SCHENECTADY ​ — The Schenectady County⁣ Legislature is excited to announce that applications for the Arts & ‍Culture ⁤Grant program are now being accepted.

Previously recognized as the ‍County Initiative Program, these grants have been a significant source of support for nonprofit organizations, school districts, and local municipalities. Since ⁣2002, over $950,000 has been​ awarded to⁢ more than 750⁢ projects that focus on arts, ‌culture, and tourism, funded by a portion of the county’s hotel and motel occupancy tax collections.

The​ revamped program introduces ⁣new criteria,‌ broadening the range of⁣ programs that can ​qualify for funding. Applicants now have the opportunity to apply for⁤ funding ⁤for ⁢up to two projects, which can‍ be a single event⁣ or‌ a series ⁣of events.⁢ Additionally,​ artists and groups without nonprofit ‍status⁤ can⁢ collaborate ‌with a qualifying agency, as per the latest news release.

In a new development ⁤this year, a single agency can now partner with multiple community organizations to assist them in‍ securing ⁣grant funding.

In⁢ the previous year,​ numerous projects were funded under this program, including⁤ the town of Glenville’s annual Oktoberfest, ​the Boys‍ & Girls Club of Schenectady’s Steinmetz Park Family Fun Day, ​and the ‌Rotterdam PBA’s annual National Night ‍Out ⁢event.

“We have ⁤restructured​ our ⁣grant program to increase accessibility and ⁢magnify its impact on our‌ communities, families, and tourism. This modification ensures that a⁤ broader ⁣range of⁣ events, programs, and organizations can benefit, thereby enriching the cultural fabric ​of our community,” stated‍ Richard Ruzzo, a District 1 legislator‌ who also serves as the vice-chair of the Tourism, Arts & Special Events Committee.

Organizations that wish ​to apply must be a 501(c) ‍3 non-profit, school district, municipality, or​ community organization that hosts an event or ⁤programming in Schenectady County. The event or programming should be​ aimed at ⁤performing, literary, visual ⁣or cultural arts, historic education, or anything that would boost Schenectady County tourism.

Applications ⁣can be found online on the county’s website and must be submitted by‍ March 14. For any queries, please email: legislature@schenectadycountyny.gov.

  26. Both Tasmanian casino venues boast multiple blackjack tables
    across their gaming floors and both complex’s offer accommodation, fine dining restaurants and exclusive
    bars, shows and live entertainment, and much more.
    You will have a five-day free trial available, during which time you can enjoy all the app’s features.
    But, most promos simply offer greater rewards for playing selected games during the promo time
    than it would on any other day.
    As mentioned above, this version of Microsoft Word
    added a number of new features with respect to the 2013 version. In order to use all of Microsoft Word 2016’s features,
    you will need to log in with your email address and have
    an active Microsoft 365 subscription. These features
    have made creating, editing, and collaborating on Word documents much easier.

    Microsoft Word 2016 brings in a few new features that its predecessors lacked.
    Word 2016 offers real-time grammar and style suggestions, enhanced formatting options, and an intuitive user interface for easy navigation across tools and tabs.

    Merging advanced features with familiar tools, Microsoft Word 2016 for Windows caters to everyone,
    from students to professionals.
    Blackjack tournaments are also a chief feature at the
    Country Club Casino, typically boasting a minimum $3,000
    prize pool (often much more) and also organised in a three elimination heats then finals table format (scheduled at specific times).

    Tables are open from 2pm to 1am Sundays to Thursday, and
    from 1pm to 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. Tasmania is home to two licensed land based casino venues – the Wrest Point Hotel Casino in Hobart and the Country Club Casino in Launceston. Dive in the deep end
    of the pool, and enjoy the wading pool, sauna, and spa hot tub.

