Tampines Regional Library

Tampines Regional Library (Chinese: 淡滨尼区域图书馆; Malay: Perpustakaan Wilayah Tampines) is a library located in Tampines New Town, Singapore. It is the first regional library in Singapore.

The library was officially re-opened on 5 August 2017 and relocated at the premises of Our Tampines Hub.

History

It was first opened at 31 Tampines Avenue 7, Singapore 529620 on 3 December 1994 by then Senior Minister of State for Education and Health Aline Wong.

The 6,208-square metre library was upgraded in 1998 to include better facilities. A Chinese library service was inaugurated in May 1998, after the signing of Understanding of Memorandum with the National Libraries of Beijing and Shanghai. The library also has conference and exhibition facilities. The library houses over 235,000 books with 63,000 books in Chinese, the largest collection of Chinese books in the library network. There is a vast collection of materials on overseas Chinese and children's books. The library also has a children's playhouse on the ground floor, IT and business books and microfilm services. It was temporarily closed on 4 June 2017 for upgrading.

It was reopened on 5 August that year at its new location, Our Tampines Hub at Level 2. The renovation increased floor space by 76 percent and seating capacity by 98 percent, while boosting the library's collection to over 400,000 books. New facilities included a culinary studio, 700m running track and indoor playground. Another addition was a branch of PIXEL Labs@NLB which allowed the public to utilise technology like 3D printers and hardware kits for free while creating a space for technology-related workshops and talks.

Transport links

Situated close to the Tampines MRT station and bus interchange, the library covers a floor area of 12,600 square metres.

Lilli Schweiger

Lilli Camille Schweiger (born 17 July 1998) is a German child actress. She is best known for her performance in the 2007 film Keinohrhasen and its 2009 sequel Zweiohrküken, both of which were directed by her father Til Schweiger.

Family
Lilli Camille Schweiger was born on 17 July 1998 in Berlin to German actor Til Schweiger and American fashion model Dana Carlsen. She is the third of four children, after Valentin (born 1995) and Luna (born 1997), and before Emma (born 2002). She suffered from Leukemia for four years from age 7 to age 11. All four of them are child actors, having all appeared in the 2007 film Keinohrhasen and its 2009 sequel Zweiohrküken, directed by their father. Her parents separated in 2005. Schweiger now lives with her mother in Hamburg.

Career
Schweiger made her film debut as Sascha in Keinohrhasen (2007), co–starring Nora Tschirner and her father Til Schweiger, who also directed the film, and reprised her role in its 2009 sequel, Zweiohrküken. Her brother and sisters, Valentin and Luna and Emma Tiger also appeared in the films.

She modeled with Roma e Toska in 2011.

Filmography


Ibrahim Metwaly

Ibrahim Metwaly Hegazy is an Egyptian lawyer and human rights activist and a member of the Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms. In September 2017, Metwaly was detained by the Egyptian security services. He had been investigating the death in Egypt of the Italian student Giulio Regeni. On 10 September 2017, he was thrown into Tora Prison.

His detention was criticised by the governments of the UK, Canada, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.


Back-arc region

The back-arc region is the area behind a volcanic arc. In island volcanic arcs it consists of back-arc basins of oceanic crust with abyssal depths, which may be separated by remnant arcs, similar to island arcs. In continental arcs the back-arc region is part of continental platform, either dry land (subaerial) or forming shallow marine basins.

Formation
Back-arc deformation is a product of subduction at convergent plate tectonic boundaries. It initiates and evolves behind the volcanic arc on the overriding plate of a subduction zone. The stresses responsible for the deformation in this region of a subduction zone result from a combination of processes. The absolute motion of the upper plate as it moves towards or away from the trench strongly contributes to deformation in the back-arc region. Since the downgoing slab is partly anchored in the viscous layers of the mantle, and therefore its lateral movement is significantly slower than the surface plate, then any motion of the overriding  plate will cause extensional or compressional stress in the back-arc region depending on the direction of motion. In addition, mantle convection in the upper mantle wedge caused by the downward movement of the subducted slab causes stress in the upper plate and the high heat flow that characterizes back-arcs. The pulling effect of the slab as it goes down into the mantle causes a rollback motion of the trench, which also applies stress on the back-arc region of the upper plate. However, this last process has less of an impact on deformation compared to upper plate motion.

