Talk:Samuel Bronfman

Untitled
Why does it say he was born in Bessarabia if his parents immigrated to Canada two years before?

bad source or they moved back

According to Christopher G. Curtis' "Bronfman Family" in The Canadian Encyclopedia: Year 2000 Edition (2000), Bronfman was born either in "Bessarabia or en route to Russia" in 1889 (not 1891 as previously indicated here). Victoriagirl 03:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

The name suggests that his ancestors would already have been in the liquor business back in Russia. Is anything known about that? Or is it a case of nominative determinism?--2.204.231.111 (talk) 08:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Saidye Rosner Bronfman

"even though McGill University had a long history of systematic discrimination against Jews." - you are confusing Jews with Khazars. Bronfmans are not jews, they are of a clear khazarian blood.

Here's addition to the article: "the entire south-east Asian opium trade interfaces with the Bronfman dynasty and is one of the ways heroin is brought to America. The BRonfman family is a "cut-out" what is known in MI6 as front-men, controlled from London by MI6 deskme. Edgar Bronfman, the family leader, was sent to the "Moscow Center" - a cover name for the KGB headquarters at 2 Dzerzhinsky Square in Moscow, on many occasions when it was certainly not fashionable to be in Moscow". At one stage, a CIA surveilance was put on Bronfman, only to find out that Bronfmans have been bragging to CIA that they don't know the real role of Edgar Bronfman. Two Eagle Star directors - top MI6 operatives - then took control of Bronfman family about 6 months after end of WWII.

The Bronfmans were mainly in bootlegging alcohol and drugs from Canada to USA."

Friendship or a relationship with the Rockefeller and Rothschild families?
I read something about how the Bronfmans are tied to the powerful Rockefellers and Rothschilds. Some sources indicate they determine Canadian politics and foreign policy - they probably even have a seat on the Council on Foreign Relations in Canada. Just a thought - may be someone could verify this?

"Sold liquor to US cities during prohibition..."
Nice choice of words. So basically he was active in organized crime, like smuggling of illegal drugs and God knows what.

This is a list of koans roughly organized according to style. Each koan is presented along with known context and possible interpretations.

Everything is best

 * When Banzan was walking through a market he overheard a conversation between a butcher and his customer.

 * "Give me the best piece of meat you have," said the customer.

 * "Everything in my shop is the best," replied the butcher. "You cannot find here any piece of meat that is not the best."

 * At these words Banzan became enlightened.

A cup of tea

 * Joshu asked a monk who appeared for the first time in the hall, "Have I ever seen you here before?"

 * The monk answered, "No sir, you have not."

 * "Then have a cup of tea," said Joshu.

 * He turned to another monk. "Have I ever seen you here before?" he said.

 * "Yes sir, of course you have," said the second monk.

 * "Then have a cup of tea," said Joshu.

 * Later, the managing monk of the monastery asked Joshu, "How is it that you make the same offer of tea whatever the reply to your question?"

 * At this Joshu shouted, "Manager, are you still here?"

 * "Of course, master!" the manager answered. "Then have a cup of tea," said Joshu.

Joshu's cypress

 * A monk asked Joshu, "Why did Bodhidharma come from the west?"

 * Joshu said, "The cypress tree in the garden."

Shih-shuang's seven straight ways

 * Shih-shuang was a Zen master in China who died without giving transmission. After his funeral ceremony, somebody had to give a formal Dharma speech, so many people asked the head monk.

 * As the head monk was about to begin speaking from the rostrum, Shih-shuang's attendant, a fifteen-year-old boy named Chiu-feng, came forward and said, "Our teacher often taught about the seven straight ways:

 * resting
 * ceasing
 * the cold, clear water of autumn
 * one mind for ten thousand years
 * cold ashes under a rotten log
 * a heavy censer in an ancient shrine
 * one line of incense smoke rising in the still air

 * If you understand the true meaning of the seven straight ways, you can give the Dharma speech. If you don't, you cannot.  Now tell me, what does this illustrate?"

 * "One color, different function," the head monk replied.

 * "I cannot believe that."

 * "If you don't believe me, I'll show you." The head monk then lit a stick of incense, placed it in the burner, and quietly watched it burn down.  Then he died.

