My interest in this topic is twofold, first I suffer from arthritis, and sometimes it can be very painful and debilitating; secondly I am responding to a request posted in a comment given on the website.
Believe it or not, there are foods that can make your joint pains worse, as the wise would say –food is your best medicine; it can also be your worse nightmare.
I am now convinced that there is a menu of foods for good health, regardless of the ailment or condition; When on look at the foods for specific conditions, you will find the same foods listed for other conditions.
Eat from the menu for maximum health.
I am somewhat puzzled about consuming nightshade vegetables. There were part of my plant- based diet, and I am partial to tomatoes and hot peppers.
My suggestion for victims of arthritis would be to conduct your own trials, eat them for a month and measure your pain, then avoid them for another month and make your decision, if there was any difference in pain.
Steve Hefferson a Health and Fitness expert, has promoted a supplement-Heal-n-Soothe that he claims can combat your eating these vegetables. I have no experience of using this product and would recommend researching reviews by people who have used Heal-n-Soothe.
An insoluble protein formed from fibrinogen during the clotting of blood. It forms a fibrous mesh that impedes the flow of blood.
For more information please search the Internet, begin by browsing the following websites. Pay special attention to nightshade vegetables and do not limit yourself to these sites.
The word still appear to be out on nightshade vegetables; If you discover any research with human trials, please share.
My findings are simply the result of diligent research; I am not a professional health care provider.
Be sure to create your family EBook on the health benefits of plants and herbs.
It can help shape the future of your children and grandchildren.
I hope you have read all my articles on the health benefits of plants and herbs.
This exercise will test your cognitive function and give your brain a good workout.

Very interesting read! Will definitely share! It's amazing how much what we eat can impact our lives! Nightshade vegetables have unique properties that make them harmful for certain health conditions, even though we generally think of them as healthy!

Rest in Peace, Hermione | personal.amy-wong.com - A Blog by Amy Wong.
Hermione Jane Granger, 15, of London was born a muggle-born but had more wisdom and talent for magic than any pure-blood would ever have. She was found in the MOM by Albus Dumbledore after she gave her life to defend and protect Harry James Potter.
Hermione Jane Granger is survived by her parents.
Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore will be officiating. The casket will be carried by Hagrid, Remus Lupin, Professor Victor, Professor Sprout and Dobby the House Elf. She will be laid to rest in the Godric Hollow Memorial Cemetery at 3:00 p.m. on June 3.
Those who wish to send flowers are encourage to send donations to S.P.E.W. instead.
We all miss the Hermione in books 1-5. If I ever re-read Harry Potter, it will only be books 1-5 where Hermione was herself and where it seemed it had to be Harmony.
We miss you PS-OotP Hermione.
May fanfiction resurrect you Pre-HBP Hermione.

Atmospheric gases are the gases normally found in the air around us. They include air, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, nitrogen and oxygen.
Of these gases argon, oxygen and nitrogen are produced primarily by the separation of air into its constituent components. This is normally achieved by reducing the temperature of the air until each component liquefies and can be taken away.
Of the two other gases in this section carbon dioxide is produced as a by-product of several chemical processing procedures.
Helium occurs naturally only in the earth's crust where it has been trapped in non-porous rock pockets, in a similar way as oil is found. These helium 'wells' are only found in certain areas of the world that possess the right type of geology, making helium a rare and expensive gas.
Each of these gases has its own unique properties but together they provide a life sustaining mixture that has maintained its components, if not their ratios, for many millions of years.
The majority of atmospheric gases are classified as unreactive or inert, and it is only the oxidising gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, that react readily with other elements. It is these and other properties of the atmospheric gases that are fully exploited by industry processes.

The recent wave of populism forces us to sharpen our understanding of the literal meaning of 'democracy' and 'the rule of the people' as well as the accepted definition of liberal democracy
On May 9th Israel will celebrate Independence Day, the 71st anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel. What do Israelis think about the state of the country at the age of 71?
An Uphill Start
In 2016, Israelis' trust in the mass media reached an all-time low. But the decline seems to have bottomed out then; the increase in trust registered in 2017 has continued this year and reached 31%. This is still low as compared to many other institutions, but is all the same an improvement.
Cautious Optimism for the Established Media
Trust in Israeli media is on the rise, and that's a valuable lifeline to those whose job it is to keep the public informed.
Is Israeli Democracy in Danger – Interview with Yohanan Plesner
Why do nearly half of Israelis believe that their political leadership is corrupt and that their democracy is in danger? Gil Hoffman interviews Israel Democracy Institute President Yohanan Plesner, on the findings of the 2018 Israeli Democracy Index
Is Israeli Society Frail Or Flourishing?
Is Israeli democracy weak, fragile and on the brink of collapse, or is it robust, stable and resilient?

Israeli democracy is dealing with complicated challenges, but we are in a good place in comparison to other countries around the world
Surprised? Meet Israel's New political Center
Although one need not agree with the positions held by Israel's Arab citizens, it can't be denied that they constitute an independent, moderate voice – and a promising political middle ground on the Palestine- Israeli conflict. This article first appeared in The Jerusalem Post.
No Way to Run a Democracy
IDI President Yohanan Plesner argues that electoral reform will not suffice to fix the short-term-ism that is destroying Israel's capacity for long-term planning and policy execution; reform of the internal processes of the parties themselves is required. This op-ed first appeared in the Jerusalem Report.
Peace Index Poll: 1/3 Of Jews Say Jewish Terrorists Should Be Handled Differently Than Palestinian Terrorists
The index, polled between Dec. 29 and 30, 2015 – before the Jan. 1 Tel Aviv terror attack and before the indictments against the Jewish suspects were handed down – focuses on the Israeli public's positions on aspects of the efforts to prevent terror attacks and on issues in the background of these incidents, such as the current level of support for the two-states-for-two-peoples solution, the relative bond to the land among Jews and Palestinians, and the balance between Israel's Jewish and democratic components.
Are we experiencing a third Intifada?
Other finding: image of present Knesset members is, in the vernacular, "lousy"
Despite reported tensions, discrimination and intolerance, Israelis say their personal situations are good
The Israeli Democracy Institute (IDI) released the Israeli Democracy Index 2015 on Nov. 10, 2015. This year's public opinion poll, a project conducted by the Guttman Center for Surveys, found that Israeli's are more content than the news reports might make them appear.
Latest Peace Index: Israelis Are "Tense But Not Hysterical"
This month's peace index survey focused on the ongoing wave of terror attacks and how they are affecting the feelings and behaviors of the Israeli public. Overall, the study found a Jewish public that is tense but not hysterical.
A Social Iron Dome for Jewish-Arab Relations
In an op-ed in Yedioth Ahronoth, Prof. Yedidia Stern warns that the Iron Dome could not protect Israel from hatred between Jewish and Arab citizens, and stresses the need for both sides to use imaginative empathy to mend the fabric of Israel's shared society.?

