THAT BLOGGLES MY MIND…
Meeting Mr. Kelly….
This post is a departure of what we usually write about here on this blog but it goes along with the theme and mission of our Fredette Family Foundation…. and that is to help and be of service to one another in any way that we can.
I want to tell you of an unexpected time that I had the opportunity to help and be of service to someone. I'm not sure that I told my children (maybe I mentioned it in passing to Lindsay, my daughter) but if they read this they will read it for the first time. This is not to brag about helping someone, but rather I'm considering it a blessing for me to help this man named Mr. Kelly, who I've never forgotten, even though it was more than 20 years ago. On this day he called me his guardian angel. Let's just say that I received much more than I gave to him. This is my story.
The time of year was in late Fall when the nights were starting to get very cool. For some reason, and I can't even remember why, I was coming in on the Amtrak train from NYC to the Ft. Edward, NY station, about 50 miles north of Albany. My husband was scheduled to pick me up at 9:00 PM. Finally we got to my stop and I exited the train. I was the only person that was to get off there…so I thought. My husband was not there yet but I knew that he would be coming along soon, so I stood under the overhang of the rooftop of the station. This particular station and its services for passengers coming in had been long since abandoned and there was no activity or signs of life around this old, crooked, dark building. The only light I had was from the street light that was adjacent to me.
Usually when all of the passengers exit the train at their destinations, the door closes swiftly behind them and they take off immediately. This night they didn't speed away as I expected. I noticed when I exited and turned around to face the train about 20 feet away, in the light of the doorway, stood the conductor talking to a man. He was a smallish older gentleman with white hair. As I observed them further, I noticed that the white haired man had an oxygen tank that he wheeled along side of him. They spoke for a few minutes and I could sense that there was a desperate aura around both of them. From the hand gestures of the older man, I could tell that he was upset over something. The conductor seemed to be in a quandary as to what to do because he was under pressure to keep the schedule of the train.
Finally the conductor looked out of the train and spotted me standing there under the very dimly lit area. He came out to me carrying the man's suitcase, set it down beside me, and asked if I could help this man. He needs a ride. To his great relief, I said sure I'll help him. The conductor assisted the man out of the train with his oxygen tank and they both came over. The conductor thanked me and the man just nodded with a smile. I hadn't even done anything yet, but I guess I relieved the anxiety that both of them were experiencing at the time. I felt no fear of this small, white haired stranger even though it was just him and I in an area with very little light. How afraid would anyone be of a small old man with tubes in his nose from the oxygen tank that assisted him with his breathing? The conductor waved to us, hurried back to the train and it soon departed.
The man and I introduced ourselves and as he told me his name, both first and last, all I picked up was his last name….Kelly. So I just called him Mr. Kelly. He was a very friendly, animated man and it didn't take me long to notice that he didn't speak like a person from the USA. He had a thick accent that was unmistakable to me as to where he was from. I could hear that he was from England and I was guessing, but almost certain, that he was from a particular part of England because he spoke just like The BEATLES did! Not like the royal family British accent, but from Beatle-land!!!…. Liverpool, England!!! Anyone that knows my group of friends from our teenage years, knows that we LOVED the Beatles. We actually were able to go to Shea Stadium, thanks to one of my aunts who lived in that area, to see them in concert. Yes, we were fanatics and picking up on someone else that spoke in that particular accent and dialect was easy! It's like the difference in how a person from Brooklyn, NY speaks as opposed to upstate NY. Very different and very distinguishable. So I proceeded to ask him where he was from….sure enough, he was from Liverpool, England!
Mr. Kelly told me that he was under the impression that there would be a full service train station here and that he would be able to catch a taxi or a shuttle service to get to his hotel. It was then that I realized how desperate and fearful he must have felt as he looked out the window of the train approaching his stop. It was not filled with the activity of a full service train station, but rather a dark, desolate, empty train station. Ft. Edward, NY is a great, friendly, little town, but it's a very small town where most people settle in for the night and there is not much action on the streets. Anyone of us can imagine the fear that Mr. Kelly must have felt being in, not only in an unknown dimly lit town, but in an unknown country. An able bodied Mr. Kelly could have gotten some help somewhere by someone…. but this was a vulnerable, weakened man depending on oxygen to keep him alive.
He was here to have a reunion with some of his old friends and they choose to meet in beautiful Lake George, NY. Seemed like it was on their "bucket list" to meet one last time. When I look back I think about the determination and great desire he had to fulfill this last journey in his life. It clearly wasn't an easy trip for him to make. Since his friends also weren't very familiar with this area, they assumed Mr. Kelly would not have a problem getting a taxi to bring him up to the hotel. This was back in the days when we didn't have the convenience of calling someone on their cell phone.
My husband, Al, soon arrived and I told him that we needed to give this man a ride up to Lake George. If you know Al, you know how kind and charitable he is. He would have carried the man up there on his back if he had to just to help him out, so of course he said… "hop in, no problem." Mr. Kelly insisted that we didn't need to do that but rather just give him a ride to where he could make a phone call or to a taxi service. He was such a nice man and so grateful just to be in contact with people willing to help him in this strange, unfamiliar country. We wouldn't hear of that and gave him a ride straight up to the Lake George hotel.
We let him sit in the front seat to make it easier on him with his oxygen tank and put his luggage in the back. I sat in the middle of the back seat so I could eagerly lean forward to hear him talk. I so enjoyed hearing that accent. Of course it didn't take me long to ask the big question. I couldn't resist. After all, he was from the land of The Beatles. "Did you ever see the Beatles play in Liverpool?" I asked. He laughed a little and was very forthcoming with his stories about the Beatles. I was thrilled to hear, yes, he did see them. He called them "lads" and said he saw them before they were called "The Beatles". He said they were called the Quarrymen and several other names before they settled on The Beatles. I knew he was right because I was an expert on the history of The Beatles. They were just starting out when Mr. Kelly would see them and there were guys that were in and out of the original band. They were a work in progress but they were beginning to become popular in the area "pubs," as he called them. Little did Mr. Kelly know how popular they would become. He said that many similar group bands were springing up all over Liverpool and all over the whole country of England. It was called the British Invasion when they began to filter into the United States. If you grew up anywhere near the 60s, you are well aware of those times. What great music that was and actually still is. It was like a walk back to my teen years as Mr. Kelly talked. So we very much enjoyed our conversation with his lively personality with an intriguing Liverpool accent. He called it a "scouser" accent for those of you interested in looking it up. Just a thought I've always had….have you ever noticed that when a person that has a British accent or any accent, sings, the accent goes away? Interesting how that happens. It definitely happened in the Beatles' music.
Finally we arrived up at the hotel in Lake George. We helped him in and waited to make sure that his friends were there. They were….and he invited them down to meet us. Very nice also and were grateful after they heard that there was no transportation for Mr. Kelly at the station other than us….he obviously was their much loved friend. They asked us if they could take us to dinner the next night but unfortunately we weren't able to do that. Before we left, we exchanged addresses so we could maybe keep in touch. The next day sometime during late morning, I got a knock on the door. As I looked out, I saw a big beautiful bouquet of flowers ready to be delivered to me. I looked at the card and it read…."To my guardian angel." Thank you….(signed) Mr. Kelly
I think when he got back to England, we wrote at least one time to each other but that was it. Mr. Kelly was not a well man. He told us of a heart problem that he had and after listening to him struggle to breathe, I understood that this trip was probably the last trip that he would take. I felt strongly that he probably passed away a couple of months after he arrived home.
Some might say how lucky he was to have me there to help him to his destination…. but I say how lucky and blessed I was to meet such a wonderful, lovely, friendly man like Mr. Kelly. I'm sure that 100% of those reading this would have done the same thing to help this man, so I don't feel special in that way, but I feel like maybe I was meant to be there at that time to meet him. What a blessing and a privilege it was for me.
I think that opportunities and certain special situations in life are all about timing. Some good, some bad. You hear people say that you were in the "right place at the right time" and you also hear about being in the "wrong place at the wrong time." I think that we sometimes find ourselves in a situation on God's perfect timing. My husband is never late and he is very respectful of me when it comes to picking me up….but on this night, for the first time, he was late. If he hadn't been late, I would have been gone and there would have been no one there to help this man…. who actually reminded me of my father. I believe that was an example of God's timing.
Mr. Kelly said that I was "his guardian angel" and I'd like to think that that was true. I wasn't a guardian angel in the mystical sense where I appeared out of nowhere then magically disappeared. (although I believe that can happen and has happened to people). There used to be a song back in the Oldies era called "Earth Angel". I think that's maybe what I was…an earth angel for Mr. Kelly. Every single one of us has the chance or potential to be someone else's "earth angel". Those opportunities present themselves to us every day. A kind word or a kind gesture may be all it takes to change someone's day…. or even someone's life.
Would Mr. Kelly have made it to his hotel in Lake George without my help? Yes maybe he would have, but not without much fear and anxiety for him. I think he would have had to sit down on someone's porch steps so that he could rest. The center of town where he may have possibly found a phone or a place open, was about a quarter of a mile away….that's over 1300 steps that this poor man would have had to take wheeling his oxygen tank and carrying his luggage through an unknown, lonely, dark street. He would have had to choose whether to go left or right, and if he guessed wrong, it would have taken him on an even longer route. The average person would have no problem making it up the street, but for Mr. Kelly and all of his health challenges, it would have been tough.
So the point of my story is that you never know when you are going to be called upon and be given the honor and priviledge to be of service to someone else…..someone's earth angel. I'm sure many of you have stories like this and have received the blessing of being able to help someone in need. The "feeling" that you receive when you have helped someone and gone that extra mile is something very special. It's like on Christmas day….we all like to get a present or two but how much more fun and special is it to watch someone open something that you picked out for them. It's no accident that are spirits soar and we feel good when we do something nice for someone else. It's how we are all wired. Just like when we do something bad to someone or do something wrong, we feel bad inside.
In closing, this is not to say that you don't have to be careful in helping out total strangers, because you do, but in the case of Mr. Kelly, my instincts told me that he was no one to fear and I think if you rely on that and the spirit, you will know too.
This is what the train station looks like now. I don't think it is in service now either, but it was renovated and painted and they tried to put a little restaurant and shop in there. When my story happened, it was not painted, and looked very scary and abandoned. There were no lights anywhere except from the street light across from where I stood. Can you imagine Mr. Kelly's thoughts as we pulled into it?
This is the lonely dark street that Mr. Kelly would have had to walk down to the middle of town.

