This course introduces the student to all phases of the television field and studio production including concept development, scripting, preproduction, camera work, editing, sound mixing, and postproduction. Emphasis will be on the various technologies associated with video production. Students will be provided with an overview of the media industry and will learn the basic create, edit, and render skills needed to design and produce multimedia presentations that use video and audio resources. Students will learn to edit using the Adobe Production Suite (Premiere, Photoshop, & After Effects). Students will also participate in the production of a campus broadcast (MAV TV).
Approximate Timelines and Due Dates of Long Term Projects
MAV TV: Weekly broadcast that will include stories and packages (Sports, School News, Campus Activities, PSA's) Each student will be assigned a project (some will be weekly projects) that contribute to the MAV TV broadcast. Most students will have ample time to complete the projects during class; however, additional lab hours will be provided either before school or after school for those students who need/want the extra time to work on the assigned activity. Work evenings/nights should be expected for each deadline.
General Methods of Assessment and Grade Calculations
Assessment will be based on daily participation, classwork, tests and deadlines/projects. The Alvin ISD late work policy will be followed.
Grading Criteria
Daily Grades (quizzes, assignments.) – 40%
Daily Grades/Projects - 60%
* Students are responsible for the safe use of very valuable AV equipment, including but not limited to: video cameras, tripods, light kits, microphones, and computers. Students will be instructed and tested on the safe use of this equipment. Strict check-out and check-in rules are in place. If a student checks out equipment he/she is responsible for its safe-keeping. Only the student who checks out the equipment and his/her classmates may use the equipment. Only authorized students and other personnel are allowed inside the control room and/or studio. Damage to any equipment determined to be caused by negligence or malice could result in failure of the class and action by campus administration. In this case, the student will also be responsible for replacing any equipment that is lost, stolen, or damaged.
* Students may be asked to cover school-related events before or after school hours. Covering before and after-hours events, such as home sporting events, may be essential to one of their primary responsibilities.

Review of The Simpsons Ride @ Universal Studios Florida
2 Rating
Posted by: Canobie Coaster on 12/16/2008 7:05:00 PM
Let me start off by saying that I unfortunately never got to ride Back to the Future, the ride that this one replaced. However, while many are certainly saddened by the attraction's closure, supposedly the ride was getting very dated. Well, say good buy to the good ole Delorians and hello to Krustyland with Universal's newest attraction- the Simpsons Ride.
Having never watched the Simspons once, I really wasn't coming on expecting much, especially since most of the motion simulators I've been on have been pretty lackluster. However, the attraction started off on a positive note for me with the ride's cartoonish exterior. While the ride's entrance definitely is corny, it definitely does stand out with its vibrant colors and Krusty's imposing head.
Prior to visiting Universal, I had heard many reports of this attraction garnering 60-90 minute waits since it was the newest attraction, but thankfully I think I was visiting the park on an off-day, as this only had a 20-25 minute wait each time I rode it. Really the experience begins in the very well themed queue, which replays various Simpsons clips much to my delight. In fact, I bet many Simpsons fans wouldn't mind enduring a really long wait since I never saw any clips repeat during my wait, so there must be a ton that they use.
Eventually, I made my way to the top level of the building, the location of the ride's really long and hysterical pre-show where the ride's plot is established- Slideshow Bob has escaped jail and is determined to extract his revenge on Krusty and the Simpsons. Meanwhile, Krusty has debuted his newest, adrenaline-pumping attraction at his beloved park- Krustyland. Despite the pre-show's incredibly long length, the overall quality and humor in it made it better than even some of Universal's attractions! After the great pre-show, it's time to board. Of the two rows, I definitely like the front better simply because of the unobstructed view, but other than that wherever I sat doesn't really effect my ride. Also, the seats are comfortable and roomy, which is always a plus.
Once the ride begins, it's apparent that this wasn't going to be just a normal motion simulator. Forced to ride Krusty's modified coaster at the mercy of Slideshow Bob, the attraction is an intense, action-packed thrill ride from beginning to end that flawlessly intertwined thrills with many parts that had me dying laughing. One thing I definitely have to praise the park on is how smooth and perfectly executed the motions were. At all times they were flawlessly synched to the film, and heck, they were even capable of producing better sensations than some roller coasters, especially during the roller coaster segment, which has some incredibly realistic drops and sensations, and my personal favorite, the incredibly convincing barrel roll performed.
Really there wasn't a dull moment at all during the attraction, as it's a rip-rocking joyride through Krustyland and Springfield, encountering surprise after surprise. I could describe every scene in detail, but I don't want to spoil the pure genius of this attraction for anyone. Also, all of the CGI utilized during the attraction was crisp and vibrant, and the audio was flawless throughout. Not only that, but the Simpsons Ride was very long and definitely a satisfying ride experience that flawlessly combines thrills with comedy. Lastly, the audio was crisp and clear, a fact that I generally take for granted, but that is until I ride an attraction where I can't understand what the heck is going on.
It's official, I have a new favorite motion simulator, and I have a feeling that this one will almost never be beaten! I just can't help but praise Universal for how well executed this attraction is, with the hysterical adult humor combined with an action-packed thrill ride from start to finish. The whole film is just ingenious and perfectly executed, and definitely a worthy attraction in Universal's impressive arsenal of attractions. While I preferred the Mummy and Men in Black slightly better, the Simpsons Ride is an incredible experience from start to finish that is even far superior to many of the roller coasters I have ever been on! Yeah, it's that good!

You've never seen the Simpsons?!? Smithers, release the hounds!
nyeboy9 on 1/4/2009 7:53:48 PM said:
I've heard there are quite a few inside jokes from the series sprinkled throughout the ride as well, but it's nice to know you can still enjoy the ride regardless of your knowledge of the show. Nice Review!