Democracy in Crisis? Israeli Survey Respondents Agree to Disagree
Israel's 2018 Democracy Index, an annual survey of the health of Israeli democracy, shows off the deepest contradictions in Israeli life. Prof. Tamar Hermann explains why half the country thinks democracy is endangered but half do not, why the left-right divide is now seen as the most threatening division in Israeli society, but the number of Israeli Jews who think things are going well has been rising for over a decade

Wikipedia's Reputation in Meltdown
Unfortunately, the integrity of Wikipedia is corrupted by a policy allowing the anonymous editing of articles.
This fundamental flaw allows articles to be potentially sanitized of any facts embarrassing to a featured subject e.g. an evil oil giant
Larry Sanger, the co-creator of Wikipedia, has recently expressed similar misgivings about how Wikipedia has changed for the worse in recent years. He claims that it has been ruined.
Sanger identifies "anonymous contribution" as being detrimental to the accuracy of online information, which he rightly says is open to corruption by governments, corporations, spies and criminal organisations. He goes on to say that they know how to play the Wikipedian game. Sanger is now embarrassed by Wikipedia and has become its most prominent critic.
Royal Dutch Shell is one such corporation. Its in-house spies (from Corporate Affairs Security (CAS) and Shell Global Security have also been involved in these matters. Shell has been obsessed with my connection with Wikipedia and set up a team to combat my activities. I have Shell internal correspondence proving the obsession and the sinister steps taken.
Late last month, a cybersecurity outfit working for Shell sent a 5-day ultimatum to the hosting company for my royaldutchshell.website. The website is focused on Shell's corruption of Wikipedia articles about the company, including the Wikipedia article: royaldutchshellplc.com.
Basically, the cybersecurity firm tried to kill the royaldutchshell.website by using outright intimidation not against me, but the relevant website hosting company. The website remains in operation.
The royaldutchshellplc.com Wikipedia article has been on display for over 14 years. It identifies my father Alfred Donovan as being a current owner of the royaldutchshellplc.com website. In fact, he passed away over 8 years ago. His death was reported at the time in a Guardian newspaper article. The incorrect information remains to this day despite my notification of his death to Wikipedia.
Attempts were also made recently, partly by anonymous editors, to kill the royaldutchshellplc.com Wikipedia article. The current plan is to merge it with the Royal Dutch Shell Wikipedia article. That would allow any remaining content from the website article to be edited out of existence.
I can only speculate on whether the simultaneous attempts to kill the royaldutchshell.website and the related royaldutchshellplc.com Wikipedia article are coincidental or otherwise.
It is also a provable fact that Mr Sanger's expressed distaste for Wikipedia is in line with what I have been saying on the record for many years.
Listed below are some of the recent articles about Mr Sanger and his devastating comments about the integrity of Wikipedia.
Telegraph article headlined: "The Left has taken over Wikipedia and stripped it of neutrality, says co-creator."
EXTRACT FROM THE ARTICLE: Asked if he thought Wikipedia could be trusted to give truthful information, he replied: "Well, it depends on what you think the truth is."
On 1 August 2021, The Sunday Times published a major article on page 24 under the headline: 'I wouldn't trust Wikipedia — and I helped to invent it'
MailOnline Article By ARIEL ZILBER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM: PUBLISHED: 01:17, 16 July 2021 | UPDATED: 18:51, 16 July 2021: 'Nobody should trust Wikipedia,' its co-founder warns: Larry Sanger says site has been taken over by left-wing 'volunteers' who write off sources that don't fit their agenda as fake news. Wikipedia can no longer be trusted as a source of unbiased information…
FOX News Article By Charles Creitz | Fox News: 22 July 2021: Wikipedia co-founder slams the website for having 'abandoned' the neutral point of view:
Screenshots from related video…
Further information from the Fox News article and video interview.
Larry Sanger discusses how the website has become more biased on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight'. The co-founder of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, who left the organization more than a decade ago and has increasingly opposed what he says it has evolved into, told Fox News on Thursday that biased and partial actors have "gamed" the user-edited database, ruining what it was meant to be.
Host Tucker Carlson went on to note that people have increasingly found slanted or missing context and facts in Wikipedia entries, as well as the dynamic of editors "playing up something that doesn't seem to be true… In the above Tucker Carson/Larry Sanger video, Sanger identifies "anonymous contribution" as being detrimental to the accuracy of online information as it is open to the information being corrupted by Governments, corporations, spies and criminal organisations. They know how to play the Wikipedian game. Sanger says he is embarrassed and is now a leading critic of Wikipedia.
On 17 July 2021, I Googled the following question: what percentage of Wikipedia editors hide their names/aliases.
This was the top of the page response:
Wikipedia carries the general disclaimer that it can be "edited by anyone at any time" and maintains an inclusion threshold of "verifiability, not truth." This editing model is highly concentrated as 77% of all articles are written by 1% of its editors, a majority of whom are anonymous.
As I have stated before, anonymous posts are an evil that undermines the integrity of Wikipedia and many other Internet platforms including social media. Anonymity facilitates online bullying, abuse, threats, blackmail, racist behaviour and the posting of fake information. People have been driven to suicide by such activity. It should be universally banned except, perhaps, for genuine whistleblowing.

