Detailing new Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady facility
SCHENECTADY — The Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady is planning a new $10.9 million youth facility in Quakenbush Park to serve the Mont Pleasant and Hamilton Hill neighborhoods.
The two-story, 38,587-square-foot building has been in the works for years, club officials said Thursday during an announcement about the new facility. The plans predate the sale of the organization's former building on Craig Street to Community Builders, which needed the space for a larger community redevelopment project. Since that sale, Boys & Girls Clubs have offered their services through satellite programs in the city's schools.
The new center would be a state-of-the-art youth services building.
"The former facility serving young people in the Hamilton Hill neighborhood was woefully inadequate," said Mark Little, who is heading the fundraising effort. "The Boys & Girls Club staff did an excellent job of making the most of what was available there, but it is now time for us to invest in the youth of our city and provide appropriate space and facilities to serve them with the level of programming they deserve."
The new center was designed by Synthesis Architects of Schenectady specially to meet the needs of all youths — including at-risk children and teens — that the clubs serve, he said.
At an event at the Rotterdam Boys & Girls Club, club officials announced they've already raised $7.6 million from a variety of corporations, foundations and individuals and are now pushing to raise the final $4 million needed to begin work.
"Our greatest hope is that we can put shovels in the ground on Labor Day 2018 and have a ribbon-cutting on Labor Day 2019," clubs Executive Director Shane Bargy said. "That's if everything goes perfectly."
Fundraising is headed up by Little and his wife, Terri. Little is the retired head of GE Global Research in Niskayuna.
"Our investment in this project is an investment in the future of these children and young people — and in our community," Little said.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady, founded in 1936, is the largest youth services organization in Schenectady County, operating 18 sites, including youth centers, parks and swimming pools and Camp Lovejoy, which provides a summer camp for children and teens from the city's poorest neighborhoods. The organization serves about 13,000 youths annually.
The new center would include a 4,000-square-foot teen center, a commercial learning kitchen, large game rooms, technology centers, program rooms and a gym with bleachers. There will also be office space and a theater that is being designed in partnership with Proctors.
"Especially for youths who aren't athletic, the arts are an outlet," Bargy said.
The facility would be able to serve about 300 youths per day — about triple the number the old Hamilton Hill facility could handle.
City Councilwoman Marion Porterfield praised the plans.
"This is what the community needs," she said. "This is what the kids need. It is much better than the facility we had, and this one recognizes the needs of the kids."
The location will be in Quakenbush Park, on the border between the Hamilton Hill and Mont Pleasant neighborhoods, and close to two of the city's schools.
The state Legislature earlier this year approved a bill allowing the city to sell a building lot in the park to the Boys & Girls Clubs.
State Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, D-Rotterdam, said the measure came up near the end of the spring legislative session and required negotiations to get it through both chambers of the Legislature and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
To date, all fundraising has been done privately. But if state money is needed to meet the final goal, Santabarbara said he has told club leaders he would support including some funding in the state budget.
The Boys & Girls Clubs promote social, educational, health, leadership and character development among young people.
Organizations or individuals interested in donating to the campaign are asked to contact Tish Czachor at 518-374-4714 or [email protected].

If you transport goods using HGVs as part of your business, there's a very good chance you, and your drivers, will require an HGV operator licence. Without one, you're breaking UK and EU law, and risk having your licence suspended, restricted or revoked, all of which could seriously damage your business.
When do you need a licence?
You'll need an HGV operator licence if you operate:
1. A van, lorry or truck that's over 3.5 tonnes in weight and used to transport items related to your company's business. You'll need the licence regardless of how often the vehicle is used. You don't need a licence if your primary business is carrying passengers.
2. A van, lorry or truck that's over 1,525 kg in weight when not holding goods or passengers. Trailers used to transport goods are included in the to
Image Credit
What type of licence do you need?
There are three versions of the operator licence, and you'll need to apply for the right one for your business. They include:
1. A standard national licence that permits you to transport goods that belong to your company and other companies across the UK. You can also transport your own goods internationally or those belonging to others between UK ports.
2. A standard international licence that permits you to transport goods belonging to your company and those of other companies across the UK and internationally. Under a standard international licence, you can apply for a community licence that permits you to transport goods between and work in all EU countries, although this may change with Brexit.
3. A restricted licence that permits you to transport only goods owned by your company.
Regardless of the licence you hold, you will need HGV insurance, such as that provided by https://www.quotemetoday.co.uk/hgv-insurance, and you'll need to renew your licence every five years.
There are some exemptions to the rules around HGV operator licences, which mean you won't need one if your truck, van or lorry was first used prior to 1977, has a gross plated weight of no more than 3,500 kg, is being used to move between private properties for no more than six miles a week, or has trade plates.

