Anna Tsivilyova is a head of a large holding, which is Kolmar coal mining company in Yakutia, Russia. Public activity plays an important role in her life. Being a spouse of Kemerovo Oblast governor, she established and presided over a regional Guardianship Council of Kemerovo Oblast specialising in solving social problems.
Our heroine shared: "Social issues are acute in various regions, especially remote ones. Besides, society now has a high demand for both receiving and providing help." Public service is especially important for Ms. Tsivilyova, who is an active citizen and an entrepreneur.
Anna Tsivilyova is sure: one can invest much money in business, but it will all be gone without the moral part.
It is essential that people know how to help one another. That way, it will be possible to raise the living standard through joint effort.
The main task of the Guardianship Council is to help people who found themselves in difficult situations.
Today, the Council has a long list of kindhearted initiatives, as it has provided financial and organisational assistance for a number of establishments and physical persons.
Recently, Kemerovo Oblast held a charity auction gathering many philanthropists of the region. The tender featured paintings by local artists. The Guardianship Council managed to raise over 13 million roubles to help those in need. The money was allocated among various organisations: music and art schools in rural areas and orphanages. Several physical persons also received help.
Russia has many concerned people and Ms. Tsivilyova has often found that. She recalled a story about the Council presenting a video, where among the main characters was a boy fighting a serious illness. Later on, during a charity event, an ordinary citizen of Kemerovo Oblast approached Anna Tsivilyova. He told her that the video pushed his buttons and he decided to take care of that child himself. Such stories are the real victories for the Guardianship Council.
The important feature is that the organisation is not a legal entity and has no account.
All the financial help goes from sponsors and philanthropists directly to those in need. It was done in order to avoid distrust of supporters and society towards foundations accumulating capitals.
Our heroine gives a lot of attention to women's agenda. She is sure women play an important role in developing industrial regions like Kemerovo Oblast, as they make the half of Russia's population.
Therefore, The Guardianship Council supported by the Federation Council and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, will hold a large international forum called 'Role of Women in Developing Industrial Regions'. The event will take place on March 1-2 in Novokuznetsk.
The event will make an important part of the Third Eurasian Women's Forum preparatory phase. The Forum in Novokuznetsk will be attended by Valentina Matvienko, Chairperson of the Federation Council, Galina Karelova, Deputy Chairperson of the Federation Council, ministers and deputy ministers of Russia, representatives of regional governments, heads of large industrial enterprises, and members of international organisations. Fatou Haidara, UNIDO Managing Director and Iris Dzeba, IBM Russia & CIS General Manager were also invited to participate in the event.
The upcoming forum will touch upon the development of Russian industry, women's entrepreneurship, equality within digitalisation, education, and female career guidance. The participants will discuss the most pressing problems of industrial regions, featuring health protection for working women, improving the environmental situation, regional tourism development, etc. A particular discussion platform will be dedicated to international cooperation.
According to Anna Tsivilyova, it is essential to use women's potential in all the spheres of activity, including industry. It is possible to solve various problems of society by supporting women in their social activity and creating well-paid working places for them.
Our interlocutress mentioned: now it is important not only to promote female representation in decision-making, but also build proper communication and cooperation between sexes. Women have naturally enhanced intuition, flexibility, patience, and ability to handle stress.
That is why they are able to help solving various global issues, reduce political tension, and bring people together by means of such important aspects as philanthropy, maternity, and kindheartedness.


