Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens: A Brief History

This week, Kyle Thomason, a heritage volunteer at the Central Library, writes about the long lost Zoological Gardens in Headingley.

The Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens were unknown to me until a few months ago. However, when I was younger I regularly saw what I thought was a mini Castle, over grown with no information or signage, on Cardigan Road, and often wondered what it was for. When I found out that it was a ‘Bear Pit’ it conjured up many different ideas, mainly of what such an odd structure was doing sitting in the middle of what is now student housing, guest houses, flats and hotels. After some metaphorical digging, here is what I came up with.

The idea of a Zoological and Botanical Gardens in Leeds came at the Music Hall on 5 October 1836, at a show by the Leeds Floral Society. A letter was read out by the speaker, Rev. J. A Rhodes, from a Mr. [Edwin] Eddison urging that:

the establishment of a Botanical Garden, and also a Zoological Garden in the neighbourhood of Leeds [was much needed]

However, doubts at such an enterprise circled from the start. The Chairman of the Leeds Horticultural Society stated that

While Leeds clung to its smoke, instead of burning it, the attempt to establish a Botanical Garden, (except at too great a distance) would necessarily fail…but if the moneys were forthcoming, it would all be very well to set about such a work without loss of time.

Another writer, a G. A, writing to the Editor of the Leeds Intelligencer wrote:

That all taste for public horticultural recreations [in Leeds] has of late years become almost extinct, but…a little spark presents itself, therefore I hope Leeds will come forward with energy and its wealth and fan it into a flame…that Leeds may gain stand unrivalled in a cause of all others the most interesting [as in Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Birmingham].

Though there was obvious doubt about the projects long term viability, there remained some hope as to its success. On the 22 May 1837, it was decided by public meeting that the funds for the scheme were to be raised via shares, and a proposed capital of no more than £20,000 and no less than £10,000 raised. The scheme would commence once £7,500 had been raised. A few sites were considered but it was felt that of the “south side of Headingley on the sloping ground behind the house formerly occupied by the late Mr. Bainbridge, that for its locality [to the city centre] and its natural advantage” would be best.

On 16 September 1837, an advertisement was placed in the local paper for the Provincial Committee to receive designs with cost estimates. Seventeen designs were sent in and, by the end of the year, the committee for the enterprise had chosen a winning design, that of William Billington, Civil Engineer and Architect, assisted in groundwork by Edward Davids, Botanist and Landscape Gardener (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1. Plan of the Zoological and Botanical Gardens by W. Billington & E. Davids, 1838. (c) Leeds Libraries

The site was to have an orangery, green houses, a conservatory for palms and another for fruits, a large fountain, exotic plants and birds, a department for zoological specimens, a lake with island and rustic bridge, rosary and another lake for water fowl, with a fountain, an entrance lodge from Burley, and fenced zoological specimen areas.

By February 1838, Mr Charles Kennedy, gardener to the Duke of Bedford, was appointed superintendent, or Keeper, of the Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens. So far, the project was moving along well. Funds were forthcoming and appointments made. However, at a general meeting of the society that month, the discussion turned to the opening of the gardens on the Sabbath. Sunday was only day the working classes had free – but it was suggested that this day should be for Church, not recreation.  One of the founders and Vice-President of the society, the Rev. J. A. Rhodes, wholly opposed the idea stating “he would not hold any share in the institution nor take any part in its management, if that principle were not recognised by the majority of shareholders”.  Another, Dr. Williamson, said that the “evils to be apprehended far exceeded any amount of good that could arise from keeping the gardens open.” A vote was taken to close the gardens on Sundays, but not without opposition: it stood 369 to 202. This decision would go on to affect the project significantly in future.

The gardens struck another setback when, in June of 1838, a fire was set inside one of the buildings in the gardens, destroying all the tools, the building, and work-shop. Then, a year later, in August, at a meeting of the committee, the annual report stated that, due to lack of funds, as much as had been planned had not yet come to fruition.

The Leeds Times, dated 10 August 1839, gives us a good insight into what was completed – especially because so little remains visible today.