Back-arcs can form on either oceanic crust or continental crust. In the case of oceanic crust, most back-arc regions are subjected to tensional stresses and thus develop a spreading center where new oceanic crust is formed. The composition of this new crust  is similar to MORB, although it contains higher amounts of water.

Back-arc extension vs. compression
The back-arc deformation may be either extensional or compressional. The overriding plate will shorten when its motion is directed towards the trench, resulting in a compression of the back-arc region. This type of deformation is associated with a shallow dipping subducted slab. Inversely, an overriding plate moving away from the trench will result in extension, and a back-arc basin will form. This extensional deformation is associated with a steeply dipping slab.

The extreme cases of these two types of back-arc deformation can be found in Chile and at the Marianas arc. The shallow dipping slab subducting beneath Chile at an angle of about 10–15° causes a compressional stress on the back-arc region behind the Andes. On the other extreme, the slab going down into the mantle at the Marianas subduction zone is so steep it is nearly vertical. This is the perfect example of an oceanic back-arc basin experiencing extensional forces. The Oriente in Ecuador (the eastern part of the country covered by rainforest) is also a good example of an extensional back-arc basin, this time in a continental setting. The continental crust in this area east of the Andes has been stretched out and covered by layers of sediments.


Mabarrat Muhammad 'Ali

Mabarrat Muhammad ῾Ali, the Muhammad ῾Ali Benevolent Society, is an Egyptian charitable women's organization established in Cairo in 1909.

The origins of the organization were in a health clinic established and financed by Princess Ayn-al-Hayat Rifaat at Abdeen, a poor Cairo neighbourhood. The Princess stipulated that the organization's president should always be a princess of the family, and that all committee members should be women. The society was codirected by two aristocratic women, the Muslim Hidaya Afifi Barakat (1899-1969) and the Christian Mary Khalil (1889-1979). It survived the 1952 Revolution, when many independent organizations were closed down. The society's hospitals were eventually nationalized in 1964, by which time they had treated around 13 million women.


The Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) is a worldwide organization of 29 member countries. It was created as the result of a conference on Asian cinema organized by Cinemaya, the Asian Film Quarterly, in New Delhi in 1990 at the instance and with the support of UNESCO, Paris.

Headquartered in Singapore, the NETPAC is a pan-Asian film cultural organization involving critics, filmmakers, festival organizers and curators, distributors and exhibitors, as well as film educators. It is considered a leading authority on Asian cinema. Since 1990, it has programmed Asian sections of international film festivals, introduced filmmakers from Asia to the world, brought out a compendium of the existing film infrastructure in different Asian countries, organized seminars and conferences and instituted an award for the Best Asian Film at festivals like Singapore, Busan, Jeonju, Kerala, Kazakhstan and Osian's Cinefan among those in Asia; Berlin, Locarno, Karlovy Vary, Rotterdam, Vesoul and others in Europe; at Brisbane in Australia; Hawaii in the US; Antalya in Turkey and Black Nights in Estonia.

The NETPAC Award is given at select international film festivals to promote Asian cinema by spotlighting exceptional films and discovering new talents. Among filmmakers who have won this award multiple times are Sri Lanka's Prasanna Vithanage (7 times); China's Wang Xiaoshuai (thrice) and Hao Jie (thrice); the Philippines' Lav Diaz (thrice) and Brillante Mendoza (thrice); Malaysia's Ho Yuhang (thrice); South Korea's Kim Ki-duk (thrice), Jeon Soo-il (twice), and Lee Hae-jun (twice); Singapore's Boo Junfeng (twice), Royston Tan (twice), and Kan Lume (twice); India's Adoor Gopalakrishnan (twice), Shyamaprasad (twice), and P. Sheshadri (twice); Indonesia's Garin Nugroho (twice) and Riri Riza (twice); Iran's Rakhshān Banietemad (twice); Japan's Hiromasa Hirosue (twice) and Sion Sono (twice); Kazakhstan's Serik Aprymov (twice), Rustem Abdrashov (twice), Emir Baigazin (twice), and Nariman Turebayev (twice); Kyrgyzstan's Marat Sarulu (twice); Nepal's Kesang Tseten Lama (twice); and Taiwan's Doze Niu (twice).

James Kelham

James Kelham (1796 – 1 April 1882) was a New Zealand businessman and politician.

Biography

He arrived in Wellington in the ship London in 1842, and was the New Zealand Company's accountant in Wellington. He was prominent in Wellington's early business community, and was elected as first chairman of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce in 1856.

