Homophobia has been around for a long time and in most cases is not a valid argument for the hate and fear people have towards homosexuals. This is a very important and relevant topic in today’s time. Many people claim that homophobia is a valid reason to hate gay people. In all reality, many times people who are homophobic just don’t understand gay people. If you look up homophobia in the dictionary, it would say something like fear of lesbians and gay men. This is somewhat true but very misleading. I believe it should say unreasonable or irrational fear, and while some include these thoughts, most do not.
This is a reflection of the overuse of the word, and the fact that most people feel their claims are valid. The reasons for homophobia are not usually valid and their effects can be everlasting and very hurtful, both emotionally and physically. Homophobia was first coined by psychologist George Weinberg in his book Society and the Healthy Homosexual (“Homophobia”). A year before this, the American Psychiatric Association voted to remove “Homosexuality” from the list of mental disorders. This was not a new concept, however. It was just given a name by Weinberg.

The word first appeared in an article in 1969 but it was used to refer to straight men’s fear that others might think they are gay (“Homophobia”). There are some very disturbing facts in regard to homosexuals and homophobia. Many gays and lesbians are the victim of anti-gay violence. However about 80% never report it for fear of being called a homosexual (National). Also 85% of teachers oppose integration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, or LGBT themes into their classes. Now homophobia is not only in schools. It is in the workplace, too. In a national survey, 191 employers were polled and the results were shocking.
Eighteen percent would fire, twenty-seven percent would refuse to hire, and twenty-six percent would refuse to promote any person they perceived to be lesbian, gay or bisexual (National). This is very interesting for me to learn. I think that this is stupid and shows peoples fears, and these fears are indeed irrational. There are organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, working on these issues. The ACLU is at the forefront of the LGBT rights and everything in relation to this. With more support, homosexual rights can become common practice in our society.
Now let’s move on to one of the most controversial issues dealing with homosexuals and their rights, marriage. Many people view homosexual marriage as wrong. They have many reasons for viewing it this way. The main reason is religion. Many feel that it is against God to be a homosexual. Not only this, but the individual beliefs that if two men or two women were to get married, it would be mocking the will of God. According to people who argue this, God intended for a man and a women to get married and have kids. If two men or two women got married, they would be unable to procreate, thus going against God’s will.
However, as stated in our class, not all heterosexual couples have children. So is this a valid reason? I do not believe so. Another reason given is that homosexual marriage will decrease the importance of family. Why? What does your importance of family have anything to do with other people? If you strongly value your family and consider them important I don’t see how two men or two women marrying will impact you at all. Many other homophobic heterosexuals feel that if too many same-sex marriages exist, it will degrade what we hold to be a “normal” family. People claim that this can be related to an alcoholic in the family.
This means people feel that a same-sex marriage would cause the same problems within the family, as that of an alcoholic in a heterosexual family. For example being shunned from the family, or not recognized as a member of the family. Another big argument would be one of psychological background. Many heterosexuals fear that if gay marriage is legalized, then they will see more publicly gay relationships and this may cause an unwanted reaction. As you will later see, fear that oneself is gay, is a strong relation to homophobic acts for many heterosexual men.
Some other arguments for homophobia are it’s not natural, it’s disgusting, it’s us versus them, inner fears of heterosexuals, and fear of rape. The weakest of these ideas is that it’s not natural. This is the weakest because homosexual acts are seen in other cultures and species. This can be seen in a movie called “For the Bible Tells Me So. ” In the segment dealing with this it states homosexual relationships are common in zebras, baboons, dolphins, sheep, buffalo, ducks, foxes, elephants, horses, gorillas, mosses, housecats, pigs, mice, rabbits and lions. This isn’t even the full list either. Many people find homosexual acts disgusting.
What exactly do they mean by this? If they mean gross to watch, then don’t watch it. Also, I am sure you could find other more disgusting things. Have they ever watched Fear Factor? The idea that it’s disgusting is seen as a very weak reason. Is there any way you can prove this? The “us versus them” idea is that if homosexual relations and acts become more predominate, then heterosexual ones will become obsolete and outdated (Bidstrup). This is ridiculous to think that both can not act within society. It is apparent they can, as there are places where gays and straights interact and nothing bad has come from it.
Another very strong argument for homophobic acts is the inner fear of heterosexual men. This is to say that many straight men fear that they themselves may be gay, and in order to suppress these feelings the only thing they can do is hate homosexuals. As Scott Bidstrup said they have this reaction “Hate and/or kill the Queer and you’re not like him, because you’ve distanced yourself from him. ” Do you remember the saying about “covering your butt”; this was originated from homophobic fears of rape. Many straight men fear that a gay man is going to rape him. This is the most ridiculous fear and reason for homophobia.
There are very few homosexual men that would actually want to have sex with a straight one. Why would a gay man go out of his way to make someone do something that wouldn’t be pleasurable for either person? It is just an inconceivable thought to have. It is very irrational; thus, I think the word irrational should be added to the definition. To wrap up I want to discuss the very unpleasant effects of homophobia. The effects can be both emotional and physical. The main emotional effect is depression. If you are constantly getting ridiculed, then you are going to fall into depression.
If you know you can’t be yourself and be accepted, then you become depressed. You are led to believe that there is no way to come out of this low point in your life and this can lead to suicidal thoughts. The LGBT community is four times more likely to commit suicide than the straight community (National). Also related is murder of homosexuals. The Matthew Shepard case is the most well known to both gays and straights alike and one that shocked the nation. Matthew Shepard was born on Dec 1, 1976. Twenty one years later, on October 7th Matthew was lured away with two guys claiming to be gay.
Once away the guys tied him to a fence and began to beat him and pistol whip him (“Funeral…”). They men left him there in freezing cold weather and he wasn’t found until eighteen hours later as a driver mistook him for a scarecrow. He was taken to the hospital and was put on life support because of severe trauma and fractures. He died on October 12, 1998. Even worse was the fact that while he was in the hospital on life support kids rode atop a homecoming float with a scarecrow resembling Matthews figure with a sign saying “I’m Gay” on it, and an obscene message on the back.
This is not the only murder or hate crime committed to or towards gays, a more recent one would be the murder of fifteen year old Lawrence King. He was shot on February 12, 2008 in school by a fellow classmate. The fourteen year old killed Lawrence by shooting him in the head twice with a handgun he brought to school. The physical effects of homophobia are on both homosexuals and heterosexuals. The obvious would be the harming of a gay person by himself or another, such as the case stated above. Homophobia has been around for a long time, and unfortunately, will probably be around for many more years to come.
This is the sad truth that gay activists are trying to fight. Gay rights are an issue that ranks among the top of current issues in the United States. Many homophobic feelings are unjustified and plain irrational. This is to say that there is nothing to fear about gay men. They are not going to take over the world, make you gay, or convert your children. The reasons for homophobia are not valid and their effects can be everlasting and very hurtful; socially, physically and emotionally. With proper education, homophobia could be eliminated altogether. Let’s hope that there is no future for homophobia.