The whole of the ground is enclosed by a wall of Meanwood grit stone on the South East and West sides, ten feet high; of Woodhouse stone and brick on the North side and of Meanwood grit stone and brick at the principal entrance. The North and North-West sides, which are fifteen feet high, are lined with brick on those sides having a South and South-Easterly aspect…suitable for fruit trees. There are two ponds, once containing a surface of nearly one acre, and the other about half an acre. The walks are nearly all formed…

The buildings erected and completed are the Burley entrance lodge at the South west corner occupied by the foreman. The cottage of porter’s lodge, committee room and shed, at the North-West corner, adjoining the principal entrance and the propagating house…but examining the state of the funds it was thought best at once to stop further expense.

The costs for the laying of the ground were four times the amount estimated, due to the need of excessive draining around the whole ground and all of the planting. It cost £2000. In today’s money that’s about £120, 000. This piece gives a more tangible and interesting aspect to the gardens than remains today and helps show the extent and cost of such a venture at the time.

In consequence of the expenses made it was suggested at the beginning of February 1840 that the site be let or sold and possibly turned into a Church of England graveyard, as there was need for one in the area.  Though the groundwork for the site cost more than estimated it was suggested in the Leeds Times that

We rather think that there would have been plenty of money raised but for the resolution come to by the proprietors to close these gardens on Sundays – a resolution which induced the withdrawal of a large number of capitalists, who were anxious to afford the working classes an opportunity for recreation…

It was decided by the committee not to sell or let the gardens, but to finish laying the gravel paths and open the gardens as soon as possible – and hope the funds gained would be enough to sustain it in future.

The Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens were opened on Wednesday 8 July 1840. Admission was Sixpence (£1.50 today) for adults; children and their servants threepence (0.76p today).

The following description was made of the gardens when they opened:

The Botanical and Zoological Gardens are situated in the bosom of a valley, which valley is enclosed by gently swelling eminences around; yet they are so far secluded that no “coigne of vantage” can be had at any point in the immediate vicinity to enable the furtive spectator to prate of their whereabouts. Thus, it comes to pass that when the visitor, approaching the gardens from the village of Headingley, only a stone’s throw distant, passes the gate, he is astonished with the scene that bursts upon his at once, and imagines himself at the moment in a scene of positive enchantment.

On the 7 October 1840, the gardens were to have their first real attraction: Mr Rossum the Aeronaut ascending in his balloon, followed by a grand display of fireworks the following week. However, there were no gas pipes within the vicinity of Headingley at the time so the balloon was to be filled at the Cardigan Arms Inn, Kirkstall and floated more than half a mile to the gardens! The balloon took so long to inflate that the event was cancelled and postponed for a later date.

The Gardens held many galas, balloonings, firework shows and events from The New Zealand War Chief, Senora Rossini and Storming of the Chinese Forts, among many over the coming years with varying success. The money and expenses were a constant issue and remarked upon regularly in the local press.

The gardens were eventually opened on Sundays, but only after morning and evening services, and the tickets for Sundays could only be purchased during the week to make sure “no great desecration of the Sabbath occurred”. This was a great success for the working-classes but for the gardens it was too late. Not even the attractions of monkeys, a raccoon, alligator, guinea pigs, an owl, a peacock, two parrots, and a “very well-bred, decently behaved brown bear” could save the gardens.

The gardens remained open for another 8 years but funding could not be found to continue the venture after 1848. The gardens were sold by public auction on the [1]8th Dec 1848 and acquired by John Smith, a banker of Leeds at a cost of £6, 010 (in today’s money that would be approximately £481,918); after which they were then sold to a H[enry] C[owper] Marshall and leased by Mr. Thomas Clapham, who charged a small fee for entrance to the gardens until 1858.

By 1869, after changing ownership many times, the land was divided into building plots and sold off. However, even today, large areas of the land once owned by the Zoological and Botanical Gardens remains undeveloped in comparison to the surrounding areas (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2. Aerial image of the old Zoological and Botanical Gardens area highlighted in green.

