Welcome to the official website of Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. This site is provided as a public service through the cooperative efforts of Minot Air Force Base (5th Bomb Wing Public Affairs) and Air Force Global Strike Command Public Affairs.
Air Force Mission
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace.
To achieve that mission, the Air Force has a vision:
The United States Air Force will be a trusted and reliable joint partner with our sister services known for integrity in all of our activities, including supporting the joint mission first and foremost. We will provide compelling air, space, and cyber capabilities for use by the combatant commanders. We will excel as stewards of all Air Force resources in service to the American people, while providing precise and reliable Global Vigilance, Reach and Power for the nation.
The Air Force has three core competencies: Developing Airmen, Technology-to-Warfighting and Integrating Operations. These core competencies make our six distinctive capabilities possible:
Air and Space Superiority: With it, joint forces can dominate enemy operations in all dimensions -- land, sea, air and space.
Global Attack: Because of technological advances, the Air Force can attack anywhere, anytime -- and do so quickly and with greater precision than ever before.
Rapid Global Mobility: Being able to respond quickly and decisively anywhere we're needed is key to maintaining rapid global mobility.
Precision Engagement: The essence lies in the ability to apply selective force against specific targets because the nature and variety of future contingencies demand both precise and reliable use of military power with minimal risk and collateral damage.
Information Superiority: The ability of joint force commanders to keep pace with information and incorporate it into a campaign plan is crucial.
Agile Combat Support: Deployment and sustainment are keys to successful operations and cannot be separated. Agile combat support applies to all forces, from those permanently based to contingency buildups to expeditionary forces.
The Air Force bases these core competencies and distinctive capabilities on a shared commitment to three core values -- integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.
Dept. of the Air Force
The Department of the Air Force is headquartered in the Pentagon, Washington D.C. The service is organized in nine major commands throughout the world which provide combat aircraft, airlift, refueling, reconnaissance and other support to the Unified Combatant Commands.
The Air Force also has more than three dozen field operating agencies and direct reporting units which directly support the mission by providing unique services.
Together with Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard forces, the United States Air Force is the best in the world.
The Secretary of the Air Force is Heather Wilson, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force is Gen. David L. Goldfein, the Vice Chief of Staff is Gen. Stephen W. Wilson and the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force is CMSAF Kaleth O. Wright.
AFGSC Mission
Airmen providing strategic deterrence, global strike and combat support...anytime, anywhere!
AFGSC Vision
Innovative leaders providing safe, secure and effective combat-ready forces for nuclear and conventional global strike...today and tomorrow!
AFGSC Motto
Deter...Assure...Strike!
Minot Air Force Base Mission
Minot Air Force Base is home to two major Air Force units: the 5th Bomb Wing and the 91st Missile Wing. The 5th Bomb Wing and 91st Missile Wing are Air Force Global Strike Command units. The 5th Bomb Wing is the host wing.
5th Bomb Wing Mission: Known by its nickname, the Warbirds, the 5th Bomb Wing and its fleet of B-52H Stratofortress bombers serve as part of the Air Force's conventional and strategic combat force as AEF warriors. The men and women of the wing are capable of flying anywhere around the world and delivering a wide range of precision-guided bombs and munitions. Excellence is the daily standard and is echoed by its motto, "Guardians of the Upper Realm."
91st Missile Wing Mission: As one of the Air Force's three operational intercontinental ballistic missile units, the 91st Missile Wing, whose members are known as the Rough Riders, are responsible for strategic deterrence by operating, maintaining and securing a fleet of 150 Minuteman III missiles located in underground launch facilities positioned in a 8,500 square mile missile complex located in the northwest part of the state.

The Case for Shared Parenting
There is a groundswell of activity and energy swirling throughout North America as lawmakers take a closer look at shared parenting, also known as joint physical custody.
Despite the best efforts of dinosaur lawyers and jaded feminists to disparage a better model for parenting, shared parenting is a child-centered response to the institutionalized model of parenting that has plagued families far too long.
Based on twentieth century cultural traditions of stay-at-home moms and working dads, the maternal preference was shored up by untested psychological theories about mothers and children that unwittingly led to a template of a "visiting" parent, usually relegated to every second weekend for a total of four nights per month.
The primary caregiver model became the default position without consideration of the quality of parenting, the psychological functioning of each parent, or the history and nature of the parent/child relationship.
Good parents were lumped together with dysfunctional parents because judges relied on precedent, a straight-jacket that we now know has hurt generations of children and needlessly disempowered parents.
Later most jurisdictions added a week night visit for the non-custodial parent. Who are we kidding by using gender neutral language? It's "Dads" that are marginalized by these entrenched legal and judicial practices.
But the tide is slowly turning as the public clamour for a more civilized way to determine custody, and social science researchers provide empirical evidence that compels a reconsideration of a parenting regime that is far past its due date.
Dr. Joan Kelly, well-known psychologist and parenting researcher, confirms the literature demonstrates numerous benefits to children when their living arrangements enable supportive and loving fathers to be actively involved in their children's lives on a weekly and regular basis, including overnights. The outcomes for children include better psychological and behavioral adjustment, and enhanced academic performance.
She also notes that children and adolescents who have lived in a shared parenting arrangement are generally satisfied, feel loved, have less feelings of loss, and do not frame their lives through the lens of parental divorce, compared with those who have been placed in the sole custody of their mothers.
With the endorsement of 110 international research scholars, Dr. Richard Warshak recently published "Social Science and Parenting Plans for Young Children: A Consensus Report" in Psychology, Public Policy and Law 2014 Vol. 20 #1- p.46-67 which concludes that shared parenting should be the norm for children of all ages, including very young children. The consensus was that 50/50 parenting is also indicated where the logistics of the parents' schedules are compatible with that arrangement.
Of course, it is universally accepted that deficient, negligent or abusive parents, and those that may have mental illness or substance abuse problems will rarely be candidates for shared parenting.
Public sentiment on shared parenting can be illustrated by Massachusetts' 2004 non-binding election ballot where 85% of voters, numbering 530,000 people, agreed that children should live with both parents following divorce. In another survey of 375 people called for jury duty, 67% of them favoured shared residential parenting. (Braver et al 2011)
Presently seven States promote shared parenting including Arizona, Alaska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, and Wisconsin. A Florida bill for alimony reform and shared parenting was expected to pass, but was crushed by a veto from Florida's governor. The proposed amendment sought to increase the minimum amount of parenting time from 25% to 35%.
Connecticut established a Task Force to study the issue of shared parenting, with a report expected this month. In Maryland, legislators initiated a Commission on Child Custody Decision Making with a report due in late 2014.
Canada's Bill C-560 on shared parenting is scheduled for second reading in the House of Commons in mid-March 2014. In previous iterations of this bill there has been non-partisan support from the Liberals, Conservatives and the Green Party, the latter two include shared parenting in their platforms.
For those who ignore the burgeoning research and say the jury is still out, or those who continue to rely on the tired refrain that shared parenting is impossible with the rancour that accompanies divorce, a new day is dawning.
It can't come too quickly for Canada's children.