He represented the City of Wellington in the 1st New Zealand Parliament, but resigned on 3 August 1855.  He also served on the Wellington Provincial Council, representing the City of Wellington electorate in 1856. He was made a Justice of the Peace in 1870. He owned land in Lower Hutt where he had a cottage built in the 1870s or 1880s; the building is these days the gatehouse of Vogel House.

He is buried in St James (Anglican) Churchyard, Lower Hutt. Ward's Early Wellington erroneously says he died in 1862.


David Murray (rugby union)

David George Murray (born 7 March 1995 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently with the  in Currie Cup rugby. His regular position is loosehead prop.

Rugby career

2013–14: Craven Week and Under-19 rugby

Murray earned his first provincial selection in 2013, when he represented the Eastern Province Country Districts at the premier schools tournament in South Africa, the Under-18 Craven Week, held in Polokwane. Just two months later, he was also included in the  squad that participated in Group B of the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship. He started the final two matches of the regular season as they finished in third position to secure a semi-final spot. He also started their 45–30 victory over  in the semi-final and their 56–40 win over  in the final to help his side become Group B champions. He also started their 27–20 victory over  in the promotion play-off as his side secured promotion to Group A for 2014.

He again represented Eastern Province U19 in the 2014 Under-19 Provincial Championship. After playing off the bench in their Round One defeat to , he made ten starts in their remaining eleven matches, helping them to sixth position on the log, winning four of their twelve matches.

2015–: Under-21 and Currie Cup rugby

Murray progressed to the  team in 2015 and he immediately established himself as a first team regular, starting all twelve of their matches in Group A of the Under-21 Provincial Championship. However, the team – who were promoted from Group B at the end of the 2014 season – struggled at their new level and won just one of their matches, finishing bottom of the log.

Following serious financial problems at the  at the end of the 2015 season which saw a number of first team regular leave the union, a number of youngsters were promoted to the squad that competed in the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series. Murray was among the players named in the squad and he was named in the starting lineup for their first match of the season against the , playing the first 74 minutes of a 14–37 defeat.


Johanna Weber

Johanna Weber (8 August 1910 – 24 October 2014) was a German-born British mathematician and aerodynamicist, best known for her contributions to the development of the Handley Page Victor bomber and the Concorde.

Early life
Johanna Weber was born in a family of Walloon origin in Düsseldorf, Germany, on August 8, 1910. Her father died in the First World War. As a 'war orphan', Weber was eligible for financial support, and she attended a convent school.

In 1929, she began studies in chemistry and mathematics at the University of Cologne, but switched a year later to the University of Göttingen. She graduated with a first class honours degree in 1935, and then trained as a teacher for two years. As she did not join the Nazi party, she was not allowed to join a teaching post. Her remaining family, comprising her mother and sister, were in need of financial support, so she sought employment in the armaments industry.

Career
Weber joined Krupp in Essen as a researcher in ballistics. Her work involved tedious mathematical computations using the Brunsviga mechanical calculators.

Aerodynamics Research Institute
In 1939, Weber joined the Aerodynamics Research Institute (Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt Göttingen) in Göttingen. As part of a small theoretical team, her initial training in aerodynamics consisted of wind tunnel corrections. Here she met and began her lifelong collaboration with Dietrich Küchemann.

Scientists at Institute had by then worked out a consistent theory of flow around an aircraft. This was, however, an approximation, using singularities to represent the vortices that generated lift, and Weber was tasked with improving it. She realised that some of her work overlapped with Küchemann's research on jet engine intakes. They teamed up, with Weber doing the theoretical development and wind tunnel testing, and Küchemann setting the direction of their research based on his consultation with manufacturers. Over the period of the Second World War, they created a substantial body of work.

Royal Aircraft Establishment
Following the capture of Göttingen by the US Army in 1945, the city fell into the British occupation zone. The British paid Weber and Küchemann to compile a monograph of their researches. These would form the basis of their text Aerodynamics of Propulsion. They also encouraged German scientists to take up six month contracts at various defence facilities in the UK as part of the combined US-UK plan (Operation Paperclip and Operation Surgeon) to acquire German services and technologies. In October 1946, Küchemann joined the Aerodynamics department at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnbourough, and persuaded Weber to join him. Both of them continued to renew their six-month contracts, although both remained classed as enemy aliens, until 1953 when both were naturalised as British citizens.

Weber, as the only woman among the German scientists, was accommodated at an RAE staff hostel. She joined the Low Speed Wind Tunnels division at the RAE, which was headed by Frances Bradfield. She began experimental work on air intakes under John Seddon.

