Event Details
Humanoid robots have long been the dream of science fiction. However, today’s advances in microelectronics, sensing, and AI leave this previously unachievable advancement seemingly within reach. Is this true, though? In this talk, I’ll overview some of the history of humanoid robots, IHMC’s role and contributions to these advances, as well as discuss the potential likely (and unlikely) applications of these seemingly limitless systems. However, with much excitement and advancement comes the need to understand what these robots may and may not be good at. Just as important is to explore how these capabilities satisfy real needs, both economic and martial, particularly when compared to other amazingly advanced technologies. With this, we hope to answer the question of where are we likely to see and feel these robot’s impacts first?

The 9th Annual Florida Thoroughbred Transformation Expo will take place December 12-14 at The Florida Horse Park, brought to you by Run for the Ribbons as we continue to offer OTTBs at all stages of retraining a platform to showcase their versatile talents and incentivize OTTB adoption!
This year, we are running our Expo as usual with Open and Restricted divisions, entry in up to 2 disciplines per horse (with the exception of the Bell Class – details below) with the following disciplines available for entry in both divisions:
Eventing
Dressage
Western Dressage
Barrel Racing *NEW*
Freestyle
Show Hunter
Show Jumper
Working Ranch/Trail Horse
Ring the Bell In Hand *REVISED*
After years of absence from the Expo and by popular demand, we are excited to announce the return of BARREL RACING to the Expo!
And as noted, we have revised last year’s Bell class, which will be the ONLY discipline able to be added as a third discipline and will now allow any OTTB that has ever had a career start at one or more of the tracks that host the Ring the Bell program, which include Tampa Bay Downs, Inc. (FL), Oaklawn Hot Springs (AR), Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack & Hotel (IA), Lone Star Park (TX), and Sam Houston Race Park (TX). This discipline will be a simple In Hand class and is able to be entered alone (ship in/stall fees apply), as a second discipline, or as the only discipline able to be added as a third for the weekend.
All horses entered in more than one discipline will be eligible to win the covered title of MOST VERSATILE THOROUGHBRED, a prize awarded to a standout equine competitor over the duration of the weekend. To learn more about how this prize is awarded, please reference the official event rules.
Entries now OPEN on our NEWLY LAUNCHED website! Entries close October 31. Here you will be able to find our digital entry form, tiles, details, and tests/patterns for each applicable discipline.

Free Meditation Group
This meditation group will be doing simple yet profound meditations that will improve one’s health – mentally, physically and spiritually.
Many people believe that they simply cannot meditate, and that is simply untrue. It is a matter of brain training. We’ve allowed our brains to run around like unruly toddlers for years and then suddenly expect to be able to meditate. This is unrealistic. This group will be a safe landing space to explore and learn.
Other people know how vital meditation is for health (even doctors are prescribing it!) yet they don’t set aside the time to do it because we all have busy lives. This group is perfect for them as well, as it will give dedicated space and time for them to engage in that part of themselves and their lives.
Join us for this magical time! You’ll be glad you did. The cost is a Donation of Appreciation if you choose.

Register online at Abstract Thinking-Progressive Painting with Seth P. Benzel – Chelsea Art Center
or call 352-804-1272 to reserve your table and pay in person.
Seth is an internationally recognized artist who not only creates superb abstracts, but as an instructor clearly conveys the process of abstraction to his students. Abstract Thinking-Progressive Painting is an introduction to abstracts. The workshop will give you the groundwork for Abstract Thinking and start you on a compelling journey into the world of deconstructivism with Seth Benzel.
We will work with acrylics, but the principles can be applied to other media.
ABOUT SETH P. BENZEL
Seth Benzel, originally from New York, lives and works between NYC and Ocala, FL.
Benzel is an abstract painter who works predominantly with acrylic, while also infusing other mediums, and occasionally collage. A key element of Benzel’s work is the manipulation of line and space, and how they interrelate to each other. Linear aspects imply a sort of architecture…while freewheeling colors and brushstrokes represent the nature energy all around us. These elements could also be seen as a juxtaposition of the man-made artificial world vs. that of natural or spiritual world.
Benzel’s work is DECONSTRUCTIONIST in nature…celebrating the spontaneity of mark making, within a space showing movement and a certain perspective. Creating work that is always changing and never stagnant, where a painting never represents an ending but always a new beginning.
ARTIST STATEMENT
” My effort is to drive to the fullest extent, those few talents that were given me” -David Smith
My work originates from a language developed during a career of over 30 years of painting. The process is rooted in deconstructionism, allowing the underpainting to dominate, and space to reveal the context of the subject. Through this technique I am able to show multi-levels of experience…whether it be spiritual, emotional, or transcendent. From a technical standpoint this means a process that values mistakes and creates work that is fundamentally resolved but still open for interpretation. Aesthetically this means an experience that is transformative and never stagnant. The work keeps changing within the unchanging. This is where art becomes provocative, challenging, and timeless….when a painting never represents an ending, just another beginning.