Dorcy Pruter says:
Thank you Georgialee We at the Conscious Co-Parenting Institute totally agree. The easiest way to prevent Parental Alienation in for a shared parenting arrangement, this gives the child the opportunity to maintain a relationship with both parents. Children have the greatest opportunity to learn the skills of resilience in dealing with high conflict people, which they will encounter throughout their lifetime, when they are able to have a relationship with both of their parents even in high conflict situations. These children learn batter coping skills, acceptance of all people, and gain the understanding that all people have good and bad qualities and behaviors. I am going to reblog on our blog as well. Thank you for posting. Dorcy Pruter:-)
Thank you. A subject near and dear to my heart. For more than 30 years now.
Lindsay K. says:
As a child who grew up in a shared parenting situation, I have to agree. It was hard, especially with my mom trying for years to deny my father custody, and the both of them badmouthing one another. But do I think being in the sole custody of my mom would have been better? No. And I'm glad my dad fought so hard to keep her from taking us away from him – as an adult, it means far more to me now than it did as a child, but he spent a lot of money on lawyers to tell me how much he loved me.
Texas does not promote shared parenting as the artcle says. Texas uses " in the best interest of the child" and that is a FAR cry from shared parenting. There is a growing movement for Share Parenting in Texas, but we are not where Oklahoma and the other states are.
Georgialee Lang says:
Andrea Thank you for your input and correction. The research I relied on included Texas as a shared parenting state, obviously it was wrong. I have amended the article to correct the error and thank you again. I strive to be as accurate as possible. Best regards, Georgialee
Sheila P. says:
We in North Carolina's volunteer group KN2P (KidsNeed2Parents) greatly appreciate Georgialee's message & will share it with our legislators. Too many children are being hurt by the current vague "child's best interest" standard. Presumed shared parenting IS in the child's best interest–& our families' & nations'.
Grant A. Brown says:
I have written a book supporting shared parenting, and debunking the arguments for the status quo, called "Ideology and Dysfunction in Family Law: How Courts Disenfranchise Fathers." It is expected to be released in the coming weeks, so be looking for it. It is jointly published by the Canadian Constitution Foundation and the Frontier Centre for Public Policy.
Cheers and thanks,

another depressed dad says:
I am told Arizona does support shared parenting by law, but it will still take years if not decades to get that understood by the various court psychologists and the judges who rely on them.
Basically, I went into court that supported me "by law" but relied on a court psychologist that told me flat out he didn't believe in parental alienation and that at the age of 14, my girls were old enough to decide who they wanted to be their parent.
So my ex's campaign of 6 years of alienation was given its final reward.
Thanks for your post
I feel so defeated with the court system here in BC. It feels like the judges in provincial court are still clinging to the old mindset and not paying attention to our changing laws. I had mediation today with my ex. We have shared guardianship of my 3 year old son Noah. We share parenting time split down the middle for the past 2 years, he's with me Wednesday to Sunday. Recently my ex has filed for Primary residency and child support. She has a lawyer and I can't afford one. It's confusing for me that all the research I do on the government websites regarding the New family law act emphasize shared parenting time and responsibility, but all the judges still use old terminology like "visitation" and view it with a bias towards the mother. My ex has violated every consent order, alienated me as the father, and even tried to take my son out of Canada (my ex is not a Canadian). No judge cares. They have even ruled orders in her favor. Now she is trying to put even more distance between my son and I, and make me pay, and the judge today told me that I am going to have an "uphill" climb to convince any judge that it would be better for Noah to be with Dad half the time, even though he has been with me the majority of the time and my ex abandoned the home when he was 14 months old. Now I have a hearing to look forward to, where I don't have a lawyer and I'm in a forum with dinosaur judges that don't care what I think. If anyone knows how to help, please let me know. I need some guidance here.

ProjectsatWork has published a study called Distributed Agile Teams: Achieving the Benefits. The report was put together by Elizabeth Harrin (@PM4Girls), who is the author of the website A Girls Guide to Project Management. The results of the research cover a lot of ground with respect to what makes distributed Agile projects work and what can contribute to their failure. The report is very insightful and definitely worth the time it takes to read. While some of the findings may seem like common sense, knowledge workers in the IT space (myself definitely included) seem to possess a remarkable capacity for periodic loss of grip to that tether.
Don't act like your project is co-located – pay the tax for distribution.
This is one of the most simple things that so many of us forget when we are working at a distance. I believe this applies whether you are working down the hall from someone, or across the globe… there is a price that has to be paid when you are not sitting in the same room. With the transparency that Agile offers, this tax becomes far more obvious. There is no doubt that distributed teams provide a number of benefits, but those benefits come at a cost. The reason (IMHO) so many people struggle so much with distributed is that they keep thinking that the ride is free … which it theoretically could be… unless you actually want it to work.

