Arja Dance – Balinese Theatrical Performance
Arja Dance is a kind of Balinese theatrical performance, further development of Gambuh, the oldest theatrical performance in Bali. The word "arja" is derived from the word "reja" means "beauty". The birth of Arja can be traced back to the year around 1175-1825 in the reign of Dewa Agung Sakti, the king of Klungkung.
Arja Dance is one of the most technically difficult dance-drama of Bali, since the dancers must sing and dance at the same time. This characteristic is similar to opera performance in western countries. The language that is used in Arja performance is a mixing of Kawi (ancient language of Javanese and Balinese). The royal characters sing and talk in a high partly in kawi, partly in high Balinese, and are paraphrased by their servants or ministers into common Balinese that is much more easily understood by the audience.
At first, the traditional Arja performance is accompanied by specific musical instrument called Geguntangan, (while "geguntangan" means "gamelan which uses guntang". Guntang is a kind of bamboo harp whose strings are made of the outer skin of the bamboo which are cut into long and thin pieces and stretches like strings. Geguntangan Arja music uses two sizes of guntang: large and small) but recent development shows an inclination to use Gamelan Gong as accompanying music instead of geguntangan.
The plots of Arja are drawn from a wide range of literary sources, the Mahabharata, Love stories drawn from the classics of the ancient kingdoms of Java, Chinese tales of passion and other sources. There is no strict gender distinction in Arja performance. Women often play the leading men, especially refined types. Men play some of the coarser female roles.
The Arja enjoyed it golden era in 1930s. At that time, an Arja performance was great social event in the village. Audiences came from miles away; the show began at midnight and last until dawn. For a time during the 1970s and 1980s, Arja lost out in popularity to Drama Gong. By about 1990, however Arja, which retained a certain classic integrity, had come back into vogue. At the beginning of 21st century, Arja experienced a short grand revival by the appearance of Arja Muani (an Arja group that all the performers are men even for female characters). This revival due to significant changing in traditional form of Arja. The new Arja uses only 5 to 7 characters (the traditional arja uses more than 10 characters), the duration is cut from 5 or 6 hours into 2 or 3 hours, and the new Arja gives more emphasis on the joke than the story.
This revival did not last long. At the end of 2005, Arja sank into oblivion. Nowadays an Arja performance is a rare event, only once in 5 or 6 months.

I went to this school for 2 years, they have these thin walls you can hear everything that other classes are saying and they don't really help you what so ever with educational help or to understand something . The rugs are taped together. There were so many fights every day. Teachers are rude. Kids distract classes so you CAN'T focas on what they're teaching. This school is incredibly boring.
I love this school, most teachers are nice and really care. They make learning interesting. My favorite teacher ever was Mrs.Gilpin. (6th grade social studies). Theres only a few problems. 1- the carpets. they are so old and are ductaped together in some places. 2- The walls and ceilings. The walls arent very stable, because when the school was built there were no inside walls and they were added later. The ceilings leak when it rains. And lastly, the busses. They are WAY overcrouded, late ALL the time, and atleast one bus breaks down every month. But I'd say for the most part at Gauger, the good outweighs the bad. With everything I said about the problems there, it might seem like a not-so-good school. But really, its a pretty good school. . dont think Gauger is a bad school because of what I said. There is no perfect public middle school. Gauger is about as close as it gets. (: I love this school. They do so much to prevent bullying, so much. And almost always, it works. But, like I said, nothings perfect. Theres nothing more they could do to prevent bullying. The education is really good too (: Right now i'm doing 7th grade work in 6 grade. (: Ok, im out of room now. Byeee :) :)
This school does not care about my childs education as much as they should! Being an educator in a school system there number one priority should be TEACHING!! what happened to our mentors!! I been struggling with teachers in this school for 2 years.. seems to me they are just there to collect a paycheck. :(
This school is horrible. My son has been bullied, pantsed and tormented from the very first day he stepped foot on campus. The principal says she's committed to education but she delegates the discipline to her associates and doesnt seem to comprehend that a child that is in a negative environment can't learn.
