#P. Mahler

[xylophonetangerine]

I just spent €17.50 on a student ticket to the symphony orchestra which is not a lot of money even in my situation but still feels a little bad.

[lilyorchardstuff]

You know, I noticed something...

Solid Lily always, and I mean ALWAYS, personally targets:

.Rebecca Sugar - A non-binary, bisexual Jewish woman.

.ND Stevenson - A non-binary, queer, trans man.

.Dana Terrace - A bisexual woman.

.David Gaider - A gay man.

And her favourite media punching bags are Steven Universe, She-Ra, Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil, The Owl House, Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate III (and now, Arcane); works that champion diversity and inclusion, that always put marginalized people (LGBTQ+ people, people of color, ect) at the forefront of their stories. Yet, for a self-proclaimed, progressive leftist who claims to care about representation and stand against bigotry, I NEVER see Lily go after regressive reactionaries like Trey P*rker, M*tt Stone, Fr*nk Miller, J*hn Byrne, Thom*s Mahler, Americ*n McGee, John Carm*ck, Ethan V*n Sciver, the dev team behind H*tred, the dev team behind Post*l and so forth.*

*(Just for the record, I'm not telling anyone to "cancel" these creators. You can still enjoy their work. Plus, "cancel culture" isn't real BTW)

I have a feeling that Lily is either a barely closeted, far-right bigot pretending to be a woke progressive because she sees it as "fashionable" or is suffering from severe internalized misogyny and queerphobia.

Or both.

you mentioned Cizeron having no range and it got me thinking: how important do you think versatility is for a skater to be an all time great? should they be able to do several types of programs well or really excel in one specific style?

i think one of the best things about Tessa and Scott is that they could really do so many types of programs and it showed adaptability (ex: Moulin Rouge and Mahler), which is something i never felt like P/C had

Are you asking for my opinion or how the judges judge? IMO, versatility is a MUST, if you can only do one genre well and can not emote or perform any others, you can not be considered a GOAT. Judges don't seem to think that considering how P/C's career went.

V/M were the most versatile team of all time IMO, there isn't a genre they didn't do, and do well. P/C are one of the least versatile top teams of all times, F/G are also one tricky pony for example.

[sunskate]

Sometimes programs just don’t click. There’s nothing nefarious about it, and I really don’t buy that Marina wasn’t in it with them because their short that year is the best foxtrot ever choreographed on ice and the Carmen she gave them the year before was a masterpiece. Nobody gives that Carmen - designed to reinvent the wheel of a classic and get everyone talking - to a team they weren’t fully invested in or intended to guide limply to second place.

Sometimes things just don’t come together to create a moment and that sucks and it just is what it is. When the bar was set at surpassing Mahler performed at a home Olympics, absolutely everything was going to fall short. Tessa’s big idea was the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack and frankly that has all the same issues Seasons has in being very pretty music with little dynamism and would’ve landed them in the same place in Sochi.

Neither of P/C’s Olympic programs are even in the top 5 programs they ever created. Most teams fail to bring their very best to the Olympics because most teams are in safe mode. I mean, how much Puccini and Pavarotti will we be hearing this season? V/M just got unlucky that their closest competitors did hit on something that inspired them that year and suited their dramatic qualities perfectly.

i agree with you about some things, like that Pride and Prejudice lacks a build or contrasts. but you're overlooking what VM say they felt from Marina, as well as the delay in the timeline for making Seasons. Tessa and Scott aren't complainers or sore losers. if they're willing to say in public that Marina wasn't in their corner, then that means something

if they had shown up in Sochi more united, VM and Marina, but Seasons just wasn't their best, then maybe i'd agree with more of what you're saying

