United States Passenger Act of 1882
Appendix A: The United States Passenger Act of 1882
The Immigration Act of 1882 was a United States federal law signed by President Chester A. Arthur on August 3, 1882. The passenger act, before referred to, affords protection to passengers against overcrowding, makes it obligatory to give them proper and sufficient food, air space, and in many respects promotes their comfort and safety.
[Public—No. 193] An Act to Regulate the Carriage of Passengers by Sea.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That it shall not be lawful for the master of a steamship or other vessel whereon emigrant passengers, or passengers other than cabin passengers, have been taken at any port or place in a foreign country or dominion (ports and places in foreign territory contiguous to the United States excepted) to bring such vessel and passengers to any port or place in the United States unless the compartments, spaces, and accommodations hereinafter mentioned have been provided, allotted, maintained, and used for and by such passengers during the entire voyage; that is to say, in a steamship, the compartments or spaces, unobstructed by cargo, stores, or goods, shall be of sufficient dimensions to allow for each and every passenger carried or brought therein one hundred cubic feet, if the compartment or space is located on the main deck or on the first deck next below the main deck of the vessel, and one hundred and twenty cubic feet for each passenger carried or brought therein if the compartment or space is located on the second deck below the main deck of the vessel; and it shall not be lawful to carry or bring passengers on any deck other than the decks above mentioned.

Irish Film Tour: Rosie to Manchester, Leeds & Birmingham
Monday, March 11, 2019 – Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Award-winning Irish Director Paddy Breathnach to tour across UK with Rosie and Irish Film London
Nation-wide tour coincides with the film's UK release
Following the great success of its previous Irish film tours, Irish Film London is on the road again, partnering with independent cinemas and Irish organisations in Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham. The tour kicks off on Monday 11th March at HOME in Manchester, the city's centre for international contemporary art, theatre and film, reaching Leeds's favourite arthouse cinema, the Hyde Park Picture House on Tuesday 12th and Birmingham's finest independent cinema, The Mockingbird on Wednesday 13th March.
Written by the acclaimed Roddy Doyle, Rosie will tour each city with its award-winning director Paddy Breathnach, who is best known for films I Went Down and Viva, who will take part in a Q&A after the screenings.
Rosie enjoyed massive critical acclaim and sold-out screenings in Ireland, after its premiere last September at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was subsequently named as one of The Hollywood Reporter Critics' 25 favourite films from the autumn festivals and went on to win two awards at the 2018 Irish Film London Awards: Best Feature Film, and the Ros Hubbard Award for Acting following Sarah Greene's show-stopping performance as the lead, Rosie.
The film tells the story of a mother trying to protect her family after their landlord sells their rented home and they become homeless. Finding a room, even for a night, is a tough job and finding somewhere permanent to live is even harder. Within the confines of their car, Rosie (Sarah Greene of Nobel and Rebellion), and John Paul (Moe Dunford of Vikings and Handsome Devil) strive to maintain a loving home while shielding their young family from the reality of the situation around them. Rosie examines how even in times of crises, the love and strength of a family can endure.
Each screening is run in partnership with local Irish organisations, including the Irish World Heritage Centre, the Irish Arts Foundation, Leeds Irish Health and Homes and the Birmingham Irish Association.
Head of Culture at the Irish World Heritage Centre Dr. Julie Mullaney said
"We are delighted to collaborate with Irish Film London in bringing a timely and critically important film like Rosie to wider public view. The homelessness crisis in Ireland strikes a big chord in Manchester, wrestling with its own very visible homelessness crisis and Rosie is sure to attract a highly engaged audience."
Director of Irish Arts Foundation Des Hurley said
"We are delighted to join Irish Film London for this event, particularly as it falls within our Irish History Month. Throughout March 2019, we set out to introduce new audiences to the vibrancy of Irish arts, heritage, culture and history. This film is a beautifully presented, thought provoking portrait of modern Ireland, and an excellent example of the finest cinema that Ireland has to offer."
Birmingham Irish Association's Culture and Heritage Project Officer Peter Connolly said
"It's great to work with Irish Film London again, and we couldn't be happier to do so on this particular film. We were greatly bolstered by the recent encouragement from our President Michael D. Higgins, who praised our work with homeless shelter Tabor House, and we look forward to joining IFL in bringing such an important and topical film to our community."
Commenting on the upcoming release, the film's director Breathnach said
"I'm thrilled that UK audiences will have the opportunity to view Rosie on the big screen. We had some fantastic screenings at the BFI London Film Festival last year and are looking forward to bringing the film back to the UK this March."
Irish Film London Founder Kelly O'Connor said
"It's been a pleasure to work with Element Pictures and all our regional partners on getting this tour in motion. Our ultimate goal is to build the awareness of Irish film among audiences here in the UK, while promoting the work of the Irish community and cultural organisations like Leeds Irish Health and Homes or the Birmingham Irish Association. Paddy is such a generous and modest character, despite his exceptional talents, and I can't wait for our audiences across the UK to meet him."
Manchester: Monday 11th March, 8.35pm at HOME, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester M15 4FN. Tickets
Leeds: Tuesday 12th March, 6pm at Hyde Park Picture House, 73 Brudenell Rd, Leeds, LS6 1JD. Tickets
Birmingham: Wednesday 13th March, 7.15pm at Mockingbird Cinema, The Custard Factory, Gibb Street, Digbeth, Birmingham B9 4AA. Tickets

