Music from the Library of Thomas Jefferson

Music was an important part of Thomas Jefferson's life. He played violin as a boy and even attempted mastery in his early years at Monticello. He and his wife also studied fortepiano with an Italian violinist and harpsichordist who lived nearby. Years later in Paris, Jefferson expressed a great love of all the music he heard there. Not surprisingly, a number of gems by well-known composers were preserved in his library. The engaging soprano Sharon Baker will appear with violinist Daniel Stepner and harpsichordist Michael Sponseller in bringing you selections of Jefferson's favorite music.

Test Automation with Cucumber-JVM

Behaviour Driven Development and Acceptance Test Driven Development is an evolution of Test Driven Development, Domain Driven Design and many other lean and agile practices. The most used aspect of BDD is automated acceptance tests (aka. specifications) that help you create the right code and understand when you are done.

This course will give you a strong foundation in Cucumber JVM, a rewrite of Cuke4Duke, the tool many Java developers use for writing and running BDD style acceptance tests. Cucumber allows the whole team to be involved in the development of acceptance test as they a written in a business friendly natural language grammar called Gherkin. The tests written in Gherkin can then be executed using Cucumber by mapping each step in Gherkin to code in the chosen programming language.

 

Topics covered:

• Writing Features and Scenarios using Gherkin  the natural language grammar of Cucumber.
• Automating scenarios by writing Java glue code for Cucumber-JVM
• How to run Cucumber automated acceptance tests using both JUnit and Maven
• Managing features and scenarios and selectively executing what test scenarios get run using Tags
• Writing set-up and tear down code using hooks (@Before and @After)
• Using WebDriver (Selenium 2.0) with Cucumber
• Continuous Integration  (CI) best practices for Cucumber-JVM

 

Who should attend?

Java Developers and Software Testers with an understanding of Java

Prerequisites:

We recommend students have an understanding of writing Java code as all code examples and practical will require basic knowledge. Students do not require knowledge of any existing testing framework or library.

Format:

This course is delivered as a one day intensive with hands on practical’s involving code. Attendees will be provided with Windows PCs preconfigured with all the required tools and libraries. At the end of the course attendees will be provided with a USB Flash Drive containing all the course side and materials in PDF format.

Ruddigore

The Waltham Arts Council in association with The Watch City Players is proud to present Gilbert & Sullivan's "Ruddigore" Ruddigore, a pseudo-melodramatic ghost story, became most famous for the moment when the portraits of Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd's ancestors spring to life and demand that he uphold the family curse of performing a crime every day... or die. Meantime, in the local fishing village, all the young men are in love with pretty Rose Maybud. Her secret favorite is Robin who, unfortunately, is really the Lord of Ruddigore living incognito to avoid the family curse. He is exposed and forced into a life of crime, until faultless logic offers an ingenious solution and a blissful reunion with Rose. We will be holding the performances for Ruddigore at the auditorium at Government Center. Tickets are free, however, donations are welcome. This show is sponsored by The Waltham Tourism Council.

*SOLD OUT* SPRINGSESSION 2013: THURSDAY After-school Circus Arts Program for Kids aged 7 - 12. March 28 - June 6 (no class April 18). 3:45 - 5:15 p.m.

Spring 2013 Thursday After-school circus arts program for kids aged 7 - 12.  March 28 - June 6 (no class April 18th).  Class size is limited to 10 students. 

Priority registration is given to our current students. CURRENT STUDENTS MUST REGISTER IN PERSON AT THE STUDIO BY MARCH 10 TO HOLD THEIR SPOT FOR THE SPRING SESSION. If you are not a current student but would like to be put on the waitlist in case space becomes available, email Melinda Pavlata ~ melinda@cirquepassion.com.

Run away with the circus without actually having to leave home.  Circus stars Sacha and Melinda Pavlata are hosting after-school programs in their Waltham, MA headquarters, Moody Street Circus. Thursday Classes meet from 3:45 to 5:15 p.m.  Students must be dressed in appropriate workout attire (see below) and ***be able to listen and follow directions for the maximum safety of all participants. The focus is on learning and practicing real circus skills from circus professionals with proper spotting and attention by the teachers.

 

***We cap attendance at 10 kids to ensure maximum time on all equipment, to be able to give the best quality attention to all participants, and to promote the safest and best quality experience for all.

 

Please call or email Melinda (melinda@cirquepassion.com) at Moody Street Circus at 781 893 2491 with questions, to check if there is room in the session and/or to register and reserve a spot for your child.

Students in our Moody Street Circus Afterschool Program will practice tumbling, pyramid formation, rola bola, rolling globe, tightrope walking, trampoline, juggling skills and mini trampoline.  They will also learn the basics in circus aerial arts including cloud swing, static trapeze, rings, web, lyra and silks.

