Blogger returned to the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital Tuesday night for 20 hours!!!!

Idiot!!!! Another Epileptic Seizure!!!! I must remind me to take my Pills....Idiot!!!!

But I must say that the staff at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital are true professionals.

While sitting in my bed, I noticed someone wheeled in. The guy in his 50s was complaining of Chest Pain!!

Workers soon surrounded the bed with their own little job to do.

It's amazing to watch them at work.

The man was replying in a VERY polite manner.

Soon afterwards, his wife came to the scene with a VERY look on her face.

The husband asked for a phone. He asked his son to bring out the Calf and hay from the barn.

Soon after the wife broke down crying. It was a farmer and his wife.

Yes....from the filthy rich to the very poor or even including the Farmers.

No manner what we are in life, we are still going to end up in the same building.

Yes...we should be proud of our medical staff at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital!!!

P.S. I would have written more but I heard Fascist Mayor Brad Woodside is suppose to have this Blog shut down!!!

I went for a walk and watched television until I fell asleep on the chair.

I decided to go for a nap. I woke up one hour later and I couldn't remember where I was or what day it was?

My modem was on the floor and my desk moved so something happened.

I guess I have to take my medication on a regular basis.

It's ok to live alone but it's also VERY scary at times....:(

1. Wed, Jan. 28: Extreme Extraction: The Story of Penobsquis & the Mobilization for a Fracking Moratorium in NB and Alternatives. Extreme Extraction: The Story of Penobsquis and the Mobilization for a Fracking Moratorium and Alternatives. When: Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 4:00pm. Where: James Dunn Hall, Room G1, St. Thomas University. Penobsquis is a rural New Brunswick community affected by potash mining and gas operations. The first non-conventional gas wells were drilled in Penobsquis in the year 2000. Since then, many more rounds of seismic testing have taken place and several more wells have been drilled and fracked and a new potash mine has been built across the road from the old one. Residents blame potash mining for water wells drying up and subsidence causing damage to homes and properties and gas exploration and production for bad air days, health concerns and a decreased quality of life. Sixty homes in Penobsquis situated above the potash mine workings lost their well water in 2004. Hear from those engaged in the movement against what's being called extreme extraction and energy, including mining, fracking and the Energy East oil pipeline. Learn more about the mobilization that occurred to achieve a moratorium on fracking and the alternatives being proposed to extreme extraction and energy from those engaged in movements for a liveable future in a time of climate change. With Beth Nixon of the Concerned Citizens of Penobsquis and the Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Association; Alex Bailey of the Fredericton District Labour Council and an organizer with the Voice of the People Tour; Jim Emberger of the NB Anti-Shale Gas Alliance and Mark D'Arcy of the Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians.

2. Wed, Jan. 28: Public Lecture: Global Protests and Resistance in the 21st Century by Dr. Besim Can Zirh, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey Date: Jan 28, 2015. Time: 7:00 PM-9:00 PM. Location: Ted Daigle Auditorium, Edmund Casey Hall, Fredericton. Dr. Besim Can Zirh will deliver a public talk entitled “Global Protests and Resistance in the 21st Century” on Wednesday, January 28th in the Ted Daigle Auditorium at 7:00 pm. Zirh is a visiting scholar who teaches Sociology at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey.  The lecture is being presented by the Global and International Studies Initiative, the Sociology Department, and the Institute for World History at St. Thomas University. In 2011, Time magazine named the “Protester” as the person of the year. Yet in many ways, the protester is actually the person of our decade. Movements of popular protest have increasingly become driving forces and integral parts of the 21st century social landscape. Zirh’s talk will examine the recent Gezi Park protests in Turkey as part of this global geography of resistance. Within the context of this urban protest movement he looks at which local, sectarian, and financial forces are involved, and why. His attempts to understand the Gezi Park Protests in Turkey as a globalized face of the newly emerging geographies of resistance. Following a police intervention in a peaceful “occupy” campaign, which was organized partly to protect a well-known park in the heart of Istanbul, a series of large-scale protests erupted in Turkey at the end of May 2013 and lasted for months. This nation-wide outpouring of mass protest was unexpected and unprecedented. It thus changed the direction of Turkish politics irreversibly. Zirh will focus his talk on this local aspect of a global phenomenon, and examine the efforts to unite or divide such popular movements. Following the lecture, Dr. Gül Çaliskan and fourth-year Sociology student Alex McGregor will offer a general overview of Global Uprisings of the 21st Century, from the 1999 Seattle WTO protests to the 2014 Ferguson demonstrations.

7. Feb. 21: Coldest Night Of The Year: A Fundraiser for Homelessness in Fredericton. February 21st is Fredericton’s inaugural Coldest Night Of The Year walk, hosted by the John Howard Society and Youth In Transition. Since 2011, this national initiative has raised $5 million for the hungry, homeless, and hurting by funding poverty-related projects in communities across Canada. This is a non-competitive, family-friendly walk with 2, 5 or 10km options. This gives participants a hint of the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness, while raising much-needed revenue for local charities. Participants have the option to walk and fund-raise as part of a team, or individually. There is no limit to the size or make-up of your team. Teams can register at coldestnightoftheyear.org/fredericton. The John Howard Society works to reduce the causes of crime by providing education, training and employment services for youth, counselling, literacy and/or life skills programmes, and residential programmes. It also offers several long term, stable, supportive housing units for high-risk homeless, which have been a dramatic success story. Those enrolled in the program are 63% less likely to need medical emergency services or come into contact with the police, justice system, and detox services. The proceeds from Coldest Night of the Year will go to expanding this program. Youth In Transition fills a gap for clients ages 16-19, a demographic in which youth in abusive or neglectful home situations are often unable to access appropriate services and have nowhere safe to go.  As one of only two facilities in New Brunswick  accommodating this age group, Youth In Transition has a wider mandate than just the Fredericton area. We will need volunteers to help make this event possible: food teams to make some food and hot drinks for the walkers; registration teams to get it all set up, people to host at the rest stops along the route; people to welcome; and photographers. More information at coldestnightoftheyear.org/fredericton or email cnoyfredericton@gmail.com with any questions.
