About Virginia BeatrizBack to Top
Hey!! I am Virginia! I worked as a nanny for a family friend, my niece and I am a godmother in Argentina. In Dublin I was working like live in au pair and childminder ( the kids are 4, 9, 10 years and the baby is 5 months) My work has always been complementary to my studies and other work in relation to my profession since I love both. The experience was beautiful and I want to feel again what one lives when surrounded by boys and their ingenious ideas. As for the children he cared for, they ranged from newborns to eight. I had to feed them, change their clothes, bathe them, take them to the garden and mainly play. That is what works best for my patience and because I have a very good relationship with them. My primary family (made up of my dad, mom, sister bigger than me and my younger brother) are coupled to what my friends say .. and I really mean that if something really characterizes me is my good mood, my Joy, sympathy and the eagerness with which I do things. I am from three brothers the middle daughter. My older sister is 29 years old and a sociologist, while my brother is 25 and he is a chef (thanks to him I do some delicious things .. although he is much better than my haha). My parents are called Mario and Silvia and they have 56 and 53 years respectively. He is a mechanical engineer and she is a professor of history and geography. For now I am 26 years old, I am a scorpio, and I received a degree in human resources management. In addition, I made several courses related to my profession and also while studying this race I took a bartender course. I had the possibility to work always of what I liked, that is why when I studied I was able to work as a bartender and as a nanny. Before I started I started to work in human resources and for a matter of time I had to leave a little the other two hobbies since I am very active and I like to do new things always and to be learning a little bit every day. Both my friends and family and I say that I am very sweet, affectionate and that when things are done with commitment, vocation and love come out better. Not to be so extensive, I want to conclude with what are my times not so free, haha, to which I devote myself to painting, reading, playing sports and trying to always be in nature. I really enjoy being outdoors, as with friends and traveling.

Horti Play Opens Experiential Plant Store in Greenpoint
The new Horti Play space at 70 Eckford St. (courtesy of Horti)
When the Greenpoint-based plant subscription service Horti started about two years ago co-founders Puneet Sabharwal and Bryana Sortino began shipping houseplants to friends and quickly found great interest from a growing network of aspiring green-thumbs.

Now that Horti's subscription-based business has taken off, Sabharwal and Sortino premiered their first brick and mortar location, Horti Play, at 70 Eckford St. two weeks ago pushing the boundaries to redefine what a retail plant shop can be.
Horti Play defines itself as an "experiential space, designed to help our community form connections with plants and also with plant-loving people."
"A lot of times people walk into plant stores and most of the decisions are based on transaction," said Sabharwal who said he was inspired to start his own business and improve his relationship to nature after spending "years behind the keyboard," at his former job.
The plants that Horti ships out to their subscribers come with care instructions to help novice-level gardeners' skill-sets grow with their plants.
Building upon the educational aspect, Sabharwal envisions Horti Play as space for people to learn new skills and share ideas.
Horti Play also works as Horti's office space, and subscribers have access to Horti Play during weekdays, while the general public can visit on the weekends for drop-ins or for classes and events. "We're not trying to push plants onto people," Sabharwal said.
Co-founders Puneet Sabharwal and Bryana Sortino (compliments of Horti)
Sabharwal spent the first 18 years of his life in Delhi, India and has lived in Greenpoint since 2011.
"I grew up on a commune basically, so this mentality of building a community is engrained in me. I'm not really a person that is constantly looking for transactional values, so I'm trying to minimize that aspect for our retail showroom as well, so that people don't feel like the only way to be in the space is with an exchange."
Horti Play features a selection of titles curated by Word bookstore.
To start to build relationships with the local business community, Sabharwal reached out Word bookstore who curates a special selection of books in the new shop and Bushwick Tea who provides the tea program.

Sabharwal is also seeking to bring artists into Horti Play for installations and shows; plant care classes are also planned.
"It will be more philosophical, more communal-based interactions and conversations," Sabharwal said adding that he would like to offer the Horti Play space up to the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research to host classes.
"I'm trying to figure out a model where people can come in for free," he said, adding that a free repotting class is in the works.
The opening weekend for Horti Play was on May 11th; keep an eye on their events page for future classes and drop-in on Saturdays and Sundays.

HQ Trivia announces sponsored games with Nike and Warner Bros partnerships
Bia Bezamat March 27, 2018
HQ Trivia
Gameshow app, HQ Trivia, which was founded by former Vine co-founder Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll and has gained millions of users since launching in August 2017, has announced its first brand partners, Nike and Warner Bros Studios.
The app, which hosts trivia-like shows twice-daily where users can compete to earn money, offers its Gen Z users the chance to participate in gamified experiences that brands are now beginning to leverage.
On Nike's Air Max Day celebration on March 26, the sportswear brand teamed up with the gaming app to sponsor a surprise bonus round with a $100,000 grand prize. The game also gave away 100 limited edition Nike x HQ Trivia Air Max shoes to lucky participants.
HQ Trivia x Nike Air Max
Meanwhile, according to AdAge, the Warner Bros deal is worth $3m and is set to promote three films, starting with Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One. Launching on Wednesday (March 28), the app will host a $250,000 game featuring questions related to the film.
By creating a 21st century version of traditional TV gameshows such as "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", HQ Trivia is playing on many aspects of how younger consumers engage digitally, such as constantly seeking new, one-off experiences that challenge them and give them a sense of having to 'work for it'.
The app itself, however, only comes to life twice a day and for 13 minutes at a time, which is the length of a game show. It's the perfect example of digestible yet scheduled programming – the opposite to the on-demand economy we'll all become accustomed. It's guaranteed at a specific moment in time, offering the same level of predictability that traditional TV used to. Shows are hosted live – often with guest hosts which have included Jimmy Kimmel – at 3pm and 9pm ET.
Prior to the sponsorship deals, its largest jackpot to date had been $50,000, and its record high for players in one game neared 2.2 million during this year's 90th Academy Awards on March 4.

