Thanksgiving Point Dance Championships Director’S Packet Thanksgiving Point Dance Championships Director’s packet Website: www.americaonstage.org | e-mail: [email protected] | Phone (801) 224-8334 We are SO HAPPY to have you and your dancers dancing with us. Finally, back on stage!!!! This year we are PACKED. SOLD OUT COMPLETELY! THREE COMPLETELY FULL DAYS. It's going to be awesome! Directors! We are so excited to get you and your dancers back on stage. A few notes: Our first priority is to your dancers and to you. Getting you all back on stage. Safely, happily, and with the best experience we can give everyone. With that in mind, we have several things to do to make sure we can get everyone on stage, including spaced out studio blocks, awards done in studio times, spread out schedules, mask requirements when not on stage, and limits on the number of people who can gather inside facilities as well as audience limitations. We appreciate your understanding in all these things. Doing them means we get to dance on stage. And that's the most important thing to us all. Now, let's get ready to rock those stages. COVID - 19 Adjustments We're going to dance! We're going to DANCE!!! We're so excited! After the year of 2020 in which so many things prevented us from dancing, we're going to make it work. And we're going to do all we can to make it safe, awesome, and working for everyone. Here's how: STUDIO BLOCKS To make sure each studio dances in as safe an envoronment as possible, we are going to dance in STUDIO BLOCKS. Studios will come at the time appointed, dance all their teams, individuals, duos/trios and we will awards all dancers before their block ends. All Solos/Duos/Trios who are not with teams will dance on Thursday (with a few on Friday morning) in an order you will see on the schedule. The final schedule comes out on February 10th. Watch it. You can see the Studio's schedule in this packet. AWARDS All Queen, King, and Standard Solos/Duos/Trios will be scored and the results will be posted on the app and posting wall. Dancers will get their awards at the awards table as COVID dictates that we won't be able to have everyone around to have a large Queen ceremony on stage announce on stage (And we are dancing for 3 solid days so when would we do it - Saturday evening for 3 hours...! :-) ). We'll update how we do awards as we get closer. All Team awards will also be posted or announced if time allows. ADVANCED LEVEL All ADVANCED Queen, King, and Standard Solos/Duos/Trios will be scored and the results will not be posted or announced until all Advanced is complete Saturday evening. We will announce these awards and you can see them in person or online as we will livestream the awards. All dancers will pick up their trophy right after they dance and the tiaras and sashes for 1st place and overall awards will be picked up at the end of Saturday. When Advanced is complete, we will post all the advanced awards online as well as announce it online too!. All Advanced teams will also be posted and announced when advanced is completed. We'll ask to have someone come back Saturday night to pick up awards for the studio's advanced awards, or you can come back. (see below)! More info as we get closer too. OVERALL AWARDS Once the competition is over and the dance off is complete, we ask a person from each studio (Director, etc) to come back and pick up any Overall awards! We will announce all the Overall awards on our facebook page as a live broadcast. You and your dancers can watch it online and the person who comes will pick up any awards you receive. This person will also pick up the advanced awards for solos/duos/trios. AUDIENCE Each facility dictates if we are allowed audience and how many. We will keep you updated and the latest allowances. With all the studio blocks, we are going to do some exciting things to make each event special. You'll see when you come! As of now, Thanksgiving Point is going to allow ONE parent per dancer in to watch until we hit a limit of the amount of spectacors who can enter. Again, we will update you on this as we get closer if it changes. MASKS As required by each state and the facility, we will follow all guidelines. As planned now, all dancers, directors, teachers, and audience must wear masks at all times unless dancing on the stage. Once dancers enter stage, they can dance without their masks. Masks will be required once off stage. We will update this as we get closer as each facility dictates. END OF DAY PICK UP Score Sheets can be picked up as soon as your block is done. Dancers should pick up their medals and pins as well when completed. At the conclusion of the event, we will ask a person (director) to return and pick up any overal wards. SCHEDULE Take a look at the schedule in this packet. It's broken up so that each studio has a block of time for ALL of their entries. This ensures that We can dance without having too many people in a large group gathering. We will start with the Intermediate and Advanced Solos/Duos/Trios. Then we will run all teams, then we will finish up with all Novice and Beginning Solos/Duos/Trios. Once the studio is done, all Solo/Duo/Trio awards will be picked up and all team awards will be picked up. Then you can leave. It's actually a compact way of doing events. Then of course, we will watch the awards livestream at the end to see who wins our overall awards! We appreciate that everyone works so hard to make these scheduled times work. It would be great if everyone could dance at the exact time it works best in their schedule. But we simply do our best. If you can make it work, we appreciate it! The domino effect it causes moving things around is very difficult. If you have problems, Email us at [email protected]. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY This year, once again, we are going to need to use THREE days! We will space studios out and with the needed new time for social distancing. We have our soloists in order so they can come, dance and be not have any problems with social distancing. We appreciate everyone who is able to dance in their days and times. Registration Closed! We are as very full of registration and SO excited. It is closed to any more studios registering online. If you need any changes or additions, please Email us at [email protected] and we'll get it all entered. But we need to know right away. An already registered studio can add entries, but we need to know immediately so we can plan for it. Studio Order As we get closer, we will send you your registration and let you decide the order you want your teams, solos, duos and trips to dance. We will send you a suggested order, and we ask you to reply to us with the order you want. We will get it in the program and post it online for all to see. Any additional information, changes, and requirements, we will E-mail out. Contact us with any questions. See you soon. Let's dance!