A temporary 44-bed shelter that had been set up in The Stage building in downtown Mission is now closing. (Kevin Mills/Mission Record)
Temporary homeless shelter closes at The Stage in Mission
Mission Community Services' main shelter still open on Logan Avenue
Vikki Hopes
The 44-bed temporary homeless shelter that has been operating out of The Stage building in downtown Mission is closing after tonight (Tuesday, June 30).
Michelle Puffer, executive director of Mission Community Services Society (MCSS), said BC Housing is working on securing alternate space for those who can't be accommodated at MCSS's existing shelter, The Haven, on Logan Avenue.
Puffer said the temporary shelter has to close because the lease is now up on The Stage.
MCSS runs an extreme-weather shelter every year, which normally closes on March 31. This year's shelter was being operated out of the Elks Hall.
RELATED: Temporary 44-bed shelter created in downtown Mission
COVID-19 promoted BC Housing to ask MSCC if it could continue to run the temporary shelter to get people out of camps where they would be more susceptible to infecting each other.
But with the Elks Hall no longer available, a new space had to be found. The Stage – located on First Avenue – was made available after the building was modified to pass fire codes and allow for 44 mats to be located at safe distance from one another.
However, the move prompted some concerns from the Downtown Business Association about the possible impact on businesses in the area and worries that the shelter would be running beyond the June 30th timeline that was given.
Meanwhile, the MCSS food centre has been relocated to the former True Art Dance Academy next door to The Haven.
Puffer said the move is a win-win for both programs.
"The food centre will be able to operate in a well-lit and organized space, while freeing up nearly 3,000 square feet of ground floor, accessible space at Haven for new shelter beds that follow COVID-19 guidelines," she said.

Underneath the arches
There is some evidence that Shobdon was a pre-Roman settlement. It is thought that a Roman road ran from the south west to join the Roman road to Leintwardine; there is a reference in the Domesday Book. In the 18th century, when the Bateman family built Shobdon Court, it became an estate village, with the majority of the population employed by the estate.

These were once part of the chancel of the Norman church that was replaced in the mid 18th century, by the present church. The Arches originally formed the chancel arch and two doorways. The sculptures that are of great national interest were made by masons of the Herefordshire School of Romanesque Architecture. The Norman church was erected at the expense of Oliver de Merlimond, a steward of the Mortimers, who was awarded the manor at Shobdon by them. It is said that this was the first building, in Herefordshire decorated by the Herefordshire School. More examples of their work can be seen at Kilpeck and Eardisley churches. About 15 yards to the left of The Arches follow the path through the woods to the lane; turn left to walk along for about quarter mile, passing Uphampton House on the right. Take the lane, on the right, opposite The Parks, that leads towards Shobdon Hill.
2 Just before the Shobdon Forest Research Field Station, cross the stile on the left and follow the field edge keeping the woods of the field station on the right.
About two thirds along the field, cross the stile at the end of the fence and walk along the track. Almost immediately, turn up the track on the right, to begin walking up Shobdon Hill. As you ascend, you pass a great variety of trees and the views open up to the west and the south.
3 At the top of the hill go left to walk along the crest. Here you can see the reasons why the hill presents such a jagged profile from a distance. Many of the trees have been felled. On the right, you look down into the steep valley of the River Lugg, and the tree- covered hills to the north.
4 At the end of the ridge, bear right, keeping the wire fence on your left, to follow the well-marked track going down hill. After about 150 yards look out for the small path on the left, that leads up to a stile that you cross.
5 This path now contours round the hillside, with a steep, wooded slope on the right. You have views down to the village of Byton. Continue on round, on this path to the sigh post. Go sharp left up to the stile, and then follow along by the side of the hedge and woodland to the gate and stile at the end of the field. Keeping the barn on your left go across to the stile, and walk up the field alongside the fence, and then down to the stile, into the wood. As you emerge from the wood, cross the next stile and walk across, and down the field to the gate. Walk on, keeping the fence on your right, to the next gate, with the fence and hedge, still on the right, to a grass track leading down to the right which you take down to the gate, to walk down the well-defined track, keeping the farm on the left. Below and slightly to the left you can see Shobdon Airfield. Glider crews trained here in the Second World War for the D Day landings and for Arnhem. It has a busy glider and aero club.
6 Cross the road at the bottom of the track, to the gate opposite. Slant left across the field to the stile, and continue on the cleared path through the crops, slanting to the left of the electricity pole, to the stile at the left hand corner of the field. Cross left over the corner of the next field and follow the fence down to the dip and the stile.
There is a farm over to the right. Turn sharp left after crossing the stile and walk beside the fence to the stile.
7 You are now going to cross an area that was glaciated during the last Ice Age and this has left a legacy. There are a number of small lakes and ponds and low hillocks. These are drumlins that are composed of moraine debris. The ponds are kettle holes. This is a dampish area to walk through. To the right, hidden by the trees is Pearl Lake, one of the largest areas of open water in Herefordshire. Follow the fence, crossing the stiles, and winding your way through the gorse bushes to the sloping area where some horse lanes have been marked off. Walk straight over to the stile and walk along the top of the field, then bear left through the gap, at the copse, to continue walking with the trees on the right, to the woods ahead. Cross the track that comes down from your left, to enter the woods, at first on a small grass track that very soon opens up to a well defined path up through the wood. After crossing the stile, on the right, follow the track up left. The Motte, of what had once been Shobdon Castle is to your right. There are some very large oak trees growing round the edge. Go through the gate and right to the car park.
8 Before leaving, go down right from the car park to the church. Built in the 18th century, it is built in the style known as Strawberry Hill Gothic. According to Pevsner the interior is delightful and ought to be kept in a state of high finish. A visit makes an interesting end to the walk.