Strong (DD-758) was laid down on 25 July 1943 by
Strong transited the Panama Canal on 11 January 1946 and arrived at New York on the 15th. After a period of upkeep and repairs, she operated along the northeast coast until rapid demobilization kept her at Boston from 29 April until 1 August. She put to sea again and operated with the fleet as far south as the Gulf of Mexico until she sailed into Charleston, S.C., for inactivation and berthing. The destroyer was placed in reserve, out of commission, on 9 May 1947 as a unit of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet.
Strong was placed in commission again on 14 May 1949 and held shakedown training in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, during September and October. Her home port was designated as Norfolk, Va., and she sailed from there with 2d. Fleet units for operations near the Arctic Circle. Fleet exercises Portrex and Carribex were held during March 1950 and, during June and July, Strong embarked midshipmen and reservists for a training cruise to Panama and Cuba. In late August, she sailed for the Mediterranean Sea, and her first deployment with the 6th Fleet which lasted until February 1951. Routine fleet duties followed until 15 May 1952 when she steamed from Norfolk with Destroyer Divisions (DesDiv) 21 and 262 for the Korean War Zone, via Panama, San Diego, Pearl Harbor, and Yokosuka.
Strong sailed from Yokosuka on 19 June for Korean waters and was attached to Task Force (TF) 77 which launched the first attacks against the hydroelectric plants on the Yalu River five days later. The destroyer was in Japan from 9 July to 13 September and returned to Korean waters where she operated until 9 October. During her tour in Korea, she conducted gun strikes up and down the east coast; served with the United Nations Blockade and Escort Group on the west coast; and was at Pusan, Songjin, and Wonsan.
On 9 October, Strong sailed to Yokosuka on her way back to Norfolk via Singapore, Ceylon, Bahrain, Aden, Suez, Naples, and Villefranche. She arrived at her home port on 12 December 1952. Strong operated along the east coast until early January 1954 when she stood out of Norfolk for another tour in the Far East and another world cruise which did not see her back in her home port until 10 August. She resumed her routine duties along the east coast until 13 August 1956 when she sailed for another four month deployment period with the 6th Fleet. The destroyer was deployed to the 6th Fleet again in 1957, 1958, and 1961. In 1958 she saved 13 Bahrenians in the Persian Gulf during a severe storm. In 1959, she participated in "Project Mercury" and recovered the "Big Joe" capsule off Puerto Rico.