The Making of Jimmer's Commercial…
Well I hope you all saw the "Outside the Lines" segment on Jimmer. I noticed that there is a 5 minute preview version on some of the social media sites, but that's not the whole thing. The finished video was a little over 20 minutes. I know a lot of you could only find the 5 minute one but the longer version can be released 21 days after the airing of it on TV. So I will let everyone know when that happens.
Kudos to ESPN's "Outside the Lines" crew. They did a fantastic job and we all loved it. It definitely captured the very essence of Jimmer. He's a hard working, unassuming type kid, (well I call him a kid because I'm his mother) that loves God, loves his family, including his dog George, loves playing basketball and other sports, and loves hanging out with family and friends. Now he has another little one to hang out with….their little girl. It's as simple as that. What you see is what you get with Jimmer. He's never given up on his dream of playing in the NBA (which he did) and to continue to play professional basketball. There are two personality traits that Jimmer has which have gotten him to where he is, and it's persistence and perseverance. His wife might call it stubbornness. He went through more than anyone knows during those first few years in the NBA, never once complaining to any of us, but kept his head up, worked hard and kept positive. He has never doubted his abilities. I know that he must have felt great frustration and disappointment…. but he kept going. Now he has captured a whole new HUGE audience that appreciates his talent for basketball and loves him for who he is….and he loves them in return. So what I would say to anyone that is getting close to their dreams of (whatever), and you feel like giving up….DON'T!!!… because you never know what is on the other side of that frustration.
So to finish up Jimmer's experience in China for this year, I would like to talk about the making of the commercial that he did for the sporting good company called 361. My husband happened to be there watching the whole process so I can post some of the pictures and video that he took. Kind of blurry but, hey, he had just graduated from a flip phone to a smart phone and it was all new to him…. so I'll cut him some slack. You did good Al.
He said they were there in a cold gym for about 9 hours. You can see by the pictures that no one took their heavy coats off except for Jimmer when they had to do a scene. They were very conscious of making sure Jimmer was warm and comfortable by putting a heater by him when he sat down and made sure he had a coat to wear at all times. Al also said that they had a lot of good food for them to eat during their breaks so they certainly didn't go hungry. Very kind crew they were.
As I said last time when I talked about filming here at our home, it takes so much time for just a few seconds of footage, and it was the same here. They worked very hard all day and I think the actual commercial is about 15 seconds long…if that. Al said it was really interesting to see how it was made though. There were about 50-75 people there, some busy with their specific jobs and some just watching. At the end you will see a bunch of sparkling confetti blowing up behind Jimmer. There was one guy that had that job. He had a PVC pipe and filled it full of the confetti. Obviously he put something in the pipe that would shoot it out behind Jimmer like a small cannon to disperse it throughout the air.
Also what I thought was interesting was that they had a "stand in" for Jimmer so that he wouldn't have to stand all day while they got the right camera angles and lighting and whatever. They actually hired someone to do that!!!…and I think they paid him pretty good money for it. Al got a chance to talk to the guy while he wasn't busy being the stand in. He said he was from Norway or Sweden or some place like that. He was going to school over there in China and he would pick up odd jobs to make some money. He was an interesting guy with yet another accent (this time Norwegian) in the mix. They wanted someone of similar height, build and coloring so they could get everything right concerning Jimmer's scenes. I'll post a picture of him. Nice, happy guy Al said.
I got a kick out of how they all scooted across the room together to film Jimmer as he was dribbling the ball. It was soon after Jimmer had slightly injured his foot and it must have been a little tender for him to do those moves, but he was a trooper. It got done. It was an interesting and fun day for Al and Jimmer….but also a tiring one. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of waiting around, but it's worth it in the end. They have a great commercial out now and it is playing over in China for 361.
A lot of people have asked about Jimmer's signature shoe and when it's coming out. He says that it won't be out until next season and they are trying for it to be available in the USA somewhere but not at all sure about that. We will let everyone know when we find out. Maybe they will be available for Christmas this year. That would be nice.
Ok that's it for today….thanks for stopping by. I'll post some pictures, some video and the completed commercial at the bottom. Those of you that saw the 20 minute version of 'Outside the Lines" yesterday saw the commercial already. These "behind the scenes" videos below show you that everything like this on TV seems so glamorous because the final product is so polished and perfect, but the work that goes into it, and the reality of it is not quite so glamorous. Check it out.
Until next time….see ya!

Marechal Deodoro es una estación de la Línea 3-Roja del Metro de São Paulo. Fue inaugurada el día 17 de diciembre de 1988. Está ubicada en la Plaza Marechal Deodoro, s/nº.

Características
Estación subterránea con entrepiso de distribución y plataformas laterales superpuestas, estructura en concreto aparente y aberturas para iluminación natural. Posee acceso para portadores de discapacidades físicas.
Tiene una capacidad de hasta 20.000 pasajeros por día, con una área construida de 12.580m².

