The Town of Southampton Landmarks and Historic Districts Board was formed in 1998 Pursuant to Southampton Town Code Chapter 330, Article XXVIII. The Landmarks and Historic Districts Board consists of nine town residents appointed by the Town Board with experience in architecture, architectural history, archaeology, local history, law, historic preservation, and/or real estate. All board members have demonstrated significant interest in and commitment to historic preservation and have interests in historic, cultural, and architectural development within the Town of Southampton. Board members serve a three-year term and may serve for more than one term. The Town Board annually selects the chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary.
The official duties and responsibilities of the Landmarks and Historic Districts Board include:
Conducting surveys of significant historic, architectural and cultural landmarks and historic districts within the town
Recommending designation of significant historic, architectural and cultural landmarks and the establishment of historic districts to the Town Board
Increasing public awareness of the value of historic, cultural and architectural preservation by developing, implementing and participating in public education programs
Making recommendations to the Town Board concerning the donation or acquisition of facade easements, development rights or other interests in real property
Making recommendations to the Town Board concerning the utilization of state or private funds to promote the preservation of landmarks and historic districts within the town
Recommending acquisition of a landmark structure to the Town Board where the structure's preservation is essential and where private preservation is not feasible
Making recommendations to the Town Board regarding staff and professional consultants necessary to assist the Board
Engaging in opportunities for professional development
Approving or disapproving applications for Certificates of Appropriateness
The Board reviews demolition and construction permit applications which are submitted through the Town Building Department, for structures built before 1941 or those that are recognized historic resources. In addition, the Board also reviews and comments on subdivision applications and other proposed development when requested by the Town Planning Department or Zoning Board of Appeals. A Cultural Resources Sub-Committee of the board has also been established to provide review and input for archaeological surveys submitted to the town.


The Many Mini-Adventures of the Wards: "Love, it seems like only ye-ster-day..."
Prepping for Valentine's Day was so much fun! - cutting out paper hearts, buying candy and more candy, and making handmade valentines for all the kids.
Here's the centerpiece for the kitchen table.
Hanging paper hearts from the chandelier put us in the mood.
Simple touches like heart garland from the dollar store make me so happy.
The kids felt like it was a party all day long. I hope they all felt special and loved. They were a little kinder, a little more helpful and there was little to no crying. Imagine that! I HEART Valentine's Day.
Bonus Question: The title of this post comes from what Disney movie?
you always do it up for all the holidays, I've got to remember how cute and simple it would be to decorate my chandelier. I love your home Jennifer!
Jennifer!... I was snooping around and found your blog... TOO CUTE you and your family are!... Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Pretty table, and I love your hanging hearts, too. Glad you had a happy day!
And I totally had to the rest of the line in my head when I read the title...."It seems like only yesterday..." It's from a Wisor house staple (with Brendan's animal obsession and all): Robin Hood. What do I win???


The forest plays a significant role in the life of the indigenous communities. It is where they get food, materials for shelter, and sources of livelihood. They need to learn how to sustain their resources not only for the present but also for the generations to come.
In pursuing sustainable living, the youth volunteers under the forest management group are already in the process of managing resources in a way that sustains the forest. The group has bagged 622 giant bamboo or buntung cuttings. This is one way of making sure that we do not run out of bamboo because of its many uses.
There are three techniques in bamboo planting: bagging, bedding, and direct planting. However, the technique that gives most successful bamboo growth is the combination of direct planting of cuttings followed by bagged cutting that are well-rooted which can be used to fill in for those cuttings that were planted directly but did not take root.
When a bamboo is bagged and placed in a nursery, it is given ample time to root and establish a good growth before it is transferred to the forest edge where it also acts as a buffer. The time in the nursery usually takes eight months and during this time, the bamboo is watered and maintained. Only those that are healthy enough are transplanted. As soon as they are transferred, watering is twice a week when there is no rain.
As of the moment, balakanas, dalamuan, buntung and kawayan tinik (a species of bamboo that does not naturally grow in Upper Pulangi) were bagged and are now cared for at the nursery.
With every bag of bamboo comes the hope that it will grow healthy not only to produce good quality bamboo for construction but also to protect the forest from degradation and soil erosion, so that the generation to come will experience the beauty and bounty of the uplands.


Which social media platform do you project to rule the industry in the coming years?
I don't see Facebook getting toppled in the near future, so they will probably still be the leader in social networking. They might lose some points in the stock market here and there, but the people have grown used to it and it is unlikely that majority of the members there would flock to another platform collectively unless Facebook slips up significantly. Add to that the fact that they are now being used to log in to many sites and also used to comment on them, I doubt a replacement will ever arise.
That's a difficult one. Remember when everyone was proclaiming that MySpace was the end-all and be-all? Then Facebook came along and everybody chased after the college students and jumped ship? People are always looking for the next big-thing. If enough of the "cool kids" start doing it, everyone else will follow. It's only a matter of time.
I agree. And I also think that its getting harder and harder for facebook to get bigger because its already so big that its hard for them to find room for more advancement if you know what I mean I think its only a matter of time for a new social network to show up because lets face it, facebook has become increasingly annoying over the past years. They want to be a part of everything. Did you see all those 'log in with facebook' buttons all around the web? Or their mobile platform? I say no to all of these because I don't want FB to be part of my everyday life more than it already is. And they can't understand that.
Twitter is doing quite well at the moment and the people I know, rarely use Facebook and many have started using Twitter. Yes, it's a very small sample size but that's how the sites been doing.
Facebook has been gaining members in the last year even though millions are deactivating their accounts in the US and the Eastern Europe however that is probably because has been counter balanced and more by people joining up to the site from developing countries where membership hasn't peaked yet.
In terms of which social network I see leading in the future, it may be Twitter unless another Mark Zuckerberg is coding away the next social network in his dorm as I speak.
I always thought that the login feature was generally liked, and I never would have guessed that some other people didn't like it as much as I did. It's a pain to keep registering for different sites, sure, but I think it's worth it to keep at least some degree of separation to all these new things we're still getting used to. I'm pretty sure it's still widely preferred by the public though, so I doubt it will ever stop or slow down now, unfortunately.
It seems as though Twitter is growing all the time. The market seems ready for new social media all the time, look at the overnight success of Vines. Unfortunately for Vines, Instagram will likely phase them out as Instagram offers longer video.
While Facebook updates always cause initial frustration, everybody ends up accepting them.
Ultimately a combination of multiple platforms will lead to successful social media marketing.

Q: I cannot figure out how to get rid of this math domain error def q(a,b,c):
    discriminate = (b**2) - (4*a*c)

    s1 = (-b+math.sqrt(discriminate))/(2*a)

    s2 = (-b-math.sqrt(discriminate))/(2*a)

    return (s1,s2)

So far I have this written down and it keeps giving me a math domain error that I must resolve without using cmath I cannot seem to figure out what to do

A: You have 3 cases that you need to take care of:

*

*discriminate < 0    --> no real solution

*discriminate == 0   --> 1 real solution

*discriminate > 0    --> 2 real solutions
Add this logic to your code.
