Cambridge Who’s Who Member, Nancy Bauser, Publishes a Guide to Help Survivors of Catastrophe

Cambridge Who’s Who VIP member, Nancy Bauser, is a social worker and disability life coach with the NSB Group in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. She has published a book entitled Acceptance Groups for Survivors: A Guide for Facilitators. The book is intended for use by professionals who work with survivors of traumatic brain injuries or other conditions resulting in disabilities.

In 1971, Ms. Bauser survived a head-on collision, which resulted in a severe brain stem injury. After the accident, she had to relearn how to walk, talk, think and function independently. Ms. Bauser said in an article published in the June 2008 issue of Psychology Today that she believed the secrets to her success were not seeing failure as an option, maintaining determination while accepting temporary setbacks to position herself for future success and refusing to capitulate to helplessness. This allowed her to be ambitious and accomplish the goals she had set for herself. Written in a straightforward manner, Ms. Bauser reaches out to other survivors through Acceptance Groups for Survivors to help them continue with their lives.

With its basis in personal experience, the book also presents a systematic method on how to help victims of catastrophe. Ms. Bauser has developed an approach that facilitators, social workers, psychologists and rehabilitation personnel can use to aid those who have suffered similar physical traumas. She has designed a structured group program, helping survivors to accept their deficits, so they can begin recovery.

Frank Farelly, a former clinical professor, author and internationally known psychotherapist says that Acceptance Groups for Survivors is a well-organized, compassionate and realistic guide. Others have also described it as a “user-friendly guide that asks all the right questions” and is “most interesting.” Her book relays the message that recovery is making progress, giving her peace and the ability to be content with her life and limitations.

After her severe and life-threatening brain injury in 1971, Ms. Bauser made more than a full recovery. She went on to earn her bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1973 and master of social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1976. Ms. Bauser also became a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers in 1984.

Cambridge Who's Who Member, Joseph Siofele, publishes AMATAGA

Cambridge Who’s Who lifetime member, Joseph Siofele, has written a new book entitled AMATAGA that explores the origins of planet Earth, Polynesia and Malaysia. Released on August 20, 2008, the e-book contains his view of the Genesis Creation story, confronts the theory of evolution and even suggests a cure for cancer.

The findings that Siofele expresses in AMATAGA are a result of more than 20 years of research on the origin of Polynesia. In chapter one, Siofele explores the book of Genesis from the Bible and draws parallels between the Creation story and the Samoan legends of PAPALAGI and SAMOANA as well as the Atlantis myth. Chapter two explains Siofele’s view on the theory of evolution and DNA. He also states that he is filing a lawsuit in federal court to “declare evolution as flawed and dangerous for education.” Siofele does not believe that public education should teach the theory of evolution without due notice.

Chapter three reveals the origin of Polynesia, ending a 400-year-old mystery of its origins while chapter four offers a possible cure for cancer based on Biblical information. In chapter five, Siofele explains how a combination of the Bible, science and legends could provide a better basis for education than science alone. Chapter six is based on Siofele’s personal experience with the coral reef heads and coral reef tail in Tutuila as well as the coral reef slab in Satomai, Faleasi’u, Upolu. He has suggested to the two governments in Somoa that these reefs be protected as landmarks demonstrative of “Intelligent Design” instead of random appearance. Siofele ends with chapter seven, which offers a closing argument on the points and explanations mentioned in chapters one through six.

Siofele has been a member of Cambridge Who’s Who since May of 2008. He has also written The Incredible Origins of Polynesians and Malaysians and a movie documentary based on a book titled Polynesian Links. Siofele holds a Bachelor of Law from Irvine University College of Law and has appeared on PBS of London. He has also appeared on the front page in the news media worldwide. A German reporter and television crew visited him in Moreno Valley, CA to interview Siofele about his relation to the Kennewick Man.

Siofele is going on a world tour to several universities to speak about his book, AMATAGA. He will be starting with the National University of Samoa in December and is available for public speaking. For more information about Siofele or to order AMATAGA, please visit his website at http://www.amataga.net/.

Daughter of survivors keeps memory alive

Reprinted from: The Jewish Standard

April 4, 2008

by Abigail Klein Leichman

Joseph Horn died in 1999, 30 years after moving to Glen Rock and 60 years after the Nazis began a series of devastating actions that would leave him as the sole survivor of his Polish family.

Horn and his wife, Dinah, did not discuss their wartime experiences with their three daughters — not until Sandy, at age 10, discovered a black notebook with yellowed pages covered in her father’s handwriting.

"I knew it was something my parents didn’t want me to see," Sandy Rubenstein recalls today. "I locked myself in the bathroom [to read it] because I yearned to know where they got those tattoos, why they spoke with foreign accents, why we had no grandparents. I read voraciously, and the more I read the less I really understood."

The stories gradually started spilling out when she confronted her parents with her discovery. The notebook, she learned, contained memoirs her father had started to write in a displaced-persons’ camp in Stuttgart.

"I remember the sadness that would come over his eyes when I asked certain questions," said Rubenstein, a Woodcliff Lake resident. "He would pat my head and bemoan the fact that this was the legacy he had to leave us. He did not belabor the answers; he was patient and wise."
The Horns both came from the same city, Radom, and had met in its ghetto when Dinah (then Danka) was 12 and Joseph was 15. Dinah survived Bergen-Belsen and met up with her future husband again at the DP camp. "My father arrived in New York in 1947; my mother arrived in July 1949 and they were married in November 1949," Rubenstein related.