On 1 May, she sailed for the east coast, via Okinawa, Japan, Midway, Hawaii, California, Mexico, and the Panama Canal, and arrived at Charleston on 4 August.
Strong sailed on 11 September to participate in NATO exercise Operation "Silver Tower" in the Norwegian Sea. After a visit to Gravesend, England, she returned to Charleston on 15 October 1968 and remained there until 9 January 1969 when she resumed routine peacetime training. On 12 November 1969, the destroyer was again deployed to the 6th Fleet for a six month tour and returned to her home port on 23 May 1970. Much of the remainder of the year was spent in port and she was again deployed to the 6th Fleet from 16 April to 16 October 1971. On 16 November, she was transferred to the Naval Reserve Force and became a unit of DesRon 34. Strong operated as a naval reserve training ship until September 1973 when she entered a standdown period at Charleston.

Article Source: Seaweed's Ships Histories 1-800-SEAWEED
The Captains of the Ship
"Only a seaman realizes to what great extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individual...her Commanding Officer. To a landsman, this concept is difficult to understand, and for us mariners, it may be hard to comprehend, but it is so.
A ship at sea is a different world unto herself. In consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the fleet units, the Navy must place great power, responsibility, and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command.
In each ship, there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one man who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfire, and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is THE SHIP."
This assignment is the most demanding and difficult in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His privileges in view of his obligations are almost ludicrously small; nevertheless, this is the spur which has given the Navy its great leaders.
It is a duty which most richly deserves the highest, time-honored title of the seafaring world..... CAPTAIN!"
THE LAST US NAVAL OFFICER TO
LEAVE THE USS STRONG WAS LT. CLEM SHEMANSKI

Cons: "When I called the night before to check into the flight our reservation had been cancelled and we did not know until we got to the airport Turkish Airlines counter in Mumbai very early in the morning that we could still fly. Never understood why our names had been removed for our return flight. Because we didn't have a boarding pass when arriving at the airport the security hesitated to allow us into the facility. Luckily we found our itinerary and they allowed us entry."

Pros: "It was spacious for being Economy."

Pros: "Some staff wer helpful"
Cons: "Mostly as a mother traveling with a stroller, they expected me to haul everything on my own. Stroller,car seat, child, two bags!

Cons: "The over all seat pitch was low and seemed very cramped for a long journey. Food was hit or miss. On two different legs of flight we had a good service from Ist to was but below average service from Bon to ist. Connection in ist airport was scary - too many flights arriving at one time, people lining up outside the airport mad literally pushing their way to get in. In today's tunultous time this seemed extremely unsafe as far as airport safety. I would not travel Turkish till they extend/ update ist airport which is supposed to happen in 2 years."

Then we landed 20 minuets later than schedule, but the pilot failed to recognize the delay, he announced the schedule arrival time rather than the actual time. Then the freaking airport is so bad, that I decided not to come back here anymore. The luggage were delayed for an hour and half and we asked the supervisor he said that’s usually what happened, and we have to wait, he didn’t even care to provide any explanation for why all this unnecessary delay."