Researchers have found subtle damage in the brains of HIV-positive patients whose viral load is effectively suppressed by anti-retroviral therapy. In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers from the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center (SFVAMC) used a combination of MRI brain imaging, recording of electrical brain activity, and behavioral tests to compare the size and function of brains of HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy with those of healthy subjects.
Although it is not known whether any or all of the damage occurred before patients started drug therapy, even minor damage that is present now should serve as a warning, says Linda Chao, PhD, the study's lead author and an assistant adjunct professor with the Magnetic Resonance Unit of the SFVAMC and the Departments of Psychiatry and Radiology at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). "People are starting to get lax about AIDS now," Chao says. "You see people on antiretroviral medications and they seem fine. But the take-home message of our study is that antiviral medications might not be stopping brain damage. When we put patients' brains under closer scrutiny, we saw that they were affected."
"The results of our study raise the concern of brain injury in HIV subjects who are on treatment, even among those who are virally suppressed," says the study's senior investigator, Michael Weiner, MD, of the Magnetic Resonance Unit, SFVAMC, and the Departments of Radiology, Psychiatry, Medicine and Neurology at UCSF. "What we don't know is whether or not these changes occurred some time ago, prior to effective treatment, or whether these changes represent ongoing injury."
The study appears in the November 14 issue of NeuroReport. HIV or human immunodeficiency virus, the pathogen that causes AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, can produce neurological abnormalities in any part of the nervous system, including the brain. Symptoms of HIV brain damage may include depression, memory loss, a slowing of mental and physical response time and sluggishness in limb movement. These symptoms can progress to a severe disorder known as HIV dementia, an advanced stage of neurological damage that, before the advent of antiretroviral drug therapy, afflicted some 20 percent of HIV patients. These patients experienced such symptoms as severe memory loss and cognitive impairment, tremors, hyperactive reflexes, immobility, and loss of speech.
Now that antiretroviral drugs have become widely accessible in the U.S., the prevalence of HIV dementia and other neurological problems associated with HIV have sharply declined. But the drugs do not eliminate the virus: they merely suppress it. And while HIV can make its way through the blood-brain barrier (the body's natural defense mechanism that prevents many blood-borne substances from passing into brain tissue), antiretroviral drugs are largely excluded by the barrier.
Taking the first steps to determine how the virus may be affecting the brains of people taking antiretroviral drugs, Chao and her research team compared 39 people who tested positive for HIV who had been taking antiretroviral drugs for at least three months with 39 control subjects not infected by the virus. The HIV-positive group was further divided into two subgroups: a "virally suppressed" group whose 16 members had no detectable virus in blood samples, and a "viremic" group whose 23 members had substantial virus in blood samples. Whether virally suppressed or viremic, all subjects in these groups were healthy with no symptoms of HIV infection.
Study participants ranged in age from 25 to 57 years. All had from 12 to 20 years of education, and no one with a history of substance abuse or psychiatric or neurological disorders was included in the study. Due to inherent difficulties in determining when HIV infection has taken place, this information was not available for study participants.
Recording of brainwaves during task performance. Researchers recorded subjects' contingent negative variation (CNV), a type of brainwave, while subjects performed a reaction time test. The CNV is considered to be a measure of anticipation and preparation potential as well as an indication of a person' s ability to initiate physical action.
Neuropsychological testing. Participants performed a battery of tests designed to assess memory and mental agility.
MRIs. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the size of various parts of the brains of 31 HIV patients and 35 control subjects.
The biggest difference in test results between groups came from the contingent negative variation brainwave recordings. When Chao charted the magnitude of brainwaves during the computer task performance test, she found that while CNV activity among HIV-negative participants surged shortly after appearance of the first image, it remained nearly flat among both the viremic and virally suppressed HIV-positive participants. Lack of CNV response is generally an indication of damage or destruction to brain cells in the basal ganglia, a part of the brain that coordinates motor behavior and one of two brain structures where HIV tends to concentrate.
Chao also found that among control subjects, the stronger their CNV activity, the faster their response time. But there was no correlation between CNV activity and response time among HIV-positive participants. Nevertheless, HIV-positive participants had just as good response times as control subjects. There is a possible explanation, says Chao: the flat CNVs recorded among the HIV-positive participants are possibly an indication that HIV has damaged the normal neurological linkage between a stimulus (for example, a hand touching a hot pan) and a reaction (pulling the hand away). But the fact that response times were equal could mean that alternate neurological pathways that compensate for the disruption have developed in the brains of the HIV-positive subjects.
To assess where HIV-triggered damage might be occurring in the brain, Chao examined the relationship between the strength of CNV activity during the reaction-time test, with MRIs of study subjects' caudate nuclei, a substructure of the basal ganglia. She found that the weaker the CNV among HIV-positive participants the more reduced the caudate volume. "The basal ganglia is a part of the brain known to carry one of the highest viral burdens," she says. Because there is also evidence that the CNV partially originates in this part of the brain, finding this correlation [between weak CNVs and reduced caudate volume] is a nice tie-in that gives us more confidence in our conclusions about where and how damage is occurring."
MRI measurements also revealed that the volume of the brain structure known as the thalamus was smaller both in viremic and in virally suppressed participants than in controls, an indication of damage in this region. The thalamus serves as a relay station for sensory information.
Results of the behavioral tests were mixed. On several tests, there were no differences between the three groups. And on all tests virally suppressed patients scored as well as the control group. But on three tests, scores of viremic participants were significantly lower than those of virally suppressed participants and the controls. "People with lower scores like these might not be able to do such things as type as fast as before, and they might not have as good attention or mental flexibility as the people who scored higher," Chao says. "But unless they were challenged daily, this is something they probably wouldn't notice, because these are the kinds of things that are more easily compensated for."
Previous studies have already shown that when viral load is reduced by antiretroviral therapy, behavioral performance improves. But in running several kinds of tests and comparing their results, the research team was able to scrutinize their findings in a new light. To determine whether injury is ongoing, Weiner says, follow-up studies that assess HIV-positive patients over a longer time period are needed.
Additional study authors are Valerie A. Cardenas, PhD, assistant adjunct professor and Dieter J. Meyerhoff, PhD, associate professor, both of the Magnetic Resonance Unit, SFVAMC and Department of Radiology, UCSF; Johannes C. Rothlind, PhD, assistant adjunct professor, Department of Psychiatry, UCSF; and Derek L. Flenniken. B.S., and Joselyn A. Lindgren, M.S., staff research associate, both of the Magnetic Resonance Unit, SFVAMC.
The study was funded by a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes of Health.
* Recording of brainwaves during task performance. Study participants viewing a computer were shown two successive images. The first image, an X, served as an alert that the second image, a plus sign (+), would appear within two to 20 seconds. Immediately upon appearance of the second image, participants were to press a button with the index finger of their dominant hand. During the test, researchers recorded a type of brainwave called the contingent negative potential or CNV, which is considered to be a measure of the subjects' anticipation and preparation potential as well as their ability to initiate physical action. The basal ganglia is one of the brain structures thought to contribute to the CNV. It coordinates motor behavior and is also one of two brain structures where HIV tends to concentrate.

Possibilities of using existing ground (TV centers, broadcasting stations) and space (global navigation satellite systems) radio systems for solving the problem of remote sensing and monitoring of the environment and objects in it are considered. The methods of diagnostics of the troposphere, description of the refractive index with the use of semi-Markov processes and atomic functions of Kravchenko-Rvacheva are proposed. The seasonal and altitudinal dependencies of radio-meteorological parameters and radio-climatic features of Ukraine were studied. Technologies for determining the effective gradient of the refractive index by damping factor of the VHF signals of television centers on the OTH routes in the zone of the near geometric shadow, on the angles of radioa "rise" and "sets" of the AES, detection of precipitation zones by the fluctuations of the pseudoranges and changes of the coordinates estimates, parameters of the surface of the earth by the fluctuations of the GNSS signals.