Curiosidades
Esta estación fue construida con vías superpuestas (una encima de la otra, en niveles distintos), al igual que la Estación São Bento, debido al hecho de que el método de construcción utilizado en la línea, de fosa a cielo abierto, obligaba a la construcción a ser realizada en la superficie, cavando una fosa, normalmente en una calle, siguiendo el trayecto de la línea, y, en esa fosa, construir la línea, y, luego de concluidas las obras, la fosa es cubierta y la calle reconstruida. En este caso, la calle en que pasa la línea, la Calle de las Palmeras, no es tan ancha como para que se cave las dos líneas simultáneamente, obligando a montar una sobre la otra.

function [sens] = ft_datatype_sens(sens, varargin)

% FT_DATATYPE_SENS describes the FieldTrip structure that represents
% an EEG, ECoG, or MEG sensor array. This structure is commonly called
% "elec" for EEG and "grad" for MEG, or more general "sens" for either
% one.
%
% The structure for MEG gradiometers and/or magnetometers contains
%    sens.label    = Mx1 cell-array with channel labels
%    sens.chanpos  = Mx3 matrix with channel positions
%    sens.chanori  = Mx3 matrix with channel orientations, used for synthetic planar gradient computation
%    sens.tra      = MxN matrix to combine coils into channels
%    sens.coilpos  = Nx3 matrix with coil positions
%    sens.coilori  = Nx3 matrix with coil orientations
%    sens.balance  = structure containing info about the balancing, See FT_APPLY_MONTAGE
%
% The structure for EEG or ECoG channels contains
%    sens.label    = Mx1 cell-array with channel labels
%    sens.chanpos  = Mx3 matrix with channel positions
%    sens.tra      = MxN matrix to combine electrodes into channels
%    sens.elecpos  = Nx3 matrix with coil positions
% In case sens.tra is not present in the EEG sensor array, the channels
% are assumed to be average referenced.
%
% The following fields are optional
%    sens.type     = string with the MEG or EEG acquisition system, see FT_SENSTYPE
%    sens.chantype = Mx1 cell-array with the type of the channel, see FT_CHANTYPE
%    sens.chanunit = Mx1 cell-array with the units of the channel signal, e.g. 'T', 'fT' or 'fT/cm'
%
% Revision history:
%
% (2011v2/latest) The chantype and chanunit have been added for MEG.
%
% (2011v1) To facilitate determining the position of channels (e.g. for plotting)
%  in case of balanced MEG or bipolar EEG, an explicit distinction has been made
%  between chanpos+chanori and coilpos+coilori (for MEG) and chanpos and elecpos
%  (for EEG). The pnt and ori fields are removed
%
% (2010) Added support for bipolar or otherwise more complex linear combinations
%  of EEG electrodes using sens.tra, similar to MEG.
%
% (2009) Noice reduction has been added for MEG systems in the balance field.
%
% (2006) The optional fields sens.type and sens.unit were added.
%
% (2003) The initial version was defined, which looked like this for EEG
%    sens.pnt     = Mx3 matrix with electrode positions
%    sens.label   = Mx1 cell-array with channel labels
% and like this for MEG
%    sens.pnt     = Nx3 matrix with coil positions
%    sens.ori     = Nx3 matrix with coil orientations
%    sens.tra     = MxN matrix to combine coils into channels
%    sens.label   = Mx1 cell-array with channel labels

Wendy Davis' Single-Mom Story Sings for Me
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the sons of single mothers, traded on their families' narratives of triumph over hardship. It's nice to see Texas Democrat Wendy Davis flipping the script and highlighting her own achievements as a single mom.
Allison Stevens

(WOMENSENEWS)–Few political candidates run campaigns on their achievements as mothers, and fewer still as single mothers. But that is what Texas Democrat Wendy Davis is doing, and it is one reason–the biggest one, perhaps–why I'm hoping she prevails in today's gubernatorial primary.
Sure, I care about her policy positions. She won national renown, of course, for standing up–literally, for 11 hours straight during a filibuster last June–to protect women's right to abortion. And last year, she supported expanding Medicaid in a state where 19 percent of women are poor and 38 percent of single parents are below the poverty line, as Sharon Johnson reported in a previous story for Women's eNews.
But as someone outside the state, and part of her national and non-voting audience, I'm most interested in her decision to highlight her past as a teenage single mother who managed to lift herself out of poverty while raising two daughters.
"The story of my life is also the story of millions of single mothers who feel alone in the world, millions of young dreamers searching for their chance to become something more than what they were born into, millions of families all across Texas who would sacrifice everything to give their children a better future," she writes on her campaign website. "Throughout this campaign, I've shared this story–not because it's unique, but because it isn't."
Davis is right; her story is not unique. Millions of single mothers in the United States are, as she notes, successfully balancing work and family responsibilities.
But it is unusual in the male-dominated world of politics.
Sons Benefit from Humblebrag
To be sure, politicians have traded on the single-mom story before. But it seems to me that more often than not, it's the child–or rather, the son–who benefits from this kind of humblebrag.
Take Bill Clinton and Barack Obama for example. They ran successful pull-yourself-up-from-your-bootstraps campaigns as the sons of hardworking single mothers.
And they're not the first sons of single moms to win the keys to the White House. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, in fact, were raised by their mothers after losing their fathers during childhood, according to Single Parent Magazine.
We've heard about the trials faced by single moms from their candidate-kids. I want to hear the single-mom story from the moms themselves. We need more moms in political power because I'm pretty confident they'll be more sensitive to issues of particular concern to moms than the current bunch of (mostly male) politicians.
Remember, we live in one of a handful of countries on earth that lacks paid family leave, and the United States ranked a disappointing 30th in Save the Children's 2013 ranking of the world's most mom-friendly countries.
Female candidates, however, tend to avoid playing up their roles as mothers on the campaign trail–and understandably so.
Despite all the hard work that goes in to the job, mothering still does not garner respect on the political resume, despite the fact that mothers earn a ground-up grasp of a wide range of policy issues like early childhood education, health care coverage and workplace reform.
Vulnerable to Attack
When female candidates do draw attention to their experience as mothers, they are vulnerable to attack from both sides. We learned that once again with Davis, who was smeared for leaving her daughters in Texas so she could attend Harvard Law School in Massachusetts.
Ostensibly, the grounds for the attack were the ways Davis' campaign story did not square with the facts. Her ex-husband's contribution to the cause–in terms of helping her financially and also with child care–were, shall we say, minimized, according to news reports.
But the way the story took off smacked of more than insufficient fact-checking in the tall-tale state of Texas. To my ear, the momentum had a lot to do with ongoing ambivalence about a woman who dares to have kids and a kick-ass career. If she had stayed put and opted against Harvard Law, she may not have become the powerful woman she is today.
It's time to flip the script. Mothers–and single mothers in particular–should be free to highlight, rather than hide, their achievements at home and in the workplace.
Davis is doing that, and I applaud her for it.
"Mine is a story about a teenage single mother who struggled to keep her young family afloat," she writes on her website. "It's a story about a young woman who was given a precious opportunity to work her way up in the world. It's a story about resiliency, and sacrifice and perseverance."
I'm "deeply proud of the life I've built and the daughters I've raised," she also says.
I'm proud of her too, and of all of the nation's moms, and especially the single ones, who do the challenging, unpaid and underappreciated work of birthing and raising children.
If Davis wins today, it will be a victory for politically minded moms who may have an easier time running for office in the future–and for all the families who would benefit if they did.

The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him. Why did you tell this joke? He started to learn Spanish from the radio. I've decided to resign. I lie on the grass. Curtis reluctantly did as he was told. Calcium is not an alkali metal. The battle robot JA went berserk. I know it's cruel, but you're far too ugly to make it in the entertainment business. The results of the experiment were not as we had hoped.
We all love Alastair. What room would you like to reserve? Amnesty International often organizes public protests in support of political prisoners. Morris cried out in pain. Be reasonable. Chuck returned from the kitchen carrying a pot of coffee. He followed my advice. Jarmo is tall and likewise strong. That's a question you shouldn't ask. He cheated on my mother.
My grandfather was pretty tall. How long would it take you to paint my garage? It would be best to leave it to a man who knows the ropes. Both of my parents do not play golf. She was fluent in French. It's outstanding. Kazuhiro is going to write a letter. I must get some sleep. And then she remembered that human beings could not live in the water. I took my revenge on my children.
The was being polite. I've decided to remain here. We're really, really good at what we do. You said that Jagath was busy. I jog before breakfast every morning. Charles finally overcame his shyness and asked Elliott to go out with him. Your words have given me food for thought. I had to get something from my room. When you think about it that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Your father is very responsible.
Stuart is overconfident. It is the obligation of every worker to pay taxes. Social media have made us more densely networked than ever. Yet new research suggests that we have never been lonelier and that this loneliness is making us mentally and physically ill. Will Sedat be the next president of the United States?