Fifth Avenue was called "Millionaires' Row" by around the year 1900 because many rich people lived there.
Nowadays, however, the average price of a home in Manhattan is a million dollars. So pick any street you want!
But New York wakes up one morning to find herself not famous, but absolutely eclipsed. "Millionaire's Row" in Washington has larger, handsomer and more sumptuously-mounted residences than any that Fifth avenue can boast.
Borough President Coogan has just paid $260,000 for the dwelling 987 Fifth Avenue, just north of Seventy-ninth Street. Mr. Coogan now lives at 599 Fifth Avenue, but feels that the ownership of a house in the very heart of "Millionaires' Row" ought to dispel all delusions about his being a resident of Southampton, L. I., and cause the city treasury to yield up his salary.
The richest of the fashionable leaders have by silent agreement resolved to keep up the ancient social prestige of Fifth avenue, from Fifty-ninth street to One Hundred and Tenth street, by establishing themselves in palaces. The main entrance to the Central Park is at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue. From this point to One Hundred and Tenth street runs a low brownstone wall, pierced at ceertain points by entrances into the park, and over it stretches away the green leaves of trees and shrubbery. The wall is two and a half miles long. The palaces built on the east side of the Avenue face the park. Opposite the main entrance at Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth streets, on the corner of Sixtieth street, stands a square building of white marble, whose incorporated name is the Metropolitan. But it is not spoken of. It is called the Millionaires Club. It flanks the grand line of palaces which are now called Millionaires' Row.
joining Frank J. Gould's Mansion.
Announcement was made yesterday that a sixteen-story apartment hotel will be erected on Fifth Avenue, between Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth Street, in the very heart of the so-called "Millionaire's Row."
sorry, the original "Millionaire's Row" was in Cleveland, Ohio on Euclid Avenue, with 40 19th century mansions dating back to the 1860's.

Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Station Launched in the CBD multi-level carpark
Devonport's multi-story carpark is now home to a fully operational electric vehicle (EV) fast charging station, funded by a $50,000 grant from the Tasmanian Government through the Electric Vehicle ChargeSmart Grants Program.
Devonport City Council Mayor, Councillor Annette Rockliff said, "Having a public, fast electric vehicle charging station in Devonport is a valuable addition for both residents and visitors to the City.
"It is hoped the charging station will support the growing number of EVs in Tasmania and provide a convenient option for visitors to the state on extended travel.
"This initiative further supports Council's objective of taking action to reduce carbon emissions and have a positive impact on the environment."
Under a contract with Council, Electric Highway Tasmania has installed and will operate the charger, being responsible for all expenses and revenue generated from the charger.
Charging will remain free until the 1st January 2021, at which time credit card payments will be accepted or there will be the ability to use the ChargeFox mobile application to make charging easy and accessible to everyone. The site will also be supported with CCTV to protect vehicle on charge, as well as technical support should any driver be in need.
Clive Attwater of Electric Highway Tasmania responded "I would like to thank the Devonport City Council and staff for their positive and helpful approach to making the project a success. We are looking forward to a long and successful partnership at this site."
The charging station will form a part of a statewide network allowing drivers of electric vehicles to explore our State, including the North West Coast.

The East Texas field was a unique occurrence — discovered and developed during troubled times; destined to play an important part in world history. It created a watershed for the oil and gas industry. Much has been written about the people involved, their actions, and the events that occurred. Special recognition and thanks goes to James A. Clark and Michel T. Halbouty, coauthors of The Last Boom , and H. J. Gruy, author of Thirty Years of Production in the East Texas Field. Information from these works has been freely used for this study. Major oil companies had condemned and written off the area. Petroleum geology and especially geophysics were still young sciences. Migration through porous strata was accepted and structural traps such as anticlines, faults, salt domes, and even noses were thought to be required to have hydrocarbon accumulations. There had been Woodbine production from the Mexia, Wortham, and Powell fields and other fault line traps across northeast Texas extending into Arkansas and Louisiana.

Based on available evidence, muscle strengthening and cardiovascular exercises can help maintain function and not adversely affect the progression of disease in patients with ALS. However, this evidence is not sufficiently detailed to recommend a specific exercise prescription. The purpose of this project was to assess clinical outcomes of a combined exercise programme to increase knowledge of rehabilitation in ALS patients. 38 ALS patients were assigned randomly to two groups: one group underwent a specific exercise programme (ALS-EP) based on a moderate aerobic workout and isometric contractions, and the second group followed a standard neuromotor rehabilitation treatment. Objective evaluation consisted of cardiovascular measures, muscle strength and fatigue. Some positive effects of physical activity on ALS patients were found. Among the benefits, an overall improvement of functional independence in all patients, independently of the type of exercise conducted was seen. In addition, improvements in muscle power, oxygen consumption and fatigue were specifically observed in the ALS-EP group, all hallmarks of a training effect for the specific exercises. In conclusion, moderate intensity exercise is beneficial in ALS, helping in avoiding deconditioning and muscle atrophy resulting from progressive inactivity.


