![]() Sure, the health benefits were obvious, but that reason alone was not enough for me to maintain such a strict diet and lifestyle. I found her lifestyle interesting and admirable but at the same time extreme - I could imagine a life without consuming meat - but a life without dairy and eggs seemed unthinkable. Several years later, I became friends with a fascinating woman who just happened to be a vegan and animal rights activist. I just couldn't fathom that human beings, or our government, would allow such atrocities to occur. But time passed and indifference returned along with my omnivore diet, as I rationalized that somehow these were isolated incidences. I was deeply disturbed by the film and immediately eliminated meat from my diet. One day, I stumbled across a documentary entitled “ Meet Your Meat ”, which exposed the horrors of factory farms and slaughterhouses (abattoirs). Somehow the idea of slaughtering animals seemed wrong, but since I never witnessed or participated in the slaughter, I accepted it as part of the dark and ugly side of reality. I was introduced to vegetarian cuisine in early adulthood and enjoyed it very much, but I also enjoyed many animal foods. ![]() This transition did not occur overnight, in fact, it was the culmination of many years of on-and-off vegetarianism. ![]() An individual who adheres to this diet subsists wholly on vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds and excludes any and all foods derived from animal origin. 1 | P a g e An Introduction In the late summer of 2010, I took PETA’s 30 -day pledge to adhere to a vegan diet.

![]() “After a pandemic where we've asked these folks to work harder than they've ever had to work in their career and then to come back to them and say, you know, this is the solution?” “It's the addition of that third day that, you know, it's a strain on people,” Rayne said, some frustration evident in his voice. That’s a hard fit for people with families, Rae said, noting the change forced some of her colleagues to leave or consider leaving the department. Periods of mandatory overtime are also used to fill out staffing. To balance out the scheduling, Rayne shifted demands to add a third 24-hour shift in five days before getting four straight days off. That includes mental health, which is often affected by the situations paramedics encounter in the field. “But more often than not, I was coming in and working another 24-hour shift or even more than one 24-hour shift during my days off.”Īdding to the staffing challenges are on-the-job injuries and illness, which Rayne said have been on the rise. “Technically, I worked Friday, Sunday and then had Monday through Thursday off,” she explained. Paramedic Dawn Rae has been with Ada County for nearly two decades, lately enduring more overtime demands and schedule changes. Other staff leave because local fire departments or services like LifeFlight can pay considerably more. Hiring enough staff was already an issue the stress of the pandemic caused many to leave their paramedic careers. In some areas of the county, response times are under nine minutes only 80% of the time. ![]() This conundrum can stretch response times, which Rayne said are still on target in most areas: under 8:59, 90% of the time. “The way that we're funded is I can either pay people more or I can add more resources, but I can't do both at the same time,” he said. Rayne said the Treasure Valley’s growth - new homes and businesses where miles of farmland existed before - has created a conundrum. ![]() In the state’s most populous county, EMS last year responded to more than 36,000 calls, about a 14% increase from 2020. They also aren’t required to respond to every call for help. Many attendees at this ‘EMS Day’ are also members of a task force formed in the wake of a 2021 report from the state Office of Performance Evaluation, which cited the issues Rayne mentioned.Ī big one: EMS is not considered an ‘essential’ service in Idaho, which means the 44 entities - one in each county - don’t receive state funding. Volunteerism is down a lot of different issues,” he explained. “Issues from funding to recruitment and retention of personnel, education requirements. Ada County’s Chief Paramedic, Shawn Rayne, was there. Cases will continue to be assigned to the appropriate illness onset date, and vaccinations to their appropriate administration date.Last month on the second floor statehouse rotunda, about two dozen uniformed EMS personnel and leadership gathered among displays, handouts and $45 thousand dollar stretchers, all meant to grab the attention of lawmakers.

![]() government to take what was an inherently risky undertaking and make it a manageable level of risk.īut, of course, there was still risk and is still risk in an endeavor like this. Let me just start by reiterating something Kate said, which is that this was a historic visit, unprecedented in modern times, to have the President of the United States visit the capital of a country at war where the United States military does not control the critical infrastructure.Īnd that required a security, operational, and logistical effort from professionals across the U.S. And I hope I’m able to stay on the call for as long as I can, given access to cell service.