 * Many people exclaimed, "Ah, this great monk has also died!"

 * Chiu-feng only patted the head monk's back slowly three times, saying, "Sitting, die. Standing, die.  Either way, no hindrance.  But Shih-shuang's true meaning cannot be found even in a dream."

Teachings of the insentient

 * Master Tozan called on Ungon and asked, "Who can hear the teaching of insentient beings?"

 * Ungon said, "It can be heard by the insentient."

 * Tozan asked, "Do you hear it?"

 * Ungon replied, "If I heard it, you wouldn't hear my teaching."

 * Tozan said, "If so, then I don't hear your teaching."

 * Ungon said, "If you don't even hear my teaching, how much less the teaching of the insentient?"

 * Tozan was greatly enlightened at this.

Tozan's three pounds of flax

 * A monk asked Tozan, "What is the Buddha?"

 * Tozan replied, "Three pounds of flax."

Lotus blossum, lotus leaves

 * A monk asked Chimon, "Before the lotus blossom has emerged from the water, what is it?"

 * Chimon said, "A lotus blossom."

 * The monk pursued, "After it has come out of the water, what is it?"

 * Chimon replied, "Lotus leaves."

The fire god seeks fire

 * A monk had been training under a master for three years.

 * One day his master asked, "Why have you never come to me for instruction?"

 * The monk explained that when he was with his former master he had a realization.

 * "I had asked my former master," the monk said, "'What is the self of a Zen practitioner?' He replied: 'The fire god seeks fire.'"

 * "That is a good statement, indeed, but you do not yet really understand it."

 * The monk replied, "It is like fire seeking fire, or the self looking for itself. What could be more ridiculous?"

 * The master declared, "Indeed, you have not understood at all."

 * Hearing this, the monk became agitated and left the monastery.

 * As he walked away, however, doubt settled upon him, and so he returned to beg the master, in all sincerity, "What is the self of a Zen practitioner?"

 * The master replied: "The fire god seeks fire!"

 * The monk was immediately enlightened.

Ummon's dried dung

 * A monk asked Ummon,"What is Buddha?"

 * Ummon answered, "Dried dung."

A gold Buddha

 * A student asked, "What is the Buddha?"

 * The teacher replied, "It is a thing of clay on the mantel, covered in gold."

Shuzan's staff

 * Shuzan held up his staff and waved it before his monks.

 * "If you call this a staff," he said, "you deny its eternal life. If you do not call this a staff, you deny its present fact.  Tell me, just what do you propose to call it?"

Every way is the true way

 * Joshu asked the teacher Nansen, "What is the True Way?"

 * Nansen answered, "Every way is the true Way."

 * Joshu asked, "Can I study it?"

 * Nansen answered, "The more you study, the further from the Way."

 * Joshu asked, "If I don't study it, how can I know it?"

 * Nansen answered, "The Way does not belong to things seen: nor to things unseen.  It does not belong to things known, nor to things unknown.  Do not seek it, study it, or name it.  To find yourself on it, open yourself as wide as the sky."

Hold up one finger

 * One day, Zen master Sol Bong visited Kum Sun Hermitage in Jeong Hae Sah Temple and asked Zen master Man Gong, "The Buddha held up a flower. What does this mean?"

 * Man Gong held up one finger.

 * Sol Bong bowed to him.

 * "What did you attain?" Man Gong asked.

 * Sol Bong replied, "A second offense is not permitted."

The monk eats

 * A hungry monk went to the owner of a restaurant and asked her, "If I can inspire you with a Buddhist teaching, will you give me a meal?", to which the pious restaurateur eagerly said, "Yes."

 * With confidence that he would earn his lunch, the monk solemnly quoted the Heart Sutra: "Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form."

 * "Wonderful! Marvelous!  How profound!" exalted the woman. "Please monk, wait here a moment."

 * The saliva was flowing freely in the hungry monk's mouth as the woman brought an enormous plate from the kitchen, covered with a lid. "Sit down, Venerable Sir.  Here are the chopsticks.  Here's a glass of water.  Here is the sauce," said the woman.