All this excitement and buzz over the imminent Royal nuptials has me reminiscing about on my own wedding. I can't help but notice a plethora of similarities between my ceremony and this alleged "wedding of the century". See for yourself.
Many are speculating that Kate Middleton will be wearing a dress by Donna Karan. I, too, went with an American designer. My dress is by a prestigious design house called "White House Black Market."
I'm sure the royal wedding will be bursting with a multitude of A-listers; Elton John, The Osbournes, Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan, Amy Winehouse (actually, probably not Amy Winehouse.) Though much more intimate, our wedding also had an array of celebs.
My mom, best known for being the ex-girlfriend of Hollywood superstar, Gary Sinese, was obviously in attendance. Linda and the Forest Gump star split amicably 40 years ago while both students of Highland Park Elementary School.
My brother, Ryan Halpin, was also in attendance. Ryan was an integral member of the prestigious 2001 Franklin High School Prom Court.
I wonder what Kate and William's first song will be? Our first song, was also our last song....and middle song.....We only had one song! We made it count, however, by picking a timeless number and artist. "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce. The lyrics, "I could have another you in a minute" make it an nontraditional choice for weddings...but it was our fave song at the time (wasn't it everyone's?) so we decided to go with it.
"Waitey Katey" is what the British Media dubbed Kate Middleton due to the 8 year courtship to her Prince. My magic number was also 8! Though for me, it was 8 months, as opposed years. But "8", nevertheless!
Prince William and "Waity Katey"
 Despite the overt mimicking of our wedding, I'm not upset. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, is it not? So an official "Best Wishes" to Prince William and Kate from Yours Truly.
I had to laugh at your song choice....it made me think back to the song I wanted to use for our wedding - I Hate You Then I Love You by Celine Dion & Pavarotti...we decided against it because we were concerned that the parental units wouldn't get the cuteness or the humour of the song...lol...hadn't thought about that in a while.

'Judge Judy' Library Sale Sparks Profits Lawsuit
Courtesy of CBS
The suit claims two of the series' original producers are owed at least $4.75 million from the reported $95 million library sale to CBS.
Hollywood's highest paid judge, Judy Sheindlin, is being taken to court again over her massively lucrative television series.
Kaye Switzer and the Sandi Spreckman Trust are suing Big Ticket Television, CBS and Sheindlin, claiming they should have been paid at least $4.75 million when the court TV star sold the Judge Judy series library back to the network in 2017.
Switzer and Spreckman approached Sheindlin in the mid-'90s and pitched the then-family court judge the idea of taking her career to television. The producers left the series shortly after the ink was dry on the deal, and Spreckman died in 2009. According to a complaint filed Monday in L.A. County Superior Court, they were each promised compensation for the life of the series, even if they weren't contracted to continue producing it.
The new suit centers on events that would transpire nearly two decades after they first approached Sheindlin.
Big Ticket and CBS transferred the Judge Judy library to Sheindlin during 2015 negotiations for more episodes of the hit series, and she turned around and sold the library back to CBS in 2017 for more than $95 million, according to the complaint. Switzer and Spreckman's estate claim the producers should have received a share of that sale and didn't.
This suit follows a March 2016 complaint from Rebel Entertainment Partners, the successor-in-interest to the talent agency that packaged Judge Judy.
In Sheindlin's deposition testimony in that case, she refers to Switzer and Spreckman as "the girls" and talks about receiving a frantic call from the former after she was fired.
"At that time I really didn't know I had the power to say, 'You can't fire the girls,'" she said. "So I did what I was supposed to do contractually. I showed up for work the next week. The girls left the show sometime in late '95, early '96. Actually, the last time I saw the girls is when I testified on their behalf in a lawsuit. I've had limited communication with them."
Switzer and Spreckman's estate are suing for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and civil conspiracy, among other claims. They're seeking at least $4.75 million in damages plus a declaration of their rights under the contracts.
Sheindlin has not yet commented on the complaint, which is posted below.

Today, we planned some time out, at the Constitution Dock area in the city, where the Taste of Tasmania Festival is being held. This is also where the race yachts berth.
The Taste of Tasmania is an event that started about ten years ago, to take advantage of the drawcard of the finish of the Sydney-Hobart yacht race, and showcase Tasmania food, produce and wines.
I ate a very early lunch before we went, not being sure what I would find to like at the Taste stalls.
We drove to the Constitution Dock area, even managing to find a nearby parking place – much easier than I'd expected. Hobart is such a privileged city, like Sydney, having this dock area right at the centre of town. Here, of course, it is a very historic area, with some buildings dating from the early days of settlement.
We walked around a little and had a quick look at some of the race yachts. Could see the sailing ship "Young Endeavour" that acted as a radio ship for the race, coming in.
John was anxious to get into the Taste area, along Princes Wharf, on the southern side of the Dock area, to get his lunch! He bought a cooked quail, and after that, a "hot dog" roll, with a special kind of bratwurst type sausage in it. He had a Tasmanian apple cider; I had a coffee. We both had a delicious icecream.
Some of the food, and sampling menus on display, were really innovative and most attractive. However, I was reluctant to sample widely, being intolerant of reheated meat products. I also thought the conditions for preparation and storage were a bit dicey, here, though I was really tempted by some of the offerings at the Turkish stall!
After John ate, and we looked around, we walked back to the yachts for a proper look.
We watched "Hi Flyer" come in from the actual race, being towed to berth, so we did get to see a finisher of sorts! She was one of the smaller boats that had gotten caught in tough conditions down the east coast. She did well to get here at all – they looked rather relieved, I thought!
We looked at "Cadibarra 7", the ONLY yacht to finish this year's Melbourne to Hobart West Coaster race – she arrived earlier today. Now they had certainly had really atrocious conditions for sailing!
It was quite windy down at the Dock, and very cool – it will be a cold night for the festivities.
About 4pm, we drove back to the caravan park. The place was really crowded and the amenities was full of people getting ready to go out and party. I was glad we were staying in!
We had a light tea – John was still feeling full after his gourmet treats. Soup and salad only.
We watched football on TV – Carlton Vs Collingwood – a treat for John the Carlton follower. It was a special Millennium match, put on out of season. Carlton won by miles. I read for most of it!
Just before midnight, we opened a bottle of sparkling burgundy – it was a Xmas present from me to John, as he really likes it. Toasted the coming Year 2000, as midnight ticked over. The world did not end!
We walked up to the top of the hill, with our glasses of wine, from where we could see quite a bit of the fireworks display in central Hobart. It was cold up there and we did not stay too long.
We continued to watch New Year TV coverages, until about 1.30am. The TV still worked. There did not seem to be any disasters, we think the world is still out there!
We did not win the $21million, but did get a bottom division win on our ticket, and also on the syndicate one.
We hope it will be a great year of travelling to come, in 2000 – and that life will continue to be good to us in the 21st century.
* Dearest accommodation: $64.80 – motel Alice Springs; $26 powered site Yulara. Cabin on Spirit of Tasmania – ??

