Art Exhibition at The Oberoi, Bali.
From October 09 to December 08, 2019.
Born in Amsterdam (1895 – 1978).
Rudolf Bonnet studied at the Rijks School voor Kunstnijverheid (National Arts and Crafts School) and the Rijksakademie (National Academy) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Between 1929 and 1940 the artist stayed in Ubud and became involved in community issues including healthcare and education. Bonnet was also very involved in the Pita Maha movement, which encouraged local artists to raise their artistic standards. He was captured by the Japanese during World War II, and returned to Bali in 1946. In 1947 Bonnet returned to Ubud where he tried to return to his pre-war activities. The artist organized the first post-war Balinese exhibition under the auspices of the new Republik Indonesia Timur. He also organized a new association, meant to follow in the footsteps of Pita Maha, called the Golongan Pelukis Ubud in 1953 and the Museum Puri Lukisan (Royal Museum of Painting) in 1956 in Ubud. Due to age and illness he was unable to finish the catalog of the museum, but he did donate his private collection which became the core of it.
Rudolf Bonnet died in Laren, Holland on April 18, 1978. His body was ceremonially cremated in Bali in 1979.
Rusli
Born in Medan, North Sumatra (1912 – 2005).
He studied at the Kala Bhawana Santiniketan University of Rabindranath Tagore, Bengal, India from 1932 to 1936. He spent 6 years in India studying pure painting art, fine art of mural and relief, architecture, as well as eastern art philosophy of Shantiniketan tradition and thought. Going back home from India, he directly participated in Indonesian physical revolution for independence fought against the colonialist. After the era of revolutionary war, in 1951, Rusli was designated to become a lecturer in Indonesian Fine Art Academy (ASRI) at Jogjakarta (of which now has changed to Indonesian Art Institute or ISI).
He obtained an opportunity to travel around Western Europe in 1953-1956, based on an invitation of Sticusa; a Dutch cultural institution in Indonesia that is now recognized as Erasmus Huis. Public in Europe obviously appreciated so much his artworks as shown in his sequential exhibitions in Rome, Den Haag, and Amsterdam. At the time of his exhibition in Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, at Kunst Zaal Plaats Den Haag, and Ismeo Roma, he was bestowed with warm appreciation from a lot of Western journalist as a master with perfect technique.
Rusli continued his extraordinary track record in 1960 when he was appointed as the Vice Chairman of the International of Plastic Art UNESCO (IAPA) in Indonesia. He passed away in Jakarta on 11 May 2005.
Fadjar Sidik
Born in Surabaya, East Java (1930-2004).
Fadjar studied English literature at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) before enrolling at the Indonesia Academy of Fine Arts (ASRI) in Yogyakarta. Between 1957-1961 he was in Bali to become a professional painter, there not only did he painted his impressions of the land and life of the Balinese, but witnessed the rapid tourist developments that made Balinese culture increasingly artificial as well. In response, Fadjar was moved to create his own form of expression by painting through pure impulse. He began with semi-abstract forms, which became more abstract after he became a lecturer at ASRI (Indonesia Academy of Fine Arts) at the end of 1961 in Yogyakarta. He gained the national art award from the Government in 1971 and Penghargaan Seni award from Yogyakarta in 1993, he was also active in seminars and art symposiums and has been a jury in the Biennale exhibition in Jakarta and two times in a row jury at the Art Biennale in Yogyakarta held at Taman Budaya Yogyakarta in 1988 and 1990.
Fadjar Sidik died on January 18, 2004 at his home in Yogyakarta. The artist has become an agent of change in modern painting and a pioneer of abstract art in Indonesia.
I Ketut Murtika
He is a Batuan painter born in Bali, Indonesia (1952).
In Batuan developed a rich, dense use of Chinese ink in washes, layered to create an atmosphere of dark shades off white highlights. The paintings depicted Balinese daily life or the strange ghosts and spirits haunting the Balinese people's psyche. This early Batuan school of the 1930s was a short period of absolute expressive freedom.
Agung Mangu Putra
Born in Selat, Sangeh, Bali (1963).
Agung Mangu Putra finished his education in Visual Communication Designing in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design at Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta (Indonesia Institute of the Arts Yogyakarta) in 1990.
The artist won the Philip Morris Indonesia Art Award in 1994.
His creativity has been documented in the book Mangu Putra: Nature, Culture, Tension (2000).Mangu Putra's works arise from intense contact with the world as a conscious expression of his main creative orientation. Representations of natural phenomena, along with the inner pulse of life, form the main stream of his search. The natural world, such as mountains and coasts, are depicted as identifiable objects. Some of his works with abstract designs imply natural images, such as the character of water and the texture and colours of earth or stone.
Born in Palembang, South Sumatra (1972).
He studied at Sekolah Menengah Seni Rupa (SMSR, High School of Fine Arts) in Palembang from 1989 to 1993 and at Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta (Indonesian Institute of the arts Yogyakarta) from 1995 to 2000.
He has been involved in various artists organizations in Palembang and Yogyakarta since 1990, including the Sanggar Bidar Sriwijaya which he co-founded in 1998, and Rumah Seni Muara, Yogyakarta in 2003. Eduard has had solo exhibitions in Copenhagen, Denmark, Surabaya and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He has participated in group exhibitions in USA, Canada, Singapore and Indonesia since 1995.
In 2002 he received the second prize in the Indofood Art Awards.
The Paintings of Eduard have unique qualities full of entangled forms, colours, lines and apparent textures. The artist is strong in his exploration of figures that appear strange and fantastic, a style that he developed around the year 2000.