This wasn’t the first time it’s happened on this flight, either! We were thirsty and no one offered us water. The flight attendants kept skipping my friend and I when they did come around, which was not often. We were extremely thirsty the entire time and when we finally were able to get up to use the bathroom and search for water, we were told to sit back down. We got tiny cups of water about three times on a 10.5 hour flight. Lastly, the entertainment selection was very small and limited."

Cons: "They seemed to run out of chicken as the dinner meal, when they got to my the flight to Cairo from NY they also ran out of chicken, the person next to me got the last one, the same thing happened to me on the way to NY, the person next to me got the last chicken, i was kind of upset but the other option of beef was still good."

Pros: "On time departure and no problems."
Pros: "They make us feel the tickets are discounted, and when you arrive to the airports for international flights which is normally allowed 2 luggage, they informed us we are allowed only one bag and charge for the second bage $125.00 also they told me that my carrying on is too big and charge me another $125.00 . I have had traveled with the same carry on many time but that's the new way of EGYPTAIR scams. Will not travel with them anymore..... They're the worst service, you will only see the cabin crew during the meal time , with almost 12 hrs flight you will see the crew only twice !!!!! The worst experience we ever have"
Pros: "I did not board the flight to Chicago reservation was wrong (operated by Egypt air ) both airlines denied me I bought another ticket from Lufthansa for$660. I spent two days in hotels.

I couldn't check in online and when I called to ask they said that's because I'm making changes (pet) that's why I can't do it and I should do it at airport.. I'm Cairo airport the check point is as soon as you get thru the main door.. Waited in line for check in only to find that all 4 tickets (me and 3 kids) were cancelled and that we had to go outside again to the reservation office (had to go thru check point again) to reissue the tickets. They didn't even appologize for their mistake and they blamed the travel agency.. Very unprofessional and irresponsible people."

However, near the end of my flight I went to the bathroom and noticed there were MANY open seats with more than a handful of people that had a whole row to themselves. I wonder where she got her information because what she shared with me was totally false and I am totally appaled. very old on flight - dress warm!"
Pros: "Just average flight, nothing so special"
Cons: "the flight was so overbooked that I had to stand in the queue for an hour for check-in, All the overhead compartments were full and I could not put a small bag in it, the crew even did not bother to help me with it. Ultimately I had to stow it beneath the seat. The seats were so cramped"

Pros: "The food was nice. Vegetarian and non veg options were good for all the passengers."
Cons: "Boarding process was one of the most unorganised and pitiful for passengers I have ever seen!! Baggage check in process was a mess and the crew could not handle it. There were multiple lines at baggage check in for some reason for economy itself. We were guided by crew to one of the lines. Then after half hour, they put our line behind another line that arrived after us! Mismanagement led is to wait for nearly 2 hours at baghage check in. Also, the person at kiosk failed to check me in for connecting flight from Abu Dhabi(I was marked for airport checkin, so web check in was not an option). So when I reached Abu Dhabi, I was told my name was not even on the list!! Moreover I had only half hour layover at Abu Dhabi due to delayed flight from Mumbai . One of the worst experiences ever as it was also our honeymoon!"
Pros: "Cleaniness , food , entertainment"
Cons: "Air hostesses, my daughter asked 3 times for something . They kept saying will give and eventually no manners to come and reply also ..

Cons: "The crew was quite unfriendly and refused to provide any additional snacks or drinks after 1st service. Very limited food menu and very little in quantity."
Pros: "Good entertainment options although the screen/controller seem outdated and unresponsive. I would suggest not shutting off the entertainment while on the ground or too early (shut off an hour before landing)"
Cons: "My biggest complaint would be that we waited on the plane for over an hour and a half in Mumbai for late passengers. This caused a ripple effect which made us miss our arrival spot and have to wait an additional 30 min on the plane once we landed. You should never make 400+ people sit on an airplane for 2 additional hours (for a 3 hour flight) because a few passengers did not plan well and were late. That logic was insane to me and incredibly frustrating. That is my only complaint that would actually make me think twice about flying Etihad again. The crew seemed annoyed anytime I'd ask for water. A more western food option would be nice rather than just 3 options of rice and curries. Also the food timing did not line up well (eating fish at 9am)."
Cons: "Touch genital no good food rude air hostess and staff"
Pros: "The service was spectacular to begin with. It was consistent, frequent and ultimately satisfying. It was a very comfortable ride with enough space for a broad guy like me.