After 17 days before the event (when the final program is posted online) ANY changes/additions will need to be made at the event, however, we wish you to make all changes and additions/deletions before 17 days prior so we have an accurate program. It really helps us STAY ON SCHEDULE by making all changes before the competition. If you decide to scratch (not dance), please inform registration to assist us in staying on schedule. Feel free to ask any questions by E- mail at [email protected]. No Director's Food Room this year Due to COVID restrictions, we can't have shared food this year.

We look forward to director's food rooms returning in 2022. Schedules and Final Program We have included an updated schedule for you and your students.

    Plop’s Diary Model Text- Super Challenge Monday 18th January Dear Diary, What a day it was! Today, I finally told my parents that I’m AFRAID of the DARK. I said the dark is NASTY! My parents explained me that to be a real owl, I must stay up all night to hunt. This is called being nocturnal. After that, they told me to go and explore the dark. So, I nervously set off with a flip, flop, flap to see a young, sweet boy who was watching fireworks. He told me that dark was EXCITING because you can’t see fireworks unless it is dark. That night, I watched the fireworks with my mum, dad and the young boy. The dark IS exciting but I still don’t like it AT ALL! At midnight, my dad went hunting and I went to bed. I hope I’ll be a REAL barn owl soon. Plop the owl xx Tuesday 19th January Dear Diary, What a lovely night I’ve had but I still feel frustrated that I don’t like the dark! Today, my mum told me to go and explore the dark again so I set off with a flip, flop, flap and landed beside a friendly, little boy. He was sitting by a campfire looking lonely. I asked him if he liked the dark and he said it was FUN because you can make hot cocoa and sit around the campfire singing songs. So, I stayed with him and his friends all night, singing songs by the camp fire.