PIQUE Toronto for Bell Fibe's Video-On-Demand - We made it!
I've recently heard word from creative director, producer, founder and now friend of PIQUE Toronto -- Imad Elsheik -- that producers at Bell Media also saw potential in Toronto's young creatives and agreed to hop on and feature each 100 young Torontonian's story on Bell Fibe's Video-On-Demand store the weekend of October 11th.
I am genuinely appreciative and blessed to have Imad and a group of like-minded individuals see potential in me and organically grasp exactly what I do, who I am, what I'm about and where I'm going. Building a strong support system within a community of young professionals and achievers is so vital in today's day and age. Working together, collaborating together, and building magic together is something that's still lacking in Toronto. Achieving goals and dreams together is a beautiful thing and I'm all fore it!
I am a journalist, stylist, social media junkie, and creative contributor to various lifestyle brands and media outlets. Being versatile allows me to utilize my journalism background and multi-platform skills when telling stories through online, print, broadcast media or visual images via social media platforms. Working alongside like-minded people on practical hands-on projects on a timely and relevant matter is also my forte. Producing something tangible with other creatives whilst telling a story is much more meaningful and has longevity to it; all while building a strong and genuine rapport with others. I am your modernized journalist. I am a left wing thinker and I get down and creatively dirty with you to fully grasp a story and make magic happen. I am on your side, always. I am a one-stop shop for your creative, lifestyle and media needs. Utilize me.
Through PIQUE Toronto, I've met beautiful, genuine, creative minds and people. I now call a few of them my friends. Through this community outlet, I'm now working on a few collaborative projects with local leather designers, jewellery designers, men's accessory designers, photographers, videographers and graphic designers.
I feel humbled that they all approached me to help them make magic happen through my design and aesthetics -- especially a female who's so in tuned with men's fashion and publications.
Bell Media's team created a poster for each episode on each Toronto creative. This is mine. Catch me on the third episode featured on Bell Fibe's Video-On-Demand the weekend of October 11th.
Thank you all so much for your continuous support and interest in my journey. I promise I won't disappoint. I owe it to you all. I bow down.


Sooo I downloaded the kit and it works great, but it has a few problems.
It changed the icon and the name of my hard drive and I would like to know how to change it back or while files to delete to change it back.
Then, that is very odd & was never reported before.
It does not touch any system settings/registry/etc.
Were there any flaggings after running the scan?
Have you quarantine/ delete anything?
Where you running it from the External device or it was copied (unzipped) into your hard drive?
...was asking antoplay issues not flaggings&scans.
Let's make it easier.I found something on Wikipedia that may help you.
I'm not sure how that's making it "easier" when we do not have any information whatsoever yet... Autoplay / Autorun.inf? Why?
What about the quote above about deletion?
The Emergency Kit is most likely extracted in the root of the harddisk instead of a separate folder. If the Emergency Kit is extracted in the root of C:\ the disk will be renamed to "Emsisoft Emergency Kit" and start.exe will be run every time the disk is accessed.
Find the following folders and files in the root of the harddisk that is renamed and remove these folders and files.
Remove only the folders and files as shown below. Do NOT remove anything else!
After reboot the harddisk will have it's old name back.

c.1950s

In Tate Britain
Prints and Drawings Room
Guy Bourdin 1928–1991
Group of 27 photographs, gelatin silver prints on paper
Photograph, gelatin silver print on paper
Image: 240 × 180 mm
Purchased with funds provided by the Photography Acquisitions Committee 2015
Untitled c.1950s is a black and white photograph by the French photographer Guy Bourdin. The entirety of the frame is taken up by a close-up of a dark door, with an ornate keyhole barely showing towards the bottom left corner. Immediately to the right of this, apparently balanced in the nook of the door's moulded panel, is the ovoid form of what looks like a white egg. There is little sense of scale or contextual detail, resulting in a near-abstract composition which focuses on the contrast between the black and white forms, as well as the organic shape of the oval form set against the linear panels of the door.
Bourdin is best known for his experimental colour fashion photography produced while working for French Vogue between 1955 and 1977. This photograph belongs to an earlier period of experimentation, before he began to use colour and work in fashion. Taken outside the studio, it shows Bourdin's sensitivity to the natural world and his attempt to transform the everyday into abstract compositions, bridging the gap between surrealism and subjective photography. Bourdin's early work was heavily influenced by surrealism, as well as by pioneers of photography as a fine art such as Edward Weston, Paul Strand and Bill Brandt. His surrealist aesthetic can be attributed to his close relationship with Man Ray (1890–1976), who wrote the foreword to the catalogue for Bourdin's first solo exhibition of black and white photographs at Galerie 29, Paris in 1952.
This and other early photographs by Bourdin in Tate's collection (see Tate P81203–P81229) typical of Subjektive Fotografie ('subjective photography'), a tendency in the medium in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Led by the German photographer and teacher Otto Steinert (1915–1978), who organised three exhibitions under the title Subjektive Fotografie in 1951, 1954 and 1958, the movement advocated artistic self-expression – in the form of the artist's creative approach to composition, processing and developing – above factual representation. Subjektive Fotografie's emphasis on, and encouragement of, individual perspectives invited both the photographer and the viewer to interpret and reflect on the world through images. Bourdin's interest in this can be seen in his early use of texture and abstraction, evident in close-up studies of cracked paint peeling off an external wall or a piece of torn fabric. These still lives were often dark in subject matter and tone, highlighting Bourdin's interest in surrealist compositions and the intersection between death and sexuality. The works made use of the photographer's urban environment, with deep black and high contrast printing techniques employed to create a sombre mood.
This approach was also important for Bourdin's early portraiture, which anticipated his subsequent work in fashion. The subject of his portraits – often Solange Gèze, to whom the artist was married from 1961 until her death in 1971 – is usually framed subtly, rarely appearing in the centre or as the main focus of the image. In these works the figure is secondary, showing how Bourdin let the natural or urban environment frame the subject and integrate the body into its immediate surroundings. Bourdin was meticulous about the creative process from start to finish, sketching out images on paper and then recreating them in the landscape, using the natural environment as a stage set for his work.

Sam Darnold third highest pff grade since week 10
By RonaldJet, December 4, 2019 in New York Jets Message Board
Joe W. Namath 4,740
Darnold is great with a clean pocket. But so are most nfl qbs.
Sam is god awful when he gets the slightest bit of pressure. So against any good defense, we are incapable of winning games with Sam Darnold.
Can he improve on this or is he just a scared wimp that cant handle stepping up in the pocket when the heat is on?
To be continued.......