StrEAT Party: An Evening of Elevated Flavors, Street Gastronomy & Curated Wine Pairing Announces December Event
Partnership with Extra Dirty Creative, Graze & Prosper, Sandy’s Wine Shack, and Magnolia Art Exchange to A Host A Sophisticated Culinary and Rhythm Experience
An unforgettable cultural and culinary experience, “An Evening of Elevated Flavors: Street Gastronomy & Curated Wine Pairing,” is set to take place on Sunday, December 14th, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the iconic Magnolia Art Exchange. This unique event promises a vibrant fusion of global street food, transformed into refined tapas, paired with a curated selection of fine wines.
The evening is designed to offer a sophisticated yet festive atmosphere, moving beyond a typical tasting into a meticulously crafted sensory journey. The chef-curated four-course tapas menu, provided by local culinary innovators Graze & Prosper and The Streatery Cart, will transform international street flavors into refined culinary bites.
Adding to the sophistication, Sandy’s Shack Imported Wine & Beer will provide The Sommelier’s Selection, guiding guests through five 3 oz pours of hand-selected wines, perfectly chosen to complement each course. Guests will also have the exclusive opportunity to enhance their private cellar with special, one-night-only bottle discounts on all featured vintages.
“We’re thrilled to bring this elevated concept to the community, proving street food treated with reverence and paired expertly with fine wine,” says [Steph Giera, Owner of Extra Dirty Creative]. “The combination of Magnolia Art Exchange’s beautiful space and the talent of our local partners promises a truly magical night that Ocala needs… and bonus, it’s affordable.”
The ambiance will be set by the sultry and timeless sounds of Salsa and Latin jazz, spun entirely on vinyl by renowned vinyl record DJ, Pepito Von Dracula. Attendees are invited to mingle and dance the night away beneath a canopy of twinkling bistro lights.

Free Meditation Group
This meditation group will be doing simple yet profound meditations that will improve one’s health – mentally, physically and spiritually.
Many people believe that they simply cannot meditate, and that is simply untrue. It is a matter of brain training. We’ve allowed our brains to run around like unruly toddlers for years and then suddenly expect to be able to meditate. This is unrealistic. This group will be a safe landing space to explore and learn.
Other people know how vital meditation is for health (even doctors are prescribing it!) yet they don’t set aside the time to do it because we all have busy lives. This group is perfect for them as well, as it will give dedicated space and time for them to engage in that part of themselves and their lives.
Join us for this magical time! You’ll be glad you did. The cost is a Donation of Appreciation if you choose.

Free Meditation Group
This meditation group will be doing simple yet profound meditations that will improve one’s health – mentally, physically and spiritually.
Many people believe that they simply cannot meditate, and that is simply untrue. It is a matter of brain training. We’ve allowed our brains to run around like unruly toddlers for years and then suddenly expect to be able to meditate. This is unrealistic. This group will be a safe landing space to explore and learn.
Other people know how vital meditation is for health (even doctors are prescribing it!) yet they don’t set aside the time to do it because we all have busy lives. This group is perfect for them as well, as it will give dedicated space and time for them to engage in that part of themselves and their lives.
Join us for this magical time! You’ll be glad you did. The cost is a Donation of Appreciation if you choose.

Seymour works at a run-down Skid Row florist shop. His hidden love for coworker Audrey is in full bloom, so when a mysterious Venus flytrap-like plant appears, Seymour names it Audrey II in her honor. When he accidentally discovers that the plant thrives on blood, suddenly Seymour has another secret. But this one may come back to bite him. This campy, black-comedy musical takes you somewhere that’s green – and gleefully gruesome. Don’t feed the plants!

When he accidentally discovers that the plant thrives on blood, suddenly Seymour has another secret. But this one may come back to bite him. This campy, black-comedy musical takes you somewhere that’s green – and gleefully gruesome. Don’t feed the plants!