Life Painting & Drawing - Friday
Stafford College discontinued their Friday morning Life Drawing and Painting class at the Hall in 2016. Class members decided to form a Life Drawing Group and now run the class themselves, without a tutor. All abilities are welcome, but there is no formal teaching. Two members of the Group are experienced Life Drawing tutors, and they will help beginners get started, or assist anyone who gets stuck, if asked.
The Group is a friendly one, and is run on traditional lines, with silent working during poses and a combination of long and short poses during the term. Two-week poses are set from time to time for those wanting to do extended work, and/or painting.
Easels, drawing boards, and donkeys are provided, but class members bring their own materials. Beginners are recommended to bring with them some cartridge paper (A2 in size) and a soft pencil (a B, 2B or 3B would be a good start). Drawing boards are provided, but you would need to bring your own masking tape or board clips.
Class times:
Friday morning 9.30-12.30. We take a tea/coffee break during the morning, tea/coffee is provided at 25p to cover costs, but you can bring and brew your own if you prefer.
Autumn term
(ten sessions) dates are:-
20th, 27th
4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th
The cost for next term will be £12 per session, payable for each half-term in advance. If students know at the start of term that they will miss particular sessions, they pay in advance only for those they will be attending, but in order to keep the class financially viable, there are no refunds for any further missed classes.
For anyone wishing to have a one-off 'taster' session to see if they would like to join us, it will also be possible, by prior arrangement, to have a single session at £10.
Anyone interested in joining the Group, having a 'taster' session, or who would like any further information, please phone Peter Fletcher on 01785 816284
Please do not attend the class without prior arrangement with Peter.
for the details of the alternative Monday session.

This paper introduces electrochromic (EC) devices, capable of changing their optical absorption under charge insertion/extraction, and some of the required materials. Special attention is given to EC nickel-oxide-based films, for which we discuss sputter deposition and ensuing optical and structural properties. The paper is concluded with some recent results for practical foil-based devices.
Electrochromic (EC) films of nickel oxide, with and without vanadium, were prepared by reactive dc magnetron sputtering. They were characterized by electrochemical and optical measurements and studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) using synchrotron radiation. The films were analyzed under as-deposited conditions and after bleaching/coloration by insertion/extraction of protons from a basic solution and ensuing charge stabilization. Optical measurements were consistent with a coloration process due to charge-transfer transitions from Ni2+ to Ni3+ states. The PES measurements showed a higher concentration of Ni3+ in the colored films. Moreover, two peaks were present in the O 1s spectra of the bleached film and pointed to contributions of Ni(OH)(2) and NiO. The changes in the O 1s spectra upon coloration treatment indicate the presence of Ni2O3 in the colored film and necessitated an extension of the conventional model for the mechanism of EC coloration. The model involves not only proton extraction from nickel hydroxide to form nickel oxyhydroxide but also participation of NiO in the coloration process to form Ni2O3.
Chromogenic materials are able to change their optical properties in response to external stimuli such as temperature (in thermochromic materials) and electrical charge insertion (in electrochromic materials). Below we review some recent advances for these types of materials. Specifically we first discuss the limitations of thermochromic VO2 films for energy efficient fenestration and show from calculations that nanocomposites containing VO2 can have superior properties and display high luminous transmittance and large temperature-dependent solar transmittance modulation. Even better results may be found for nanoparticles of VO2:Mg. In the second part of the paper we survey some recent progress for electrochromic devices and show that W oxide films have increased coloration efficiency when some Ni oxide is added. We also present initial results for flexible electrochromic foils produced by roll-to-roll coating and continuous lamination.
Chromogenic device technology can be used to vary the throughput of visible light and solar energy for windows in buildings as well as for other see-through applications. The technologies can make use of a range of "chromic" materials - such as electrochromic, thermochromic, photochromic, etc - either by themselves or in combinations. The first part of this paper points at the great energy savings that can be achieved by use of chromogenic technologies applied in the built environment, and that these savings can be accomplished jointly with improved indoor comfort for the users of the building. Some recent data are presented on a foil-type electrochromic device incorporating tungsten oxide and nickel oxide. In particular, we consider the possibilities of controlling the near-infrared transmittance an optimize this property for specific climates. To that end we discuss Au-based transparent conductors for electrochromics as well as high-transmittance thermochromic multilayer films incorporating VO2 and TiO2.

How Regularly Should Gutter Cleaning Be Done in Livermore, CA
Although yearly house gutter cleaning within Livermore, CA provides great improvements over not having your gutters cleaned at all, we advise having them cleaned at least four times per year, which works out to being once per season. The reason to have house gutter cleaning done in the winter months is that the last of leaves are dropping from trees and searching to find a home's gutter to block. We suggest having rain gutter cleaning performed in the spring because it is highly likely you have busted off branches and pollen in your guttering. While in the fall months, leaves are crashing from trees and you will most likely find them filling your gutters, which is why a fall gutter cleaning is important.

Poor thing, I am sorry to hear that Daffodil lost her lamb. Do you think she might adopt the lamb that Roxie con't take care off? Or is it too late for that ?
And how it's coming with getting Trevor gelded, or have you thought of maybe getting another shetland mare to try and breed him too ?
I know Misty in a few years will make a good little first pony for your son.

Hi Kit
Its too late for Jason and Izzy, they are living the life of Riley on the helipad.
Trevor's days as a stallion are numbered, a week on Thursday he is going to lose his jewels, poor lad. Your right Misty will make a good pony for little t :)
Where are you from Kit? TCx3 :)
- 7 May 2012 at 19:48
I live on the Southern east coast of the USA about four hours from Washinton DC in VA. Glad to hear that you are keeping Misty, and though she can't be a mother, she can be a good riding pony for little T. Hopelly Trevor wil also settle down and won't end up being shot by the military for harassing their ponies. Though if any of the broody ponies were in heat you might end up with a owner coming down the road next year asking for foal support.
PS I hope my idea of a pack pig or goat wasn't too out their for your. Acourse in your hiking, you might have come across a packing goat before.

Updated by Linode
Written by Alex Fornuto
Use promo code DOCS10 for $10 credit on a new account.
The Linode Backup Service is a subscription service add-on that automatically performs daily, weekly, and biweekly backups of your Linode. It's affordable, easy to use, and provides peace of mind. This guide explains how to enable and schedule your backups, make a manual backup snapshot, restore from a backup, and disable the Backup Service.
Pricing is per Linode and varies depending upon your Linode's plan:
Standard Plans
|Backups Hourly Rate
|Backups Monthly
|Linode 1GB
|Linode 2GB
|Linode 4GB
|Linode 8GB
|Linode 16GB
|Linode 32GB
|Linode 64GB