Why didn't you come to school yesterday?
Just give me a second. I wrote last week to Mr. Wood and I asked him to give you a job on the farm. I went to Italy for the second time in 1980. He made many grammatical mistakes in his composition. I asked them to come in. I am an intermediary who introduces business. What a wonderful town! It's nice to be a role model for others. During the war, we often had to make do without sugar. Tor made it easy for me.
I don't want to hear about Edgar. He did his best to be in time for the train. Can you believe that October is almost over? They aren't happy to see you. I've been away far too long. Pam denied this. The prisoner who escaped two days ago is still at large. It makes no odds to me. Don't run after me any more. I don't think it's any of your business.
Tuan had to stay in the hospital. My friends and I went to a party yesterday. She provided for an urgency. Make sure you cut the board against the grain. There are two zeros in the number "2010." We should concentrate on one thing at a time. You will be allowed to use this room tomorrow. The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. My brothers haven't answered your questions yet. Stagger has lived in Boston all his life.
You will miss the train, unless you start for the station at once. Hotta demoted you. Dinner is ready, so we can eat whenever we want. I can't see who Edith is talking to. Are you always busy? Amigo walked back to his seat and sat down. They're about to return! I want you to convince Marnix to help us. The boy can count to ten. I'm going to get there before dark.
You seem to be very busy. In any case, it's too late. I was hoping I might be able to eat at your house this evening. I made some good buys. All the children fell asleep before it got dark. She is a prophetic figure. What've you done with Sorrel? We are very proud of what we have accomplished. I listened to them. Those who violate the rules will be punished.

iPad Obliterate: A Tech Tale of Disaster
By Lance Ulanoff 2013-09-16 19:33:47 UTC
I messed up, big time. My own laziness resulted in the loss of well over one hundred drawings on my iPad — artwork I now must close my eyes and search my biological memory to see again. I could say it's all my fault, but I don't believe that's entirely true.
You may be surprised to learn that I still own and use a first-generation iPad. It is my favorite piece of technology and while the fourth-generation iPad has surpassed it in speed, functionality and design, my iPad works perfectly and is in — if I do say so myself — mint condition.

It's not as though I've never tried another iPad. Sure, I've cheated with Retina display test units and have traveled with the smaller, lighter and lovely iPad mini. This does not make me an iPad lech. I'm simply a tech writer who wants to stay current. But I'm hesitant to give up my first iPad.
In addition to browsing the web, accessing email, using social media and playing games, I use it to draw. I have a couple of go-to drawing apps: Autodesk's powerful Sketchbook Pro and the social media platform-cum-doodling app Doodle.ly. It's not unusual to find me on my couch watching TV while sketching something on my iPad.
Not a Perfect Existence
A few years ago, I wrote about Apple's crashing problem. You know the one, when you're in Safari trying to load a page or simply running an app and you get dumped to the home screen. While I think Apple blames app developers for this, I'm not so sure. In any case, subsequent OS updates ameliorated the issue.
Lately, though, my iPad had been slowing down. When I typed, the device struggled to keep up. Though my home network and Wi-Fi were faster than ever, web page loading was unbearably slow. Crashes had started to ramp up again, too. I started to think that I should back this baby up, wipe her and start over again.
I used to regularly plug the iPad into my Windows 7 PC, but the PC had gone through a couple of significant issues and finally died earlier this year. When I bought a new Windows 8 system, I didn't even bother to install iTunes. What was the point? All of our iPhones and iPads could update over the air. Since this was a camera-free first-generation iPad, I had no pictures to worry about. I didn't have any critical contacts or documents on my iPad. Any app I bought could be downloaded again. While I did not use iCloud to backup my iPad, cloud-based, far-flung servers still hosted my music, email and most documents (Google Drive, SkyDrive). What I created was in the cloud — at least some of it.
Broke My Own Rule
You know where this is going. I didn't bother to back up my iPad, which shouldn't have mattered —until it did.
One day, I was drawing in Doodle.ly. I love this app because you can quickly sketch a drawing or cartoon and then share it with the service's growing social network. People can then like and even reshare your doodle. When you complete a drawing, you can simultaneously publish to the network and share on your favorite social network (I chose Twitter). The only problem: It didn't work. The app kept telling me the share failed. After a half dozen attempts, I gave up, sort of.
First, I checked to see whether Doodle.ly was still authorized to share through Twitter (this is under Twitter's settings on the iPad). It was. It occurred to me, though, that the authorization might still be broken.
Some weeks ago, as part of a sweeping security measure, I de-authorized a bunch of apps. Even after reauthorizing critical ones, they were not all properly posting to Twitter. The go-to fix was uninstalling and reinstalling Twitter. As I'm sure you know, removing an app, even Twitter, from any iOS device is easy. Just hold down on the icon until the black "x" appears and then select that "x" to delete. You'll get a warning about all the lost data, but nothing of importance is stored locally in Twitter.
Next, I tried to reinstall Twitter. I found the permanent Twitter icon under iOS's General settings, selected it and then hit the Install button. The Twitter icon instantly appeared on my iPad screen and the installation began.
It got three-quarters of the way through and then stalled for 10 minutes.
Second Big Mistake
Staring at the frozen blue installation bar, I tried to discern if it was moving at all. Nope; it seemed stuck. Nearly 20 minutes in, I gave up and held down the sleep/power button. In my defense, I have done this before — and I usually end up where I started. I assumed I'd be able to try and install Twitter again.
No such luck.
Regardless of how many times I restarted the iPad or how long I held down sleep/power and the home buttons (a good way to force a proper reboot), the iPad was stuck in an infinite loop of reboots to the glowing Apple logo.
Online, I found instructions that matched my method of reboot and finally an Apple article that recommended a restore. To do so, you connect the iPad to a computer with iTunes installed and then hold down the restore/power button and home.
What Restore Means
Restore doesn't mean what you think it means. It's not a restoration of your product to its previous state; it's a factory reset. So it should be called Reset. It's not, of course.
I connected my barely breathing iPad to my Windows 8 computer, which now had the latest version of iTunes installed, and did the hard reboot. On the iPad, I saw the "Plug In your iPad to the computer" graphic and instruction. On my computer, I saw instructions warning me that a Restore would delete all my data.
I felt a cold chill run down my spine. While I had blithely dismissed the need for backing up my data, I realized that I had neglected to consider the hundreds of Sketchbook Pro drawings that resided not in the cloud or even a photo library backed up in Photostream, but in the app's own proprietary Gallery: portraits, cartoons, greeting cards, illustrations. All of it was gone.
My predicament was untenable, yet also largely of my own making. If I had ever backed up the iPad or that app (or even exported all of them to the photo library), they might not all be lost. Granted, I had published some of the best on Flickr, in print (as gifts) and even on Mashable. Still, all the originals would be gone — forever.
Yet, I saw no other way. The iPad was not coming back on its own. So I restored.
When the restore was done, my iPad was as fresh as a newborn baby, and about as dumb: No apps, no memory of any settings and certainly not a single file (app-related or otherwise) was left. The devastation was complete.
As I tried to digest that fact that all my art work was gone, I began the task of rebuilding my iPad to its previous state. This proved somewhat more difficult than I expected.
Setting up my Wi-Fi, adding my Twitter account and entering my email account(s) information went smoothly. Apps were another story.
To reinstall my apps, I visited "purchased" in the App Store and began the rather laborious process of searching for and reinstalling my go-to apps . Sketchbook, my favorite app, installed without an issue (I was somewhat surprised that there wasn't an angry message on screen, waiting for me, when I opened it).
However, I came across a surprising number of apps that I could no longer install: Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Chrome (sensing a theme here) and Doodle.ly. Each one reported that it required iOS 6.0. No matter what I did, I could not find a way to install versions that would work with iOS 5.1.1.
When exactly did the iOS system fork so sharply that app vendors cannot provide one-version back of compatibility? If I really want to use these and other incompatible apps, I have one choice: Buy a new iPad running iOS 6 (soon-to-be iOS 7).
The reset didn't even help my old iPad's performance. It's about as buggy (or buggier) as ever. Safari crashes repeatedly and the performance is pokey at best.
And when I look back, I have to wonder: Was I right about why Doodle.ly lost its Twitter connection and why wouldn't Twitter simply install? That's not all on me, is it? Is it?
I can wonder, but like Walter White in Breaking Bad, I set the wheels in motion. All that's followed since is, to be honest, mostly my fault.
Pay heed to my tale of iPad hubris and woe, my friends. Even when you don't think you have to back up. You do. You really do.