Q: What is the probability that the most common 3 results of 12 equally likely outcomes are selected by at least 11 of a sample of size 22? For a illustrative example:
22 people are being sorted into 12 teams. 12 colored balls are placed in a hat. Each player draws a ball from the hat (with replacement) to figure out which team they are on. When the 3 largest teams are counted (random selection among ties for 3rd), the total of these teams is 11 or higher. What are the chances that this is the case?
Here's what I've gotten so far.
I've established that the maximum number of configurations for the teams is (33 choose 11). I know that I need to select for the largest 3 which can be chosen in (13 choose 2) ways. I'm unsure how to check if the largest 3 teams have 11 or more players.
This problem actually relates to a non-mathematical query I had regarding 12 possible outcomes selected by a sample of 22 persons. I have only foundational mathematical knowledge.

Source of the question:
In Dungeons and Dragons, there are 12 classes players can select. While the chance a player selects them is obviously not random in the real world, a chatizen friend of mine was contemplating a combinatorics question regarding a specific outcome of one of the games he is running. In particular, 11 of the first 22 applicants chose the same 3 classes (Wizard, Fighter, and Paladin). Then, after more applications came in (checking later on during the conversation), 50% of the 28 applications were still these 3. So we wanted a more generalized approach, prompting a question here. This conversation was in a StackExchange chat room, a bookmark of which can be found here.

A: Counting problems of this kind can be difficult.  An exact count can be had by modelling the team selections as a Markov chain/state transitions.
Each of 22 players gets assigned a "color" randomly assigned from the twelve possibilities.  If the outcomes are considered to be assignments of 22 players to twelve teams, there will be $12^{22}$ possibilities.
How many of these satisfy the condition that in the end at least eleven players belong to not more than three of the teams? Or on the contrary, how many outcomes do not have more than ten players combined among three teams?
Counting all $12^{22}$ outcomes would be time-consuming:
$$ 12^{22} \approx 10^{23.74} $$
But there is a way to trim down the outcome space to just the integer partitions of $n\le 22$ into at most twelve parts.  As the tabulation below shows, this is a much more manageable number of outcomes to track:
$$
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
n & p_{\le 12}(n) & n & p_{\le 12}(n) \\
\hline
1 & 1 & 12 & 77 \\
2 & 2 & 13 & 100 \\
3 & 3 & 14 & 133 \\
4 & 5 & 15 & 172 \\
5 & 7 & 16 & 224 \\
6 & 11 & 17 & 285 \\
7 & 15 & 18 & 366 \\
8 & 22 & 19 & 460 \\
9 & 30 & 20 & 582 \\
10 & 42 & 21 & 725 \\
11 & 56 & 22 & 905 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
Table 1. Integer partitions $p_{\le 12}(n)$ of $n$ with at most $12$ parts
However not all partitions of this kind are equally likely.  The bookkeeping will need to keep track of non-uniform probabilities for the $905$ outcomes.  This is enough state information to tell us when some combination of three teams has eleven or more players.
I did a bit of Prolog coding to get the probability values as floating point approximations, and the result is about $0.488104643$.
Here is a sketch of the probability state transition process.  We identify the states with counts adding to $n=1,\ldots,22$ (partitions with at most twelve parts of $n$), starting with the one state for $n=1$ where:
$$ 1 = 1+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0  $$
This "initial" state is reached with probability $1.0$ after the first colored ball is chosen, although the underlying color choice is not shown (and could be any one of the twelve colors).
Next the second ball is drawn, giving two possible states (partitions of $2$ with at most twelve parts).  The probabilities of the two states are unequal at this second stage, because it is more likely a different color will be drawn than it is the same color:
$$ 2 = 2+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0  $$
$$ 2 = 1+1+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0  $$
Thus these states have respective probabilities at step $2$ of $1/12$ and $11/12$.
The rules for propagating the probabilities from one step to the next are straightforward but tedious.  The number of states grows inexorably, and many of the states will have eventually have insignificantly small probabilities.  But the combined probability of all states at any one step is $1.0$, and there are no subtraction cancellations (which makes our floating point computation quite robust and reliable).
After I polish my Prolog code and commenting of it a little, I'll push it up to GitHub and give a link to it here.  Curiously I found that all but $58$ of the $905$ final states give eleven in the largest three parts, but the collective probability of these states is (as already noted) slightly less than $50$%.