¶ … Counseling Services Benefit People Based on Theories of Human Development The objective of this study is to examine how counseling services benefit people based on theories of human development. The view of counselors is that people grow and develop throughout their entire lifespan. The theory of human development psychology is something that counselors understand and that assists them in effectively establishes relationships with individuals from a diversity of backgrounds. Professional counselors are skilled in assessing individuals and situations and in treatment and diagnosis of mental illness and disorders. As well counselors are skilled in applying cognitive, as well as effective, behavioral and systemic strategies to assist individuals in bringing about change in their lives. Lifespan Development and Health Emphasized It is reported that "from the beginning, counseling scholars and advocates have emphasized lifespan development and health rather than curing, treating and remediating so often emphasized by more traditional mental health professionals." (Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Educational Counseling. 2014, p.1) Counseling professionals seek to make offering of services that are both developmental and preventive "without a focus on diagnoses of dysfunctions of deficits. Rather symptoms of human distress have been viewed as transitions and changes that reflect potentially constructive and adaptive developmental tasks and opportunities." (Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Educational Counseling., 2014, p. 1) II. Major Developmental Theories In the application to counseling and education, it is reported that the major developmental theories "fell into two primary categories of life-phase or lifespan and cognitive-structured development'. (Muro, 2007, p. 4) Included in lifespan theories are those which focus on "psychosocial roles and tasks encountered by individuals that are based in distinct biological and social-cultural periods across the lifespan." ( Muro, 2007, p. 4) Stated ass primary lifespan influences are the following: (1) Freud (1909/1957) -- phases of psychosexual development; (2) Jung (1933/1969) -- psychology of individuation over the lifespan; (3) Erikson's (1963) -- theory of psychosocial development; (4) Bowlby's (1969) attachment theory; and (5) Mahler's (1975) -- patterns of separation and individuation in infants. (Muro, 2007, p. 5) III. Primary Cognitive-Structural Influences It is reported that the primary cognitive-structural influences are inclusive of: (1) Piaget's (1932) -- theory of cognitive development; (2) Kohlberg's (1968/1982) -- theory of moral development; (3) Perry's (1970) -- theory of ethical and intellectual development; (4) Loevinger's (1976) -- theory of ego development; and (5) Kogan's (1982) -- theory of the evolution of self. (Muro, 2007, p. 5) III. Four Specific Development Theories Cognitive Development Theory Cognitive Development Theory was first posited by Jean Piaget and is a theory comprised by three basic components including: (1) Schemas, or building blocks of knowledge; (2) adaptation processes that help the individual in their transitioning between stages; and (3) stages of development that include: (a) sensorimotor; (b) preoperational; (3) concrete operational; and (4) formal operational. (McLeod, 2009, p. 1) Piaget defined a schema as "a cohesive, repeatable action sequence possessing component actions that are tightly interconnected and governed by a core meaning." (McLeod, 2009, p. 1) the schema was called Piaget to be "the basic building blocks of intelligence, behavior -- a way of organizing knowledge." (McLeod, 2009, p. 1) Learning Theory A learning theory is described as "an attempt to describe how people and animals learn, thereby helping us understand the inherently complex process of learning." (Princeton University, 2014, p. 1) There are two primary values to learning theories: (1) the first is in the provision of '"vocabulary and a conceptual framework for interpreting the examples of learning that we observe. The other is in suggesting where to look for solutions to practical problems." (Princeton University, 2014, p. 1) Social Role Theory It is reported that social role theory "recognizes the historical division in labor between women, who often assumed responsibilities at home, and men, who often assumed responsibilities outside the home." (Psychopedia, 2014, p. 1) Resulting from the "concomitant sex differences in social behavior, the expectancies of men and women began to diverge." (Psychopedia, 2014, p. 1) It is reported that these expectations are passed on to future generations and in turn affect the social behavior of each gender. (Psychopedia, 2014, p. 1) Psychosocial Theory Psychosocial theory is reported to combine internal psychological factors and social factors that are external with each stage building on the others and focusing on a challenge that needs to be resolved during that specific stage so that the individual can move on to the next stage of development. (http://www3.niu.edu/acad/fcns280/THEORY/sld008.htm) VI. Benefits of Counseling and Development Theories The benefits of counseling related to theories of human development include assisting individuals in understanding how they got to where they are today and assist them in understanding how they can personally make changes or adjustments in their own life to achieve their personal life goals. It is reported that "According to develop mentalists, relationships among cognitions, emotions, and behaviors are interdependent and rooted in transactions with the environment (Blocher, 1980); therefore, while all humans possess inherent natures and abilities to mature, certain conditions must be present to facilitate the meeting of developmental needs and the mastering of developmental tasks. Tasks and concerns encountered at specific stages are understood to be hindered, blocked, or resolved depending upon the presence or absence of environmental conditions and responses." (Muro, 2007, p. 7) Develop mentalist hold that "relationships among cognitions, emotions, and behaviors are interdependent and rooted in transactions with the environment; therefore, while all humans possess inherent natures and abilities to mature, certain conditions must be present to facilitate the meeting of developmental needs and the mastering of developmental tasks. Tasks and concerns encountered at specific stages are understood to be hindered, blocked, or resolved depending upon the presence or absence of environmental conditions and responses." (Muro, 2007, p. 8) It is additionally reported that when Blocher (1988) "credited constructivist, cognitive-structural scholarship as the most influential to elaborating understandings of human development and change. Cognitive-structural studies affirmed the individual's information-processing tendency, reflecting intrinsic motivations to establish order, predictability and control in one's environment as well as to construct personal meaning. Cognitive dissonance was explained as part of this progression." (Muro, 2007, p. 8) Cognitive dissonance is reported to result in a "state of tension, discomfort, and imbalance. This motivates the individual to seek resolution, consistency, or cognitive consonance in an effort to construct meaning and order reality." (Muro, 2007, pl. 8) Achieving goals of meaning and goals or order requires that the individual find resolution to the conflict that arises when there expectations are not confirmed by their experiences. This struggle is reported to support the transition or what is referred to as assimilation. The process of assimilation is reported to involve change that is quantitative as information is added to the already existing structures of cognition. Muro (2007) reports that the process of accommodation is reflective of "a qualitative change as one modifies existing schemata and develops new cognitive structures in order to assimilate new information. The transition is an important one that can take time, especially when the development of new cognitive structures is involved." (p. 9) As the person transitions into "more complex, advanced differentiated and integrated cognitive organization" it is reported that resulting is a "paradi9gm shift and development." (Muro, 2007, p. 10) Summary and Conclusion It is clear that the application of the theories of human development are such that when utilized by professional counselors works to benefit the individual in overcoming their own personal problems and to set and achieve goals through making the necessary adjustments and changes that are needed in their life.