 * Then she placed the heavy plate before the expectant monk, removed the lid, and revealed an empty plate. "If form is emptiness and emptiness is form", said the woman, "then, Venerable Sir, eat emptiness!"

Huineng's flag

 * Two monks were watching a flag flapping in the wind. One said to the other, "The flag is moving."

 * The other replied, "The wind is moving."

 * Huineng overheard this. He said, "Not the flag, not the wind; mind is moving."

Ummon's robes

 * Zen master Ummon said: "The world is vast and wide. Why do you put on your robes at the sound of a bell?"

Joshu's dog

 * A monk asked Joshu, "Does a dog have the Buddha-nature?"

 * Joshu replied, "Mu."

Otomo Station

Otomo Station (小友駅) was a JR East railway station located in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The station, as well as most of the structures in the surrounding area, was destroyed by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and has now been replaced by a provisional bus rapid transit line.

Lines
Otomo Station was served by the Ōfunato Line, and is located 92.8 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Ichinoseki Station.

Station layout
Otomo Station had two opposed side platforms, connected to the station building by a level crossing. The station was staffed.

History
Otomo Station opened on 15 December 1933. On 23 May 1960, a tsunami caused by the Great Chilean earthquake submerged both this station and neighbouring Wakinosawa Station, making the line temporarily impassable until the water is removed. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. The station was one of six stations on the Ōfunato Line destroyed by the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Services have now been replaced by a BRT.

Talk:Anosognosia

Woodrow Wilson
Should there really be a link to the Woodrow Wilson article in "see also?" Wilson did suffer a stroke in office, but AFAIK there's no contemporary diagnosis of anosognosia. This was hypothesized by a neuropsychiatrist in the 1970s. Moreover, the Wikipedia article does not make even an allusion to Wilson denying his incapacity, whether or not it had a biological cause. Gaijinlaw (talk) 13:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Name
The name of this condition bugs me... In Greek, "anosognosia" means "knowledge of a non-illness". "Non-knowledge of an illness" would be "nosoagnosia"... Anyway, just my 5 cents. Poromenos 12:20, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Meh - probably because whoever named it didn't know Greek.. Could the confusion be related to a differing Latin and Greek syntax?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimw338 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Reversion
Hi Vaughan. I noticed you reverted my addition of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, and I've just reverted your deletion of it. I reckon it is relevant under the "see also" section: it is a form of impairment that sufferers do not realize they have. OK, so it's not due to injury, but surely it's still relevant. best wishes, Robinh 21:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, seems a good reason to me. Thanks Robin - Vaughan 10:06, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Did I miss it or is there no pronunciation key for this word? User:68.229.223.112 18:42, 21 November 2006 Ano-sag-nosia

Treatment section
The last sentence of the treatment section goes strait into saying something about "inoperable limbs". It doesn't seem to fit into the paragraph the way it is. SadanYagci 01:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Insight in psychosis
This article seems to have strayed from the neuropsychological syndrome of anosognosia after brain injury to largely talk about lack of insight in psychosis which is not what anosognosia refers to. The name is reserved from lack of insight after frank neurological disorder, as a search of PubMed shows. - Vaughan 07:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The term's pretty common in psychiatry, due to the viewpoint of Fuller Torrey (Treatment Advocacy Center). Practically speaking, it refers to patients who challenge their doctor's point of view. 208.181.100.27 (talk) 19:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I just came to discuss this but saw that Vaughan has written it already. I really think that the article would be better if the psychiatric use of the term was kept separately, perhaps in another article or as a smaller note at the end of this one. It is primarily known as a neurological disorder and the article does not reflect this.--Ihatechoosingnames (talk) 22:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

"rooted in physiology"

 * "Unlike denial, which is a defense mechanism, anosognosia is rooted in physiology (for example, damage to the frontal or parietal lobe due to illness and disease)"