It seeks to explore the significant part that gardens and garden-making play, and have played, in relation to critical questions and practices of ecology and environment. It welcomes contributions on the representation of gardens in disciplines such as literature, art, film, sociology, economics and law; and interdisciplinary projects that attend to, for example, the interweavings of contemporary sustainability discourse and systems thinking, network theories and complexity studies. A special and local focus will be the Botanic Gardens in Singapore which has very recently been made a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Photographer Shoots Street Style Series To Raise Money For Skid Row Artists
By Sasha Bronner

"I wanted to show something uplifting and joyful," French photographer Geraldine Freyeisen told The Huffington Post from her windowless studio, just steps from Los Angeles' Skid Row, on a sweltering afternoon in March.
Freyeisen has spent the last year in the most densely populated homeless community in the U.S. The 35-year-old's images of incredible fashion in Skid Row are bright, fierce, full of light and full of life. To understand Skid Row, "you need to have a reason to be here," she said. "If I were to just pass by, I would have missed the whole thing."
Motivated by a free fashion school developed in the favelas of Brazil, Freyeisen is launching a fashion line in collaboration with Skid Row artists -- 50 percent of the proceeds will go directly back to them.
"What people don't really know about the neighborhood is the creativity," she said. "And it's not just the style -- I have met so many artists here."
Freyeisen bought a sewing machine and keeps it in her studio. There are already racks of clothes hanging in the corners of the space and fabric, paint and yarn on the shelves. "When you take photos, you're a spectator. I wanted to be active," she said.

Launching a brand -- it's already trademarked, called The Swagabonds -- is not easy in this kind of an environment. Finding artists to work with who are sober and capable of representing themselves were the biggest two concerns, she said.
"I took photos of the Flower Man. He's been homeless for 30 years and he has that name because he makes these little flowers out of ribbon," she said of a man named Donald. "He is very stylish and creative."
Freyeisen arranged for the two of them to take a sewing class together and now the Flower Man makes his designs out of higher quality material and -- "voilà," she said -- they sew the flowers onto jackets.
Her plan is to sell online -- and not cheaply. The price point will be around $300, and while artists will take home 50 percent of the proceeds, the other half will cover the costs of the project.
She buys clothes, mostly jackets and sweaters so far, from second hand stores and the Skid Row artists are experimenting with adding embroidery and painting. Freyeisen has also screen printed one artist's painting onto the backs of jackets.

She has already invested over $10,000 of her own money for studio rent, the trademark lawyer, clothes, fabric, a camera and the sewing machine.
"It goes fast," she said of the money. "But I know it's going to work. The story is so powerful."
She hopes to raise money with a crowd-sourced funding campaign, either on Indiegogo or Kickstarter, and is putting together a video to help explain the project.

Freyeisen is typically Parisian, with a chic nickname -- Gigi -- a soft French accent and daring style. Wearing a denim jumpsuit that she made, high tops and a red chain link belt, she practically floats up the stairs of the old building where she recently began renting a studio for $400 a month.
Even though she lives about nine miles away in West Hollywood, Freyeisen spends most of her time here -- taking photographs and working with Skid Row artists on The Swagabonds fashion.
Just a block away, over 17,000 homeless people have set up a world within a world in downtown Los Angeles. Skid Row's four-mile district includes tent camps, homeless shelters, churches, low-income housing and many non-profits that are there to assist the community. While many have been homeless for 20 or 30 years, the neighborhood is also made up of artists, social workers and activists.
If Freyeisen seems like an outsider, it's because she is. Her background is in luxury branding, after all. She worked for a niche company in Paris and was responsible for telling the story behind cosmetic brands, and in some cases, choosing the names of many perfumes. After seeing the documentary "Lost Angels," Freyeisen says she immediately became interested in learning more about Skid Row and wanted to meet the people who lived there.
About a year ago (she had already been living in Los Angeles for three), she found a job assisting on a that was filming in Skid Row -- about women recovering through drama therapy -- and slowly began to meet her subjects.
"For weeks, I would never take photos," she said. "I would walk around and stay in the park. Because the documentary was very involved in the community, I would go to events and get to know people."

Andrew, always so elegant, posing on Stanford Avenue.

She never advertised herself as a photographer. Keeping her camera always in her bag, Freyeisen says bonding with the residents of Skid Row was a long process and something she didn't want to rush. It's all about your attitude, she said. What are you about? Do you have genuine intentions?
Freyeisen grew up with a mother who was deeply drawn to helping others. As a little girl, she would see her mom routinely provide food for homeless individuals and sex workers and even open their home up to Parisians recently out of jail.
"[My mother] passed away and I realized I am a lot like her," she said.
Being foreign in Skid Row played its part in helping her form relationships, too: "People were curious, in a good way."
JR, capturing light on Main Street.
Positive news is rarely reported out of Skid Row. But Freyeisen's vibrant photos illuminate something inspiring and important: regardless of one's circumstances, the human spirit persists.
The issue of whether or not her photographs are exploitative comes up in our conversation. She, a white woman, points out the difference between exploiting the poverty that is on many corners and showcasing the talent in the neighborhood. By photographing personal style, she says she is highlighting something the subjects are proud of -- what they decided to wear that morning.

So far she is collaborating with six artists on the fashion project -- two young street artists, a young Skid Row community activist, Donald the Flower Man, a street musician and another woman who both live in the low income housing program in Skid Row. None of them have any formal design experience.
Freyeisen meets with the different artists in her studio (where many come to paint or work) and they sit down one-on-one to look at the art and decide together how it will work best on clothing, she said.
"I try as much as possible to involve everyone in the production. To me, the goal of this project is really to showcase and empower Skid Row artists so that -- when they want to -- then can start their fashion business on their own."
She says that the artists already involved in the project are very excited.
"They also feel empowered to do more," she said. "They're excited to the point that sometimes it wakes me up in the middle of the night; I planted so much hope and dreams that I can't disappoint them. It's not an option."
The two young street artists that she's worked with (they do paint splattering on jackets) have already started making their own clothes separate from Freyeisen's project.

"We try things, we explore together, we see what works," she said. "And if they want to, we can keep on collaborating. If they want to do things on their own, I encourage them to. It's supposed to be really open, with people coming in and out -- and new people coming in."
In one of her photos, a man confidently wears paint-splattered jeans, Nike sneakers, hologram sunglasses and a hard hat.
In another, a man with a large afro dons a disco shirt, black and white tuxedo shoes and sits atop an old suitcase while holding a cane.