In 1946, the British Air Ministry specified a medium-range jet propelled bomber capable of carrying a nuclear weapon. The Handley Page Victor bomber was the most ambitious of the designs proposed in response. Küchemann had kept abreast of German work into swept-wing aircraft, in particular the crescent-shaped wing, and the aerodynamics of supersonic flight. The Victor would have three segmented wings of crescent shape, each with a different sweep angle. Weber assisted with the calculations, and incorporated further design improvements including the engine air inputs based on the work she had done with Küchemann during the war. Her linear and simple aerodynamic models were calculated by hand by a team of women 'computors'. In September 1945, she co-wrote with Küchemann a paper analysing the aerodynamics of the new wing and fuselage.

Weber's subsequent work with Küchemann was in improving the theory of subsonic aerodynamics. Initial methods treated wing thickness and lift in isolation. In the 1950s, she developed a simultaneous treatment of all the features of a wing (thickness, twist, sweepback, camber) to predict the air pressure distribution over it. The Vickers aircraft team then solved the inverse problem - that of determining the wing shape that best suited a required pressure distribution. The resultant wing shape, the most advanced for a civilian craft, was used on the VC10 airliner.

 Concorde
Weber also began her research into supersonic transport. In 1955, she showed that a thin delta wing with a high angle of attack could generate sufficient lift to provide the take-off and landing capability, while simultaneously enabling efficient supersonic performance. Küchemann then advocated this wing configuration with the UK Government, resulting in the support for a Mach 2  airliner by the Supersonic Transport Advisory Committee (STAC) in 1956.

In 1961, a prototype aircraft, the Handley Page HP.115, was built to test the low speed performance of the slender delta wing.

Weber made two fundamental contributions to the supersonic effort: tools to predict the drag on a slender delta-winged aircraft during supersonic flight, and shaping the wing to allow the formation of vortices at its leading edge, rather than above or below it. Her work from 1959 onwards contributed to the design and the eventual construction of the Concorde.

 Airbus
Weber reverted to subsonic researches following the Concorde. In particular, she analysed the conditions under which methods addressing airflows slower than the speed of sound continued to be applicable at supercritical levels. Her refinement of existing theories, which were based on incompressible flows, helped automate the computations to render exact, rather than approximate, solutions. One of the chief sources of aerodynamic inefficiency was the junction of the wing and the fuselage, and she was able to model its entire three-dimensional profile. These methods, along with others evolving from the development of the VC10, were used in the design of the Airbus A300B aircraft, the first wide-body twinjet in the world.

 Retirement
Weber retired in 1975 at the grade of Senior Principal Scientific Officer, and continued to be retained by the RAE as a consultant. She had nearly 100 papers to her name. In 1976, following Küchemann's death, Weber assisted in the publication of his book The Aerodynamic Design of Aircraft, published in 1978. She announced that she was done with aerodynamics after that.

Later life and death
Weber remained unmarried all her life. She lived in the RAE hostel until 1953, and then moved into a bedsit attached to Küchemann's house in Wrecclesham, Surrey, where she lived till 1961. That year, she acquired her house next door to the Küchemanns. She found it difficult to obtain a mortgage, as banks tended not to lend to single women at the time.

After retirement, Weber discovered new interests in psychology and geology, taking classes at the University of Surrey.

Weber's younger sister, to whom she was very close, had been in poor health for most of her life. Weber supported her and their mother financially, sending money to Germany, and wanted to return to them. Her sister died at the age of 50.

Weber lived in her house till 2010. She died in a nursing home in Farnham, Surrey, on 24 October 2014.

Greek hold 'em

Greek hold 'em (originally known as tight hold 'em) is a community card poker game variant of Texas hold 'em which transitioned into the evolution of Omaha hold 'em. Greek hold 'em combines the rules of Texas hold 'em and current day Omaha hold 'em. In professional poker player Doyle Brunson's book, Super/System, this version of poker was referred to as tight hold 'em.

Rules
Greek hold 'em follows the same rules as Omaha, except that each player is only dealt two cards, same as in Texas hold 'em. In Greek hold 'em each player must use both hole cards along with 3 of the total available community cards to make the strongest five card hand, unlike Texas hold 'em where each player may play the best five card poker hand from any combination of the seven cards available to them.