Pros: "Flight seats and entertainment was good"
Cons: "Overbooking Confirmed flight and seats gets cancelled when you reach airport to board Airports and call center staff is rude, no response when my luggage was missing I will never fly with etihad again."
Pros: "Food and upkeep of aircraft"
Cons: "Your association with Aer Lingus"
Pros: "Aircraft fleet and airport is good. Good infrastructure."
Cons: "The cabin crew is not at all courteous. When you start travelling in US, you realize how different the crew's attitude is. When you want to say no to the customer, atleast make an effort to accommodate the needs of the customer first. Minor requests made by the passengers should be accommodated. You just rudely say No. Learn something from American customer service!!"

Cons: "Slow check in at Kathmandu"
Pros: "Decent entertainment system and choices."
Cons: "Poor quality headphones - jacks are often messed up make sure you have your own. Got food poisoning on Muscat to Paris flight - other than that the food tended to be quite bland. Need to give out more water on flight to combat dehydration as well. Stopping in Muscat's terminal was like a time warp back to a 1970s mall. Also no direct connection to terminal, planes park out on tarmac and take people on 1 km bus ride to connect to terminal. Legroom was pretty tight but not horrid Never thought I would be as happy to get back to Manila!"
Pros: "Quick boarding and disembarking. Polite crew members."
Cons: "One bathroom was out of order so there were often long waiting times. Nor were the bathroom engagement lights working so it appeared to be vacant when it was occupied. Food and announcements were too frequent for a late night flight - only 2 hours to sleep on a 6 hour overnight flight."
Pros: "Oman Business lounges good in Bkk also"
Cons: "Seats in business were ok but do not offer the position options that most airlines offer in Business."
Pros: "Business lounge & airport in Muscat efficient in operation"

Cons: "Food wasn't great, but can't complain about the meat or veggie option."
Pros: "The crew was good. snack was ok."

Cons: "All was fine"
Pros: "Nearly all staff very professional and trying to 'be the best'. Generous with drinks."
Cons: "Bizarre incident with FA over meal. I'm on left aisle of middle row of 3 seats. Another customer is on the other aisle. Middle seat empty. Both meal trolleys moving up aisles, ten seconds apart. FA leans over me and asks the man on the other aisle what he wants to eat and serves him. I'm busy putting netbook away so my tray table will be empty. FA 'forgets' to invite me to eat. This is an Arab airline???! In 49 years of air travel I have never seen such a thing. I sit there wondering what on earth is happening. Weeks later I'm still bewildered."
Cons: "I bought expensive souvenirs from Kathmandu duty free and they refused to me at boarding gate that it's heavy, after long explanation they took my bag and said that I'd collect it at Abu Dhabi airport but never put it on flight even. Supervisor was extremely unreasonable and was not willing to understand that weight issue doesn't apply on duty free shopping."
Pros: "Everything was awesome!"
Cons: "What airline in 2017 requires you to present your credit card if booked using CC at time of bording, then takes 20 minutes to verify this? Oman air does. In addition, they called me to tell me my flight time changed and so decided to push the flight back one day, so they rebooked me. Then at airport was told i missed my flight...completely maddening and had to throw a fit before they finally booked us on the flight we were told by phone we had yet didnt seem to register in their systems."
Cons: "Was bumped off my flight without notice, because my flight was delayed 30 minutes. Arrived at the airport before the gate closed to tell me I was on a flight 7 hours later. Oman air employees were incredibly rude and unwilling to help."
Pros: "Pretty much nothing."
Cons: "This is an international flight which didnt have an in seat entertainment. They didnt announce anything and this is the only airline where they serve the food without even checking if you want or not. It was a mid night flight and i was fast asleep after take off. They woke me up and just threw the food on the table and walked off. Another first of its kind is they serve solid food first and followed by drinks so even if you are thirsty, you have to wait. All juice will be served later. and the most uncomfortable old seats. Probably they use different flights for different sectors and to India, they consider every passenger as just "cattle" class and use the worst flight they have. But no other option. There are few direct flights and this is the only choice. So have to fly with them again unfortunately."
Pros: "-Muscat airport must have aero-bridge -the crew is apologetic to serve alcoholic beverages-sneaked in wine bottle 15 minutes before descent/touchdown; emirates etihad have no qualms openly and freely serving alcohol in international flights. -leg space is cramped. -did not announce baggage belt -did not inform ambient temperature and other weather details"
Cons: "The seat was atrocious"