Donald, also called the Flower Man, with his luggage at Gladys Park.
"I walk so much here that I know someone on every corner. Everyone has their spot," Freyeisen said. "It's like a village. Everyone waves at each other. Even though from the outside it looks like chaos, there is such a form of family here. With hate and love and everything."
Drug use and violence are simply realities of the neighborhood. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently under fire for the recent shooting of a black homeless man. A bystander caught it on video and Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti has begged the community to wait to pass judgment until an investigation is completed.
When Freyeisen's camera is out, she works fast. "You feel the vibe and trust your intuition a lot. I'm totally aware of my environment," she said.
Tammy, dancing on Main Street.
It's obvious when looking at Freyeisen's photos that far more men are featured than women are. "Women are tougher here," she said. "It's a male environment. I have girlfriends who work in finance and they have to be tougher because it's a man's world. It's the same here. With all of the drugs and the violence ... They have to be."
Mariah and Chrystal hanging out by San Julian Park.
The new sewing machine sits in her studio next to a framed quote by Martin Luther King Jr. that reads: "The time is always right to do what is right." Above the sofa rests a vision board with clipped images for inspiration for the clothing line.
Freyeisen says she is planning to go back to work in branding so that she can pay the bills and still work on her new project. Noting the name of the Skid Row fashion brand -- The Swagabonds, a combination of "swag" and "vagabond" -- Freyeisen said, "The link between all these people here is the swag. That's for sure."
Freyeisen stitches the words Skid Row across the backs of many jackets. "It's really a way to start the conversation. What I like so much about Skid Row is the pride people have. That's why I want to use this name."

Metro Water Services maintains the public stormwater system to prevent flooding in the public right of way, such as public streets and sidewalks, during a normal rain. This system is designed to handle typical amounts of rain and may not be able to handle flash flooding or larger flooding events.
More detailed information on these services is available in our Routine Maintenance Operating Policies.
Property owners are responsible for managing and maintaining stormwater issues affecting their private property. Below are a few ways you can help reduce the impact of stormwater and protect your property.
Plant a rain garden – rain gardens collect and slow the flow of stormwater runoff.
Install a rain barrel – rain barrels collect and store rainwater that can be reused to water lawns and gardens.
Plant trees – trees work in two ways to help reduce stormwater runoff. In addition to absorbing stormwater, leaves and branches intercept and store rain to delay the flow of stormwater runoff.
Adopt A Storm Drain – keeping storm drains free of clogs will keep water flowing away from your property. Watch our Adopt-A-Storm Drain video for more information and safety tips.
Elevate or relocate service equipment – in the event of a flood, electrical, HVAC, or other service equipment can be protected by elevating or relocating to an area not likely to be affected by flooding.
Install a sump pump – sump pumps help keep basements and crawls spaces dry by pumping water out of areas vulnerable to flooding or groundwater.

Get flood insurance – the best way to protect your property from flood damage is to get flood insurance. Flood insurance is available to everyone in Metro Nashville and Davidson County.
These are just a few of the ways you can help protect your property and reduce stormwater runoff. For more detailed information on these and other options for property owners, download Flood Education and Safety: What you Can Do.


We had a super busy day planned for Sunday so of course both of my children went completely insane. Caroline woke at 3 am all HAI GUISE I'M HERE LET'S PARTY. We took turns trying to get her back to sleep for two hours, until I gave up and brought her downstairs so I could at least watch TV while she boogied. We were on our second Law & Order rerun when I watched her nod off to sleep sitting on the floor and fall right over onto her head. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed pretty hard. I blame the exhaustion and also the hilarious look on her face.
Luckily, she forgave me and we took a little couch nap before we had to head out to our friend Thomas's 3rd birthday party.
Unluckily, Little Evan took one look at the karate studio where the party was being held and ran away shouting "NO THANK YOU MAMA NO THANK YOU". I eventually coaxed him into the room where he stood in a corner fake sobbing (he is TERRIBLE at fake sobbing, which is how I know it is fake) until the instructors got out a giant box of balls and encouraged the kids to throw them at each other. Apparently that's just too much fun to pass up.
In the mean time, I gave up on trying to keep Caroline in my lap and let her enjoy the party in her own 10 month old way.
All found at Target in the $1 section or in the baby shampoo aisle. No risk of giving the birthday boy a toy he already has or a piece of junk that breaks after 5 minutes, and hey, every kid takes baths!
After the party we ran home for a quick nap, threw my gnocchi casserole in the oven and headed over to our CSA for an end-of-season potluck.
Evan was obsessed with the apple cider.
Caroline was obsessed with our cups of wine.
It was a super fun, super busy, super exhausting, super long day but I can't really complain. Having too many friends is the kind of problem everyone ought to have.
E had this past week off, but instead of doing tons of super fun stuff I made a list of every single I-should-really-get-that-done-but-I'm-exhausted-from-chasing-the-kids chore I've been putting off for the past 3 years and started crossing them off. Hang pictures! Sort clothes! Organize the attic AND the basement! Get a new eyeglasses prescription! Wind and store all the yarn I've been hiding behind the elliptical trainer in the guest room! Do ALL the laundry!
I've got today and tomorrow to finish the rest of the list plus give the house a once-over cleaning, decorate for Halloween and finally make the loaf of almond bread and the pear-gorgonzola tart I've had bookmarked for weeks.
What do you MEAN this is the only picture you took all day? I'm freakin' ADORABLE!
Dino nuggets taste way better than regular nuggets. Just ask my toddler.
Giant carrot for lunch. Gotta keep that hair orange.
Day 1 of act like a grown up and take care of my skin. I even bought EYE CREAM.
Epic Michael's trip for Halloween decor. I decided the terrifying skeletons would be a poor choice for a kid's party.
I patched, sanded, and painted the walls going up the stairs.
Pair on the left cost $300. Pair on the right was free. I got both.
I thought this baby looked like Caroline so I bought this book. I'm going to knit the crap out of that sweater.
The ice cream stand was shockingly uncrowded on a Friday night. Maybe because it was only 60 degrees out.
Stop lookin' at my waffles like that.
My friend from @CostaFarms sent me a giant box of houseplants because she thought I'd like them. My goal is to keep them alive at least a week.
Bye-bye Back-yard-gans! Sing song! Bye-bye!
Time to go finish knitting Caroline's fall coat, bake, mop the floors, play legos with my kid, catch up on this week's TV and read all my friend's blogs that I've been neglecting all week. I'm looking forward to all of it.
Galette: n, a general term used in the French cuisine to designate various types of flat, round or free form crusty cakes. But it's not really a cake. It's like an unemployed pie that's stopped brushing its hair in the morning. A tart that's had four tequila shots and is getting sloppy. A pastry getting a liberal arts degree in underwater basket-weaving and whose mother keeps asking what it really wants to DO with its life.
It's easy-going, is what I'm saying. And easy to make – no lattice tops or fancy crimped edges here.
Up until about a month ago I had no idea what a galette even was. And then damn Martha Stewart went and mentioned them on TV and ever since I've been stalking recipes like it was my job. But it's been a zillion plus degrees and baking is hard with two babies trying to crawl into the oven so this weekend was my first chance to attempt one.
But because I'm an overachiever, we had a galettefest on Sunday and I made (and invented recipes for!) both a savory galette and a sweet galette. One from scratch, one the easy way. One was husband approved (I'll let you guess which one) but both were delicious.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet or pizza stone with cooking spray & roll out pizza crust. Spread 2 cups of the ricotta over the crust (like pizza sauce) leaving about 2 inches around all the edges. Thinly slice the squash, eggplant and onion (a mandolin makes this extra easy, but a knife works too) and put it in a medium sized bowl. Toss in the garlic and herbs and stir to combine.
Spread the veggie mixture out evenly over the ricotta and fold the 2 inch edge up over the filling. Beat the milk, egg and last 1/2 cup of ricotta in a small bowl and drizzle it over the veggies, starting near the edge (too much liquid in the middle will make your crust soggy)(trust me on this). Top the galette with the Parmesan and pop it in the oven for 25-35 minutes until the crust is browned and the middle is firm. Let it cool a little before shoving it into your face parts.
For the crust, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and use a fork to press it into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs (or use a food processor, but you won't get the awesome arm workout). Add the almond extract then the water a little at a time until you can press the dough together to make a ball. Try to touch it as little as possible. Cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for a few minutes.
Toss all the filling ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Let it sit while you make the topping.
Combine almonds, brown sugar and butter in a food processor. Process until almonds are finely ground and topping looks all crumbly.
Get your chilled dough from the fridge. On a well-floured surface using a well flowered rolling pin, roll out the dough into a big circle. Roll it up around your rolling pin, transfer it to a cookie sheet and spread it out again. Pour the filling into the middle of the circle and fold up at least 2-3 inches of the edge all the way around and press the pieces together so none of the filling leaks out (or you'll have to scrub it off the bottom of your oven after it's burnt on)(trust me on this).
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle almond-sugar mixture over the berries. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool for at least 20 minutes or you'll burn yourself. Top with whipped cream or ice cream for extra bonus yum.
I'm adding the recipes to the Tasty Kitchen site tonight, so you can save them to your recipe box over there (if you're a member) and find other amazing galette recipes for your summer produce.