Things Are Happening – February 15, 2019
A. Locklear Classic
Last weekend brought us the WOGA Classic, the headline performance being the return of Ashton Locklear to elite competition for the first time since 2017. Locklear competed beam and bars, scoring 12.550 on beam and 12.350 on bars for a two-fall performance that was sort of…Nastia 2012 Trials-esque?
I say that because the first half monster-connection was just like 2017 and clearly the on-the-bars skills are back (except for #ButHerInbars), but getting to full-routine-hit level with a dismount will take some more time. Unlike Nastia 2012 Trials, Locklear has that time.
For the most part, Locklear's bars routine looks similar to her 2017 composition, except it seems she's looking to add a toe 1/1 + full-twisting double tuck dismount combination to get her D-score up to 5.7—compared to the 5.5 from 2017. The FTDT isn't there yet, but presumably that's the plan.
Of course, the most entertaining part of Locklear's comeback performance was Sophina the Diva over here impatiently chilling on the cable waiting for her to rechalk.
In the actual standings, Yurika Yumoto of Japan took the senior AA with 51.350. Yumoto was on that B-squad Asian Games team for Japan last year, and her 13.500 beam score, along with the fact that she outscored Nagi Kajita here (Kajita made the worlds team last year), should keep her in the conversation in 2019.
Placing 2nd in the seniors was Sloane Blakely, who went 50.050 despite an utter barstastrophe because of her massive 14.850 beam score. In the juniors, Kayla DiCello dominated as expected, though Skye Blakley's three-event score (didn't do bars) was competitive with what DiCello put up on those pieces. Love Birt took second in the juniors, followed by Sydney Morris in third.
B. This weekend
Your assignment this weekend is Winter Cup. It is not optional. This is not an extra credit assignment. This is part of your semester grade and will be on the midterm. At the conclusion of Florida/Alabama tonight, you are compelled to switch your viewing over to Winter Cup to take in the race to make the US men's national team.
Senior prelims/AA finals are this Friday evening, followed by a second day of competition on Sunday night to determine event champions. Because the first six national team spots are determined by AA ranking, gymnasts who get those spots won't necessarily have to compete on Sunday should they not wish to (i.e., nap time, boys!). Those aiming for the remaining at-large national team spots will have to compete on Sunday as well to try to get maximum event points.
Remember that this is the Winter Cup of Splats, so while the usual suspects will be expected to snatch those six AA spots…it's Winter Cup. You never know who's going to end up doing a sideways PBars routine for 3.550. It might not even be Marvin Kimble. In comeback town, Eddie Penev is doing five events, people. As he told Kensley, "As for winter cup, I'm doing five events and I couldn't be happier given I had surgery 6.5 months ago to the day. I've upgraded pommels, pbars and high bar! Slightly watered down floor, but it should still be the highest start. And vault just a Simone-esque man-amar." I mean…enough said.
Donnell Whittenburg is also competing as (currently) a non-NT member, looking to get back on the national team and change the script from the general weirdness that was his two-event comeback at nationals in 2018.
In other events, don't forget that qualifications in Melbourne, the second Olympic apparatus qualifier, begin this coming Thursday (Thursday Australia time, so Wednesday night for those of us in the US). It's happeninggggggg.
C. Jesolo team
Meanwhile, it's already almost Jesolo time. Jesolo is being held unusually early this year, the senior AA/team session overlapping with American Cup on March 2nd, so it's basically milliseconds away.
That's why it's probably good that the US women have a nominative roster put together, with a senior team of Jordan Chiles, Shilese Jones, Alyona Shchennikova, and Sunisa Lee, and a junior team of Kayla DiCello, Olivia Greaves, Sophia Butler, and Lilly Lippeatt.
If this holds, that would mean every senior currently on the national team has a world cup or Jesolo assignment for 2019 except for Kara Eaker, Ragan Smith, and Trinity Thomas. That also means that presumably Butler and Lippeatt have been added to the national team following the last camp, since they…weren't otherwise on it?
D. Baku roster
We now have our hands on the killer roster for Baku, the third event of eight in the apparatus Olympic qualification series, coming just a few weeks after Melbourne.
Russia is sending Maria Paseka, Anastasia Ilyankova, and Aleksandra Shchekoldina on the women's side, so it won't be boring. Paseka is perfectly suited to this route as an event specialist since she can absolutely win vault and wouldn't make sense for a main Olympic team of AAers, but we also haven't seen her in a while, so…
Spiridonova went to Cottbus to try to get bars points at the first qualifier, and now Russia is sending Ilyankova to Baku to do the same thing. Since only three results can count for each athlete over eight meets, it makes sense for nations that are going all-in for these spots to vary who they're sending and not put all their eggs in one basket, especially if that basket is Russian.
China is sending Liu Tingting and Chen Yile—just to compete since they're ineligible to earn qualification points as part of the 2018 worlds team—but also Lyu Jiaqi. Keep tabs on her. She's currently ranked 3rd on bars after Cottbus and is planning to compete at both Melbourne and Baku as well, a serious darkhorse challenger if the major favorites end up qualifying through other means. For example, Derwael is currently in 1st on bars, but most likely going to qualify at 2019 worlds as an AA individual or with the Belgian team, and Andrade is currently in 2nd but most likely going to qualify as part of the Brazilian team at 2019 worlds, so if that happens, both of their points would be redistributed and Lyu would end up with 1st-place points from Cottbus.
As always, you can check out the qualification calendar and read up on the current standings and ranking point allocation rules. What it lacks in sense, it makes up for in complications!
On the US side, Trevor Howard and Colin Van Wicklen will be going for the men (Howard is currently ranked 9th on both rings and vault after Cottbus), and Jade Carey will be making her second qualifier appearance. I'm very interested to see how she stacks up against Paseka on vault, as well as against Ferrari on floor, someone else who is aggressively targeting that spot with a realistic shot at it. It's not a cakewalk.
E. Elite qualifiers
At Monday's US elite qualifier at Gliders, Emily Lee got her AA qualification score to the senior US Classic. If you recall, Lee recorded a massive beam score at the elite qualifiers last year (and did so again here with 14.500) but didn't get to compete beam at American Classic because she got injured on a Shap 1/2 on bars and had to pull out mid-meet and withdraw from the US Classic as well.
In the juniors, Ciena Alipio and Sienna Robinson got their qualification scores. The series continues today at World Champions Centre with junior and senior qualifiers running this afternoon and evening.
F. GymCastic
It's a party! This week, Evan and Kensley join us to talk WOGA Classic, Skinner 2020, Iordache's potential return, and all the latest NCAA —including a commission about the bubble teams for regionals qualification this year.

I'm fairly certain Sydney Morris took 3rd in the junior division at WOGA? I could be mistaken
Does anyone know why didn't Ragan and Kara get an assignment?
A few people saw pictures of Ragan in a boot on someones instagram a while ago, so it's probably something to do with that.
I'm still wondering if OU will try to convince Ragan – at this point I think she's a long shot for 2020 – to come on time instead of deferring so her freshman year is the same as Maggie's senior year (and to cushion the loss of Breana and Nicole a bit more).
Ragan did go through eh 2016 Olympic Trials and was an alternate so it's not like she hasn't gone that route before. With her foot/ankle injury Ragan might be better off having surgery (I think she needed it but put it off last year) and focus on being health to compete AA at OU.
angrybeam says:
I wish she would do this. If she really wants to make a run at 2020, I really wish she would've taken all of 2018 off to heal.
Well, if she is left off the World Team again this year, then it should likely make sense for her to retire and head to OU in January 2020. But I am sure Zmeskal is pushing for Smith to go for 2020. Ragan is likely Texas Nightmare's last chance at Olympics for a little while.
By the way: PLEASE PLEASE go and check out the Texas Dreams Wikipedia page— It is HILARIOUS!!!
Lilly says:
I wish Ragan would join OU this summer. I don't see her making any major teams actually anymore. Should've taken off 2018 if she wanted to shoot for 2020 but then it's Texas Dreams and we all know what that means..
Zyxcba says:
What else will be on the midterm?
What is Jordan Bowers assignment?
Also is Ferrari fully back?
Jordan Bowers is not on the national team currently. So no assignment.