Cons: "The entertainment console did not work on the flight out."
Pros: "I lost the Skymiles because of that !!!!!"
Pros: "The flight was uneventful like you like airline flights to be."
Cons: "At Oman ticket counter getting my boarding pass, ticket agent demanded to see my exit document in addition to my passport. As a US citizen I had read you can get a visa on arrival in Dubai with just your passport. Ticket agent was prepared to deny my passage on flight. Luckily I had my computer with me with my exit flight info on it which I showed to agent. In order to satisfy passport immigration when I got to Dubai I took a phone camera picture of my exit flight info. When I got to passport immigration desk in Dubai the first thing I did was show my phone camera picture of exit flight info. She said "We don't need that, we just need your passport" and I am thinking "Scam". Oman Airline would like for you to purchase additional on the spot airline ticket from them if you don't have one. As an airline in the travel business I would think that Oman Airline would make it a point to know what the rules of travel are."
Pros: "It's good"

Flatiron Deli is my favorite go-to lunch stop. The regular sandwiches and salads on the menu are delicious and the daily specials are very tempting. It's usually a popular place on pretty days, so be prepared to wait in line. The people are nice, the food is top notch and it's a unique place to grab lunch with your coworkers and friends.
My favorites are the turkey club, the bacon blue cheese potato salad, and the BLT salad (add cheese). They have the best bacon in town, hands down. I'm only sad that they stopped serving breakfast years ago.

Quebecers were generally respectful of the historic curfew that came into effect on Saturday, but police still handed hundreds of tickets to the few protesters and offenders across the province.
“Regardless of the measures, there are people who will oppose it. All in all, [les manifestants] were relatively marginal [samedi] », Underlines André Durocher, spokesperson for the Association of Quebec Police Directors.

According to a compilation made by The newspaper Sunday, the Quebec police forces handed over more than 300 tickets of at least $ 1,500 during the night from Saturday to Sunday.

Montreal police quickly put an end to a minor curfew protest on Saturday in front of Laurier Park.
The Sûreté du Québec, with more than 150 fines for non-compliance with the 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew, tops the list.
For their part, the Montreal police issued 84 tickets while those in Quebec City gave 31 on the first evening.
The increase in cases linked to “cheating” during the Holidays amply justifies the curfew and this more muscular approach, according to Roxane Borgès Da Silva, professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Montreal.
“Relying solely on the goodwill of the people was not enough. With the daily number of cases that we see these days, we cannot afford a growing trend and take the risk that there are still so many illegal gatherings, ”she said.
The government said it was satisfied with compliance with the new measure on Sunday.

“I want to thank you for your solidarity. We do it for our healthcare workers and to protect the lives of our vulnerable people, ”Public Security Minister Geneviève Guilbault wrote via Twitter.
For his part, Prime Minister François Legault praised the work of the police.
One thing is certain, the message of the government passed since the streets of the province were even more empty and quiet Sunday evening.
The police were still very present on the ground, in particular at the Longueil metro, to enforce the curfew.
On the North Shore of Montreal, The newspaper was checked twice in Blainville. In Lévis, our journalist was checked three times in the space of 40 minutes.
And a few minutes after 8 p.m., a citizen who was walking his dog did not hesitate to stop and call the police when he saw an employee of the Newspaper who had no animal.
In the deserted streets, only a few meal delivery cars circulate and wait waiting for an order.
For Marco Giroux, manager of Le Bureau de Poste restaurant in Quebec City, the evening was very quiet.
“I believe that people may not necessarily yet be aware that we are considered an essential service,” he says.
As for the gas stations, too, it was dead calm. Several had also decided to close earlier for reasons of profitability.

Tickets for curfew not respected discounts by the police on Saturday
Sûreté du Québec: 150
Montreal: 84 *
Quebec: 31 *
Thérèse-De Blainville: 12
Longueuil: About ten
* Of these findings, 17 were returned to Montreal and 20 to Quebec during anti-curfew demonstrations.