The increasing need for effective training does not remain restricted to a particular type of industry or a certain size of the organization. It might appear to be an obvious essential for a large organization which uses the latest of technologies, but it can also be an absolute necessity in the smaller and traditional organizations. This is because of the fact that in a large organization, a single untrained employee might not have significant impact on the overall result, however in a small organization of four members, one single employee would account for 25% of the workforce (McConnell, 2003, p.1). The rapid economic changes, globalization and advancement of technology have generated various types of training needs in organizations. However, it has been increasingly realized that effective training can only be possible through accurate analysis of the training needs and requirements. Conducting training needs assessment is particularly important for protecting the assets of the organization and also assuring that resources are set aside for addressing the training issues and reserved and used for that particular purpose only (Barbazette, 2006, p.6). The paper tries to present a critical analysis of the aspect of training needs assessments in organizations by presenting the various arguments of authors for or against the topic. The arguments would primarily aim at determining whether training is the appropriate solution for a performance deficiency. If increasing the employee’s skills and knowledge does not help to resolve a crisis then training would not prove to be helpful. This calls for the need for assessing the training needs and requirements in order to ensure that the resources are put to appropriate use and are not wasted. The paper would also present the suggestions for removing possibilities of training deficiencies in organizations. Review of the Literature Training theorists and academicians have realized the analysis of training needs as a function which is integral to the training programs in organizations. In order to utilize the resources effectively it is crucial to determine the exact location, scope and magnitude of the needs for training. The researchers have put forth the fact that there is no justification for investing in the training programs if they do not result in improving or enhancing the efficiency of the workforce (Moore & Dutton, 1978). Training needs analysis is considered to be the first step in the cyclical process contributing to the overall educational and training strategy of the staff in organizations. The process begins with the systematic consultation for identifying the learning needs of the staff followed by the program planning, delivery and evaluation. Research conducted on micro level and macro level training needs revealed that despite their small scale and limited scope training needs initiatives at the micro level demonstrated more methodological vigour and laid greater emphasis on the perspectives of shareholders in order to generate such findings which would be able to influence the remaining part of the training cycle positively (Gould, Kelly & White & Chidgey, 2003). In 1952, Mahler and Monroe made a study of the determination of the needs for training in the industry and showed that most of the methods of analysing training needs were informal. Only about one out of every ten companies reported to be using systematic approaches for determining the training needs. Observations, management requests, and discussion with superiors were among the most commonly used techniques for determining the needs. Wood, (1939) noted that that questionnaire could be considered as an effective way of determining training needs but was of the conclusion that there was very little evidence which showed application of the research methods for need determination. A BNA survey conducted in 1962 showed that 41% of the organizations only used analysis of performance in the job and observation for determining their needs for training. However, according to the report in 1969, the use of these methods were found be done in more systematic manner. This demonstrated a gradual movement of firms towards more scientific and formalized techniques of operations (Moore-a & Dutton, 1978). At the organizational level the need for training needs assessment is greatly increased as the concept of organizational development has gained acceptance recently. Read the full article