The Principal and classroom staff keep me abreast of what is going on with my student on a consistent basis
Gauger was an ok school. My daughter just finished 8th grade at this school and I will say that the teachers did a good job. Denae didnt want to leave the school in June. I think the school have alot to offer if they can just put more effort in providing it.
this school is real good and fun. i am going into the 7th grade and i love it. I acttulay cant wait to go back. if u like sports they have a basketball team soccer team.If you like arts and music its good to.The teachers are nice.But it has no windows so with the ac it can get cold
I am a freshmen at Glasgow High school but Gauger was like the best. The nickname of our school is 'The Jail' because of no windows! Teachers were really nice
This school is the best out of all three schools I've been to in the christina school district. (Brader and Bancroft) Suprisingly, you don't get teased much at Gauger, which is suprising because it is a junior high where snobby kids from other schools come from. The teachers are all awesome except for Mrs.Heller and Mrs.Bryant beacuse they scream at you for no reason. I really liked the idea of putting 6th grade on there so i could be with my older friends. The only probelem about this school is the bbuses. They're late, they break down, they're crowded, etc... I would never want to change schools! I gaurentee you'll have a great time at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School!
i love this school and i wouln't want to go to any other. all the teachers are great and they teach you great values.
It's fun its all good and its safe. I would recomend sending ur kid here . Its really great there . Im in 7th and love it.
I love Gauger-Cobbs Middle School, because my son used to be miserable at his old school. After sending him here, he is so much happier that drives and motivates to get up every morning to come to school. The staffs at Gauger-Cobbs are excellently, and wonderful.
it is the best. it fun,silly,smart,helpful and it is a great school.
Gauger-Cobbs Middle School is a GREAT school to attend. It's a great place to learn and make friends.The teachers are even like friends. Not many kids can joke around with their teachers. I'm in 8th grade at Gauger and I don't want to leave! The highschools seem so horrible. I don't even want to think about it. At Gauger I feel safe. Everything about Gauger is so incredible. Everything is outstanding. (including school lunches!) If you're nervous about going to middle school-don't be. Gauger is the place to be.
I am also a student, and as stated before, it is the best school I have encountered so far. The teachers make creative ways to approach different problems, teach the students to be more independant, and have much more personality than those other faceless, boring teachers. Every teacher is experienced, being a teacher for over ten years, but even the newish teachers, such as Mr. Frampton, Oberly, and Naylor have better methods than most of the veteran teachers I've seen at other schools. The teachers don't just tell you the things you want to hear, they tell you the hard truth, making suggestions how to fix a certain problems, instead of just saying 'do better'. There are many great points to this school, but I'm close to running out of space. Gauger is a great school, and anyone who says different must have only spent a small time there. Frank S.
Not only do I know youth at this school, but I also mentor here. Gauger is one of the best schools I have ever mentored or substituted for. The leadership proovides excellent dedication to the students and the teachers do an awesome job of supporting the youth in every way to help obtain passing grades. Add this to the activities, curriculum, and staff and you have exactly what Gauger is...a winning school.
This school is lousy! We've had nothing but trouble in the 3 years our children have been there. There is no focus or organization from the leadership. They are more concerned about children behaving than children learning. The teachers are just babysitters collecting paychecks. During our parent teacher conferences one third of the teachers didn't even show up! To be fair a portion of the blame is to fall on draconian forced busing laws. The only redeeming thing about this former womans prison is the music program, it's probably the best in the county. I know of no other parent that feels any different about this school.
I think that Gauger Cobbs midlle school is the greatest school I've ever been to. The teachers are very nice and encourage us to be the best at what we do
Im not a parent actually I'm a student. Gauger is by far the best school I have been to yet.(even though im only in 7th grade) Gauger is fun but yet challenging. Gauger also has a variety of sports and after school activities. The staff members are caring and nice and they love to listen and teach. Im a straight A student and even though I Ace everything in a breeze gauger has even more things I can do to challenge myself (honor society, Excel etc.) A student will definantley feel at home here at gauger cobbs middle school! Michelle
This school is horrible in every way. There is no academic focus,no real learning,no discipline, no windows for god's sake. How can somewhere like that be called a school. Some of the teachers are pretty good, but most are too worried about yelling and not worried about teaching. The test scores are horrible even though about a fourth of what you learn there is supposed to be how to do good on the tests.

