When Dance Speaks the Unspoken and No
Language Is Required当舞蹈说出没有说出的话,就无需语言了
A complete dancer today, is well trained in more than one discipline. The
European dance scene has seen a rebirth of the influence of Spanish dance with
the fusion of Flamenco and Classical Spanish Dance with other styles. The
excitements of these fusions are very present in the Bay Area, which is
America's hotbed of Flamenco. This heat wave of creation,
arrived last summer in Walnut Creek with the premiere concert season of Carolina
Lugo's Brisas de Espa—a Flamenco Dance Company. Carolina's company not only
presents the powerful intense energy of solo flamenco but the grace and joy of
classical dances. She herself was trained in classical Spanish dance, which is a
world apart from the introverted nature of flamenco, with its familiar roots of
the earth. What ballet gives to both her traditions, is the physical strength of
movement that seeks light and takes to the air. Perhaps, where these very
different traditions flow within her blood we have the true creative force of
Ms. Lugo's work. Each tradition is like a river joining to form an even more
powerful force with its own life. During a rehearsal in preparation for Brisas
appearance with the Eagles, Clint Black, and Bruce Hornsby at the benefit
concert for Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation, Carolina explained her
intense passion for dance. When a dancer is on stage, it goes without saying,
they must be one with the music. Without this connection to the music, movement,
and yourself, a dancer is only counting steps and performing routines. The heart
of the dancer's work is to embrace the audience with the depth of our lives and
the fiery sensuality of dancing. The magic of performing is for the dancers and
the audience to experience our fierce pride, love, happiness and tears. The art
of Flamenco is the completeness of being, which the Gypsies of
Spain refer to as "duende", the possession of the sole. This quality, when
it present, casts a spell over the audience and everyone becomes involved.
The gift of the modern age is that with the speed of travel and
communications we are able to emerge in the changes of the world's cultures.
Intemational artist Manuel Manolo Betanzos will be returning from a world tour
for a month of performances and dance workshops with the company. Carolina
believes that Manolo's fused style of dance makes him one of Spain's best
dancers. He was trained in the earthy traditions of flamenco and the elegance of
classical Spanish dance by many of the greatest maestros in Spain. His
commanding presence on stage last summer earned him the admiration of local
dance fans. Pepe Haro also from Spain will join the company as guest guitarist.
His playing and musical arrangements bring power to every chord, shading and
singing melodic line and above all, a rich rhythmic pulse.
Exploring the emotions and feelings of flamenco has been a profound
journey for Carolina. She was recently awarded a grand from the Diablo Regional
Arts Association to further her own exploration of dance fusion and will
collaborate for this year's performance with Brazilian Samba Queen, Katia Vaz.
Carolina will present the World Premier of Dance Without Borders (Bailes Sin
Fronteras). She promises that this work will be a moment, when dance speaks the
unspoken and no language is required, only the passion to dance free of
limitations. Both Spanish and Brazilian music and dance are diverse and
represent a vast m lange of cultural similarities and differences. The emotions
of life are the fundamental pieces of both dance traditions. Carofina and Katia,
will be joined by Carolina Acea, daughter of Carolina an American original whose
style has been influenced by both traditions. The music will be sung both in
Spanish and Portuguese by Roberto Zamora and Patricia Velasquez. Carolina
explains that the artistic essence of both Flamenco and Samba is their
expression of a gamut of feelings about life, embodied with an attitude.

Assuming that the engineering problems
could be overcome, the production of a time machine could open up a Pandora's
box of causal paradoxes. Consider, for example, the time traveler who visits the
past and murders his mother when she was a young girl. How do we make sense of
this? If the girl dies, she cannot become the time traveler's mother. But if the
time traveler was never born, he could not go back and murder his
mother. Paradoxes of this kind arise when the time traveler
tries to change the past, which is obviously impossible. But that does not
prevent someone from being a part of the past.Suppose the time traveler goes
back and rescues a young girl from murder, and this girls grows up to become his
mother. The causal loop is now self-consistent and no longer paradoxical. Causal
consistency might impose restrictions on what a time traveler is able to do, but
it does not rule out time travel per second. Even if time travel
isn't strictly paradoxical, it is certainly {{U}}weird{{/U}}. Consider the time
traveler who leaps ahead a year and reads about a new mathematical theorem in a
future edition of Scientific American. He notes the details, returns to his own
time and teaches the theorem to a student, who then writes it up for Scientific
American. The article is, of course, the very one that the time traveler reads.
The question then arises: Where did the information about the theorem come from?
Not from the time traveler, because he read it, but not from the student either,
who learned it from the time traveler. The information seemingly came into
existence from nowhere, reasonlessly. The bizarre consequences
of time travel have led some scientists to reject the notion outright. Stephen
W. Hawking of the University of Cambridge has proposed a "{{U}}Chronology{{/U}}
protection conjecture," which would outlaw causal loops. Because the theory of
relativity is known to permit causal loops, chronology protection would require
some other factors to intercede to prevent travel into the past. What might this
factor be? One suggestion is that quantum processes will come to the rescue. The
existence of a time machine would allow particles to loop into their own past.
Calculations hint that the ensuring disturbance would become self-reinforcing,
creating a runaway surge of energy that would wreck the
wormhole.

Electronic mail has become an extremely
important and popular means of communication. The convenience
and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth
in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial
electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all
electronic mail traffic, up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001, and the volume
continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or
more respects. The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic
mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and
who incur costs for the storage of such mail, or for the time spent accessing,
reviewing, and discarding such mail, or for both. The receipt of a large number
of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and
creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial and
noncommercial, will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume
of unwanted messages, thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic
mail to the recipient. Some commercial electronic mail contains material that
many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.
The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant
monetary costs on providers of Internet access services, businesses, and
educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail, as
there is a finite volume of mail that such providers, businesses, and
institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure. Many
senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the
source of such mail. Many senders of unsolicited commercial
electronic mail purposefully include misleading information in the messages'
subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some
senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways
for recipients to reject (or 'opt-out' o0 receipt of commercial electronic mail
from such senders in the future, other senders provide no such 'opt-out'
mechanism, or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive
electronic mail from such senders in the future, or both. Many
senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to
gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from
Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in
order to make full use of the website or service. The problems
associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic
mail cannot be solved by the government alone. The development and adoption of
technological approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other
countries will be necessary as well.
