Human Population Through Time
It took 200,000 years for our human population to reach 1 billion—and only 200 years to reach 7 billion. But growth has begun slowing, as women have fewer babies on average. When will our global population peak? And how can we minimize our impact on Earth’s resources, even as we approach 11 billion?

Art Project Breathes Life into Empty Buildings
(18 Nov 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus067189
(NATS)
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, ABANDONED HOMES IN UPSTATE NEW YORK BEGIN TO GLOW.
EVERY NIGHT... THE LIGHTS FADE IN AND OUT TO ILLUMINATE THE PROBLEM OF EMPTY BUILDINGS IN THE CITIES OF ALBANY, SCHENECTADY AND TROY.
(NATS)
ARTIST ADAM FRELIN THOUGHT UP THE BREATHING LIGHTS PROJECT WITH ARCHITECT BARBARA NELSON AND WON A $1 MILLION PUBLIC ARTS GRANT.
SOUNDBITE (English) Adam Frelin, Breathing Lights artist:
What also has been exciting is when people want to say what their first reaction was 'There was a lot believing the building was getting ready to explode, or there was like some power surge, or it was haunted.'
THE GHOSTLY EFFECT COMES FROM THOUSANDS OF LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN MORE THAN 150 VACANT BUILDINGS.
JERRY FORD HAS HELPED PROJECT ORGANIZERS IN HIS TROY NEIGHBORHOOD. HE HOPES THE LIGHTS HELP OTHERS SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE EMPTY HOMES.
SOUNDBITE (English) Jerry Ford, Breathing Lights volunteer
You look at it and most people will see an abandoned building, but this is abandoned families, this is abandoned community, this is where society really starts to see a breakdown.
THE BREATHING EFFECT LAST FOR FOUR HOURS AND ALLUDES TO THE LIFE OF THE CRUMBLING BUILDINGS AND TO THE PEOPLE NO LONGER THERE.
(NATS)
MANY NEIGHBORS SAY THE LIGHTS ARE A WELCOME ADDITION AND KEEP SQUATTERS AWAY. OTHERS WONDER IF THE MONEY COULD BE BETTER SPENT ELSEWHERE.
SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Franklin, Troy resident:
They need to put the money into the houses to get them fixed. You've got these people here can't sleep. They're sleeping on the streets, and this, they're trying to make it look pretty.
ORGANIZERS SAY THE MONEY CAME FROM AN ARTS GRANT AND NOTE A MILLION DOLLARS COULD ONLY RESCUE FOUR HOUSES.
THIS PROJECT INCLUDES HOME-BUYING WORKSHOPS AND AN ART SHOW AT SCHENECTADY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
(NATS)
THEY HOPE TO SPARK A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION ONCE THESE LIGHTS GO OUT FOR GOOD AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

Ogdensburg Historical Association highlights Preston King
Senator Preston King was born in Ogdensburgh on October 14, 1806 the illegitimate son of John King and Margaret Galloway. King graduated from Union College, Schenectady in 1827. He studied law under Silas Wright and practiced law in St. Lawrence County. He established the St. Lawrence Republican newspaper in 1830 and was postmaster of Ogdensburgh from 1831-1834. He was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1835; serving until 1838. King was an instigator of the Patriot War (1837-38), a revolution to sever Canada from Great Britain, going so far as to charter a boat to attempt to save American participants in the Battle of Windmill Point. As a Democrat he was elected to Congress for the first time in 1843. He served until 1847 and was elected again serving from 1849-1853, then was elected to the Senate as a Republican from 1857-1863.
At the end of the Civil War King demanded that Jefferson Davis, former president of the Confederate States of America, and other Confederate leaders be hanged for treason.
King was a close personal friend to President Andrew Johnson, living in the White House for a time. It was Johnson who appointed King collector of the Port of New York in 1865. Sadly, three months later Preston King committed suicide by jumping from a ferryboat into New York Harbor. He is buried at the Ogdensburgh Cemetery.