Brown Introduces Legislation to Empower Workers in the Face of Increased Automation
Brown's Bill Ensures Workers Receive Advanced Notice, Increased Training when Companies Decide to Adopt New Technology; Brown Met with Local Ohioans During Statewide Tour to Discuss His Legislation, Ways to Support Workers as Companies Turn to Automation
WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) introduced legislation to provide critical resources to workers when companies decide to adopt new technology that will affect their jobs. Last week, Brown wrapped up a statewide tour with stops in Akron, Lima, Mansfield, St. Clairsville, Youngstown and Toledo to talk to Ohioans across the state about his bill and ways to support workers in the face of increased automation.
"No matter how technology changes, Ohio workers will always be our greatest resource," said Brown. "But right now, too many workers are left behind when companies decide to adopt new technology. We must work to ensure that workers aren't treated as a cost to be minimized but rather treated with the dignity they've earned to have an equal say in how best to implement new technology in the workplace."
Brown was joined on a conference call today by Tim Burga, President of the Ohio AFL-CIO, to discuss Brown's bill and the importance of empowering Ohio workers.
"Ohio workers are the best in the world at what they do. Senator Brown recognizes the ability of Ohio's workforce to meet any challenge and his bill requires companies to do the same. Workers drive the success of our economy, and with a seat at the table, they will look out for the interests of working families rather than the interests of Wall Street that continue to leave workers and families behind," said President Burga.
Brown's Workers' Right to Training Act will benefit workers by requiring companies to provide advance notice of any technology changes that may affect workers' jobs and provide training to these workers in advance of adopting the new technology.
Specifically, Brown's bill would:
Require companies to provide 180 days advanced notice to workers when new technology will change employment positions and provide 270 days advanced notice if jobs will be eliminated. Employers must bargain directly with employees on how best to implement new technology.
Require employers to pay for and provide on-the-job training to any employees who will be affected by the introduction of new technology. Companies must either provide training to employees whose jobs will change as a result of new technology or to employees who will lose their job to help these workers obtain a different position at a similar company.
Require employers to provide six-month severance to all workers who lose their jobs as a result of new technology.
By mandating employers consult and compensate employees whose jobs are changed or lost due to technology, the Workers' Right to Training Act will ensure the adoption of technology in the workplace will be done in a just way for workers. By helping workers affected by technology to receive the training they need, the bill will also help to ensure the U.S. workforce remains high-skilled and capable of competing in a global economy.
Read what Ohio media outlets are saying about Brown's bill:
Ironton Tribune: Focus on Workers' Interests (9/7/2019)
"While companies should have the right to adapt when the economy demands it, the human costs of these changes should never be taken lightly when business leaders make such calculations.
"One person's idea of savings can mean the livelihood of a family.
"We are glad that Brown is starting a discussion with this legislation to get these issues addresses so that workers are not left behind."
Toledo Blade: Automation Puts Toledo Jobs at Risk, but Sherrod Brown Has a Plan to Help Workers (9/6/2019)
"Like most federal lawmakers, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D, Ohio) has spent his summer recess crisscrossing his home state, pitching a very on-brand piece of legislation for a senator who frequently evokes the "dignity of work" — a bill designed to mitigate the impact of increasing automation in manufacturing.
"In Toledo, he found a receptive audience well attuned to the threat posed by robots replacing workers who have spent generations building things.
'"There was a report not too long ago that ranked Toledo as a city in the country most susceptible and most in danger to the changes that automation brings, so it's a concern for our community, and it's a concern borne by our proud 180-year history as a city that's not afraid of hard work," Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said Friday, introducing Mr. Brown at the UAW Local 12 Hall."
Warren Tribune Chronicle: Sen. Brown Touts Workers Legislation (9/6/2019)
"Bill Padisak, president of the Mahoning Trumbull AFL-CIO and a roundtable participant, said, "Thousands and thousands of workers have lost jobs through automation. This bill is a great idea. It will help so many people who have lost jobs."
"Brown said many companies "see labor as just another cost. As they develop new technologies, we want to make sure that workers are taken into account."'
Lima News: Brown Holds Automation Roundtable (8/30/19)
"Anticipating widespread disruption from autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies that could eliminate thousands of jobs, US. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is introducing legislation that would require companies to warn and retrain workers whose jobs are changed or lost by new technologies."
WFMD Mansfield: Senator Sherrod Brown Hosts Roundtable in Mansfield (9/3/2019)
"Brown was joined at the roundtable by local labor unions and worker advocates, including Norm Shoemaker, President of the Mid Ohio Area Labor council. Norm said, "Mid Ohio Area Labor Council supports Senator Sherrod Brown and is honored to sit down along with local labor leaders and discuss Senator Brown's new legislation to protect employees' jobs. Advancement in technology helps improve working conditions and efficiency, this is very important to the workforce, so is retaining employment."'
The Times Leader: Brown: Retrain workers for automated jobs (9/5/2019)
"During the meeting, several people pointed out examples such as drones used instead of line workers to inspect power lines and transformers, driverless vehicles, and fewer steelworkers required to make steel. Others noted many workers cannot afford to seek additional schooling or training while maintaining their jobs.
"Many shared personal stories prior to the meeting.
'"We know firsthand. I was employed in the utility industry for 38 years. We know the challenges technology brings, whether it's good or bad," Ed Good, representing the Upper Ohio Valley Central Labor Council, said. He added while there are many benefits to technological advancement, there is often a human cost, and he commended any assistance for those who have been adversely impacted."

