In this video we go joking and exploring a location that was a CCC camp back in the 1930's and is now a public park in Massachusetts. There are some remains of the old barracks but the largest mark left upon the land is the changes made to the land. The CCC cut and replanted many trees and made beautiful dirt roads through all of these pars for people to use for recreation. On top of the history form the great depression era we must keep in mind that all of this land around here is very old. A good portion of it was colonial farm land dating back to the 1700s as well as into the 1800s. So lets go for a hike through the woods and explore the layers of time looking for signs of colonial life right up to present day.
CCC in New England
The Civilian Conservation Corps CCC was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed & unmarried men. The CCC was a huge part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that provided manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men to help relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States. In its nine years in operation, 3 million men participated in the CCC, which provided them with $30 a month salary.

A-10/ All In For Citizenship Rally in Washington, DC
The cry for comprehensive immigration reform in the United States is reaching a crescendo as activists await the imminent introduction of legislation in the Senate that could change millions of lives. Now that business and labor groups have come to an agreement about a proposed guest worker program, Senators Lindsay Graham and Chuck Schumer-- two members of the Gang of Eight leading the push for a bipartisan bill-- say that every major policy issue has been resolved, while Senator Marco Rubio, another member, believes reports of agreement are premature, but that the Senators are closer to a final draft of a bill. Roll Call reports that a bill may be unveiled as early as this week (the week of April 8-12).
Organizing for Action, a group pushing hard for reform, recently rallied across Florida to get an effective resolution that includes a map to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented workers in the United States. The group has put particular focus on demonstrating outside the offices of Senator Rubio and Rep. John Mica.
These rallies coincide with another demonstration to be held by a coalition of groups under the name A10 and All in for Citizenship next week. On April 10th, thousands of individuals are gathering in Washington, DC, in front of the Capitol, to support a roadmap to citizenship whereby qualified immigrants can earn full rights and responsibilities in the United States.
Here are the A10 rally details from CREDO action:
What: Rally in DC in support of real immigration reform.
When: 3 p.m. - 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 10.
Where: West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC

5 Scary People Caught Living In The Basement
Ah - there’s a reason that the basement features so prominently throughout horror literature. The cellar, the hidden crypt - the dark underbelly of what lurks beneath. As kids - we know that horror lies waiting in the darkness, and that culminates - for many of us - with a fear of the basement. Well - in surprisingly many cases - that fear is vindicated in some absolutely terrifying stories of people finding out exactly what lurks below. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, better known as A&P, was an American chain of grocery stores that ceased supermarket operations in November 2015, after 156 years in business. From 1915 through 1975, A&P was the largest grocery retailer in the United States (and until 1965, the largest U.S. retailer of any kind). A&P was considered an American icon that, according to The Wall Street Journal, was as well known as McDonald's or Google is today, and was the Walmart before Walmart. Known for innovation, A&P and the supermarkets that followed its lead significantly improved nutritional habits by making available a vast assortment of food products at much lower costs. Until 1982, A&P also was a large food manufacturer. In his 1952 book, American Capitalism, John Kenneth Galbraith cited A&P's manufacturing strategy as a classic example of countervailing power that was a welcome alternative to state price controls.Founded in 1859 by George Gilman as Gilman & Company, within a few years the firm opened a small chain of retail tea and coffee stores in New York City, and operated a national mail order business. The firm grew to 70 stores by 1878, when Gilman passed management to George Huntington Hartford, who turned A&P into the country's first grocery chain. In 1900, it operated almost 200 stores. After Hartford acquired ownership, A&P grew dramatically by introducing the economy store concept in 1912, growing to 1,600 stores in 1915. After World War I, it added stores that offered meat and produce, while expanding manufacturing.
In 1930, A&P, now the world's largest retailer, reached $2.9 billion in sales with 16,000 stores. In 1936, it adopted the self-serve supermarket concept and opened 4,000 larger stores (while phasing out many of its smaller units) by 1950.A&P's decline began in the early 1950s, when it failed to keep pace with competitors that opened larger supermarkets with more modern features demanded by customers. By the 1970s, A&P stores were outdated, and its efforts to combat high operating costs resulted in poor customer service.
In 1975, it hired outside management, closed older stores, and built modern ones. When these efforts failed to turn A&P around, the heirs of the Hartford family and the Hartford foundation, which owned a majority of the stock, sold to the Tengelmann Group of Germany.
In 1981, A&P launched its second store-closing program financed by the surplus assets of its employee pension plan, reducing the corporation to fewer than 1,000 stores. The plan also closed manufacturing operations except coffee production.Starting in 1982, A&P acquired several chains that continued to be operated under their own names, rather than being converted to A&P. While A&P regained profitability in the 1980s, in 2002 it operated at a record loss because of new competition, especially from Walmart. A&P closed more stores, whi ...