It could be purely because Sam rarely sets his feet and delivers, but I just don't see a guy with a big arm. I think his arm is fine by the way, except for the fact that he's reckless with the ball at times, and to be successful in the Favre mold, you need the requisite arm. It's also fair to say I don't see other QBs throwing deep as often as I see Sam throwing deep, because I watch more Jets, but his deep ball accuracy seems problematic to me.
I think there are concerns, I don't think fixing the Offensive line is the end-all be-all of those concerns, and I think that this idea is only a radical notion among a group of people who've already dubbed him as "flashing elite play."
It could also be because Sam rarely has a clean pocket to set his feet. Dalton literally didnt have a single drop back with pressure the entire game, so every throw he made was a throw he could step into and put zip on it.
Sam has to get better, I dont think there is a single person on this board who think he's perfect. And even with an improved line, he'll still wont be perfect and will have to get better as a player. There are some very over the top posters taking a few peoples comments way too serious and littering each thread by mocking them with saying "special" every 10 seconds but I dont think anyone on this site thinks Sam is a finished product.
I think the rational people understand he's a 22 year old kid playing on one of the worst teams in Football, on his 2nd HC, 2nd GM and playing behind the worst OL in the NFL with average weaponz who despite all that is 4-5 as a starter, improved in every single passing category from last year and had some really good games where had some special moments.
I know being level head and rational doesnt make for a great message board debate nor will it sway a person's thoughts on the Sam but I prefer this approach to overdramatic week to week reactionary commentary.

All analytics do not take situational circumstance into account.
Analytics should be used as a guide with an objective eye test attached.
There are no perfect numbers.
yes there is
I think I've seen enough to set my expectations of Darnold going forward.
Accuracy: excellent in the short to intermediate space. Bad deep ball accuracy.
Mobility: really good pocket awareness and throws well on the run
Arm Strength: Very good on and off platform.
Vision: senses pressure and scans the field well. Struggles with blitzes. This is the one area I think he can improve with coaching and experience.
What do I expect. Philip Rivers without the deep ball accuracy.
The most important thing is giving Darnold a clean pocket.

This goblydygook is all fine and dandy but written by the same guy who was ready to move on from Sam in October and is now defending him. Stats dont do a 180 every month.
I thought he was broken after Miami, he proved he's not so I'm back to believing he'll be a great player in the NFL. Forgive me for changing my opinion after more time to evaluate.

Here are some fun facts about the NFL and fans and this conversation:
Players have good weeks and bad weeks. Even the very bestest sometimes arent at their bestest.
Sometimes teams dont play well, even the good ones. Bad teams especially, play up and down Football. It's why, they are in fact, a bad team.
Young players are highly inconsistent. Young players that play on horrible teams, are even more susceptible to inconsistent play. Very few, if ever, overcome that factor and end up being successful. The thought that these other guys who are performing well would be doing what they're doing if they were playing for the Jets is laughable.
Sometimes (and many factors go into this) the other team is just better that day. There used to be a slogan in the NFL, any given Sunday. Often times, when you're a bad team, the other team doesnt have to be good to get your number on any given Sunday. The reality is, the difference between an 0-11 Bengals team and a 4-7 Jets team was slim to none. Both are terrible.
The eye test, is just as effective as these stupid advanced statistics. The "advanced statistics" you love tell me things like - DVOA has Dak Prescott as the best QB in the NFL, QBbase told me Bakery Mayflower is the best QB prospect of all time, PFF tells me that Rodgers and Mahomes arent top 10 QB's in the NFL and Dwayne Haskins is better than Sam Darnold and Josh Allen. They're cool for conversation but they're extremely flawed and ultimately stupid.
Opinions, are like assholes. We've all got different kinds. It's like the people saying, "I havent seen anything elite or special from Sam Darnold" think they're speaking in fact. Well guess what, I say that I have seen elite and special play from him. Bias plays a factor on both sides. You want to be right about Sam being a bust, then you havent seen anything special. I want Sam to be good, so I have seen something special.
Fans are irrational. They're week to week evaluators when they mostly have no clue what they're watching. Reality is, that's not how the NFL works. You dont go from being a god one week, to a goat the next. It's always somewhere in between.
Fans are shallow. Their minds are weak. They point to 2 people 99% of the time; QB and HC. Yet, in our example as Jets fans, we like to talk about how our last GM was the worst ever and we have the worst roster in the league but we also have expectations that our very young QB should overcome all of that and be producing to make advanced statistics happy because they feel validation from seeing some moronic ranking spit out by some dudes using some flawed equation that doesnt actually tell you anything you probably didnt already know.
I understand fans need something to talk about and want to desperately be right on the interwebz but the reality here is; the team is going to go all in on Sam Darnold and rightfully so. It's best that everyone get used to it and be excited about having the best QB prospect in the building we've ever had in my lifetime.
So, you like Gase?

The only other real-world option to Fitz that year was Geno, it was going to be one or the other. And there were absolutely many Geno supports, they just can't face how deeply wrong they were.
Naming Fitz the starter and paying him a relatively low veteran QB salary was perfectly fine after he put up one of the best years a Jets QB ever produced, production wise (again, Jets Fans hate actual production but love guys who don't produce but get their pants twitching with hope). The failure was not getting the deal done early, and that's on our now-fired GM. But no, people who wanted to dump Fitz and start Geno weren't right and never will be. So save the make believe revisionist "there were no Geno supporters" history slats, you picked the wrong QB, man up about it for once.
$10M for Fitz was plain dumb. His production was the result of Decker and Marshall completely balling out for 26 of his 31 TDs. He completed less than 60% of his throws for less than 7ypc. The receivers were great that year, Fitz was not.
And there were other QBs out there to sign, but they didn't because they hitched their wagon to Fitz while he was a free agent, and he subsequently robbed them. Don't blame him, I would've, too. It was the Jets who were stupid.

Another example of an obviously poor underthrown ball......that the WR still should have caught. Failure of both sides of the tandem.
No pressure at all, yet Sam is dancing around, happy happy feet, like Fred Astaire!
great example of his issue. Stay in the pocket step up and deliver the throw. Until he corrects this he will continue to be a huge bust.

Fitz is a professional QB. Best QB I have seen here since Pennington.
i.e. My position all along?
Sam has elite potential. His makes infrequent exceptional, jaw-dropping throws. He is worth developing and building around and supporting.
No hyperbole, no "special", no "greatness", no "better than Aaaron Rodgers today", no "way better than Dak right now" hysteria.
He's a young QB with great potential and not so great performance or consistency overall, playing for a bad team that needs improved, especially on the O-line.
Facts. Rational analysis.
By the way, for trolls like Phil, when you want to strawman what I think about Sam, go ahead and quote THIS post, because THIS is how I feel about Sam, not whatever dumb poo you try to peddle.
Fan # 1 was never an idiot, for the record, just misguided.
Such a fan was simply lacking in all forms of rational objectivity. judging the player only by the occasional flashes of good and ignoring any and all overall bad.
Forgive me if I didnt realize you actually think he has potential. That has not been clear as you've mocked everyone calling him special by comparing him to Patrick Ramsey for 2 weeks.
I do not view a 2nd year QB with 22 starts under his belt, on his 2nd HC and 2nd GM, playing on one of the worst teams in the NFL, behind the worst line in the NFL who happens to be 4-5 and improved year over year in every single passing category at 63%, 2200, 13/10 as "overall bad." I'd argue that when you factor in all the adversity he has to overcome on his own team, that he's been "overall good".