Zimmer charged Sunday night following loss to Colts. Terry McCormick
In what has been a lost year for the Kansas City Chiefs, one more thing went wrong Sunday night.
Assistant coach Adam Zimmer was charged with driving under the influence following the 2-13 Chiefs' loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Zimmer, the son of Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, was involved in a single-vehicle crash around 9 p.m., according to the Kansas City Star.
The Chiefs have already dealt with the murder-suicide of linebacker Jovan Belcher a few weeks ago, not to mention having the worst record in the league, in what has to rank as perhaps the lowest point in the franchise's history.

"4,700 Asteroids threaten Earth"–NASA
(Newser)–NASA thinks it's got a pretty solid estimate on the number of gigantic asteroids that could plausibly cause regional or global catastrophe by smashing into Earth: 4,700, give or take 1,500. Included in that number are all the rocks that exist, or which they suspect exist, that are larger than 330 feet across, and have orbits that pass within 5 million miles of Earth, Space.comreports. Only about 30% of these asteroids have actually been found. NASA is basing its data on its Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, which is an infrared space telescope. Though the total number is similar to past estimates, the survey found that twice as many asteroids as previously thought are in "low-inclination orbits," meaning their paths are similar to Earth's. "Our team was surprised," one NASA researcher said, but on the bright side, they "provide the best opportunities for the next generation of human and robotic exploration."
Hey NASA, you think there are 4700 asteroids that could obliterate Earth? And you've only found 30% of them!?!?!? How about you get off your asses and find the rest of them and go blow them up or something. I seriously can't handle an asteroid right now. I mean this is just my luck. Things are finally starting to break my way; the blog is getting more popular and more importantly I just figured out how to hide my double chin. I haven't even really lived yet. This is so unfair. I also can't help but feel a little betrayed by space and science. I put out all kinds of hot fire universe blogs. Just getting people excited and loving science and shit. Making you nerds seem cool to us regular folk, only to get stabbed in the back with a giant asteroid. So NASA, either get this asteroid shit under control or you and I are through. I don't care if you make an Aurora borealis time-lapse video narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson with Justin Bieber playing in the background…I won't post it. Won't even look at it. You've been warned nerds.

Riiiiighhht. So basically what I am gathering from this is that the Milky Way is the smelly guy in the Universe. All the other galaxies can't get away from us fast enough. Just running away as fast as possible. So…if we are going to discover planets that are cool as shit like in Avatar we need to do it now because they are only getting further away. So…lets effing go NASA. Get off of your lazy asses. You haven't landed anywhere cool since like 1969. I need a planet with floating islands in the sky, forests that light up, and flying dragon/dinosaur horse things and I needed them yesterday.
PS: So…if space is expanding away from us in every direction…are we the center of the Universe? Probably. Figured that one out. That's ground breaking shit. You can send me my Nobel Prize in the mail.

NASA: We've Identified most of the killer astroids out there
(Newser)–You can sleep easy tonight. Or easy-ish. NASA today announced that it has identified more than 90% of the giant asteroids out there that could threaten Earth (think dinosaur-killing size). "We know now where most of them are and where most of them are going. That really has reduced our risk" of an impact, says a NASA scientist. And as for mid-sized asteroids—those capable of demolishing a metropolitan city—NASA has reduced its estimate of the number in existence by 44%. But it hasn't tracked many of them down yet. "Fewer does not mean none. There are still tens of thousands out there that are left to find." NASA's updated data comes compliments of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, which launched in 2009 to seek out near-Earth objects. For the largest asteroids—bigger than 3,300 feet across—NASA said 911 of the 981 thought to exist have been found, and none are poised to threaten the planet in the near future. As for the mid-size ones, it believes about 19,500 asteroids between 330 and 3,300 feet wide exist, reports the AP. About 5,200 of those have been IDed. WISE is not equipped to detect the more than a million smallest asteroids that could cause damage if they impact Earth.
