Italian-American Culture in Poughkeepsie, NY - Italiani di Poughkeepsie Steven Jacobs 2020-05-15 | Italiani di Poughkeepsie is a video project created by two Marist students, Steven Jacobs and Lauren Schottenfeld. Diving into the once dense and rich world of Italian culture in the Poughkeepsie area, this video highlights some of the many historical landmarks that play a role in the conservation of Italian-American history throughout this ever-changing city. One of the focuses of this research was to show how Italian cuisine unites people worldwide, and how some of Poughkeepsie's landmarks that still stand today allow others to indulge in what makes the Italian culture so wonderful. Our goal was to provide viewers with a way to connect with their Italian roots or learn something new about the history of modern-day Poughkeepsie. We hope you enjoy the video, grazie mille!Check out our website dedicated to this project - stevenj78365.wixsite.com/mysite

Touring Noble Familys Home in Ragusa - Language Lens Ep. 13 Steven Jacobs 2019-03-14 | Centuries-old paintings, half busts, Neapolitan nativity scenes, Boulle furniture, and trinkets probably worth a semester of tuition. These are some of the things I saw while touring the home of Mr. Appiano, a man who claims to be from a very noble family in Italy. He says his ancestors include two popes, the Lady-In-Waiting of composer Vincenzo Bellini's mother, and many artists. It was truly an amazing experience to walk through such an art-filled home, learn about his family's history, and listen to him play a piece on the piano.I was not able to confirm his heritage with historical documents*

Discovering ancient Roman ruins in Sicily - Language Lens Ep. 9 Steven Jacobs 2019-02-10 | La cosiddetta Naumachia è una grande costruzione formata da un muro di contenimento in mattoni, lungo 122 metri e alto 5. L’opera fu realizzata in età romana e più precisamente nel II sec. d.C a ridosso di un preesistente muro in conci squadrati facente parte della stoà greca della città. Lo spazio fra il muro greco ed il muro romano era occupato da una grande cisterna d’acqua che doveva servire per l’approvvigionamento idrico della parte mediana della città, nonché per l’alimentazione delle fontane, che dovevano essere presenti nelle 18 grandi nicchie, (larghe 3 metri profonde 1,70 e alte quanto il muro) che decoravano per tutta la sua lunghezza la parte esposta del muro; alterne ad esse delle piccole nicchie che contenevano statue di divinità e di eroi. Il nome Naumachia significa letteralmente "battaglia navale" e fu dato al nostro monumento impropriamente dal D’Orville che lo interpretò come un’area che accoglieva un circo acquatico, realizzato dai Romani per le rappresentazioni di battaglie navali. L’autore fu smentito dal Gallo, che interpretò il monumento come una grande palestra Ginnasio adiacente all’area del Foro dove si curava l'educazione psico-fisica dei giovani. – Comune di Taormina

The Gilets Jaunes in France - Language Lens Ep. 7 Steven Jacobs 2018-12-10 | This video is about the 'Gilets Jaunes' (Yellow Jackets) movement that has been going on in France for the past several weeks in response to President Macron's recent tax on fuel and more generally, his controversial year and a half in office which has left him with an approval rating hovering around 25% (worse than Bush after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and crashing the economy.) My friend Jake and I each interview one person in front of the Notre-Dâme de Fourvière Basilica in Lyon, France on December 9th during our visit to the city for the Fête des Lumières.The first 1.25 minutes of footage was taken from RT France and Le Mèdia and is being used for educational purposes only.***Recent measures announced by President Macron in response to the movement, quoted from Le Monde: "Main measures announced: an increase of € 100 per month of workers' income to the minimum wage from 2019, the cancellation for this year of the CSG for pensioners earning less than € 2,000 a month and the abolition of taxes and charges for overtime as early as 2019. The President of the Republic has also asked companies "who can" to pay an end-of-year bonus to employees, which will be tax-free. On the wealth tax (ISF), however, the head of state refused to backtrack.""Principales mesures annoncées : une augmentation de 100 euros par mois du revenu des travailleurs au smic dès 2019, l’annulation pour cette année de la CSG pour les retraités gagnant moins de 2000 euros par mois et la suppression des impôts et charges pour les heures supplémentaires dès 2019. Le président de la République a par ailleurs demandé aux entreprises « qui le peuvent » de verser une prime de fin d’année aux salariés, qui sera défiscalisée. Sur l’impôt sur la fortune (ISF) en revanche, le chef de l’Etat a refusé de faire machine arrière."
