Listening

Exploring the musical archives with captivation at both a very young age and later as music radio presentator, club DJ & musicologist - I discovered only snippets of an estimated 97 million songs even though I went all the way back to the 17th century! If you love music, then you'll know it's not just entertainment but a spritual soulful experiene ("I hear my compositions as a single point of light, all I do is hold that point of light in my mind whilst I write it down" Wolfgang Mozart) So let's immense ourselves in our passion by enjoying music, singing, dancing with drinks in hand whilst broadening our music knowledge and exposure by discovering new material, artists and even genres at fun musically themed night out for passionate music lovers in the UK home of rock n roll - Camden of course! Contemporary or old - you must be passionate about music which means you will be prepared to talk about your favourite song(s) and or artist(s), influences and underlying reasons at ease. What is it that makes them stand out and unique? Does the song have personal relevance to you? Are the lyrics poetic or a philosophical masterpiece like in some old hip-hop or is it about the sound of the vocals or hypnotic melodies? Did the song (or artist) play a pivotal role in shaping political change & influence in society (yes some musicians have even died for their artform) or the evolution of new music genres, sub cultures and underground music movements today? Was Lennon & McCartney the greatest ever singer song writer combo or have you heard better? Who are the best all time music producers & song writers - Max Martin, Billy Joel, George Martin, Quincy Jones, Bernie Taupin, Dr Dre, Carole King? Did PWL records destroy the British music scene or contribute to it? We can also touch on influential music producers, labels, DJs and radio stations as well. Discussion on all elements of musicology and enablers is up for grabs. If you can - come prepared with links to samples (feel free to post youtube and other links in the comments section below) to demonstrate or be willing to sing/rap some lyrics so we can get an idea. Funky dance moves optional. =========RENDEZVOUS POINT ================= We will meet inside Amy Winehouse's local - the Hawley Arms. I'll be wearing Starwars lanyard and will share my number an hour before the event in the comments in case of issues finding us. We will spend about an average of 90 mins per bar. Lucas

# ONLINE Tenses Boot Camp – Week 1: Present Simple (6-Week Intensive for Working Professionals) ## What This Is This is a structured **6-week Tenses Boot Camp** designed for working professionals who use English at work but still feel unsure about their grammar under pressure. Each week focuses on one tense. Week 6 consolidates everything so you can actually use the tenses naturally and confidently. This is not random grammar practice. It’s systematic, practical, and built for real professional communication. *** ## The 6-Week Structure * Week 1 – Present Simple * Week 2 – Present Continuous * Week 3 – Past Simple * Week 4 – Past Continuous * Week 5 – Future (will / going to) * Week 6 – Consolidation: Using All Tenses Together By the end, you’ll understand: * what each tense is actually for * how to stop mixing them up * how to form negatives correctly * how to ask questions naturally * how to use the right tense at the right time. * * Week 1 – Present Simple Most professionals were “taught” the present simple years ago. But many still: * hesitate with third person (he works / she works) * get confused forming negatives (doesn’t / don’t) * struggle to form clean questions * mix present simple and present continuous * sound unnatural when describing their role This session fixes that properly. We will cover: * When we really use the present simple at work * Structure (affirmative / negative / questions) * Common mistakes professionals make * Live speaking practice in work contexts * Error correction and clarification Everyone will speak. Everyone will practise. You’ll also receive structured homework to reinforce the session. *** ## Who This Is For * Working professionals using English at work * People who feel their tenses aren’t “solid” * Professionals who want clarity and structure * People who were taught grammar but never fully mastered it *** ## Who This Is Not For * Students * Hobby learners * Passive listeners * People looking for casual conversation only This is a focused, professional environment. *** ## Practical Details * £10 per session * Small group (maximum 6 participants) * 1 hour (may extend to 1.5 hours if group is full and engaged) * Online via Microsoft Teams Only confirmed and paid participants will receive the Teams link. *** ## Why This Boot Camp Works Many professionals don’t lack vocabulary. They lack clarity. When tenses are unclear: * confidence drops * speech becomes hesitant * mistakes repeat * authority weakens This Boot Camp gives you a clear mental structure so your English feels controlled, not chaotic. If you’ve been using English for years but still feel unsure about your tenses, this is exactly what this course is designed to fix. Dates for the first 3 weeks: What happens if I'm unavailable for a session? The subjects are standalone so it won't matter too much. Pay for the next session and let me know and I'll send you some catch up material. How do I pay/sign up/attend etc? I'll send you a link to pay by paypal (by email) when you've RSVP'd Once you've paid, I'll send you some preparation tasks, things to do before the class. I'll also send you the TEAMS link to enter the class Price: £10 Entry to the class ends 5 minutes after the Teams room opens. If you're not in the class by then, you won't be admitted. If you have any questions please send me an email speakenglishwithconfidence01@gmail.com

*Is privacy a fundamental human right?* *Should privacy ever be sacrificed for security?* *How does surveillance change how we behave?* *Is privacy necessary for democracy?* This time we will be discussing the **right to privacy** in the relative privacy of an upstairs room of a North London pub! No walk this time (due to a broken toe)! Instead we will head indoors and experiment with a different format - a talk and discussion session. Meet at 2pm at the Star of Kings pub in King's Cross, upstairs in the green room. If you want to do some reading on the subject I recommend **The Right to Oblivion** by Lowry Pressly: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Right-Oblivion-Privacy-Good-Life/dp/067430490X A YouTube video on the same book by Unsolicited Advice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5sx5nGNIyc If you have any other recommendations on the subject feel free to post in the commends below. There will be a short presentation then group discussions. This group encourages friendly, constructive conversations rather than confrontational debates; so give everyone space to talk, be respectful and actively listen to others. It's not about 'winning' a debate but about expressing your opinion and learning about other people's views. Admission £5, if you are a student, unemployed or retired then you can attend for free. You can pay in cash or card on the walk or online with this link: [https://pay.tide.co/products/philosophy-kfDyHrXZ](https://pay.tide.co/products/philosophy-kfDyHrXZ) **This event is supported by the Royal Institute of Philosophy.**

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