The Consumer Electronics Show is where the world meets each year to show off the latest and greatest technology products. For 2012, the tech experts at CNET.com have once again chosen the most noteworthy products of the show.
The LG 55EM9800 55-inch OLED TV snagged our Best of Show award for CES 2012.
LAS VEGAS--If it's January, it must be CES.
The Consumer Electronics Show (or CES, as it's affectionately known) is the technology industry's annual megaconvention, bringing together more than 140,000 attendees to see the latest and greatest products, services, and apps--the building blocks of our increasingly tech-centric, hyper-connected 21st century culture.
Techies know that Canada's Research In Motion is hard at work upgrading the next generation of BlackBerry smartphones to a new operating system known as QNX. What's less well known is that QNX is also being prepped for deployment to cars. At CES 2012, the QNX-powered dashboard wowed us, with an innovative application of NFC (near-field communication) technology to instantly and automatically pair a Bluetooth smartphone, Ultra HD voice technology that brings stereo CD quality audio to phone calls, and apps integration for both front- and backseat passengers. If this is the car of tomorrow, we can't wait to gas it up--or recharge the battery, as the case may be. Read more about the QNX CAR 2 mobile apps platform.
The current market for smartphones is dominated by Android phones and Apple's iPhone. But two experienced juggernauts have teamed up to take them on: Nokia and Microsoft. The Lumia 900 represents Nokia's return to the U.S. market, with a new superphone running Microsoft's excellent (if ill-named) Windows Phone 7 operating system. If the gorgeous design isn't enough, there's a brilliant touch-screen display, support for 4G LTE, and a powerful camera. Read more about the Nokia Lumia 900.
The big trend in cameras is the move toward so-called "interchangeable lens cameras," or ILCs, which generally offer much better quality than point-and-shoot and megazoom cameras, but in smaller and lighter form factors than dSLRs. Fujifilm is tossing its hat in the ring with the new X-Pro 1, its first mirrorless model. Targeted at professionals, the camera incorporates several innovations, including a promising new sensor with a color filter array and lovely hybrid viewfinder, all in a sleek retro design that builds on the company's earlier X100. Read more about Fujifilm's X-Pro 1.
"3D printing" is another one of those misleading tech terms. No, it's not about publishing kids books that require 3D glasses. In fact, 3D printing is the process of home fabrication--making actual real-world ("3D") objects from the three-dimensional blueprints you design (or download) on your computer. We saw two promising 3D printers at the show, but the the MakerBot Replicator one-ups the rival Cube 3D with "dualstrusion" technology, meaning it can print objects in multiple colors and materials. Preorder now for $1,999, and you'll be able to start your backroom factory when the MakerBot ships in mid-February. Read more about the MakerBot Replicator 3D printer.
The Simple.TV DVR might just be the next big thing for cable-cutters. It's improbably a DVR without a built-in hard drive or video output, instead letting you supply your own hard drive, then stream live and recorded over-the-air TV to the Simple.TV app available on iPad, Roku, Boxee, Google TV. Simple.TV can stream your live and recorded over-the-air TV outside your home network (Slingbox-style), as long as you sign up for the $5/month premium service. Think of it like your own personal cloud-based video server for your over-the-air TV. Read more about the Simple.TV DVR.
In the laptop realm, CES 2012 has been all about ultrabooks, the thin, light, and supersleek Windows alternatives to the MacBook Air. The newly announced HP Spectre distinguished itself from the pack with an all-glass lid and palm rest. (Don't worry about it cracking--it's the same superstrong Gorilla Glass found in cell phone screens.) At a CES devoid of many eye-popping laptops, the Spectre could be the most stylish of the bunch. Beats Audio is included on this premium ultrabook, along with an inset analog wheel for volume control, support for near-field communication (NFC), and HP Wireless Audio. Alas, you're going to pay for having the coolest laptop at the coffee shop: prices start at $1,399 when it ships in February. Read more about the Envy 14 Spectre.
Windows 8 just got a kick in the apps via BlueStacks. The program, which will ship preinstalled on select Windows 8 machines, will bring the entire Android Market to Microsoft's nascent OS when it eventually ships (word is, that will be by the end of 2012). So when Windows 8 launches, more than 400,000 Android apps will be at your fingertips. Even better, BlueStacks is designed to be fully integrated into Windows' new "Metro" interface, so your key Android apps can get their own dedicated tile. Read more about BlueStacks.
Wireless routers are backbone of any home network, but they're no longer limited to just converting your home broadband to Wi-Fi. The D-Link Amplifi HD Media Router 3000 DIR-857 is perhaps the best do-it-all "Swiss Army Knife" router we've seen at the show. When released later this month, the DIR-857 will optimize online video (think Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Go) with blazing dual-band speeds and an "HD Fuel" feature, which prioritizes video streams. Additionally, it's got USB 3.0 for optimal connections to connected devices (printers, storage) and the ability to access and manage via a Web browser, iOS, or Android apps. Read more about the D-Link flagship DIR-857.
The Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet upended the tablet market at the end of 2011 by offering "good enough" small-screen tablets for under $250. If the Asus Memo 370T is any indication, we may see the list of caveats at that price point all but disappear. Powered by the new quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3, the 7-inch Android 4.0 tablet proves that premium performance doesn't require a premium price. In spite of its low asking price, the Asus Memo 370T comes stocked with 1GB of system RAM, 16GB of storage, an 8-megapixel camera, HDMI output, and a 1,280x800-pixel resolution IPS (in-plane switching) screen. Read more about the Asus Memo 370T.
For years, the future of TV display technology was said to be OLED (organic light-emitting display) technology, which offers excellent performance (absolute black levels, ultrafast panel, and excellent viewing angles) without the need for backlighting. The technology is already used in many cell phone displays, but--after years of teasing 24- and 30-inch models--both LG and Samsung came to CES 2012 with full-size 55-inch OLED TVs that they're pledging to release before the end of the year. The models are very similar, but we gave the edge to the LG 55EM9800 because it was the only one to get an actual model number and public ship date ("Q3"). The TV was the jaw-dropper of the show, packing its gorgeous picture into a frame that's just 4mm thick. No price was provided, but expect this one to bust the bank account when it ships. In this case, however, it may just be worth it. Read more about LG's 55-inch OLED TV.