For the first year and a bit of Rex's life, he slept in a camp cot in our room. We live in a three bedroomed flat so when we decided that it was time to move him into his own space he landed up in the guest bedroom and because he was now old enough to try and escape his camp cot every time we put him in it, my anxiety levels were reaching all new levels of high, which meant it was time to get him a big boy bed.
DIY Christmas giftsDecember 19, 2018
This time of the year is always awesome! There is just a certain something in the air that makes you feel instantly at ease with the world. I love December, I love all the Christmas hype and anticipation leading up to the day. I'm also one of those people that kind of goes overboard on the present front. I feel that there are only a few occasions during the year that you can 100% do that and for me, it's Christmas and birthdays.
Mountain Sanctuary ParkNovember 30, 2018
I am 100% one of those people that say, 'Camping? Nope, not for me!' In fact, it took Shane about 9 years to convince me to go camping, which we did for the first time as a family a few months ago at Mountain Sanctuary Park. I can't believe how adamant I was about hating it and how painfully wrong I turned out to be.
We spent two nights at Mountain Sanctuary and it was absolutely, yes I'm going to use this word, awesome! I loved every second of it, even the part where there we had to sit in the car for half an hour until a massive thunderstorm moved away, we then slept in our tent surrounded by howling winds and the sound of pouring rain. It was so cool being all snug inside right next to two of my favourite people.
Birthday party funAugust 17, 2018
My beautiful Nina James turned four years old two Sundays ago. This amazing little girl of ours has grown and developed so much over the last few years and I can't believe just how much she changes all the time. It's like I fall more and more in love every day with both my kids, which is probably one of the best things about being a parent.
This year for her birthday we arranged to have a party in our garden. A party that came complete with loads of cake, balloons, sweets, jumping castles and more. We decided to do everything ourselves and seeing as I'm working with Gumtree throughout the year to bring you guys some tips on how to get financially savvy when it comes to parenting, I thought I'd share some of my party tricks with you guys in case you're looking for things like foolproof recipes for yummy homemade cakes that you can jazz up or down, depending on how creative you're feeling. I'm also going to share a couple of tips on where you can find affordable decor and party goodies.
Clothing swap and good timesMay 16, 2018
Quick question, have any of you ever bought something for yourself or your kids and only worn it once or not at all?! I'm 100% guilty of doing this all the time and with my kids, it's the age-old problem of them growing out of things really quickly. I'm always thinking to myself – Oh no this is way too nice to wear to Kindergarten, but then before I know it it's two sizes too small and been worn once to a second cousin's birthday party! When it comes to my stuff I'm also often guilty of buying something that I will convince myself in the shop that I'm going to wear, but then three months later it's still hanging in my cupboard wishing it could see the light of day one last time. I think half my wardrobe may be made up of pieces like this. Sigh.

Hard Words; Good Words
There are some words which are hard to hear.
For example, when the doctor comes to give us the truth about our condition, and the prognosis is not good, those are hard words to hear.
Or when we've acted irresponsibly, or disobediently, and someone in authority informs us of the consequences of our behaviour, those are hard words to hear.
Or when tragedy strikes unexpectedly, and the news comes to our ears that someone we love has been injured or killed, those are hard words to hear.
Throughout history, God has sent people to speak messages of truth, calling his people to faith and repentance. Sometimes these words also are hard to hear.
When the prophets of old spoke to God's people Israel, they often used words that were not easy to listen to. Nevertheless, they were spoken in love, in an effort to alert a wayward nation and rescue the people God loved dearly. Jesus himself spoke hard words, and called all people to repentance, before demonstrating his own extravagant provision of forgiveness by going to the cross and his death as a sacrifice for all.
During this season of lenten repentance, I invite you to lean into the hard words of truth that God is speaking to your heart, through his living word. As you read, as you come to worship and listen to the words of Moses, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah, and as you fix your eyes upon Jesus, the Word made flesh who rescues us from our sins, may your faith be strengthened!
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God."
Colossians 3:16
With love,
Pastor Curtis

#ShareWhatsGood , #DiscoverWhatsReal
My husband Bryce and I have always been fans of all natural and organic. Maybe because our family is also into making organic family essentials like soaps, massage oils, travel oils and many others for our very own @theoandbshop. Everytime we go to our home in Pampanga, we get so immersed on how these products are created with love and ensured to not have even a single drop of unnatural, inorganic ingredients.
Speaking of fruits, if there is one staple fruit that should always be inside our ref, that should be GRAPES! Zia and Zela love to eat grapes! They can finish at least a kilo of grapes while watching a movie.
|Throwback photo: Grapes has also been part of every handaan in our family since Zia was born.
So when I discovered Welch's, I really got excited about it. An advocate of better nutritional choice for Filipino families, Welch's provides a wide range of healthy juice products that are refreshing to the palate and good for the body in the long term.
People today have a wider range of food choices available. In reality, many families are still unable to meet their daily nutrient requirements which help prevent chronic diseases.
Omni Amisola-Larrosa is the wife of Bryce, an outstanding speaker & people builder, a mother of 3 wonderful kids named Zia, Zela & Zed (#TheClingySibz), and a professional Marketing practitioner who is privileged to be a recipient of the 12th Mansmith Young Market Masters Award (Mansmith YMMA) for 2017, an advocacy project that seeks and recognizes young outstanding marketers and entrepreneurs all over the Philippines.

I drove out to the east end of the city for a meeting this afternoon and on the way back I drove the scenic Eastern Parkway along the Ottawa River. Just passed the turn off to the Governor General's residence, there is a lookout that allows you a nice view of the Gatineau River's mouth as it drains into the Ottawa River. I paused there to shoot images with the F80EXR and the D700, this article covering only the F80EXR.
The F series has again come under serious scrutiny at DPReview.com as Fuji has announced the F300EXR recently. This tends to bring every Tom, Dick and Nooby out of the woodwork to share their uneducated opinions on how "horrible" EXR cameras are in general and how "horrible" the F300EXR is in specific. Well … I don't give a sh*t … I like how they shoot so I shoot them.
But I digress :-)
I ended up with only one shot that I found interesting at this location …
If you click through to the 800px version, you can see how detailed that is. The people on that far boat at dock are quite clear. The trees have lots of detail, and you can even see detail in the layers of hills.
I shot lots more with the D700, but those will wait for the next article.
A note: These are all shot in bright sunlight. This is awful light for shooting flowers as it sucks the saturation away … I added a lot back, hence the name of the post. I really don't recommend shooting flowers in this light … but I felt like it, so there.
The next stop, which is quite a few miles from here, was the ornamental gardens. This being August 1, the gardens are showing right now several impressive stands of spider flowers. There are many daisies too, although I only got bugs on them with the F80EXR.
Note the wasp on the left side of that one. The next couple are shot in the same location from different distances to give you an idea of what perspective does to backgrounds.
Again, the next pair is shot from slightly different perspectives on the same plant …
The last of the spider flowers …
A shot of the beetles …
These two beetle shots are heavy crops … belying the rathe rnegative view people have of the pixel image quality of these cams.
The left hand beetle in that last one reminds me of watching a pug trying to pee on the top of a fire hydrant … ambitious little guys :-)