Driving Downtown - New Rochelle 4K - New York USA
Driving Downtown New Rochelle New York USA - Episode 44.
Starting Point: .
New Rochelle is a city in Westchester County, New York, United States. Many of the settlers were artisans and craftsmen from the city of La Rochelle, France, thus influencing the choice of the name of New Rochelle.
In November 2008 Business Week magazine listed New Rochelle as the best city in New York State, and one of the best places nationally, to raise children. In 2014, New Rochelle was voted the 13th best city to live in, out of 550 cities, and was the only city in Westchester County on the list.
Residential Profile
Some of the country's most expensive real estate can be found in New Rochelle. The north end of the city (10804) is ranked in Forbes magazine's list of the '500 most expensive zip-codes' in the country.[22] According to the list, the average household income was $199,061 and the average home price was over $752,000. Homes in Premium Point, a gated section of the city on Long Island Sound, are priced anywhere from $2 to $20 million. The three newest residential developments, 'Kensington Woods', 'The Greens at Cherry Lawn' and 'Riviera Shores', are all gated communities with single family homes priced from $2 million.
Economy
New Rochelle has been home to a variety of industries over the years, including: Thanhouser Film Studios, Terrytoons Studios, P.J. Tierney Diner Manufacturing (now DeRaffele Manufacturing Company), Flynn Burner Company, New York Seven Up (Joyce Beverages, Inc), RawlPlug, Inc., the Longines Symphonette Society, Conran's USA. Manufacturing and warehousing has declined since the 1990s as industrial land near both exits from Interstate 95 have been converted to big box retailer use. New Rochelle remains a center of business, home to the corporate headquarters of Sidney Frank Importing, Blimpies, East River Savings Bank, and Somnia Anesthesia Services.
Landmarks and Attractions
Columbia Island – a small island (appx. 150 feet (46 m) square) situated between Davids' Island and Pea Island. Up until 1940 it was known as Little Pea Island. CBS purchased it and built a concrete foundation to support a transmitter building topped by a 410-foot (120 m) tall antenna tower for WCBS-AM.[32][33] The transmitter remained in operation until the 1960s, when the station was moved to nearby High Island.
Execution Rocks Lighthouse – centered in the middle of Long Island Sound, just south of Davids' Island. The structure was built in 1849 and includes a 55-foot (17 m) tall tower and the ‘keeper's house’. It is rumored that the lighthouse's site got its name before the American Revolutionary War when British colonial authorities executed people by chaining them to the rocks at low tide and allowing the rising water to drown them. In reality, the name was chosen to reflect the historically dangerous shipping area created by the rocks exposure during low tides.
Huckleberry Island – a 10-acre (40,000 m2) island owned by the Huckleberry Indians, Inc., a club within the New York Athletic Club. The island is an important nesting site for waterbirds such as egrets and night herons.
Leland Castle – a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle built as the summer residence of Simeon Leland, a wealthy New York City hotel entrepreneur. It has since been acquired by the College of New Rochelle and is used as an art gallery available to the public.
St. John's Wilmot Church – a historic Episcopal parish located in the northern end of the City at the intersection of North Avenue and Wilmot Road, formerly referred to as “Cooper's Corner”.
Thomas Paine Historical Site – a historical nexus within the city, the site comprises: the country home of the American pamphleteer and Revolutionary War hero Thomas Paine, his burial site, monument, and a museum. Paine's Cottage was built in 1793 and is a National Historic Landmark. The Thomas Paine Memorial Building, built in 1925, houses the library and museum collection of the Thomas Paine National Historical Association. Also on the site is the Brewster Schoolhouse, one of the oldest structural relics in Westchester County.
Trinity-St. Paul's Episcopal Church – added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It is located at the northwest corner of Huguenot Street (also known as the Boston Post Road) and Division Street. This church represents the body of the majority group of New Rochelle's founding Huguenot French Calvanistic congregation that conformed to the liturgy of the established Church of England in June 1709. King George III gave Trinity its first charter in 1762. After the Revolutionary War, Trinity became a parish of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America.

wonder wasteland wilderness ~~~ reliablebowmusic
My Grandfather used to say that he had seen 48 states, and none compared in regards to beauty to New York State (I'm sure I'll hear about that!). My friend David and I took a field trip to Fort Stanwix in Rome, Ny and Fort Ticonderoga Ny back in October. One of the guides at Fort Stanwix recommended a book on the Mohawk River region during the French and Indian/ Revolution time period. The book is Bloody Mohawk. Living here all my life, I never really explored the history of this wonderful area...this book has got me started! Yet, any romanticism I had about that time period quickly faded, as i learned of the struggle ALL involved went through. This was a wild country, and the pushing and shoving only led to more pushing and shoving. When something really moves me, that is when the guitar and the pen and paper come out...this song is only a small snippet....thanks for listening and the best of New Years to You all....
wonder wasteland wilderness
old indian trails
we walked
from town to town
Cherry Valley to Oriskany
traveling up
West Canada Creek
then down to where
The Susquehanna and Chenango meet
Then we took our families
up river to Oquaga
built house there
the finest on the land
grew corn towering up
as high as the rising sun
horn of plenty overflowed
from hand to hand
trying to make our way through this wilderness
can we ford a stream cross this wasteland
followed by a river of blood with a serpents hand
who has a hold of every woman child and man
heard the telling of the trouble
on the Tenonanatche
there's a fighting struggle
searching for that Freedom trail
truth be known
no quarter shown
the mercies now all gone
all colors melted down
to a deathly pale
war party's coming
pillaging through Fort Stanwix
soldiers marching from Schenectady
both heading for us south
hope they won't retaliate
for ancient settlers settled
from across the seas
chorus
heard the King and Queen
met their Elders at the Battle of Newtown
ThePeople fled...moving out Niagara way
an offering of parley met
with a burning fire
and a blinding smoke
from that fume of blue
many with their lives would pay
interlude
chorus
now echoes fading
linger through that BeautifulHomeLand
from Lake Champlain
to the LandoftheBuffalo
as high as The Eagle flies
and deeper than the Low can know....
TheLonghouse is no more...
now we must go
a word fleshed out through those echoes kept
cries a still small voice will you waken from your death
heed the call of MercyChild
The Wonder of the wasteland wilderness
