Theatre artists and acting teachers throughout history have sought to find and create presence. By combining modern sports science with an understanding of systems of actor training I have suggested an approach that makes presence a trainable skill. My coach Dr. Scott Sonnon, developer of the Circular Strength Training System, has refined modern sports science to emphasize the development and maintenance of flow-state. This state allows the athlete to respond openly and freely within a constantly changing situation.By combining my life long study of acting with my eight years of work with Coach Sonnon I am developing a system to teach actors the skill of cultivating flow. This work will enhance the actor's presence and ability to handle the stress of performance while developing a strong, supple, and coordinated psychophysical instrument. Video of examples of the exercises can be found in the accompanying materials.This work was created in Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac.

Due to this objective we used as a theoretical framework for the research, the notion of context evidenced by Douady as consisted by objects in a field of mathematics and its possible relationships and also the context of the change of the idea that a subject can mobilize in the search of the solution of a problem. For the author to translate a problem from a frame to another is specifically intended to enable the deployment of other tools, other than those initially used for solving a problem. We also used the concept of Rogalski´s point of view because it allows us to approach a problem from different points of view within the same framework. Thus, we focused our analysis on views that can be mobilized within the geometry framework in the context of analytic geometry and algebra framework, that is, from the choice of a mathematics framework in which it is studied the geometric transformations we seek to identify the various possible points of view. We still appealed to Duval´s Semiotics Representation Registers which are used to represent geometric transformations and also to the possible transformations of these records as from the treatment and conversion. To the author the knowledge about a mathematical object can be seized from at least two records and that the conversion of records allows to develop the coordination of these various records. These actions will allow the students the understanding of the discovery and the development of the knowledge. The methodology used was based on scientific literature domain documents such as books, articles, dissertations and theses that addressed our object of study. This methodological choice contributed to the achievement of our goal since it allowed us to "look" geometric transformations and present them in a study from the early series with folding to the higher education addressing them in the context of Algebra, Analytical Geometry and Geometry frameworks / Esta pesquisa trata das transformações geométricas com objetivo de apresentar uma concepção ampla desse conteúdo, uma visão de geometria com uma nova organização destas transformações e dar mais significado ao seu estudo. Em função desse objetivo utilizamos como referencial teórico para a pesquisa, a noção de quadro evidenciado por Douady como constituído por objetos de um campo da matemática e de suas possíveis relação e, ainda, da ideia de mudança de quadro que um sujeito pode mobilizar na busca da solução de um problema. Para a autora traduzir um problema de um quadro para outro tem a finalidade específica de permitir a mobilização de outras ferramentas, que não as inicialmente utilizadas para a resolução de um problema. Utilizamos também a noção de ponto de vista de Rogalski pois ela permite que possamos abordar um problema por pontos de vista diferentes em um mesmo quadro. Assim, focamos nossas análises em pontos de vista que podem ser mobilizados no quadro da geometria, no quadro da geometria analítica e no quadro da álgebra, isto é, a partir da escolha de um quadro da Matemática em que se estuda as transformações geométricas buscamos identificar os diversos pontos de vista possíveis. Recorremos ainda aos Registros de Representação Semiótica de Duval que são utilizados para representar as transformações geométricas e ainda para as possíveis transformações desses registros a partir do tratamento e da conversão. Para o autor os conhecimentos a respeito de um objeto matemático podem ser apreendidos a partir de pelo menos dois registros e que a conversão de registros permite desenvolver a coordenação desses diversos registros. Essas ações permitirão ao aluno a compreensão, a descoberta e o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos. A metodologia usada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica baseada em documentos de domínio científico tais como livros, artigos, dissertações e teses que tratavam de nosso objeto de estudo. Essa escolha metodológica contribuiu para o alcance de nosso objetivo uma vez que nos permitiu olhar as transformações geométricas e apresentá-las em um estudo desde as séries iniciais com dobraduras até o ensino superior abordando-as no quadro da Álgebra, no quadro da Geometria Analítica e no quadro da Geometria

The advent of genetically modified (GM) food in New Zealand in 1998 saw the beginning of a highly politicised debate about GM use in the country. The concern over GM and the political situation after the 1999 general election saw the Government establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry on Genetic Modification in May, 2000. The Royal Commission and strong public opposition to GM, evident in large public protests and other actions, made the issue highly newsworthy. The aim of this study was to explore how newspapers reported the GM debate, in particular, examining whether the reportage facilitated greater public debate and awareness about GM through journalists adhering to the ideals of the theory of social responsibility and enacting their watchdog role as encapsulated in the Fourth Estate tradition of the media. To achieve these aims the overall tone of the reportage and also which news source types and themes were most frequently reported were examined. In addition, the relationship and perceptions of scientists and journalists involved in the reporting were explored to examine how these relationships may have influenced the reportage. Content analysis showed the reportage had a pro-GM bias with policy-makers, scientists and industry spokespeople the most frequently cited news sources. The themes of Science, Economics and Politics dominated the reportage. Other source types and themes were less represented, especially themes dealing with ethical and environmental arguments. This lack of representation occurred despite the Royal Commission offering a space for all interested parties to speak. The interviews illustrated that scientists believed the quality of newspaper coverage of GM lacked depth and that important issues were unreported. Journalists found the issue complex to report and said they took care not to oversimplify the science and issues surrounding GM. The relationship between scientists and journalists indicated particular tensions existing between the two groups. The thesis concludes that if robust public debate is to occur within New Zealand regarding GM and other scientific developments, then the media should reflect a greater diversity of opinion by citing other potential news sources offering alternative arguments based on, for example, ethical or environmental grounds.
