101+ Free NYC Summer 2012 Concerts June 25, 2012
Summer in NYC: 101+ Free NYC Summer 2012 Concerts June 25, 2012 Now that the summer is officially here, I am hard at work compiling recommendations for (primarily) free summer outings. Initially, I was going to do a post regarding my top 8 favorite free family-friendly NYC Summer concerts. I like to make sure that I don’t miss anything, so I compiled a comprehensive list of choices first. When I did this in an Excel sheet, it ended up being over 101 different free NYC summer concerts being held this summer! In any event, I decided to do two posts – this one (that is comprehensive) and another one (with my top 8 family-friendly picks) later in the week. FYI: Several of the picks on this list are series with multiple concerts, so I batched them together. Also, this comprehensive list includes several concerts that will primarily appeal to adults. (We moms can enjoy them with our husbands, partners and other adult friends.) Enjoy! Brooklyn -8th Annual Afropunk Festival August 25th – 26th Held in Commodore Barry Park, it features a diverse mix of performers including Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae and more. -Albee Square Summer Concerts for Kids – Downtown Brooklyn Thursdays (May 17th to August 23rd) at 10am Kid-friendly performances. -BAM R&B Festival at MetroTech Thursdays (June 7th through August 9th) at noon There are still 7 more acts in this outdoor concert series featuring R&B legends and emerging stars. -Bargemusic Presents: “Music In Motion” Every Saturday afternoon (June to August) at 3pm There are Q & A sessions with the musicians after these one hour neighborhood family concert performances. -

Central Park Spring Guide
This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak. -
What Should We Teach Children About Forgiveness?
What should we teach children about forgiveness? Alonso: But, O, how oddly will it sound, that I Must ask my child forgiveness? Prospero: There sir stop, Let us not burthen our remembrances, with A heaviness that’s gone. (Shakespeare, Tempest, V,I) In 1998 the president of the Bible Society called on the nation to forgive David Beckham for getting himself sent off in England’s World Cup match against Argentina, after it was reported that in a TV poll 40% of fans said they could not forgive his foul (The Guardian, 13 July, 1998).1 In 1999 President Clinton asked God, his wife and the American people for forgiveness for lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. The Pope, perhaps helpfully for Beckham and Clinton, declared 2000 to be a special Holy Year, a year of forgiveness, freeing sinners from time in purgatory (The Guardian, 28 November 1998). We seem to live in a culture of forgiveness in which there is pressure on wrongdoers to seek forgiveness and on others to forgive them. How far should this be reflected in the way we educate children? Should teachers and parents teach children to forgive one another? The Primary and Secondary Handbooks on the National Curriculum both include under the entry about the promotion of moral development across the curriculum the statement that children should ‘learn how to forgive themselves and others’ (Handbook for Primary Teachers, DfEE/QCA, 1999: 19; Handbook for Secondary Teachers, DfEE/QCA, 1999: 21). But what is involved in encouraging forgiveness? Is it an unambiguous notion? Is there even a danger that it could involve fostering in children some ethically questionable attitudes? 1 Forgiveness is one response to having been wronged. -