I assume 'rooted in' means roughly 'can be explained in terms of'. But then the claim seems contentious. Wouldn't some people argue that tendencies of the mind, such as denial, can ultimately be explained in physiological terms? Perhaps 'rooted in' is getting at the idea that defense mechanisms currently cannot be explained in terms of physiology, while anosognosia can. Omphaloscope talk 11:49, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Unclear sentence regarding patient insight and coercion
I can't wrap my head around the following sentence: "One study of voluntary and involuntary inpatients confirmed that committed patients require coercive treatment because they fail to recognize their need for care.[11] The patients committed to the hospital had significantly lower measures of insight than the voluntary patients." Isn't it the other way around? Or does it mean "had significantly lower measures of insight before they were admitted (coercively)? I'd add a "needs clarification"-tag, but I'm not sure if it's just me or not. Katana (talk) 14:02, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes sense to me as written. It's not clear to me where your difficulty lies. Looie496 (talk) 16:03, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Chris Lewis (cricketer)

Clairmonte Christopher Lewis (born 14 February 1968 ) is an English former cricketer, who played for Nottinghamshire, Surrey and Leicestershire in the 1990s. He played in 32 Test matches and 53 One Day Internationals (ODIs) for England between 1990 and 1998. He was a part of the English squad which finished as runners-up at the 1992 Cricket World Cup.

Lewis was regarded as an aggressive lower-order batsman, fine fast-medium bowler and an able all-round fielder. He was regarded as a colourful player of the game, who never quite lived up to his early potential. He was later convicted of drug smuggling.

International career
Lewis was drafted into the England squad to tour the West Indies in 1990 when Ricardo Ellcock pulled out through injury, making his one-day international debut during the tour. He made his Test debut the following summer against New Zealand.

He pulled out of England's disappointing tour of Australia the following winter after only one Test, but made an instant impact on his return to the Test team against the West Indies at Birmingham in 1991, taking 6 for 111 (which remained his best Test bowling figures) and scoring 65 (his first Test half-century) batting at no.10. That winter he helped England to a series victory in New Zealand, scoring 70 in the first Test, and taking 5 for 31 in the second. He then helped England to the final of 1992 Cricket World Cup, highlights coming when he won the man of the match awards in wins against the West Indies (where his wickets included Brian Lara), and Sri Lanka, where he took his best one-day international bowling, 4 for 30. Only player of the tournament Martin Crowe won more man of the match awards in the tournament. However, England lost the final, Lewis being dismissed first-ball by Wasim Akram.

His first Test century, in Madras on the occasion of his 25th birthday, on England's 1993 tour of India, gave hope for a bright international future. However England lost all their four Tests that winter, Lewis was dropped after the Lord's test against Australia in 1993, and this remained his only Test century.

Lewis was labelled "The Prat without a Hat" by The Sun, after he was forced to pull out of the first match of England's tour of the West Indies in 1994 with sunstroke after enlisting Devon Malcolm's help to shave his head to raise money for Children in Need, and then not wearing any protection. According to Martin Williamson, this Sun headline "came to haunt Lewis for the remainder of his career". Nonetheless, uniquely among England's bowlers on the tour he did appear in all five matches in the Test series against the West Indies, taking seven wickets to bowl England to the brink of a winning position in the third Test at Trinidad before England's batsmen collapsed to a devastating spell from Curtly Ambrose. To Lewis fell the dubious honour of bowling when Lara broke Garfield Sobers' record for the highest individual Test score in the final Test of the series at Antigua, although Lewis also made an unbeaten 75 as England drew the match. However, he was then dropped from the Test team, though continuing to appear in some one-day internationals and featuring in the England side which won the Hong Kong Sixes in 1994. He was recalled to the Test side as an injury replacement the following winter during the 1994-95 Ashes, taking 4 for 24 as England won an unexpected victory in the fourth Test at Adelaide, but after the next Test was dropped again.

He was recalled for the Birmingham test in 1996, taking his third Test five-wicket haul as England beat India, but was dropped again at the end of the summer, and thereafter only played two more one-day internationals. His international career ended in 1998.

In the run-up to the 1999 Cricket World Cup, England national coach David Lloyd and captain Alec Stewart requested Lewis's inclusion in the team owing to his skill with the new ball, but were refused permission to chose him by the selectors, due to concerns about Lewis's behaviour.

Domestic career
Lewis had a nomadic county career, starting with Leicestershire before moving to Nottinghamshire. In 1996 he moved to Surrey, and in 1998 returned to Leicestershire. Highlights included winning the 1997 Benson & Hedges Cup with Surrey, and winning the 1998 County Championship with Leicestershire. During the latter campaign, he captained Leicestershire in a number of their matches.