“The Day the Music Died,” a documentary about the hit song “American Pie,” begins airing on Paramount+ next week, but Salina residents can hear Don McLean perform the song live at the Stiefel Theater on Thursday.
The 1971 song and its iconic chorus, from which the documentary takes its name, references a plane crash on February 3, 1959, which killed musicians in the early days of rock and roll. They were Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and “The Big Bopper” JP Richardson.
McLean’s show, which begins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 14 at The Stiefel, is part of the singer’s “American Pie 50th Anniversary Tour,” commemorating the year the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 1972 .
The singer said he was excited to be back on tour, after taking time off due to the pandemic.
“After spending the past 18 months at home, I am thrilled to be back on the road with my band,” McLean said in a statement. “We’ll be performing all the songs from the ‘American Pie’ album as well as many other hits that fans will expect to hear.”
Some of the other expected hits are “Vincent (Starry Starry Night)”, “Castles in the Air”, “And I Love You So” and “Cryin'”.
“American Pie” has created a significant cultural impact and generated so much interest that the song was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2016. The registry is a list of recordings that are, according to the FAQ on the library website, “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”
In the documentary’s press release, Paramount+ said “The Day the Music Died: The Story of Don McLean’s ‘American Pie'”, which debuts on the platform on Tuesday, July 19, tells the story behind the song. of the artist himself and how the song became the icon it is to this day.
“McLean will, for the first time, powerfully reveal and share the secrets behind his iconic song,” Paramount+ said. “Furthermore, the documentary highlights cultural moments in America’s history that are as relevant today as they were in 1971, when the song was released. The film tells the stories of the people who have been part of this moment from the start and shows the perspective of a new generation of artists who are driven by the same values and ideas that inspired the song’s creation.”
Tickets for the show were still available on the Stiefel’s website Wednesday afternoon.

White blood cells (WBCs), or leukocytes, are the defensive frontline of the immune system. They are like valiant foot soldiers who selflessly protect their territory against all ‘invaders’ or foreign bodies, real or imagined. Knowing this information, you can imagine how important it is to keep your white blood cell count in normal range, and always replenished. Below you will learn of 2 foods that are great at making this happen, thereby boosting overall immunity.
WBCs are created in bone marrow, the spongy tissue at the center of large bones. Although five distinct types of WBC’s have been identified, the “first responders,” called the neutrophils, are the most abundant. In fact, “the lower the neutrophil count, the greater the risk of (and severity of) infection.”
What is a Normal White Blood Cell Count?
Two thousand years ago, the Greeks and Romans used silver containers to hold and protect perishable liquids against harmful organisms. Silver containers were used until the invention of refrigeration to protect food liquids — such as milk — from spoiling. Using silver in the medical setting came into practice about one hundred and fifty years ago as a means to protect against infection. It remained popular against harmful organisms until the advent of antibiotics.
What is Colloidal Silver?
Dietary shortages of crucial minerals like zinc may be keeping almost a third of the world’s people from optimizing their immune system. Research shows that adequate zinc intake reduces the severity and duration of illness caused by the common cold.
Experts say as many as two billion people around the world have diets deficient in zinc – and studies at Oregon State University and elsewhere are raising concerns about the health implications this holds for infectious disease, immune function, DNA damage and cancer. (more…)
Cranberries are an amazing berry and should be considered a super food. Research presented in just the last year alone on what this little fruit offers is astonishing. The benefits that cranberries offer are far more than previously understood. No longer should cranberries be only relegated to urinary tract infection (UTI) support, a garnish dish at the Thanksgiving dinner table or the high sugar cocktail juice that your grandmother drinks. Amazing health benefits are wrapped up in this little berry.
Cranberry, Candida and Biofilms
Scientific research is finally validating the ancient health and healing practice of fasting. The Telegraph recently reported that scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered that fasting “for as little as three days can regenerate the entire immune system,
even in the elderly, scientists have found in a breakthrough described as ‘remarkable.'”
Researchers suggest that the mechanism behind this phenomenon is that “starving the body kick-starts stem cells into producing new white blood cells, which fight off infection.” And fasting “‘flips a regenerative switch’ which prompts stem cells to create brand new white blood cells, essentially regenerating the entire immune system.” (more…)
The next time you experience a cold or the flu, remember this: rather than take conventional drugs to suppress uncomfortable symptoms, it’s better for your health to allow the cold or flu to run its course while you get plenty of physical and emotional rest.
Conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry would have you believe that there is no “cure” for the common cold, that you should protect yourself against the flu with a vaccine that is laden with toxic chemicals, and that during the midst of a cold or flu, it is favorable to ease your discomfort with a variety of medications that can suppress your symptoms. (more…)
So we start this whole thing off with cancer, since that’s the biggest “mystery” on Earth. Cancer, the eighth wonder of the world, or is it the ninth? Cancer — that “disease” (actually it’s a disorder) of the cells where certain dying or “chemicalized” cells mutate and multiply uncontrollably, then attack your good cells. Scientists all over the world cannot figure out a vaccine or medicine to cure this problem. Or can they?
Then there’s Alzheimer’s disease, again, not really a disease at all. It’s not contagious, and you don’t inherit it either, so forget about that big lie. Yes, it’s “genetic,” because your genes get screwed up, and oxygen can’t get to your brain. Can anyone say “aluminum and lead in food”? Scientists certainly can’t build a human brain, and they definitely can’t take it apart — to figure out what causes seniors to forget who their immediate family is, and not know how to take care of themselves anymore. There’s just no pharmaceutical cure for that. Dang it! After all, what’s the pill made from that makes you stop eating heavy metals? (more…)