10 Must-Have Apps for the New iPad Owner
1. Air Video
The iPad is a great media player. The size of the screen coupled with the quality of the display really makes it a great way to catch up on lots of content. Although you can use iTunes to transfer movie and music files to your iPad, converting and transferring can be a complicated and tedious process. This is why Air Video is so great -- it makes it extremely simple to stream video from your Mac or PC to your iPad.
Just install the free Air Video server client on your PC, tell it what folders to watch or include and then fire up the app. Now select your computer and feel free to go through your lists of available content and watch it in great quality on the iPad! Air Video does a really terrific job of "live conversion," meaning your video is converted as it plays, which saves time and makes it really easy to enjoy your video collection on the couch.
2. Real Racing HD
Real Racing for the iPhone was a great racing game. Real Racing HD is even better. The use of the accelerometer for turning and maneuvering might make you look a little weird to your friends, but the graphics, sound, controls and gameplay are all top-notch.
Seriously, this is a great racing game and its a great game to really show off the power of the iPad!
3. GoodReader for iPad
We've written about our affinity for GoodReader both on the iPhone and the iPad in the past, but it bears a repeated mention. Simply put, GoodReader is one of the best document readers/file managers out there. Period. You can connect to Dropbox, Box.net, Google Docs, FTP servers, and local computers, and download files directly off the web.
More than just a PDF viewer (though it is a great PDF viewer), the app can read a variety of different file types and can even let you open documents inside other apps to make editing a breeze.
4. Mondo Solitaire
Mondo Solitaire was one of the apps we highlighted in our early roundup of iPad video previews. In practice, the app is extremely addictive and extremely entertaining.
Mondo Solitaire comes in two varieties, a pack of the most popular games or the whole shebang. If you like card games, we recommend getting the full package and then having a blast playing through tons of variations of Solitaire and Freecell.
I have personally spent many hours playing Mondo Solitaire that otherwise could have been spent sleeping or being productive.
5. Wired Magazine
Released earlier this week, Wired for the iPad has already sold over 24,000 copies. For good reason too: Wired for the iPad is a great example of what publishers and content creators can do when they really fire on all cylinders.
While we aren't sure if we would buy Wired every month without some sort of better subscription plan, the first issue, which includes a look at the making of Toy Story 3, is really worth checking out.
6. Kindle for iPad
Apple's iBooks application is fantastic, but when it comes to content selection, Amazon still has the lead. Kindle for the iPad is a really good e-reader app, and makes it easy to browse through books. It seamlessly launches the web-based book store to make purchasing a snap.
We think Apple has the edge in overall presentation, but you can't beat Kindle in price or selection. Also, while not as utterly beautiful as iBooks, Kindle for the iPad is still great to look at.
7. Epicurious
Even if you're like me and cooking consists of re-heating take-out and making reservations, there is something to love about the Epicurious app. There are so many recipes and ideas, not to mention gorgeous pictures, that this is a great app to have on hand before hitting the market or just to gaze at while waiting for the pizza delivery guy.
8. Dropbox
If you are a Dropbox user, you owe it to yourself to get the Drobox app for the iPad. It brings all of what makes the iPhone app great and makes it even better. You can save content directly to your device, you can upload content off your device and you can view and playback media content all in the app.
Dropbox is a great way to stay connected to the documents on your computer no matter where you are.
9. The Guardian Eyewitness
UK publication The Guardian released a really terrific iPad app that features its stunning photography. Visually, this app is one of our favorites. The form factor of the iPad makes it perfect for really enjoying and studying the art that accompanies news stories.
10. NewsRack
NewsRack is our current pick as the best newsreader available for the iPad. It syncs with Google Reader seamlessly, so if you add a feed, it is added to Google Reader -- if you remove it, it's removed there too. However, you can selectively sync only certain feeds or categories, which can make news reading on the iPad more manageable.
The iPad is a terrific way to browse the web, and that includes RSS feeds. NewsRack is a top-notch app that also works on the iPhone, if you want to keep everything in sync across devices.

Games on the Table – Part 13: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition
Morten Greis 10. November 2020 5. November 2020 Dungeons & Dragons, Roleplaying
I have been playing many versions of D&D these last couple of years taking a tour around both old and new OSR-interpretations of D&D as well as playing the present version, its predecessors and so on and so forth, and in many ways I quite enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition for the many good things it does. We played a long-running Curse of Strahd campaign and now we have a long-running Tomb of Annihilation – Mystara Edition campaign going.
The strengths of D&D 5th edition is its simplicity. Gone are the many situational modifiers, that created long tables on my AD&D 2nd edition DM Screen. Gone are the skill point fiddling and synergies from D&D 3rd edition. Gone is the heavy focus on miniatures from the 4th edition. Gone are the many empty levels, where nothing happened from the D&D becmi edition. Instead it is fairly simple and fast and I really like the advantage/disadvantage system.
Yet as I play D&D 5th also grow weary of it. I tire that though the players gain new and exciting powers on a regular basis – which is good – it is mostly abilities that are used in combat, and though D&D 5th claims to have three pillars of play – something, something, combat – it is mostly about supporting combat. There is exploration in the pre-2000's D&D. But not here.
I tire, that this version is a 'heroic' style, which transforms the game into a superhero-game in an undefined modern-yet-medieval setting, and the only thing that really separates the D&D characters from superheroes is the absence of secret identities.
I tire, that this version of D&D shies away from any challenges, that are not tied to combat. Making sure you don't run out of food, while travelling, braving the dangers of heat and thirst in a desert, being stranded in darkness in caves, handling the dangers of the wilderness and trying not to get lost. All these challenges are wiped away through 'background' abilities, simple spells and cantrips. Any challenge that may com between the players and the next combat is removed, and instead the whole game becomes about managing the combats.
Once I finish my present D&D campaign, I will be heading for other D&D-variants like Beyond the Wall and Dungeon Crawl Classics and other fantasy-genre games like The One Ring or Forbidden Lands, as D&D 5th has revealed itself to be a D&D-game with too much of a focus on superheroics and combats, and the campaigns written for D&D 5th are simply just not that good.