Gossip, rumour, and scandals

2 Gossip, rumour, and scandals In this part of the book, the analysis of the relationship between the interpersonal and the mediated dimension of the public scandal is deepened.1 The preceding chapter made it clear that these dimensions are more or less interwoven, a circumstance to which media researchers have not paid a great deal of attention because they have, as a rule, chosen to focus on the media themselves, employing a narrow definition of the 'media' concept. In order to acquire an idea of the inherent mechanisms of the scandal phenomenon, the focus in

Living with scandal, rumour, and gossip
Series: Lund University Press
Author: Mia-Marie Hammarlin
This book illuminates the personal experience of being at the centre of a media scandal. The existential level of that experience is highlighted by means of the application of ethnological and phenomenological perspectives to extensive empirical material drawn from a Swedish context. The questions raised and answered in this book include the following: How does the experience of being the protagonist in a media scandal affect a person's everyday life? What happens to routines, trust, and self-confidence? How does it change the basic settings of his or her lifeworld?
The analysis also contributes new perspectives on the fusion between interpersonal communication that takes place face to face, such as gossip and rumours, and traditional news media in the course of a scandal. A scandal derives its momentum from the audiences, whose engagement in the moral story determines its dissemination and duration. The nature of that engagement also affects the protagonist in specific ways. Members of the public participate through traditional oral communication, one vital aspect of which is activity in digital, social forums.
The author argues that gossip and rumour must be included in the idea of the media system if we are to be able to understand the formation and power of a media scandal, a contention which entails critiques of earlier research. Oral interpersonal communication does not disappear when new communication possibilities arise. Indeed, it may be invigorated by them. The term news legend is introduced, to capture the entanglement between traditional news-media storytelling and oral narrative.

crises, they increasingly encounter media content that blurs the line between reality and fiction. This includes everything from rumours and exaggerations on social media, through to partisan journalism, satire and completely invented stories that are designed to look like real news articles. Although this media content varies enormously, it is often grouped together under nebulous and all-encompassing terms such as 'fake news', 'disinformation' or 'post-truth' media.

More than half of the patients admitted to ETUs died, and their bodies were buried anonymously (except in Liberia, where they have been mainly cremated), fostering rumours of body parts being harvested and of deliberate infection ( Calain and Poncin, 2015 ; Gomez-Temesio, 2018 ; Gomez-Temesio and Le Marcis, 2017 ).

Elizabeth Warren Would Rather Run Against Billionaires Than On Her Record
Senator Elizabeth Warren, a former corporate lawyer and Harvard lecturer, who started her career by falsely claiming to be American Indian, perpetuated it by flirting with libertarians and the GOP, before turning into a shrill socialist, wants to run against the "billionaires".
Warren has a net worth of $12 million and conveniently defines the 1% she's running against as anyone wealthier than her.
That's not a big group when you're a millionaire. So naturally she's going after what she calls the "super-rich". That's anyone richer than her.
Bloomberg's entry into the race has allowed Warren to continue throwing her 'billionaire' tantrum. Never mind the fact that Bloomberg has less chance of winning than Warren has of finishing a sentence without a squeak. This is about positioning her as someone with the populist cred to take on Trump.
Never mind that Trump can actually speak to the working class, while Warren never sounds like anything except a professor talking down to the proles.
But it's easier for Warren and Bernie Sanders, whose shtick she copied from back when she was a Republican, to run against billionaires than on their record. Sanders doesn't have a legislative record that amounts to anything. Warren has a track record of stunts that existed to position her for a presidential run. And running against billionaires means she can evade further discussions about her phony socialized medicine funding numbers.
Warren's campaign only exists because her facility at distraction.
After her DNA test blew up, she began compulsively releasing plans. Now that her plans blew up, it's time to pivot to more class warfare. And if that backfires, there'll be another DNA test that proves she's descended from Baron Munchhausen.

