Interview with Peter White on Trips to Nicaragua

I talked to Peter White former teacher at Northport High School, attorney and author about his many years of work, bringing his students on trips to Nicaragua for the
purpose of helping the poor and learning about how to make a difference. The group
he created is called Students for 60,000. Peter's dedication to this work earned him
a Teacher of the Year Award and acknowledgement from Bill Clinton in the White house.
Most importantly his work has not only helped many people in need but has given many students the opportunity of a lifetime to grow and understand the power of making a difference. He has encouraged other schools to follow this lead.
Peter talked about his motivation to help others partly stemmed from his childhood
growing up poor made him sensitive to the plight of others. He has written a memoir
dedicated to his mother Kay who gallantly provided for her family alone. The Book
is called Kay's Triumph.

Interveiw with Alice Knapp President of the Ferguson Library

Alice Knapp, President of the Ferguson Library


I talked with Alice Knapp, current President of the Ferguson Library in Stamford, about the challenges Libraries face in the era of the internet, eBooks and social media.
Ms. Knapp has instituted many exciting new programs and events at the Ferguson
that meet the needs of the community and make the library a place of enjoyment
and opportunity for everyone from the young children to the older citizens.
The Ferguson in Stamford has a long history

HISTORY OF THE FERGUSON LIBRARY.

The Ferguson Library is named after Hon. John Day Ferguson, who was at one time Probate Judge and for many years the leading member of the Board of School Visitors. Mr. Ferguson was widely known and highly honored for his devotion to education and at his death (December 9, 1877) he left by will the sum of $10,000 to found a Public Library. The gift was conditioned on the raising of $25,000 more, and this was promptly contributed by the subscriptions of many citizens. The act incorporating the Library was approved March 12, 1880, and the trustees named in this act immediately organized. The Library was opened to the public in November, 1881, in temporary quarters, which were used until the summer of 1889, when the property now occupied was purchased and fitted for more permanent use. The present building, however, is neither large enough for much growth nor suitable in style or accommodations, and the trustees look forward to the erection of a new building when funds shall be provided. Several gifts have been made to the Library since its foundation, notably the bequest of Mrs. C. E. Richardson, who, at her death in 1884, left to the Library real estate valued at $22,000. The last annual report of the treasurer (1892) estimated the entire property of the institution at $82,746. Of this sum $24,000 is invested in the land and building occupied by the Library, and about $11,000 in books, etc.

ABOUT IRINA BRESLAV



Born in Moscow, Russia I emigrated to the United States a quarter of a century ago. Even though I have retained my Russian accent, my command of English is pretty native. Now in my early 60s, I feel very comfortable in my skin, and I love to help other people to feel comfortable in theirs. I love what I do, and I do what I love - finally!

I am a lucky woman to have manifested my life partner/husband Nicholas, who is a very talented ceramic artist and who possesses so many qualities I admire. We travel, cultivate our organic garden and play together with our two fascinating grandchildren. I love animals, and currently serve my 5-year-old mini poodle Dr. Dexter with endless love and really good food!

Irina and her Dr. Dexter

My favorite activity is learning about the human body, mind and spirit, and I constantly study these subjects via reading and workshops I take all over the world. I am a scientist and scholar of metaphysics at heart. My book library is extensive and I easily share books/CDs/DVDs with my curious clients and friends.

My first degree is in Mechanical Engineering with an MS in Science. My second largest life experience was 10 years as a Film Editor at the Allstate Cinematography Institute in Moscow. Friday nights you can always find me at the local art theater. Cinematography is still my favorite art and entertainment.

Being in my own healing practice for the past 16 years surpasses all my previous careers. I feel privileged to know my talents and apply them accordingly – to be of healing and relaxing service to you – my fellow human

HISTORICAL REFERNCES FOR SHAKESPERE"S MACBETH

MacBeth is a Scottish play and is based loosely on an episode from Scottish history, the death of King Ducna at the hands of his kinsman MacBeth who become King.

Scottish King Duncan

 

Scottish King MacBeth

 



Queen Elizabeth I

Scottish King Malcolm

Shakespere based his play The Tragedy of MacBeth on a historical document, Holinshed Chronicles, The history of England.


 Shakepeare had years of success at the Globe Theatre under the reign of Queen Elizabeth and upon her death he was faced with a new King that he wanted to win over..  King James the 1st succeed Elizabeth the 1st. He came from Scotland, where he had presided as King James the IV of Scotland. James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth he 1st.   His mother was executed by order of Queen Elizabeth and his father assassinated. These early tragedies produced in James a fear and fascination with witchcraft. James also like theatre and adopted Shakespeare's company changing their name to "The King's Men".Shakespeare wanted to flatter the new king and created a Scottish play in his honor.  He borrowed from real Scottish history to invent a fictional and dramatic play including witchcraft that is has made
dramatic history for over centuries.