So it was bold, it was risky, and it should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that Joe Biden is a leader who takes commitment seriously, and the U.S. ![]() And he wanted to demonstrate the strength of his commitment to his strategy of holding the West together in a united front against Putin. He wanted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Zelenskyy and remind the world, as we approach the one-year anniversary of the invasion, that Kyiv still stands and the United States will not be deterred from standing with Ukraine. It’s important to him to show up, even when it’s hard, and he directed his team to make it happen, no matter how challenging the logistics. obviously does not have a military presence on the ground in Ukraine, which made a visit from a sitting President all the more challenging.īut this was a risk that Joe Biden wanted to take. Unlike previous visits from Presidents to warzones, like Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. President to an active warzone like this is historic and unprecedented and, as I say, required a great deal of careful planning. It was logistically complicated and difficult, and it sends an incredibly powerful message that President Biden has faith in the Ukrainian people and is unwavering in his commitment to stand by them. So I just wanted to do a little table set at the top here, and then I’ll turn it over to Jake and Jon for some additional points.īut, you know, so this trip today was a bold and strong move on President Biden’s part in the face of extreme difficulty, the extreme difficulty of making this trip as President of the United States. With that, that I’ll turn it over to Kate. Our speakers today are White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer. The contents of the call are embargoed until the call ends. To kick things off, we just want to go over the ground rules really quickly. Thanks for joining our call on short notice.

![]() I’m a huge fan of systems that characterize the quality of success or failure (instead of just treating those as binary qualities). Ignoring quantitative differences, these give you 18 qualitative results: Threat (these cancel, multiples of both accumulate) Failure (these cancel, multiples successes accumulate but failures don’t) … and that’s when the hoverpads fall off the landspeeder. You roll all the dice, you count up all the symbols and… The key point is that all of the dice in these pools are marked with a number of different symbols: Success, Failure, Advantage, Threat, Triumph, and Despair. Particularly notable successes or failures on previous checks might also grant you Boost Dice or Setback Dice, and so forth. This basic pool can be then be modified in various ways: The GM can add Difficulty Dice (representing the difficulty of the task), which can be upgraded to Challenge Dice by various horrible circumstances. That would give you dice pool of one Ability Die and two Proficiency Dice.) Then you’d upgrade two of those to Proficiency Dice because the lower score is 2. ![]() You’d take three Ability Dice because the higher score is 3. (For example, let’s say you’re making a Brawn + Athletics check and you’ve got Brawn 3 and Athletics 2. Then you upgrade a number of those Ability Dice to Proficiency Dice equal to either your Characteristic or your Skill, whichever is lower. In order to resolve an action, you take a number of Ability Dice equal to either your Characteristic or your Skill, whichever is higher. In FFG’s Star Wars, your character is defined by their Characteristics and their Skills. ![]() So let’s lay the cost aside and talk about the game itself. But I had a friend who wanted me to run it for them, and they purchased all the books and supplies. Honestly, the cost would have kept me from ever trying the game. And instead of opening the door wide to those new players, Fantasy Flight has packaged the game at an exorbitant price point which makes it basically as unattractive as possible. And that’s particularly true right now as Star Wars enters its second renaissance. ![]() But I think what I find particularly frustrating is that the Star Wars roleplaying game should be a major point of entry for players new to RPGs. Money-grubbing corporations will grub money, right? Fair enough. So there’s another $45 you need to spend in order to start playing the game effectively. I don’t actually have a problem with a game using a specialized dice set, but these are sold at $15 per set… and in order to get a dice pool large enough that a table of beginning characters can reliably make their checks without having to reroll dice to form a full pool you’ll need three sets. On top of that, however, there’s the specialized dice. The claim by the game designers that the “core experience” of the Star Wars universe is for Han Solo ( Edge of Empire), Princess Leia ( Age of Rebellion), and Luke Skywalker ( Force and Destiny) to all adventure separately from each other is utterly bizarre. And it began to look a lot more like a marketing strategy: By executing a beta-beginning-core triumvirate for three separate games, it looked suspiciously as if Fantasy Flight Games had figured out how to sell the same core rules nine times over.Īnd there’s really no justification for it. … but then they did it again for Age of Rebellion and for Force and Destiny. And it wasn’t the first (nor the last) time that a beta program had a price of admission. Nobody was being forced to pay for it if they didn’t want to. And that’s largely because I find Fantasy Flight’s packaging of the game absurd.īack in 2012 when they released the beta version of Star Wars: Edge of Empire for $40 I didn’t have a problem with it: It provided early access to the game. Over time, though, I started putting the book back faster and faster, and eventually I just stopped picking them up. Then I’d look at the price, realize I wasn’t likely to get a Star Wars game together any time in the near future, and then slowly put the book back on the shelf with a lingering pang of regret. For several years I would walk past them in game stores, pick them up, and say, “Wow!” The core rulebooks for Fantasy Flight’s iteration of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game are incredibly gorgeous. |