Extinction Rebellion Protest 2019 | What's Hot London?
Thousands of protestors from Extinction Rebellion took to the streets of capital today, bringing much of central London to a standstill. Protestors were bussed in from across the country to make sure their voices were heard over our impending climate catastrophe.
Extinction Rebellion a relatively new group which combines backing from academics with non-violent disruption to try to avert a climate crisis. Their demands include bringing UK emissions down to zero by 2025 and setting up a citizens assembly to deal with climate change.
One of the criticisms levied at today's protest is around the huge tailbacks which they created, which could cause extra polution. However, the protestors seemed unconcerned with this. For them, the most important thing was to get noticed and to do that they needed to cause disruption.
The people most affected by the protest will be motorists, cabbies and delivery drivers, people simply trying to do their jobs. However, for today's protest to have any impact it is the people in the higher echelons of Government who need to take notice. Whether that happens remains to be seen.


A highly unusual break in a section of rail forced a shutdown of part of the Red Line yesterday during the peak of the morning rush, delaying thousands of commuters and adding to mounting frustration with deteriorating Metro service. A 54-inch horizontal fracture was discovered on a rail inside the tunnel at Judiciary Square Station about 7:40 a.m., after several trains reported an unusual noise and a bumpy ride. Part of the fractured rail broke off and was lodged under the high-voltage third rail, where the segment started to smoke. This was the first horizontal rail crack -- a rarity on transit systems -- in Metro's 28-year history, puzzling track specialists. Vertical fractures are much more common because of how trains exert pressure on the rails. The fractured rail was manufactured by Bethlehem Steel, installed in February and expected to have a life span of at least 20 years.

A Ukyio print is also known as 'Pictures of the Floating World' and refer to the Edo period between 1600 -1867. Japanese artists of this period recorded urban lifestyles, scenes from theatre and the spirit world. The images were carved into a wood block and printed on rice paper, sometimes in large numbers to sell to the public. This image is spread over 2 pages and suggests that it was part of a book. It is mounted on acid free card.

In 2005 we were honoured to be invited by our professional colleagues to design a new Tasmanian home for the Australian Institute of Architects.
This heritage project required the conversion of a derelict industrial warehouse into a new corporate office suite. Heritage building fabric has been conserved and restored in consultation with the Tasmanian Heritage Council, while new building elements have been placed with care and clarity to create a harmony between old and new.
Through a process of restoration and simple restrained intervention, life has returned to the disused structure. Heritage building fabric has been handled with the lightest of touch – cleaning, or simply been left, so that layers of history can be seen and understood. The new fabric is refined and clearly contemporary such that the contrast between old and new is stark. Simple devices heighten the contrast: new polished floors stop short of the walls, new elements are white and light, the old is dark and heavy. The result is a new place for architects to interact, learn and play and for Tasmanian architecture to flourish.
"At last a home for the RAIA! The architects were engaged to fitout a tight space with numerous constraints, not the least of which was the daunting task of satisfying the critical appraisal of their entire professional cohort! Most would tremble at the thought; however the architects approached the task with their usual restrained confidence, and delivered a wonderful outcome.
The brief inherently required a 'demonstration' project as it was to be the interface between the RAIA and the public, the industry, and the profession.
The design is a sensitive response to the heritage context, illustrating a clear articulation of the often vexed notion of inserting new into old. The resolution of the multi-purpose spaces, the minimalist selection of materials, the sensitivity of the detailing all contribute to its success.

A better Glowsquid implementation and bioluminescent Plankton
It would be really cool if the Glowsquid spawned near bioluminescent plankton, some sort of new entity that could exist as a conglomerate of particles, instead of a 3d model like other entities. The Glowsquid would hunt the plankton and eat it, being an educational explanation as to why those squids glow and other don't. Just like flamingos, their color could be dictated by their diet, and so, you would be able to "make" a glow squid by feeding it plankton twice or trice until the effect became permanent.
But now, if you hit plankton, i would not die, but rather just dissipate and desapear, and so, to get the plankton, you should be able to bucket it like a fish, locking its content behind the iron, so that it wouldn't be as easy as just "punching things until they work". It would be another movable source of particles (just like the new flowers) and it could be a new (and optional) challenge to the player, as to get the plankton you would need to dive deep into the sea or cavern lakes, avoiding drowning by the possible hypnotic effect of the Glowsquid itself.
By boiling the bucket of plankton in a furnace you would get a glow dye of some sort, and this can add a lot of mechanics related to leather armor, new sources of light or even changing the aesthetic effect of enchanted items. I think the plankton could be a good way to tie in the Glowsquid into it's surroundings and add new content to the game. Just imagine a underground lake full of bioluminescent plankton!
Lucas Schmidt Kehl shared this idea.
Jack Dundas commented
This is actually cool
Maicon Daniel Antoniolli commented
I was Going to make a post about this (not the plankton, tho, that's something really interesting!), and maybe a waterlogged "Glowcave" in which the glowsquid would spawn more fequently. That would be a good idea, too, in my opinion, bringing more opportunities for blocks and items.