Enable the Backup Service
Use the Linode Manager to enable the Backup Service on a Linode. Here's how:
Log in to the Linode Cloud Manager.
From the Linodes screen, select the Linode you want to back up.
Click the Backups tab.
Click Enable Backups.
The Linode Backup Service is now enabled for the selected Linode.
Auto Enroll New Linodes in the Backup Service
You can automatically enroll all new Linodes in the Backup Service. To do so, navigate to the Account page in the left-hand navigation, then select the Global Settings tab.
Under Backup Auto Enrollment click on the toggle button to enable backups on all new Linodes.
Enabling this setting does not retroactively enroll any previously created Linodes in the Backup Service.
Manage Backups
You'll manage your backups with a simple web interface in the Linode Manager. There's no software to install, and there are no commands to run. Just log in to the Linode Manager, navigate to the Linodes screen, select a Linode, and then click the Backups tab. The backups interface is shown below.
A list of available backups. Listed in this view are the date created, the label, how long the backup took to be created, the disks imaged, and the size of the resulting image.
Manually create a backup by taking a manual snapshot. For more information, see the Take a Manual Snapshot section.
Configure backup schedule settings. For more information, see the Schedule Backups section.
Cancel backups. After cancelling your backups you will have to wait 24 hours before you can re-enable them again.
How Linode Backups Work
Backups are stored on a separate system in the same data center as your Linode. The space required to store the backups is not subtracted from your storage space. You can store four backups of your Linode, three of which are automatically generated and rotated:
- Daily backup: Automatically initiated daily within the backup window you select. Less than 24 hours old.
- Current week's backup: Automatically initiated weekly within the backup window, on the day you select. Less than 7 days old.
- Last week's backup: Automatically initiated weekly within the backup window, on the day you select. Between 8 and 14 days old.
- Manual Snapshot: A user-initiated snapshot that stays the same until another snapshot is initiated.
The daily and weekly backups are automatically erased when a new backup is performed. The Linode Backup Service does not keep automated backups older than 8 – 14 days.
Schedule Backups
You can configure when automatic backups are initiated. Here's how:
From the Linodes page, select the Linode.
Click the Backups tab.
Under Settings, select a time interval from the Time of Day menu. The Linode Backup Service will generate all backups between these hours.
Select a day from the Day of Week menu. This is the day whose backup will be promoted to the weekly slot. The back up will be performed within the time period you specified in step 3.
Click Save Changes.
The Linode Backup Service will backup your Linode according to the schedule you specified.
Take a Manual Snapshot
You can make a manual backup of your Linode by taking a snapshot. Here's how:
From the Linodes page, select the Linode.
Click the Backups tab.
Under Manual Snapshot, give your snapshot a name and click Take Snapshot.
Taking a new snapshot will overwrite a previously saved snapshot.
The Linode Backup Service initiates the manual snapshot. Creating the manual snapshot can take several minutes, depending on the size of your Linode and the amount of data you have stored on it. Other Linode Manager jobs for this Linode will not run until the snapshot job has been completed.
Restore from a Backup
This section shows how to restore a backup to a new Linode, or to an existing Linode.
Restoring a backup will create a new configuration profile and a new set of disks on your Linode. The restore process does not restore single files or directories automatically. Restoring particular files can be done by completing a normal restore, copying the files off of the new disks, and then removing the disks afterward.
The size of the disk(s) created by the restore process will only be slightly larger than the total size of the files restored. This means that the disk(s) created will be 'full'.
Some applications, like databases, need some amount of free unused space inside the disk in order to run. As a result, you may want to increase your disk(s) size after the restore process is completed.
To restore a backup to a different data center, first restore to a Linode in the same data center, creating a new one if necessary. Once the restore is complete, use the Clone tab to copy the disk(s) to a Linode in a different data center.
Restore to a New Linode
This section covers how to restore a backup to a new Linode that does not have any disks deployed to it. The new Linode will be located in the same data center. If you instead wish to restore your backup to an existing Linode, see the next section.
From Linodes page, select the Linode whose backups you intend to restore, and then click on the Backups tab. Select the ellipsis (three dots) next to the backup you would like to restore, and click Deploy New Linode.
You will be taken to the Create New Linode screen. The Create from Backup tab will already be selected for you, as will the fields corresponding to the Linode and backup that you are restoring from. Choose a Linode plan, enter a label for the new Linode, select any other options you prefer, and click Create. The new Linode will be created with the same password and SSH keys (if any) as the original.
The backup disks and configuration profiles will be restored to the Linode you selected. Watch the notifications area for updates on the process. Restoring from a backup can take several minutes depending on the size of your Linode and the amount of data you have stored on it.
Restore to an Existing Linode
You can restore a backup to any Linode located in the same data center, even if the target does not have the Backup Service enabled. To restore a backup to an existing Linode, you will need to make sure that you have enough storage space that is not currently assigned to disk images.
If you are attempting to restore a disk to the same Linode the backup was created from, the restoration process will not delete the original disk for you. Manually delete the original disk to make room for the backup, if desired.
From Linodes page, select the Linode whose backups you intend to restore, and then click on the Backups tab. Observe the size of the backup you would like to restore, which is visible in the Space Required column. You will need at least this amount of unallocated disk space on the target Linode to complete the restore.
Select the ellipsis (three dots) next to the backup you would like to restore, and click Restore to Existing Linode.
A menu will open with the Linodes that you can restore to. Select a Linode and click Restore.
You will be notified if you do not have enough space on your Linode to restore your backup. Optionally, you can choose to overwrite the Linode you are restoring to.
If the amount of unallocated space available is greater than the size of the backup, you can proceed with restoring. If the amount of unallocated space is less than the size of the backup, you can stop the restoration workflow, resize your existing disks on the target Linode to make room for it, and then come back to the restore page after the disk resize operation has finished.
NoteIn some cases, you will not be able to shrink your disks enough to fit the restored backup. As an alternative, you can change your Linode's plan to a higher tier that offers more disk space.
From the Restore to Existing Linode menu, click Restore.
Your backup will begin restoring to your Linode, and you can monitor its progress in the notifications area. Note that the time it takes to restore your backup will vary depending upon the restore size, and the number of files being restored.
Boot from a Backup
After the backup has been restored, the disks and configuration profiles will be available to the destination Linode you selected. Select the restored configuration profile and reboot your Linode to start up from the restored disks:
From the Linodes page, select the Linode that you restored the backup to. Navigate to the Settings tab and open the Advanced Configurations section.
Select the ellipsis icon (three dots) next to the configuration profile that was restored and select Boot This Config.
The Linode will start from the backup disks. Monitor the notifications area for progress.
Cancel the Backup Service
You can cancel the Backup Service at any time. From your Linode's dashboard, choose the Backups tab and click the Cancel Backups link at the bottom of the page. Cancelling the service will remove your saved backups from the Linode platform.
There are some limitations to what the Linode Backup Service can back up. Here are some things you should be aware of:
- The Backup Service must be able to mount your disks. If you've created partitions, configured full disk encryption, or made other changes that prevent us from mounting the disk as a filesystem, you will likely not be able to use the Linode Backup Service. The backup system operates at the file level, not at the block level.
- Because the Backup Service is file-based, the number of files stored on disk will impact both the time it takes for backups and restores to complete, and your ability to successfully take and restore backups. Customers who need to permanently store a large number of files may want to archive bundles of smaller files into a single file, or consider other backup services.
- Backups taken of ext4 or ext3 filesystems will be restored as ext4. Backups taken of other mountable filesystem types will have their contents restored using ext4.
- Files that have been modified but have the same size and modify time will not be considered "changed" during a subsequent backup. ACLs and extended attributes are not tracked.
- The Backup Service uses a snapshot of your disks to take consistent backups while your Linode is running. This method is very reliable, but can fail to properly back up the data files for database services like MySQL. If the snapshot occurs during a transaction, the database's files may be backed up in an unclean state. We recommend scheduling routine dumps of your database to a file on the filesystem. The resulting file will then be backed up, allowing you to restore the contents of the database if you need to restore from a backup.