The surviving parts of the gardens today are scarce. The main wall at the entrance to the gardens survives in part (Fig. 3), as does the most famous remnant of the gardens: the Old Bear Pit (Fig. 4) on Cardigan Road. Both  are listed under the Planning Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act of 1990.

    Ever since I moved to Hyde Park, then soon after Headingley, in 1974 I knew about the bear pit. It’s interesting to hear more detail about the Botanical Gardens’ history. A sorry tale that reminds me of the story of London’s Dome!
    Thank you.

    Going southbound, after the Whitestone Bridge, at the split of 678/Cross Island Pkwy, there is a HUGE bump (not a pothole, but a raised hump in the road) in the middle lane (the lane that splits to go to either highway). It is directly in the path of the right-hand side wheels of your car if you are continuing to 678. To avoid it, I have to stay in the left-hand side of the lane which is dangerous as other drivers may assume I'm going to the Cross Island Pkwy. This is a very dangerous bump and should be smoothed out!

        SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1, 2006 – Sempra Generation, a unit of Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE), has finalized the sale of its exploration and production subsidiary, Sempra Energy Production Company (SEPCO), to PEC Minerals L.P. for approximately $225 million in cash.  Sempra Energy expects to record an after-tax gain of approximately $110 million from the sale in the third quarter 2006 as part of discontinued operations.

        PEC Minerals L.P. is owned by a group consisting of Jetta Operating Company, Trevor Rees-Jones and Providence Energy Corp.

        SEPCO’s assets include ownership of mineral rights over 570,000 net acres and executive rights to more than 190,000 net acres in 31 states.

        The cash proceeds from the sale will be used to help fund Sempra Energy’s other capital projects, such as liquefied natural gas receipt terminals, new interstate natural gas transmission pipelines and natural gas storage facilities.

        In 1998, SEPCO’s parent company, Pacific Enterprises, merged with Enova Corporation to form Sempra Energy.  Since the merger, SEPCO has been operating as a subsidiary of Sempra Generation.  SEPCO’s offices are in Dallas.

        Petrie Parkman & Co., a private energy investment-banking firm, acted as financial advisor to Sempra Energy in this transaction.

        Sempra Generation is the Sempra Energy subsidiary that operates and maintains power plants for the competitive market.  Sempra Energy, based in San Diego, is a Fortune 500 energy services holding company with 2005 revenues of $11.7 billion.  The Sempra Energy companies’ 14,000 employees serve more than 29 million consumers in the United States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, South America and Asia.

Commercial Cleaning and Sanitizing Services

Clean-Up & Sanitizing

As experts in creating clean, safe and healthy environments, we at ServiceMaster DCS would like to share our expertise to help you enhance preventive protocols for your office.
The current flu season, along with the outbreak of a newer pathogen, COVID-19, offers an opportunity to reinforce the importance of keeping employees’ work spaces clean, safe, and healthy. Our experience and training in health care spaces afford us the ability to promote safe practices for infection prevention within all businesses. Aligned with the CDC recommendations, ServiceMaster DCS has preventive solutions for all types of illnesses as well as COVID-19.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions?

COVID-19 is an enveloped virus causing mild to severe respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. It was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.

Symptoms can include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, which may appear 2-14 days post exposure.

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person to person between those in close contact (within ~6 feet) and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may be possible for a person to get the virus by touching a surface or object and then touching their own nose, mouth, or possibly eyes, although at this time this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes with unwashed hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are unavailable, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Because the virus is so new, the EPA has not tested and established efficacy protocols or inactivation claims. The EPA has issued “Guidance to registrants: process for making claims against emerging viral pathogens not on EPA-registered disinfectant labels,” 3 which at this time establishes approved products. An eligible product must meet the criteria in the document in order to make limited claims about disinfectant efficacy.
ServiceMaster disinfectants that can make this claim in line with dwell times and product labels are Peridox, Virex Plus, Sanimaster 7, Sanimaster 6, and Decon 30.

Dwell time is the required period that a surface must remain wet in order for a disinfectant to achieve full efficacy.