Fitzpatrick was tremendous for us that one year, no question about it. It is silly to suggest otherwise.
He is also the perfect backup QB. A guy that can come in and play at a high level and win you some games. He can also be bad but that is the reason he is not a starter.

When the best QB prospect in our lifetime (fair enough) goes out and parties hard enough to make Page 6, a couple months after getting MONO... and then goes out and lays an absolute egg vs the worst passing defense in football... it's hard to be excited
this is Darnold in a nutshell by the way... he streaky AF, his fundementals are non-existent and the ridiculously poor coaching staff is in the process of ruining whatever talent he has.
Why would they call WR screen 3x in a row for example. Did Dowell Loggains suffer a stroke on Sunday? or maybe they don't trust 14 to make a quick read. Some of those sacks he had like 4 or 5 seconds back there... brain dead... not quite seeing ghosts level but it was not great
Every USC QB ever has been in it for the poon, btw That's like 90% of the reason why anyone goes to USC. Which is fine if you're Joe Willy, Sam Darnold is 8-14 as a starter he's not a professional at this point which is why it's hard to get excited
A 22 year old QB playing on one of the worst teams in Football is streaky AF????
Inconceivable!!!!

I completely disagree with "Sam is god awful when he gets the slightest bit of pressure." If anything, it seems like he's at his best when on the run. I've seen him complete passes to WRs crossing the middle while Giants defenders are draped on him. I've seen him scramble and find Herndon (last year) down the sideline and Crowder (this year) getting open in an intermediate zone. Where Sam crumbles is when he tries to make too much happen in a game or situation where the Jets need magic to win. While other QBs can throw the ball away or punt knowing they'll get another chance, the Jets have had way too many situations where Sam can't simply "cut his losses" and I think he feels the need to make something out of nothing because who knows if we'll be down by 14+ when he gets the ball back.

Good news is, slowly, very slowly the Jets are getting to a better screen passing team.
This should start to take some of the pressure off. They have to be the worst screen design team in the NFL for the last 15 years

completely balling out for 26 of his 31 TDs.
most of deckers were clean slants.
a bunch of marhsalls were back shoulder throws whcih simply requires a big WR and a QB to have the timing down...
dont forget marshall dropped what shoulda been a TD vs Pats that mighta gotten us a W in Foxboro.
I posted a reel of all his TDs yesterday. I'll do it again..."completely balling out"? Thats serious exagerration.
I agree. When he scrambles out and gets away from the pressure, he is good. When he is confined in the pocket and there is pressure, he is god awful.
One of the great aspects of dan marino was his ability to manipulate the pocket. To slide up, down, left, right.... Avoid the pressure and make the throw. Sam has 0 capability to do that at this point. He panics and cant handle it.
Thats what seeing ghosts is all about. He feels the pressure but instead of moving to spots in the pocket to make the throw, he literally thinks players are there that arent.
He cant play unless there is a totally clean pocket, or he gets out and makes throws on the run.
What makes an aaron rodgers, a brady etc is there ability to stay in the pocket when there is pressure, Slide to the right spot to give you that extra half second and make the throw. Sam is awful at that.
It's funny how we can all see things differently at times.
i think protecting the ball (learning to throw it away), is one of the few things he's getting better at.
in fact, I think he overdoes it at times, but that's probably me being a guy who likes/wants a QB who makes mistakes of aggression, overconfidence, whatever you want to call it over one who is tentative.
I think this is something that Gase has drummed into Sam's head. I think it's also a reason the game plans feature so many more screens and short passes. The HC is trying to build his confidence.
I'm flattered by your desire to pin me down....on the subject, that is but I really dont care about being wrong or right.
I think it's pretty clear that I'm a pro Darnold guy and I'm optimistic about his future. I've only strayed from that for one week of his career, when I thought he was broken after Miami. The scene of him not trying for the bad snap in the endzone and immediately yelling at his OL made me very nervous about if he had a set of balls to succeed. But even then, I maintained that I think he's a long term starter in the league and just not sure if he has the killer the instinct to be elite. Since then, he's answered the call and been good to great, so I'm once again firmly in the pro Darnold camp.
You want the real and I know this is shocking for the know it all interwebz people but ready for it???? The truth is, I dont know how good Sam will be and if he'll ever reach elite status. And guess what, nobody on this site knows. He's in a pretty impossible situation to be successful and it's extremely hard to make heads or tails of it. And those that think they have it figured out, dont.

Great! Who cares? lol It means absolutely nothing. His numbers are better than Drew Brees in his 1st two seasons, so should we be excited about that the way we're supposed to upset that his stats compare to Patrick Ramsey?
it more an interesting similarity, from my POV. and your pt about Brees is a good one.
but to be more specific.. it seems a segment of Jet fans, myself included, are harrassed by the koolaid contingent that everything is fine at the QB position. Sure, he has looked excellent a few times. But he has also looked like crap a buncha times. So its a mixed bag. Dude has much improving just to get where McClown was in 2017 and where Fitz is today... the middle of the pack. And then another step to top tier. Adn yes, we need a better OL for any of those steps to be possible. Thr first step I think is probable, the 2nd I am uncertain about.
As I said earlier in the thread, I dont know how good Darnold can be and nobody does...but what I do know is it's really hard to make that determination this season with this pathetic of a team. Build around him properly and let's see what he's got. Again, he's currently 4-5 as a starter this season improving statistically from last year all the while playing on one of the worst teams in Football. He's nowhere near as bad as the doubters make him out to be, just as he's nowhere near as good as the koolaid contingent makes him out to be.
I agree we don't know how this will turn out, how could we?
I think the only issue here is the fact there seems to be two factions here. One side, call them the pro Darnold's if you like, have a group among them who like to throw around words like "certain" "elite" and "special" when talking about him. They've done it since day one.
Then you have the "anti's" which I don't think is an accurate label, but is the one the pros use to refer to anyone who tries to temper their views, or refuse to give him an excuse for every mistake he makes. Does that mean the "antis" are rooting against the kid? I don't think so, but in the eyes of the "pros" who feel like it's harping on, or hating Darnold, it is.
This whole topic of Darnold's development has now evolved into a sort of Jet fandom litmus test. If you believe he's going to be top 5 QB you're a fan. If you don't you obviously don't like Sam and the Jets.
Build around him properly and let's see what he's got.

