Race 11 of Clipper 2017-18 Race: Double prize giving celebrations in New York
Following the completion of the penultimate leg of the circumnavigation, which was made up of two races, the Clipper Race held a double Prize Giving celebration tonight in New Jersey, USA.
Set in a German beer hall, the lively celebrations, which covered both Race 10: The Garmin American Challenge from Seattle to Panama, and Race 11: Nasdaq Race from Panama to New York, were led by Clipper Race Director Mark Light and Deputy Director Tom Way.
The evening got underway by revealing the new Unicef fundraising total of £305,648 and the Leg 7 Unicef Charity Champion award, which was presented to Unicef Leg 7 crew member Lizbeth Rose for her outstanding fundraising efforts, which got started in Gosport before Race.
The rest of the evening was split into two halves and began with awards for Race 10.
The Photo Competition winner was the first award to be announced and after close competition it was a wildlife win for Charlie Garratt’s incredible photo of a whale up close to the Dare To Lead yacht which stole the show on the race from Seattle to Panama.
The GREAT Britain team took to the stage and were presented with a magnum of Stormhoek wine after being announced as the winners of the Race 10 Stormhoek Social Spirit award, receiving over 70 per cent of the total votes for the race. Lise Ewins from Stormhoek explained the reason, saying: “The crew were praised for their positive, animated attitude and their support for one another when the going got tough – in the true spirit of the Clipper Race.”
The GREAT Britain team then remained on stage to collect their third-place pennants for Race 10. They were followed by the Visit Seattle team, which took second place, and the Dare To Lead team which proudly took its moment to celebrate winning its first race of the 2017-18 edition.
As the jubilant atmosphere in Zeppelin Hall continued to build, the Race 11 awards got underway and for the first time in the 2017-18 edition, the Photo Competition for Race 11 was won by Ming Hao of Sanya Serenity Coast for his photo of Skipper Wendy Tuck during the race through the Caribbean islands.
The Race 11 Stormhoek Social Spirit award saw Dale Smyth and the crew of Dare To Lead take to the stage. Stormhoek’s Lise Ewins added: “We love it when the votes start rolling in as we always get to hear some inside info about what went down in the last race – the little things and the daily struggles that only your closest supporters hear about.
“Usually the supporters vote for one or two things that stood out for them in the particular race. Either something that was remarkable or something that pulled the crew closer together. But in this race, it was very different – so many reasons were mentioned why Dare To Lead deserved to win. Including this quote: Did you read about the sail track breaking, not once, but twice? Extraordinary repairs under extraordinary conditions, with extraordinary results.”
It was then the turn of GREAT Britain to take to the stage for the third time in the evening to claim their second third place pennant of Leg 7.
There was a special presentation for second place winners Sanya Serenity Coast with Sanya Tourism representative Zhao Kuan taking to the stage to personally award the team’s pennant. Finally, the biggest cheer of the night went to PSP Logistics, which won the race into New York on Wednesday, when they took to the stage to claim the team’s second first place pennant of the edition.
As is tradition at the end of a Clipper Race Leg, all departing crew members then took to the stage together to share one last celebration to recognise their incredible achievements.
Whilst Prize Giving may mark the end of Leg 7, a weeklong stopover programme will get underway in North Cove Marina, Manhattan with a host of FREE public events before the start of the final Leg 8: The Atlantic Homecoming Leg from New York on Monday 25 June:

This case requires us to consider whether the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause forbids the Government from permitting timber harvesting in, or constructing a road through, a portion of a National Forest that has traditionally been used for religious purposes by members of three American Indian tribes in northwestern California. We conclude that it does not.
As part of a project to create a paved 75-mile road linking two California towns, Gasquet and Orleans, the United States Forest Service has upgraded 49 miles of previously unpaved roads on federal land. In order to complete this project (the G-O road), the Forest Service must build a 6-mile paved segment through the Chimney Rock section of the Six Rivers National Forest. That section of the forest is situated between two other portions of the road that are already complete.
In 1977, the Forest Service issued a draft environmental impact statement that discussed proposals for upgrading an existing unpaved road that runs through the Chimney Rock area. In response to comments on the draft statement, the Forest Service commissioned a study of American Indian cultural and religious sites in the area. The Hoopa Valley Indian reservation adjoins the Six Rivers National Forest, and the Chimney Rock area has historically been used for religious purposes by Yurok, Karok, and Tolowa Indians. The commissioned study, which was completed in 1979, found that the entire area "is significant as an integral and indispensible [sic] part of Indian religious conceptualization and practice." App. 181. Specific sites are used for certain rituals, and "successful use of the [area] is dependent upon and facilitated by certain qualities of the physical environment, the most important of which are privacy, silence, and an undisturbed natural setting." Ibid. (footnote omitted). The study concluded that constructing a road along any of the available routes "would cause serious and irreparable damage to the sacred areas which are an integral and necessary part of the belief systems and lifeway of Northwest California Indian peoples." Id., at 182. Accordingly, the report recommended that the G-O road not be completed.
In 1982, the Forest Service decided not to adopt this recommendation, and it prepared a final environmental impact statement for construction of the road. The Regional Forester selected a route that avoided archeological sites and was removed as far as possible from the sites used by contemporary Indians for specific spiritual activities. Alternative routes that would have avoided the Chimney Rock area altogether were rejected because they would have required the acquisition of private land, had serious soil stability problems, and would in any event have traversed areas having ritualistic value to American Indians. At about the same time, the Forest Service adopted a management plan allowing for the harvesting of significant amounts of timber in this area of the forest. The management plan provided for one-half mile protective zones around all the religious sites identified in the report that had been commissioned in connection with the G-O road.
After exhausting their administrative remedies, respondents -- an Indian organization, individual Indians, nature organizations and individual members of those organizations, and the State of California -- challenged both the road-building and timber-harvesting decisions in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Respondents claimed that the Forest Service's decisions violated the Free Exercise Clause....
It is undisputed that the Indian respondents' beliefs are sincere and that the Government's proposed actions will have severe adverse effects on the practice of their religion. Respondents contend that the burden on their religious practices is heavy enough to violate the Free Exercise Clause unless the Government can demonstrate a compelling need to complete the G-O road or to engage in timber harvesting in the Chimney Rock area. We disagree.
In Bowen v. Roy, 476 U. S. 693 (1986), we considered a challenge to a federal statute that required the States to use Social Security numbers in administering certain welfare programs. Two applicants for benefits under these programs contended that their religious beliefs prevented them from acceding to the use of a Social Security number for their two-year-old daughter because the use of a numerical identifier would " rob the spirit' of [their] daughter and prevent her from attaining greater spiritual power." Similarly, in this case, it is said that disruption of the natural environment caused by the G-O road will diminish the sacredness of the area in question and create distractions that will interfere with "training and ongoing religious experience of individuals using [sites within] the area for personal medicine and growth . . . and as integrated parts of a system of religious belief and practice which correlates ascending degrees of personal power with a geographic hierarchy of power." The Court rejected this kind of challenge in Roy:
"The Free Exercise Clause simply cannot be understood to require the Government to conduct its own internal affairs in ways that comport with the religious beliefs of particular citizens. Just as the Government may not insist that [the Roys] engage in any set form of religious observance, so [they] may not demand that the Government join in their chosen religious practices by refraining from using a number to identify their daughter . . . .
The building of a road or the harvesting of timber on publicly owned land cannot meaningfully be distinguished from the use of a Social Security number in Roy. In both cases, the challenged government action would interfere significantly with private persons' ability to pursue spiritual fulfillment according to their own religious beliefs. In neither case, however, would the affected individuals be coerced by the Government's action into violating their religious beliefs; nor would either governmental action penalize religious activity by denying any person an equal share of the rights, benefits, and privileges enjoyed by other citizens.
We are asked to distinguish this case from Roy on the ground that the infringement on religious liberty here is "significantly greater," or on the ground that the government practice in Roy was "purely mechanical" whereas this case involves "a case-by-case substantive determination as to how a particular unit of land will be managed." Similarly, we are told that this case can be distinguished from Roy because "the government action is not at some physically removed location where it places no restriction on what a practitioner may do."
These efforts to distinguish Roy are unavailing. This Court cannot determine the truth of the underlying beliefs that led to the religious objections here or in Roy, and accordingly cannot weigh the adverse effects on the Roy and compare them with the adverse effects on respondents. Without the ability to make such comparisons, we cannot say that the one form of incidental interference with an individual's spiritual activities should be subjected to a different constitutional analysis than the other.
Respondents insist, nonetheless, that the courts below properly relied on a factual inquiry into the degree to which the Indians' spiritual practices would become ineffectual if the G-O road were built. It is true that this Court has repeatedly held that indirect coercion or penalties on the free exercise of religion, not just outright prohibitions, are subject to scrutiny under the First Amendment. This does not and cannot imply that incidental effects of government programs, which may make it more difficult to practice certain religions but which have no tendency to coerce individuals into acting contrary to their religious beliefs, require government to bring forward a compelling justification for its otherwise lawful actions. The crucial word in the constitutional text is "prohibit": "For the Free Exercise Clause is written in terms of what the government cannot do to the individual, not in terms of what the individual can exact from the government."
Whatever may be the exact line between unconstitutional prohibitions on the free exercise of religion and the legitimate conduct by government of its own affairs, the location of the line cannot depend on measuring the effects of a governmental action on a religious objector's spiritual development. The Government does not dispute, and we have no reason to doubt, that the logging and road-building projects at issue in this case could have devastating effects on traditional Indian religious practices. Those practices are intimately and inextricably bound up with the unique features of the Chimney Rock area, which is known to the Indians as the "high country." Individual practitioners use this area for personal spiritual development; some of their activities are believed to be critically important in advancing the welfare of the tribe, and indeed, of mankind itself. The Indians use this area, as they have used it for a very long time, to conduct a wide variety of specific rituals that aim to accomplish their religious goals. According to their beliefs, the rituals would not be efficacious if conducted at other sites than the ones traditionally used, and too much disturbance of the area's natural state would clearly render any meaningful continuation of traditional practices impossible. To be sure, the Indians themselves were far from unanimous in opposing the G-O road, and it seems less than certain that construction of the road will be so disruptive that it will doom their religion. Nevertheless, we can assume that the threat to the efficacy of at least some religious practices is extremely grave.
Even if we assume that we should accept the Ninth Circuit's prediction, according to which the G-O road will "virtually destroy the Indians' ability to practice their religion," the Constitution simply does not provide a principle that could justify upholding respondents' legal claims. However much we might wish that it were otherwise, government simply could not operate if it were required to satisfy every citizen's religious needs and desires. The First Amendment must apply to all citizens alike, and it can give to none of them a veto over public programs that do not prohibit the free exercise of religion.
The Constitution does not permit government to discriminate against religions that treat particular physical sites as sacred, and a law forbidding the Indian respondents from visiting the Chimney Rock area would raise a different set of constitutional questions. Whatever rights the Indians may have to the use of the area, however, those rights do not divest the Government of its right to use what is, after all, its land.
JUSTICE BRENNAN, with whom JUSTICE MARSHALL and JUSTICE BLACKMUN join, dissenting.
"'The Free Exercise Clause,'" the Court explains today, "'is written in terms of what the government cannot do to the individual, not in terms of what the individual can exact from the government.'" Pledging fidelity to this unremarkable constitutional principle, the Court nevertheless concludes that even where the Government uses federal land in a manner that threatens the very existence of a Native American religion, the Government is simply not "doing" anything to the practitioners of that faith. Instead, the Court believes that Native Americans who request that the Government refrain from destroying their religion effectively seek to exact from the Government de facto beneficial ownership of federal property. These two astonishing conclusions follow naturally from the Court's determination that federal land-use decisions that render the practice of a given religion impossible do not burden that religion in a manner cognizable under the Free Exercise Clause, because such decisions neither coerce conduct inconsistent with religious belief nor penalize religious activity. The constitutional guarantee we interpret today, however, draws no such fine distinctions between types of restraints on religious exercise, but rather is directed against any form of governmental action that frustrates or inhibits religious practice. Because the Court today refuses even to acknowledge the constitutional injury respondents will suffer, and because this refusal essentially leaves Native Americans with absolutely no constitutional protection against perhaps the gravest threat to their religious practices, I dissent.
For at least 200 years and probably much longer, the Yurok, Karok, and Tolowa Indians have held sacred an approximately 25 square-mile area of land situated in what is today the Blue Creek Unit of Six Rivers National Forest in northwestern California. As the Government readily concedes, regular visits to this area, known to respondent Indians as the "high country," have played and continue to play a "critical" role in the religious practices and rituals of these tribes.
As the Forest Service's commissioned study, the Theodoratus Report, explains, for Native Americans religion is not a discrete sphere of activity separate from all others, and any attempt to isolate the religious aspects of Indian life "is in reality an exercise which forces Indian concepts into non-Indian categories." A pervasive feature of this lifestyle is the individual's relationship with the natural world; this relationship, which can accurately though somewhat incompletely be characterized as one of stewardship, forms the core of what might be called, for want of a better nomenclature, the Indian religious experience. While traditional western religions view creation as the work of a deity "who institutes natural laws which then govern the operation of physical nature," tribal religions regard creation as an ongoing process in which they are morally and religiously obligated to participate. Native Americans fulfill this duty through ceremonies and rituals designed to preserve and stabilize the earth and to protect humankind from disease and other catastrophes. Failure to conduct these ceremonies in the manner and place specified, adherents believe, will result in great harm to the earth and to the people whose welfare depends upon it....
For respondent Indians, the most sacred of lands is the high country where, they believe, pre-human spirits moved with the coming of humans to the earth. Because these spirits are seen as the source of religious power, or "medicine," many of the tribes' rituals and practices require frequent journeys to the area. Thus, for example, religious leaders preparing for the complex of ceremonies that underlie the tribes' World Renewal efforts must travel to specific sites in the high country in order to attain the medicine necessary for successful renewal. Similarly, individual tribe members may seek curative powers for the healing of the sick, or personal medicine for particular purposes such as good luck in singing, hunting, or love. A period of preparation generally precedes such visits, and individuals must select trails in the sacred area according to the medicine they seek and their abilities, gradually moving to increasingly more powerful sites, which are typically located at higher altitudes. Among the most powerful of sites are Chimney Rock, Doctor Rock, and Peak 8, all of which are elevated rock outcroppings....
The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's determination that the proposed harvesting and construction activities violated respondents' constitutional rights. Recognizing that the high country is "indispensable" to the religious lives of the approximately 5,000 tribe members who reside in the area, Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Assn. v. Peterson, 795 F. 2d 688, 692 (CA9 1986), the court concluded "that the proposed government operations would virtually destroy the . . . Indians' ability to practice their religion." Like the lower court, the Court of Appeals found the Government's interests in building the road and permitting limited timber harvesting-interests did not justify the destruction of respondents' religion.
The Court does not for a moment suggest that the interests served by the G-O road are in any way compelling, or that they outweigh the destructive effect construction of the road will have on respondents' religious practices. Instead, the Court embraces the Government's contention that its prerogative as landowner should always take precedence over a claim that a particular use of federal property infringes religious practices. Attempting to justify this rule, the Court argues that the First Amendment bars only outright prohibitions, indirect coercion, and penalties on the free exercise of religion. All other "incidental effects of government programs," it concludes, even those "which may make it more difficult to practice certain religions but which have no tendency to coerce individuals into acting contrary to their religious beliefs," simply do not give rise to constitutional concerns. Since our recognition nearly half a century ago that restraints on religious conduct implicate the concerns of the Free Exercise Clause, see Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U. S. 158 (1944), we have never suggested that the protections of the guarantee are limited to so narrow a range of governmental burdens. The land-use decision challenged here will restrain respondents from practicing their religion as surely and as completely as any of the governmental actions we have struck down in the past, and the Court's efforts simply to define away respondents' injury as nonconstitutional is both unjustified and ultimately unpersuasive....
I thus cannot accept the Court's premise that the form of the Government's restraint on religious practice, rather than its effect, controls our constitutional analysis....
Ultimately, the Court's coercion test turns on a distinction between governmental actions that compel affirmative conduct inconsistent with religious belief, and those governmental actions that prevent conduct consistent with religious belief. In my view, such a distinction is without constitutional significance. The crucial word in the constitutional text, as the Court itself acknowledges, is "prohibit," a comprehensive term that in no way suggests that the intended protection is aimed only at governmental actions that coerce affirmative conduct. Nor does the Court's distinction comport with the principles animating the constitutional guarantee: religious freedom is threatened no less by governmental action that makes the practice of one's chosen faith impossible than by governmental programs that pressure one to engage in conduct inconsistent with religious beliefs.....The harm to the practitioners is the same regardless of the manner in which the Government restrains their religious expression, and the Court's fear that an "effects" test will permit religious adherents to challenge governmental actions they merely find "offensive" in no way justifies its refusal to recognize the constitutional injury citizens suffer when governmental action not only offends but actually restrains their religious practices. Here, respondents have demonstrated that the Government's proposed activities will completely prevent them from practicing their religion, and such a showing, no less than those made out in Hobbie, Thomas, Sherbert, and Yoder, entitles them to the protections of the Free Exercise Clause....
In the final analysis, the Court's refusal to recognize the constitutional dimension of respondents' injuries stems from its concern that acceptance of respondents' claim could potentially strip the Government of its ability to manage and use vast tracts of federal property. In addition, the nature of respondents' site-specific religious practices raises the specter of future suits in which Native Americans seek to exclude all human activity from such areas. These concededly legitimate concerns lie at the very heart of this case, which represents yet another stress point in the longstanding conflict between two disparate cultures -- the dominant western culture, which views land in terms of ownership and use, and that of Native Americans, in which concepts of private property are not only alien, but contrary to a belief system that holds land sacred. Rather than address this conflict in any meaningful fashion, however, the Court disclaims all responsibility for balancing these competing and potentially irreconciliable interests, choosing instead to turn this difficult task over to the federal legislature. Such an abdication is more than merely indefensible as an institutional matter: by defining respondents' injury as "non-constitutional," the Court has effectively bestowed on one party to this conflict the unilateral authority to resolve all future disputes in its favor, subject only to the Court's toothless exhortation to be "sensitive" to affected religions. In my view, however, Native Americans deserve -- and the Constitution demands -- more than this.