Lewis always felt he was driven out of county cricket after alleging that three England teammates had taken bribes to throw matches (a charge that was never substantiated).

In 2006, he captained Clifton Cricket Club, in the Central Lancashire Cricket League, where he opened the batting and the bowling. In his spare time, he also coached children in Berkshire.

He played four games for Stockton in the Newcastle District Cricket Association in 2007/08.

In 2008, Lewis re-signed for Twenty20 matches for Surrey, in light of his bowling experience. However, his comeback was short and unsuccessful. He played one Friends Provident Trophy game, in which he conceded 51 runs in six overs, and one Twenty20 match. He took no wickets in either.

Post-Retirement Life
Following his retirement, Lewis worked as a cricket coach, and also worked for the local council in Nottinghamshire.

On 8 December 2008, Lewis was arrested at Gatwick Airport on suspicion of smuggling 3.37 kilograms of liquid cocaine, with a street value of about £140,000, into the United Kingdom on a flight from Saint Lucia. Lewis claimed that he was returning from holiday in St Lucia and that the drugs had been planted in his luggage by a third party. After a trial at Croydon Crown Court, on 20 May 2009 Lewis and his accomplice, basketball player Chad Kirnon, were found guilty and sentenced to 13 years in prison. He was released in June 2015 after serving six years of his sentence at HMP High Down.

Following his release, Lewis worked with the PCA, teaching players to plan for the future. He released a biography about his experiences (Crazy: My Road to Redemption), and was also the subject of a play (The Long Walk Back) about his time in prison. Lewis also works as a motivational speaker.

Adeline Genée

 Dame Adeline Genée DBE (born Anina Kirstina Margarete Petra Jensen; 6 January 1878 – 23 April 1970) was a Danish-British ballet dancer.

Early years
Anina Kirstina Margarete Petra Jensen was born in Hinnerup north of Aarhus, Denmark. Her uncle, Alexandre Genée, gave her dancing lessons from the age of three. When she was eight, Alexandre and his wife, the former Antonia Zimmerman, adopted her. As well as changing her last name to Genée, she changed her first name to Adeline in honour of the Italian opera star Adelina Patti. Genée's debut was with her uncle's touring company at the age of ten in Oslo (at that time called Christiania).

In 1895, she became the principal dancer of the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen. Subsequently, in 1896, she danced with the Berlin Royal Opera Ballet and the Munich Opera Ballet.

At the Empire
In 1897, she accepted a booking for six weeks to appear in Monte Cristo at the Empire Theatre of Varieties in London. She was so admired for her classical style in that ballet, that she was offered the position of prima ballerina at the Empire, and stayed there for ten years.

The Empire's ballets were mostly choreographed by Katti Lanner, but Genée supplied much of her own choreography, in conjunction with her uncle Alexandre. Her further successes there included The Press (1898), Les Papillons (1900), High Jinks (1904), Cinderella (1906), and the British premiere of Coppélia (1906).

The Edwardian period probably represents the lowest point in the history of English ballet. It consisted of short dances in variety programs. Genée did much to raise the status of ballet by reviving earlier productions and creating an audience for more elaborate works. She was versatile enough to dance light musical hall roles and in more severe classical roles. Slender and elegant, she was often described as like "Dresden china". In one respect she was very backward-looking, preferring a style of costume that belonged to the 1830s.

From April 1905, Genée danced in 400 performances of the musical play The Little Michus at Daly's Theatre.

Around the world
In November 1907, Genée sailed to the US to perform in The Soul Kiss at the New York Theatre. The producer, Florenz Ziegfeld, described her on the posters as "The World's Greatest Dancer." In the United States at that time, many people were entirely unfamiliar with ballet, so a ballet performance needed to be presented as part of a musical spectacular.

For several years, Genée alternated between a season in London and one in America, although after her marriage to Frank S. N. Isitt in 1910 she gradually reduced the frequency of her appearances. Sergei Diaghilev saw her dance and immediately offered her a contract, but she refused it.