"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." That line of Hemingway's is famous for good reason. What sticks in most people's minds is the phrase "strong at the broken places." It's also important to remember his qualifier: many. Not all. Not all of us are strong at the broken places. To be strong at the broken places is to be resilient. Being broken, by itself, does not make us better. Hardship can create a helpless person or a heroic one. – Eric Greitens, Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life
Is resilience simply a synonym for perseverance or strength in the face of hardship? Or is it just another way of looking at concepts like grit or emotional intelligence?
Is resilience something we are born with, inherit from the early modeling of elders, or acquire as a result of challenging life events?
Does it mean "recovery" to a previous way of being after a disrupting event, or does it mean "growth" to a stronger, more resourceful way of life?
Can we cultivate resilience in ourselves in preparation for life challenges by intentionally stretching ourselves into a new and even transformative way of being?
What is resilience?
The Resilience Research Centre defines resilience as a return to normalcy:
"Most commonly, the term resilience has come to mean an individual's ability to overcome adversity and continue his or her normal development," the organization says.
Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy in Resilience: Why Things Bounce Back, see resilience as learning how to live effectively in a "new normal":
"[A]ny number of sudden and serious disruptions might cause you to be 'flipped' over the threshold separating your present context and a new one…. Unfortunately, many of these thresholds may be crossed only in one direction: Once forces have compelled you into a new circumstance, it may be impossible for you to return to your prior environment. You'll have entered a new normal."
An example: Individuals who have lost a loved one to death often use the term "new normal" to describe their lives after the loss.
On the other hand, Eric Greitens, in Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life, views resilience as an expression of growth:
"Resilience is the virtue that enables people to move through hardship and become better. No one escapes pain, fear, and suffering. Yet from pain can come wisdom, from fear can come courage, from suffering can come strength—if we have the virtue of resilience….
An example: After a traumatic life event such as a divorce or loss of a job some people say in retrospect that "it was the best thing that ever happened to me" because it enabled possibilities that were not previously seen.
For my own purposes I have synthesized this working definition:
re·sil·ience\ri-ˈzil-yən(t)s\ noun: the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful after misfortune or disruptive change
That is, resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, sometimes in a new and stronger form, to not only survive, but at least in some circumstances to thrive.
In many ways resilience is an organizer for understanding and integrating the qualities that enable individuals and organizations to persevere and sometimes thrive in the face of change and even hardship.
Those ideas and practices include but are not limited to emotional and social intelligence, positive psychology, a growth mindset, and grit, ideas and practices that can be found in many of my posts.
Perhaps the most important question is: Can we develop resilience in preparation for life's inevitable challenges?
The Mayo Clinic says we can:
"Resilience won't make your problems go away — but resilience can give you the ability to see past them, find enjoyment in life and better handle stress. If you aren't as resilient as you'd like to be, you can develop skills to become more resilient.'
In Resilience: Why Things Bounce Back Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy reach a similar conclusion:
"New scientific research suggests that personal, psychic resilience is more widespread, improvable, and teachable than previously thought. That's because our resilience is rooted not only in our beliefs and values, in our character, experiences, values, and genes, but critically in our habits of mind—habits we can cultivate and change."
Perhaps resilience is no more complicated than this:
• In life we have hard times. Sometimes we recover from them, sometimes we don't. Sometimes when we recover we are as strong or even stronger than before.
• Resilience may stimulate growth. Such growth requires reflection on our experiences and perhaps actively seeking and acquiring new ways of thinking and behaving.
• If we are fortunate, we learned along the way from role models—for instance, family members or mentors—who teach us through example and provide encouragement and hope.
As you think about your own resilience or the resilience of those close to you, do you see examples of growth to new levels of strength and competency?
In your experience, can resilience be intentionally cultivated?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Ying and Yang. Good and evil. Democrats and Republicans. A.F and A.M. and F. and A.M. In New England, there is another division (not just Yankees and Red Sox), powerboat, or sailboat? One of the best descriptions I've heard to distinguish these groups are that with a powerboat, you have a destination. Point the boat and go there fast. With a sailboat, you have a destination, but how you get there includes a multitude of potential paths. With either method, currents, wind direction, landscape, all play an important factor. The need to adjust course is almost guaranteed.
Everything we do in life is a journey, especially Masonry. In many jurisdictions these days, you are pushed to the destination. Get through the degree. Multi-degree or degree festivals enable you to get through multiple degrees in one day. Much like formal education, if the diploma is given to you, you may have the credentials, but not the qualification. The recipient can then decide whether they want the check-box, or the education.
When I first told my father about the one-day classes…well, let's just say he was not a fan. I can certainly understand his perspective, and I've met with many a Mason who would agree. However, I've known several men that have gone through the one-day class, and they remain to be great Masons. The difference is, these men went back to the work. They studied, learned, and internalized. They certainly didn't have to, but they saw the value in understanding what they so wistfully went through. With these men, getting a new degree wasn't the end, it was the foundation on which to build a greater understanding of themselves. The one-day class wasn't necessarily a short-cut, it was just a different vehicle.
There is certainly a valid argument that proper preparation is needed for each degree. You need the time between the first and second degrees to internalize what you've learned. Only then can you be ready to ascend to the next level. When I took the degrees, there was one month between each degree, and I studied. It certainly wasn't perfect, but I think I did pretty well in my own exemplification. Regardless of how well I knew that ritual, I knew nothing of Masonry or the degrees I was receiving. My own hoodwink wasn't removed until many years later. I was given the vehicle, but I had no idea where I was going.
I still don't know where I'm going, but I do know that I'm going somewhere, and the amount of data to consume and attempt to understand is greater than all of my formal education, combined! Freemasonry has taught me that there is always more to learn. Not just within our ritual. Not just within the seven liberal arts and sciences. And not just within our love of one another. With every passing day, hour, and minute…our brains receive another plethora of data points. What we do with that knowledge is the kicker. When the wind shifts or the tides change, the mariner must adjust his course. As we learn more about the craft and our Brothers, don't be afraid to adjust the course. We may not end up at our original destination, but where we do end up may be more beautiful and amazing than we could have ever imagined the first time we heard those three very important words….'Who comes here?'
Robert Edward Jackson is a Past and presiding Master of Montgomery Lodge located in Milford, MA. His Masonic lineage includes his Father (Robert Maitland), Grandfather (Maitland Garrecht), and Great Grandfather (Edward Henry Jackson), a founding member of Scarsdale Lodge #1094 in Scarsdale, NY. When not studying ritual, he's busy being a father to his three kids, a husband, Boy Scout Leader, and a network engineer to pay for it all. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com .