Depending on your sexual orientation, you may be granted different privileges or encounter different challenges abroad than you do at home.
Since many of the ideas we have about sexual orientation and sexuality are culturally based, you should be aware of how this will affect your relationships abroad, your cultural adjustment and reentry, and your overall study abroad experience.
Things to Consider Before Going Abroad
Adapted from Northwestern University's "Identity Abroad: LGBTQIA"
- Does your right to be LGBTQ+ in the U.S. conflict with the religious or cultural values and traditions of your host country?
- How will you reconcile your human rights with the cultural values of your host society?
- Are there safety considerations that you should be aware of?
- What are gender relations typically like in your host country?
- What is considered to be typical male and female social behavior in your host culture?
- What is the social perception of members of the LGBTQ+ community in your host country?
- What roles do transgender people play in your host culture?
Things to Consider While Abroad
Adapted from Diversity Abroad's "Diversity & Inclusion Abroad Guide: LGBTQ+ Students Abroad"
- How will I keep myself safe while I'm abroad? Should I come out to my host family or my roommates?
- What are the cultural norms for dating and friendship in my host country?
- What kinds of LGBTQ+ resources are there in my host country? What kinds of communities or support networks exist?
- What is the LGBTQ+ population like in my host country? How large and visible is it? How do they represent themselves?
- What are the terms and definitions used in my host country to talk about LGBTQ+ issues?

Why You may need Trustworthy Plumbing Services
Regular maintenance is expected to retain your pipes and fixtures in excellent condition for the smooth and effective distribution of water and/or gas within your home or office and for the suitable disposal of sewage. That is why it's essential to employ a plumbing company to help you. Remember one thing, you need to never ever ignore or postpone any plumbing repairs or upkeep because it may possibly lead to bigger challenges in the future. When the plumbing problems will not be attended in the correct time, it may bring about the big dilemma. The majority of people look for the services of an expert plumber after they have an emergency. Nevertheless, you also demand plumbing services for ongoing maintenance on a regular basis to maintain you away from bigger repairs; hence, it can be prudent to search for a trustworthy plumbing service provider to help you. The water systems are one of the indispensable elements that we use consistently on a daily basis even devoid of realising it. Equivalent to other systems, the water supply system may also start to trigger difficulties and can need preservation services. Get a lot more information about Reformas integrales en elche
The significance and advantages of hiring plumbing services
The majority of us attempt to repair plumbing difficulties on our personal, but we typically fail to determine other major problems that might have triggered the problem. This can be specifically where you'll need the help of a plumbing service who has trained personnel to clean badly clogged toilets, fix leaking pipes which might be concealed inside the basement and repair busted pipes that may possibly ruin your furniture.
To operate on plumbing jobs, one demands sensible skills and sound knowledge that only experienced plumbers will have. Experts may have all the newest tools to repair and solve major plumbing problems with minimal of time and understand how to utilize them effectively. The services rendered by the qualified plumbers are lasting solutions and they aren't just one-time fixes. The significant aspect is the fact that after you contact a plumbing service, they'll help in spotting and fixing the problems in the root-source.
Skilled companies give a selection of plumbing services that contain attending to burst pipes and water leaks; repairing taps; repairing toilets; hot water heater installation, service, upkeep and repairs; detecting leaks; clearing blocked drains; gas fitting and quite a few more. These companies also render emergency plumbing services at short notices. In case, you ever encounter a plumbing emergency at odd hours, support is just a get in touch with away. These specialist companies won't only fix the problem but additionally will give a detailed report of what may have triggered the issue and highlight the hidden components, which the majority of us will not even observe.

How to Use Liquid Chalk Markers
Posted by Anuj Agarwal on
Like any other new tool, you will need to learn how to use Chalkola liquid chalk markers. They are a bit different from ordinary chalk but once you get started you'll have a lot of fun with them. Here is how to prepare your chalk ink markers for the best results:
- Make sure that the marker tip (nib) fits tightly in the barrel of the marker.
- You don't want the cap coming off unexpectedly so make certain that it is on tightly. It's hard to wash liquid chalk out of clothing so you don't want the caps to come off unexpectedly.
- You will need to shake each ink marker for about half a minute before using it. Just like paint, liquid chalk needs to be well mixed after it settles for awhile. Shaking it will insure that it's well mixed and give your work the vivid colors you want.
- Have a piece of paper handy so that you can use it to draw the liquid chalk down through the marker into the nib. The nib needs to be saturated with liquid chalk to start the flow you need to work with. Depress the nib onto the paper until the nib is full of liquid. This may take as long as 30 seconds.
- Repeat these steps with each marker before you use it. This will insure that you get brilliant, well mixed colors.

Towie's Kate Wright has banned any mention of love interest Rio Ferdinand in the new series
The reality star told bosses she has no intention of using their relationship to increase her camera time
TOWIE beauty Kate Wright has slapped a ban on any mentions of love interest Rio Ferdinand in the new series.
The reality star, 25, told bosses she has no intention of using the relationship to increase camera time, fearing extra exposure will put the relationship at threat.
The Sun revealed last month Kate and Rio were in the early stages of dating and the couple have deliberately kept their romance away from the spotlight ever since.
However, the "Rio ban" hasn't stopped her co-stars trying to rib her about the relationship while the cameras are rolling.