  27. Binge Android smart device and streaming platform- both were
    developed by Genex Infosys. Users can avail of the service both in monthly and yearly subscription plans.
    On 21 May 2020, the streaming platform launched by the name, “Binge”.
    The Robi/Airtel network is also GPRS/EDGE/3G-enabled, with
    a growing 4G network, allowing internet access
    within its coverage area. As of August 2024, Robi has a total
    of 18,473 Mobile Network Tower or BTS across the country.

    In 2018, when Mobile number portability was introduced, users can port
    to any operator without changing number. This was soon followed by Grameenphone, which became the second operator to do
    so. On 1 September 2025, Robi became the first telecom operator to launch
    5G in Bangladesh, with initial rollouts in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet.
    Finally Robi and Airtel were merged on 16 November 2016 and Robi set sail as the merged company.
    On 28 March 2010, ‘AKTEL’ was rebranded as ‘Robi’ which means “sun” in Bengali.

  28. The vibrant color scheme and intuitive interface contribute to an immersive gaming experience.
    Yes, most slots and RNG table games are available in demo mode without using real money.

    Before starting play, always familiarise yourself with
    complete rules and remember responsible gaming! On the other
    hand, complaints most often concern the offshore licence,
    which for some players is a matter of principle, withdrawal limits
    and high wagering requirements.
    You can also walk down along the road to the lake and
    you will find another cafe/restaurant where
    you can sit, relax, and enjoy the sight of Lake Goygol up close.
    There is a nice viewpoint at the Goygol Hotel Restaurant overlooking the lake from above,
    so be sure to walk by there after the taxi drops you off.
    You can reach the lake by taxi, but the taxi will only go
    as far as the parking lot, and then you will have to continue on foot.

  29. In 2025, it was one of the films voted for the “Readers’ Choice” edition of The New
    York Times’ list of “The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century,” finishing
    at number 144. In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named Casino Royale
    the 19th-best film of the past 25 years. In 2009, UK ice cream company Del Monte Superfruit Smoothies
    launched an ice pop lolly moulded to resemble the upper torso
    of Bond, a reference to the scene of him emerging from the sea.
    In December 2006, Casino Royale was named the best film of the year by viewers of Film 2006.

    The final scene reintroduces Bond’s iconic line, “The name’s Bond, James Bond,” signifying his complete transformation into the
    legendary spy. Vesper sacrifices herself to save Bond,
    leaving him heartbroken and determined to track down the organization responsible for her manipulation and death.

    Despite a setback where Le Chiffre initially wins the pot, Bond ultimately triumphs with the help
    of Vesper and CIA agent Felix Leiter. Meanwhile, Bond foils a terrorist plot
    at Miami International Airport, preventing a devastating explosion. Directed by Martin Campbell, the film rebooted the franchise, bringing a fresh and gritty realism that diverged from
    the fantastical elements of previous entries. All additional cruise fare, if
    applicable, online booking fee, if applicable, port expenses,
    applicable fuel surcharges, taxes and fees must be paid
    in full to receive a stateroom confirmation and apply to each guest.

    Ratoff commissioned Lorenzo Semple Jr. to write a script, but both men thought Bond was “unbelievable” and “stupid”.
    In November 1952, several months before the publication of his first James
    Bond novel Casino Royale, Ian Fleming purchased the small theatrical agency Glidrose Productions Limited to produce
    a screen adaptation of the novel. The film proved to be
    young Anjelica Huston’s first experience in the film industry as she was called upon by her father,
    John Huston, to cover the screenshots of Kerr’s hands.
    John Hollis, who plays the temple priest in Mata Bond’s hall, went on to play the implied Ernst
    Stavro Blofeld character in the pre-credits sequence of For Your
    Eyes Only. Caroline Munro, seen very briefly as one of Dr Noah’s gun-toting guards, went on to play Naomi in The Spy Who Loved Me, and also appears with other models on the
    cover of the 1969 Pan Books edition of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
    As Sir James and his agents appear in Heaven, Evelyn sees Jimmy and sends him descending to Hell.