The other day Grandma and I organized a little friends gathering and decided to make some appetizers for party to serve to our guests.
Maybe you've already heard that Grandma loves to have people over she enjoys playing card games, cooking good food and likes to have company. I don't know how she does it but somehow she can always come up with appetizers ideas for cocktail party.
Do you like appetizers?
I love them. I mean, have you ever thought about how versatile they are?
In Italy easy appetizers like cold canapés for example are served as appetizers for party and for the "Happy Hour". To experience the "Happy Hour" – the real Italian way – you have to be in a local café around 7.00 p.m.
They will serve you a glass of wine, some olives, a selection of cold cuts (like ham, salami, prosciutto), probably some squared cut Italian cheese and all sorts of other cold appetizers.
Appetizers are a real tradition in Venice. If you ever go to Venice you'll find many of these historic little cafés on the sidewalk along the canal (they are called Bacari). These cafés are usually tiny places with very low lights and they serve traditional appetizers which here are known as Ciccheti.
So as I said appetizers are really versatile, not only appetizers for party…
In fact besides enjoying them for a party or the "Happy Hour", you can serve them for family gatherings, for an afternoon party with friends, for a quick lunch, for a Christmas party or whenever you have little time but want to eat something tasty and satisfying. You can choose from thousands of appetizer recipes: cold appetizers, baked or cooked appetizers.
Not only that, some appetizers for party are easy while other recipes take a 'bit longer to prepare.
Whenever she has to get ready for a party or a friends and family gatherings at our house Grandma follows her own usual routine. Here is how it goes:
She gets up early in the morning and have her usual breakfast (which is typically warm milk and coffee – the traditional version of Latte Macchiato). While eating breakfast she starts thinking aloud about preparing her appetizers for a crowd, then she gets all confused because she wants to cook so many things that she can't keep track of it. This is when she asks for paper and pen.
Grandma writes down all things she needs to buy and I'll go grocery shopping to get her all the ingredients she needs to make her appetizers for party.
She told me she would prefer to serve appetizers that night to make it less formal and more fun. She was right because the party came out really well. As usual our backyard was filled with cheerful, smiling neighbors and friends, enjoying each other's company and Grandma's good food!
I want to share two easy appetizers for party recipes with you today so that you can try and make them for your friends and family and tell them they are Grandma's special appetizers!
One of these appetizers for party was my favorite: small bruschette with green peas purée, Parma ham and cheese, so I will tell you how she made it.
But first her special skewers:
- Easy Italian Mozzarella skewers
You can make these with light and fresh ingredients of the season and make them look even more like typical Italian food by decorating the mozzarella and tomato skewers with fresh basil leaves!
You'll need the following ingredients:
0.55 Ibs Mozzarella cheese
3/4 cherry tomatoes
1 large bunch fresh basil
3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin is preferred)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon mustard
freshly ground black pepper
Cut Mozzarella cheese in small cubes. Now alternate mozzarella cubes and cherry tomatoes and insert them on to each wooden cocktail sticks (view picture).
Shred enough of the basil leaves to make about 2 tablespoons of it and set aside.
Use the remaining basil leaves and place them on a platter to form a serving base.
Arrange Mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes skewers on the basil leaves.
Whisk extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar and mustard to obtain an emulsion.
Drizzle vinaigrette evenly over skewers, sprinkle shredder basil over Mozzarella cheese and tomato skewers and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Here is my favorite for you to try:
small Bruschette with green peas purée, Parma ham and Italian cheese
8 slices of toasted bread
0.44 Ibs small green peas
0.15 Ibs raw ham, like Parma Prosciutto ham
0.08 Ibs parmesan cheese or pecorino cheese
6.76 Oz. vegetable broth
1 small onion
a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Sauté minced up onion in a pan with a the extra virgin olive oil until golden.
Add small green peas and sauté for a couple of minutes, add salt and pepper and pour in the vegetable broth.
Let cook for about 12 minutes then pour the sauteed green peas in a blender to obtain a smooth purée and let it cool for a little while.
Cut the toasted bread in small shapes. If you have a shaper you can choose the shape you prefer, I have hearts, stars, cats and many others but if you want something basic simply cut the slices in diagonal halves and you'll end up with wonderful and delicious bread triangles.
Spread green peas purée over the small bruschette obtained (the triangles or whatever other shape you've made with the slices bread) then add a slice of rolled ham on top of it, finish with a flake of Parmesan or Pecorino cheese.
Serve on a nice appetizers platter!
And that was me enjoying Grandma's party.
- Bottom line
I really hope you enjoyed these easy appetizers recipes I shared with you today.