It is important to keep in mind that COVID-19 is a new and emerging pathogen. Regulators are just beginning to understand COVID-19 — how it spreads, the incubation period, length and severity of illness — knowledge that will develop over time. We will continue to update you as the CDC, EPA, FDA, and OSHA provide more information.
We also want you to know that, while we hope it will not be necessary, ServiceMaster DCS is qualified and equipped with the required protocols and processes should any pathogen outbreak occur within your facility. Please call us if we can be of service.

Along time ago these classes were once called home economics but today they’re now referred to as career and technology foundation. For the past three years while in middle school he has enjoyed CTF and is always early for school on these days.

Every once in a while he brings home one of his projects for me to see. On this occasion  he gave the pencil-case as a gift to his younger brother, who was quite pleased about it. I enjoy these little glimpses’ of his work and I’m grateful because I know he shies from displaying his talents to others.

When I first saw this pencil-case I was drawn to the great colours combined and clean lines; with the pattern of squares inside a perfect rectangle. On closer inspection I was happy to see his stitch work around the zipper was straight and even all the way down the zipper. I’m glad to see that my son takes such pride in his work, that sewing is a skill he enjoys.

As a parent it is a constant challenge to engage a teenager in school and when a child takes an interest in an activity it’s always fun to see the end results of their efforts.

These are a couple of his earlier projects from CTF.

  • Crazy art
  • Stool
  • Pillow
  • Pie & cake server

God Bless & Sew on

Repeat attendance is a key metric used to measure the success of similar-themed events. If guests keep coming back to your events, you know you’re doing something right (or several things right). But many professional event planners struggle to foster the “loyalty” needed to achieve a high rate of repeat attendance. If this sounds familiar, consider the following tips.

Personal Messaging

When communicating with guests, try to use their names. According to an Experian study, for instance, personalized emails deliver 6x more transactions than generic, non-personalized emails. If a guest sees an email addressed to his or her name instead of “Dear sir/madam,” they’ll feel more inclined to open and read it. Therefore, this can help you sell more tickets while also encouraging guests to return for future events.

Make it Entertaining

You can’t expect guests to return unless they actually enjoyed your event. While there are dozens of ways to make your event “fun,” one of the most effective solutions is to hire professional entertainment. Whether it’s a DJ, live band or even a magician, entertainment acts such as these are guaranteed to boost repeat attendance at your events.

Promote Engagement

Audience engagement and loyalty go hand in hand. When guests are engaged, they’ll feel a stronger connection with the event, which increases the chance of them returning to attend other events. The EventManagerBlog claims that live-response tools can boost engagement and subsequently increase attendance by up to 90% in certain situations. So, how can you promote audience engagement at your events? In addition to live-response tools, you can promote engagement by hosting competitions, games, and discussing your event on social media under a common #hashtag.

Brand Your Events

A fourth way to foster guest loyalty is to brand your events. If a guest from past event sees an upcoming event under the same or similar name, he or she may attend (assuming the guest enjoyed the first event). This is why it’s important to focus on establishing strong brand visibility for your events, before, during and even after the event has taken place.

Offer Loyalty Incentives

Of course, you can also encourage guests to attend future events by offering them some type of incentive. For instance, you could use a point system in which guests earn X amount of points for attending an event (or performing other actions). After they’ve collected enough points, guests can redeem them for free products, gift cards, special discounts, VIP membership passes, etc.

Aging and mental health

All exercise is well worth doing. Physical exercise might wind up leading to greater density of the connections between the neurons and make alternative pathways for signals that may otherwise be blocked because of age-related brain shrinkage. Starting exercise at age 65 might be commendable but it might be too late to observe long-term results.

Maintain your health It’s important to keep your wellbeing, especially as you get older. When you begin to struggle for good physical and mental wellness, be well prepared to discover some organic methods to boost energy levels. Superior health depicts a healthful amount of stamina and once we get weak and… When you begin to struggle for good physical and mental wellbeing, be ready to locate some organic ways to improve energy levels. Fantastic health depicts a nutritious degree of stamina and once we get weak and old there’s a substantial drop in our stamina levels. Understanding how to steer clear of high blood glucose symptoms is the secret to maintaining excellent health and living a long and productive life. Travelling can help you to improve your mental and emotional wellness.