Meet Eric Strohecker, owner of Bach at Rock Powell
Eric Strohecker brings a wealth of hands-on experience in the music industry to his new role as owner of Bach at Rock Powell. Most recently, he was director of production and operations at the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance. Previously, he enjoyed a successful 30-year career in the United States Air Force, serving in various roles such as Group Director, Group Superintendent, and Group Supervisor at several United States Air Force bases including Germany, Japan , Nebraska, Virginia and Ohio. Eric’s love for music began in high school and led him to Indiana University School of Music, where he earned his Bachelor of Music degree in tuba performance. He then earned his master’s degree in management at Wright State University.
“My current adventure in life is to positively impact students by teaching music and making live music a vital part of community culture,” said Eric Strohecker. Few activities can match the fun and varied benefits for students to perform music for themselves and their audience. “Playing music with others helps children learn teamwork and personal responsibility, and social interaction helps build self-confidence. Additionally, the physiological brain development that occurs while playing of an instrument has many advantages,” he added.
Bach to Rock Powell offers programs for students of all ages, including: individual and group lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drums and more; “Rock City” for preschoolers and “Rock and Roll” for toddlers; start piano “Kids n Keys” for children in kindergarten through 2nd grade; and summer camps and birthday parties. Additionally, students can get involved in a glee club or rock band.

Wherever you are on the map, you’ll find the city teeming with free-spirited individuals, with larger-than-life imagination – adventurous to the point of hedonism. London is the shining “crown jewel” in the areas of innovative theatre, visual culture, pioneering music, ground-breaking writing, poetry, architecture, design, and culinary innovation.
London has it all. It is the “city of ideas” and the “city of dreams”, an innovator in the fields of heritage, arts, culture, literature, and music. Home to the “greatest of the greatest”, Charlie Chaplin, Virginia Woolf, Elton John, Alfred Hitchcock the “king of movies”, and Ryan Bishti, his majesty, “the King of the Party” – you name it, London has it, and makes it fun too!
Let’s dive straight into the fun…
From Dusk till Dawn – How London has Never Stopped Partying
After two years of lockdown, we can definitely say it – On London life, how we’ve missed you!
We have missed everything, the overzealous bouncers with their high-visibility jackets standing straight at the club’s entrance, the larcenously pricey cocktails on Sloane Square, the beaming lights of Regent street, the vivid and festive colours of Carnaby Street, the everlasting evenings along the gaudy, graffiti-clad canals of Hackney – It is great to have you back, London!
And that is why we have decided to bring it all back, in words and pictures, through this account of London’s night partying scene through the ages – We have what it takes to party like it was the 1920s. Let’s make these the Roaring 20s – 2020s.
The nightlife in London is both reactionary and visionary, luxurious and diverse, thrilling and brilliant. London clubs have been a cultural force that has distinguished Britain’s vibrant and ever-changing party scene for decades. These clubs have been at the forefront of each generation’s most innovative music, culture, and fashion scene.
1960s – Annabelle’s in Soho by Mark Birley
Mark Birley named Annabel’s in Soho after his wife at the time, Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart. It was envisioned as a piano bar for high-society people to sip at before going to gamble their night (and capital) away in the upstairs rooms. Birley was scrupulous, shrewd, and rich, which helped Annabel’s strive and quickly become the “place to be” in the 1960s and 1970s. Birley’s fame remains today, even though Annabel’s is now owned by fashion entrepreneur Richard Caring.
Annabel’s has drawn to its eclectic, gilded rooms some of the biggest names in the galaxy of stardom, Frank Sinatra, Kate Moss, Jack Nicholson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Princess Diana.
1970s – Roxy in Covent Garden by Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington
The couple renovated The Chaguaramas Club in London’s Covent Garden area and turned it into the Roxy in 1970. This was the 70s’ most prominent (and fun) punk venue. Siouxsie and the Banshees, Generation X, Chrissie Hynde, and The Clash were all frequents in the club.
1980s – Taboo in Leicester Square by Leigh Bowery
Melbourne-born, London-based designer Leigh Bowery founded his Taboo nightclub in 1985. Taboo was the location for extreme fashion, gender fluidity, and personality expression. Taboo’s dress code was “Dress like your life depends on it, or don’t even bother” Bowery’s styles ignited the parties and his appearance was always the main spectacle.
Major names in the Taboo club include Boy George, Nicola Bateman, and artist Trojan.
1990s – Trade in Clerkenwell Road by Laurence Malice
Laurence Malice founded Trade in Clerkenwell Road in 1990. The club was the first 24-hour club in the UK as well as being the pioneering gay scene.
Trade’s opening hours were supposed to attract guys to attend the club instead of cruising in the parks after parties. Tony De Vit and other prominent DJs popularised hard house at the club. Stars like Rupert Everett, Kate Moss, and Alexander McQueen would often be seen partying the night away at Malice’s club.
2000s – Jungle Fever in Brixton by Eastman
The UK’s longest-running rave. Eastman pioneered jungle, which then transformed into grime and dubstep. Grime artists including Dizzee, Wiley, and Riko have identified Kool FM as an inspiration – the pirate radio station developed by Eastman.
2010s – Dalston Superstore, Dance Tunnel in Dalston by Dan Beaumont
Dan Beaumont began his DJ career at the famed Disco Bloodbath gigs.
Dance Tunnel’s is definitely one of the main centres of London’s nightlife and its jet-engine soundsystem makes it the greatest of Dalston’s basement clubs. The club boasts some of the world’s greatest new house, techno, and other dance music.
But Who “Owns” the Party Now?
2020s – Cirque Le Soir in Soho by Ryan Bishti
Ryan Bishti, otherwise known as “the King of London’s Roaring 2020s” or “the King of Nightlife” is the man behind the vision.
Cirque Le Soir, part of the cream-group, is the nightclub of eternity in the streets of dreams. The eclectic, yet warm decor makes us all dream about times past while its modern vision encapsulates perfectly the city that hosts it. Young, vibrant, fun, yet classy and dazzling. Just like its owner – club promoter turned business mogul, Ryan Bishti.
Cirque Le Soir first opened its doors to the public in 2009 and has since gained a reputation that is celebrated and admired all over the world attracting the biggest names in the show-business, from Rihanna and Cara Delevigne to Kanye West and the Kardashian “Klan”.
Cirque Le Soir was one of the first-ever locations in London to offer a truly spell-binding atmosphere and a night to remember. It was also one of the first places that managed to seamlessly incorporate live entertainment into its nightly offering, which enchanted both the city and its clients.