El director italiano Giacomo Sagripanti (Giulianova, Abruzzo, 1982) dirigirá jueves y viernes en el Teatro de la Maestranza, donde tiene lugar esta entrevista, el programa Gran Sinfónico 3 de la ROSS, que, dentro del ciclo Andalucía Sinfónica, la orquesta sevillana llevará también el domingo al Villamarta de Jerez. Sagripanti vino por primera vez a Sevilla en febrero de 2014 para dirigir una Cenerentola de Rossini y un concierto sinfónico y regresó con la ROSS en noviembre de 2015.

Pregunta.–¿Qué recuerdos tiene de aquellos conciertos?

Respuesta.–Vine para hacer Cenerentola, pero el director que estaba previsto para el concierto sinfónico aquella semana tuvo una baja y, como era un programa italiano, me lo pidieron a mí. Lo recuerdo muy bien. Fue muy interesante, pero ahora es mejor porque tenemos tres días de ensayos en el mismo escenario del concierto y eso es un lujo.

P.–¿Cómo ha encontrado a la orquesta?

R.–Más joven. De repente se ha convertido en una orquesta de jóvenes. Eso es normal, porque en diez años se producen muchos cambios. Muchos de los que quedan me recordaban y vinieron a saludarme al camerino. Creo también que ahora es mejor orquesta. Lo aprecié desde la primera lectura. Fueron muy profesionales, muy atentos a todos los detalles y muy disciplinados. Pienso que han aprovechado estos diez años para mejorar.

P.–Viene de hacer un Nabucco en Toulouse y mirando su agenda le siguen Rondine, Don Pasquale, Turco in Italia, Traviata, Trovatore, Barbero... ¿Se considera básicamente director de ópera?