Archbishop Buechlein honored with CPA's highest award for publisher; Criterion staffers win several other awards
Assistant editor John Shaughnessy's story about sisters' Kelly and Megan Gardner's mission work in Peru won first place in the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith's "Interview with Missionaries" category. The sisters are graduates of Bishop Chatard High School and members of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, both in Indianapolis. The Criterion recently won four awards from the Catholic Press Association and the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
Criterion staff report
Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, publisher of The Criterion, the archdiocese's newspaper, has received the prestigious Bishop John England Award from the Catholic Press Association. It was one of four awards that the newspaper staff recently won from the Catholic Press Association and the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
The England award is named for the Irish-born bishop of Charleston, S.C., who founded The Catholic Miscellany, the oldest Catholic newspaper in the United States in terms of continuous publication.
Presented annually, the award recognizes publishers in the Catholic press for the defense of First Amendment rights, such as freedom of the press and freedom of religion. It is the CPA's highest award for publishers.
The award also recognized Archbishop Buechlein for his longstanding commitment to his column, "Seeking the Face of the Lord," published weekly in The Criterion.
When the nomination was made, Archbishop Buechlein had never missed a deadline for delivering his column since he became the leader of the archdiocese in 1992.
"Intensive radiation and chemotherapy treatments through much of 2008 to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma did not stop him from meeting his deadline," the nomination read.
"In fact, the archbishop's commitment to The Criterion is evident by his regular practice of delivering columns weeks ahead of time."
Archbishop Buechlein's commitment to the Catholic press goes back even further to his days as shepherd of the Diocese of Memphis.
While serving as bishop there, he developed his practice of penning a weekly column for the readers of Commonsense, the newspaper of the Diocese of Memphis.
The archbishop published columns for more than 1,000 consecutive weeks in those two Catholic newspapers. That amazing streak came to an end when he suffered a stroke three months ago. He continues to recuperate from his health setback, and continued prayers are appreciated.
When he first became a bishop in 1987, Pope John Paul II asked then-Bishop Buechlein to emphasize his role as teacher.
"This weekly column is an important opportunity to do so," he wrote in his first Criterion column in 1992.
Nearly 19 years later, the archbishop continues to do just that. He views the newspaper as his primary tool of evangelization, and his columns touch on important information about our faith and the life of the Church.
Archbishop Buechlein also believes Catholic newspapers have a key role in dealing with the challenges facing the Church.
"In order to provide information pertinent to the Church," he wrote, "a Catholic weekly will not only publish the good news about the Church, but when there is bad news it too is published."
Archbishop Buechlein has served as consultor for the USCCB Ad Hoc Committee to oversee the use of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, co-moderator of the Disciples of Christ-Roman Catholic International Dialogue, member of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis, consultor for the Vatican Congregation for Clergy, and member of the USCCB Committee on Divine Worship.
Assistant editor John Shaughnessy was recognized as a 2010 Archbishop Edward T. O'Meara journalism winner for outstanding world mission coverage. He won first place in the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith's "Interviews with Missionaries" category for a feature about Indianapolis residents Kelly and Megan Gardner.
The story, " 'There are so many ways to help': Two sisters share an amazing adventure of hope, faith and caring in a foreign land," focused on the sisters' mission work in an impoverished area of Peru. Graduates of Bishop Chatard High School in Indianapolis, the Gardners are members of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, also in Indianapolis.
The awards are named for the late Archbishop O'Meara, who served as the national director of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith from 1966 to 1979, and was Archbishop Buechlein's predecessor as shepherd of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis from 1979 to 1992. The society is responsible for informing Catholics about the Church's worldwide mission, and advising them of ways they can participate in that mission.
This is the fifth consecutive year that a staff member has been recognized for reporting on mission work, noted Criterion editor Mike Krokos.
"There is no doubt that Archbishop O'Meara is smiling right now," said Krokos as he reflected on the staff again being honored. "With the history of the awards and their connection to our late archbishop, we were very pleased to once again be recognized."
The CPA awards that staff members won for material published in 2010 include:
• First place—Best Regular Column, Family Life, reporter Sean Gallagher, for his monthly column "Faith and Family."
"These columns offer depth and good spiritual reflection on everyday life with a family of small children," judges wrote. "Good use of literary and scriptural references entwined with the family life anecdotes that make these columns helpful and inspiring."
• First place—Best Sports Journalism: Sports Feature or Column, assistant editor John Shaughnessy, for "Bigger than the game: Special bond forms between Catholic school, public school on Indianapolis softball diamond."
"Great story with a clean, flowing narrative. Touching, without being heavy-handed or corny," judges wrote. "Wonderful quotes. The Gospel comes to life—through sports."
Greg Otolski, The Criterion's associate publisher, said the award recognition was well deserved.
"We are especially happy that Archbishop Buechlein was recognized for his strong commitment to his newspaper and the Catholic press," he said. "It is also always affirming when our staff is honored for their excellence in journalism and dedication to the evangelizing mission of the Church." †