Since we can't resist a walk down memory lane, we combed through every, single movie from the 1980's for an official ranking of the decade's best films. Click through for our 50 favorites, ahead.
One of Woody Allen's first majorly successful films, Hannah and Her Sisters focuses on the complex relationship between Hannah (Mia Farrow), her sisters Lee (Barbara Hershey) and Holly (Dianne Wiest), and her husband Elliot (Michael Caine).
Undeniably one of Martin Scorsese's best, Raging Bull features Robert De Niro as a tumultuous, but lovable, boxer.
James L. Brooks's 1987 film told the story of two rival TV
reporters and a producer.
Who could watch Alien without being completely and utterly captivated by Sigourney Weaver as badass Ripley?
Paul Newman plays a lawyer in Sidney Lumet's The Verdict, which was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Director.
A wildly-entertaining mashup of animated and live characters, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was an easy win for Robert Zemeckis.
Hugh Hudson's 1981 movie about two British track athletes in the 1924 Olympics earned itself four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.
Another Woody Allen hit, Crimes and Misdemeanors features Martin Landau, Mia Farrow, and Anjelica Huston, and it was nominated for three Academy Awards.
Equal parts ridiculous and hilarious, Bill and Ted are two airheads with a time-traveling mission to save the future. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter made for a super endearing, totally '80s flick.
Based on Cameron Crowe's book, Fast Times at Ridgemont High gifted us a young Sean Penn and an undeniably hilarious plot.
Call us wimps, but John Carpenter's The Thing is still frightening to this day.
David Lynch's haunting mystery tells the story of Jeffrey, (Kyle MacLachlan) who after finding a severed human ear, is set on a dramatic, albeit entertaining, journey.
Before Charlie Sheen was, well, Charlie Sheen, he stole America's hearts as Chris, the young recruit in Vietnam. Combined with actors like Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker, and even Johnny Depp, Platoon was an all-around hit.
Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford, and Sigourney Weaver make for a hilarious, but totally moving, story of success and loss.
Real talk: We'd go out with Patrick Dempsey for free, let alone one thousand dollars. Dempsey's too-cute role as nerdy Ronald Miller automatically made Can't Buy Me Love one of our favorites.
The first of the epic Indian Jones franchise, Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark certainly didn't disappoint. Anyone who was able to come out of the film not in love with Harrison Ford as Indy was straight-up crazy.
Arguably one of John Hughes's best, Weird Science follows two high school outcasts in their attempt to create the perfect woman.
Matt Damon and Julia Roberts on the same screen? Yes please. Donald Petrie's 1988 hit tells the tale of three teenage girls working at a pizza parlor in Connecticut.
Risky Business, the film that launched Tom Cruise's career, tells the story of a spoiled Chicago teen and the so-called "risky business" he gets himself into while his parents are out of town.
Who would've thought that the future governor of California would start his career as a sexy, time-traveling assassin? Arnold Schwarzenegger coined the now-famous phrase, "I'll be back," which turned out to be true—The Terminator continued into four sequels and a television series.
Featuring some of our favorite '80s stars, like Robe Lowe, Judd Nelson, and Demi Moore, St. Elmo's Fire is a heart-wrenching, but hilarious, story of college grads finding their way in the real world.
A Nightmare on Elm Street was so damn good that it literally toyed with our perception of dreams versus reality. Doubling as a cinematic trailblazer and an absolutely haunting horror film, the story of Freddy Krueger still lives on in our nightmares today.
Undeniably one of the greatest action movies of all time, Bruce Willis as John McClane was such a hit that the film spawned four sequels and a video game series.
It's hard not to root for ultimate-underdog Ralph Macchio, who learns traditional martial arts to combat the bullies wreaking havoc on his life.
Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 flick had a star-studded cast, to say the least: Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, and Diane Lane were all featured in the movie. An iconic coming-of-age drama, The Outsiders birthed the now-famous line, "Stay gold, Ponyboy."
'80s movies were chock full of funnymen Bill Murray and Chevy Chase, but this cult film earned rank as one of the funniest sports movies of all time. The crazy antics of the caddies at Bushwood Country Club more than managed to make golf entertaining (sorry, Grandma).
Launching one of the biggest cultural phenoms to date, Saturday Night Live stars Dan Aykroyd and Billy Murray had audiences in stitches as they filmed their adventures in fighting the supernatural. The film was so loved that the franchise spawned multiple sequels, including 2017's all-women rendition starring Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones.
Anything that can wrong, does go wrong in this hilarious comedy about a father (Chevy Chase) desperate to spend time with his family as they embark on a cross-country road trip to Walley World.
The killer leading duo of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford made the story of a Danish woman searching for love in Sub-Saharan Africa compelling enough to earn seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Basically the Mean Girls of Generation X, Heathers is the story of popular girls with matching outfits, hair, and first names. The movie became such a comedic class that it inspired an off-Broadway musical hit years later.

December 5 – The average lifespan of a Premier League manager is less than 1.5 years. Mark Hughes, who was sacked by Southampton after their draw with Manchester United at the weekend, lasted just 8 months and is Saints' 23rdmanager in the past 20 years.
Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho, who at odds of 5/2 is now the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager fired, is in the second safest job in English top league football, according to stats compiled by the chucknorisk.com website that looked at Premier League manager changes over the past 20 years.
While Saints managerial sacking record is one of the best out there on the normally relaxed and easy-going sunny South coast (Hughes has been replaced today by the next victim, Austrian Ralph Hasenhuttl), even they are topped by Crystal Palace who have had 25 managers and caretakers since 98/99 (one every 10 months).
"Overall the managers of the current Premier League clubs got replaced more often this decade than the one before. From season 1998/99 till season 2007/08 the average manager-period at a Premier League club has been 18.5 months. In the decade from 2008/09 till 2018/19 it has been 16 months. Overall that makes a bit less than 18-month manager-lifetime at one club on average and 281 employed Premier League manager in 20 years in total," says the report.
The longest serving manager at a Premier League club is Bournemouth's Eddie Howe who has been at the club six years and two months and is probably in his most successful season there, so far.
The best paid manager in the Premier League at £15.3 million a year is Pep Guardiola at 'money-is-no-object' Manchester City. The club has had nine managers in the past 20 years. At those kinds of wages they will do well to avoid the severance payments – or, looking at it another way, managers will do well to collect them.