'I DO LOVE HIM'Megan McKenna brushes off news Pete Wicks' ex is set to join Towie as the pair look happier than ever
A source said: "Kate has said right from the start she doesn't want anyone namechecking Rio in the show.
"As far as she's confirmed her new relationship has nothing to do with Towie and she intends to keep it that way.
"But the romance is the talk of the set and some of the cheekier cast-members have already tried to wind her up by asking if she supports Manchester United and if she likes wearing red."
Neither Kate or Rio have commented about the relationship since The Sun's story.
When asked if she was dating the former Manchester United ace at the National TV Awards by Bizarre Editor Dan Wootton, on the same day our story broke, Kate replied: "I can't speak about that right now."
Fitness fan Kate, who used to date fellow Towie star Dan Edgar, filmed scenes for the upcoming series of the ITVBe hit this week in Essex.
She was one of the castmembers who stayed behind while others flew to Tenerife for the special two-part series opener.
The Sun's Bizarre Column revealed female castmembers Chloe Sims and Georgia Kousoulou, plus Liam Gatsby and Tommy Mallet, were attacked by thugs outside a McDonald's after filming in a nightclub.
The reality stars were left badly shaken and returned to Essex with minor bruising.
Unlike Rio, the brawl is likely to be referred when the series starts later this month.
A Towie spokeswoman said: "It's too early to confirm what's been said in the new series at this stage."

Today's column explores the wisdom of relying on 'knowledgeable' friends for Social Security advice, whether a restricted application is possible for a couple, filing for spousal benefits while retirement benefits are suspended and how married couples can sequence available benefits. Larry Kotlikoff is the founder and president of Economic Security Planning, a company that markets Maximize My Social Security, a Social Security benefits calculator referred to in this post.
See more Ask Larry answers here.
Ask Larry about Social Security:
Do I Need To File Early So My Wife Can Get Social Security Spousal Benefits?
Hi Larry, I'm 61 and my wife is 65. Since I'm working and she's not, and I plan on filing at 67, can she at her FRA of 66 draw half of my benefits without me filing for my retirement benefit? I've been told by a very good friends that if her FRA benefit is less than what half of mine is, she can draw half of my FRA benefit without me having to file early. I've known my friends for decades and he's very knowledgeable about pretty much everything so I figure he must be right about this too but I just want to confirm this with you, too. Thanks, Glenn
Hi Glenn, I hope your friend has more accurate information about the other subjects he holds forth on than he does about Social Security because his claims about Social Security are very, very wrong.
It's very plain: your wife couldn't draw spousal benefits until you start drawing your retirement benefits. If your spouse's own retirement benefit rate would be significantly less than 50% of your Primary Insurance Amount (PIA), which is equal to your full retirement age (FRA) retirement benefit amount, then it might be best for her to file for her own retirement benefits at her full retirement age of 66. Then, if 50% of your PIA is higher than her PIA, she could file for additional spousal benefits when you file for your benefits. Both you and your spouse have many possible filing strategies available to you, so you might try using an expert Social Security benefits calculator as described in other answers to determine your best strategy. Best, Larry
Am I Understanding Correctly?
Hi Larry, I would like to know if I am understanding this correctly. I am 63. Is it true that I have to wait until my full retirement age of 66 and 2 months to receive spousal benefits before then collecting my own retirement benefit at 70? My husband is already collecting his full retirement benefits. Thanks, Sharon
Hi Sharon, Unfortunately, that strategy won't work for you. Congress changed the law in 2015 to require people born after 1/1/1954 to also file for their own retirement benefits whenever they file for spousal benefits, even if they file for spousal benefits at full retirement age (FRA) or later. If you had been born prior to 1/2/1954, you could have used the strategy outlined in your question. You may want to try an expert Social Security benefits calculator, such as my company's software or other very precise and accurate software, to explore and compare all of your filing options in order to identify which strategy would be best in your case. Best, Larry
Can I File For Spousal Benefits While My Own Benefits Are Suspended?
Hi Larry, I filed and suspended my Social Security retirement benefit in January of 2016 at 66. My wife may file for Social Security soon — can I file for spousal benefits on her record when she files for her retirement benefit? Thanks, David
Hi David, You can file, but you'll only be eligible for spousal benefits if 50% of your wife's Primary Insurance Amount (PIA), which is equal to her full retirement age (FRA) retirement benefit amount, is higher than your PIA. Since you've already filed for your own retirement benefits, even if they are suspended, that continues to be your primary benefit for life. If you subsequently file for spousal benefits the most you could receive as a spouse is the difference between your own benefit rate and the spousal rate, assuming that the spousal rate is higher. If the spousal rate isn't higher than your own rate, you wouldn't be eligible for any spousal benefits even if your own benefits are in suspense.
Depending on your and your wife's relative benefit rates, a potentially more advantageous alternative strategy could be for your wife to file for spousal benefits only on your record at her full retirement age and then file for her own benefits at age 70. Best, Larry
Can I Claim A Spousal Benefit And Defer My Own Retirement Benefit Until Age 70?
Hi Larry, My wife is 64 and currently receives a Social Security Disability benefit. When she turns 66 later this year, her benefits will convert to retirement benefits. At that time, I will also be at FRA but will have yet to claim my own retirement benefit. At the time her disability benefit converts to a retirement benefit, can I claim a spousal benefit to receive and continue delaying my own retirement benefit until 70? Thanks, Stan
Hi Stan, Yes, since you were born prior to 1/2/1954, you could file for just spousal benefits only as early as the month you reach full retirement age (FRA) even if that's prior to the month your wife's disability benefits (SSDI) convert to retirement benefits. Your wife just needs to be drawing either retirement benefits or SSDI in order for you to potentially qualify for spousal benefits. You could then allow your own benefit rate to grow until age 70. Although the strategy outlined above may be your best strategy, you can use an expert Social Security benefits calculator, such as Maximize My Social Security or another very comprehensive and accurate program, to make sure you aren't overlooking something. Best, Larry
Is This Plan Correct?
HI Larry, My wife, who's 62, has been getting Social Security disability since she was 51 after suffering a stroke. Her benefits are more than mine. I turned 66 last December and I filed for spousal benefits then. At her FRA, when SSDI automatically converts into a retirement benefit, she'll voluntarily suspend benefits until she's 70. When I'm 70, I'll apply for my retirement benefits on my own record and when she's 70, she'll apply for retirement benefits on her own records. Is our plan correct? Thanks, Barney
Hi Barney, Everything that you mentioned are possible options, except that your wife wouldn't need to apply for retirement benefits at age 70. If her benefits are in voluntary suspense at that time, Social Security should automatically reinstate her benefits effective with the month she turns age 70. Best, Larry