R.–Intento hacer cinco o seis programas cada año en sinfónico. El mes próximo debuto en la Philharmonie de París con la Orquesta de Cámara de París y la 7ª de Beethoven. Una muy buena orquesta con un programa muy interesante. Es cierto que he ganado mi fama haciendo ópera, y la ópera me permite trabajar en todos los grandes teatros del mundo, Viena, Londres, París, Madrid, este año también Nueva York. Pero intento siempre hacer programas sinfónicos con orquestas buenas. No he trabajado todavía con la Filarmónica de Berlín o la de Viena, pero puede ser que eso llegue algún día. Lo que me interesa es no parar con el sinfónico y hacer mucho repertorio, que es muy importante.

P.–¿Cuál es para un director la principal diferencia entre ambos repertorios, la ópera y el sinfónico?

R.–Hay enormes diferencias. En el estudio y en la técnica. El trabajo del director de ópera italiana es técnicamente el trabajo más virtuoso, el más difícil. Porque es un trabajo puramente técnico: en escena pueden pasar mil cosas y mantener la coordinación es esencial. El trabajo del sinfónico no tiene los problemas que tiene un teatro, el foso, la distancia, el coro, los solistas, la escena, pero tienes otras cosas que son detalles de trabajo musical. Es más fácil ir todos juntos con el sinfónico, porque hay solo una plantilla, pero es mucho más difícil buscar sonidos, atmósferas, los matices, es una cocina más refinada, si quiere. Para un director de ópera es importante hacer sinfónico, porque en el foso puedes utilizar este refinamiento del sonido que debes tener en el sinfónico. Es algo que te sirve para destacar detalles en una obra de Verdi, por ejemplo, en la ópera francesa o en Puccini, que es un compositor muy sinfónico, por no hablar de Wagner. Uno puede empezar haciendo ópera de joven y con el tiempo ir metiéndose en el sinfónico. Al revés es mucho más difícil, por esa cuestión técnica que le decía, porque tienes que acostumbrarte a muchísimas más cosas. Yo empecé con la ópera belcantista, pero siempre haciendo sinfónicos. Por supuesto que en ese terreno también hay obras de gran dificultad técnica –pienso en Stravinski, por ejemplo–, pero lo puedes preparar: el 99% de lo que ensayas sale en el concierto. En la ópera es imprevisible. Un día un cantante no tiene la voz como el día anterior y tienes que cambiar el tempo, las dinámicas..., y de todo eso tienes que darte cuenta sobre la marcha, en el foso, comprender la situación al instante y hacerlo.

"El trabajo del director de ópera italiana es técnicamente el trabajo más virtuoso, el más difícil. Porque es un trabajo puramente técnico: en escena pueden pasar mil cosas y mantener la coordinación es esencial"

P.–¿No lo han vuelto a llamar del Maestranza para una ópera?

R.–Muchas veces, pero no he podido por problemas de agenda. Este año me propusieron Turandot, y en este caso me lo impidió un problema familiar. Buscamos un proyecto más corto y salió este concierto, que me interesa muchísimo.

P.–Una obra no muy difundida en nuestro entorno, la Sinfonía de Réquiem de Britten, y una muy popular, la 4ª de Mahler...