Policy - Agreement
Big company vs. small town governor
2019 | April | 018
Resource-rich countries have found a solution to sharing the burden of their budget shortcomings with mining companies, resulting in numerous benefits. The "Community Partnership Agreement" was officially introduced in Mongolia and has been stipulated by law since 2015. Unfortunately, this solution may prove counter-productive and even become one of the biggest challenges in the future.
The first and most successful attempt was made in cooperation with Oyu Tolgoi LLC in Umnugobi Province through the Partnership Agreement. Under this multi-stakeholder agreement that relies on the mining giant, Oyu Tolgoi has made over USD five million in investments in Umnugobi Province every year. The responsibility of organizing and overseeing the process of awarding contracts, which will be funded and implemented by this investment, and subsequently reporting on its progress was delegated to the "Gobi Oyu Development Support Fund" NGO, established with the local administration. Both parties concur that the agreement has significantly improved the lifestyle and business environment in the soums of Dalanzadgad and Khanbogd, and Oyu Tolgoi eagerly shares this positive experience with other companies operating in Mongolia.
However, the Partnership Agreement method seems oversized for other soums. B.Sambuu, Governor of Tuv Province, speaks proudly about the establishment of the "Zaamar Region Development Fund" NGO. It was modeled on the Gobi Oyu Development Fund NGO. "A benchmark sum was set on the money invested from mining companies. For instance, a minimum of MNT 100 million from companies licensed to mine and MNT 50 million from companies licensed to explore. Although it may seem like a large amount, it is next to nothing compared to their revenues from selling the resources of these lands," he added.
Meanwhile, someone who speaks of another "good" and "right" fund established in Khovd Province is scrutinizing the methods of the Governor of Zaamar. The "Khushuut Development Fund" has a similar purpose and content as the Zaamar fund. However, according to Kh.Baasankhuu, a Specialist at the Investment and Development Policy Planning Department of the Governor's Office of Khovd Province, the latter fund was established as a local NGO that collects and spends money invested by companies, which means that first, this can be constituted as bribery, and second, having a budget with unregulated spending is not lawful. The Khushuut Development Fund is financed through the agreement signed with MonEnCo LLC, which operates at the Khushuut mine in Khovd Province. The main difference is that the funds received are pooled into the provincial budget, and its spending is discussed and approved by the Citizens' Representatives' Council (CRC).
At the same time, people were not happy that the Partnership Agreement was signed with the provincial administration, as it lowers benefits to the development of citizens and the soum within the mine's area of impact. "I have raised on several occasions the need for a flood dam for our soum. But they built a playground instead," says N.Narantugs, a CRC representative from Dornogobi Province. "We are not being heard. The principle of listening to the people is mentioned in all the rules and procedures. But it's only on paper," he criticized.
B.Sambuu expressed his opposition to signing the Partnership Agreement with the provincial governor's office, explaining that by giving the power to the provincial administration, not enough money is allocated to the soums. He added that the Zaamar Development Fund could not receive funds from several companies this year, but that they will "for sure." The local "authorities" seem to think they have struck gold out of nowhere with the Partnership Agreement. As Kh.Baasankhuu points out, "the bigger a team we can put at the negotiation table, the bigger the amount we can sign regarding the agreement." There was even an attempt in Sukhbaatar Province to concentrate the investment money in the Local Development Fund and increase it through small and medium enterprise loans. However, it was eventually stopped due to violations of certain provisions of the Law on Anti-Corruption.
I have raised on several occasions the need for a flood dam for our soum. But they built a playground instead," says N.Narantugs
In the case of Khovd Province, the practice is to allocate 30 percent of the money concentrated in the Fund to the soums where mines operate and the remainder to other soums equally. Unfortunately, the expectation that giving power to the provincial authorities could improve spending is yet to be met. In Bulgan Province, the Social Responsibility Agreement signed between Uguuj Bayan Khangai LLC and the Governor's Office of Buregkhangai soum in 2016 stipulated to invest MNT 63 million into four commitments, including "Connecting the new apartment complex to central heating, portable water and sanitation lines" and "Renovating the old hot water facility into a fitness center and connecting it to water and heating systems." The following year, a Partnership Agreement on Local Development Support was signed with the Governor's Office of Bulgan Province. Although this agreement has more detailed provisions than the former, it was agreed only to "Make amendments to and re-publish the province encyclopedia" in anticipation of the 80th anniversary of Bulgan Province, without specifying any budget.
Thanks to the efforts by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) to systemize the reporting process within the minerals industry, we are now able to access and read the various contracts signed at the local level. Currently, 436 contracts are registered on the website www.iltodgeree.mn ("transparent agreement"). By making these and other concealed contracts open to the public, they provide valuable information for understanding and untangling these complex relationships.
In the end, leaving local agreements without proper regulation or providing local administrations with enough legal loopholes to arrange their own management resulted in this messy, confusing and uncontrolled situation. While each of these individual practices or experiences may have its own benefits and can be considered an improvement to some extent, it all depends on the soum and provincial administrations whether these solutions have positive or negative impacts. What is more, projects that span multiple provinces may become even more challenging.
Mining-concentrated local communities are expected to receive more money in the future. From this year, 50 percent of the exploration license fee will be concentrated into the local budget. This will be increased to 100 percent in the following year, and 10 percent of royalties will be paid to respective local governments. Residents and miners hope that this investment goes towards public wellbeing and other essential projects. This will ease the tension between locals and companies, create mutual understanding and make solutions easier to reach. Regrettably, the reality is that local residents do not possess the power to influence decisions regarding these investments, namely concerning whether money is being spent efficiently and for appropriate needs. Hence, it is time for the government to address this issue more seriously and establish specific regulations.

