  Golden Child, a CurtainUp review
In the final analysis, this new Golden Child may well find enough of an audience to enjoy a substantial Broadway run, not so much in spite of the so-so critical reception but because this seems to be a season for a heartening receptivity to dramas.
And Julyana Soelistyo is endearing and effective as the young "Golden Child" and as the ghost of the modern American narrator's grandmother in the present-day scenes.
As the aged "Golden Child" is the literary stand-in for the playwright's own (and still living) grandmother, so Andrew, the narrator (also played by Stan Eng), is his own stand-in.

 GOLDEN CHILD AWARDS FOUNDATION
Incorporated on April 8, 2003, the Golden Child Awards Foundation (GCAF) was founded by three Washington, DC Police Officers to formally address the needs of children in the community who have suffered adversity.
The GCAF was established because of the community’s heart-felt response to the human face of urban violence.
Although the central mission of the Golden Child Awards Foundation is to provide economic and emotional support to children who have suffered from traumatic violence or severe adversity, the means to this end almost always focuses on a bigger picture that involves the community support and the overall personal growth of participants.

They’re just very adaptable and willing to “go with the flow.” While the “lion” child will often challenge rules and suffer consequences as a result, “golden retrievers” often watch others make mistakes and avoid making them (thus avoiding the pain).
Golden retrievers can be called on when they’re older to “put out fires” and try and make those around them feel loved and accepted.
If you have a golden retriever child, her sensitivity, pushed to an extreme, can mean that she soaks up friction in the home like a sponge.

 Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - Seattle: Golden Child
Watching the opening night of David Henry Hwang's Golden Child at Seattle Repertory Theatre, I was struck by how the Asian-themed plays or musicals that come easily to mind all share the same theme.
Golden Child, which was nominated for a Tony in 1998 after a short run on Broadway, is a memory piece, partly inspired by David Henry Hwang's great-grandmother, who converted to Christianity at the turn of the century.
It is bookended by two incredibly weak scenes which provide a stilted concept: the grandson of Eng Ahn is visited by the spirit of his grandmother, who tells him her story, granting him a greater understanding of his ancestors and their ways, and the fact that they are with him always.

When the glittering treasure of the ancient golden child is delivered to the museum, a web of intrigue tightens around its personnel.
THE GOLDEN CHILD is Penelope Fitzgerald's first novel, published when she was 60 years old.
As Fitzgerald told The New Yorker in an interview (02/07/2000), "It was supposed to be a thriller, but it wasn't really considered thrilling enough." The plot--quite thrilling enough, according to critics and fans--involves the acquisition of an ancient work of art at a London museum, and the subsequent series of events that includes two murders.

 Stirring research provides recipe for nanotube success
If manufacturing is entering the "Golden Age" of nanotechnology, then carbon nanotubes are the "Golden Child." In recent years, these tubes of graphite many times thinner than a human hair have become a much-touted emerging technology because of their potential ability to add strength and other important properties to materials.
Adding carbon nanotubes to plastics and other polymers has potential to make automobile and airplane bodies stronger and lighter, and textiles more tear-resistant.
Although this work only sets the stage for resolving what will be an important technological issue, the findings give researchers insight into how to process nanotubes more efficiently.
