Plans for New Music Centre Raise Eyebrows

Georgia McMillan analyses the University’s latest project.

The musical talent is undeniable at St Andrews. From private practices to carol concerts, music is a core activity enjoyed by hundreds of pupils at the University. While music is undoubtedly an important part of any institution, or culture at that, proposed plans for a new 8-million-pound music centre leave some in St Andrews wondering just how much attention one discipline needs.

The new music centre plans, designed by architect Flanagan Lawrence, were initially released at a public exhibition event in late January. Since, bulletin boards and a feedback box have been provided at Younger Hall for public scrutiny.

While the proposed proxy images for the centre will give a new, modern appeal, there has been some contention over the issue.

On one hand, we have keen musicians and teachers looking forward to a state of the art centre which will expand their musical abilities, and attract young talent at open days. Musical student Katie Hastings thinks that the centre will be a “great asset to the university,” while Mamie Kirk, a member of the Opera Society, mentioned that they often have to practice in alternate locations as “Younger [Hall] is not big enough to accommodate the interest in music [within St Andrews]”.  With teaching and practice spaces, a rehearsal studio, recording suite, and library, the facility should do more than “meet the needs of the Music Centre in the context of students, staff and wider community interests.” (St Andrews University bulletin boards)

There are also those more interested in the price tag on such projects and the environmental logistics of the location. According to current plans, the centre is to be located in Queens Terrace next to St Mary’s Quad in replacement of a parking lot, temporary buildings, and a number of mature trees in the surrounding area.

In regards to the environmental aspect of potentially disrupting ecological cycles in the area, the University says that it will strive to “protect as many trees as possible and proactively manage the position of those going forward” and has already begun a “phase 1 habitat survey” to “understand the baseline ecology position” of the area.

While any big project like this will have some backlash in one form or another, the University has tried to make the project as amicable as possible by addressing any issues that may be presented prematurely: the environmental issue explained above for example. As for those who have qualms about their tuition money going to a new music building: It isn’t. The University has stated that they plan on paying for the centre entirely through philanthropy, backed with the help of several lead donors, who have already raised £5 million for the project.

While this mode of funding is preferable, some students still wonder why the money and space is not being put towards additional accommodation, considering the well-known housing shortage within St Andrews. Similarly, according to Matilda Sample, a member of the rowing team, many sports teams who receive very limited funding from the university are not very happy about 8 million pounds being set aside for a new project.

Although it is impossible to please everyone, the Universities’ public exhibition and feedback box will hopefully clear up any real contentions about the project. If all goes to plan, building will commence in early 2018 and by 2019 our musicians will have a brand new facility to play in.

  3. Brands that manufacture chronometer watches
    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Criteria
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Switzerland testing agency that certifies the accuracy and precision of wristwatches. COSC validation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its own strict criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO calibre, attaining comparable precision.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which delivers energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to external elements that may affect its precision. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, highest variation levels, and impacts of temperature changes.
    Why COSC Accreditation Is Important
    For watch aficionados and collectors, a COSC-certified timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a proof to enduring excellence and precision. It symbolizes a timepiece that:

    Provides outstanding dependability and precision.
    Offers confidence of superiority across the complete design of the timepiece.
    Is probable to hold its value better, making it a smart investment.
    Famous Timepiece Brands
    Several renowned brands prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Spirit, which showcase COSC-validated movements equipped with advanced substances like silicon balance suspensions to improve durability and efficiency.

    Historical Background and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The concept of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for exact chronometry for navigation at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for assessing the precision of luxury timepieces, maintaining a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to excellence and accuracy. For those valuing precision above all, the COSC certification offers peace of thoughts, ensuring that each validated timepiece will operate reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment decision, COSC-certified timepieces stand out in the world of watchmaking, carrying on a tradition of careful timekeeping.

    로드스탁과 레버리지 스탁: 투자법의 새로운 지평

    로드스탁을 통해 제공하는 레버리지 스탁은 주식 투자법의 한 방식으로, 상당한 수익률을 목적으로 하는 투자자들에게 유혹적인 옵션입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 전략은 투자자가 자신의 투자금을 초과하는 투자금을 투입할 수 있도록 하여, 주식 시장에서 더 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 방법을 제공합니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 기본적으로 자금을 빌려 사용하는 방식입니다. 사례를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 취득할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자들이 일반적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 더욱 많은 주식을 취득하여, 주식 가격이 증가할 경우 해당하는 더 큰 수익을 가져올 수 있게 합니다. 그렇지만, 주식 값이 떨어질 경우에는 그 피해 또한 증가할 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 전략과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 가능성이 상당한 사업체에 적용할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 회사에 높은 비중으로 적용하면, 성공적일 경우 큰 이익을 획득할 수 있지만, 그 반대의 경우 큰 위험성도 감수해야. 그러므로, 투자자들은 자신의 위험성 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해 통해, 어떤 회사에 얼마만큼의 자금을 투입할지 결정하게 됩니다 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 이점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 상당한 수익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험성 동반합니다. 증권 시장의 변동성은 예상이 어렵기 때문에, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 언제나 상장 경향을 정밀하게 주시하고, 손해를 최소로 줄일 수 있는 전략을 마련해야 합니다.

    맺음말: 조심스러운 고르기가 필수입니다
    로드스탁에서 제공된 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 강력한 투자 수단이며, 적절히 이용하면 많은 이익을 제공할 수 있습니다. 하지만 높은 리스크도 생각해 봐야 하며, 투자 결정이 필요한 사실과 조심스러운 판단 후에 이루어져야 합니다. 투자자 본인의 재정적 상태, 위험 수용 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 생각한 조화로운 투자 계획이 핵심입니다.