Awesome post. The whole part about every other challenge being solved through cantrips have always frustrated me about D&D since I began playing it back in the 3.0 years.Looking forward to hearing more about your upcoming adventures in the other systems! 😀

Yay! 😀


Great for bakeries and cafes, this D&W Fine Pack 37564 clear dome lid is the perfect companion to 1 1/2 lb. bread loaf pans. Using this clear lid reduces the need for additional bakery boxes while tightly securing your fresh baked goods. Simply bake your cakes or quick breads in a 1 1/2 lb. foil bread loaf pan (sold separately), cover with this dome lid, and sell! The 1 1/2 lb. foil bread loaf pan dome lid provides a clear window to view your delicious creations, and a secure cover for transport.
This lid features three rounded corners and one corner with a small tab for easy removal. To attach the lid to its companion foil bread loaf pan (sold separately), first push down on the three rounded corners, then push down on the corner with the tab last.
Be warned this is no longer the same product it once was under this order code. The lid is much more thin and brittle and less durable. My packaged sweet breads are no longer stackable with this lid. So disappointed. Bait and switch?
Talk about making your baking easy to display. These lids are great, so convenient and easy to use. Just the right amount of space above your loaf if you add toppings to baked breads and customers can see how pretty your baked goods are. Makes for nice presentation and easy to sell your baked goodies.
I have to agree with other customers that these lids are thin and not the most durable. I can use them, but cannot stack them as I thought I would be able to. The plastic lid does crack pretty easily when stacked.
We appreciate your review, Dawn! We are sorry this loaf pan did not meet your expectations. If you are looking for a different product, please contact our Customer Solutions team.
We use these to sell our baked goods. It makes for easy clean up and pretty displayed for our patrons. Thank you for you wonderful products.
The lids are an essentail part to the foil pans I bought. They do go on quite difficult at time however they stay on which is important.
I love to bake breads of all kind, sweet and regular and having the availability of these lids at such a low cost makes selling or gifting our products very easy. Gives a very professional end result when selling.
These lids give a beautiful presentation while protecting sweet breads. They have room for labeling and look very professional and classy on display. Much better than simple bags.
These lids fit perfectly on the loaf pan! Even if the cake batter spilled over a little bit, the lid still fit on! Perfect item!
The 1 1/2 loaf pans are great for quick breads and other products at our bakery. The downside is that the lids have changed. They used to snap tight to the pan, even after baking. The new lid fits easily over the pan and covers the product inside but doesn't snap tight. This is a definite negative for this otherwise great product.
These are great to cover those banana nut bread loaves or what ever you want to give away. These make the item more presentable when gifting or just to say thank you.
This is the lid that goes with the 1 1/2 lb loaf pan. It is great for presentation and storage purposes. I use these lids/pans for gifts mostly, or bake sales.
Excellent dome lid for loaf pan! Sturdy material makes for a great seal! Great value! You can poke a few holes in them and use them with the loaf pan to store hot food in them too!!
These add a great touch to the foil pans. You don't have to worry about stacking the foil pans. They are more sturdy then I thought they would be.

New nursing role at trust
The first tranche of training for a new kind of nursing role at Frimley Health has begun.
In time there will be some 150-200 nursing associates in the trust, helping to ensure the right skill mix of nursing staff in clinical areas for the best patient care. It is one of the ways the trust is addressing a national shortage of registered nurses available to the NHS.
The two-year course at Frimley Health, run in partnership with Buckinghamshire New University and the University of West London, was over-subscribed with 130 staff applying for the 60 places available on the first tranche of nursing associates during 2018.
Nationally there is a shortage of around 40,000 nurses, leading to high vacancy rates in many trusts. The south and south-east regions are under particular pressure because of the high cost of living.
The new role was developed nationally to address this with support and recognition from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Director of Nursing Duncan Burton said many healthcare assistant who wanted to get into nursing roles were among those now training.
"There may be all sorts of reason why this role might appeal to someone. If a traditional route in nursing doesn't appeal or isn't an option, this offers another pathway into nursing, and is a new opportunity for career development. For others it will be an ends in its own right to provide a new career role to support patients and the wider nursing body.
"With so many nursing vacancies nationally I think this will be a great option that will enhance our patient care and allow us to develop careers. We will have less reliance on agency, which will be better for efficiency and consistent patient care.
"Crucially with the role recognised by the NMC, nursing associates will be professionally accountable for maintaining their registration and skill levels, and the care that they provide."
A fully qualified nurse in an NHS acute hospital will typically begin at a band 5. Once qualified, the new nursing associate posts will be band 4 in line with their level of training and skills.
Duncan said they would not be suitable for deployment to most clinical areas. He added: "We will look very carefully at where nursing associates can be best used to add value. That will be based upon patient need and whether the roles fully fit the skills that nurse associates bring."
The new role is one of a number of initiatives the trust is running to improve staff retention and career opportunities and to reduce vacancy rates on wards and reliance on agency staffing.

BRIDGEPORT—Former NBC Universal President/CEO Bob Wright praised Merton Center for its "broad range of programs" and urged the 250 in attendance to support is mission at this morning's 24th Annual Celebrity Breakfast held yesterday at the downtown Holiday inn.
Al Barber, President of Catholic Charities, said the breakfast is expected to raise $100,000 to support Merton Center, which serves and distributes more than 550,000 meals to the poor and hungry in the greater Bridgeport area each year.
He singled out the "transition from guest to volunteer" program "as an example of the way Merton Center empowers the working poor and homeless who rely on it for nutrition and other services.
Wright said since his retirement and the death of his first wife Suzanne from pancreatic cancer in 2016, he has worked to fund research into pancreatic cancer and autism, which afflicted one of his grandsons.
"This is may day job," he said, referring to his advocacy for Autism Speaks, a foundation created by him and his late wife, and for the Suzanne Wright Foundation dedicated to accelerating pancreatic cancer research.
He said the men and women in attendance that the mortality rate for the diagnosis has not improved since 1971, when the "war on cancer" was launched nationally. Ninety-one percent of those diagnosed with the illness will die of it.
When he first turned his attention to the treatment of autism, he found that care for the condition was not covered by insurance and that many parents were paying out of pocket or with credit cards. Through his effort and the work of others, that has since changed.
Likewise, he noted that the "standard of care" for pancreatic cancer is inadequate and that much more research and advocacy is necessary.
During his talk the former GE Vice Chairman gave insights into the company's current crisis and the challenges faced by new CEO John Flaherty.
"Many big companies are fighting for their survival," he said, noting that the new GE leader has inherited $150 billion in liabilities.
However, he said that GE's foundation is built on "three good businesses" and that the expertise of its employee base will be an important resource going forward.
Jenkins presented the volunteer Creative Service Award to Aldona and Lou Lengyel of St. Theresa Parish in Trumbull. The food pantry volunteers have served the poor at Merton Center for ten years.
In a brief remarks, Merton Center cook Sister Amanda Carrier, RSM, said that with the help of generous donations from area businesses such as Trader Joe's she has been able to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables to the diet of her guests.
Describing the "Hollow" neighborhood around the Merton Center as a "food desert, where fresh produce is scarce and healthy food inaccessible to them," Sister Amanda said that because they are poor, most guests can only afford processed food.
Louise Bayly Gidez is serving as chairperson of the Advisory Board. Marianne Kahn and Sheila McEnery served as co-chairs of the event.
Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim stopped by to greet the business and civic leaders in attendance and praise the mission of Merton Center.
In addition to its nutrition programs, Merton Center offers case management services to help guests become more independent, writing classes, spiritual groups, a women's group, and other support groups. Guests can also take advantage of shower facilities two days a week.