In the spotlight this week is Ramzeen Mohamed Sakkaf who has used WhatsApp to great effect in his role as course rep for Level 1 Visual Effects and Motion Graphics.
Finding it hard to engage face to face, Ramzeen created two WhatsApp groups: One featuring everyone on his course and another including all Level 1 Visual Effects & Motion Graphics and Digital Designs Course Reps.
Ramzeen notes that having a WhatsApp group with his course mates has enabled him to more effectively understand their concerns as many students have used the group to get in touch with him about issues they were having on the course. It has also worked the other way, enabling Ramzeen be able to more effectively communicate important information to his course mates. For example, the group enabled him to help make students on his course aware that the study areas in his department (Tower C and the Green Room) were open for 24 hours a day.
The Student Rep WhatsApp group has enabled reps to more effectively share the concerns of their course mates with each other, making it easier to identify problems affecting students across the department.
Ramzeen says that using WhatsApp has come in handy in Student Experience Committee and Board of Studies meetings, as the group provides him (as well as fellow student reps in his department) with written evidence of what students wish to see changed. He notes that such evidence has helped him work with his lecturers to improve the clarity of assignment briefs.

The 1689 Brașov fire took place in the town of Brassó in the Principality of Transylvania (now Brașov, in Romania; German Kronstadt). It broke out on the afternoon of 21 April in the lower (i.e. southwestern) parts of Burggasse and Schwarzgasse streets (today Str. Castelului and Str. Nicolae Bălcescu). Spread by a powerful wind, it soon engulfed the entire part of the town facing the Tâmpa mountain. Local fires also appeared in Roßmarkt (today Str. George Barițiu) and Purzengasse (today Str. Republicii). Within a few hours, the entire town was in flames. The White Tower, the Black Tower, the Council House and the Black Church were all damaged. Church services were held outdoors for a long time. Johannes Honter's renowned library also perished.

Some people claim that the blaze was set deliberately by Habsburg troops during the Great Turkish War as a revenge for the Ottomans burning parts of Vienna. After the fire in 1689, the Ottoman Army garrison fled the town.

Around 300 people died, the town was practically destroyed and its economic power was severed. For years, Kronstadt remained a ruin city blackened by smoke with a lingering penetrating smell. Most houses were of wood, which facilitated the spread of flames. Moreover, water was scarce in the mountain town. Subsequently, the authorities banned wooden houses, which is why the historic center of Brașov features only stone and brick houses. Reconstruction of the city took over many decades.

A common misconception is that the Black Church got its name because it was sooted by the fire. However, 21st century studies have found no layers of fire destruction; the church has blackened simply because of environmental pollution after Brașov has turned into an industrial city. Furthermore, the name "Black Church" was not used until the end of the 19th century.

The Truth-Revealing Power of Courts
By Mark Satta
On 22 February, 2021
In Democracy, General, Public Philosophy

Lots of people in the United States (and elsewhere) are pessimistic about their ability to distinguish the truth from falsehoods. This is perhaps unsurprising given the relentless attack on truth that the United States experienced during the previous presidential administration.
As one observer recently put it: "There's so much information that's biased, that no one believes anything. There is so much out there and you don't know what to believe, so it's like there is nothing."
Given all the uncertainty, polarization, and misinformation people have experience worldwide recently, this is an understandable reaction. Still, it's troubling. It is hard for individuals or societies to function well without reliable access to truth.
No single solution will fix all of such epistemic challenges. Still, I think we can make meaningful progress by broadening our focus beyond just who or what to believe, to consider when we should believe.
Sometimes answering the question "When should I believe someone?" is enough to help dispel a fog of confusion. The reason why is rooted in common sense: people are more likely to be honest under some circumstances as opposed to others.
This is why we often think that what someone says is private is more likely to be true than what they say in public. And it is why we are apt to believe a person's private claims over their public claims when their claims conflict.
My suggestion is that we can harness this bit of common sense to better discern the truth. Of course, we often cannot compare a person's public statements to their private ones. It is precisely because people expect their private claims to be kept private that they tend to be more honest in private settings.
In order for my suggestion to be useful, we must identify times when people's publicly available statements are most likely to be true. One type of time immediately comes to mind: when someone is communicating with a court of law.
Often, the consequences of getting caught in a lie are small. But this is not so in a courtroom. Those under oath risk criminal charges for lying. And lawyers, regardless of whether they are under oath, risk disbarment or other sanctions if caught lying in court.
Thus, as a general rule, we should be more inclined to believe that someone is telling the truth when they are speaking in court or have written something that has been submitted to a court.
Of course, this method is not perfect. People still lie in court. And lawyers frame the facts in a way that will be favorable to their clients. Still, the legal process is designed to root out lies.
Kenji Yoshino, the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at NYU School of Law, has noted the power of courts in this regard in his book Speak Now: Marriage Equality on Trial.
Yoshino writes that "[s]tatistical claims that circulate for years in the mainstream political arena can be refuted in a matter of minutes on the stand" and that the greatest strength of the U.S. court system generally "is an obsessive commitment to factual accuracy."
We all can benefit from a court system's commitment to factual accuracy, if we know how to do so. Thankfully, the internet has made it easier and cheaper to find many legal documents online. This is true for many jurisdictions around the world that seek to uncover the truth through judicial proceedings.
Thus, when there is a court case about a contentious public issue, one way to seek clarity is to look at the available legal documents.
If you're looking for a quicker way to vet news sources, pay attention to which news sources make it easy for you to fact check their claims by linking to court documents. If you find that certain news sources are consistently reliable in their reporting of court cases, this provides you with additional epistemic grounds to believe reporting from those sources in the future. This can allow one to create a sturdier epistemic framework from which to engage the world.
So whether its sorting out claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election, or determining if you ought to treat a political commentator's claims as fact, be more inclined to believe and rely on claims when they've held up in court.