Our brain is a remarkable organ

Our brain has a great capacity to store both short and long term memory information. If you compare a standard brain with the individual affected by Alzheimer’s disease you will discover that there will extreme shrinkage of cerebral cortex and hippocampus also the ventricles you’ll find severely enlarged when compared with the normal brain.

One of the biggest issues when addressing mental illness in seniors is the simple fact which they are more inclined to speak to their doctor about physical symptoms. Some people don’t immediately notice they are experiencing memory issues. It’s essential for seniors and their loved ones to recognize the value of treating mental health problems, and not only physical complaints.

Younger people with dementia could be in a position to undertake a greater quantity of physical activity. Alzheimer’s disease has become the most frequent source of dementia but not all dementia is because of Alzheimer’s. It is the most common form of dementia.

Don’t hold any grudges

There’s a difference between a guy who had a rough day on the job and should vent, and a guy who complains about everything. Holding grudges creates a negative stress in your body and mind that can create long term effects and mental diseases in an older age.

Cognitive therapists emphasize patients to concentrate on the positive as opposed to the negative facts. Cognitive therapy was made in such a manner that the goals for a patient are determined at the start of the therapy. Don’t be scared to end treatment if it isn’t getting you to where you want to be. Ayurvedic treatment can be used with different types of medication but it’s always prudent to consult the doctor in the event the herbs and other ingredients prescribed in ayurveda will interact in any way with conventional medication. Some medications can assist with memory impairment. Furthermore, the anti aging herbal pills for men are capable to naturally boost the capacity of reproductive system with no side results.

What is Gestalt Therapy?

Gestalt Therapy is a powerful experienced based psychotherapy focusing on the relationship between you and the therapist in the here and now. A Gestalt Therapist is always curious and attentive, giving attention to all of you. For most people gestalt therapy is their first experience of being truly listened to by someone who is fully present.

This style of therapy will free you to explore self supportive behaviour, first in the safety of your sessions and then, as appropriate, in the outside world. The emphasis of the therapy is not just on talking about what has happened but on fully experiencing what is happening now, and how you want your life to be.

Gestalt Therapy embraces the philosophies of phenomenology, field theory, dialogue and contemporaneity. Gestalt therapy emphasises a relational perspective in the understanding of human experience.
Attention is paid to a person's whole life experience - physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual. Each of these interconnected aspects of living is considered inseparable from a person's immediate context, personal history, culture, relationships and aspirations for the future.

My Personal Style

As a Gestalt therapist I work with people to develop their awareness of how they are in the world. I support individuals on a journey of self discovery through understanding vital areas of development including emotional development, identity, responses to the world, awareness, process of enquiry, living skills and capacity for self responsibility.

My personal style as a therapist is attentive, compassionate and supportive, you will experience being listened to and responded to genuinely.

I understand how important it is that you feel comfortable and confident talking to me, please ring or email me with anything you may be curious about. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions and work out if I'm the right 'wise woman' for you, and if not, there's no obligation to continue.

What is Gestalt Therapy useful for?

Releasing Blocks

This therapeutic process helps you work through unfinished business and learn to experience and appreciate your full beingness.

Gestalt Therapy encourages improvisation and helps remove any creative and emotional blocks.

Be in the moment

In Gestalt Therapy the past is not neglected, but its importance is not in what happened then, but in how it affects now.

Holistic healing

Gestalt theory is concerned with the whole person, encouraging a balance between body, feeling, intellect and imagination.

Gestalt Therapy stresses individual responsibility and awareness of present psychological and physical needs.

Personal Growth

The Gestalt therapeutic process enhances the possibility of personal development and understanding.

Gestalt helps you develop a greater awareness of how you relate to yourself and others.

Behaviour change

Discover the behaviour patterns you have developed and decide whether these strategies have outlived their usefulness.

Self Esteem

Therapy sessions frequently address issues like low self-esteem and help people to gain a stronger sense of self.

Action focus

Gestalt Therapy encourages the expression of feelings or thoughts into action in order to observe them clearly.

Therapy often includes homework, behavioural experiments, role-playing, assertiveness training, and self management training.

