I am pleased to gain more knowledge and increase my education on FGM, so that my understanding is more informed on such a sensitive vital issue that recognises a Woman's ownership over her own body, reduces stigmatisation and denounces violence engendered towards women.

Newspaper or ordinary kitchen towel absorbs the stain, it must be done rapidly. Good ventilation and the use of disposable towels or ordinary towels under the feet of the individual is vital. -

There is also another reason, where agency is concerned. Music Therapy as specified is a particular training. In its specificity this could eliminate the effect of a control group where the socialisation aspect is necessary, and known to illicit therapeutic effects but not specifically conducted by therapists. Who then acts as the arbitrator of the findings?...

Yes, it does change the outcome of how anyone should think in relation to how music effects neuro plasticity and the information that exists as movement medicine particularly in relation to older people . Young people and the intermediary ages.
Also it is interesting how some studies focus on how music acts as a distraction ,instead of focusing on how it... -

Cliona Ryan made a comment
Neuro Plasticity is involved. Musicians who start are exposed to Music in the Womb and learn from a young age fare better because there is already an environmental predisposition. If the older People were playing over a lifetime this may attribute to developing a life long skill but harder to rate Intelligence.
False Claims cannot be made.
However, in terms... -

Singing and being part of a group singing class in the Walton School of Musiic in Dublin was one of my favourite Adult memories. Eight Men and me ,
which was brilliant for harmonising and of course socialisation.

This is a fascinating area of research. Particularly when for instance music in restaurants stimulates appetite. The same piece of music can effect the palette to illicit a sweetsour effect , even though the music may be exactly the same.

The Physical Application of folding and unfolding the paper is not tested over time. If Say Origami was applied, where the testing of three conditions apply. One where testing was conducted by People who fold paper regularly to Mozart and or a group that fold paper without Music and thirdly one who begin to fold the paper with no experience and are introduced...

Cliona Ryan made a comment
Common time 4/4 is attributed to sadder Music. Joyful Music or Adagio moves at a more lively upbeat pace. However, if you were to tie in a correlation between folding paper in accordance with the timing of the music it would be a catastrophic affair that may prove an impossibility. Undoing the pieces of paper mentally may be rendered more effectively if the...

Intelligence is not easily quantifiable. The balance between emotional and practical application seems to resonate.

I learned how to play the Tin Whistle as a child.
I have very little formal training, but I do love Music in general. -

Thank you the Team and also to the Poets who gave so readily of their time. Thank you to the fellow participants .

Cliona Ryan made a comment
Yes, it was successful. It is the creation of a piece of History. It also shows the universality of the topics and conversely how different perspectives
arise. Also, lyrical sonnet or Shakespearean, it works to create a theme and both opens and helps to give limitations . -

Yes ,but the appeal in her writing does exist in its non specificity which leads it open to interpretation. This incongruity leads to an emotional impact to register difference, to look at something through a different interpretative lens and in so doing anchors the Language in Human experience. When Rontgen discovered the first x ray, it was a way of seeing...

The Poems resonate for their subtlety , which leads to a blatant truth which is central to the Meaning of the poems. The brilliant notion of Motel sand all that is implicit in it as a building. A place to attend to celebrate love that is the premise of a remove from the mainstream. Even though that it not as it is experienced by the Couple. Where the edict...

Cliona Ryan made a comment
The Cultural identities reflected in the Australian Flag. How identities are defined and behaviours are tolerated. Thus this in turn, causes an internal rage, a reaction in the Poet, an inner call to protest , even if the traffic does not appear for some time.

Cliona Ryan made a comment
Ambiguity allows for varying interpretive values. It also neither denies nor confirms entirely a conflict within a piece so the reading has more subjective truth. This ambiguity of the Geraniums seeing as a thing of Beauty , a peaceful garden has the ambiguity of knowing not all interpretive values particularly heteronormative experience may not read this as a...

When we talk about putting a name on it, i think that extends way beyond etymology and those universal truths resonate. Poetry provides a framework and an emotional honesty to that . Which of course is based in cultural perception. Being able to put a name o a n emotion or feeling is also an interesting concept. This internal conflict is the stuff of words....

Rhyme reinforces vey early memory and learning. It acts as a comfort blanket of Language and it is difficult at the same time to stick with in the parameters. Sometimes, it is harder to put a tenet on it, but it does provide a a guide a safety point around language. The Sibilance Onomatopoeia and Metaphor adds a patina, a distinct defining rhythm to the...

This Poem consists of: 3 stanzas, Open Verse.
It can be read as a Palindrome.
The Central Themes reside around Traditionalism and Contemporary Practice. Particularly in relation to Pedagogy. A classical Tradition . The Tenets upon which a Culture is formed, but that which leads People in to a desire to be explicitly open in self knowledge. Chance and... -

contd: The Poet directly refers to the Opening up of a Landscape . He decrees about his ideal landscape having room for all architectural aspects. A Metaphor for openness. An ability to see from different perspectives. "Hills" "Bridges" amore inclusive perspective.

Cliona Ryan made a comment
Yes, as the content of Lyric or protest songs promotes a Mass Appeal. The writing of which can be complicated, but simplified for a wider Audience. The only criticism would be, if the Nobel Prize backfires to promote a system of pedagogy, that directly cuts out a New Audience, particularly when literacy is becoming extinct, decreases its value and function....

Bob Dylan's " Girl from the North County " was a very fond memory of Art College . The use of Ekphrastic Poetry. "Don't criticise what you don't understand, because the times they are a changing" and the call to protest in "Gather round People" had a significant ramification on the Vietnam War. A Protest. A call to Arms. Also ,having come through a global...

I thought it was a great learning curve. Shakespearean Sonnet and Iambic Pentameter where there is such a love conflict involved, opens up the way in which the precarious balance can be shown.

Dactylic is difficult , however the beautiful Word Picture conjured up, and the use of sibilance lends to the metre and allows the word picture to flow.
Also, the way the lines are altered visually scans an eye across the Poem differently.
The Poem deals with morbidity. The palindromic nature of the Poem deals with bait and solidifies the idea of death and... -

Yes, I do think this element could be used to demonstrate a deliberate disrupt. Or a comment on the la-la-la- la-la-la-la-la quality of life .

The same numbers of syllables in a line makes it run rhythmically off the page. This solidifies the main theme of the Poem. This rhythmic pattern lends momentum to words. Banjo Paterson and Edgar Alan Poe both used this method in the poems.

The Reading of the poem is down to personal interpretation. However, the universality of the Theme ,the eternal question
( Which is asked by every Reader) renders a time less aspect and affords authorship to the reader. Inflection points, metre and Rhyming scheme (ABABCDCDEFEFGG) read easily.
Also the questions ensure life is imbued in the meaning which... -

The notion of "Dipping Birds" may refer to dipping Moods or allude to birds swooping down to sea Baffled against the wind to prey or select fish. The grief was too much to process. Flying nearer to the Sun , the oedipal Complex and an ekphratic Poem( reference to The Fall of Icarus).

Poetry acts a timeline.
The reading of poetry that uses metaphor simile onomatopoeia on a page that literally allows the metre and the rhyming scheme of a Poem to resonate on the Page. Encaustic Poetry and the Nature Poetry such as Vahni Capildeo "Handfast" and "Tewksbury Road" John Masefield resonate with me.