It is not enough to listen carefully – we also have to identify who is not in the epistemic room

Renowned musician, composer and conductor, Gregory Singer will discuss different aspects of his distinguished musical career in a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities of the life of a musician. His presentation will include live and multi-media musical examples; and will be followed by what promises to be a lively Q&A. Mr. Singer encourages all and any questions related to the profession of musician.
Gregory Singer is a uniquely gifted violinist and conductor who combines distinguished artistry with an enjoyment for dramatic interpretations of the great classics. As the son of the well-known conductor, Jacques Singer, he grew up surrounded by wonderful music and legendary artists, inspiring a passion to continue the rich tradition in which he was raised. Following studies as a violinist at the Juilliard School, he began to receive frequent conducting engagements, and in 2005 founded the Manhattan Symphonie.
As the music director of the orchestra, he has performed numerous concerts at prestigious American venues, including sold-out concerts at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Under his baton, the Manhattan Symphonie was chosen as special cultural ambassadors in 2009 to celebrate the thirty-year anniversary of Sino-American relations. These included five return engagements to China since their initial tour.
Maestro Singer has been acclaimed as an eclectic composer of many musical styles, including Classical, Jazz, and Bluegrass. This year marked his Italian debut as a guest conductor at the Ancona Festival, near Rome. Last year he was a guest conductor in St. Petersburg, Russia, where he premiered his composition "Memorial Processional" dedicated to the fallen of Leningrad during the Second World War. Gregory Singer's philosophy is summed up simply: "Great music is my passion…" His next concert will be July 1st 2018 in Manhattan.
He is also the owner of Gregory Singer Fine Violins, a violin store whose collection ranges from 18th Century Italian instruments to contemporary violins.
The picture on the top is from the time I was a guest conductor in Italy and the first violist was translating into Italian what I was saying (in english) to the audience in Italian. You can see the female violinist and a few woodwind players smirking at my pompous egocentric words about how "this was my first concert conducting on the European continent" etc. They look like they are hiding their faces, because they couldn't contain themselves.
Perhaps the violist was translating in a funny way. It looks so funny when I see the picture. They are all pressing their lips together not to show any teeth of a smile. All, trying to look dignified. I love it. They are such professionals. They were very nice to me. The concertmaster was a terrific violinist as well, the principle cellist was also terrific.
I will show some videos of a few concerts and play a little bit of violin and then answer questions.