History
Greek hold 'em is called a transitional game between Texas and Omaha hold 'em. The game was commonly played during the 1960s in Memphis at the Greek club. Another variant was Spit in the Ocean, both are considered early variations of Omaha. In the late 1970s, Robert Turner introduced Greek hold 'em to Bill Boyd manager of the Golden Nugget at the time. By 1982, the two decided on four hole cards instead of two.

Centro de Cultura Digital

The Centre of Digital Culture (Centro de Cultura Digital, in Spanish) is a multifuncional cultural complex in Mexico City with the vocation to activities of digital art, as well as the promotion of "expressive forms in the digital world" and "his influence in the cultural and artistic life of the country". It was inaugurated on September 16, 2012. The center belongs to Secretariat of Culture.

Description
The Centre of Digital Culture is a physical and virtual space that directs  to the general public and devotes  to investigate the cultural implications, social and economic of the daily use of the digital technology. It treats, besides, of a forum of communication, artistic creation and entertainment whose aim is to promote the consciousness of what means to live in a world where the individuals are, simultaneously, “users” and “creators” of digital culture.

It is the first governmental initiative in Mexico devoted to spread and cause the production of cultural projects that are born like consequence to live in a technological world.

The cultural centre is built under the Estela de Luz, taking advantage of the spaces in its foundation.
 Terrace: it's used like gallery, with an interactive light wall and exhibitions. The greater part of the work that shows is produced by the interaction with the visitors, that recognise  to himself same like producers (factuales or potential) of culture.
 Nellie Campobello Room: cinema and video room, with capacity for 120 people. It has programming of the Cineteca National five days of the week, projects samples of independent festivals and uses  like space for conferences.
 Polyvalent space: used for experimental theatre, narration, presentations of books and electronic publications, teaching of workshops and courses with zone of bibliographic query in electronic support.
 Memorial: exhibitions of audible art and light art pieces. In the middle of the space, that is instrumented with multimedia installations, can be observed  the pillars of the monument's foundation.

History
In a first moment, the space would be allocated to an official memorial of the Independence and Mexican revolution. Afterwards of a controversy aroused by the costs of the Estela de Luz monument, the Mexican government decided to reorient the vocation of the space to a cultural centre in which it gave  emphasis to the artistic activities and of learning related with the digital art.

It was inaugurated on 16 September of the 2012 by the current secretary of Public Education, José Ángel Córdova Villalobos, and a concert by Toy Selectah, Rey Pila and Sussie 4, as well as a show of Claudio Valdés Kuri.

Southern Cross Healthcare (United Kingdom)

Southern Cross Healthcare (Group plc) was a private provider of health and social care services, predominantly through the provision of care centres for elderly and some younger people. The group was the largest provider of care homes and long term care beds in the United Kingdom, operating over 750 care homes, 37,000+ beds and employing around 41,000 staff. Following rapid expansion financed by the sale of leases of its homes, its shares fell 98% from early 2008 to early 2011, reducing its market value from £1.1bn to around £12m. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and a constituent of the FTSE Fledgling Index. The company had severe financial problems in 2011 and declared insolvency the following year.

History
The company was founded in 1996 by John Moreton, who was its chairman and chief executive until 2002. By 2002 "...it had 140 homes, was the third-largest of its kind in Europe and was heading for the stock market". In August 2002, the management backed by West Private Equity and Healthcare Investments Limited, acquired Southern Cross through an £80m management buy-out.

In September 2004, a secondary buy-out of the business by the management together with Blackstone Capital Partners followed, for £162m. Blackstone then acquired care home owner NHP (Nursing Home Properties) for £564m, which saw a competition investigation by the Office of Fair Trading. In November 2005, it also took over the Ashbourne Group of care homes, comprising 10,000 beds in 193 homes, for £85m.

Blackstone continued to grow the business under its pre-existing sale-and-leaseback strategy. Southern Cross Healthcare continued as a pure operating company, renting care homes from a number of landlord companies, including NHP which became its largest landlord. NHP was subsequently sold to investors.

In July 2006, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange, entering the FTSE 250 Index in September.

Closure
In 2007 and 2008 the Blackstone management team left and were succeeded by a new team led by William Colvin. However cracks soon began to appear and in early 2011 the company was in crisis as a direct result of an 8% reduction in occupancy. This equated to a decline in income of circa £52m. Given its upwards only rent bill (over £240m on its 750 properties) margins declined significantly creating pressure to pay landlords. With public spending cuts leading to fewer referrals (and a drop in occupancy rates from 92% to 84%), it was forced into negotiations with its landlords for rent reductions and appealed to the government for support. In early June 2011 it was announced that the company had made its own decision to withhold 30% of rent owed to avoid mass care home closure. Experts warned of a possible collapse into administration. Its shares had already fallen 98% from early 2008 to early 2011, reducing its market value from £1.1bn to around £12m.