Prep football: Parkway rolls past Captain Shreve
Things didn't start well for the Parkway Panthers in their District 1-5A game against Captain Shreve on Thursday night at Preston Crownover Stadium.
The Gators recovered an onsides kick on the opening kickoff. On Parkway's first possession, the Panthers fumbled deep in their own territory.
But the Parkway defense did its job on both occasions and the Panthers offense got cranked up. The result was a 47-10 victory.
Parkway, ranked No. 7 in the Class 5A poll, improved to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in District 1-5A. Shreve dropped to 1-5 and 0-3.
Parkway quarterback Keondre Wudtee completed 16 of 26 passes for 293 yards and three touchdowns. The Panthers amassed 543 total yards.
Terrace Marshall caught two touchdown passes covering 19 and 13 yards. He finished with four catches for 87 yards. CJ Morgan scored on a 1-yard run and also caught a 10-yard TD pass.
Robert McKnight led Parkway on the ground with 72 yards on seven carries. He scored on a 16-yard run.
Morgan rushed for 46 yards on six carries and caught five passes for 65 yards. He had a 27-yard run and a 36-yard reception.
Deonte Hawkins made some big plays, catching three passes for 100 yards. Kendall Brown's 1-yard run and Harrison Hopkins' PAT gave Parkway a 27-3 halftime lead. EJ Williams scored the Panthers' final touchdown on a 4-yard run.
Senior linebacker Ryan Black led the Panthers with 11 tackles. Semaj Tarver had seven. Derious Bradford and Kyler Marrus had six each.