Joy Behar doesn't think Meghan Markle's royal rebellion is heroic: 'Oh, come on'
If Meghan Markle is looking for a shoulder to cry on, she probably shouldn’t turn to Joy Behar.
Markle and her husband Prince Harry’s recent declaration of independence from the royal family —dubbed “Mexit” by British tabloids — has garnered sympathy from many who saw a couple hounded by the press and criticized at every turn.
“Imagine having to go up against a place like the royal family and Buckingham Palace,” said the View co-host Abby Huntsman.
Behar disagreed and interrupted. “Oh, come on. She did it,” said Behar. “She said, ‘hey, I want to be a princess’ so now she’s a princess,” she added.
“I don’t think she said she wanted to be a princess, I think she just wanted to marry Harry, and he just happened to be a prince,” countered guest co-host, actress Yvette Nicole Brown.
“What a coincidence — he’s a prince!” joked Behar.
Viewers on took to Twitter with their opinions, and some said Behar should be a little more sympathetic to Markle’s plight:
Prince Harry is protecting his family. He wants out of the abusive relationship with the press and refuses to allow them to destroy Meghan like they did his mother.
Meanwhile, people are throwing fits as if they own them.
They royals are in golden handcuffs. #TheView
— LightNDarkness (@PoetTLStarr) January 10, 2020
Joy, I disown you for bringing that question about Harry. You are a bully and you are the problem with why Meghan and Harry have to go hide.
— Tina Davila (@casinodavila) January 10, 2020
But others agreed that Markle knew exactly what she was getting into:
@TheView only in America, will blame everyone else except the real reason, it’s Meghan. She knew what royalty meant. This was her plan right from the get go. I hope the queen and her son Charles disowns them. Madam Tussauds got it right, when she removed them from her gallery.
— William (@WilliamEdm) January 10, 2020
@TheView I have an unpopular view. Meghan married into the toughest family in the world. She knew it. I think Meghan has a responsibility to facilitate the family’s mission. I think this is a manipulative move on her part.

The Georgian Triangle Humane Society is pleased to report the success of the first ever Mobile Spay/Neuter clinic initiative held on May 26th at the Curling Club in Collingwood. This event provided access to spay/neuter surgery and wellness services such as heartworm prevention, core vaccinations, microchips and parasite treatment. 29 pets were fixed and received essential vaccinations such as rabies.
The Mobile Spay/Neuter unit is owned by the Welland & District Humane Society and has been accredited by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO). In addition, permission has been granted by the CVO to provide mobile spay/neuter services in a mobile unit in communities in Ontario.
“This is a significant step forward in developing and providing access to essential veterinary services to low income and senior community members. We are pleased to be working in partnership with the Welland & District Humane Society to improve access to service and help control animal overpopulation,” said Sonya Reichel, Executive Director with the Georgian Triangle Humane Society.
A team of volunteers, from both organizations involved, ran the clinic. Three veterinarians were onsite with over 20 volunteers and staff supporting the 10-hour day.
“Spay/Neutering pets not only helps address the pet over population crisis, but also helps address community issues of infectious disease control and pet wellness,” says, Dr. Jen Farr, D.V.M
“Efforts such as these will truly make a difference in the lives of many pets and the communities they live in.”
The event was made possible due to the generous donations of many local volunteers including veterinarians, veterinary surgeons, animal welfare workers and supporters.

Listen: Bok Bok & Girl Unit Live @ Heaven
Listen to Night Slugs duo Bok Bok and Girl Unit lean through 30 minutes worth of material recorded live using strictly hardware.
The performance was allegedly a one off set from Bok Bok and Girl Unit done in unannounced support for bonafide popstar Kindness (who has close links with the Night Slugs family) last week and sees the duo rip through self styled bespoke versions of some Night Slugs classics; “Silo Pass”, “Reminder”,” Look”, “Ensemble” and “Wut” all feature and were performed using an MPC, TR-909, Sequential Circuits Drumtraks, Juno 106, Polysix and FX – not a laptop in sight.
You can listen or download the live set below and the only regret we have from this 29 minute performance is that the duo didn’t elect to slip any impromptu cover versions into the mix as homage to Kindness, a band reknowned for including Roy Davis Jnr and Womack & Womack classics in their live performances.

