Monette Shuttleworth from the Himalayan Institute of Pittsburgh leads this monthly program. She will provide background, support tips and answer any questions!
Yin Yoga is slow-paced and meditative in nature and serves to complement to more active yoga (Yang) styles. Yin Yoga emphasizes passive postures held for several minutes at a time, with muscles in a relaxed state. The connective tissue in and around the muscles and joints is targeted. Ultimately, Yin Yoga promotes the vitality, hydration, mobility and strength of the connective tissue. It also enhances a balanced flow of energetic circulation leading to a state of calmness, contentment and an overall lasting feeling of relaxation. Please bring a yoga mat, a pillow, and beach towel to support your practice. Registration helpful, but not necessary.

We are so fortunate that we have such a strong library community. As the year comes to a close, let's spend some meaningful time together. Please join us for a convivial evening gathering to celebrate and converse about what a welcoming community means to us.
As we reflect upon what a welcoming community looks like, we will be guided by words, phrases and questions that our high school students are exploring in their "community pledge" project. This project is inspired by similar efforts in Birmingham, Richmond and the organization "Not In Our Town." Students have been in discussion on how they can create a more tolerant, respectful, inclusive and safe school and community that moves closer to Dr. King's vision of a beloved community.
Library staff and Mt. Lebanon High School history teacher, Pete DiNardo will be on hand to facilitate the conversation.
We will be serving seasonal small bites both savory and sweet. Registration is required. For additional information please contact Sharon Bruni at 412.942.0932

Julie Mallis
Julie Mallis is a multimedia artist, VJ and educator working with digital media, paint, installation, performance, sound and audience interaction. Their work focuses on building community, audio-visual experiences, speaking truth to power, and imagining new landscapes.
Mallis has exhibited, performed and curated work across the United States including at The Andy Warhol Museum, The Carnegie Museum of Art, The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Coaxial Arts Foundation, PhilaMOCA, MOCA Cleveland, Baby's All Right, The Silent Barn, Fringe Arts and more. Mallis has a joint degree in Studio Art with a concentration in Electronic Time-Based Media and in Cultural Anthropology from Carnegie Mellon University.
Mallis helped develop and carry out artist exhibitions and programming of creative hub BOOM Concepts, from 2014 through 2018 as the founding Creative Director. They were recognized as Creator of the Year by the Pittsburgh Technology Council in 2016, alongside longtime collaborator and BOOM Concepts co-founder DS Kinsel. In 2018, they were commissioned to paint a 1000+ feet mural on the ground of Strawberry Way in Downtown Pittsburgh. It features colorful imagery interlaced within an interactive game asking bold questions about equity and justice to the audience.
In addition to their work as an artist, they have built up and led the Positive Spin youth cycling program over the last decade. Across two different organizations in Pittsburgh (Bike Pittsburgh and MGR Youth Empowerment) they worked tirelessly with Pittsburgh public schools and area charter schools to ensure students in grades 4-12 had enriching and engaging after school and summer activities related to bike safety. Engaging with all people about bike safety became central to their work with Bike Pittsburgh for many years, resulting in them organizing and hosting Bike Pittsburgh’s 6th annual women and non-binary biking forum. This forum sought to add elements of solidarity, community, and understanding amongst women and non-binary people through the lens of biking and transportation accessibility.
These same themes of community, solidarity, personal enrichment, and accessibility run through all endeavors Mallis is involved with. Currently, Mallis is the Program Director at social justice based service organization, Repair The World. Whether at work or in the artist’s studio, their vision is constantly aimed towards how to better the future for themselves and other people, one day at a time.
Talk
Growing up in a diverse area of Philadelphia, Julie learned the value of diversity of all kinds at an early age. With great grandparents from both sides of the family who fled state sponsored pogroms and persecution across Eastern Europe, and family who remained whose lives were taken due to the Holocaust, Mallis understands the power of resiliency, the importance of taking action for marginalized people, and the amazing worlds that solidarity across differences can build. Socioeconomic divisions matched with tensions across race, ability, citizenship and more can pit groups of people against one another. Instead, Mallis seeks to find unity, bring people away from isolation, and create a more welcoming and inclusive community. As the US was built on slavery, and we've seen these systems repeat and redefine themselves, we know that treating other humans with dignity and respect is the least we can do to foresee a safer and brighter tomorrow. Let us not forget history.

The strategies of Civil War Navies and the impact of Great Britain and France tends to be under-emphasized and poorly understood.
-Union offensive naval strategies differed markedly from more defensive Confederate strategies.
-Britain and its Colonies remained technically neutral during the war but recognized the United States and Confederacy as “Belligerent” actors. Within this framework, the British could supply guns and ammunition to both actors. The building of warships on British territory was forbidden; however, a number of important Confederate Commerce Raiders and Blockade Runners were custom built or purchased and were able to surreptitiously escape and cause serious havoc to Union commerce and the Union Naval Blockade surrounding the Confederate coastline. Military historians have suggested if England and France had become centers of warship building for the Confederacy the Civil War would have been profoundly affected.
-Confederate ship building efforts in Great Britain were causing very high levels of tension between Britain and the United States. At this time, the Royal Navy was the largest, most powerful naval force in the world. A Union war with Britain and its Colonies would also have had a profound impact on the War.
-British Canadian Provinces were “hot beds” of Confederate guerrillas and terrorists that attempted to cause havoc on the Union’s northern frontier - including the Great Lakes, a number of Northern cities, etc.
