SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: Squire by Sara Alfageeh & Nadia Shammas
DESCRIPTION:April’s Graphic Novel Book Club pick: Graphic Novel Book Club: Squire by Sara Alfageeh & Nadia Shammas \nFeel free to join us and discuss what you loved\, hated\, or questions you might have… \nAiza has always dreamt of becoming a Knight. It’s the highest military honor in the once-great Bayt-Sajji Empire\, and as a member of the subjugated Ornu people\, Knighthood is her only path to full citizenship. Ravaged by famine and mounting tensions\, Bayt-Sajji finds itself on the brink of war once again\, so Aiza can finally enlist in the competitive Squire training program. \nIt’s not how she imagined it\, though. Aiza must navigate new friendships\, rivalries\, and rigorous training under the unyielding General Hende\, all while hiding her Ornu background. As the pressure mounts\, Aiza realizes that the “greater good” that Bayt-Sajji’s military promises might not include her\, and that the recruits might be in greater danger than she ever imagined. \nIn this breathtaking and timely story\, Aiza will have to choose\, once and for all: loyalty to her heart and heritage\, or loyalty to the Empire.

SUMMARY:Queens NY Practical Philosophy Meetup
DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?\nPractical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic\, practice communicating\, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required!\nPractical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all\, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic\, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.\nThe goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking\, Communication\, and Community \nHOW DOES IT WORK?\nEach week\, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared\, generally in the Whatsapp group\, along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.\nWhen groups get bigger than 7-8 people\, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. \nGeneral Meeting Agenda\nEach Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: \n\n18:00-18:15 – People arrive and chat\, get to know each other before the official start.\n18:15-18:25 – Meeting introduction\, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week\, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.\n18:25-19:30 – Break into small groups – introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic\, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed\, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.\n19:30-19:45 – Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic – each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.\n19:45 – The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment\, so we often stick around\, chat\, and get to know each other.\n\nPRICING?\nPractical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café\, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary\, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you’d like to support\, you can donate here!\n(Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) \nWHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY\n“I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” – Ekam\n“I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” – Daniel \nFAQ \n\nDo I need to study or read anything to attend?\n\nNo preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic\, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share\, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it. \n\nIs there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?\n\nThe goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions\, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this\, we want to hear from every realm of thought\, and don’t study a particular school. \n\nIs it mostly men that attend?\n\nSurprisingly\, no! Although often\, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys\, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders\, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. \n\nCan I come alone?\n\nOf course you can\, we encourage it 🙂 \n\nCan I be late?\n\nPlease don’t be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out\, but after that if you arrive too late\, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. \n\nWhere do you meet?\n\nThe location is posted in Meetup and our Whatsapp group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club\, you can see our chapters on our website. \nPOLICY\nTo respect our members privacy\, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. \nPRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB – Philosophy\, everywhere. \nWe started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 60+ chapters in 28+ countries\, including Canada\, Spain\, Japan\, Mexico and many more!\n***\nJoin our New York Whatsapp \nFollow us on Instagram \nOur website

His performances\, known for their innovation\, blend his Austrian heritage—evident in his yodel-infused German solo show “All In One”—with groundbreaking fusions of Afro-Cuban and American tap rhythms. The founder of the globally touring RumbaTap\, Pollak has been celebrated for adding a traditional twist to contemporary Austrian folk music and for his dynamic collaborations in the off-Broadway hit “Carmen\, to Havana and Back.” \nA faculty member at Sarah Lawrence College and Drew University\, Pollak has been praised for his original a cappella vocal arrangements and his unique integration of tap into symphonic and chamber music. His distinguished career includes initiating Cuba’s first tap festival\, collaborations with Cuban rumba masters\, jazz greats\, and tours with prominent percussion and tap ensembles. Pollak also brings a touch of the avant-garde to classical music\, performing with acclaimed orchestras in iconic venues from Vienna’s Konzerthaus to Havana’s Teatro Nacional. \nRenowned on the international tap scene\, Pollak holds honors such as the Flo-Bert and Hoofer Awards\, a Bessie Award nomination\, and fellowships for his choreographic excellence. His artistry is not just a performance but an experience\, inviting audiences to witness the transformative power of the body as an original instrument.