Most companies need the support of a great digital strategy agency because the process of developing a digital marketing strategy is complex. If you're like many organisations that come to us, this task seems overwhelming, so instead you've dabbled in digital marketing, trying different digital channels and activities without ever really managing to turn your strategy into leads. Or, you've been successful in the past but it's time for a change and you need some expert support.
A successful digital marketing strategy requires a deep understanding of your business, clear insight into how your target audiences think, an overview of competitor activity, a database of impactful digital assets, a familiarity with all potential digital channels (e.g. online media and social networks) for reaching prospects, and the creativity and diligence to bring it all together into a measurable plan that generates results.
Our process begins with a conversation where we develop an in-depth understanding of your business and your objectives. We then research your target audience and establish what is preventing them from engaging with you. We analyse every channel for reaching them and work with you to set clear KPIs and design a digital marketing strategy that will ensure you achieve them. If you're like most of our clients, your website will be at the centre of your digital strategy – we are experts at managing website builds and at maintaining websites to ensure they deliver an ever-increasing stream of traffic and leads.
If you don't know the challenges your customers and prospects face then you cannot market to them. You also need to know what motivates them and how they search for and digest information, including the media they consume and the social channels they use. Thorough persona development is fundamental to every successful digital marketing strategy.
We speak to your sales team and your senior leadership team to gain an understanding of the business. This includes getting a handle on your sales process, what your customers are looking for and any barriers to purchase they face, so we can design a strategy that overcomes them. We will also use these conversations to inform content angles that help overcome your prospects' pain points.
Fall foul of search engine algorithms and your business will struggle to ever be found by anyone. We give your website the once over and consider over 100 different factors that will affect its ability to generate leads. Then we plan fixes in the overall strategy.
Still a search marketing staple, our keyword research takes into account the strength of your site versus your competitors' and looks at the short and long tail keywords you should be competing for.
We look at your existing content and your untapped resources, before planning the content you will need to help you sell more. This might include a series of in-depth landing pages designed to help you rank for specific lead generation keywords or guides for prospects designed to help you spark their interest. As a digital strategy agency we believe in the true power of content.
As Google has publicly announced that links and content are two of the most important ranking signals it's important to know a) how many links are pointing at your site (and where they're pointing from) and b) what your competitors' link profiles look like – after all, you need better links than them if you're to outperform them online.
Are your competitors using marketing automation? How effective are their social profiles as lead generation channels? Where do they rank and which keywords are they interested in? How authoritative are their websites? We know the questions you should be asking.
Where does your traffic come from? What's the best performing channel in terms of conversions? Have there been any big increases/decreases across channels? Which sites refer traffic to you? If you don't know this at a basic level, then you have no foundation upon which to build a strategy.
If, like a lot of our clients, you decide to power your marketing strategy using marketing technology, then we can advise on the tech stack and CRM integration, before helping you develop the proper processes. We can even do your website project management for you.
We're only interested in the KPIs that will make an actual difference to your bottom line. This might be your share of voice vs your competitors in target media, it might be the size of your lead database or it might be the number of inbound leads generated in a set time period. We help you establish the right KPIs and make sure you know how to reach them.
We take all of the above, prioritise activities across a 12-month period, put tactical timelines in place, and then present the completed strategy to your internal teams so they can implement it, OR we execute it ourselves – your choice.
Our digital strategy agency team consists of Google-certified search marketing experts, HubSpot-certified inbound experts, and award-winning PR and content marketing experts delivering a host of digital marketing services.
Our work has won 13 awards, and over 40 clients have seen fit to endorse us and we've been applauded on the Recommended Agencies Register as a leading inbound marketing agency.
If you're looking to scale you need a digital strategy agency that knows what it's doing.

Nov. 17 is considered to be the beginning of our velvet revolution, but this day was not a bolt out of a clear sky, though it may have seemed like it.
Throughout the whole of the '70s and '80s, foreign journalists visited me, and periodically told me that [dissident human rights movement] Charter 77 was an isolated grouplet of quixotic intellectuals, but that Czechoslovak society was apathetic, the regime conservative, and that nothing could change without factory workers rising en masse against the regime. I kept telling them: be careful, it's not so simple.
Reality under a totalitarian regime is not always readily intelligible when viewed from a distance. In the absence of freedom of expression, very few have insight into the lower — I would say, subconscious — levels of social life and shifts that occur. No one knows exactly which occurrences will prove to be significant, how they mature, and what they turn into.
No one knows which inconspicuous snowball has the capacity to set off an avalanche, which, to the surprise of all observers, will radically change the political situation. Nov. 17 confirmed my assessment of the situation. The disgust with our conservative communist regime and the desire for change reached such a level that one event was enough to become a snowball that brought down an avalanche with it.
I cannot overstate the importance of the atmosphere of general understanding, tolerance and self-sacrifice that accompanied those days. To a large degree the atmosphere also reflected the idea of peaceful resistance as embodied by Charter 77. We have been building upon these foundations ever since. They cemented in the foundation of our new democracy — then Czechoslovak, today Czech — certain values, certain ideals that continue to exert their influence.
The first Czechoslovak President, Tomás Garrigue Masaryk, once wrote that states are sustained by those ideals by which they were established. And it may be true in this circumstance as well.


The original first Tenga fliphole created!

EEWW what's that green stuff all over those potatoes? Next time you walk into your supermarket, grocery store - you know, the place you buy food. Take look at the potatoes. I mean a real good look. Most likely they'll have a ting of green on 'em. This green stuff is a bitter tasting chemical called Solanine.
Solanine is produced when potatoes are subjected to light. Even fluorescent lighting found in your favorite food shopping establishment.
Potatoes grow under ground. As the plant matures we pile up soil around the plant to "hill" them. This protects the tubers and enables them to develop and not poke out of the ground.
Heavy irrigation and rains can wash your "hill" to uncover potatoes near the surface so cover 'em back up if this occurs.
If consumed in large quantities Solanine is toxic. That's why its important to cut away any green portions of a potato before you cook and consume.
Remember to store your potatoes out of exposed light to cut down on the Solanine.