US presidential candidate Joe Biden denies claims of sexual assault
Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden has denied claims of sexual harassment, calling them baseless and misinformation against him.
Several women have accused Biden of sexual assault, abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, from which two people have come out in front of the media against the presidential candidate.
While Joe Biden, 77, has denied the claims, calling them "not real."
Joe Biden said that when he was a senator, the woman who accused him of sexual harassment and she even continued to file the charges.
He claimed that if the woman had lodged a lawsuit against him, the case report would be in the National Archives and he would ask the new Senate secretary to search the report if the woman accusing him had lodged a complaint or not.
He denied the charges against him categorically, calling them a complot against him.
Biden reiterated that the allegations against him were being explained at a time when key party members were challenging his position.
In a brief statement on April 30 US President Donald Trump also said Biden would clarify the accusations against him.
Biden ruled out the allegations in a TV interview amid pressure from President Donald Trump and other political leaders but refuted the allegations in a statement released before the interview.
Joe Biden's claims of sexual assault started in March this year, and former Senate employee Tara Reade initially leveled it at him.
Tara Reade later repeated his accusations, and she again accused Biden of sexual assault and rape before the media in mid-April.
In an interview in mid-April, Tara Reade reported that Joe Biden had offended him in 1993 in the basement of the Capitol Hill office building.
The woman said at the time she had lodged a complaint in the office against Biden.

The Azores will send until the end of the year 19,000 trees of different species to reforest wooded areas of Madeira devastated by the fires that occurred in 2016, announced today by the Regional Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Anabela Isidoro.
Among the species are oaks and walnuts, which are expected to arrive in Madeira by sea in November, "the right time to make plantations. It is a gesture of solidarity and cooperation, we want to help our neighbouring archipelago regenerate the forest areas that have been devastated by fires," Anabela Isidoro said in the same note.
Today a technician from the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation of Madeira arrives on the island of São Miguel for a visit to exchange experiences and knowledge about techniques and equipment used in the Azores, for example for the production of endemic plants.
The fires that hit the island of Madeira in August 2016 mainly affected the municipality of Funchal , where three people died and where damages in real estate and public structures were valued at 61 million euros. About 22% of the county area burned.
What a wonderful gesture, from one lovely group of islands to another. We wish the project every success.
Thanks Azores what a lovely thing to do. Good neighbourhood spirit!
What a kind and thoughtful gesture from the Azores. I'm sure this gift will be appreciated for many years to come.
I got that text above from skyscraper city! They must have copied it from FTP too.
A wonderful gesture, lets just hope they are planted at the right time and we have a good bit of rain in the areas over the winter to give the saplings a chance to bed in and grow. A similar project back in 2011 which involved school children planting thousands of seedling trees up in the mountains sadly failed due to very dry weather and hardly any of the small trees planted survived their first year.