Savage Love: Hard Work
By Dan Savage
I'm a 24-year-old gay male with few resources and no "marketable" skills. I have made a lot of bad choices and now I struggle to make ends meet in a crappy dead-end job, living paycheck to paycheck in an expensive East Coast city. Recently, someone on Grindr offered me $3,000 to have sex with him. He is homely and nearly three times my age, but he seems kind and respectful. I could really use that money. I have no moral opposition to prostitution, but the few friends I've spoken to were horrified. Part of me agrees and thinks this is a really bad idea and I'll regret it. But there's another part of me that figures, hey, it's just sex—and I've done more humiliating things for a lot less money. It makes me sad to think the only way I can make money is prostituting myself, because my looks aren't going to last forever. And let's face it: Prostitution is an ugly and messy business, and it wouldn't impress a potential future employer.
Stressed Over Taking Elderly Man's Payment To Eat Dick
I shared your letter with Dr. Eric Sprankle, an assistant professor of psychology at Minnesota State University and a licensed clinical psychologist. "This young man is distressed that he may have to resort to 'prostituting himself,' which suggests he, like most people, views sex work as the selling of one's body or the selling of oneself," said Dr. Sprankle, who tweets about sexual health, the rights of sex workers, and secularism @DrSprankle.
But you wouldn't be selling yourself or your body, SOTEMPTED, you would be selling access to your body—temporary access—and whatever particular kind of sex you consented to have with this man in exchange for his money.
"Sex work is the sale of a service," said Dr. Sprankle. "The service may involve specific body parts that aren't typically involved in most industries, but it is unequivocally a service labor industry. Just as massage therapists aren't selling their hands or themselves when working out the kinks of some wealthy older client, sex workers are merely selling physical and emotional labor."
Massage therapists who haaaaate seeing their occupation referenced in conversations about sex work—all those hardworking, never-jerking massage therapists—might wanna check their privilege, as all the cool kids on campus are saying these days.
"Massage therapists have the privilege of not worrying about being shamed and shunned by friends," said Dr. Sprankle, "and not worrying about being arrested for violating archaic laws." You will have to worry about shame, stigma, and arrest if you decide to go ahead with this, SOTEMPTED.
"He will have to be selective about whom he shares his work experiences with and may have to keep it a lifelong secret from family and coworkers," said Dr. Sprankle. "This could feel isolating and inauthentic. And while I am not aware of any empirical evidence to suggest men who enter sex work in this manner later regret their decision, this young man's friends have already given him a glimpse of the unfortunate double standard social stigma of pursuing this work."
Because I'm a full-service sex-advice professional, SOTEMPTED, I also shared your letter with a couple of guys who've actually done sex work—one a bona fide sex worker, the other a sexual adventurer.
"I was struck by the words SOTEMPTED used to describe sex work: ugly, messy, humiliating," said Mike Crawford, a sex worker, sex-workers-rights activist, and self-identified "cashsexual" who tweets @BringMeTheAx. "For many of us, it's actually nothing like that. When you strip away the moralizing and misinformation, sex work is simply a job that provides a valuable service to your clients. Humiliation or mess can be involved—if that's what gets them off—but there is absolutely nothing inherently ugly or degrading about the work itself."
What about regrets?
"It's true that he could wind up regretting doing the paid-sex thing," said Crawford. "Then again, there's a chance of regret in almost any hookup. Lots of people who didn't get paid for sex wind up having post-fuck regrets. I'd also encourage him to consider the possibility that he might look back and regret not taking the plunge. I've met plenty of sex workers over the years who wish they had started sooner."
"I don't regret it," said Philip (not his real name), a reader who sent me a question about wanting to experience getting paid for sex and later took the plunge. "I felt like I was in the power position. And in the moment, it wasn't distressing. Just be sure to negotiate everything in advance—what's on the table and what's not—and be very clear about expectations and limits."
Philip, who is bisexual, wound up being paid for sex by two guys. Both were older, both were more nervous than he was, and neither were lookers.
"But you don't really look," said Philip. "You close your eyes, you detach yourself from yourself—it is like meta-sex, like watching yourself having sex."
You may find detaching from yourself in that way to be emotionally unpleasant or even exhausting, SOTEMPTED, but not everyone does. If your first experience goes well and you decide to see this particular guy again or start doing sex work regularly, pay close attention to your emotions and your health. If you don't enjoy the actual work of sex work, or if you find it emotionally unpleasant or exhausting, stop doing sex work.
It has to be said that there are plenty of people out there who regret doing sex work—their stories aren't hard to find, as activists who want sex work to remain illegal are constantly promoting them. But feelings of regret aren't unique to sex work, and people who do regret doing sex work often cite the consequences of its illegality (police harassment, criminal record) as chief among their regrets.
One last piece of advice from Mike Crawford: "There is a pretty glaring red flag here: $3,000 is a really, really steep price for a single date. I'm not implying that SOTEMPTED isn't worth it, but the old 'if it sounds too good to be true' adage definitely applies in sex work. Should he decide to do this, he needs to screen carefully before agreeing to meet in person. The safety resources on the Sex Workers Outreach Project website (swopusa.org) are a great place for him to learn how to do just that."
I'm a straight twentysomething woman. I recently gave my partner a blowjob. He was enjoying it, obviously, and then he said, "I'm feeling brave. I want you to finger me." I have never fingered a man before, and he has never suggested that he might be into that, so I was caught off guard. I responded, "But we don't have lube!" He didn't say anything, and I finished him off without fingering him. He hasn't brought it up since. He is a manly man and conservative. I want him to be able to experience that if it's something he wants to experience, but I don't know what to say!
2 Prod Or Not 2 Prod
You don't have to say anything. Just buy a little bottle of lube—not a full-size bottle (most of those look like giant cocks, and we don't want to scare this manly man to death)—and set it on the nightstand. When he notices it, 2PON2P, smile and say, "That's for the next time you're feeling brave."

Angola to start building Luanda light rail in 2022

Africa's megacities are set back by a lack of modern infrastructure. From Lagos to Kinshasa, Luanda to Abidjan, the demand for bigger roads, metros, bus systems, and bridges far outweighs the investment.
The United Nations recommends that by 2030 countries implement solutions for sustainable urban growth whose mobility is more environmentally friendly.
To achieve this goal, Angola intends to launch a surface metro for its capital, Luanda.
"[This is] a project of great contribution, to ensure, exactly, that both communities and cities healthier, and also, from the point of view of infrastructure, to bring innovation to our city by solving a major difficulty that is urban mobility," said transport minister Ricardo de Abreu in Luanda.
German transportation company Siemens Mobility will build the light rail under a Public-Private Partnership.
It is estimated to cover a distance of 149 km at a cost of around 3.5 billion dollars.
Luanda, the capital of oil-rich Angola houses 8 million people. The figure is expected to surge to 12 million people by 2030.
The German government has pledged to help Siemens secure financing for the project.
Luanda is one of Africa's biggest cities. And traffic gridlocks are common due to a lack of a modern public transportation system.