After showing you how to unlock iPhone X & how to unlock iPhone 7 in my previous posts, today I will let you know how to unlock Verizon iPhons X / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5? Precisely, I will let you know whether Verizon iPhone X/8/7/6/5 are unlocked or not?
Well, unlike most network carriers in the US, things get interesting when you purchase an Apple iPhone from Verizon. Companies like Sprint and AT&T tend to lock their iPhone so it can't be used on other networks while the person is still under contract. On the other hand, Verizon iPhones are unlocked by default.
So, Can You Use Any SIM Card in Verizon iPhones?
Simply, "YES"! Having an unlocked Verizon iPhone means you can insert any other network's SIM card (such as Sprint, T-Mobile or AT&T) in your device and still continue to use your iPhone. If you are not a fan of Verizon's services or already have a long-standing plan with another network, an unlocked Verizon iPhone will allow you to use any network's SIM on your smartphone. It is also a great choice for people who travel a lot and have to go overseas occasionally in which case any international SIM card will work on their Verizon iPhone.
Supported Devices
Verizon's current policy of giving unlocked devices extends to any 4G enabled smartphone. Their own statement mentions that all 4G LTE devices are unlocked and don't need any unlock codes.
We do not lock our 4G LTE devices and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier.
This means that in the case of Verizon iPhone, any iPhone 5 and above model including the latest iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X will be unlocked by default to work with any other carrier.
While the statement mentions that only 4G LTE devices are unlocked, even if you have an older iPhone like 3G or 4S, you don't have any need to unlock those. Verizon only locks non-iPhone smartphones to their network.
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8 / 8 Plus
- iPhone 7 / 7 Plus
- iPhone 6(S) / iPhone 6 (S) Plus
- iPhone 5S / 5C / 5
- iPhone SE
Want to Double-Check Verizon iPhone Unlock Status?
As stated earlier, all iPhone devices purchased from Verizon are unlocked by default. Whether they are a new iPhone or an old model released prior to iPhone 5. This makes Verizon one of the best companies to purchase an iPhone from on installments.
In case you are going to buy a used iPhone and want to make sure that iPhone is unlocked, you can follow my previous guide 3 Methods to Check if Your iPhone is Locked / Unlocked
My Verizon iPhone X/8/7/6/5 is Unlocked, Now What?
Verizon says that all iPhones purchased from them are unlocked by default. This means that as soon as you buy an iPhone X/8/7/6 or 5 from Verizon, you can simply take out the Verizon SIM. And insert your preferred network's SIM card in your new iPhone.
- Verizon iPhone X/8/7/6/5 are unlocked by default.
- Don't trust any third party unlock company which providing Verizon iPhone unlock services.
- Just use any other network's SIM card in your iPhone, enjoy.
- Finally, if you have any issues in using your Verizon iPhone with any other carrier please leave a comment below.

Author Bailey Harris
Bailey Harris was only eight years old when she started to write her first book, My Name Is Stardust. She was watching Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey and became inspired by what host Neil deGrasse Tyson was saying. She immediately went to her room and began to write. She wanted all of her friends to know the importance of what she had learned. Today, at age 12, she and her dad just completed their 3rd children's science picture book, Stardust Explores Earth's Wonders.
"I think the most challenging part of the process is taking hard concepts in science and making them fun for children, but once that's done it's really the best part," says Bailey. And that is where her dad comes in. Bailey comes up with the idea and her dad helps her simplify and organize it. They've also garnered the help of a group of scientists and astronomers to fact check.
When Bailey was in kindergarten, her teacher reported to her parents that she was the only child in class who went right to the non-fiction section when visiting the library. "I love non-fiction. That's kind of a weird thing about me, most of my friends like fiction. I prefer to watch documentaries over watching cartoons," says Bailey.
Over the past 2 years, Bailey has exhibited her books at BookCon and BookExpo in New York City. While signing her first book, she would ask readers what their favorite planet was. Kids became so excited to talk about their favorite planet, that she decided it would be the perfect subject for the second book, Stardust Explores the Solar System.
Bailey says her favorite planet is Saturn because it is speculated to have 62 moons. "Saturn and all its moons; it just gives me the chills every single time I think about it," says Bailey.
Bailey hopes the books will inspire a love for science among young readers and adults alike. The success of the three books has enabled Bailey and Doug to help spread their passion for science to families around the world.
When asked who some of her biggest influences are, Bailey cites women in history like Mae Jemison and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose lecture she attended last year. "When I hear their stories about what they did," says Bailey, "it motivates me to go further; it just makes me want to do more."
To find out more about Bailey and her books, visit the Stardust webpage, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube feeds.

Letter: Trees make life worth living
To the Editor:
Why does Milford hate trees? The city just cut down six trees on Rivercliff Drive. As I travel around the city, I see trees going down all over the place. Visit Parsons Center and see the stumps by the City Clerk's door. I understand that trees get old or diseased but there doesn't seem to be any meaningful program to replace them or expand their number. A handful of new trees on the Green doesn't make up for the loss.
Milford has far fewer trees today than it had a decade ago. My daughter lives on a nondescript street in Stamford lined with trees. Last weekend I was visiting a New Haven neighborhood with a street lined with beautiful flowering trees. Visit Bridgeport and marvel at the terrific job they've done filling streets and public areas with mature trees. Then there's our city on a fast track to becoming a treeless wasteland.
Trees have been removed on my street so a while back I decided to put two in. I called Public Works to see if they had recommendations and was told trees are a liability and no one's allowed to plant them next to the street.
I have news for City Hall. Thinking about trees as a liability isn't right. Trees are critical to our environment, they beautify a city and they're one of the things that makes life worth living.

Sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with the Windows version of Verizon Messages, Milton. We experienced a temporary issue with Verizon Messages recently, however the issues should be resolved now. Are you still having issues? If so, are you having issues on the phone app as well? RyanM_VZW
I have read most of this stream of complaints, and through expermentation I have tried every one of the suggested workarounds. I just want to say that sync works for Message+ on a PC but it just does not sync all messages in a way I must can't see a pattern to. And it only gets worse when you uninstall and reinstall the application, because messages that were cached on the PC disappear before the uninstall, they will not been seen again after reinstalling the software.
I for one simply will not depend on MessagePlus on a Microsoft Windows computer until this gets fixed. I am inline with those that prefere a full sized keyboard found on a PC over phones and tablets when sending messages. So I hope some day Verizon will discover, woops, there was a problem after all!
@vzw_customer_support @ryanm_vzw The issues reported for the sync with Windows Message+ were reported long before the current Android Message+ issue occurred. If you have any info relating the two please share with the forum.
Just searched for this thread today as I have been having issues as well. My issues "seem" to have started when my phone updated, although that may have just been when I happened to have noticed that the desktop version wasn't working. I can send messages on the desktop app and they are received by the recipient, but when they text back I am only getting their reply on the app installed on my phone. This doesn't work for me.
I use Win10 and as of right now, it is still not syncing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled on both my laptop and my phone with no success. I will continue to monitor the thread with hopes of a good outcome.
Our goal is to help you move forward. To clarify, are you still experiencing an issue with Message+
If my response answered your question please click the _Correct Answer_ button under my response. This ensures others can benefit from our conversation. Thanks in advance for your help with this!!
@vzw_customer_support @coreym_vzw Also to clarify, has anyone within Verizon Tech Support looked at why the synchronization has been failing?
Hi Verizon et al,
I am having this same problem. My Verizon Message+ was working fine until 4 or 5 days ago. I had it installed on:
* Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (primary acct) - installed from Google Play Store.
* Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260 laptop (Win 10; installed from Microsoft Store)
* iPhone SE - Installed from Apple App Store
* Lenovo X220 laptop (Win 10; installed from Microsoft Store)
I can send messages from any device. However, the conversations are not staying synced on all devices. I'll answer a text on my Note 9, but the reply does not show up on my ThinkPad Yoga. Or, I'll enter a text on my ThinkPad, and it does not show up on my Note 9. Today, I've done the following:
1) Deleted/uninstalled/disconnected VZ Message+ from all devices, including the primary Note 9.
2) Re-installed on the Note 9.
3) Re-installed on ThinkPad Yoga
I've seen all the emails where VZ support has not been able to help anyone, and I don't have time to mess around with tech support that can't help me. I have 3 companies I run, including an IT company that provides tech support), and non-answers and time-wasters are unacceptable.
Is this, or is this not a Verizon issue? Can we get a straight answer on that? It sure appears to be to me.
Hi Corey_M at VZ,
Yes, I believe we are still all having issues with syncing to Win10. Would be happy to send screen shots if you need them.
Estimado @vzw_customer_support members:
PLEASE READ the fraking (Battlestar Galactica reference) posts!
@coreym_vzw, "To clarify, are you still experiencing an issue with" understanding the version of the English language these/us Members are using to compose their/our posts?
@JoeL_VZW, Have you "customer service representatives" READ the posts and forwarded the information to "Technical Support for investigation", as @jav6 (Sr. Member) asked?
@JoeL_VZW, "Have you tried uninstalling the updates on the" Verizon "integrated messaging service" applied when these FAILURES began? My evidence (mentioned in my posts) suggests that was sometime after 19 July 2019.
@vzw_customer_support, "Our goal is to help you move forward." That is why all of us Members have provided as much information about our "Verizon Message(+/s) FAILURES" as our individual technical skills can support.
@AntonioC_VZW, I for one, have done everything I could think of, short of offering to come in and analyze your computer code for you, to help you "isolate this issue" with your Verizon "integrated messaging service" FAILURES.
We are fortunate that @jav6 (Sr. Member), who states that all his Verizon Message apps are working correctly, is following our posts.
He has asked "@vzw_customer_support @coreym_vzw Also to clarify, has anyone within Verizon Tech Support looked at why the synchronization has been failing?"
cjpower7, I use the Message + app on my computer all the time to text, and I would be lost if I was unable to use it. I am here to help and we will get to the bottom of this. When did you update the software of the computer? Have you attempted to use Messages + on a different computer? SantoC_VZW

August 25, 2014
I have never met Emily, but a week ago I took part in a crazy 11 mile adventure in her name.
In December 2012 aged just 19 Emily was found dead in her room at University by her friends, she had died in her sleep from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. No-one knows exactly why this happens and despite it claiming the lives of more than a thousand people a year, not enough research is being done.
Earlier this year when I was asked by my sister-in-law to take part in Tough Mudder and join her fundraising team I knew very little about SUDEP or indeed her special younger cousin Emily, but after we finished the race last Sunday I had the privilege of meeting Emily's lovely parents and I knew I wanted to do whatever I could to help raise awareness.
SUDEP Action is a small charity working tirelessly to try and prevent the three epilepsy related deaths that occur EVERY DAY in the UK. They support bereaved family and friends, promote awareness in the medical profession and in the community and fund research into these deaths.
Emily developed epilepsy at 14 years old and had only 4 seizures in total living a perfectly normal life. So normal that she probably didn't really believe that she suffered from epilepsy at all. She took tablets and generally got on with her life. Emily was sporty and played hockey for her county and for the West of England before going to Uni. Her mum said she couldn't imagine Emily doing a Tough Mudder though as she wasn't very brave. She was a naughty and funny girl though once turning up to hockey training wearing her bra over her shirt so that she would be told off and sent to change and would therefore avoid the rain and make her teammates laugh!
Young people are generally more at risk from SUDEP and doctors and consultants are reluctant to tell their patients and parents that death is a possibility. The charity believes that knowing the risks is vital so that people can make informed choices about taking their medication regularly and keeping in contact with their doctor. Young people at university are a particular risk as they leave home for the first time, visit their new university doctor (who sometimes do not receive their medical notes for three months), often drink more alcohol and stay out later and have to rely on themselves to remember to take their medication regularly.
I asked Emily's mum Rachel what she though of the day, watching us complete the course (she took all the wonderful photos of me covered in mud), she said
As a spectator it was such a fun day, as a participant the word 'fun' is probably not so appropriate! I was thrilled when Bex told me that they were going to get a group of friends to do Tough Mudder for SUDEP Action as it's important to us to help the charity and keep Emily's memory alive. I thoroughly enjoyed the day – I had all the excitement but none of the pain, bruises and mud! It gave me a thrill to see all the orange vests together in a team and to see you all smiling so much while you were doing it.
Awareness of SUDEP is so important. There are thousands of people with epilepsy, some severe and some, like Emily, for whom it was merely a case of taking tablets to completely control it. Many of these people and their families are still unaware that it is possible to die from it. Everyone considers the possibility of someone hitting their head or 'swallowing their tongue' but many have no idea that they could just die in their sleep for no apparent reason.
The charity are hoping to trial a new miniature wireless apnea device which will alert family or friends if the wearer stops breathing. This will save lives and might have saved Emily's. The charity needs to raise £165,000 to trial the device. Sadly most donations to the charity are raised by newly bereaved relatives and their family and friends. If a larger external donor could be found the charity could do so much more.
I know I often ask you guys to support the various fundraising causes I get involved in, and there is such a thing as fundraising fatigue, but if you could spare a few pounds for this important cause I would be really grateful. Equally, please help raise awareness by talking about this terrible risk, especially to teenagers who often think they are immortal.
You can donate to this amazing cause via our justgiving page or if you are in the UK the easiest way to donate is to text SUDE01£2 (or an amount of your choosing) to 70070 to donate just £2. If all of my followers did that today over £20,000 would be raised in one go…so why not do something awesome today.