the 13 Scariest Haunted Houses in America
???? The 13 Scariest Haunted Houses In America! ????
1. Amityville Horror House
In 1974, six members of the DeFeo family were found shot to death inside this stately home. Ronald DeFeo Jr., 23 at the time of the brutal killings, was later convicted of murdering his parents and four siblings.
2. Myrtles Plantation
Since it was built in 1797, the sprawling southern estate has been home to multiple owners as well as countless deaths and murders.
Today, visitors have an opportunity to take a day or evening tour, or even stay over at the bed and breakfast for a chance to sample a side of the occult with their coffee and pastries.
3. The Joshua Ward House
Located in Salem, Massachusetts, one of the most haunted locales in the United States, the Joshua Ward House has earned a reputation for inhabiting the spirit of none other than George Corwin, the High Sheriff during the Salem Witch Trials. Corwin, aka “the Strangler,” is said to be responsible for the gruesome killings of more than a dozen men.
4. The LaLaurie House
It was inside this three-story Creole mansion that Delphine reportedly tortured slaves, causing one to jump to her death.
5. The Lemp Mansion
Built in the 1860s, it was the home of brewing magnates who had a history of suicide in the family. In fact, three are said to have died inside the home, which currently houses a restaurant where murder mystery dinner theater takes place. Paranormal tours are offered as well.
6. Franklin Castle
This Queen Anne-style Victorian is known as the most haunted home in Ohio. While he lived there, Hans Tiedermann, a German immigrant, lost multiple children under mysterious circumstances. Despite the charm of the exterior, the Cleveland-based home is said to be filled with spirits.
7. The Lizzie Borden House
Located in Falls River, Massachusetts, the Lizzie Borden house is where, in 1892, Borden was believed to have murdered her father and step-mother with an axe in their home. Though she was acquitted, Borden was never able to shake her reputation as a cold-blooded killer.
Those who are brave enough can visit this home, now a bed and breakfast, and stay in the room where the couple slept or the room where Borden’s step-mother was found after the grisly murder.
8. The Kreischer Mansion
By Thomas Altfather Good (Original Work) [GFDL or CC BY-SA 4.0-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0], via Wikimedia Commons
This Staten Island, New York home has been the site of multiple deaths, including a suicide and a murder. The otherwise-charming Victorian is said to be haunted by the spirits of those who died within its confines. Despite its history, the home, set on five acres, was listed at $9.5 million in 2016. Ghosts included.
9. The Logan Inn
This Bucks County, Pennsylvania inn reportedly receives frequent visits from its most famous ghost, Emily, the daughter of a previous owner, who lived in room 6 and died in that very room as well.
Capitalizing on its haunted history, the inn hosts monthly dinners featuring a medium who delivers messages from beyond. Intrepid guests can spend the weekend and even sleep in room 6 where visitors have noted the scent of smoke, which could be attributed to the military men who once stayed there during the 1700s, and flowers, a favorite decoration of Emily’s.
10. Winchester Mystery House
Filled with dark passages and spider web windows, this home in San Jose, California has had millions of visitors pass through its spooky hallways. Guests can take part in a Friday the 13th flashlight tour or a Halloween candlelight tour and see if they discover any of the phenomenons that have made the house infamous with mystery lovers and fans of unique architecture alike.
11. The Whaley House
This Old Town San Diego-based home is said to be among the most haunted in the U.S. as it’s the site where a northern criminal named Jim Robinson was hanged. To this day, he’s said to haunt the home, which you can tour — if you’re feeling brave.
12. The Octagon Museum
Known for its innovative architecture and beautiful but haunted spiral staircase, the Octagon Museum in Washington D.C. is said to be haunted by at least two ghosts. One is believed to be Dolly Madison, while the other is the daughter of a colonel who fought with her father about her love for a British soldier and fell to her death in that famous staircase.
13. Culbertson Mansion
Located in New Albany, Indiana, this stunning mansion will have you swooning over that Mansard roof, but what lurks inside? Well, for starters, there's an occupied coffin in the cellar. Creeped out yet? Even scarier, lightning struck the property’s carriage house in the 1880s, killing everyone inside. Those who lost their lives are said to haunt the place ever since.

Filmed at the 2007 reunion of the 376th Heavy Bombardment Group, Inc. Veterans Association.
The 376th Heavy Bombardment Group Oral Histories includes audio and video oral histories with veterans serving in the 376th Heavy Bombardment Group during World War II. Attached to the United States 15th Air Force and based in North Africa and later in southern Italy, this bomb group flew 451 missions against Germany and its Axis allies between 12 June 1942 and 15 April 1945. Among the key targets bombed by the 376th Heavy Bombardment were Ploesti, Vienna, Moosierbaum, and the Brenner Pass. Pilots, co-pilots, navigators, bombardiers, flight engineers, gunners, and grounds crewmen of the 376th's four squadrons -- 512th, 513th, 514th, and 515th -- are represented in these interviews. Two additional interviews with Edward Clendenin and Kim Hobbs, both sons of deceased veterans, provide background and context for the oral history collection. The goal of this project was to preserve the memories of the airmen and grounds crewmen for their families, students, scholars, and future generations of Americans.
The interviews were conducted during the annual reunion of the 376th Heavy Bomb Group Veterans Association in September 2007 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and during the annual reunion in September 2010 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Edward Clendenin, Kim Hobbs, Toni Schmidt, Chris Reidy, and David Ulbrich conducted the interviews with the veterans; and Mr. Reidy and Robert Fultz served as videographers. Dr. Ulbrich organized this project through Ball State University with generous financial and administrative support from the 376th HBG Veterans Association and from Ball State's History Department, Military Science Department, University Teleplex, and Archives and Special Collections.

Underground Marijuana Growing Operation in Arlington
RAW video from Sky 4 of an underground marijuana growing operation. From DPS: At approximately 9 a.m. today, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Special Agents served a search warrant in the 5800 Block of Magnum Drive in Arlington. While serving the search warrant, an illegal underground marijuana grow was located in the back yard of the residence being searched.
The marijuana was found in an underground room that was completely separate from the residence. It was approximately 20 feet from the house in the backyard covered by an outdoor patio. Under the patio was a covering that led to a hole that was approximately 9 feet deep. A ladder led to the bottom of the underground location. The underground opening where the Marijuana was being grown was approximately 14 ft. by 8 ft. and contained around 100 plants.
Arlington Fire Dept. was called to the scene to ensure the underground location was structurally secure while agents collect evidence.
Two individuals were arrested at the residence: Tri Vo, age 31 and Jlicia Perry, age 26. Both suspects were transported to the Tarrant County Jail for cargo theft (Texas Penal Code 31.18). The investigation is currently underway and additional charges may be forthcoming.