YInMn Blue (for yttrium, indium, manganese) is an inorganic blue pigment that was accidentally discovered by Professor Mas Subramanian and his then-graduate student Andrew E. Smith at Oregon State University in 2009.
3 (an antiferromagnetic material) at 1,093 °C (2,000 °F). The resulting compound was not an effective multiferroic; it was instead a vibrant blue material. Because of Subramanian's experience at DuPont Co., he recognized the compound's potential use as a blue pigment and filed a patent disclosure covering the invention. After publishing their results, Shepherd Color Company successfully contacted Subramanian for possible collaboration in commercialization efforts .
4 pigments. In June 2016, Australian company Derivan published experiments using YInMn (known as Oregon Blue, and also Yin Min Blue) within their artist range (Matisse acrylics). This experimental product was made using the Shepherd licensed pigment.
YInMn Blue is chemically stable, does not fade, and is non-toxic. Moreover, infrared radiation is strongly reflected, which makes this pigment suitable for energy-saving cool coatings. It can be prepared by heating the oxides of the elements yttrium, indium, and manganese to a temperature of approximately 1,200 °C (2,200 °F).
The pigment is far more durable than alternative blue pigments such as ultramarine or Prussian blue, retaining its vibrant color in oil and water. It is additionally safer than cobalt blue.
The announcement of the invention resulted in a viral phenomenon that led to several marketing campaigns in 2017.
AMD announced that the shade would also be used on new Radeon Pro WX and Pro SSG professional GPUs for the energy efficiency that stemmed from its near-infrared reflecting property.
American art supplies company Crayola replaced its retired Dandelion color with a new color "inspired" by the pigment, but not containing any actual YInMn. Crayola held a contest for more pronounceable name ideas, and announced the new color, "Bluetiful", on 14 September 2017. The new crayon color has been available since late 2017.

As with many things invented long ago, it's difficult for researchers to determine the exact beginnings of poker. Because there are many different versions of poker, there are no clear origins available for historians to claim for the game. If you are still interested in finding out what we do know about the history of poker however, the limited facts are listed below.
The word "poque" from France is said to be the original starting name for the game of poker. The German game called "pochen" in turn was the birth of the French world listed above. As mentioned before, it is not known for sure if these games were the origins of poker or not, but the name certainly does seem to come from it. It also helps this argument that our game of poker has many similar aspects to these games. What we can determine right now is that French settlers learned a game similar to poker from Persian sailors while living in New Orleans. The Renaissance game of "primero" is also a possible starting point for the game of poker. England's "brag" and France's "brelan" are also two possible beginning points for poker. As you can see there are many different theories on where it all started. Most of these games are said to be origins for poker because they too use the bluffing skill which is so prominent in poker.
The first game played in New Orleans back in 1829 only used twenty cards in a deck. Only four different players would bet at a pot, trying to guess who had the best hand. Because riverboats were common in these areas, it is no surprise that the game quickly launched from New Orleans outwards. As the riverboats traveled to different areas, more and more people would be able to play the game of poker and increase it's popularity.
The next step in developing the modern game of poker we know was using a full fifty-two card deck. Then came the flush hand possibilities. After this; straights, draw, and stud games were most likely added to the game during the Civil War in America. 1875 was the year where lowball, wild cards, and even split pots were introduced according to the best estimates by expert historians. The United States military is said to be a deciding factor in the development of the game. Because they had to find some way to pass time, solider's frequently played the game of poker and soon popularized it. Because they were also traveling all over the world, the military was said to have brought the game of poker to Asia as well.
Poker has also had a big impact on pop culture in England and America. Terms like "calling your bluff", "ace in the hole", "blue chip" and many more have became common jargon to both cultures. Even people who have no idea how these terms were originally used still frequently use them during poker matches. Isn't it interesting how easily the culture of poker was able to embed itself into society?
The information listed above is not definite and is at best a vague history of poker, but it's about all we know about the origins of the game. Starting with the 20th century we know a lot more about where and how modern poker has evolved. The World Series of Poker has increased in players every year since the first one was played in 1970. Because it was such a big event, the World Series gave birth to the first real superstars of poker. Professional players began to write books on how to play and what methods to use to win money, and the popularity of the game began to rise.
It is not surprising that this game of poker is so popular today. New players are getting into poker everyday. It is easier then ever with many online communities, to play a game of poker making it more popular and playable for the average Joe. Big game tournaments shown on TV only help to popularize the event as well. These events let viewers see all the hands players hold, letting them feel like they are playing in the event and not just watching at home. Almost anytime of the day can a poker event be found on television. Many professional and amateur events are shown all around the networks.
In the past poker was largely considered a mans game, with few female players and fewer still in the public eye. These days there's lots of incredible female players from around the world participating in the biggest tournaments around, with famous names like Jennifer Harman, Annie Duke, and Kathy Liebert well known to fans.
We may not ever know what the exact origins of the game of poker were, but we do know that the future of the game looks bright. Evolved forms of games played since the 1800's frequent casinos and homes these days. Some people even play poker for a career! Poker has embedded itself into society and culture and will be here to stay.