Cannabis is an age-old plant; grown around the world for thousands of years and for a whole host of reasons. Yet in the modern imagination, Cannabis has become synonymous with 'controlled substance' and 'recreational use'. In this week's post, we're taking a look at how the meaning of Cannabis has changed over time, and how scientific advances can be used to work towards a new definition.
If we look back millennia on the Cannabis timeline, we arrive on the Oki Islands (found near Japan). As recorded by archaeologists, remnants of the Cannabis plant's fruit were found deep in the soil (from around 8000BC), potentially signifying its growth and cultivation. Such a trajectory continues with evidence from China, dated back to 6000BC, where Cannabis seeds were used as food and later, as a means of medicine and pottery decoration. Further diversifying the use of the Cannabis plant, the Chinese later weaved it into rope, fibre and clothes.
Over the next thousand years, the Cannabis seed slowly spread to northern Europe; Ancient uses were recorded by the fabled Greek historian, Herodotus, who told of recreational and ritual consumption by the Scythians. Such traditions slowly made their way to the Middle East during the Middle Ages, where Cannabis became used for its resin in the form of Hashish.
Interestingly, the modern West didn't start growing and using Cannabis until the 17th and 18th centuries. However when it did, it was a large-scale operation. In 1794, George Washington declared that hemp (a strain of Cannabis), should be grown as a key agricultural crop at any given opportunity in the US. A hundred years later, Queen Victoria was prescribed Cannabis for period pain by her private doctor, on the back of pioneering research conducted by Irish physician William O'Shaughnessy.
From food and medicine, through rope and textiles, to recreational consumption, Cannabis has had a multitude of uses. While the moments listed here only give a snapshot of Cannabis' rich history, when taken together, they give insight into the versatility of the plant.
It was only in the 20th century – more specifically the 1920s – that the crackdown on Cannabis on began. 1925 saw Cannabis scheduled by the Geneva International Convention on Narcotics Control – a document signed by the British – while the Chinese moved to ban all Cannabis cultivation 10 years later. The beginnings of such stigma were compounded by a mass decline in Cannabis trade during World War II. The US War on Drugs then further condemned Cannabis in the late 20th century.
Further scientific research, from the discovery of THC through the Endocannabinoid System to CBD, has done much to debunk understandings of Cannabis as simply recreational. We now understand the 'highs' of Cannabis to be a phenomena produced by THC, and that other cannabinoids – such as CBD – can do much to support our well-being as a dietary supplement.
This is not always common knowledge, however, and it is our mission at DragonflyCBD to drive towards a re-definition of Cannabis. We want to make clear that Cannabis is not simply one, universal plant, and that some strains – such as the Cannabis Sativa L. we grow – can provide for an all-natural route to wellness.

The author is well known but this is a different book because it is based upon the diaries of Millicent King who began her own journal on the eve of World War One and carried them on until near the end of her life in 1995. A relative, Joanne King, had contacted Forster in 1999 because of her husband's aunt Millicent King who had kept a diary from age 13 to a recent 94th year when ill health prevented her continuing. Joanne had been able to read the vast quantity of Millicent's journals and because they contained so much interesting views and observations felt they would be interesting. They also included some momentous reflections that what she experienced personally was now a story about history throughout the twentieth century. It is an amazing read.
Forster has edited the diaries and makes comments as sections come to an end. Therefore, she puts her slant on the parts we do not read and makes her own observations about Millicent too. They were perhaps sometimes a distraction and really didn't add to the book as a whole but maybe explain the gaps in the timeline.
Sometimes I cried at the immense trauma and death that Millicent faced, particularly with losses in her family. It shows starkly what that generation had to endure and she as a single woman became heavily involved in WWII.
Her personal reflections bring the huge pieces of Britain's history right into focus as we move from Millicent's rather bohemian London abroad to Rome and how she was quite brave to often change the direction of her life at quick notice. However, she does appear a sad woman. Diaries can be maudlin and writers often prefer the darker depths of their minds and lives to the boring bright chirpiness of normality. Millicent had mixed views it seemed about all her family and other relations but she often found great comfort from those who surprised her when she was in need.
Financially independent Millicent didn't have to work as such, although she wanted to try and carve out a career for herself. She seems never to have achieved what she felt was her potential but looking back I think she can be very proud of her input across the years and the generations with which she came into contact with. I often cried at some terrible events and her many years of sadness but also smiled at her turn of phrase and ability to try and make something of her situation. From the fall out of the Great War, her maturing into a young woman, the blitz and the role of women, through the Open University, to Greenham Common and the lost loves in distant lands this is a sweeping read, but highly personal and often intense. You forget this is a real person sometimes as so much happens. If only Millicent realised what an extraordinary woman she really was.
A fantastic personal read. I don't know why it took me so long to find it. Obviously Forster's own work is different (but I might check her out) but for now I feel this diary should be read by far more people. As it is in chronological order book clubs could perhaps review different decades or approach as a whole. Either way I think it will be greatly enjoyed and provide hours of discussion across all ages. Even school children could gain from its pages and reflect on their lives today compared to what Millicent experienced.