Umm….WTF!?!?!? There are like 25,000 asteroids that could destroy the shit out of Earth in 'the near future' !?!?! Thanks for finding them science, now get off your ass and do something about it. Maybe these NASA nerds don't realize it because they never saw Armageddon, but asteroids are about the scariest thing in Space. One asteroid pointed towards Earth is too many, but NASA is claiming that there are at least 25,000. So they need to start fighting back. Just start launching nukes at these bastards. Send a message that Earth isn't going anywhere.

Monica S Mcfeeters's curator insight, April 30, 2013 12:37 AM
Interesting collection of links to artilcles which support this "Bad Karma" point of veiw. I need to read over it a bit more and maybe rewrite this insight, but at first read this sort of presents the idea that these in entities, Bain, Clear Channel and right wing extremist radio are consuming each other.
Laser Haas's comment, May 2, 2013 8:29 AM
There's a big story here that is being missed. Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital are involved in Racketeering; which also includes their very own "arranged" corrupt federal prosecutor Colm F Connolly. (Whose DOJ Office of Legal Policy Resume paints a "Retroactive Romney" picture extraordinary. http://www.justice.gov/archive/olp/colmconnollyresume.htm
Laser Haas's comment, May 2, 2013 8:36 AM
By the way, if we could get a proper federal investigation into the massive crime spree (and I'm getting real close to having such transpire) - then we should see a RICO seizure of Clear Channel and hopefully a "break up" of those 800 stations being monopolized by an extremist (biased) POV.
Laser Haas's curator insight, May 2, 2013 9:06 AM
Mr. Nocera and I - have not conversed. Many attempts to speak with him have been in vain. He is so close to the BIG story of all time and he doesn't even know it.
Laser Haas's comment, August 12, 2013 9:25 AM
A few weeks after this story was published, Bain Capital's Toys R Us "Cancelled" their I.P.O.! And, in May 2013, the N.Y. Supreme Court heard the Re-opened case of eToys (ebc1) v Goldman Sachs (Opinion forthcoming).
Laser Haas's curator insight, May 2, 2013 9:02 AM
The conundrum is to get results where tyranny, cronyism and corruption don't wish for any review to transpire.

Is a $15 minimum wage good for Seattle and Washington State?
There are a couple of different views on this issue. Here at KTTH, we are decidedly against it. But that does not mean we're unwilling to listen to other opinions.
As part of our mission to further conservative ideas and ideals while respecting opposing voices, we will host a KTTH minimum wage debate on that $15 question on April 9.
KTTH host David Boze will moderate the debate between host Ben Shapiro and Socialist Seattle City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant. Washington Policy Center Vice President Paul Guppy and National Employment Law Project Deputy Director Rebecca Smith will also be on the panel.
Sawant says that raising the minimum wage will lift people out of poverty, help more people afford living in Seattle, and that large companies that operate in Seattle can easily afford the raise. Sawant claims that 100,000 workers in Seattle would benefit from the raise.
"Studies show that lifting the wage floor has positive impact on all workers' standards of living, and on the overall economy," Sawant has said.
On the KTTH side, we think raising minimum wage will inflate prices (especially on things that the poor buy the most) it will kill jobs, and that salaried individuals will have to take on more work.
Commenting on the February Congressional Budget Office report showing that 500,000 jobs would disappear if the federal minimum wage were increased to just $10.10 per hour, KTTH host David Boze said, "It's easy to promise other people's money and pretend there's no cost to that."
"If you give a bunch of money to a bunch of people who earn minimum wage for doing jobs that are not that valuable, you have to take that money from somewhere," Shapiro has said. "The attempt to shift money from people who make it in ways that help millions of Americans to people who help a few people by flipping hamburgers, it's a detrimental effort.