In case you live in a very cold temperature climate, regretfully, another operating season is around to summary. Soon your snow are going to be falling. It is now time to buy your bike set for winter months.
Here are generally some tricks to protect along with preserve your bike so it will be in a similar shape anyone store the idea in occur spring occasion. Some prep now will just remember to are out and about riding inside spring as an alternative to waiting throughout line with the dealers as well as fixing the idea yourself as part of your garage.
– Whenever possible, choose a place away via windows. Your ultraviolet lighting can lose colour paint along with plastic pieces.
– Sunlight can boost the ambient temperature in the storage area that can promote condensation if your sun fails, so deal with plain wine glass with some form of opaque product.
– Deal with your bike which has a specially made bike deal with, not a new sheet or possibly a tarp. These kind of materials will certainly promote oxidation underneath these people. A especially designed street motorcycle cover includes a mould resistant, breathable product.
Even if your oil is just not due for the change, byproducts involving combustion develop acids inside oil that can harm your inner material surfaces.
– Warm your engine for you to its standard operating temp, as hot oil drains considerably quicker and additional completely.
– Change your filter along with add fresh new oil.
– Complete the aquarium with fresh new fuel, but tend not to overfill. The best level is if your fuel only touches the lower of your filler guitar neck. This presents enough room to the fuel for you to expand with no overflowing your tank while temperature soars.
– Disconnect the gasoline petcock along with drain your carburetors plus the fuel collections. Add gasoline stabilizer in order to avoid the gasoline from planning stale, and aid the prevention of moisture piling up. It in addition prevents small ports as part of your carbs via gumming way up.
Observe: You only need to do this should your motorcycle are going to be stored for half a year or extended.
– Get rid of the spark plugs and fill a tablespoon involving clean serp oil as well as spray fogging gas into every single cylinder. Be sure you switch off of the fuel when you crank your engine or maybe you may possibly refill your drained carb supply!
– Terrain the ignition brings about prevent leads to igniting just about any fuel deposit. Turn your engine around several radical changes to propagate the gas around after which it reinstall your plugs. Refitting your plugs ahead of cranking your engine could result in a hydraulic fasten if excessive oil was employed in the cyndrical tube.
The battery have to be removed through the motorcycle if it's in hard drive. Motorcycles will have a smaller current drain regardless if the ignition is switched off (darker current), and a new discharged battery pack will sulfate with out longer be capable of sustain a new charge.
– A standard battery must be checked pertaining to electrolyte amount. Add distilled normal water to one of the cells which have been low after which it charge your battery.
– Battery pack charging must be performed at the least every a fortnight using a new charger containing an productivity of 10% in the battery ampere hours rating.
– Be sure you store in a very warm area away from the cement floorboards, as your harsh winter months temperatures are generally hard in batteries.
– Waxing along with polishing your motorcycle might appear like a new waste of your energy since you happen to be putting the idea away with out one will spot it. But making use of wax is an important part involving storing your current motorcycle. Wax will work as a screen against oxidation and humidity.
– Remember to spray some other metal materials (for example the frame as well as engine) which has a very lighting spray involving WD-40. This will likely keep these kind of areas glistening and shield them via corrosion also.
Mufflers are seen to rust fast after they are certainly not used, so ensuring that they are generally properly stored to the winter on the bike will save them via any oxidation.
– Bottle of spray light gas (including WD40) in the muffler concludes and strain holes.
– Softly stick a new plastic handbag (searching bag is okay) in the end of each one muffler opening (to hold moisture via getting inside exhaust).
– Deal with each muffler using another plastic-type material bag to hold outside humidity off.
– Check out both the front and backed tires using your air force gauge. Be sure each wheel is effectively inflated on the maximum propose pressure.
– Mainly because it gets frigid, air condenses as part of your tire so it is very important pump these people up about keep your current tires balanced. Rubber is often a flexible product and won't like for you to freeze (the idea cracks while it freezes). It pays to maintain your tires away from the freezing floorboards. JS Jacks' Major Wheel Street motorcycle Lift work just the thing for winter hard drive. It continues the weight in the bike away from the tires mainly because it sits over the winter along with prevents level spots.
– TEND NOT TO use a new tire attire on four tires (including Armor-All as well as tire cleanup foam) as this will likely make your tires challenging and evasive.
– If your brake as well as clutch body fluids haven't been recently changed in the last two several years (as well as 11, 000 mls), do it. The fluids employed in these devices absorb humidity. The toxified fluid will result in corrosion inside systems, which can cause problems if your motorcycle is utilized next planting season.
– With no the expertise to assistance these devices, contact your current dealer pertaining to assistance.
– Should your motorcycle can be liquid chilled, the coolant calls for changing every a couple of years or all day and, 000 as well as (15, 000 mls). Make certain that the serp is neat enough for you to rest your current hand into it before draining the system. Coolant/antifreeze can be purchased from your current dealer and possesses been developed to deliver the right protection for ones motorcycle serp. Mixed 50/50 using distilled normal water will guarantee a clean up system to the next a couple of years (as well as 15, 000 mls).
– Anyone can cover your bike while using cycle deal with and expect the 1st warm morning of planting season!

Last year, I tried an experiment... I decided to leave my MacBook Pro in its bag for an entire Friday, and rely 100% on just my iPad and iPhone to get me through the day. It was an interesting exercise, and one where I learned a lot about how I use and rely on technology. In the end, there wasn't a lot that happened that day that I couldn't accomplish on my iPad (read more here).
I thought I would take that same concept, but elevate it a little. Mondays are usually my busiest day, so what better day to perform the same test, right? The scenario is analogous to taking someone who is used to swimming in a swimming pool very day and asking them to swim the 20 miles across the English Channel. Just because you can swim doesn't mean you can survive a challenge like that. Similarly, just because you can use Facebook on an iPad doesn't mean you can use it to get real work done.
My day started off normal enough... wake up, check my social network feeds, check and respond to email that came in through the night, etc. The heavy lifting usually starts around 8:00a. That's when my laptop was tucked safely and securely into its WaterField case... not to be used again for the day.
Email (and a lot of it) and messages were sent and received consistently throughout the day. I created and modified a few spreadsheets and presentations using Apple's Numbers and Keynote apps. A few times during the day, I accessed a Windows-based Terminal Server to run some Windows-only apps (using Jump Desktop). I reviewed, signed and returned some contracts using DocuSign and even helped to plan out a building build-out using Paper by FiftyThree.
All in all, I felt just as productive as I would have been using my traditional MacBook Pro. In some cases, I felt more productive because I wasn't subjected to the constant barrage of dings and dongs going on in other windows that so easily distracts me from the task I'm working on at that moment. Case in point: I spent some time today composing a lengthy and important email. Ordinarily, that would have taken me half a day to compose because of the constant distractions. On my iPad, I was able to wrap that up in about 20 minutes and move on to the next thing.
Was there something missing? Yes. At one point during the day, I had the need to make some image edits using PhotoShop. These edits were more than just color adjustments... they definitely required PhotoShop. I simply put those off until later in the day when I pulled my laptop back out of the bag.
How did battery life hold up? I started the day at 8:00a with a full charge. By lunch-time, I was at 75%, when I turned my iPad off for about 1-20 minutes. After lunch, I turned it back on and kept it on until about 5:00p. At that point, the battery was at 7%. Considering I didn't give the device a break at all (except for a few minutes at lunch), I would say it held up really well. Oh, and the screen's brightness was set to about 90%.
I think the greatest part of experiments like this is my ability to think outside the box... to get away from traditional computing and look at things differently. The computing landscape is changing, and I can either dig my heels a little deeper each day, or embrace change and make the most of it. Change is scary for most, but it doesn't have to be. That fear can be overcome by making it your choice, not someone else's.
iPad of choice: iPad Air with 128 GB capacity, WiFi & LTE (all of which was enabled all day, as it usually is). I really, really like the iPad mini, but I type so much using the on-screen keyboard, that the larger screen is easier (note: I can type nearly as fast on the iPad as I can on a regular keyboard).