In 1995, Joseph and Dinah Horn sat for a videotaped interview with Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation. A year later, using his old notebook as a starting point, Horn wrote "Mark it With a Stone: A Moving Account of a Young Boy’s Struggle to Survive the Nazi Death Camps"(Barricade Books). Rubenstein said she did not know her father’s full story until she read it in its preliminary stages.

With his book in hand, Horn began speaking of his experiences at schools and community groups in order to actualize the words he chose for his foreword: "I implore God to give me the strength to do justice to those we left behind. To tell their story and mine so it may touch the hearts of people, now and in the future. To make sure, to the extent that I can, that our ordeal will not have been in vain."

Last year, Rubenstein had approached her father’s publisher about reissuing his book and received an enthusiastic response.

In February, Barricade Books released a new paperback edition of the 223-page book, with an introduction by Rubenstein giving her perspective as the child of survivors.
Rubenstein is a reading and language-arts teacher at Horace Mann in Riverdale, N.Y., where she first began following in her father’s footsteps by presenting 35-minute multimedia talks to middle- and high-school classes about his experiences. Now that the new edition of the book is out, she has expanded her schedule to venues in New Jersey as well. The presentation begins with a picture of the cover of "Mark it With a Stone" and includes up to 20 DVD clips from the Shoah Foundation interview.

"My dad was 12 when the war began, the same age as many of the children I speak to," she said. "The day he was supposed to enter seventh grade, the bombs began to fall. There’s a clip of him talking about what it was like on that day. When we talk about statistics, it doesn’t mean anything. But to tell one personal story touches hearts."

She also is working with the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education to devise workshops teaching children of survivors how to pass along their parents’ stories.
Her mother, who now lives in Washington Township, is not comfortable with public speaking but has attended some of her daughter’s lectures.Rubenstein is hopeful that her presentations encourage students to "reflect on their own moral responsibility, and to stand up and fight against genocide and prejudice, which still occur today. The concept of remembrance is not only about what happened in the past, but how to behave in the future. I believe this heartfelt program marks the advent of ways to teach the Holocaust after survivors are no longer with us."

As a former U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, Thompson is extremely honored to have been given the opportunity to train Marines in one-on-one combat, derived from various karate techniques.

“Since hand-to-hand combat is especially integral to a Marine’s training and ability to survive any combat situation in which no weapons are available, I feel privileged to teach these crucial techniques to my fellow Marines,” he says.

Thompson is currently collaborating with Arkansas Master Smith John Fitch to make handforged custom knives that can be distributed to the troops in Iraq.

In accordance with Thompson’s belief in maintaining the optimal level of health, he also uses, endorses and sells anti-aging and restorative health products distributed by Waiora. The company’s approach to optimum health involves removal, replenishment and restoration on a cellular level. Thompson successfully lowered his own blood pressure using Waiora products.

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) June 6, 2007 -- Cambridge Who's Who names Dorothy Theresa Dzigurski, RN, BSN, a neurological linguistics art and health coach of Art and Health Coaching Professional of the Year in neurological linguistics coaching. While inclusion in Cambridge Who's Who Registry is an honor, only one member in each discipline is named the Cambridge Who's Who Professional of the Year. The Cambridge Who's Who selection committee hand picks these special Who's Who honorees based on their accomplishments, academic achievement, leadership and service.

Dorothy Dzigurski was born in Grand Junction, Colorado. She trained in art through various courses while living and studying in Honolulu, Hawaii at the University of Hawaii before entering St. Mary's College of Nursing, San Francisco, California, and graduated in 1959. In 1962, she enrolled at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri and continued to take electives in art while working on a nursing degree.

Pursuing her nursing career, she always had a great love for art and for nature. She moved to Boulder, Colorado where she again enrolled in art classes at the University of Colorado where she graduated in 1966, with a Bachelor of Science degree.

"In the mid 1960's while working as a nurse, she encountered a patient with a broken painting arm, Alexander Dzigurski. Dorothy was instrumental in Alexander's recovery and a great friendship, romance and marriage followed. In 1968 she married Alexander Dzigurski, famous for his unique and colorful seascapes, one of his larger canvases, called 'From Sea to Shining Sea,' hangs in the Franklin Mint Museum. It was painted in 1976 in honor of the nation's Bicentennial, when the Franklin Mint Gallery of American Art commissioned him 'as America's finest painter of the sea." Together they had traveled extensively throughout the contiguous United States and beyond to Europe, Canada, and Hawaii. In short order, the happy couple had a son, born with oil paints flowing through his veins.

In 1973, for three and one half months, Dorothy, alongside her husband and son, sketched and painted in the Swiss Alps, France, Italy, Yugoslavia and Spain.

Today, Alex Dzigurski II is a fine artist in his own right, in part a testament to Dorothy's love of art and her devotion to her artist husband and to her artist son. Today, grandmother and matriarch, one of her great joys is brushing away at her easel.

Dzigurski with 40 years of professional nursing experience and has been a certified neurological linguistics coach for nine years. In this role, she uses her skills as a nurse and painter to coach those who have difficulty with the processes of speaking, listening, reading, writing and using sign language.