I was inspired while watching my children and others at a butterfly sanctuary in Cairns, and have been captured by the idea of 'TRANSFORMATION' ever since. Each person was intrigued by the butterflies, their beauty, their uniqueness and their illusiveness! Everyone wanting to be landed upon, and then capturing a photograph of the experience so that it was never lost……What if we all had an opportunity to experience this in our everyday life, this beauty and uniqueness, and 'own' the experience as a part of us, so that it would never be lost.
My mind wondered to a recent Dance Movement Therapy session I had co-facilitated where we had explored Butterfly Transformation through the wisdom of Native American Medicine. We had followed through movement and drawing the life cycle of the butterfly, taking time to embody each of the 4 main stages (egg, lava, cocoon, birth) to explore how these were unfolding in our own lives… the never ending cycle of self-transformation. Each stage provided a richness of awareness and highlighted the importance of times for growth and change, through movement and stillness.
I also thought about my Authentic Healing work using the modern day framework of Forensic Healing combined with the Ancient wisdom and Essential Oils, and the transforming power of this. When we gain a better understanding of how our main archetypes, belief systems and emotional patterns are created by our history, we gain clarity on how they impact, and in many cases dictate our life, resulting in physical and emotional disharmony. When we can choose to release these if required, and empower ourselves…. we can live in the world transformed.
Like the butterfly, our life is a journey with times of outward growth and expression in the world, combined with times of internal contemplation and stillness when we consolidate, integrate and perhaps make choices to change direction in our life. I can see my life through this lens of change and transformation, created both through choice and by necessity. My journey began growing up in the country connected to the land, then choosing to go to university and eventually working for the mining industry as an environmental geochemist. Then came motherhood, which resulted in a time of deep self-contemplation, who am I in the world, what are my values, what do I want my life to look like now and into the future?
And now 16 years later and some bumpy waters under the bridge, I find myself fully content with how it has all unfolded so far. My children have grown into amazing people, never seizing to amaze me with their wisdom, always constant reminders of the importance of being fully present in the moment, capturing the joy and love that is available. They have taught me to be a parent that guides her children, remembering to embrace their differences and celebrate their lives, recognising that both the big things and the small, matter. I have been blessed to share much of my life with my wonderful husband. We share very different views of the world, and while he has not always understood me along the way, he has always been my rock. His unwavering love and support has created a space for me to go into my 'cocoon' and then flourish into who I am today, and for that I am forever grateful.
My work is now a reflection of this transformation. Working in the field of Dance Movement Therapy, nurturing others, providing a space for new understandings and transformation. I combine with this with the power of Authentic Healing, going deep into life patterns, removing the energetic history, and creating opportunities for new life to expand and flourish. I am truly blessed in this life-time.

I have a deep passion for working with people who want to transforms their life, learn the lessons from their past and move forward into an empowered future. These people are willing to go deeply into the core of their issues and create powerful shifts in their world.
It was when I first worked with a group of women experiencing Post Natal Depression that I realised I could truly make a difference in peoples lives… be an effective part of their healing journey.
I realised at that point that I didn't need to be born with a gift, but that my own journey through life's challenges has required me to 'dig deep' to uncover my own natural healing abilities to initially heal myself and now help others…. and the exciting thing is that you have these same natural abilities.
You may be facing physical pains or emotional imbalances like anxiety and depression, feeling disconnected and frustrated in life. I have experience these deep dark places in my life… asking "what's it all about?"… not being sure of how to carry on… so I really understand the challenges that these places hold.
When we work together, I take the best of my analytical background, my abilities as a nurturing mother, and draw upon my compassionate teaching and healing skills, to create a space of transformation, which truly empowers you.
I will assist you to create connections back to yourself, to your own Body Wisdom and Inner Guidance…your Core Wisdom. We will unravel your core issues that have lead to your physical and emotional disharmony, and release them from your system…now isn't that a great thought!