A little while ago I mentioned that I was looking into refinancing some of my rental property. I figured that interest rates had gotten so low it was worth looking into and seeing what might happen. I think there is only one way for rates to go and that is up. Well, life got in the way and I had to get some other things done first as I am sure that most of you know. But now, I have been able to begin looking into the refi again.
It turns out that the mortgage guy at the bank left so I am with a new guy. I have only spoken with him on the phone, but I think I like him better. He is fairly responsive, and I think we can get this done.
I made myself a spreadsheet at the end of October with the data from all 6 of my rental houses. One is the place we used to live in before moving 12 years ago. We have a second mortgage on it so there is not a lot of equity. But the other 5 are the ones that I will be able to refinance. I figured that while I was decreasing the interest rate, I would also look into decreasing the term.
Currently, my rates run from 6.38% to 7% with remaining terms of 21 to 23 years. I had him look at 20 year and 15 year numbers, and I am liking what I see.
For the 20 year term, the interest rate would be 4.25% and I would have to bring just over $13,000 to closing. The payments would decline by about $948 per month. It would take about 14 months to break even and get my cash back.
For the 15 year term, the interest rate would be 3.125% and I would have to bring $10,500 to closing with payments being reduced by $659 per month. It would take me 16 months to get the cash expense back. But I would save 5 full years of payments at the back end compared to the 20 year mortgage. And I will definitely save a bundle compared to my current situation.
The savings could be used to pay some of my other debts which I am working aggressively to get under control. Right now, that seems like the best use of cash right now. I would prefer not to bring that much cash to closing, but consider the return on investment, and it is a great deal. If over the first year, I save $7908 in cash on my $10,500 investment now, my cash on cash return is just over 75%. Who wouldn’t take that kind of return on investment? So it makes abundant sense to get this thing done.
Which is why I hoping the refinancing on the rental houses all works out.
Since I am having to liquidate my retirement portfolio to pay for some tax debt, I want to have something financial that I can focus on and consider a project. So I am spending the next 3 years really focused on maximizing monthly cash flow and paying off debt. If I can pay off just the debts that I have listed in my spreadsheet, I can cut about 30% out of my monthly budget and free up cash for other purposes. Besides, paying off debt is a great way to improve my net worth without having to pay taxes on the gains.
Refinancing the Rental Property
I met with a banker yesterday to look at doing a refinance on 4 of my rental houses. I have anywhere from 20-29% equity in the properties with 20 years 10 months to 22 years 11 months left on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. The interest rates range from 6.375% to 7%.
Even though I am unable to get the best deal due to my credit score (I have a lot of debt relative to the credit lines), it does seem worth it and is consistent with my goal of decreasing expenses and improving cash flow in order to pay off as much debt as possible in the next 36 months. This includes rolling some closing costs into the mortgage. Of course, I will have to see the final deal but the initial numbers looked reasonable.
Assuming everything continues as expected, I would only be saving from $60-70 per month, but multiplied across several houses, the savings will add up and allow me to use the money for paying off higher interest rate debt. I will also be able to eliminate PMI on the one property on which I only put 10% down.
Decreasing the Term
The best part of the deal, though, is that I will not only save a bit of money each month, but I will be saving anywhere from 10 months to 2 years and 11 months on the mortgages since they will all be 20 year loans with a fixed interest rate. This will add up to some additional savings on the back end.
When I add it all up, it looks like I will end up saving $132,000 over the next 20 years which works out to be a decent return on about $10,000 in total closing costs. I will report actual numbers after the closing.
This is just one of the steps that will help me pay off a lot of debt over the next 36 months and free up some cash flow that can be put to better use besides lining the pockets of the bankers.
Here are the carnivals that had articles from my blogs in them this past week:
I read this article earlier today stating that in 98 of 100 of the top housing markets, buying is cheaper than renting. I remember when buying was incredibly expensive in many cities compared to the median income of the area. That signaled the top of the market. It wasn’t long before the bottom fell out and there was no demand. Now I have to wonder if the bottom of the real estate market is near. Of course it could be another year or two before there is an increase in housing prices, but if it doesn’t make financial sense to rent, then that says something.
If nothing else, it means that investing in real estate makes sense for investors who have the money and can turn around and charge rent to those who are unable to get mortgages. Mortgage rates are near record lows which is another good reason to purchase a home.
I remember growing up listening to my dad mention the mortgage rate of 12% that he was paying on the house where we lived. From there I remember interest rates increasing into the late 70’s when you could get up to 8% on a passbook savings account. As a result, I considered myself quite fortunate to get a mortgage for less than double digits when it came time to purchase my first house.
I also remember those days as being before the internet. In order to see the impact of interest rate changes, you had to have a book and look at tables unless you were a financial professional with the nifty financial calculator. But now, there are awesome mortgage calculators online that can be used to run all sorts of down payment and interest rate scenarios instantly.
With interest rates so low, this could be considered a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase some real estate. I wouldn’t worry about trying to time the market since the fact that renting is more expensive would suggest to me that renters will start looking at ways to get away from that option. There is still a substantial portion of the population that desires to own a home.
In fact, I have a long term renter (about 3 years) that informed me earlier this month he had purchased a home and would be moving out. Of course, I am not excited about losing a tenant and having to rent the place again. But I am happy for him that he can finally afford to get his own place. Besides, we always have someone looking to rent from us and have a few prospects already. I bet that it can be rented without having to run an advertisement in the local paper.
One of the great things about the internet and Facebook is that my wife is able to keep tabs on lots of friends or acquaintances that might be looking for a place to stay. We are often contacted about openings that we might have. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to purchase ourselves and take advantage of the low interest rates.
Instead, we are working at paying off debt and are hoping that while the housing market is bottoming out, it takes several years to really pick up steam so we can buy low and eventually sell high.

With the home loan emergency being the greatest news in the economy today, it’s an ideal opportunity to make a stride back and perceive how it has influenced the land business. Home costs are at last beginning to bounce back, and that is a decent sign for the economy.
Apparently the sun is beginning to get through the mists for the lodging market. Lodging costs saw their first week over week builds this quarter. Boston lodging costs are driving the way, up 0.5% from a week ago in the wake of being down 1.2% over the most recent 90 days. Las Vegas, still the most affected cit, diminished 1.2% this week and is down 6.9% over the most recent 90 days.
Expanding lodging costs are a positive sign in all cases. Foundering contract organizations advantage, as any potential dispossession deals will yield higher incomes. Thus, this will diminish the misfortunes the organizations are compelled to take. This news searches useful for home manufacturers, particularly for the business chiefs, for example, DR Horton Inc. (DHI) and Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL).
The planning is by all accounts ideal for putting resources into Real Estate House Investment Trusts (REIT). The blend of increasing lodging costs and diminishing financing costs makes for an ideal circumstance. As of late REIT’s have exchanged at their relative bottoms and are incredibly modest as of right now. This attempts for our potential benefit as financial specialists in two different ways: climbing stock costs and appealing profit yields.
What makes REIT’s unique in relation to typical traded on an open market organizations is that it gives speculators a route to claim business and their land possessions – without the liquidity gives that face private land proprietorship. Moreover, REIT’s compensation out more noteworthy than 90% of their book benefit as a profit.
Lower financing costs have detrimentally affected speculator’s money holds, regardless of whether they are as bank accounts or CD’s, which makes high-yielding stocks considerably more appealing. As financing costs keep on being brought down by the Federal Reserve, an ever increasing number of speculators will be removing their money from investment funds instruments and purchasing up safe, profit yielding stocks to recover their lost premium pay. What’s more, what preferable spot to put over in REIT’s. The current week’s normal rate for a multi month CD is 3.10%, while REIT’s, for example, Simon Property Group (SPG), Post Properties Inc. (PPS), and Duke Realty Corp (DRE), are yielding as much as 4.1%, 5.8%, and, 7.9% separately.

Former Breakermag reporter Corin Faife’s analysis shows that just 4.64 per cent of all commits gathered from the 100 most popular blockchain projects submitted to GitHub are written by developers having female names.
According to recent research, data on 1,026,804 commits shows that only 47,678 had been written by women and 691,134 by men (the rest of the entries were either made anonymously or developers’ names were ambiguous).
Unless most anonymous commits were made by women—which is unlikely—the blockchain sector remains an overwhelmingly male-dominated industry. Faife cites additional research which confirms his findings—GitHub surveyed 5,500 open source developers, 95 per cent of whom identified as male.
Gender discrepancy is similar across most projects. The research shows, “54 projects incorporated fewer than 100 code commits from female-named developers, and 31 of these projects incorporated fewer than 10 code commits.”
The research analysed top 100 blockchain projects listed on Messari’s OnChainFX dashboard, ignoring companies that are not mainly blockchain and forks. After assembling the dataset of all contributions, Faife attempted to determine the gender of the contributors by using Genderize.io—the tool analysed names and predicted their probable gender.
Faife noted that he realises gender is complicated and even genderised names may not reveal the gender the person identifies with. “Having a name that is parsed as female does not equate to being a woman and vice versa. Increasingly the male/female binary is seen as a reductive way to examine gender, so these findings only give a rough proxy for the gender identity of blockchain developers,” he wrote.