Gestalt is, above all, the constant search for harmony, a better quality of life and happiness.

  • Sherridan, Thank you for providing a warm and safe space for me, to explore and challenge my fears and doubts. You were always interested and fully present as you met me at the intellectual plain where I was most comfortable and from there you gently encouraged and supported me, to explore emotions that I kept hidden for more than six decades. You helped me shed my fears of emotional experience and intimacy. My personal life and my work with my own clients are richer and deeper for our time together.

  • Working with Sherridan has changed my life. With her help, I've uncovered the hidden dynamics and beliefs that affected my life and I am a happier, healthier, better balanced and more whole person for having been her client. I can't recommend her highly enough. Sherridan is a highly skilled, intuitive and compassionate therapist.

  • Sherridan has been a wonderful role model and mentor in not only my professional life but also my private one. She has had such a wonderful and interesting life, and uses this experience as well as her further education to provide rounded, non judgmental advice. She is an extremely warm and open minded individual who I’m very glad to have met!

The kokanee spawn! A photographic experience for my bucket list OR…

be careful what you wish for!

To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.

Auguste Rodin

The reality of the kokanee salmon spawn was a far different scene than I had imagined. In retrospect I suppose that I had not really thought this through. I imagined the brightly colored fish valiantly making their way up-stream to lay eggs that would hatch in the spring.

The kokanee is the landlocked version of the sockeye salmon and they spend their entire lives in fresh water. It was magical really seeing them twist and flip, powering their way upstream against a fairly strong flow of water. They glistened and shone with eye-popping color, ranging from strong pinks to deep reds but retaining the dark green head.

I wandered along the edge of the creek armed with bear spray in the event that one should make a sudden, not to be avoided appearance. The sound of the rushing water eliminated the possibility of hearing a bear in advance so I alternated taking shots with taking full scans of the area around me.

I knew that the kokanee died after spawning and there were bodies in various stages of decay beginning to gather at the edges. As I moved in to photograph one such body; tail and fins tattered and gouges scraped down through the skin and into the flesh on his sides, I watched in horror as he tried to draw a breath. It was then that I realized that this was not an isolated case. All around me were fish hanging on by a thread in bodies that barely functioned; where death would be a blessing.

the last breath
the last breath

And so I began to photograph them…these warriors that had conquered the arduous trip upstream to spawn. Did I set out to photograph dead and dying kokanee? Most assuredly not but I recognized that this was a moment, an opportunity that shouldn’t be dismissed, and in finding a way to create beauty amongst the carnage I was able to have some measure of peace with the reality of nature’s cycle of life. Not always pretty, not always kind, but always consistent in the eventuality of death.

Ten on Tuesday

1. How did your parents decide on your name?

It was the only thing they could agree on. Seriously. My dad wanted to name me Billie (I think I may have mentioned this before). Anyway, my mom veto’d that one, thank God.

2. Do your initials (First, Middle, Last) spell out anything fun/funny?

No, but once when I was in elementary school my teacher pointed out that if my middle name started with an “F”, I would be “KFC” like the restaurant chain. :P

3. Did you take your middle name from childhood or did you take your maiden name as your middle name? (If unmarried, what do you plan to do?)

I’m currently unmarried, but I plan on taking Kyle’s last name when the time comes. I’ve never heard of people axing their normal middle name in place of keeping their maiden name – or am I missing something there? I also don’t understand people who hyphenate their maiden and married names. It’s like their holding on to the past or something.

4. Are you or will you name your children thematically (ie. same first letter, all of same origin…)

Not at all. Kyle and his sister share the same first letter of their names and it’s annoying. Also – names that all rhyme bug me. Our kid’s names will be normal-ish.

5. Did you decide on baby names as a little girl? Did you stick to them or change your mind?

I don’t ever recall picking out names when I was little. I vaguely remember picking them out when I was in highschool, but I don’t remember what they are. Needless to say, we have different ones picked out now for when the time comes.