Rapper T.I. Responds To Tiny Filing For Divorce Blaming Jealous Friends
|Rapper T.I. Responds To Tiny Filing For Divorce Blaming Jealous Friends
|T.i. And Tiny
T.I. has officially made a move to halt divorce proceedings. He feels that his wife overreacted when she filed for divorce and may have been swayed by "jealous friends."
|T.i. And Tiny
T.I. even appeared in a short video Tiny uploaded to her Instagram page after the Christmas holiday.
Tiny's divorce filing, which was made on December 7, comes just months after the couple welcomed their third child together, Heiress Harris.
Considering that recently the two were spotted together at least twice after the divorce filing and are still on speaking terms, there's still much hope alive for Tip and the nearly 20 year marriage.

I have to say that my reaction to slapstick is often similar to that of Muriel Andrin. When Chaplin slipped on the banana peel, rather than laughing, I jumped with concern. Yes, Chaplin does make me laugh but I have always been unnerved by people falling over.

Professor Edwards With regard to Hitchcock being a special case, you state that "He wasn't a part of the German emigres like Lang or Siodmak". In fact: In 1924 Alfred Hitchcock went with fellow British film director, Graham Cutts, to Germany to film "The Blackguard." While in Germany, Hitchcock observed some of the making of Murnau's "The Last Laugh" and was so impressed with the directing that he adopted some of Murnau's filming techniques. Hitchcock was given the opportunity to assist in directing "The Pleasure Garden" at the UFA studios (Universum Film AG) I think this identifies Hitchcock as a Noir formalist. Philosophically, I believe his movies were informed by his Catholic upbringing rather than existential angst. Some of his main characters feel guilty for past actions (Scotty in Vertigo, Alicia in Notorious) which affects the choices they make. They quite often suffer from arrested development (Dr McKenna in The Man who Knew Too Much, jealously possessive of his wife), Uncle Charley in Shadow of A Doubt, (his hatred of wealthy middle-aged widows), Bruno in Strangers on a Train, (classic Oedipal complex). I believe these themes may be indicative of Hitchcock's personal demons rather than a critique of the social climate in which he was living. And that is what makes Hitchcock a 'special case' and not fully part of the noir school.
Writers?! We don' need no stinkin' writers!!!
I have very little to add to the observations of the others in this thread except to say that I think Hitchcock brings a Catholic sensibility to his movies. Noir is described as being rooted in existential angst. God is dead and life is meaningless. Hitchcock was raised in the Catholic faith. Many of his films, noir and others, include Catholic iconography. I think Hitch wanted to reveal the 'sinfulness' and human vulnerability in all his characters and also compel the audience to face the guilt within themselves.
What About a Fedora
piperhaven replied to pestocat's topic in Summer of Darkness: Investigating Film NoirBilly Wilder was never seen without his fedora. It was his inspiration. Kept his brain warm
Thank you Brian Blake. I found the first video very informative. I am not a technical person but it is always interesting to learn how effects are achieved in film. How often have we been impressed by an actor's performance when it is actually being enhanced by the lighting of the scene.
Thoughts on Detour (1945)
piperhaven replied to Thief12's topic in Summer of Darkness: Investigating Film NoirLow budget noir is the purest form of noir. I believe Ulmer and Alton were thrilled to have little-known bad actors in the film. Their main aim was to focus on its formalist style. When you have the big hitters like Bogart, Mitchum, Edward G, et al in your movie, they take the attention away from the form. The quality of their performance gives an air of reality to the story which noirist directors/cinematographers don't want. The ludicrousness of the story ensures we appreciate the fantastic element.
Definition of films noirs
piperhaven posted a topic in Summer of Darkness: Investigating Film NoirMuch debate has gone into deciding what is noir and what isn't. I found this in a Wikipedia article about Nino Frank. "In 1946, Frank and fellow critic Jean-Pierre Chartier wrote two film articles that described Hollywood crime dramas from the 1940s as "film noir." Frank's article, "Un nouveau genre 'policier:' L'aventure criminelle," ("A new police genre: the criminal adventure") was published in the socialist-leaning film magazine L'écran français in August 1946. Frank's article listed "…rejection of sentimental humanism, the social fantastic, and the dynamism of violent death" as being obsessive French noir themes and called attention to the American proclivity for criminal psychology and misogyny." [3] Frank's article stated that "these "dark" films, these films noirs, no longer have anything in common with the ordinary run of detective movies", and the article "reflects the difficulty of finding a suitable label for these dark films."[4] Frank's article states that the noir films "belong to what used to be called the detective film genre, but which would now be better termed the crime, or, even better yet, the "crime psychology film." Jean-Pierre Chartier's essay, from November 1946, appeared in the conservative-leaning Revue du cinema, titled "Les Américains aussi font des films 'noirs'" ("the Americans also make 'black' films"), and criticized what he deemed the common thread of film noir, the "pessimism and disgust for humanity."[3] " So to qualify for the term, a film must be: About crime Nihilistic Mysogynist Extremely violent Have elements of fantasy Notice there is no mention of chiaroscuro lighting. This comes from German Expressionist films. So check each movie you watch for the five elements listed and 'you got noir'.
I would like to make a few points on this comment. The British had been at war since 1939 but the British Film Industry was positively encouraged to make war propaganda movies. They were considered to be an important part of sustaining morale. Strangely, many of these movies turned out to be classics, in particular, the movies of Powell and Pressburger (One of our Aircraft is Missing, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, A Canterbury Tale). There are others like Went The Day Well, The Way to the Stars and Henry V. These were not noir movies, of course but they were excellent ones. With regard to not being censored, before the war, the American film industry was strictly censored by the Hays Code. After the war, a more serious censorship came into being with the formation of House of Un-American Activities. This organization ruined the careers and lives of several actors, directors and writers. It is against this kind of background that many great noir movies were made. I would suggest the general mood of repression (or angst, another word pilfered from the German) produced the most highly regarded noir movies.
Difference in entrances: Lorre is coming out of the elevator talking to himself. He seems quite amused at the rather dubious person he has just met. The set is well lit and the atmosphere light. Then he opens the door to find his apartment in chaos. The camera pans across the debris and Greenstreet steps out of the dark carrying a gun. Lorre is startled at first then the conversation becomes almost playful. "Am I mad" says Lorre. Despite the underlying threat of the gun and Greenstreet's tone, he does not appear to be unduly worried. Camera angles: When Greenstreet is seated, we get a low angle shot of him. Given Greenstreet's considerable size, this gives him the presence of a giant. Lorre is seated lower then him and we get a camera angle which places Greenstreet in the forefront of the screen, even more dominating. But Lorre seems so relaxed. He slides even lower, into a relaxed positions and his tone is quite conversational. Comparison: We have no sense of the tension that this kind of screen composition creates in The Big Sleep between Colonel Sternwood and Philip Marlowe. Sternwood is seated higher than Marlowe. Marlowe is made ill at ease by excessive heat. Marlowe is a hot-blooded man, Sternwood, cold-blooded. There is little communality between them. So what is happening in The Mask of Demetrios. I believe that Negulesco has been made aware that Greenstreet and Lorre share the same kind of movie magic as their illustrious predecessors, Stan and Olly. By the end of the clip, Greenstreet has laid aside the gun and realized he has a partner here not an adversary. Together, they can conquer the world!
The clip begins in sunshine, then moves into a cafe out of the sun. Jane Greer moves from the sunlit exterior and briefly into shadow before becoming visible again. I think it is this dark moment that signals her femme fatality. She is literally and figuratively coming 'out of the past' not fully known to Robert Mitchum. This movie is considered by most scholars to be one of the quintessentially noir movies. The contrast I believe is the rural life that Mitchum is living when the movie starts and his morally dark past. Nature good, cities bad.
I think noir films do send messages but not necessarily the ostensible .'message' of the movie i.e. . if you allow an obviously bad woman to get under your skin and make you do bad things, you will be punished. I believe that noir movies are about hidden fears and desires that we are afraid to admit even to ourselves. In truth, they encourage immorality in us. We want Edward G to get away with murder in Scarlet Street because he is innocent. We think Dan Duryea should have been murdered because of the way he treats Joan Bennet. Blind justice has no place in noir land. It appeals to the vestigial animal in us all, the desire for complete freedom and revenge. I agree with you about Crossfire. This is a film about prejudice and says so very compellingly. Using shadows and light alone does not make a noir movie.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to watch Edward G displaying his considerable powers. As you say, the German Expressionist key lighting, bare set and anti-realism is very evident in this sequence and it was released in 1931. I think this proves that what the French meant by noir was not just style but many other factors. So I have come to the conclusion that noir is Genre/Style/Movement and any movie has to satisfy all these elements to be called a film noir.