LYNN AC had their home show recently with nine of their boxers in action.
Four of their junior squad, James Omoniyi, Cyrus Donaldson, Romeo Johnson and Nathon Fitzgerald ll stole the show.
Coach Terry Pearson said: “Each one boxed with so much skill and composure you would have thought they were well beyond their years, and all of them walked away with a win. Credit must go out to our junior coach Elwin who has been working all season with these boys, most of the time single-handedly. He has done such a great job. Our other junior boxer Salar Shafai also came away with an impressive unanimous point win.”
It was a day of mixed results for the seniors, with Daniel Williams and Tyrease Patterson both losing split decisions in their bouts. Nathon Angle (86kg) and Tundi Davis (75kg) both came away with unanimous points wins in their contests.
Some of the fighter will be in competition again on April 29 in supporting bouts on the London ABAS Senior Finals Championships to be held at Napier house in Grove Park.

Montreal, Canada's second-largest city, is geographically an island in the southeast. With festivals year-round, a low cost of living, and a solid reputation among the most livable cities, it is widely regarded as one of the best places to live. The city is also a popular destination for those seeking employment in Canada, with 45,000 immigrants choosing Montreal annually. Enjoying life in Montreal is easy because it's full of opportunities, fun, and wonderful people.
About the City of Montreal
Montreal is ranked as the most happening city in Canada. Montreal is a true party city known for its nightlife, cheap rent, and art scene, but it doesn’t have that go-go-go like in other major cities.
The people of Montreal are joyous and friendly. The residents include families, elderly individuals, students, immigrants, and young professionals. And don’t worry if you cannot speak French - most people here speak English or a mix of both (Franglish), allowing you to pick it up fast. Montreal words, like depanneur (convenience store), metro (subway), and casse-croûte (snack bar), are going to be a part of your vernacular in no time!
Montrealers are a laid-back population who love to have fun. It’s common for people to head to happy hour right after work for “5 à 7,” which translates to 5-7 p.m., but a true happy hour usually lasts much longer than that. Bars here are open later than anywhere else in the country.
As a cultural and artistic hub, this city features a variety of world-renowned art galleries and exhibitions. Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts is a must-see, but don’t miss some smaller art galleries, like La Guilde. Montreal is always buzzing with activity!
Living in Montreal
So sure, Montreal sounds like a blast, but you’re probably wondering, “How much do you need to live comfortably in Montreal?”
If you’re moving from Toronto to Montreal, you’ll find that rent alone is 35-40% less than in Toronto. It’s not just rent, however. Transportation, dining out, and groceries are considerably less expensive than Torontonians. Nevertheless, Montrealers earn 37% less than Torontonians.
|Q: Is Montreal an expensive place to live?
A: Rent for a Montreal one-bedroom apartment is just over $1,400, and a three-bedroom is approximately $2,500 inside Montreal proper. Live outside the city, and you’re looking at considerably less. Considering the large Montreal population of an estimated 1.7 million, the city is much cheaper than comparable cities such as Vancouver and Toronto.
Montreal is a great place to settle down when considering moving to a new city. The cost of living is manageable, and there is so much to see and do:
Exceptional public art and culture scene
The city's vibrant arts scene and cheap rent have attracted many artists, poets, and writers. As a result, Montreal is an excellent place to meet like-minded people. The bars remain open until 3 a.m. due to the numerous events at night.
Shop for beer at the famous Montreal corner stores
You can buy beer in corner stores called dépanneurs if you don't enjoy the nightlife but still want a cold one. A few of these even introduced craft beer rooms, sushi bars, and snack shops. Nothing beats a cold beer on a humid day, only steps from your home.
Montreal's food scene is like a trip around the world
In Montreal, you'll find countless restaurants influenced by cuisines around the globe. Getting a taste of the real thing never disappoints, but you don't need a passport.
Montreal offers a wide variety of culinary options, whether you're craving Mediterranean, Asian, or African cuisine. Save yourself the hassle of the airport, and indulge at Noren for Japanese fare, Café Chez Teta for the best Lebanese food, or La Rôtisserie Panama for to-die-for Mediterranean cuisine. It is impossible to list all our favourite restaurants here, but we are sure you will enjoy discovering new restaurants throughout Montreal!
Attend a festival (Montreal has many!)
Due to this city's cultural importance, Montreal hosts plenty of festivals. One of the reasons people come here from all over the world is because of the comedy festival Just for Laughs.
Fans of martial arts and horror movies love the Fantasia Film Festival, and the International Jazz Festival is the place to go if you're into jazz. At the same time, Osheaga Music and Arts Festival features alternative rock.
In addition, there's Igloofest in January, First People’s Festival in August, and Montreal en Lumiere, one of the largest winter festivals in the world. There’s always something happening in Montreal!
What should I know before moving to Montreal?
Moving to Montreal is different than moving to most other Canadian cities. Here are some things to keep in mind:
|Q: Do I have to know French to live in Montreal?
A: The answer is no. Most Montrealers speak both languages, so ordering food or shopping shouldn’t be challenging. If you are planning to move to Montreal, you should consider taking French language lessons since many Montrealers prefer speaking French, and some won't even speak English with you.
Francophone vs. Anglophone neighbourhoods
If you live in or near the downtown core, the Plateau, Mile End, or Westmount, you can get by with only knowing English. Make sure you research, as some neighbourhoods are more Francophone than others, such as the borough of Ville-Marie and Quartier Latin.
Public transportation in Montreal
Public transportation isn't the best in Montreal, so find a home near a metro station or popular bus routes. Cycling is another way to get around, but the winter can be tricky. Montreal weather can be beautifully hot during summer, while winter can be freezing due to snow, wind, and rain.
Renting or buying an apartment in Montreal
For all you Anglophone readers, if you see a sign saying ‘a vendre,’ it means apartments are for sale. ‘A louer,’ refers to apartments for rent. Also, a “3 ½ a louer” includes all the rooms: living room, kitchen, one bedroom, and the ½ is a bathroom.
Montreal is a great place to make new friends
Montrealers are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes it easy to become a part of the community without any issues. So if you don't know anyone here, don't worry; you'll have a solid group of friends in a couple of weeks.
Driving in Montreal
Last but not least, if you are a driver, please be aware of the many one-way streets and aggressive cyclists on the road. Be sure to look before opening your car door and be hypervigilant about signs. Driving in Montreal may seem challenging, but you'll get the hang of it!
Montreal Neighbourhoods Map
When exploring Montreal, you'll quickly realize that most residents speak both French and English. Despite being a bilingual city, it is also a melting pot of Anglophones, Francophones, and immigrants. Then you will want to know which neighbourhoods are more favoured by English speakers and which are more preferred by French speakers if you are looking for a place to live. Here is a quick glimpse into Montreal's neighbourhoods. Then, check out our article on Montreal’s Best Neighbourhoods for a more in-depth look.
|Q: What are the most English-speaking neighbourhoods in Montréal?
A: Montréal is home to a distinct minority of unilingual Anglophones. However, there are some neighbourhoods where English is spoken more frequently. If you're moving to the city and don't speak French, we recommend taking French classes to adjust more seamlessly. There are many language schools in the Montreal area — and they double as a great place to meet new people!
Montreal Neighbourhoods for English Speakers
If you’re looking for a mostly English-speaking neighbourhood, start your search here:
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce: Great for families
Nearly 70,000 people live in NDG, which is bordered by Montreal West and Westmount. There is a lot of diversity within that population and communities within communities. Most of the residents of NDG are anglophones and upper-middle-class Canadians. Visible minorities make up about one-third.
In this area are 40 primary and 17 secondary schools operated by the English Montreal School Board (ESMB), which serves anglophones. In addition, families can walk to most things they need in NDG.
Montreal West: Another family-oriented place west of NDG
Nearly two-thirds of the 5,000 residents speak English as their first language, and three-quarters do at home. This primarily residential suburb to the southwest of the city center has a high Anglophone population. It is a relatively affluent neighbourhood that offers excellent educational opportunities for English speakers. The Royal West Academy is Quebec's top anglophone high school.
Westmount: Perfect for active, young professionals
In addition to having some of Montreal's most attractive parks and gardens, this English-speaking enclave rivals Vancouver and Toronto for having some of the most expensive neighbourhoods in the country.
In Westmount, many public and private schools serve its anglophone population, with about 55% describing themselves as native English speakers.
The Suburbs: Family-friendly
You might find English more prevalent outside of Montreal city centre. There is a clear Anglophone majority in neighbourhoods like Kirkland, Pointe-Claire, and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, all located on the island's west end, beyond Montreal West and the airport.
Although not in Montreal proper, Île-Perrot is an excellent area to find a more affordable home with a backyard. The median price for a home here is $267,000.
Meanwhile, Brossard, located east of the Saint Lawrence River, has nearly four times more native English speakers than native French speakers. In almost half of these households, a language other than English or French is spoken.
|Q: What are the most French-speaking neighbourhoods in Montréal?
A: When you get outside the West End suburbs listed above, Montréal has an even higher concentration of French speakers.
Montreal Neighbourhoods for French Speakers
The French influence is even more significant in some neighbourhoods:
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie: Fabulous for everyone!
There are many ethnic quarters in this 125,000-person borough in Montreal, including Little Italy, which is located east of the city. Due to this, about 12% of Montréal's residents speak another language at home besides French or English. Despite this, only 5% of the borough's population is anglophone, while 83% speak French. While there is some nightlife here, this “jack-of-all-trades” neighbourhood is fantastic for all ages with its friendly atmosphere and tree-lined streets.
Many notable landmarks and attractions, including Olympic Village (where you can rent a unique apartment!), Jean-Talon Market, Botanical Garden of Montreal, and Insectarium, can be found in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.
Ville-Marie: A good mix of retirement living, students, and families
Ville-Marie includes downtown Montréal, Old Town, and several Francophone neighbourhoods, most notably Centre-Sud and Quartier Latin. Transportation in this area makes it easy to get around, which is great for students and seniors. Several French universities and post-secondary institutions are located here, as well as Montréal's burgeoning entertainment district, Quartier des Spectacles.
Plateau-Mont-Royal: Students and young professionals cycling haven
There are just over 100,000 residents in this borough, which sits north of downtown and is the most populated neighbourhood in Canada. This eight square kilometre area has long been characterized by a mix of French and Québécois heritage. The eastern portion of the Plateau remains home to Québécois, while the remainder has become increasingly popular with Parisian ex-pats and hipsters. This neighbourhood has cafes, charming townhouses, trails, and parks.
Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve: Senior housing for lower incomes
There are plenty of residential zones and a strong industrial presence in this large borough on the island's east end, which has a very urban character. The heavily working-class neighbourhood is not considered one of Montréal's nicer areas, especially on the west side. Over 85% of its residents speak French at home, whereas only 5% speak English. Since the rents are lower in this area, a high number of older adults and seniors live here.
The Suburbs: French family-friendly
There are also francophone suburbs outside Montreal. Just east of the Saint Lawrence River, next to Brossard, Longueuil has 79 percent of its residents speaking French natively. The French language is nearly as dominant in Deux-Montagnes, a town north of Montreal Island, with about 75 percent of its population speaking it as their mother tongue.
Is Moving to Montreal a Good Idea?
Montreal is the perfect place for you if you're a fan of art, affordable housing, and nightlife (or love life), period. There’s always something happening in Montreal, and you’ll never be bored. Just be sure to grab the proper winter gear for the freezing winters here and enroll yourself in French classes to acclimate quickly.
Feeling Montreal vibes in your future? Now let’s talk about how you can get there. Yes, moving can be difficult and will likely involve some stress. However, there are ways to reduce this stress. Moving safely and efficiently to your new home is possible if you give yourself enough time, get organized, and plan well.
Full-Service Montreal Movers
You can hire a full-service mover if money is no issue and you wish to limit your time and effort. Depending on how much you want to pay, full-service movers can provide as little or as much service as you like. In addition to packing and unpacking your house, a full-service mover will transport your things to your next home and can even help put everything in place.
The downside is that you’re tied to the movers’ scheduled once book. If plans change, expect additional charges, and potentially delays that you leave you scrambling.
Montreal Rental Trucks
You can always rent a truck and do all the work when moving on a budget if you have a strong back and a few helping hands. However, you will spend more than you bargained for if you take on all the additional expenses along the way, including fuel, insurance, food, and lodging. Here’s a solid side-by-side comparison of PODS services and rental trucks.
Portable Moving Containers
With PODS portable moving and storage containers, you'll be able to move to Montreal in a more flexible way. There are three container sizes to personalize your move, which PODS delivers to your driveway. The beauty of this option is you can pack at your own pace and load at your own pace. When you're done loading, give PODS a call, and they'll pick up the container and deliver it directly to your new Montreal home. The PODS Storage Centre is nearby if things change and you need the container stored for a while.