'The Cros in the Markitte Stede'. The Louth Cross, its Monastery and its Town
Tuesday, 9th March 2021 7:30pm by Paul Everson & David Stocker
Paul Everson began his career working for the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments in Lincolnshire in the 1970s and, although his role encompassed the whole of England by the time of his retirement from the State Archaeology Service as Head of Archaeological Survey in 2006 (then called English Heritage), he has retained a strong research interest in matters Lincolnshire – often working in conjunction with David Stocker.
David Stocker's career began in York, before he moved to Lincolnshire in 1980 to work for archaeology and heritage organisations. He then joined the newly-formed English Heritage, from which he retired in 2012. His research interests have also had a Lincolnshire focus and our speakers have co-authored articles and books on the county's medieval archaeology. Amongst these, the best known are: Summoning St Michael. Early Romanesque Towers in Lincolnshire (2006); Custodians of Continuity. Barlings Abbey and the Landscape of Ritual (2011); and The Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture Volume V: Lincolnshire (1999). They published their research on this important early-sculpture find at Louth in Medieval Archaeology Volume 61/2, 2017.
In 2015, the discovery of two fragments from a major pre-Conquest stone cross-shaft at Louth prompted, not just a description and assessment of the sculpture, but also an exploration of the evolution of the early monastery here and of the town itself. We suggested that this impressive monument was erected as an emblematic market cross, which marked the bishop of Lindsey's mid-10th-century promotion of a market and market town at Louth, as part of his effort to re-establish himself in the region after the Viking destruction of the monastery.
Railways at War
Tuesday, 16th March 2021 7:30pm by Alan Stennett
Alan is the son of a Lincolnshire farmer who has worked for the BBC since 1964. He was a founder member of BBC Radio Lincolnshire, and continues to produce a weekly farming programme for the station. He has written ten books on Lincolnshire subjects, including farming, railways and the Lincolnshire Regiment in the 2nd Boer War.
The invention of railways allowed large quantities of troops and supplies to be moved in support of military action, but also provided new targets for regular and irregular forces. In this talk Alan considers how railways have been used in conflicts from the Crimean War to WWII and beyond.
Dykes and Early Mediaeval Warfare
Tuesday, 23rd March 2021 7:30pm by Dr Erik Grigg
Erik studied early mediaeval earthworks for his PhD at the University of Manchester and worked in the Heritage Service for Lincolnshire County Council for 12 years. He now lectures in history (and sometimes archaeology) at Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln
His talk looks at the evidence for early mediaeval warfare concluding that it was characterised by raiding rather than pitched battles. Many of the large earthworks that snake across the British landscape like Wansdyke are possibly attempts to stop raids.
The Dalby Autochromes: Early Colour Photography in Lincolnshire
Tuesday, 30th March 2021 7:30pm by Ray Emery
Ray is a retired lecturer & administrator in Further Education & Adult Education. He lectures in Social Sciences, Photography and Astronomy.
In the drawer of a piece of stored furniture at Dalby an unexpected find was made: a number of pre-First World War colour photographs on glass plates. Our speaker will tell us the history of the Autochrome process, and reveal the puzzle of the glorious Dalby views. Some images seem to be of a house now lost – see if you can help us identify them!
The Curious Case of the Hidden Houses; RUBL and Lincoln Lane Farmhouse, Sixhills
Tuesday, 6th April 2021 7:30pm by Jenne Pape
Having grown up in Chichester and then enjoyed a training dig at Fishbourne Roman Palace, Jenne had been bitten by the archaeology bug and so read History with Archaeology at Bangor. She joined the RAF on graduating and spent six and a half years as a Fighter Controller, mostly in the north east of England. When she left the RAF on the birth of her son, she was offered retraining, so did a PGC in landscape and buildings archaeology. Having surveyed a mud and stud cottage for her final project, she met some of the members of RUBL at a Vernacular Architecture Group conference, and since then has been heavily involved in their work around the county. She has balanced full time parenting, volunteering and archaeology ever since. She specialises in the rural vernacular timber framed buildings of Lincolnshire, and is happiest when covered in dust in a forgotten attic surrounded by ancient timbers!
Lincoln Lane Farmhouse, in Sixhills, is a remarkable building. RUBL, the building recording group of the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, were fortunate to be invited to survey the building by Christopher Heneage, the owner, but neither they nor he could have guessed what they would find. The project turned into the most complex investigation RUBL have yet undertaken, involving experimental techniques and producing evidence of not just the house as it currently stands, but two earlier houses, hidden within the building. The talk will briefly introduce RUBL and the work they do, and then tell the story of this captivating building.
Louth's Parish Guilds & the Building of St James' Spire: Popular Piety in Late Mediaeval Lincolnshire
Tuesday, 13th April 2021 7:30pm by Dr Claire Kennan
Dr Claire Kennan specialises in the social history of Britain between 1300 and 1550, with a particular focus on mediaeval religion, urban centres, local history, trade and guilds. Claire completed her PhD entitled 'Guilds and Society in Louth, Lincolnshire c. 1450-1550 in 2018. She is currently working on a proposal to turn her doctoral thesis into her first book along with researching Lincolnshire's Corpus Christi guilds and editing the 1389 Lincolnshire guild returns for publication. Claire's research has been used for collaborative work with The National Archives, the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 and BBC Radio 4. She has taught Mediaeval History at King's College London and Royal Holloway, University of London. In 2019 Claire was one of the AHRC's Creative Economy Engagement Fellows at The National Archives (London) and between 2017 and 2020 she was the Mediaeval Specialist on the £1 million National Lottery Heritage funded Citizens Project. She is currently the Heritage and Creativity Impact Development Manager at the University of Reading and the Digital Engagement Fellow for the British Association for Local History. She is also the co-editor of the Brepols Series, "Reinterpreting the Middle Ages: From Mediaeval to Neo".
Louth St James's church has the tallest mediaeval spire in England, yet without the assistance of the town's parish guilds and churchwardens this spectacular spire may never have existed. St James's was the physical and spiritual focus of life in the town. This talk will trace the important role that the town's major guilds of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Holy Trinity played in the building of the spire, completed in 1515. The myriad ways in which these two guilds managed and maintained various aspects of town and parish life will also be explored.
Little Carlton, Lincolnshire & the Early Mediaeval 'Productive Site'
Tuesday, 20th April 2021 7:30pm by Dr Duncan Wright FSA
Duncan is currently lecturer in Mediaeval Archaeology at Newcastle University but previously spent several years as senior lecturer and programme leader in Archaeology and Heritage at Bishop Grosseteste University. He is a mediaevalist specialising in settlement, landscape, and conflict, and is particularly interested in the archaeology of north-west Europe. Duncan's work often marries documentary, anthropological, and topographic material, with archaeological data to explore the articulation of power and authority in the mediaeval landscape. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Exeter.
In March 2016 the village of Little Carlton hit the headlines in the national press when a Louth metal detectorist discovered rare and unusual Anglo-Saxon treasures in a marshy field in the village. It seems that Little Carlton was the site of an important seventh-century trading and religious centre; one of the most important, high-status, Anglo-Saxon settlements in the country.
Duncan is part of the team of academics who have been trying to unravel the Little Carlton enigma and this talk will bring his latest ideas and theories on the origins and functions of this special place.
Spalding Gentlemen's Society and Its Collections 1710-202'0
Tuesday, 27th April 2021 7:30pm by Dr Dustin Frasier Wood
Dustin Frazier Wood is the Librarian and Archivist at the Spalding Gentlemen's Society, and Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities at the University of Roehampton. His research interests include Anglo-Saxon studies, antiquarianism, the history of collections, and cultural heritage. In addition to his work with SGS, Dustin is currently collaborating with the Society of Antiquaries of London, Kew Gardens, U3A and Museum Development East Midlands on a range of archive-based projects.
The Spalding Gentlemen's Society (SGS) is Britain's oldest provincial learned society and its second-oldest museum, after the Ashmolean in Oxford. From their first meetings in a Spalding coffee house in 1710 members of SGS have focused their efforts on developing and maintaining extensive library, archive and museum collections for the benefit of members and the public. Recent research on the collections has allowed us to begin reconstructing the earliest SGS museum space in what is thought to be the most complete, detailed record of any collection in the English-speaking world. This talk will explore the SGS collections in the 18th century and chart their development to the present day, considering how the SGS's approach to collecting and using artefacts, books, manuscripts and other items continues to shape the Society and its engagement with the world.