Meanwhile, Bree (Marcia Cross) deals with her mother-in-law following her husband's death and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) goes back to work. The episode also introduces the mystery storyline revolving around Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard) and her family.
According to Nielsen ratings, "Next" was watched by 28.4 million viewers, making it the most watched season premiere on ABC in nine years. The episode also ranks as the second-most watched in series history, behind the first season finale in May 2005.

The fifth season of Desperate Housewives, an American television series created by Marc Cherry, began airing on ABC on September 28, 2008 and concluded on May 17, 2009. The season takes place five years after the events of the season four finale in 2013/2014 and continues to focus on the lives of Wisteria Lane residents Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo, Bree Hodge, Gabrielle Solis, Edie Williams and Katherine Mayfair, as seen through the eyes of the series' deceased narrator, Mary Alice Young. The season's mystery is centered on Edie Britt's third husband, Dave Williams. The series received media attention following the announcement that Edie, portrayed by Nicollette Sheridan, would be killed off close to the end of the season. Edie takes on the narration in "Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know" following her death, marking the second time Mary Alice's voice is not heard in an episode.
The series saw its lowest ratings up to that point in season five. Nevertheless, Desperate Housewives maintained its position as a top-ten series. It was the ninth most-watched series during the 2008-09 television season with an average of 14.8 million viewers per episode.

Desperate Housewives: The Game is a life simulation adventure game developed by Liquid Entertainment and released by Buena Vista Games in October 2006, in the style of The Sims games. It is based on the television series Desperate Housewives. The player takes the part of a housewife with amnesia who has recently moved with her husband and son to Wisteria Lane. The plot takes place over 12 episodes. The game features a script by Desperate Housewives writer Scott Sanford Tobis and voice acting by Brenda Strong.
The game begins when a family moves to Wisteria Lane: a successful doctor working at the Fairview Medical Center, a wife with a forgotten past after a jogging accident and their son. Edie Britt first introduces the wife to Wisteria Lane and visits Bree Van de Kamp, who invites her to gossip at her house along with Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo and Gabrielle Solis. A pair of brothers then visit the player's house: Daniel Fox, a famous designer and his twin brother Frank Fox, who installs an Internet service in the player's computer. Your character then progresses through episodes, completing tasks that range from gardening and cooking for your family, to discovering the secrets of the neighborhood.

Gail C. Lamberta, Ph.D
Gail C. Lamberta, Ph.D., has spent a majority of her life focusing on improving the health and wellness of communities throughout New York.
Dr. Lamberta began her career in recreation at the YMCA in Huntington, New York, where she specialized in fitness and health enhancement programs. She furthered her career at the Greater New York YMCA of Eastern Queens, where she managed the entire facility, complete with health and fitness programs, aquatics, martial arts, camping, youth programs, racquetball and tennis, as the director of sports and fitness. Dr. Lamberta later acquired a position at the YMCA of Long Island's corporate office as the metropolitan director of programs and services. In this position, she oversaw all of the branches of the YMCA on Long Island and developed new programs to enhance the wellness schedule offered at the YMCA. Further continuing her work with the YMCA, Dr. Lamberta served as the executive director and ran two growing locations — in Brookhaven and Smithtown — as well as their off-site childcare facilities.
While at the YMCA, Dr. Lamberta took an assistant professor position and became chair of the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at SJC Long Island in Patchogue, New York. In 2000, she left the YMCA to develop the department at SJC Brooklyn and pursue a Ph.D. As chairperson, Dr. Lamberta oversees the department faculty, Student Recreation Club and fosters relationships with outside organizations, all while teaching her own full schedule of courses.
In 2012, Dr. Lamberta became the coordinator of experiential learning for the entire college. As coordinator, she establishes partnerships with organizations to provide service-learning opportunities for students. That same year, Dr. Lamberta became the associate dean at SJC Long Island. This position allows her to assess, develop and recommend new programs, including SJC's Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management, another SJC department that she co-chairs. In 2015, Dr. Lamberta was named the associate dean of community development at SJC Long Island.
Since 1999, Dr. Lamberta has been part of the National College Credit Recommendation Service (CCRS), supported by the New York State Department of Education Accrediting Agency, where she visits potential internship sites to determine accreditation and decides whether or not certain educational programs warrant college credit. Dr. Lamberta has been a member of the Long Island Leisure Services Association's (LILSA) board of directors since 1998 and currently serves as its president. She is also a co-founder of the Blue Stars and Yellow Ribbons Veterans Initiative at SJC. In 2014, Dr. Lamberta joined the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Strategic Planning Council and the advisory council for the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Regional STEM High School. She was also nominated to serve on the board of directors for the Long Island Convention and Visitors' Bureau (LICVB). In 2015, Dr. Lamberta joined the board of the Huntington Chamber of Commerce and its Education Committee, and became a member of the Youth Standing Committee of the Suffolk County Workforce Development Board. She also volunteers with ALS Ride for Life, LaunchPad and Huntington Business Incubator.
Dr. Lamberta received a B.S. in Therapeutic Recreation, cum laude with departmental honors, from SJC. She received an M.A. in Exercise Physiology from Adelphi University and a Ph.D. in Health Services with a concentration in Therapeutic Recreation from Walden University. In 2008, her dissertation "A Values Education Intervention Through Therapeutic Recreation" was published.