Cannabidiol has proved to have many health benefits. First of all, it does not cause alteration in consumers whatsoever. No known side effects. It also helps counteract the psychoactive effects of THC.
It has also shown great results on mental and brain health as CBD can affect principal cannabinoid receptors in the brain promoting a healthy state of mind. Not to mention that it’s legal in most countries. This kind of cannabinoid has incredible medicinal benefits and can improve overall wellness. It helps restore a healthy balance to the endocannabinoid system. According to Fenocan, a new trend on growing CBD has taken off by using feminized hemp seeds.
CBD has been a helping hand with many benefits on:
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Bone Structure
Relieves Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is defined as a feeling of pain that remains for 100 days a year. This pain can come from a variety of diseases and disorders including multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and even headaches. It’s well known as a pain reliever, and anti-inflammatory as well. As stated countless times, CBD oil can relieve pain and stiffness. It can even help those that derive from chronic diseases. This is all because CBD oil contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic powers.
Helps Sleep Disorders
Several studies show that taking cannabidiol before bed can help a person to relax and fall asleep. CBD is effective for insomnia because it reduces anxiety. This can be critical in reducing sleep difficulties and improving sleep quality.
Reduces Cancer Symptoms
The American Cancer Society says CBD has many benefits for cancer patients including treating neuropathic pain and reducing chemo-based nausea. According to recent studies, CBD seems to render certain cancerous cells more susceptible to chemotherapy agents, thereby bringing about cell death more quickly In addition to these benefits, it has also been shown to improve food intake for struggling HIV patients.
Helps with Depression
CBD provides antidepressant-like effects that can reduce the effects of depression and social anxiety disorders. Studies also show that it has the added benefit of lowering stress levels with daily use. It is considered as a natural anti-depressant and also used to treat sleeping disorders associated with chronic depression. It also works wonders against anxiety and stress. While the THC triggers anxiety in a part of people who use it, CBD on the other hand, seems to help reduce that particular problem. CBD oil can be used as a cure for post-traumatic stress disorder. This is all in case of a panic attack or anxiety. And it can also be used to fight obsessive-compulsive-disorder as well.
Lowers Cardiovascular Risk
A 2013 cannabis study showed an increase in HDL levels in subjects. The good thing here is that the increase of good cholesterol and decrease of the bad lowers the risk of heart diseases such as Coronary artery diseases and such.
Has Anti-Acne Effect and Treats Bacterial Imbalances
It helps to lower the production of sebum that leads to acne. Additional anti-stress and anti-inflammatory effects also aid reduction in the development of acne. An imbalance of bad bacteria in the body can cause health problems such as gum disease, heart disease, and intestinal issues. The oil of CBD is used for treating bacterial imbalances in the body and boosting the immune system.
Serves as an Addiction Therapy
This cannabinoid can reduce nicotine cravings and the need to smoke. Similar results have been seen for other substance abuse disorders. Against addictions: using CBD seems to help people quit different addictions, including smoking. It’s also clearly stated that the active ingredient works in a beneficial way on people who’re suffering disorders due to the use of substances such as those for anxiety, pain, insomnia and mood disorders. CBD could be used in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms, and there are preliminary results that prove that
Anti-Aging of Skin
The effect on the skin of CBD oil is also excellent for counteracting the signs of skin aging thanks to the antioxidants it contains. These substances are able to counteract the free radicals that attack the cells of our body making them age prematurely.
Moisturizer and Softener
The moisturizing and soothing properties of the skin of this oil are due to its high levels of essential fatty acids. And the hair is being tested for its ability to soften the hair simultaneously by acting positively on the follicles.
Neuropsychiatric Disorders and Epilepsy
CBD has shown benefits in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders and epilepsy. In fact, it almost looks like it could boost anti-convulsive properties – and it also has a low risk of side effects for epileptic people. But nevertheless, everything has to be explored further.