Les communautés noires au Canada, également appelées les Canadiens Noirs, ou Afro-Canadiens, sont les citoyens canadiens, ou les résidents permanents du Canada ayant la peau noire. La majorité des canadiens Noirs ont des origines caraïbéennes et antillaises. Si on les regroupe, les canadiens Noirs forment le troisième groupe ethnique visible du Canada, après les Est-Asiatiques (principalement chinois) et les Sud-Asiatiques.

Les Canadiens d'origine jamaïcaine, haïtienne, trinidadienne et tobagonienne, somalienne, barbadienne,  , nigériane, ghanéenne et congolaise comptent parmi les groupes démographique les plus importants dans la communauté Afro-Canadienne.

Les différentes communautés noires canadiennes se concentrent principalement dans les centres urbains et dans l'Est du Canada. Selon le recensement de 2011, sur les  Canadiens interrogés,   (2,88 % de la population) s'identifient comme Noirs, dont  (41,99 % de ceux-ci) à Toronto,   (22,87 %) à Montréal et  (6,41 %) à Ottawa-Gatineau,  à Calgary,  à Edmonton,  à Vancouver,  à Hamilton,  à Winnipeg, et  à Halifax.

Le Canada, a provisoirement connu jusqu'à les Années 1950 des clauses restrictives en matière immobilière qui interdisaient la vente de propriétés à des Afro-Canadiens, à des Juifs Canadiens, ou à des immigrants Sino-Canadiens. Une certaine discrimination, minoritaire, persiste encore aujourd'hui en termes d'accès à l'emploi, ou à l'éducation pour la communauté noire canadienne.

Histoire

Premiers Noirs au Canada
Les premiers habitants noirs du Canada étaient des esclaves. Amenés de force au Canada entre 1629 et 1834, les esclaves noirs du Canada provenaient majoritairement des Antilles, des colonies anglaises ou de la Louisiane. Parallèlement, entre 1629 et 1865, plusieurs centaines de milliers de fugitifs afro-américains chercheront à s'établir sur le territoire canadien. Tous ont l'espoir d'y trouver une vie meilleure. Certains fuient leur condition d'esclave. D'autres, libres cette fois, fuient la discrimination raciale, les persécutions et les restrictions imposées par leur gouvernement. Partout au Canada, les réfugiés noirs, comme les premiers esclaves noirs contribueront à la formation de communautés actives et solidaires, dont plusieurs Canadiens sont les fiers descendants.

En Nouvelle-France et au Bas-Canada, les métissages et les mariages interraciaux entre Français et Noirs donnent lieu à une nombreuse descendance selon l'historien Frank Mackey. Les descendants des esclaves noirs ont maintenant la peau blanche. Ils portent des noms comme Carbonneau, Charest, Johnson, Lafleur, Lemire, Lepage, Marois et Paradis. Notons qu'un d'un point de vue américain, ils pourraient être considérés comme Noirs vu la règle de la goutte de sang.

Mathieu Da Costa
Mathieu Da Costa serait le premier Noir à avoir mis les pieds au Canada. Homme libre, Mathieu Da Costa parlait portugais, français, hollandais et probablement différentes langues autochtones, dont un dialecte commercial de contact, le pidgin basque. Cette aptitude lui permit de servir comme truchement (interprète) pour le compte de la France et de la Hollande. Dans le cadre de ses fonctions, Mathieu Da Costa fut amené à participer à plusieurs missions exploratrices et expéditions commerciales. Sans doute originaire du Cap-Vert en Afrique, il serait venu au Canada à plusieurs reprises.

En 1603, il aurait fait partie de l'expédition commandée par François Gravé du Pont. Puis, en 1606, engagé par contrat à Pierre Du Gua de Mons, titulaire du Monopole Royal en Nouvelle-France, Mathieu Da Costa aurait possiblement séjourné en Acadie.

Mathieu Da Costa aurait aussi, selon toute vraisemblance, accompagné Samuel de Champlain lors de son (ou ses) voyage(s) dans la région du Saint-Laurent.

À partir de 1609, les historiens perdent la trace de Mathieu Da Costa.

Esclaves

Olivier Le Jeune
La première référence officielle de la présence de Noirs au Canada est celle d'un homme noir (dit « nègre ») décédé du scorbut à Port-Royal (Acadie) entre 1606 et 1607. Cependant, rien ne permet d'affirmer si cet homme est un esclave ou un homme libre.

Le premier esclave noir identifié en Nouvelle-France est Olivier Le Jeune. En 1629, Olivier Le Jeune, originaire de Madagascar ou de Guinée, n'est encore qu'un enfant (âgé entre  ou , selon les sources) lorsqu'il est amené au Canada par David Kirke, lors de l'invasion anglaise de la Nouvelle-France. L'année suivante, Olivier Le Jeune est vendu à Le Baillif, un commis français à la solde des Anglais, pour la somme de cinquante écus. En 1632, le traité de Saint-Germain-en-Laye met fin à l'occupation anglaise de la Nouvelle-France. La même année, Le Baillif, sur le point de quitter la colonie, fait don d'Olivier Le Jeune à Guillaume Couillard, un des premiers habitants permanents établis en Nouvelle-France. En 1633, le jeune garçon, qui fréquente l'école des Jésuites, est baptisé selon le rite catholique romain. Lors de son baptême, il reçoit le prénom d'Olivier, probablement en l'honneur du commis général Olivier Letardif, et le patronyme de Le Jeune, en l'honneur du père Paul Le Jeune. Olivier Le Jeune est inhumé en 1654, à Québec. Il est alors enregistré comme domestique de Guillaume Couillard. Personne ne sait s'il est mort en esclave ou en homme libre.

D'ailleurs, jusque dans les années 1680, Olivier Le Jeune semble avoir été le seul homme Noir à avoir séjourné en Nouvelle-France. Le recensement de 1686, réalisé par l'intendant Jacques de Meulles, confirme la présence d'un deuxième esclave Noir en Nouvelle-France, un dénommé La Liberté.