When she returned to America in 1908 she toured with The Soul Kiss. In subsequent American tours, she danced in The Silver Star (1909), The Bachelor Belles (1910), and Roses and Butterflies (1911). In the latter she was partnered by Alexis Kosloff, who presented her with a silver trophy, inscribed "To the World's Greatest Dancer".

On 3 December 1912 she made her debut at New York's Metropolitan Opera, with a program of divertissements which included La Camargo, which had premiered earlier in 1912 at the London Coliseum. In it she recreated the dancing of the great ballerina Marie Camargo. On 17 December 1912, the Met saw the premiere of La danse, subtitled "An Authentic Record by Adeline Genée of Dancing and Dancers between the Years 1710 and 1845". Its seven tableaux portrayed past ballerinas from Françoise Prévost to Marie Taglioni. La Camargo and La danse were original ballets by Genée, created in collaboration with the composer Dora Bright and the designer C. Wilhelm. She took these on her subsequent tours of America, Australia and New Zealand, as well as The Dryad, an earlier collaboration with Bright which had been a success at the Empire in 1908.

On 21 June 1913, she returned to her greatest role, as Swanilda in Coppélia, this time in Melbourne. On 6 August 1913, Genée danced in Sydney.

In 1916, she went on a sixteen-week tour of Australia with J. C. Williamson's company. The Australian navy wildly cheered her dancing a hornpipe in a benefit show billed as "Navy Night". On returning to London, she gave her last major performance in April 1916 at the Coliseum in The Pretty Prentice. Thereafter, she appeared only in occasional charity performances and commemorations. In 1923, Genée was awarded the Ingenio et Arti medal by the King of Denmark.

Her last performance was on 15 March 1933, for the early television service of the BBC. Partnered by Anton Dolin, she danced in The Love Song. This was an original ballet, created for an earlier, special appearance at the London Coliseum, with period dance music composed by Bright. It was broadcast to London on the BBC National Programme, via the Baird process.

Genée became a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1950. She gave her name to the Adeline Genee Theatre in East Grinstead (built in 1967, but now sadly demolished) and the Genée studio in the Royal Academy of Dance, Battersea, London.

Royal Academy of Dance
In 1920, Genée collaborated with Philip Richardson of the Dancing Time magazine, with the aim of improving the standard of dance and the teaching of dance in the United Kingdom. This led Richardson to organise a meeting of eminent dance professionals at the former Trocadero Restaurant in Piccadilly, with Genée as one of the special guests representing what were, at the time, recognised as the leading methods of classical ballet training.

 * Phyllis Bedells – English Method
 * Lucia Cormani – Italian Method
 * Edouard Espinosa – French Method
 * Adeline Genée – Bournonville Method, Denmark
 * Tamara Karsavina – Imperial Method, Russia

This meeting ultimately led to the formation of the Association of Teachers of Operatic Dancing of Great Britain, which was officially founded in December 1920. The association grew in size and influence, with Queen Mary consenting to become its Patron. A royal charter was eventually granted by King George V in 1935, with the association becoming the Royal Academy of Dancing. Genee's friend Jennie Brenan used the methods in Australia and in 1936 she became the first oversea's member of the Academy's grand council.

In 1953, Genée instituted the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award. She was president of the academy until her retirement in 1954, when she was succeeded by Dame Margot Fonteyn.

The association is known as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), with Darcey Bussell as president. It has grown to become one of the largest dance teaching and examination boards. The RAD now has over 14,000 members, and operates in 79 countries. There are currently over 1,000 students in full-time or part-time teacher training programmes with the academy and each year, the examination syllabus is taught to more than a quarter of a million students.

Genée International Ballet Competition
In 1931, the association established the Adeline Genée Gold Medal Awards, as a scholarship scheme for aspiring young dancers. Initially, medals were only awarded to female dancers, but awards for men were later introduced in 1939. Today, the Royal Academy of Dance continue to offer the awards; however, they have become known as the Genée International Ballet Competition. The Genée competition attracts candidates with recent finals being held in Australia, Canada, Greece, Hong Kong and Singapore. In May 2019, a week after the would-be 100th birthday of Dame Margot Fonteyn, the Genée International Ballet competition was renamed the Margot Fonteyn Ballet Competition, in honour of the RAD's longest-serving president.