Hello again from Las Vegas! I must admit, the food here is fabulous! And I've been eating LOTS of it! The name of this blog is Hungry Healthy Hilary, but I'll admit, the HUNGRY is in the driver's seat right now. I have made some healthier choices, but many that are not-so-healthy. Like I said before, the 20 percent of the 80/20 rule isn't big enough for me this week! It's more like 20/80! But anyway, enough with the self-depreciation, I really am having a wonderful time (and trying to get in as much activity as possible)!
Do you watch Food Network? This probably doesn't come as a surprise to you, but I am a FN junkie! There are so many shows/celebs I love to watch, one of which is The Best Thing I Ever Ate. For those of you not familiar with the show, basically, each half hour episode has a theme (like food on a stick, brunch, chocolate, etc), and Food Network stars and celebrity chefs tell their favourite food on that theme, why it's so amazing, and the camera goes behind the scenes at the particular restaurant. Sometimes, I don't know why I put myself through all that torture of watching delicious food parade across the screen….I think of it as food pornography….and yet I still watch.
Well, you can imagine my excitement when, a while before we left for Vegas, Giada de Laurentiis mentioned a restaurant in our hotel!!!!! It was in either a"chopsticks" or "noodles" episode (I can't remember which). The restaurant is called Wazuzu, and it serves several varieties of Asian foods. The dish Giada raved about is called "drunken noodles with chicken."
So of course, once I found out about this place and its notoriety, I made sure that dining here would be a priority. And let me tell you – Giada knows her stuff! Those noodles were FAN-tastic! You could choose the spiciness on a level from 1 to 5. I went for a 3, and found it not too spicy at all except for the fresh chiles on top. The noodles were like none I'd ever had before – extremely wide, which made them easy to pick up with chopsticks (I'm not extremely skilled at chopsticks, but I gave it a go for part of the meal). The sauce was sweet – I can't really describe it very well, since I'm no expert at Asian flavours. You can also see from the pictures that it was a very nice restaurant – a far cry from the typical low-brow Chinese buffets you'd go to.
I'm a little ashamed to say I ate that whole big bowl – even after a day of indulging in other less-than-healthy choices. They were just SO good – and, how you can say no to the best thing you ever ate?
Since I'm all about keepin' it real here at HHH, I'll tell you that I also had dessert – even though I TOTALLY didn't need it (you haven't seen all the other stuff I ate that day). And if the entree was the best thing I ever ate, this dessert most DEFINITELY falls into that category and it was absolutely out-of-this-world divinely delicious. What you are looking at is a Thai crepe, described on the menu as: "Thai roti crêpe, condensed milk, sugar, topped with coconut crunch ice cream." Just wow. It was a absolutely perfect combination of flavours and textures. The crepe was crispy and flaky, and sticky from the soaking of condensed milk. It was hot, the ice cream was cold, and the toasted coconut gave it a nice crunch…..HEAVEN (unless of course, you don't like coconut)!!!
My mom said she'd have a bit, but when it came, she said she was too full (kudos to her for listening to her gut in the face of an amazing dessert). It was all I could do not to eat the whole thing. Thankfully, the waitress came with our bill while the dessert was only partially demolished, so I was able to leave after eating 4/6 pieces…I don't know how much longer I would have been able to stare at that thing without giving in!
So, if you ever find yourself in Vegas, make time to stop at Wazuzu in the Encore (sister property to the Wynn, where we're staying….the buildings are joined). You won't regret it, and you may just find it's the best food you've ever eaten!
So, as I admitted above, I really am struggling with balance, discipline and self-control with all the amazing food here. I am making some healthier choices. They may be few and far between, but I'm trying to celebrate my successes. And we've also been walking a lot (due to traffic on "the strip," in order to cross the street, you have to go up and down stairs to bridges over the roadway, so that's a good thing). And I've fit in some activity every day (I coughed up the $15 for the fancy gym yesterday). I probably will come home a few pounds heavier. But, I AM on vacation, right? And this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm enjoying things I'd never normally eat. In the end, it's JUST FOOD. I can't let it rule my life, right? I should stop now though, you probably don't want/need to hear all my ramblings/self-analyzing. Like I said before – just keepin' it real!
I'll be back with more. We had our first "conference" event last night – another wow. As I said to my mom, "if they treat us like this the whole time, I'm ok with that!" So much to share with you, it's hard to know what to choose. I'll keep you posted!