The documentation of African American “spaces and places” has been identified as a goal of the Southern Historical Collection, and to that end we have successfully partnered with the Historically Black Towns and Settlements Alliance (HBTSA). We are working with the leaders and community members of various towns to help them leverage their impressive histories to generate cultural tourism and a sense of pride among their citizens. The SHC curatorial team has made visits to these towns to examine archival materials for research and historic value, as well as making recommendations about preservation and potential community documentation initiatives.
In the second week of December 2014, I had the pleasure of visiting both Hobson City and Tuskegee, Alabama.
Hobson City, Alabama was founded in August 1899 by a group of African Americans when they were politically excluded from the neighboring town of Oxford, Alabama. This made Hobson City the first all Black municipality in Alabama. Through changes in society, industry, and the economy; the town has maintained itself for 115 years. My hosts shared with me the incredible significance of the Calhoun County Training School, the five local churches, and Holloways (a club that was a stop on the illustrious chitlin circuit). One of the highlights of the trip was the delicious barbeque ribs and coleslaw from Brad’s BBQ!
I thought that I knew a lot about Tuskegee; starting with the University, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the Syphilis Experiment. While all of these elements are commemorated in museums and archives, there is a history of a community in Tuskegee that is not very well known. In the 1923, a Veteran’s hospital, staffed by Black doctors and nurses, was established to care for Black soldiers who fought in World War 1. Dyann Robinson, formerly of the Dance Theater of Harlem is the artistic director of the Tuskegee Repertory Theater. Deborah Grey is the director of the Tuskegee Civil and Human Rights and Multicultural Center which tells the story of Tuskegee from the original indigenous inhabitants to the election of its first Black mayor, Mr. Johnny Ford, in 1972.
Both visits were incredibly informative and signal the beginning of a long series of partnerships between the Southern Historical Collection and diverse communities throughout the American South.

text: Fourteen-year-old Bent worries about her mother's steady deterioration from Huntington's chorea, a disease she may inherit. Meanwhile, Bent smokes marijuana in order to endure a quiet life of caring for her mother; then her father, remarried, suggests putting Bent's mother in a nursing home so that Bent can join his new family. Bent resists, but finally does move in with him. After her mother's death, believing she has witnessed her father's infidelity to his current wife, Bent travels with friends to Florida in an attempt to ""get away from it all."" But as she becomes reconciled to the changes in her life, she tries for a fresh start with her father. Crammed clumsily together here are Bent's giving up drags, her fear of developing Huntington's chorea, unresolved feelings about her parents' divorce, step-sibling difficulties, and more. If she were a sympathetic character, readers might cheer her on despite the contrived complications--but she seems shallow, self-centered, and as unconvincing as the book.

the following is a list of books i have read this past year and would recommended others to do as well. i should start reading the harry potter books; it’s hard to deny the impact those books have had. if you didn’t read too many books this year, you can make it a new years resolution! in no particular order:
wizard of the crow – ngugi wa’thiong’o
beautifully written political and social satire about the fictional republic of abruria, the story unfolds like a folk tale with unmatched clarity and resonance. it is an obersvation of our place on this earth and the love that will keep us together. hands down, my favorite book of the year.
the zoo story – edward albee
i was given this play as a gift from a friend and i always wondered if it was symbolic. like, was this given to me for a reason? oh by the way, the play ends with a man getting stabbed at the park. just like in my life!
the man who was thursday – g.k. chesterton
then who is thursday now?
shortcomings -adrian tomine
story about a cynical asian american guy who is forced to come to terms with his life through his rocky relationship with his girlfriend and his attraction to white women. poignant observations of racial/sexual relationships. amazing illustrations, best graphic novel of the year.
laika – nick abadzis
true story of the world’s first dog (and living being) to travel space. this story about the noble pup made me cry from beginning to end. it’s absolutely deliberate, but it got me. my eyes were sore from crying too much. have not cried that much in a long while, no joke. i am so lame.
watchmen – alan moore
what’s not to say about the watchmen. one of the most important graphic novels ever.
pictor’s metamorphoses: and other fantasies – hermann hesse
hey man, nobody said it would make sense. fantasy as life, life as fantasy, fantasy as allegory.
the invention of hugo cabret – brian selznick
it’s a pretty book, man. and since it’s 526 pages, people will think you are a monster of a reader. instant cool points, right? j.k. (rowling)
the pilgrim’s progress – john bunyan
still reading this one. it’s a christian allegory. my friend gave me a 1914 pressing of the book. very cool.
Earlier in the year I purchased a book called, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. It’s a 500 plus page picture book of sorts, with beautiful illustrations and inserts of old film stills. the story follows hugo cabret, orphan, clock keeper apprentice and thief, who’s secrets are eventually intertwined with the past life of a mysterious toy booth owner and his curious goddaughter. In essence, the story is a love letter to legendary film maker Georges Méliès but to find out how he fits in, you’ll just have to see for yourself.
admittedly, i found the first few chapters to be stressful due to unfortunate turns but by the time i put the book down, i was left with tenderness. very heartwarming and sweet. you can read the book in an hour but you will surely want to go back and look at the illustrations again. definitely a recommended read.
Georges Méliès’ “A Trip To the Moon” was one of the first movies ever and his use of special effects were years beyond his time. This particular film is featured in the book, and interestingly I had actually seen it not too long ago. I can’t remember how I would have ever come across the short film, but I was deeply inspired by the dreamlike visuals Méliès created. Even more amazing is the day we live in now where you can see the whole film on youtube. Check it out, it’s really something else.