Ten Psychedelic Cannabis Strains
Marijuana Sales Broke $2 Billion for 2020 by November
Ten Halloween Movies and Horror Flicks Stoners Would Love
Herbert Fuego
| Holidays |
Herbert Fuego | October 17, 2019 | 11:44am
Young Frankenstein is a Mel Brooks and Halloween classic.
Cannabis and Halloween go together like peanut butter and jelly...as long as you're consuming them from a couch. Weed is great for watching a horror movie and gorging on snacks, but I don't need a joint before walking through a haunted house or taking a Ouija board to a graveyard.
I'd much rather connect with cannabis and the children of the night through my TV. Halloween has to be the number-one holiday in terms of movies, with a heavyweight mix of horror, seasonal and humor sensibilities. And all of that animation, nostalgia and cheesiness gets even better with cannabis.
Before the Pumpkin King arrives, here are ten Halloween movies and horror flicks made even better by the plant.
Ghostly Ganja: Ten Weed Strains for Halloween Lovers
How to Make Majoun, Modern Civilization's Oldest Edible
Ask a Stoner: Getting High for the Movies
Diving into the worlds created by Tim Burton's films is fun for anyone using cannabis (and a number of other substances), and Nightmare Before Christmas has enough trippy animation to enjoy twice a year (at least). The beauty of the movie is that you can watch it both on Halloween and Christmas, and its songs, storyline and animation make for a great watch regardless of the nostalgia factor. Nightmare is a movie more than worthy of handing down to future generations, but enjoy this one at least once this fall when the kids are in bed and the bong is out. Just try not to get "This is Halloween" stuck in your head after a bowl.
Viewers today can't seem to sit still for more than a few minutes, so most black-and-white movies might not have lasting appeal if you weren't burnt off a couple of bong hits of Kosher Kush. While Mel Brooks's classic horror spoof doesn't need the reefer to be hilarious, with classic performances from Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle and Cloris Leachman, Feldman's bug eyes are even funnier after a joint, and the '30s-style sets and sound effects seem older and dustier (in a good way). Some of us need a good laugh in between all the scares.
The Shining is already creepy as shit — we totally get that. But imagine having your mind racing on Ghost Train Haze as you watch those goddamn twins in the hallway or that furry fucker scene upstairs with the bear costume. Add in the fact that the movie is based on a book inspired by the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, has a documentary about its Stanley Kubrick weirdness and has a sequel coming out soon, and you have yourself a good old-fashioned stoner rabbit hole to dive into.
If you want to watch the newer one or its shitbag of sequels, fine. But the original 1974 version is plenty creepy enough. Take a couple of rips, and those cannibalistic, backwoods antics will seem scarier on grainy '70s film than the high definition we get today. The movie's behind-the-scenes horror stories have become somewhat of a legend, too, and another late-night rabbit hole.
Another one that'll creep you to the core, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is almost 100 years old — and that's why the film is so scary. Or funny, if you have enough people to watch it with. Nosferatu is great for a group session, because it's a silent film, so you can stay chatty while passing the joint around. If you do decide to keep quiet and turn off the lights, however, that smoke-filled room will get scary as fast as you see what Count Orlok is up to.
Trick r' Treat
Anyone who misses Creepshow or Tales From the Crypt would love this more modern take on sketch horror. The cast and budget are good enough, but it's the heart and Halloween spirit that captures you. Smoke some Witches Weed or Frankenberry, and get lost in tales that cover all the horror pillars: mean children and bullies getting their due, witches taking advantage of grabby dudes, and unnatural beings scaring the shit out of a curmudgeonly old man who doesn't give out candy. It's basically a fucked-up Halloween version of A Christmas Carol.
You can't leave Halloween off any Halloween movie list. The latest try on Michael Myers in 2018 was a fun take on the franchise while keeping the original story's universe alive, and Rob Zombie's versions from the early 2000s are entertaining enough after a blunt. But this is the granddaddy of all slasher flicks, and the killing scenes and accompanying music are the ultimate in nostalgia. If you're having a horror-movie marathon full of dabs and munchies, this is an obvious start.
Haven't seen the new animated version? You don't need to. Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci and Christopher Lloyd made a family movie in 1991 that doesn't depend on nostalgia or carry campy special effects. It's creepy and funny for the kids, and (after a joint) kooky enough for adults. And the plot details — a swindling new love interest, séances and booby traps — are pure '90s.
The animation is outstanding and weird, and the plot is dark and surprisingly adult. Big spiders appear, hands are severed — shit gets weird.

Any Creature Feature Movie
Most of us are too young to remember Creature Features, but the format went like this: TV host in 1970s, '80s or '90s broadcasts old horror and Japanese monster movies, ranging from campy to classic, with a few wisecracks before and after commercial breaks. You can still find a few blurry recordings of them on YouTube, but the movies themselves are perfect for weed-smoking horror buffs. The Universal classics, such as Dracula, Frankenstein and The Creature From the Black Lagoon, Godzilla and King Kong flicks, and B-movie horrors like The Raven and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman were all part of it. It's all pulp and pot, baby.