6. Does your family have any names that have been passed down through generations?

We don’t. Kyle’s family has some sort of non-tradition of giving the son the first name of his grandpa on the dad’s side as the middle name (Does that make sense? Kyle’s middle name is his dad’s father’s first name). I don’t really plan on following that tradition, and I think Kyle’s okay with that.

7. Do you look at the meaning of the name or just the name itself?

Usually just the name itself, but there’s some names that are obvious to their meaning, like Justin/Justine being “justice.” I’ll probably do a little research so my child doesn’t have to discover than his or her name means “a whale’s vagina” a la Ron Burgundy.

8. Do you name pets with human names (Sally, Henry) or with pet names (Fluffy, Mr. Bo Bo)?

Usually I name my dogs with human names. Cats are 50/50, and everything else usually has pet names.

9. Are there any names that you have an affinity or dislike for based on a childhood experience/someone you once knew?

There are definitely names we don’t like based on people we knew in high school who were unsavoury, but I won’t share them :)

10. What are some of your favourite names? Why?

They are “normal” names, but again, I’m not sharing. Mostly because I’m afraid someone going to steal the name. (I know a lot of pregnant ladies at the moment, holy moly! I think that getting married is starting to be “so last year,” lol)

Double Lives in Art and Pop Music
Jörg Heiser Sternberg Press

Double Lives in Art and Pop Music

Release date

March 2020

Sternberg Press

1.5 lbs

6.2 x 1 x 9.2 "

Why did Andy Warhol decide to enter the music business by producing the Velvet Underground, and what did the band expect to gain in return? What made Yoko Ono use the skills she developed in the artistic avant-garde in pop music, and what drew John Lennon, in turn, to visual art? Why, in 1982, did Joseph Beuys record the pop single “Sonne statt Reagan,” and why, around the same time did, West German artists such as Michaela Melián move into pop music?

In Double Lives in Art and Pop Music, Jörg Heiser argues that context shifting between art and pop music is an attempt to find solutions for contradictions faced in one field of cultural production. Heiser looks closely at the careers of artists and pop musicians who work in both fields professionally. The seeming acceptance and effortlessness today of current border crossings can be deceptive, since they might be serving vested economic or ideological interests. Exploring a pop and art history of more than fifty years, Heiser shows that those leading double lives in art and pop music may often be best able to detect these vested interests while he points toward radical alternatives.

TripAdvisor’s Top 10 Wine Destinations Includes Long Island

December 23rd, 2009 by Marilyn Marks

The North Fork of Long Island has long been known for having access to many wineries.  Now TripAdvisor has named it one of the Top 10 Wine Destinations!  This is very exciting for North Fork to be included as a top wine destination along with California’s Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

The North Fork of Long Island was once home to many potato farms.  Gradually the farms were converted to growing grapes and now there are over 30 wineries on the North Fork of Long Island.  The wineries cover thousands of acres of vineyards and are located a short distance from the Shorecrest Bed and Breakfast.  The wineries are open year-round and many feature wine tasting.  Additionally, they have wine clubs and host musical entertainment and wine dinners throughout the year.  The wineries are also perfect locations to host weddings, especially as the sun sets over the vineyard.

Visit the North Fork of Long Island and check out our wineries!  You will not be disappointed.

Will cryptocurrency miners want to legalize

Although the Ukrainian government has promised assistance to crypto businessmen, they still need to be careful and comply with the law as much as possible.

Everything goes to the taxation of the crypto business. And actually no one hides it. The officially declared goal is to remove mining from the shadows and replenish the budget.

The appearance of cryptocurrency mining in the classifier of types of economic activity (CED) will help to detail the conditions if miners want to pay taxes in Ukraine. The main thing is that this KVED, for example, does not subsequently appear in the list of activities prohibited for single tax payers. Or they’ll take, for example, they will declare “kryptonhedra” the property of the people of Ukraine, and they will issue licenses for the extraction of useful cryptocurrencies.

What will the QED provide? It will become clearer how to fill out a registration card for this type of activity. This is especially important for FLP - single tax payers. In KVED it is possible to keep records, write off expenses, and only theoretically pay taxes.