    Ep #375: Do Hard Things Full Episode Transcript With Your Host Brooke Castillo The Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo Ep #375: Do Hard Things You are listening to The Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo, episode number 375. Welcome to The Life Coach School Podcast, where it’s all about real clients, real problems and real coaching. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brooke Castillo. Hello, my friends. Okay, I might have a little rant. I might have a little talking-to today. You telling me that things are hard doesn’t mean anything. What does it mean that things are hard? It’s an irrelevant thing to say. People say things are hard to me as if that’s a reason not to do them. That is the reason to do them. Hard things are what make us stronger. We can’t get stronger if we don’t do hard things. So, if you come to me and you say, “But it’s so hard...” I don’t know what you mean. It’s like when people say to me, “But it’s so expensive.” Of course, it’s expensive. Of course, I charge a lot for what I do. It’s so valuable. Of course, it’s hard. It’s going to make you into who you want to be. You can’t become who you want to be on easy street. You can’t make things easy and then expect yourself to grow from doing easy things. You don’t want people to go, “Oh, she always takes the easy road.” When you hear someone talk about someone else like that, it’s not impressive, my friends.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • The Nature of Mid-Life Introspection with the Goal of Understanding the Fullness, Or Essence, of the Experience
    Copyright 2014, Lee DeRemer Abstract I explore the nature of mid-life introspection with the goal of understanding the fullness, or essence, of the experience. I use research from interviews with nine people who have had deeply personal, highly intentional mid-life introspection experiences. In these interviews I seek to appreciate the motivation of the individuals, the dynamics of the experience, the role of others, lessons learned, and the impact on interviewees’ approach to questions of meaning and purpose. I also interview the spouses of six of the participants to obtain additional perspective on each introspection experience. I employ a transcendental phenomenological methodology to discover whether any aspects of the mid-life introspection experience are common, regardless of differences in world view, background, gender, occupation, education level, or socioeconomic status. By learning the stories of each of these mid-life introspection experiences, I discover the nature of mid-life introspection and develop the following definition of mid-life introspection: a deeply personal quest for a fresh understanding of one’s identity, purpose, values, goals, and life direction, influenced but not necessarily constrained by one’s life history and present circumstances. This research will enable the reader to conclude, “I understand the nature of mid-life introspection and what to expect from a mid-life introspection experience.” The research also reveals a framework that depicts the mid-life introspection experience graphically and a collection of questions that can guide one’s own mid-life introspection. iii Dedication This paper is dedicated to three people. I am who I am because of them, and I am forever grateful.

  • Katrina Ubell: You Are Listening to the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians Podcast with Katrina Ubell, MD
    Katrina Ubell: You are listening to the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians Podcast with Katrina Ubell, MD. Episode 64. Katrina Ubell: Welcome to Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, the podcast where busy doctors like you get the practical solutions and support you need to permanently lose the weight, so you can feel better and have the life you want. If you're looking to overcome your stress eating and exhaustion and move into freedom around food, you're in the right place. Well, hey, there my friend. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm so excited to bring to you today an interview. I haven't done one in ages. I am super excited to bring you this great information. When I was in Miraval in Arizona a couple months ago, the person that I interviewed was also speaking there. She was so great. I immediately reached out to her and said, "I have to have you on my podcast for sure." I was so glad to be able to have her come on and share some of her great information with all of you. Her name is Aparna Iyer. She is an adjunct assistant professor at UT Southwestern in Dallas. She's a board certified psychiatrist and a psychodynamic psychotherapist. She has sort of developed this special interest in physician mental health and particularly as it relates to loneliness. I thought that this was a perfect topic that would go hand in hand with The Friendship Podcast that I did a little while back. I wanted to make sure to have her come on and really talk about why it's so important to build these connections, have camaraderie with our fellow physicians.

  • Holiness: Why Is It So Hard?
    HOLINESS: WHY IS IT SO HARD? The movie, A League of Their Own, presents a Hollywood version of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during WWII. In one dramatic scene Dottie Hinson, the best player (portrayed by Geena Davis) is torn between playing in their first World Series and returning home to Oregon with her wounded veteran husband. Her priority was family and she recognized that baseball is “only a game.” When challenged by her manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Tom Hanks) she lamented, “It just got too hard.” Dugan retorted: “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.” The “hard” in baseball comes from the unique skill it takes to hit major league pitching or to pitch successfully at the major league level. My friend Walt was a terrific third baseman who played triple-A ball in the Boston Red Sox system. During one spring training, he was brought up to the big team and went into the batter’s box to hit under the watchful eye of his idol, Ted Williams. Afterwards, he approached Ted and asked, “What do you think Mr. Williams?” Ted shook his head and replied, “Slow bat, kid, slow bat.” Walt realized that his dream of playing major league baseball was over. As good as he played the game, Walt simply lacked the extraordinary hand-eye coordination needed to hit major league pitching. So, is the “hard” of holiness similar in that it is the discovery that very few of us are spiritual prodigies like the canonized saints? The answer is a resounding, “NO!” In the first place, there are no spiritual prodigies who have the innate exceptional skills they can develop into major league holiness.

  • Xerox University Microfiims
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