The Most Terrifying Victorian Children's Book
Today I'm going to share with you something that I happened to stumble across while looking into the bonkers Victorian Valentine cards we covered in one of our videos. Today I am sharing the story of Struwwelpeter which is frankly the most bizarre and horrifying childrens book I've ever come across… where naughty children are starved, disfigured and sometimes killed.
Because nothing does disturbing like the combination of Victorian morality, children's education and German fairy-tale.
The book itself comes from the pen of Frankfurt psychiatrist Dr. Heinrich Hoffman in 1844, and I can only assume he was looking to increase the number of traumatised patients booking in for a consultation. It forms 16 pages of illustrated stories designed to highlight that children who misbehave have to face the consequences of their actions. So far so good.
Most of the lessons are quite understandable and have consequences that you and I can easily understand such as the titular character of Struwwelpeter himself. Peter is a boy who will not take care of his personal hygiene. He won't brush his hair, have his nails cut and he definitely wouldn't bathe and as a result he lives his days out being unloved. A harsh but truly understandable consequence of his lack of hygiene.
But then they get really bizarre and dark. Let's take a few of these educational tales…
First up is Bosen Friedrich or 'Cruel Frederick' who is just plain nasty to animals. You know the sort, pulling the wings off flies, killing birds etc. But one day he beats his dog mercilessly, and as a dog lover I'm right behind this as the dog turns on him and chews his foot off. The next page shows us Frederick laid up in bed nursing his wounds and meanwhile the dog in totally unpunished and even gets Frederick's dinner. Let that be a lesson as to where dogs sit in the pecking order.
Then we can move onto Kasper or 'The Boy who would not have soup'. Casper refuses food with a foot-stamping tantrum that will be all too familiar to those of you with children of a certain age, or those of you who were children of a certain age. But, unlike many children, he stubbornly holds out for five days. The five days it takes to waste away and starve to death.
I look at this and can still hear my grandmother saying 'There's nowt else so you'll starve' – perhaps she'd read the book.
So far we're looking at the logical, if extreme, consequences of your own actions but that's clearly not harsh enough for our learned friend Hoffman. Who incidentally also writes under a pseudonym of Henrich Kinderlieb, the surname translates to 'child friendly' or 'nice to children'… I disagree, but I digress.
If we take a look at "The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb". This is a small child, Konrad, who sucks his thumb, and is warned that he should have grown out of sucking his thumb.
But you know he just can't resist…
So lo and behold, the terrifying Scissorman, appears and hacks off his thumbs. I MEAN REALLY????
This is not the only gratuitous injury inflicted on curious and demanding children. Harriet is completely incinerated by playing with matches and poor Flying Robert merely wanted to play out in the rain. He even took an umbrella, but he was blown away to his death by the storm.
Most of the stories and lessons within could easily form the sort of childhood parables we could see today, although the story about three racist boys who are turned black by a wizard's magic inkwell is still uncomfortable reading. The lesson might be that they should accept difference, lest they find out what it's like to be a victim of such abuse but even that lesson still displays the unacceptable racist tropes of its time.
What looks horrifying to us today was not exactly out of place in children's teaching in the mid 19th century. There were very much two schools of thought. On one side there were the romantics who tended to view that a child was best served by freedom, experimentation and exploration and the other side of the argument, the more scientific side, which very much felt that morality had to be instilled into children as quickly and brutally as possible as it was not something they would discover themselves. In this Struwwelpeter is not alone, Grimm's fairy tales are filled with abuse, assault and murder and even Hans Christian Andersen writes of a girl getting her feet sliced off as a punishment.
Given that background you can see why the book was a whirlwind success in its day and over the years it has been reworked with improvements in illustrations and also translated into over 35 languages. The English reworking has been placed in the public domain by the Gutenburg project and you can read that here.
Do enjoy disturbing the hell out of your kids won't you?
Some of those reworkings have formed the basis of political and social satire starting as early as 1899 with the Political Struwwelpeter, then the story of 'Swollen Headed William' to parody Kaiser Wilhelm in 1914, and of course the Nazis gets the Struwwelpeter treatment in three editions in 1933, 1941 and 1943.
The example we have here is the 1941 book Struwwelhitler by Robert and Phillip Spence, under the pseudonym of Doktor Schreklichheit or Doctor Horror.
In this book we see several leading Nazis featuring in the traditional German morality stories. Cruel Frederick has been changed over to 'Cruel Adolph' who abuses his dog Fritz as described here:
"When patient Fritz in abject mood, complained that he was short of food, 'Be off!' cried Adolph, 'Greedy scamp! To Dachau Concentration Camp'."
In similarity to the original story of cruel Frederick we can see Adolf getting his foot chewed off and lying in the recovery bed while his dog gets all the food, but note the subtle difference. Here, the doctor is feeding him rat poison just for good measure. The caption reads
'So Adolf had to go to bed. The doctor came and shook his head. Remarked that he would soon be dead. And gave him nasty physic too. Precisely with that end in view'
The previously horrifying story of Little Suck-Thumb we discussed earlier is transformed to bring us the story of Little Joseph Goebbels and his poison pen. As Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels is portrayed as a small weasley Nazi man who scribbles lies, and as such the scissorman comes to take his thumbs so he can't hold a pen. Genius stuff.
I find it not only bizarre and fascinating that this exists, but that a work that had been centrepiece of German folklore, culture and morality for over a century is used so breathtakingly to stab directly at the architects of the Third Reich's culture and morality.
While it is mostly unheard of outside Germany these days, the influence of Struwwelpeter has stayed with us throughout the 20th century. Here is an American adaptation satirising Nixon…
...and if you take combine the scruffy character of Struwwelpeter himself and combine him with the scissorman, you get the 1990 Tim Burton classic Edward Scissorhands which gave Johnny Depp his first leading movie role…. And all from a 16 page children's story from a German psychiatrist.
If you want to dive further into this world then you can visit the Struwwelpeter museum in Frankfurt.

HRCP demands lifting of travel ban on journalist
LAHORE - The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has demanded that all curbs on journalist Cyril Almeida travelling abroad must be immediately withdrawn and any grievance that the authorities might have against him must be dealt with in accordance with the law, due process and universally acknowledged freedoms of opinion and expression.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the Commission stated: "Barring Cyril Almeida from travelling abroad and the apparent pressure on his employers, the highly respected Dawn newspaper, will cause distress to all those, at home and abroad, who believe in the freedom of expression and the rights of journalists. This is not the time to turn the international journalist community against Pakistan.
"It seems that the authorities are overreacting to a story by Cyril, which touches on journalists' responsibilities in times of trial. HRCP believes that civil-military relations are not a subject beyond the concerns of working journalists or the people at large.
"The arbitrary placing of names on the Exit Control List (ECL) has been in debate for long and under the revised thinking on the matter it has been decided that any person whose freedom of movement is to be curtailed must be heard before his name is added to the ECL.
"We realize that Pakistan is passing through difficult times but we are convinced, more than ever, that wisdom lies in respecting the freedom of expression rather than suppressing it, because neither national unity can be achieved nor any issues of governance resolved by finding scapegoats among journalists.
"HRCP calls upon the authorities to immediately remove Cyril's name from the ECL and refrain from harassing him and intimidation of his employers. We must also stress that whatever matters are of concern to the establishment must be dealt with in accordance with the law, freedom of expression and other rights of citizens, particularly with regard to the due legal process." - HRCP

Every child in Canada has a right to education. Many First Nations young people do not get the same opportunities to learn or to achieve their dreams as others do because of inequities in First Nations education.
Provincial/Territorial education laws apply on and off reserves but the federal government is supposed to pay for education on reserves. If the federal government provides less money for schools and education then the provinces/territories typically do not top it up. This means First Nations children and youth across Canada get inequitable education just because they are First Nations and living on a reserve.
Shannen Koostachin, founder of Shannen's Dream for safe and comfy schools, wanted all children to live their dreams. School is a Time for Dreams invites people from all over the country to support equity in education for First Nations and all young people in the country.