Attire:  Moody Street Circus is a gum-free, street-shoe free zone, even --please! -- for parents and caregivers who are dropping off and picking up. Parents and caregivers are always welcome to stay and watch the action while sitting on our comfy studio futons. If you do stay to watch, please do not jump in and participate.  Camp is conducted barefoot, but indoor-use only sneakers and/or acrobatic shoes are suggested for work on unicycle and low wire.  Long hair must be worn pulled back in a pony-tail or in braids.  We go upside-down on equipment and always follow the SAFETY FIRST! Rule, so: 3/4 sleeve leotards and shorts or leggings for girls, shorts and shirts that can be well-tucked in for boys.  Kids should not be worried about tucking in their shirts when they are upside down, it is very distracting and dangerous when you are learning new tricks.

**Waiver forms must be completed for each camper or participation in camp will not be allowed.  We will send you a waiver form after you have registered, or you can request one prior by emailing meinda@cirquepassion.com.

If you have any additional questions, please call Melinda at Moody Street Circus : 781 893-2491.

 

Reviews of Moody Street Circus and the Pavlatas:

Philippe Petit, renowned funambulist most recently featured in Man on Wire, writes of Sacha Pavlata, Moody Street Circus Founder:

“I met Alexandre Pavlata in 1972 at the Cirque d’Hiver of Paris.  He was helping some kids, backstage, to perfect their somersaults.  I remember the gentle yet strong way he was directing their progresses, there was a lot of joy, but the results were prompt.

 

As I watch Sacha over the years, becoming slowly the “best circus teacher” (his well-earned reputation today), I realized that a very special chemistry was the secret of his so unique ability:  Sacha could offer in the classes he gave, the flavor of European Circus Tradition.  He was born and raised in a traveling circus family, therefore was quickly acquainted with the constant training, the tough discipline, the respect for other artists, and the ability to understand rigging and to perform all aspects of circus profession.

 

But Sacha had to offer, blended to this heritage, the benefits of his own life and personality:  he has traveled all over the world, therefore mastering several languages, he had coached numerous pupils of diverse ways of life, nationalities, age, goals and talents, had become a father, and had developed a sparkling intelligence at introducing the unfamiliar to a demanding craft, with surprising results.

 

It is the blending of the deeply traditional world of European circuses, with a modern international expertise that made the instruction of Master Teacher Pavlata so effective, and so rich, so outstanding."

 

"I love this place; I want to live here! I could sleep on the trapeze!!!"  (Birthday girl Stella Hu)

"This was the most exciting party my daughter has ever attended!" (Wellesley Mom)

“My 5th grade daughter has been taking a circus class at Moody Street Circus and she loves it! Her favorite activities are the silks and the lyra. It gives her such a sense of freedom and accomplishment! I see it every time she comes back from class. Thank you Melinda and Sacha for encouraging the students to push their limits in a safe, fun environment!” --

This training course is an introduction into knowledge discovery from unstructured data like text documents. It focuses on the necessary preprocessing steps and the most successful methods for automatic text classification (including Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machines, SVM) and text clustering. Many practical exercises for different settings (for example e-mail spam detection, automatic e-mail routing, adaptive personal news filtering, sentiment analysis of text documents like news, web pages, blogs, e-mail, or PDF documents) will enable the participants to transfer the gained knowledge to own text mining problems.

After the training course the participants will have the ability to:

• identify the processes for processing unstructured data
• transform textual data into a structured format
• apply different statistical text processing methods
• perform text classification or text clustering
• work on recent tasks like sentiment analysis or opinion mining

Details

• Target audience: users, analysts, developers, administrators
• Previous knowledge: foundations of data mining and RapidMiner
  
• Methods: lectures, discussions, individual and group work, exercises on realistic data.

Participants may introduce their own work and project specific questions in order to find particular solutions together with the trainer and other participants. The training course addresses intermediate learners and we recommend visiting the course Introduction to Data Mining and Predictive Analytics with RapidMiner.

Circus Arts 1/2 Day Program for Kids Summer 2013. Session 1 - July 1 - 12, Session 2: July 25 - 26

Calling all kids aged 7 - 13! Run away with the circus without actually having to leave home!  Circus stars Sacha and Melinda Melina Pavlata are hosting and teaching two 2-week sessions of circus camp in their headquarters, Moody Street Circus in Waltham, MA.  Each 2 week session costs $625. Class size is deliberately kept low - to 10 kids per session, to maximize safety and ensure individual attention for all kids to learn circus tricks safely on all the equipment.  There WILL be a class held on the morning of Thursday July 4th for those who wish to attend. Students will participate in a mini circus show on the final Friday of each 2 week session at 11:30 a.m. Parents, caregivers and siblings are welcome to attend this show.  If your child has trouble following directions or listening to teachers in classes, please don't register them for this program! Safety is paramount in the circus arts and respectfully listening to your teachers is integral to the highest quality experience for all involved.  If you have any questions whatsoever, please contact Melinda Pavlata at Moody Street Circus: 781 893 2491

PROGRAM 2-WEEK SESSIONS

JULY 1 - 12 :: 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m :: $625

JULY 15 - 26 :: 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. :: $625

We would prefer students to sign up for the two-week session so they can build their skills up enough to the point to perform well in the mini-show we present at the end of the second week of the program.  However, this year we are letting people register their child for the one-week option -- just keep in mind that there will not be a show presentation at the end of the first week of each 2-week session.  Also, we would like you to contact us before you register your child so we can find out a little more about them and make sure there is room in the week you are choosing. The one week option price is $350 per week, and the options are July 1 - 5, July 8 - 12, July 15 - 19, July 22 - 26.