Let's get this straight: I am in no way a Brexit fan; in fact, I voted against it. I so wish Britain would still be busking under the EU starred flag and be sitting at the grown-ups' table in the control room of the European Union. But, an active role, it will no longer be. Whatever the on-going negotiations will throw up, Britain's chair will sensitively be smaller than it used to be. Switzerland, move over…
We had been offered the world. Literally. We had been told that, without the oppressive and suffocating trade ties of the European Union, Britain would now be free to run wild and sign trade agreements –as it pleased- with any countries in the world; it would be able to create its own destiny and decide who could come in –and, I guess, leave. It all seemed pretty straightforward and hysterically A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Yes, let's do it! So the majority (well, sort of) of voters leaped.
Nineteen months on, two PMs in and after numerous ministerial resignations and Theresa May's countless trips to Brussels and back (way more than to any other British province), the British public still hasn't been given a detailed and timed action plan (political soundbites aside) of what exactly is going to happen when the UK officially checks out of the EU.
A leaving date has been set: 29th March 2019. But after that, a foggy oblivion: to date, nobody still knows what trade agreements will be put in place or what EU laws will be chucked out and what others will be allowed to stay. Will we have to give up chomping on croissants on our daily commute? Or will we simply need to re-name that bloody crumbly thing? An 'all-butter flaky bun' anyone? I actually over-heard someone suggesting it the other day as I was riding the Tube, to which I simply couldn't contain my laughter. Thankfully, I was reading a book behind which I was able to hide my face.
To start off: in Britain, referendums are NOT legally-binding and the parliament is sovereign. Did any voters know that when they went to vote? I am sure some did, but what about the majority of us? Why did no one –including the media- MAKE THAT CLEAR before voters went to the polls? Did anyone mention that? Well, it did sound as if the vote was a life-or-death choice and the world was going to end the next day. If this is true –if referendums truly are not legally binding- did we actually need a private citizen (an incredibly courageous woman nonetheless, by the name of Gina Miller, who put her face to the cause and for which she received disgustingly shameful threats) to challenge the government on triggering Article 50 without consulting and receiving the go-ahead by a formal vote in Parliament?
I was never in favour of the whole Brexit malarkey for three main reasons. First of all, the UK enjoys the workings of a well-oiled representative parliamentary democracy, in which the main decisions have to be dealt with and decided upon by the Parliament. Citizens elect representatives who will do just that. The Brexit vote should have never taken place because ordinary citizens haven't got the detailed knowledge to decide on such an intricate relationship as the one between the EU and the UK. I am not here to discuss any political (party) games, but if the former PM really wanted the public to have a say on whether or not to remain part of the EU, he should have known that every single voter should have been given the sacrosanct duty to learn about all the ins and outs of the relationship between the EU and the UK, and how it affects everyone's daily life. Otherwise, what to vote for? Lies and political slogans do not count. Democracy only works with an informed citizenry, and, evidently, information was flawed before the Brexit vote. In times like these, one sees the built-in defects of liberal representative democracy. Winston Churchill put it bluntly, "Democracy is the worst of all governments, except for all the others". Democracy isn't perfect, but one thing about it is undeniable: democracy guarantees that, at the very centre of the political process, lies the 'people', in particular the equality of all its individuals (think René Descartes' statement "I think, therefore I am") for which politics is designed for.
Secondly, Brexit was always going to be a lose-lose vote. Why? If the Remain side had won, automatically this would have legitimated the technocratic and dubiously democratic workings of the EU; whereas, if Leave had prevailed (as it would then happen), it would have been clearly a major setback for the unity of the EU.
Finally, in a more history-related fashion, in a century in which the importance (and role) of individual nation-states is in decadence (we are no longer in the twentieth century, the 'Short Century', in which nations reigned sovereign and –for better or for worse- dictated history), I personally see the taking of the solo route as some sort of nostalgia; the clingy, child-like behaviour of not wanting to let go of an era that has passed and will never come back.
But all of the above is only my opinion. Whichever your side is in the big Brexit debate, for the sake not only of Britain but of democracy as a whole, we must all agree on one thing: it did happen and now we must deal with it. Let's look forward and make sure that the UK's welfare state can thrive –whether in or out of the EU- and keep on being the global beacon that it has always been since its inception. This should be our battle now.
Rolling back what the British public voted for –with all its imperfections- and the Parliament ratified, would be detrimental in the not-so-long term and will have a lethal effect in a time in which nation-states are increasingly losing legitimacy in the eyes of their own citizens. In the rich Western world, political engagement is at an all-time low; the links between citizens and public authorities are more attenuated than ever; voters (particularly young) are generally disillusioned with politics; a further blow to their will will make matters even worse. Especially in a country considered the cradle of democracy, with a long-established tradition of representative government –longer than any other country on the planet- democracy has to run its course. Setting a precedent would be dangerous. Only history will be the ultimate judge.
The seemingly loud trumpets of the Phoenix Tony Blair and of the Liberal Democrats that have been advocating a halt to Brexit –after all a democratic exercise- carry a dangerously negative hidden message. There is a more at stake here than the result of a single referendum, something way more lasting. Let's not get carried away or –even worse- be deceived once again.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Sunday linked more than 300 opposition candidates in Turkey's March 31 local elections to "terrorist organisations" and said they would be dismissed if they were to win.
"After the election, we, especially my party, will apply for cancellation of councillorships of some 300 people," Erdoğan said during a television interview, referring to his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). If some of those candidates will be elected mayor, he added, then the government would appoint administrators to replace them.
According to the president, Turkey's opposition parties, led by the main opposition Republican Peoples' Party (CHP) and pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), have nominated more than 300 candidates with links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been fighting for self-rule in Turkey for decades and has been labelled a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
"There are full names and photos of those 325 people in the records including all the intelligence notes originally written in state language (on Turkish media)," Oğur wrote, arguing that the accused candidates would likely sue the state and the media for slander.