Vegans participating in acts of civil disobedience seems to be on the increase.
Social media has romanticised it and is encouraging more to do similar acts.
Thought should we be participating in it, and if we aren't what other options are there?
What Does It Actually Achieve?
Unlike other movements where those who were being oppressed were the ones disobeying the laws, "animal activists" are doing it on behalf of someone else.
There are those who say that civil disobedience is essential because it gives us a chance to tell the animal's story.
While this may sound all warm and fuzzy, the reality of things is very different.
These stunts are live-streamed on social media, so people can see how much these performers do "for the animals".
Industry supporting words like "humane", "cruelty" and "suffering" are used continuously.
When push comes to shove, these performers display minimal resistance and leave with a fine or a summons.
The story of "the animals" is then disregarded, as the story of the performer takes centre stage.
They ask the public to help pay their fines or court costs, making it all about them, and not "the animals".
If there is a court case, the performers are once again the focus, with "the animals" getting a token mention.
Those who support performer focused stunts that masquerade as civil disobedience say that we have a "moral responsibility" to disobey unjust laws.
Depending on who you talk to, every law could be labelled as unjust. And therefore able to be disobeyed.
If this were to happen, what would society become?
Let's say that for a minute, that laws are passed etc, to make it illegal to consume animals.
What if a group disobeys that law as "morally irresponsible" because their ancestors ate animal flesh, and they need to do it to feed their family?
Or do we bring down the "full force" of the law onto them, in a way that we haven't had?
While these stunts get praise and accolades from those within the performer focused echo chamber, outside it, they do very little to help "the cause".
These stunts are presented with a very biased view by the media who thrive on sensationalism, fear and division. I am yet to see one protest, regardless of what it is about, portrayed positively by the media.
With most of society being inundated with stories from the media, and that view influencing their opinion, we should be aiming to stay out of it as much as possible.
Something that isn't able to be done with mass "civil disobedience" stunts.
Public relations aside, these stunts hurt the movement for other reasons.
It shifts the focus away from the animals, and their plight, and places it on the performer.
The focus is on their "record", rather than their knowledge and understanding of veganism and animal rights.
It becomes about what they are seen to be doing "for the animals", rather than what they actually are doing.
It also takes money and resources away from the movement.
Take a recent court case here in Queensland.
Three performers were caught stealing animals due to bragging about it on social media.
They played on the sympathy of others and crowd-funded around $20,000 to pay their legal bills. (This is despite being able to access legal aid, and offers of pro-bono advice).
That money could have gone to any number of areas that would have had a better outcome "for the animals", and the movement.
That amount would have paid for a training facility and food for over 200 people for a weekend to learn about actual animal rights, and how to engage with those who aren't vegan.
It could have paid for the sponsoring of 16 pigs for a whole year at a local sanctuary.
Instead, that money went somewhere that will be of no benefit to "the animals".
If we shouldn't be engaging in civil disobedience stunts, what else is there?
This depends on what you want to actually do, rather than what you want to be seen to be doing.
First of all, I would be staying away from any sort of "mass message" approach.
And the ROI is likely to be negligible, to say the least.
Instead, focus on becoming better yourself.
The better you become, the more likely that those who aren't vegan will notice what you do. (I'd also stay away from goals of wanting to "go viral", and instead focus on one person).
You could organise a weekly bbq for a few neighbours, making sure that only vegan suitable food is served. This has the triple purpose of exposing your neighbours to other things, showing them (by making it) that vegan-suitable food isn't that much of a challenge, and it shows them that vegans are normal members of society.
You could become politically active.
By this, I don't mean jumping on the bandwagon of one party and signing their song. I mean actively engaging with your elected representative.
Any, and every time they do something that isn't giving other animals equal consideration let them know.
Write them a letter (I prefer this option over email, and still think it has a greater impact), organise a meeting with them to talk to them face to face.
Organise others in the electorate to do the same thing. (Do all this individually, rather than as a group. It is easier for politicians to dismiss a group of 20 rather than 20 individuals).
You could start your own blog, and write articles about veganism.
While they may not have as much glory and social media cred attached to them as a sit-in live-streamed, they are still useful maybe even more "effective".
Remember, the less the media know about what we are doing, the harder it is for them to portray us in a negative light.

The Life of a Military Brat
Who really knows what life is like for the children of the military? No one would know, but a child who grew up around the military. These kids are known as military brats, I am not crazy about the name. Military brat sort of entitles military kids as little brats, but we're not. I myself love being a military brat for many reasons.
For one thing I get to meet all kinds of people, from different countries. I learn about People who have different lifestyles and beliefs from me. Most of the people I meet speak a different language from me, but when you the same age. You tend to know what each other likes and dislike. I have really come to learn that no matter what country you are from, you can still like the same things. One of my good friends is from the Dominican republic and we both like the same movies and music.
Another thing I enjoy about being a military brat is the discounts and luxuries. The military get all kind of discounts, and luxuries. My family has never stayed in the hotel less than 4 stars. And when I take my dog to the vet instead of paying $90 for a check up we only pay $50. We also got a time from the military which I like because this allows us to go anywhere with out paying hotel bills.
The most exciting thing about being a military brat is that I get to travel. Traveling all over the world is fun , although I do have to learn friends and family members behind. I have been to Italy, Greece, Germany, Japan, and Spain, and Spain is the place I remember the most. I was in Spain for 7 years and I loved every minute of it, it was so peaceful there. Before moving to Spain we were originally suppose to go to Hawaii but I am glad we didn't. Spain was probably the best move my family ever did cause we learned a lot.
These are the many reasons whey I like being a military brat. Friends, discounts, and Traveling is pretty much the life of a military brat. There is the bad stuff like leaving your...
Military Brat Essay
...Korinda Rehling-Rodriguez ENG 098R 1053 FINAL DRAFT Military Child: 'Brat' Pure hell took its course on me as a young innocent girl. Being a military brat definitely impacted my life in many challenging ways. The term military brat is usually misunderstood by non-military population. A military brat is a child from a parent who is in the military. My mother was a commanding officer which made me and my siblings labeled "military brat" The word brat (by itself) may seem negative. However, we were taught that its not an insult but actually a term of endearment and respect. Of course the military has a lot of traveling, family orientated, many free services, and good food. Being a military brat was not all its hyped up to be. As a little girl growing up I never had a place to truly call home. Living the lifestyle as a military brat my mother frequently transferred or was given new assignments. Our locations verified from state to state and we always ended up on a military base. Never staying in a place for more than one to two years it was like being passed around like a damn basketball. At times I got used to my mother's absence when she received her...
Women in Military Essay
...the United States Armed Forces. Being in the military means prestige, honor, pride, and the satisfaction that comes along with engaging what is considered one of the most valiant and traditionally revered professions in our country. However, there has always been and continues to be considerable debate in this country as to exactly what extent women should be allowed to serve their country, and what the effects and trade-offs of such integration might be. Sex scandals such as what happened at the Tailhook convention in 1991 or the misconduct of former Lt. Kelly Flinn have served to raise questions about military integration. Can female and male military personnel be combined without the military losing some of its effectiveness? Can women be as good at being soldiers, sailors, naval aviators and fighter pilots as men? Should women be allowed in the line of fire and in direct combat? What role should sexual harassment and fraternization play in the combination of women into the military? The real question, essentially, is not whether women can serve in any military capacity at all. The real question is whether or not women should be allowed in combat. To understand this debate it is important, as it is with any such discussion, to put the issue into historical context to better understand where things stand today. The following are some notable events to date in the evolution of the effort...
Military Drafting Essay
...that you have been drafted by the military, meaning you have to leave all of your friends, family and your current life to go join the military whether you want to or not. In a minute, your life has been completely turned upside down; now you have to leave your dream job for which you have worked so hard to get and spend some years in the military, wasting your talent and education. What was the purpose of studying so hard all of your life? Why are we told to dream when it might be taken away, by the government, later on in life? Couldn't you serve your country by doing the job you were prepared to do than by doing something you don't have a clue about? Every human deserves a right to choose his or her future no matter what the reason may be. The military should not draft unwilling civilians to do something that they are not prepared for and do not want to do. Military drafting takes away a person's ability and right to choose what they want to do with their life. Our country was found on human rights and the right to make our own decisions. How is it that the same country now forces its citizens to go into a war zone without their consent and says its patriotism when it's actually barbarianism and unjust? Even our own declaration of independence is based on human rights: "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life,...
Women in the Military Essay
...Military Women Fighting on the Frontline COMM 215 May 6, 2013 Mary Lynn Cluff Military Women Fighting on the Frontline In the recent past, there has been controversy regarding the role women in the military. Historically, the role of women in the military has been reduced to simple roles such as cleaning and cooking (Neighbour, n.d). However, current debate has centered on the aspect of gender equality where it has been argued both military men and women should perform similar roles and duties in the military. Specifically, some have argued that military women should be allowed to fight on the frontline. This essay argues that indeed military women deserve to fight in frontlines during war. First, women make up a significant percentage of the military personnel in many countries today. In the United States for example, women account for almost 14% of the total military personnel (Moore, 2013). Considering these numbers, women need to be given the opportunity to actively defend their country, just like men. A country does not belong to men alone. Both sexes should be given the chance to participate in building and protecting their...
Essay about Women in the Military
...Janice Hollingsworth Prof. Mayo English 1010 8 July 2011 Women in the Military – Women's Fight to Fight There has always been debate over whether or not women should serve in the military. Some argue that women should be the protected and not the protectors. Others argue that women in the military would only serve as a distraction to male soldiers and to the serious business of war. Then there is the question of a woman's capabilities. Can a woman withstand the same rigorous requirements that are expected of their male counterparts? Despite the debates and speculation, women have always been present and will always be present in the military. From the behind the scenes telephone operators, to the nurses caring for the wounded on the battlefield, all the way up to the highest ranking officers, women hold important key positions in the armed forces. Women are making their presence in the military known and are demanding recognition for service for both past and present service. The sacrifices of all women serving the military on the sidelines as nurses, cooks, seamstresses, and secretaries are somewhat well known. But very little is documented about women's roles in the military history as enlisted soldiers. In the 11 Nov. 2004 article "Historian Recalls Women's Roles at Army Camp Hale" by Dave Curtain of the Denver Post, Curtain describes the quest to restore the...
Essay about Military Life
...Joining the military was not an easy process. Every day was a constant struggle. There were days when I honestly felt that I would not be experience a new life and adventures than what was concerned normal. It all began towards the end of junior in high school. I was walking towards the end of the lunch line when a man dressed in a nicely pressed tan shirt and dark blue pants with very shinny shoes approached me with a smile and said "Hello, bud how is it going?" I stopped and looked at him with a concerned facial expression on my face and replied saying "I am fine sir?" With a smile and on his face is laughed and asked if he could have few minutes of my time. I replied "Sure you may" wondering what he was going to say. As I began to approach the table I began to notice a lot of flyers and paper expressing in bold letters how I could change my life and career if I made the decision to joining the service. At the moment I was not looking forward to joining the service so I was really interested. I stood their patiently waiting to hear what would I would be enlightened with when he asked me to take a seat. I sat down and began to give him my undivided attention. He started the conversation by saying "Hi! My name is SSG DelaRosa and I am in the Marine Corp." I replied "Nice to meet you SSG DelaRosa. I am Daniel." He extended his hand to give me a hand change and I extended mine in return. After our meet and greet he began to ask me if I had plans...
Essay about Spartan Military
...Spartan Military From about the time of the Persian invasion until the Battle of Leuctra, Sparta was viewed as the powerhouse of the Greek city-states. There were numerous reasons behind their success, but there are few that stand out as the most prevalent. Spartan boys are born to be warriors, they are sent to the Agoge at the age of seven and forced to abide by the Laws set by Lycurgus the Lawgiver. Spartan men never had to worry about chores or any work that was done in the kleroi, allowing more time and focus to be dedicated towards militaristic training. The Spartan army had the ability to call upon the Perioikoi and Helots if need be as extra warriors, which became a significant advantage at time. These reasons, along with various others, are why the Spartan army was able to succeed and become the dominant force in ancient Greece. From the moment of birth, Spartan males are judged whether they have the capacity to be a great soldier. The sole purpose of Spartan men is to be a great warrior that can service the Spartan society by contributing to their military powerhouse. According to the ancient Greek historian Plutarch, "as boys reached the age of seven, Lycurgus took charge of them all himself and distributed them into troops". The education of Spartan boys was almost entirely militaristic and the focus was to prepare them for a majority of their adult life in warfare. During their time in the Agoge as boys, Spartan men lived...
Gays in the Military Research Paper
...Should Gays and Lesbians be allowed in the military? COM/215 Essentials of College Writing February 28 2011 Government Policy During the 1992 presidential campaign the previous Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton addressed the issue of gays in the military. "It became one of the first issues Clinton tackled as President, but when the White House attempt to unilaterally repeal the ban stumbled, Congress passed a law to keep openly gay men and women from serving" (Webley, 2010, p. 1). On September 20, 2011 President Obama lifted the ban on gays in the military. "The change will allow service members to be open about their sexual orientation" (Youssef & Tate, 2011, p. 1). Some limitations and apprehensions about gays in the armed forces center on military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and combat operations. There is a high probability for potential moral, legal and ethical challenges such as "housing allowances, health care for spouses and children, or support for their families during overseas deployments" (Youssef & Tate, 2011, p. 1). Married gay and lesbian couples will not be able to receive all traditional military benefits provided to heterosexual couples because of government regulations.