Students in the circus summer program will practice light assisted tumbling, pyramid formation, rola bola balancing, hula hoop, walking on the rolling globe, low wire tightrope walking, juggling, plate spinning and clowning skills, mini trampoline, and regular trampoline.  They will also learn the basics in circus aerial arts including cloud swing, static trapeze, web, lyra (aerial hoop), aerial web, aerial hammock and silks.

• We start the day with a warm-up and fun stretching and strengthening exercises. 
• We proceed to circus tumbling skills on the tumbling mats, including forward rolls, monkey rolls, wheelbarrows, candlesticks, cartwheels and pyramid formation.
• Throughout each session we introduce some of Sacha Pavlata's multi-generational circus family clowning skits, including Dead Man, Robin Hood the Coin comedy act, the Newspaper and more. KIds can practice their circus theatrics and comedy.
• When time permits we will be screening some great circus acts from our private collection!
• We break into small groups for safe learning on the aerial equipment.  
• Students have practice time on rola bola, rolling globe, low wire, plate spinning, juggling, trampoline.
• We end the day perfecting skills on the mini-trampoline.
• We will provide fresh fruit and bagel with cream cheese snacks daily. Please let us know if your child has any allergies or other medical issues.

Camp will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m.  Students can be dropped off at 8:45 a.m.  Campers must be picked up and signed for on time at 12:30 by their parents or care-givers.

Attire:  Moody Street Circus is a gum-free, street-shoe free zone, even for parents who are dropping off and picking up.  Students will work barefoot, but indoor-use only sneakers and/or acrobatic shoes are suggested for work on unicycle and low wire.  Long hair must be worn pulled back in a pony-tail or in braids. No jewelry or zippers! We go upside-down on equipment and always follow the SAFETY FIRST! Rule, so: Leotards and shorts or leggings for girls, shorts and shirts that can be well-tucked in for boys.  Campers should not be worried about tucking in their shirts when they are upside down, it is very distracting and dangerous when you are learning new tricks to be worried about your clothing. 

Waiver forms MUST be completed for each camper or participation in the program will not be allowed.

Call Melinda at 781 893 2491 or email her (melinda [at] cirquepassion [dot] com) with any questions. To secure your child's spot in a session, pay online now.  Once you are registered, we will email you waiver forms to fill out and send in for your child. This signed form is required prior to participation in any physical activity at Moody Street Circus studio.

Here's a fun video showing our circus students in action! (cut and paste YouTube link into your browser, or search the Moody Street Circus channel on YouTube!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emBSHF5q1o0

Search for Identity: the Role of Adoption in Adolescence

Who am I?

This is the ultimate question that arises at various times in life but significantly, in adolescence. For an adopted person, adolescence is not only a time for self-discovery and challenge but a period to begin filling in the pieces of personal history. This program will give clinicians, educators, and medical professionals working with adopted people of any age additional insight into this critical developmental stage.

3 CEUs for social workers. Application for social work continuing education credits has been submitted. Please contact Mindi Whitney at mwhitney@adoptionresources.org for the status of social work CE accreditation.

Questions? Please contact Mindi Whitney at mwhitney@adoptionresources.org or 781-647-JFCS (5327) ext. 1390.

 

Workshop Schedule

Registration: 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Continental breakfast served.
Program: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Featured Speakers

Debbie B. Riley, MS
Beneath the Mask: Understanding Adopted Teens

Everyone has a disguise, especially adopted adolescents. Masks are what teens use to hide and protect themselves in order to forget pain. This mask becomes a way of exploring one’s own identity. Without basic knowledge of where they came from, adopted adolescents are often challenged during this developmental stage, looking for ways to define themselves. This presentation will provide attendees with clinical insight and evidence-based research regarding the adopted person’s thoughts and experience.

Debbie B. Riley, MS is the CEO of the Center for Adoption Support and Education, Inc. and had been a practicing marriage and family therapist for more than 28 years, focusing on adolescent mental health, treating teens in outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings. Since 1993, she has focused exclusively on the field of adoption, creating C.A.S.E., an innovative, nationally recognized nonprofit adoptive family support center.

 

Hal Grotevant, PhD
Identity Development in Open and Closed Adoptions: Does Contact Make a Difference?

Some adolescents and young adults have contact with birth relatives and others don't; but they all have to figure out what adoption means in their lives. How does identity development look in open and and closed adoptions? Insights will be shared from the Minnesota/Texas Adoption Research Project, a nationwide longitudinal study that has been following adoptive families and birth parents for more than 20 years.
 
Hal Grotevant, PhD, Rudd Family Foundation Chair in Psychology at UMass Amherst has focused his research on relationships in adoptive families, as well as identity in development in adolescents and young adults. He is also the Principal Investigator on the Minnesota/Texas Adoption Research Project, a 20-year longitudinal study that focuses on the consequences of variations in adoptive family and birth family contact arrangements.