Professor, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Genevieve Konopka is a professor and Vice Chair of Neuroscience, the Jon Heighten Scholar in Autism Research and the Townsend Distinguished Chair in Research on Autism Spectrum Disorders at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. She received dual B.S. degrees in brain and cognitive sciences and biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and completed her Ph.D. in neurobiology at Harvard University.
Research in the Konopka lab focuses on understanding molecular pathways important for human brain evolution that are at risk in neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. Her lab uses a combination of post-mortem brain tissue, human neurons, animal models and primate comparative genomics to uncover human-specific, disease-relevant patterns of gene expression. Recent work in her lab integrates gene expression with signatures of neuronal activity in the human brain.
Konopka has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD) Young Investigator Award, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Pathway to Independence Award, a Basil O'Connor Scholar Award from the March of Dimes, a Young Investigator Award from the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), a Kavli Fellowship from the National Academy of Sciences and an Understanding Human Cognition Scholar Award from the James S.

Revocable Trusts Attorney in Boca Raton, FL
Typically revocable trusts (also known as "living trusts") are established as part of a basic estate plan. Revocable Trusts may be amended during the grantor's lifetime either by the grantor himself or herself or through a properly executed Florida Durable Power of Attorney which authorizes the attorney-in-fact that has that special power.
Revocable Trusts are used to minimize the possibility of future probate proceedings after the grantor passes away. Probate proceedings can be quite costly and time-consuming and ineffective because they can restrict the ability of an individual to dispose of his assets during after death because the court has the discretion to freeze assets of the decedent's estate while in the process of finalizing distribution of those assets between creditors and beneficiaries. Furthermore, because probate is a court proceeding it becomes a matter of public record and most privacy associated with the case is lost.
Create a Plan That Can Be Altered
The other main reason Revocable Trusts are established is to eliminate the need for a court-appointed guardian of the property in the event of incapacitation during a lifetime. When an individual develops dementia, Alzheimer's disease or some other mental or physical disability, he or she will not be able to manage his or her own financial decisions and therefore unless a court appoints a guardian to act on his or her behalf nothing will get done.
Even though a guardianship can be helpful in ensuring the individual is taken care of, as is this case with probate, they can be quite expensive and restrictive in nature. A properly drafted Revocable Trust, on the other hand, can address the concern about who takes over if something happens to the grantor during his lifetime by including language appointing one or more successor trustees to manage the grantor's property and carry out financial decisions.

Drake's 'Take Care' Passes J. Cole's '2014 Forest Hills Drive' for Second-Most Weeks on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums
11/15/2018 by Trevor Anderson
John Shearer/Getty Images
Drake performs onstage during the launch of Google Music hosted by T-Mobile at Mr. Brainwash Studio on Nov. 16, 2011 in Los Angeles.
The set's 169 weeks trails only Kenny's G's "Breathless."
As Drake's Take Care slips 40-41 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart (dated Nov. 17), the 2011 set logs its 169th week on the ranking and secures the second-longest stay in the chart's history, dating to its 1965 inception.
Care surpasses the 168-week sum of J. Cole's 2014 Forest Hills Drive and now trails only Kenny G's Breathless, which holds the record with 185 frames. As both albums re-enter the chart regularly -- Drive has recorded 27 weeks on the survey in 2018, while Care has made the ranking every week this year -- they could contend for the all-time mark in the first half of 2019.
As Drake snags the silver medal, here's a recap at the current leaderboard for most weeks on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums:
Weeks, Album, Artist
185, Breathless, Kenny G
169, Take Care, Drake
168, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, J. Cole
152, Curtain Call: The Hits, Eminem
146, good kid, m.A.A.d city, Kendrick Lamar
146, Greatest Hits, 2Pac
145, Beauty Behind The Madness, The Weeknd
140, The Eminem Show, Eminem
140, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Wu-Tang Clan
132, Views, Drake
Notably, several of those albums, including Drive and Care, have benefited from a 2017 switch in the chart's tabulation. Prior to the chart dated Feb. 11, 2017, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums was strictly a sales-based ranking. Since then, the chart has ranked albums based on multi-metric consumption through album sales, track-equivalent albums and streaming-equivalent albums and has allowed older catalog titles to qualify for re-entry. Consistent streams for both Drive and Care have helped the albums return to the chart after extended absences.
Breathless, however, also profited in one key way: During its run, a consecutive stretch of 183 weeks between December 1992 and June 1996, with three additional weeks later in 1996 and 1997, the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart encompassed 100 positions. It was then reduced to 75 slots in 2010 and its current length of 50 positions in 2013.