Traffic backed up after a commercial vehicle flipped on Big White Road on April 14, 2019.
Ice and snow covered roads are causing difficult driving conditions near Big White Ski Resort and have resulted in two early morning crashes on Sunday.
A commercial trailer flipped over on Highway 33, south of Big White Road at about 9 a.m. and also an SUV drove into a ditch off Big White Road just after 9:05 a.m.
Big White V-P Michael J. Ballingall says people need to be driving safely and must have their winter tires on.
Ballingall says the road have been plowed and sanded, but people need to drive safely.
A bus full of teenagers under the age of 19 was travelling on Big White Road and rolled over on Saturday. Six people were taken to hospital with minor injuries and the road was closed on Sunday, but reopened shortly after.
If you are travelling in mountain passes, winter tires are mandatory until April 30.
Big White Ski resort received over 14 cm of snow in just 24 hours, according to Ballingall.
Another crash has forced Big White Road to be closed on Sunday morning.
Reports from the scene indicate a commercial truck tipped over just before 9 a.m. and is blocking Big White Road.
A bus travelling on Big White Road rolled over on Saturday and six people were taken to hospital with minor injuries. The road was closed on Sunday, but reopened shortly after.
Castanet reporter Nicholas Johansen says traffic is backed up and people are turning around.
"The road is extremely slippery and it snowed a bit last night," said Johansen.
It appears the crash occurred about eight kilometres from the Highway 33 junction.

Preservation students tour city's historic 'Herdic Row'
11.13.2019 Architecture & Sustainable Design, Construction & Design Technologies, Faculty & Staff, Students
Classmates stand outside the Peter Herdic House Restaurant, among the impressive Victorian structures that form Williamsport's Millionaires' Row.
An architectural detail catches the camera's eye.
Liz Miele and Hannah Ramsauer recently hosted Historic Preservation (BSD410) students on a site visit to the adjacent properties that comprise "Herdic Row" in Williamsport: the Peter Herdic House restaurant, Peter Herdic Inn and a third building that was recently purchased by the Miele family.
"It is always so valuable to get the students out of the classroom to reinforce topics discussed in class," said Rob A. Wozniak, an associate professor of architectural technology (who also provided photos). "While on site, Ms. Ramsauer shared her love for the history, including some of what was done to restore the structures."
The restaurant, at 407 W. Fourth St., is the original home of Herdic – at the forefront of making Williamsport "the lumber capital of the world" – and was constructed in 1854-55. Due to fire and a midcentury storefront addition, much work was done to restore the Italianate "suburban villa," including the recreation of the cupola and the unique stair and balustrade that form the keyhole detail. The inn, next-door at 411 W. Fourth Street, offers multiple guest rooms with quality Craftsman-style detailing.
The latest acquisition, at 419 W. Fourth St., is under interior rehabilitation. It, too, had a midcentury storefront added to it; that was removed about two years ago and the original Italianate facade was restored.
The three-credit Historic Preservation course, offered within the four-year building science and sustainable design major, is a lecture-based offering that provides an introduction to concepts of preservation and adaptive reuse of buildings. "Emphasis is on materials, construction techniques, building systems, economics and various resources," Wozniak noted, "so to emphasize the value and importance these buildings play in our communities, while understanding that the 'greenest building is the one that already exists.' Touring these and others throughout the semester offers students the ability to appreciate this."

Cache protocol for error detection and recovery in fault-tolerant computing systems
Chung-Ho Chen, Arun K. Somani
We propose an error detection and recovery protocol for redundant processor systems employing caches. The protocol allows cache-based systems to vote more often and thereby reduce the chance of losing synchronization. The scheme is based on cache data broadcasting of a dirty line after modification. The scheme effectively exploits the redundancy of a fault-tolerant system using hardware voting. It recovers from erroneous data written by a processor and thus remedies the insufficiency of error-correcting codes. The protocol can also be used to speedup resynchronization process for a temporarily failed processor in a redundant system. More than 60% of cache lines are fully covered for recovery due to errors originated from the cache itself, including unrecoverable ECC errors. The performance overhead is to broadcast only 2-3% of the total memory references.

All sessions are free! Free-will offerings are gratefully accepted.


Whether it's a personal loan, a car loan, or a mortgage, banks use a handful of criteria when deciding to lend you money. In most cases, banks might be hard to please about your qualifications especially your credit score. If you're looking to apply for a loan, read on this article to learn the most fundamental characteristics that a bank considers from the very beginning.
When it comes to loan applications, banks will surely want to review your personal credit history. That said, it's essential to obtain a credit report on yourself before you proceed with your credit application. The good thing about getting a report in advance is that you can learn about any inaccuracies and correct them before any damage might happen. Try to figure out which credit reporting company your prospective bank uses and ask a report from them.
You should remember that a loan by its nature is something you borrow and must be paid back. Apart from your credit score, the bank will assess how much money you make every month which means that any income you'll earn will be considered. In most cases, you'll have higher chances of approval if your monthly debt payments are less than 40-50 percent of your income. Banks will check your monthly income against your existing debts from other loans, as well as housing or utility bills. Hence, your prospective bank will more likely grant your loan if you have a sufficient amount of money to cover your monthly expenses.
Ideally, having a history of stable employment will also affect the approval of your loan application. That's because banks and other lending companies will want to see that you have a capacity to pay off your debts. If you've jumped from one job to another or you're self-employed, you might deal with a stressful battle before you get your application approved. Moreover, you need to understand that working for yourself will not bar your application, but you might have to furnish more documents to prove you're a qualified candidate for a loan.
When you're applying for a secured loan like an auto or home loan, you have to give something as collateral. It's property that's used to obtain a loan, and it might be seized in the event you fail to repay your installments on the loan. However, several banks will assess the value of the collateral you pledge. Then, they'll subtract any existing debt from the value of the collateral, and the remaining amount will be an essential factor in the bank's decision. So, make sure you have a guarantee ready before securing a secured loan.
If you apply for a personal loan, you also need to take your banking activity into account. While it doesn't show up directly on your credit report, it might still impact your chances of getting your loan approved. Thus, if you overdraw your account, make excessive withdrawals, and rack up multiple fees, it can be a red flag that you should be wary of.
Your prospective bank might want to learn your loan's purpose. Whether it's used to buy a vehicle or other property, the bank will still consider how you'd like to use the money. Additionally, be ready as the bank might consider other factors like economic and environmental conditions before making a decision. If you're looking for personal banking solutions that suit your needs, you can click here for more information.
Applying for a personal loan means you should sell yourself well to your bank. In other words, most banks will evaluate your character through references from professionals who have checked your proposals, referrals by some respected community members, involvement in the community, and a past relationship with banks or lenders. If you want a loan approval, make sure you improve your character in front of the bank.
Securing a loan from a bank can be a stressful process. Sometimes, banks will reject your application due to several factors. So, keep these considerations in mind as it helps you to understand how a loan application process works.