But this is not enough. Let's say a miner received income in bitcoins. What is it in the context of taxation? The versions are different. Deputies declare it as movable property, lawyers would like to see it as an investment or intangible asset, someone is talking about currency. In fact, cryptocurrencies allegedly do not exist in our legal reality.

You conjured, for example, of electrons, zeros and ones yourself bitcoins as movable property. Let's say it needs to be put on balance. It is unclear at what price. This property itself is not subject to taxation. You pay the tax already when you receive income from the sale. There is bill No. 7183, which has been hanging in the Verkhovna Rada (BP) since the end of last year, in which the cryptocurrency received as a result of mining, as a reward to the miner, is already called an object of taxation. Just how to evaluate the base is not clear.

If you do not understand the status of the “crypt”, then at least with the KVED, even without the KVED, it is incomprehensible how to tax VAT on the sale of mined goods. If this property, then there will be VAT. What to write in this case on the tax invoice. And a bunch of questions related to the identification of owners of purses, place of income and so on.

I do not think that the MEA for mining has appeared to include it in the tax break classifier. Although other bills 7183-1 and 7246 times provide for tax benefits for this type of activity.

Even the NEA refers directly to the issue of electricity tariffs. And who knows how the regulator will approach this, they will set higher tariffs for this type of activity or, conversely, preferential rates. By the way, another bill 7183-1, which lies in the Verkhovna Rada, provides for just preferential rates.

With QEDA, you can safely include mining in audit plans, assign them risk criteria. Gosstat will also be glad that one more Excel plate can be downloaded to the website about the volume of the crypto-mining industry. And the Ministry of Finance will be able to calculate how much next year it is possible to cut taxes from this fertile field.

Of course, it is very nice that the profession of a miner will appear. Maybe when the miners' dream comes true - to include their QED in the “hot” network, and they will become preferential pensioners.

But the thesis about legalization is a bit annoying. Mining has never been a forbidden activity, it's not the cultivation of marijuana. It turns out that the government says that they want to reduce force pressure on business. In fact, they themselves contribute to this pressure when they talk about “legalization”. According to their logic, everything that happened before the appearance of the KVED was illegal. I don’t know how the presence of the KVED can reduce the force pressure - there are no fewer articles in the criminal code to decide on a search.

KVED is a good occasion to hang in ministerial offices and facebook on the topic of promoting crypto business. And for the crypto community - an occasion to breathe. But it's too early to exhale. And it’s better - they themselves actively intervene in the government’s writing of the rules of work for the critical business.

You are so talented Alexa! That is absolutely beautiful and I bet you thoroughly enjoyed your creative time painting it.

WOW that pear looks good enough to take a nibble of. What a wonderful gift from your daughter to pair perfectly with your gifts & talents.

Karen Walker

I love watercolors, but struggle sometimes even using stamped images. Your work is simply gorgeous! The composition is perfect as is your technique. Looking forward to MUCH MORE!

You are very talented - that's a beautiful card!

Beautiful Alexa! You are Karen are definitely giving me the itch to play with watercolors!

Melissa Gross

WOW - fantastic job Karen! Looking forward to seeing more creative watercoloring from you!

Wow that is beautiful, I love the look of watercolours, and yes it is very addictive and fun to sit down with paints and just play :) Looking forward to seeing more xx

Susan Bowers

So fantastic Alexa! You are a natural artist! So beautiful.

Melissa Gross

LOL Alexa - I catch up on a ton of blog reading yesterday ... can you tell! I was leaving comments for everyone, even Karen. I'm on the computer today & had to jump back on and say how I love that your blog header mirrors the colors in your painting!! :) Did you just change it ... or have I just not been paying attention? :|

That is so pretty. The joy you are expressing in water-coloring certainly translated to that card.

I'm so sure that I commented on this post before, but I can't see it and that's not to matter, because it deserves another recognition anyway. I would love to be more comfortable and skilled with water colour, it is such a lovely medium to use. I went on a workshop last year where we used water colour and in my enthusiasm I bought more books with intent of practicing. Mmmmm… I wonder why I still lack the skill? LOL

Sharon Fritchman

Your water-colored card is absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful job! These watercolours are so pretty. I need to try this!