Whores have no expectations of heaven. That's why they're lewd, loose, vain, cross, crooked, liars, thieves, and devils. Therefore, it would be wise not to be like one. Hold yourself in high esteem with integrity, good morals, and values. For your soul is in jeopardy.

Lara St. John, the famed violinist who alleged that she was sexually abused by her teacher at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in the 1980s, on Monday joined calls for statute of limitation reform in Pennsylvania, the same day the legislature moved on a compromise still criticized as not going far enough.
"The most important thing for me, obviously, is just justice for people who were children at the time," St. John said at a news conference Monday, standing alongside CHILD USAdvocacy executive director Kathryn Robb and CEO Marci Hamilton. "It does take a long time to be able to come out. For me, it was 34 years ago, when I was 14 years old, that I was abused and raped by my teacher at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia."
In an Inquirer investigation, St. John said that her professor, Jascha Brodsky, repeatedly sexually assaulted her and that the school's dean mocked her when she relayed what happened. Four other women, who asked to remain anonymous, also said Brodsky sexually pursued them while they were students at Curtis in the 1980s.
For victims of decades-ago sexual abuse, legal recourse is hard to obtain, advocates say, and St. John is among a growing chorus calling for the legislature to make sweeping changes. On Monday, a state Senate committee moved on bills that would make it easier for victims to seek justice.
Pennsylvania law says criminal charges for child sexual abuse must be brought before the victim turns 30, and civil lawsuits before the victim is 50. These restrictions were widely criticized after a 2018 grand jury report detailing decades of child sexual abuse by 300 named Catholic priests in Pennsylvania and systemic cover-up, yet only two of those priests were charged because of the statute of limitations.
Despite a push from advocates last year, the state Senate failed to reach a compromise on allowing victims to file lawsuits for child sexual abuse that occurred decades ago.
State Rep. Mark Rozzi (D., Berks), who previously argued for changing laws to give abuse victims an additional two years to bring civil claims, is now taking a different approach. He's pushing to amend the state constitution, something that could take years, to change the statute of limitations law.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday approved measures that raise the age of victims for civil suits to 55, remove the statute of limitations for criminal cases, and call for a two-year window for victims to file civil suits if the statute of limitations has expired.
This window would only occur, according to the proposed legislation, if it becomes a constitutional amendment, meaning it must be approved in two consecutive sessions of the General Assembly and then put to voters.
"Mark and I are standing together, not as victims, not as survivors, but as thrivers," said State Rep. Jim Gregory (R., Blair), one of the sponsors. "We're moving forward, and I just hope that everyone can come together and realize this is for the sake of the victims."
At the news conference Monday, Robb and Hamilton said the constitutional amendment route would take too long to institute changes needed years ago. They also pointed to how the state Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Marsy's Law constitutional amendment that would give more rights to crime victims and their families, and argued the same could happen with this proposed legislation.
"It is a road to nowhere," Robb said. "And it is cruel to the survivors in this commonwealth."
Rozzi said he believed the bills would get through the legislature and be approved by voters in a referendum.
Though this process takes time, Rozzi said, it is the "safe and most certain route" so that the statute of limitations changes "would be upheld as constitutional."