text: Futuresport was a made-for-TV movie that was shown on the ABC television network back in October 1998. The movie may not be Rollerball, but I liked how the production company added extra footage to give the movie an R rating. The only drawback is that the movie fades out at intervals, but that's because it was on TV. Anyway, the movie is action-packed and is somewhat political. The political aspect is for fans only, but so are the special effects and the entire storyline. The best way to get rid of that made-for-TV look is to watch it on DVD in widescreen format. However, the widescreen look is matted, but the DVD comes in both widescreen and fullscreen formats. Just check it out!

Green Bay tavern operators, faced with an increase in the amount they must pay for whiskey and beer because of new excise taxes which take effect Nov. 1, are divided into two schools of thought about whether to increase prices the customer must pay, a survey of operators indicated.
A rough division includes those who can see no reason for keeping prices at their former levels and others who are going to play “follow the leader” and do whatever the majority does. The probable outcome will be that Green Bay tavern customers will have to pay more for whiskey and beer.
The Office of Price Administration disclosed methods by which distillers, wholesalers and retailers may pass on to the customer increased federal excise taxes provided in the recently enacted tax bill.

One of Green Bay’s coal docks is one of the six largest coal docks in the world. Not in Wisconsin, nor the Middle West nor even the North American continent, but all the world, there are but five coal docks that are as big and handle as much tonnage as the C. Reiss Coal Company at Green Bay.
Three quarters of a million tons of coal comes into Green Bay annually to be piled for a time on this dock, and then sent out from Green Bay to hundreds of cities in several states.
The C. Reiss Coal Company came to Green Bay in 1904. The Green Bay docks are the largest and most modern of the company’s several.

Magnolia has dropped a new trailer for The Double. Richard Ayoade directed and co-wrote with Avi Korine and Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska star in the adaptation of Dostoevsky’s doppelganger tale. Eisenberg plays Simon, a timid, isolated man who’s overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and ignored by the woman of his dreams (Wasikowska). The arrival of a new co-worker, James (also played by Eisenberg), serves to upset the balance. Wallace Shawn, Yasmin Paige, Noah Taylor, James Fox, Cathy Moriarty, Chris O’Dowd, Sally Hawkins, Craig Roberts and Paddy Considine also star. The Double premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Magnolia releases the pic in theaters and iTunes/OnDemand on May 9.

Why do we like this?
Mellow Fellow and Ruru's single "It's Okay To Dream" is exactly what you think it is, a softly spoken dream pop gem.
The instrumentals give off a psych-centric feel while melding twinkling synths, an easy listening sax, and jazz-focused drums. When combined the composition never ceases to impress, weaving together a genre-bending sound that has mass appeal. The vocals are the icing on the top of this tasteful track, forming beautiful harmonies and contrasts.