J. D. Shatford Memorial Public Library
About, current page
50th Anniversary Stories
J.D. Shatford Memorial Public Library is a cozy meeting place in the picturesque village of Hubbards. Built in 1969, generations of families in the tight-knit communities along the South Shore have grown up with the Library, and continue to support our many activities and events.
Whether you're a local on a first-name-basis with us or one of the many tourists who visit during the summer, you'll be able to:
Enjoy our 1-room, open concept space with comfortable seating and enviable views of the Atlantic ocean through large windows.
Lounge on the outdoor patio and spacious lawn—a popular gathering place in the warmer months.
Use our public photocopier, access the internet, and work on our public computers or a Chromebook.
We make the most of our open hours and small space by offering at least one event on the days that we're open—transforming our Library from a quiet reading space to a movie theatre, a children's play area, a games room, or even a lecture hall.
On a typical day, you might find:
Toddlers painting, playing, or enjoying a puppet show.
School children being tutored, doing homework, playing games online, or using iPads.
People sitting on the patio using free WiFi (whether we're open or closed).
Parents drinking coffee while their children play.
Seniors getting 1-on-1 help with technology.
People enjoying a round of Scrabble or other board games.
School or daycare classes picnicking on the lawn (weather permitting!).
J.D. Shatford opened in 1969 on the site of the Gainsborough Hotel.
The building was made possible by the generous donation of the J.D. Shatford Memorial Trust and dedicated to "the service of this community."

Walter P Moore understands that creating a sustainable built environment is one of the foremost challenges of our generation. We embrace our responsibility and welcome the challenge to develop integrated solutions for high-performance buildings and infrastructure that use our resources responsibly. We welcome an active role in the design process and while we are prepared to provide solutions within the bounds of current rating systems, we prefer the challenge of transformation and addressing those beyond the current checklist.
We educate ourselves, our clients, and our peers on innovative and elegant solutions that reduce our environmental impact. Our goal is to practice sustainable design in a way that benefits our community, our environment, our clients, and our business.
Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) is an environmental accounting technique that helps designers understand the environmental impacts, such as global warming potential, acidification, or ozone depletion, on building materials and assemblies. It allows teams to make quantitative comparisons between multiple systems and understand what components within a system can make significant impacts. Walter P Moore is a nationally recognized expert in WBLCA and is well-versed in multiple WBLCA software platforms and methodologies. We participated in both LEED WBLCA Pilot Credits and are leading the analysis and documentation for the first project in the nation to pursue the LEED v4 WBLCA credit.
One of the initial adopters of Low Impact Development (LID) concepts in Harris County, Walter P Moore has helped define the LID design parameters for this region. Our LID projects range from small site landscape applications such as the historic Hermann Park in Houston, to the master plan for Springwoods Village, an 1,800 acre mixed use development where LID concepts have been used to create the development guidelines. Walter P Moore continues to set the bar with award winning Low Impact Development projects such as the Bagby Street redevelopment project, which was the first project in Texas to achieve certification under the Greenroads® Foundation sustainable roadways program.
Disaster Resilience is an essential component of sustainable design, and nearly every region is subject to extreme events. By designing a structure or system to higher performance criteria, we protect not only the building and its contents, but also the embodied energy and impacts of constructing of the building. Walter P Moore is an industry leader implementing Performance-Based Design (PBD) methods for both new design and retrofit of existing structures. PBD allows us to better predict building performance, provide more economical designs, and assess extreme building performance when the prescriptive provisions of the building code just do not apply.
While LEED certification is not available for parking garages, Walter P Moore is an early adopter of the Parksmart Certification (formerly Green Garage Certification), the world's only rating system defining and recognizing sustainable practices in parking structure management, programming, design and technology. Fewer than 200 people in the US are certified as Parksmart Assessors, and Walter P Moore is proud to be one of the few firms with certified designers. We analyze existing or new parking facilities to determine if they qualify as a Parksmart Garage, and guide our clients through the certification process.


Well, we actually started picking a week ago and opened our pick your own here in Greenbank on the 21st. Getting the berries into the market and getting set up for pick your own wiped away any thought of blogging about them.
We have an amazing crop of strawberries this year. There was no late frost so we were able to harvest our Wendy variety. Today we started picking Jewels, a nice sweet berry with a bit lighter red colouring than the Cavendish.
The rainy weather has put a damper on the pick your own but we've been slogging through and remained open here in Greenbank in spite of the weather. Sunday looks like a good weather forecast so we expect to be busy. Our season will extend another week at least and possibly two more. These cool nights slow down the ripening so they're not all ready at once. That's a good thing.
We've got lot's of fresh picked berries in Markham.
The sweet peas are available for pick your own in Greenbank now and our patch in Markham will be starting by the long weekend. They're sweet, sweet, sweet ….
Let's hope that next week's weather will be kinder to the pickers. Hope to see you soon.