By July 2011, attempts to rescue the company had failed, and all care homes were being taken over by their landlords. The largest landlord, NHP, owning 250 Southern Cross homes, hired Chai Patel to transfer management HC-One, a company set up by his old consultancy Court Cavendish.  The former CEO, James Buchan, waived his severance pay.

Media criticism focussed on the split from the landlord entity, as the sale and leaseback strategy continued by Blackstone Group had crippled Southern Cross with an unsustainable business model. Blackstone denied responsibility, stating that the company had been in good order when it sold it five years previously and reaffirmed the 8% reduction in occupancy combined with an 11% increase in management overheads created the cash flow crisis.

The company declared insolvency in 2012.

Orchid View inquest
Late in 2011, two staff at the company's Orchid View care home in Copthorne, West Sussex, were arrested on suspicion of ill-treatment and neglect of residents.
The case had come to the notice of the authorities due to a whistleblower. A coroner's ruling in 2013 found that 19 deaths at Orchid View were unexplained, but stated that under Southern Cross' former management the home was "mismanaged and understaffed", and rife with "institutionalised abuse". A Serious Case Review was held.
Managers closed the home in 2011; it was later renamed and reopened under new management.


Tyrannomolpus

Tyrannomolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known only from Three Kings Islands, New Zealand. It contains only one species, Tyrannomolpus rex. T. rex is the largest chrysomelid beetle species endemic to New Zealand, measuring between 9.7 and 11.9 mm, and may be an example of island gigantism. It has a dark bronzy-green color with a metallic luster. Tyrannomolpus is closest to the genus Pilacolaspis from the mainland of New Zealand.

The generic name is a combination of the dinosaur genus name Tyrannosaurus and the suffix "molpus", referring to the relative large size of the genus to other chrysomelids endemic to New Zealand. The specific name, rex, is the Latin for "king", referring to the only known location of the genus, Three Kings Islands.

A single specimen of the species was collected from Meryta sinclairii (also known as the puka), a tree endemic to the Three Kings Islands.

Allen Tate (musician)

Allen Tate (born June 9, 1989, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American vocalist and songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York. He is the lead singer of San Fermin, the indie-rock band led by composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone. Tate's debut solo project, Sleepwalker, co-produced by Ludwig-Leone, was released on October 28, 2016. His sophomore record In the Waves was released on May 3, 2019.

Biography

Early life
Tate attended school at the Germantown Academy, a non-sectarian college prep school located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. Tate attended New York University where he studied philosophy, and planned to pursue a law career.

San Fermin
At age 15, Tate attended the Berklee College of Music summer program during high school, where he would meet collaborator Ellis Ludwig-Leone.

Tate and Ludwig-Leone came together to create San Fermin's self-titled debut album, with Tate serving as the lead vocalist. San Fermin arrived on September 17, 2013, with many reviews complimenting Tate's baritone-voice. Tate has since contributed to the band's follow-up projects including Jackrabbit (2014), Belong (2017), Live at the Fillmore (2019) and The Cormorant Part 1 (2019).

Solo career

In the fall of 2014, during a 3-week stay in Copenhagen, Tate began working on his first solo project. With Sleepwalker, the aforementioned project, Tate attempted to convey feelings of loneliness and anxiety, describing his goal as a "menacing bath: warm and enveloping, but with an element of anxiety."

For the recording of the project, Tate recruited Ludwig-Leone and other San Fermin bandmates Michael Hanf (drums) and Tyler McDiarmid (guitar) in order to work during breaks in the San Fermin tour schedule. The album was then mixed by Matty Green (TV on the Radio, Yeasayer, Wild Belle) and released on October 28, 2016. Bob Boilen of NPR Music called Tate's voice, "deep and dreamy" and commended the musical textures that Tate created on the album.

Tate released his second album In the Waves on May 3, 2019 with independent label Sleep Well Records. He released the single "When Did I Get Like This" in September 2018 to promote the new record.

Tate has also shared the stage with the Arctic Monkeys, The National, St. Vincent, The Head and the Heart, and alt-j.