Esclaves sous les régimes français et britannique

Au Canada, l'esclavage est introduit à la fin du  à la demande de quelques hauts fonctionnaires français, sans véritable succès. Durant le régime français, de 1629 à 1760, la présence noire sur le territoire canadien reste très limitée. Quelques centaines d'individus, tout au plus, y sont dénombrés. C'est sous le régime britannique que l'esclavage prend toute son importance, avec l'arrivée des esclaves noirs appartenant aux Loyalistes blancs venant ainsi gonfler le nombre d'esclaves déjà présents dans la colonie. Bien que l'esclavage existe bel et bien au Canada de 1629 à 1834, il n'a pas la même importance que dans les Antilles ou aux États-Unis.

En effet, contrairement aux Antilles françaises (1685), à la Guyane (1723) ou à la Louisiane (1724), aucun Code noir n'est adopté en Nouvelle-France. C'est plutôt l'ordonnance de l'intendant Raudot, adoptée en 1709, qui légalise l'esclavage. Puis, l'Article 47 de la capitulation de Montréal et une requête présentée à la chambre d'Assemblée en 1799 renforcent le caractère légal de l'esclavage.

Généralement possédés par des membres de l'élite coloniale urbaine (ex. : membres de l'administration publique, membre de la communauté d'affaire, communautés religieuses, etc.), les esclaves noirs permettent à leur propriétaire d'afficher leur statut social, d'étaler leur fortune ou leur réussite financière.

La majorité des esclaves noirs de la colonie sont employés comme domestiques et s'occupent des travaux ménagers (ex. : cuisine, nettoyage et éducation des enfants), tandis que les panis, les esclaves amérindiens, s'occupent des lourds travaux. Bien que pénibles, les conditions de vie et de travail des esclaves noirs au Canada diffèrent des conditions de vie et de travail vécues par les esclaves noirs des Antilles ou des États-Unis . La plupart du temps, leurs conditions de vie et de travail ressemblent à celles des domestiques blancs. Dans certains cas, même, une relation complexe entre maître et esclave peut être observée. La faible présence d'individus noirs aurait été à l'origine de cette attitude « ouverte » des propriétaires d'esclaves canadiens.

Réfugiés afro-américains
Un autre groupe, dont descend aujourd'hui plusieurs Canadiens noirs, est celui des réfugiés afro-américains arrivés par milliers entre 1770 et 1865.

Loyalistes noirs

En 1776, les Treize colonies anglaises d'Amérique du Nord s'unissent et proclament leur indépendance. Cependant, près du tiers des habitants des Treize colonies souhaitent rester fidèles à la Grande-Bretagne. La sécurité de ces derniers, considérés comme des traîtres, est alors menacée par les Rebelles américains.

Entre 1775 et 1785, environ  quittent les États-Unis. Certains immigrent en Grande-Bretagne ou dans d'autres territoires de possession britannique, comme les Antilles ou les Bermudes, alors que d'autres choisissent plutôt de s'établir en Amérique du Nord Britannique. Quelques milliers de Loyalistes décident de s'installer au Québec (ex. : Montréal et les Cantons-de-l'Est), mais la majorité d'entre eux, soit plus de , choisissent de s'établir en Nouvelle-Écosse. En s'installant au Canada, ils amènent avec eux  noirs, faisant ainsi considérablement gonfler le nombre d'esclaves noirs présents dans la colonie.

Parallèlement, quelque  noirs, ayant obtenu leur liberté en combattant aux côtés des Britanniques, choisissent de s'installer dans les Maritimes. En , afin de gonfler les rangs de l'armée britannique continentale, Lord Dunmore promet aux esclaves noirs l'obtention de leur liberté et de droits égaux. Sous ces conditions, plus de 300 Noirs rejoignent les rangs de l'armée britannique et forment l'Ethiopian Regiment et le Black Pionners. En échange du service rendu, la Grande-Bretagne s'engage également à donner aux Loyalistes, blancs comme noirs, une terre agricole. Les Loyalistes noirs s'installent dans les Maritimes et y fondent de véritables communautés indépendantes, comme à Birchtown.

Cependant, la plupart des Loyalistes noirs n'obtiennent pas leur terre. Quand ils en obtiennent une, elle est généralement de mauvaise qualité et trop petite : la superficie de ces terres, oscillant entre , les rendent impropres à la culture de subsistance. Cette situation contraint une vaste majorité de familles loyalistes noires à chercher du travail occasionnel comme métayers, domestiques ou ouvriers.

Les Loyalistes noirs qui se sont installés dans ces communautés souffrent de discrimination et de ségrégation raciale.

En 1792, frustrés par la situation,  noirs décident d'émigrer en Sierra Leone.

Underground Railroad
Entre 1780 et 1865, la majorité des Noirs établis au Canada sont des réfugiés ayant fui les persécutions, les violences et les lois discriminatoires (ex. : lois de 1793 et de 1850) des États esclavagistes des États-Unis. Pour passer au Nord, ces individus empruntent des routes clandestines, nommées underground railroad, qui suivent le développement du chemin de fer. Entre  noirs, esclaves ou libres, en provenance des États-Unis s'installent au Canada (principalement en Ontario) durant cette période. À la suite de la guerre de Sécession, la grande majorité de ces individus retournent aux États-Unis, l'esclavage y ayant été aboli.

Réfugiés de la guerre de 1812
Après la guerre de 1812, favorisé par une pénurie de main d'œuvre dans les Maritimes, un grand nombre de Noirs américains immigre au Canada. Entre 1812 et 1816, plus de  s'installent en Nouvelle-Écosse et au Nouveau-Brunswick.

Immigration récente
Un autre groupe de Canadiens noirs est issu de l'immigration récente.

En 1960, le gouvernement canadien adopte une politique qui met fin à la discrimination « fondée sur la race, la couleur, l'origine nationale, la religion ou le sexe ». À partir de 1962, la formation, l'instruction et les compétences sont les principaux critères d'admissibilité considérés lors de l'admission d'un nouvel immigrant. Puis, en 1967, le Canada abolit le système d'immigration basée sur la discrimination raciale. L'immigration est désormais ouverte à tous les immigrants autrefois interdits par la Loi de l'immigration de 1910. Dès lors, l'immigration des personnes noires augmente exponentiellement. En effet, à partir de 1960, favorisés par le contexte économique, des milliers d'Antillais, provenant principalement d'Haïti, de Jamaïque et d'Afrique, immigrent au Canada.