Are you getting ready for your baby's big debut? Touring the maternity ward of your chosen hospitals is an important way for pregnant women and expectant fathers to prepare themselves for the big day.
There are lots of things to remember and since getting your questions answered is the whole point of taking a maternity ward tour, planning out your questions beforehand is definitely a good idea. Here are a few to get you started. Perhaps print the list and take it with you on your visit!
- When we arrive, do we need to check in at the front desk, or can I go straight to the Labour and delivery ward?
- Do we need to call the hospital before we arrive so they can get our files ready and alert the doctor?
- Do we check into the ER or go straight to Labour and Delivery after hours?
- What are the policies on cameras and video cameras in the delivery room/ward?
- Are cell phones allowed?
- Will baby be able to room with me the whole time?
- Can the father stay the night?
- What are my chances of getting a private room? Will my insurance cover it? Can this be pre booked?
- What security measures are in place for the maternity ward? Are there security armbands?
- What are the visiting hours, and what are the special Granny visiting hours?
- What sort of breastfeeding support is offered? How does it work?
- Is there an available lactation specialist in the hospital if needed?
- Where and when are my other children allowed to be with me?
- Is there any extra paperwork involved to get my partner's name on the birth certificate? (If you aren't married)
- Can I pre-register a couple of weeks before delivery?
- How many people are allowed in the delivery room?
- Can the expectant father or birth partner accompany the baby at all times while he or she is being bathed, etc.?
- If you're at a teaching hospital, what procedures are done by the attending vs. the residents?
- What is the hospital's policy for having food or drinks during labour?
- What is the checkout procedure?
This is a great opportunity to go and ask all your questions and put your mind at ease. Be sure to check with your hospital to see when they offer tours.

Author Note
This paper was prepared for SPCHxxx, Intercultural Communication taught by Professor xxxxxx.
Cultural Autobiographical Reflection
Cultural Group Membership
The first cultural group that I subscribe to and identify with is the African American culture. Like many, the African culture is represented in many forms such as music, art, storytelling and dance. Cultures exist to satisfy the needs of its subscribers. Through culture, I was taught about food habits, rituals concerning life and death, and how to worship. In many African American households, it is customary to serve black-eyed peas adhering to the belief that dish is a lucky New Year's meal is especially popular in the south. …show more content…
These practices frown upon verbal communication while attending classes, as in some settings verbal communication completely restricted. Nonverbal messages employ gesturing, the nodding of a head or point of a finger to indicate direction. There are times when an instructor uses body contact to help achieve certain poses or stands.
As stated by Kemp, "there are many references to verbal communication amongst New Agers, as we are said to use metaphors to describe experiences that are deemed beyond empirical" (p. 7). In addition, we have borrowed words that may tie into various beliefs systems and adopted the terms to apply to a subject matter within the subculture. A great example would be "energy" and "energy fields".
Subcultural Group Membership
The final subculture that I identify with is Bohemianism. The term is synonymous with a variation of artistry and is used as a generalized adjective describing such people, environs, or situations. The American College Dictionary defines Bohemian as "a person with artistic or intellectual tendencies, who lives and acts with no regard for conventional rules of behavior."
I developed a social attractiveness to the practices of this unconventional lifestyle and desired to be a part of it of this movement. Bohemians share a common belief that humans have a powerful life force and should use this power to become unique individuals. Within the Bohemian communities, the culture is usually comprised of like-minded

The only time I need a mega mansion is when my in-legal guidelines or mother and father come to visit. When portray the outside of your house and other outside features, you will have two essential characteristics to remember: how effectively it lasts and the way good it appears to be like. This unassuming farmhouse retains things sweet and simple with gentle white siding and blue roof.

The Villages is organized by Villages that have one or more sections of the Patio Villas, Courtyard Villas, Ranch – Cottage, Designer and in Premier houses. Something subtle that they did to make their exterior extra interesting is to increase the colour of the trim into a larger portion of the home's exterior. While HardiePlank lap siding in Iron Gray was used on many of the exterior, along with using Artic White HardieTrim® around the ends and home windows such as you typically would, additionally they used HardiePanel vertical siding and HardieTrim Batten Boards in the same Artic White shade in a large area of the house's second story peak and over the portico leading to their front door.
Open layouts are modern should-haves, making up the vast majority of in the present day's bestselling house plans. When you have the money to spend on a decent Sprinter, there are few better autos on the market. There's actually nothing else that competes in terms of flexibility and space for a customized buildout. However if you're on a price range, there are different choices that work well and price less.
When accompanied by landscaping in front of and past the gate, it attracts the attention in, making even a small entrance yard really feel deeper. This gray residence offers me all the great feels – I really like both the design and the traditional shade combo of grey ( James Hardie's Mild Mist ) and white.
