The US-Canada Border Splits This Road Down The Middle
Rue Canusa (or Canusa Avenue) is a street that's split in two by a border: the northern part is in Stanstead, Canada, and the southern part is in Derby Line, USA — and border crossings here aren't as easy as they used to be.

The Convent Angels Nest Bed & Breakfast Rome NY 315 334 4618
Located in Rome, NY at the foot of the Adirondack mountains, gateway to the beautiful Mohawk Valley, and just 13 miles from Utica, Angels Nest B&B is a spacious, mello-brick, two-story building constructed in 1950 and dedicated in July, 1951, as the Transfiguration of Our Lord Convent to house the Felicaian nuns of Rome, New York. In its resurrection as a bed and breakfast, Angels Nest features five guest bedrooms while retaining many of its original features, such as the chapel, complete with pews and stained-glass windows.
Eclectic Treasures:
Filled to bursting with eclectic treasures from the life and travels of Innkeeper Mary O. Davis, Angels Nest oozes exotic charm. The middle east theme of the guest living room features an antique brass Mongol. The formal dining room displays oriental prints. Sophie’s Room is decorated with antique Turkish carpets and objects de arts. Each guest bedroom has its own unique motif.
Commercial Travelers, Tourists, or Visitors:
If there is one thing Innkeeper Mary O. Davis understands, it’s the needs of the commercial traveler: For many of her years working for the United States Government overseas, Mary was on the road up to three weeks every month!
“When guests cross my threshold, I’m here to lend a hand,” says Mary. “Nothing ever will be as good as being in your own home, but I want the Convent to be a close second.” Whether it’s an aspirin or a doctor, an iron or a dry cleaner, a stapler, or a copy center, Mary will do her best to help you out.
Exotic Charm and Tranquility - It is more than a bedroom:
Unlike many hotels and motels, guests at The Convent are not just renting a room. Our guests seem to feel comfortable enough to actually use the full facilities! Whether what you’re looking for is a little conversation, some recreation, entertainment, or a little quiet time, we have a place where you’ll find what you want.
You can enjoy:
• The Recreation/Leisure Center which houses TV/VCR, reading materials, music center, a ping pong table, assorted games and cards, computer hook-up, a small conference/work area.
• A visit to the Chapel.
• Exercise on the treadmill, stair climber, stationary bicycle or cross-country machine in the exercise room. For those who are accustomed to the ritual of sauna bathing, one is available, however, the sauna may not be used without a non-liability statement.
• A late-spring through mid-fall stroll on the spacious green lawn, the English style flower garden where comfortable furniture and an open-air tent have been set up on the back lawn under sprawling maple trees–or just basking on the deck.

19th Century Reforms: Crash Course US History #15
In which John Green teaches you about various reform movements in the 19th century United States. From Utopian societies to the Second Great Awakening to the Abolition movement, American society was undergoing great changes in the first half of the 19th century. Attempts at idealized societies popped up (and universally failed) at Utopia, OH, New Harmony, IN, Modern Times, NY, and many other places around the country. These utopians had a problem with mainstream society, and their answer was to withdraw into their own little worlds. Others didn't like the society they saw, and decided to try to change it. Relatively new protestant denominations like the Methodists and Baptists reached out to the unchurched during the Second Great Awakening, and membership in evangelical sects of Christianity rose quickly. At the same time, Abolitionist societies were trying to free the slaves. Americans of the 19th century had looked at the world they were living in, and decided to change it.

Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. Of all of the reform movements of the 1800s, few were as impactful as the movement to abolish slavery:
Women were heavily involved in
the abolitionist movement, and firsthand stories like freed slave Harriet Ann Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl were important to the cause:

Sheldon Peck Portrait of an Ordinary Man in Extraordinary Times

Sheldon Peck, Portrait of an Ordinary Man in Extraordinary Times tells the story of Lombard, Illinois’ most famous son, 19th century primitive portrait artist, radical abolitionist, progressive temperance and public education advocate and conductor on the underground railroad, Sheldon Peck.
Sheldon Peck, Portrait of an Ordinary Man in Extraordinary Times, is a story infused with a humanity that resonates today. Largely forgotten in the century after his death in 1868, Sheldon Peck and his legacy have seen a revival and renewed appreciation that recognizes his talent, passion, courage and vision. It's a story of American western expansion in the days of manifest destiny and how one man embraced the important issues of his day and was not afraid to speak out or get personally involved when and where he saw injustice.
This documentary was a labor of love. In August, 2018 I moved my 11 year old video production business a few miles east, from Glen Ellyn to Lombard, Illinois, the town were we have lived since the early 1990's, raised our three children and actively participated in church, school and little leagues.
Julie (my spouse) and I were having dinner at a new restaurant, Babcock's Grove, in the old Lombard Hotel on the corner of St. Charles Road and Park, Avenue. It was a beautiful summer evening. The downtown was buzzing with vitality. Seated at our outdoor table we were remarking out energized Lombard's downtown had become. The new $9.7 million dollar Metra Station and pedestrian tunnel, street lighting, restaurants and creative businesses made for a place people wanted to congregate.
That's when I saw building owner Tom Smith's 2 South Park Avenue office-for-rent sign on the door next to Babcock's grove. One thing led to another and I wound up moving into Lombard's oldest commercial building (1858) in one of the coolest office spaces in DuPage County. God is good.
Being a hopeless history buff and the producer of many historical documentaries, I was looking for a way to introduce my video production business to my new/old home town. A google search revealed that the story of Sheldon Peck, had never been told in the documentary format. A phone call to the Lombard Historical Society led to an introduction with Executive Director Sarah Richardt who enthusiastically endorsed the idea and then proceeded to assist us at every turn as we told the story and tracked down experts and images.
Thanks to all those who helped put this story together. Check the credits for a listing.

6. Malthusian Times
Global Problems of Population Growth (MCDB 150)
In many regions, the central cultural idea is that of a lineage, a family and its line of male ancestors and descendants. The prime duty in these cultures is to keep the lineage going. Religion is small scale with the ancestors performing many of the functions of gods. Denser populations and larger political entities lead to large-scale religion where conformity is stressed and cultural rules are codified in a book and not subject to discussion with the ancestors. In pre-modern Sub-Saharan Africa, land was not limiting, so a maximum number of children was desired. Neither monogamy nor chastity were valued as much as fertility. Families were not nuclear; husbands and wives did not engage in many activities together; children were often raised by other members of the village and women had the responsibility for economic support of the children. In many areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, farming is the work of women. Women often prefer men with resources which leads to polygamy. Women in polygamous relationships form support groups for each other and men enjoy the fruits of several women's labor and children. In temperate regions, the land eventually fills up and the dangers of overpopulation come to the fore. Peasants are miserably poor. Massive epidemics (the Black Death, 1347 and onward) and wars (the Catholic-Protestant wars, 1562-1648) can kill a third of the population.

Fred Turner: Media Against Fascism: From World War II to the Psychedelic Sixties | Talks at Google
In January, 1967, tens of thousands of hippies and their friends gathered in Golden Gate Park for a festival of love, dancing and psychedelia called the Human Be-In. Many have argued that the Be-In marked the start of the American counterculture, but Fred Turner reveals that the Be-In was actually the endpoint of an American assault on Fascism that began with World War II.
Turner tracks this surprising trajectory through the work of Margaret Mead, John Cage and the refugee artists of the Bauhaus. He reveals the long-forgotten history of anti-fascist multimedia in America – and with it, an essential historical context for understanding our current digital age.