"Hope Lies in the Proles": Tell-tale Notes of Warning in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four
Ipsita Mallick Research Scholar, Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, Odisha, India
Proles, Totalitarianism, Mass Surveillance, State Control, Mutability Of Past, Dystopia.
An exaggeration of the political climate of the day, the futuristic Nineteen Eighty-Four manifests an abundance of Orwell's genius of framing a political world of rare excellence, and gives the impression of being written to frighten people into a distasteful recognition of the dangers of the present and future. In it, Orwell exemplifies a world where man's identity is not only lost but laboriously erased to cripple his sense of individuality, and implicitly directs us to the realization that under such paralysing conditions, the only promise of hope lies not in the hands of the power holders and their pawns, but in the everyman, the working-class citizen or the prole- who by their design and partly his own, continues to live unconscious of such oppression and willingly cooperates with his oppressor. The impetus to work on the topic, 'The Hope is in the Proles: Tell-tale Notes of Warning in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four' came from an arresting realization of the ugly truth captured in the pages of the novel that explores themes of totalitarianism, penetrative state control, mass surveillance, mutability of the past, role of language in sustaining a people, man's degradation to a mere automaton and the potential power of the working class.
The purpose of this research is to: first, substantiate the hope that Orwell as well as his protagonist Winston claims, lies in the proles, and second, highlight the alarm-raising notes of warning that layer the writing. By analyzing the details of Winston's journey and his fall in principles, the aim is to cast a look at the dystopia as Orwell's attempt to chronicle a future the writer didn't want the world to see come true.

They say that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" but drinking a glass of your own freshly apple juice every day is even better. Drinking pure apple juice goes even further helping to keep you gorgeous and healthy and also reversing some chronic conditions and diseases.
For instance, a study done at the University of Southampton in London found that eating just two apple as a week can reduce your risk of developing asthma by as much as 32%! If that is a fact then just imagine what drinking the pure vitamins, minerals, antioxidants flavenoids, and other nutrients in apples can do for you if you drink them as a juice.
Squeezed fruit juices are dense with nutrients and almost become like a healing tincture in a glass. It gets into your system very quickly because it is a raw liquid that is lively with enzymes.
Juicing your apples in an inexpensive way to get most of the vitamins you need in a day. Furthermore apple juice is delicious and combines nicely with a number of other nutritious fruits and vegetables such as juiced carrots, celery, spinach strawberries and lime juice.
Apples prevent heart attacks. This is because they contain phytonutrients the break down bad cholesterol. One of the great things about apples is that even the juice is a great source of soluble and insoluble fiber. The insoluble fiber in the juice prevents cholesterol from forming on your artery walls which in turn helps reduce the risk of heart attack. This fiber also absorbs toxins in the intestinal tract and helps cleanse the bowels and get them moving.
If you are a smoker you definitely need to drink your apples as a Dutch study has found that doing so every day can reduce your risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Drinking your apples can also help allay the aches and pains associated with arthritis and rheumatism. This is thanks to the generous amounts of potassium that are in each one. The juice flushes out the sodium and acids that keep your body sore. Apple juice also flushes out the liver so you are less toxic in general. The faster you can recover from exercising the faster you will be able to get back up again and lose even more weight.
If you are running out of breath while running you might have a bit of asthma. Overweight people also have trouble walking fast or running and end up breathing through their mouth instead of their nose.
Converting from mouth breathing to nose breathing is the best way to reduce those big gasps of air that can trigger an asthma attack. You must also make it a rule to convert to nose breathing before using an exercise program.
Remember that the less you think about it the more natural it will seem to breathe through your nose. Do not use decongestants before doing the exercises. Breathing through your mouth may seem strange at first but you will get used to it.
3. Close your mouth and lightly pinch your nose closed. Hold your breath.
4. Rock your head back and forwards from a vertical position down to your knees. Continue to do this until you have to take a breath.
5. Take that breath with your mouth closed.
The Control Pause is your measure of success with Buteyko and is the length of time you feel comfortable before having to take the next breath.
1. Sit up comfortably in a chair. Breathe out normally then hold your breath in the out position.
2. Gently pinch your nose closed with your thumb and forefinger.
3. Measure how long you can hold your breath until the first signs of discomfort occur.
The point of this is to establish a benchmark that you will try to improve each time that you hold your breath while doing your Buteyko exercises. There is no norm to this. Some people can only hold their breath for one second while others can hold it over a minute. The idea is to only beat the length of time that you held it last time.Most people are naturally free from asthma the minute they can practice eth control pause greater than twenty seconds.
The point of this is to establish a benchmark that you will try to improve each time that you hold your breath. There is no norm to this. Some people can only hold their breath for one second while others can hold it over a minute. The idea is to only beat the length of time that you held it last time. This can definitely help you be fitter.

PGA Removes 2022 Championship From Trump's N.J. Golf Course – The Wall Street Journal
The PGA of America has stripped the 2022 PGA Championship from President Trump's New Jersey golf course, an example of the economic consequences that may await the departing leader in the aftermath of the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
PGA of America president Jim Richerson said in a tweet that the board of directors had voted to terminate the agreement to play next year's PGA Championship at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, where the president stayed for multi-week "working vacations" during the last four years.
White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while a spokesperson for the president's company called the decision a "breach of a binding contract."
"It has become clear that conducting the PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster would be detrimental to the PGA of America brand," Richerson said in a video.
A statement issued on behalf of the Trump Organization said that the PGA of America had no right to terminate the agreement and that the organization would not be deterred from continuing to promote the game.