"All the products poor people can afford to buy are going to be impacted by inflation. The hamburger is precisely the product that's going to increase. It's low end products."
Our hope is that the KTTH minimum wage debate will illuminate this topic for our listeners, and perhaps cause Sawant and those in favor of the wage hike to see a different view.
Interested? The debate happens April 9 at McCaw Hall at the Seattle Center and costs just $7.70 –less than the minimum wage in most states, including Washington.

Can you be a big boss if you are not greedy? Can you move to higher positions if you spend you time giving to others? Isn't it better to take as much as possible? And to grab every opportunity you have to get promoted? Why would you help others if you don't get back more or at least equal?
This book argues with conventional view on how people succeed.
The book splits people into three categories: Takers, Matchers, and Givers. It could be that most of people are Matchers. We always try to pay it back. Entire world is build on that - you pay people. There are people who would smash you into the crap if you stand on their way. It is commonly accepted that these people get what they want. There is type of people who help others without second thoughts.
Adam Grant, the author, says that takers get to high positions quickly, but only givers stay there for long. Though it could happen that givers got trapped and become doormats or pushovers, the book brings some tips on this.
One of the reasons I liked the book is that it provides a lot of research information. Book is not written out of thin air it bombards with facts to support ideas. Studies and research results provided in the book are thought-provoking. Just reading them is very interesting and sometimes even exciting.
For example if you were to ask wife and husband to give a percentage of their contribution to their marriage life. Ideally it should sum up to 100% and be 50%/50%, but turns out everyone thinks that they contribute more so you get something close to 130%.
Or did you know that your name could easily affect your choices in life? People with name Dennis are more likely to be Dentist. At least this is something author brings as the fact. On the other hand I just googled why this might be not truth.
There are many more of similar studies and facts about successful people in the book. I enjoyed reading them.
Some are questioning if book is truly bringing new approach to success or it is just useless junk. I found this interesting question posted by Iryna:
Hi Adam,
While reading a book, I decided to conduct a research. I interviewed my friends and co-workers and asked them to pick four values and arrange them from most to less important. I used values from the list presented in Schwartz study.
I found out that all the men picked values from taker list. Wealth, power, pleasure and winning. The majority of women picked helpfulness, responsibility, social justice and compassion. So, according to my research, women tend to be more giving then men. (Was not surprised of course by this result). However, as you know the majority of executive positions are still occupied by men. The question is, does "take and give" approach work when it comes to gender? Or man who is a taker will always be a step ahead of a giving woman?
It is very legitimate question. I also think that book brings some controversy thoughts. Splitting people just by givers and takers didn't seem good enough to picture successful person, since many givers were and are not successful. Frequently because they were doormats/pushovers, burned out or just went unnoticed. I'm wondering if we could maybe come up with idea of successful person that also shares similar properties of giver, but also has what's best from taker.
Let me try: I think the way to succeed is to give people something that they need and value more than it actually costs for you. Even though I used word "give" and it probably sounded like takers motto. But why would that taker be bad? He is just smart, and besides he is helping others by giving them what they want. Isn't he? I think that supporting other people is very wise, since they will watch your back. Building solid social network is important and you indeed can only build it by sincerely helping. Giving credit and prising people is also very important and a must.
Important is to know what others need and what it is you can give them back.
I honestly love to give and help, but what I love even more is to get. When I was reading the book I though that I mostly fall into matchers/takers group and was a bit ashamed (since they are bad, right?). But I just took assessment on the website of the book: http://www.giveandtake.com/Home/ChooseAssessment
Here are my results:
Doesn't look that bad, does it? What are your results?
Pay it forward is exactly what this book advocates for. This is what my former scrum master did when she gave me this book and one more book. I'm really thankful her for this. I should be paying forward as well.
Dear readers this blog post is my payment to you. I don't know you – I just share thoughts with you, but sometimes this might help me. It did in the past, since blogging pays off.
Do I recommend to read this book? YES! Definitely. It worth reading even if in the end you will find yourself not agreeing with some conclusions.