R.–Me interesó mucho la propuesta. Primero, porque la obra de Britten no la había dirigido nunca. Segundo, porque temáticamente es muy interesante: todo el programa se modula en torno a la muerte. La obra de Britten es un Réquiem sin palabras. Cada uno de los tres movimientos lleva el título de un número de la misa de difuntos: Lacrymosa, Dies Irae, Requiem Aeternam. Eso parece significar que quiso dar una dirección muy clara a cada movimiento, y en este sentido es una obra si quiere expresionista, pero en la interpretación los dilemas son puramente musicales: mucho contrapunto, una orquestación muy interesante, muy del siglo XX. Todo se basa en la construcción del sonido. Mahler es otra cosa. La 4ª es la última de sus sinfonías Wunderhorn. Y la plantea como un viaje a la muerte, pero desde el punto de vista infantil. Toma el texto del poema y a la vez este concepto de muerte muy alemán y muy eslavo, porque la muerte en este mundo es una parte de la vida. Hay que aceptar la muerte con una sonrisa, como lo puede hacer un niño. Y esa es una idea muy mahleriana. Para nosotros los latinos tiene algo de macabro. Pero en la cultura alemana es normal: ver la muerte con los ojos de un niño y hacer bromas con la muerte. El primer movimiento de la sinfonía es una descripción muy infantil del mundo terrenal, de lo que pasa en la vida. Pero llega entonces una llamada de las trompas, que es la llamada de Dios, y empieza también a jugar con el fídel, el instrumento del diablo [Mahler lo representa con el primer violín en scordatura, un tono más alto]. Es el segundo movimiento, una danza de la muerte, otra figura típica de la cultura alemana, que Berlioz y Liszt también utilizaron. El tercer movimiento es el más mahleriano, el más profundo, el que expresa el sufrimiento por la muerte. Y en el cuarto se abre la puerta del paraíso para mostrar todo este mundo infantil, de una gran dulzura, hasta el punto de que todo termina como en un sueño. Estás vivo, y esa es la magia de la obra, que cierra todo un mundo en Mahler.

P.–Cuando estuvo en Sevilla en 2014, la ROSS buscaba director y su nombre estuvo entre los candidatos. Ahora curiosamente la orquesta vuelve a buscar director, ¿lo han sondeado?

R.–No lo sabía. Me enteré al llegar. Yo no tengo de momento una orquesta y considerar una orquesta sinfónica del nivel de la ROSS es seguramente un placer. Creo que estas cosas dependen de muchos factores... He tenido algunos puestos de responsabilidad en teatros y orquestas, pero creo que son cosas que no pueden forzarse, tienen que salir de forma muy natural...

P. –¿Lo consideraría si se lo propusieran?

R.–Claro que sí, porque Sevilla es una ciudad que adoro, tengo muchísimos recuerdos extraordinarios de aquí. Y la orquesta tiene ahora mucho mejor nivel que hace diez años. Para mí como director italiano ser titular de una orquesta como esta sería un placer. Además hago ópera en los mejores teatros del mundo. Me consta que ha habido problemas de coordinación entre la ópera y los conciertos sinfónicos en este teatro. Y creo que sería la primera vez que en la ROSS puede haber un director artístico que también puede hacer ópera al máximo nivel. Sería una opción muy interesante, pero ya le digo que tiene que ser algo que surja de forma natural. Mi relación con los músicos de la orquesta está siendo muy buena, soy feliz por estar aquí y si en la orquesta también están contentos conmigo... Ya veremos lo que pasa.

I understand the veto. The Pride and Prejudice soundtrack is full of beautiful music, but it’s also lacking dynamics. And Tessa and Scott by the time of Carmen were as forceful and dynamic a team of skaters as you can find. They’d moved past their Valse Triste/Umbrellas/Mahler softness. I think playing Lizzie and Darcy would’ve felt a bit like a step back no matter how gorgeous it could’ve been.

Wuthering Heights, on the other hand…

I wanted them to interpret Heathcliff and Cathy for *years*. Years! I loved the program Piper and Paul put together, but the interpretation was a bit high school drama club.

it's true it's very gentle throughout. if they had wanted to do a P&P program they could have done what CPom did with Perfume and used other pieces to augment it? i kinda disagree about them moving past softness. Latch is so very soft. it's just a more mature softness. Mahler 5 is deceptive - holding the energy and sustaining the build of that slow but very deep music takes so much control and strength. the magic in that performance is that they held the tension that's in the music throughout. to appear soft while doing that is a feat of both performance and choreography

Wuthering Heights worked so well for Piper and Paul, and while VM could definitely have skated it, i get if they weren't drawn to play those characters for a whole season. Carmen as a character might be toxic, but the music and drama is fiery and direct and sexy. where Catherine and Heathcliff feel kind of poisonous and not very pleasant as people. and it's a story of childhood friends with an unusual and intense connection who end very badly