This project tells the story of Lin Jaldati, a Dutch Jewish Communist cabaret performer in the 1930s, Nazi death camp survivor, postwar immigrant to East Germany, and global Yiddish singing sensation until her death in 1988. Shneer examines how Jaldati's Yiddish music and her compelling biography made her one of if not the key player in shaping Holocaust memory in East Germany, where Soviet-inspired Communist cultural politics about war commemoration intersected with the fact of Germany's role as the perpetrator of war crimes. Jaldati's Yiddish music sat at that intersection.
The work most recently was performed at Indiana University and the Center for Jewish History.
You can learn more about artist Jewlia Eisenberg, the founder of Charming Hostess.
This book is a short German-language mini-biography about Jaldati, a Dutch Jewish Communist Yiddish singer, who survived the Holocaust and was the last person to see Anne Frank alive. After the war, she and her husband, Eberhard Rebling, moved to East Berlin where she became the Yiddish diva of the Communist world, including a 1965 concert including Yiddish music in North Korea, and a 1983 concert in Yad Vashem, where she was a representative of her adopted home in East Germany. While primarily in Yiddish, the Yad Vashem concert included German-language anti-fascist songs by Hans Eisler, the first time German music was heard in the hallowed halls of Israel's Holocaust memorial.
The book had its formal launch in Germany at the Leipzig Book Fair, Friday, March 13, 2015 at 2pm, along with other events in Duisberg and Berlin (pdf).

Ithaca Rotary Pancake Breakfast is a 45-year tradition
by Kelsey O'Connor November 6, 2018 February 1, 2023
ITHACA, N.Y. — Pancakes on election day served by the Ithaca Rotary Club are a 45-year local tradition.
Coltivare's kitchen was full of volunteers Tuesday cooking hashbrowns, eggs, and sausages, packing cups of applesauce, yogurt and cantaloupe, and of course, flipping blueberry and plain pancakes. The Ithaca Rotary Club serves anywhere from 800 to 1,200 people. The club began serving people at 7 a.m. and will continue until 7 p.m., just a couple hours shy of polls closing.
Proceeds from the breakfast support Ithaca Rotary's Youth International Exchange Program. This year, they have one student studying abroad in India and are hosting one student from Sardinia. The exchange program lets students ages 15 to 19 study abroad in more than 100 countries for either a full academic year or a short-term trip.
Mary Berens, president of the Ithaca Rotary Club, said the student exchange program has existed since the mid-60s in Ithaca. She added that they are always looking for families to host exchange students for three months.
Behind the scenes, anywhere between 50 and 60 volunteers work to make the breakfast run smoothly.

For many years, the pancake breakfast was held at the Women's Community Building on West Seneca Street in Ithaca until that turned into apartments, it was then hosted at the VFW until finding its way to Coltivare at 235 S. Cayuga St., Ithaca.
Since 1973, the club's election day pancake breakfast has been an Ithaca tradition that brings the community together.
"I think it's a good time to be a community on election day," Berens said. "Even though most of us vote in different polling places, it's just a very community-minded day."
In addition to the traditional pancake breakfast, the Ithaca Rotary Club is hosts several other events in the community, like the Share the Warmth campaign and recently the Ithaca Rotary Community Fireworks. They also have a fundraiser coming up, the Dozen Dinner Draw, where people can buy tickets to be entered in a drawing for restaurant gift certificates. The proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Cornell University's AguaClara Program, which develops community-scale water treatment technologies to get safe drinking water to underserved communities.
The 45th Annual Election Day Rotary Pancake Day will go until 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6. The cost is $9 for adults and free for kids under 12. For more information visit the Facebook event page.

In his State of the Union address last evening, President Barack Obama urged Congress to take on the issue of illegal immigration, implying that addressing that issue would include passage of the DREAM Act.
The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented students who join the military or pursue higher education. "Today, there are hundreds of thousands of students excelling in our schools who are not American citizens," the president said. "Some are the children of undocumented workers, who had nothing to do with the actions of their parents. They grew up as Americans and pledge allegiance to our flag, and yet live every day with the threat of deportation."
He said the nation should find a way to use the talents of such youths.
A version of the DREAM Act was passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in December but stalled after introduction to the U.S. Senate.

Suicide Bomber Kills 15 in Attack on Primary School in Iraq
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A suicide bomber drove a truck packed with explosives into the playground of a primary school in northern Iraq and blew himself up, killing 14 students and their headmaster on Sunday, police and medical sources said.
The attack followed a suicide bombing minutes earlier on a police station in the same town, Tel Afar, about 70 km (45 miles) northwest of Mosul city, where insurgents have a foothold.
There were no casualties in the police station attack.
"We were exposed to two big explosions today in which dozens were killed or injured. The first was a truck bomb targeting a police station and the second was detonated inside the primary school," the mayor of Tel Afar, Abdul Al Abbas, told Reuters.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for either of the bombings, but such attacks are the hallmark of al Qaeda.
The majority of Tel Afar's residents are from Iraq's Shiite Turkman minority, which in recent years has been the target of killings and kidnappings.
"The fingerprints of al Qaeda are clear on both attacks," said an official in the town who declined to be named.
More than 6,000 people have been killed in violence across the country this year, according to monitoring group Iraq Body Count.

As three mighty Je'daii Masters strive to subdue the storm, three of their students struggle to forge an uneasy alliance with the dark stranger whose presence created the storm in the first place.
As the first arc of the epic tale comes to a close, powers beyond even the Je'daii's understanding will be revealed, and a threat to the galaxy at large will be unveiled!