Q: Print only files, directories containing files and empty directories I am trying to index some LTO tapes (and some hard disks as well) and would like a simple output, stored in a text file. Something like the example below:
...
/home/norg/Desktop/empty\ dir/
/home/norg/Documents/file.txt
...

The "empty dir" folder is, of course, an empty folder. Notice how folders like "Desktop" and "Documents" are only printed because they have contents inside them. In other words, /home/norg/Desktop/ would never be printed, unless it were empty.
I've tried things like ls -RFad /home/norg/ and some find syntaxes to varying success. The trickiest part is having the empty directories printed, but not the full ones. I hope this makes sense. Thanks.
Another thing to mention, I would really prefer this to work in one go, as I will be using this with tape and want to have as little reads as necessary to reduce wear.

A: find /home/norg \( -type d -empty \) -o -type f

This will list empty directories and regular files which are below /home/norg.
Although the question title mentions "directories containing files", those are not printed as an item, per the ¡question text.
Also note that it only prints regular files. If you have e.g. fifos or devices, those would not appear (and if you had a folder only containing a device, it would not be printed, either). In case you wanted to also include them, you may use
find  \( -type d -empty \) -o -not -type d

High Chlorine Levels at Winsford Swimming Pool Hosptialised 10 Children
Investigations are underway following an incident at Winsford Lifestyle Centre on Tuesday 10th March.
Shortly after 2 pm police, ambulance and crews from Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service responded to reports of a number of children becoming unwell at the Winsford Lifestyle Centre. It is understood that around 56 children from Winsford High Street Primary School were at the centre for swimming lessons. Most were poolside when a small group in the water began coughing. All 56 were taken to a rest centre set up at nearby Wyvern House for a medical examination and the majority were allowed to go home. 10 children and one adult were taken to Leighton Hospital in Crewe with respiratory problems and for 'further assessment of non-serious injuries' after initial checks of each person.
Health and safety officers from Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWaC) and pool contractors from the authority spent hours looking into the cause. Evidence from the investigation, indicated that the balance tank water combined chlorine level in the pool had been higher than normal and this could have caused odour and discomfort, which a CWaC spokesperson said was down to a 'technical issue'. The spokesperson added:
Low suction in the balance tanks may have caused a build-up of the higher level of combined chlorine and subsequent odour in the pool hall environment, which was caused by a technical issue with the suction in the balance tank and this will be rectified by an engineer. As a precaution, the balance tanks have now been drained and refilled with fresh water.
Winsford Lifestyle Centre Swimming Pool Opened in 2009
Both pools at Winsford Lifestyle Centre (which is run by Brio Leisure) were reopened as normal on Wednesday morning. The 10 Children taken to hospital were not found to be in a serious condition and all allowed home after several hours of observation. Half were back at school the following day while the others recuperated at home.
The the new £10.8million Winsford Lifestyle Centre replace the old Winsford sports centre seven years ago – when developer Morgan Ashurst handed the keys over to Vale Royal Borough Council. Desco were the consulting engineers appointed to deliver the M&E services and pool water consultancy at the time of the pool's construction.
Is is difficult to understand how an accident of this nature could happen with the quality of the swimming pool control equipment that is in place in pools nowadays
an industry expert explained to Stonehewer Moss. It would seem likely that this is the result of an accident or negligence.
