My week:
Spokeswoman Stefanie Carmichael: However, it was a lot of time and effort to roll all the coins that were donated. It was too labour- intensive.
Sandra Martin: Don't they have machines to do that?
My opinion: Unicef is a good charity. It's about feeding children in third world countries.
"Quilters help mental- health patients- and themselves in the process": Today I found this article by Michelle Lepage in the Edmonton Journal:
Edmonton area quilters are drawing on their own experiences with mental health to provide comfort for others by donating handmade quilts to hospital psychiatric patients. In the process, they found making and donating the quilts helped them too.
Sheila Ethier of St. Albert started the Blankets of Love Foundation for Mental Health in 1996.
Ethier was suffering from a particularly bad bout of depression after her son was diagnosed with cancer.
“I was the sickest I have ever been, barely functioning,” said Ethier.
Sheila Ethier of St. Albert started the Blankets of Love Foundation for Mental Health in 1996.
Ethier was suffering from a particularly bad bout of depression after her son was diagnosed with cancer.
“I was the sickest I have ever been, barely functioning,” said Ethier.
Either, who has stayed in hospital as an inpatient herself, was also always cold. One day she pulled out a quilt that her grandmother made for her.
“The minute I put it on I had this feeling of comfort and love. I had the memory of when she gave it to me, a memory of when I was happy and not so sick.”
The following day, she started the foundation in order to help other mental-health patients feel cared for, loved and accepted.
“It’s a tangible way of providing support,” said Ethier. “The feedback has been incredible.”
"Pop- up store caters to those in need": Today I found this article by Michelle Lepage in the Edmonton Journal:
Edmontonians needing a helping hand to get ready for winter were treated to a personalized free shopping experience at Boyle Street Community Services on Saturday thanks to the work of nearly 100 volunteers.
University of Alberta students and community volunteers set up a temporary clothing store and helped customers pick out as much as they needed from a selection of donated clothes, jackets, shoes and toiletries.
This is the fourth year the University of Alberta student group Multiplying Equality has organized the Street Store event, which member Corey Tran described as a “clothing drive formatted as a dignified shopping experience where people can grab items they like.”

"Research project makes strides for literacy": Today I found this article by Janet French in the Edmonton Journal:
Children who were still wrestling with reading midway through their Grade 1 year, even with some extra help from their teachers, met in small groups three times a week where a member of Georgiou’s research team would use strategies tailored for the type of trouble they were experiencing with reading, based on best practices from current research.

Viola Desmond on Canada's Walk of Fame: On Oct. 27, 2017, I found this article by David Friend in the Globe and Mail:
Desmond, who died in 1965, emerged as a figure who challenged racial segregation in Nova Scotia during the 1940s after being jailed for sitting in the whites-only section of a movie theatre. She fought the charges in court, and after losing various proceedings, closed her business and left the province. Desmond is often credited as Canada's Rosa Parks, even though her trial pre-dated Parks' 1955 challenge of bus segregation in Montgomery, Ala.
In 2010, Desmond was given a posthumous pardon and an apology from the Nova Scotia government. More recently, she was featured in both a Heritage Minute and chosen to grace the new $10 bill. She is only the second honouree to be recognized specifically for her social justice work, after Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour was inducted in 2014.
Nov. 1, 2017 Kim Kardashian Halloween costume: I saw this where she dresses up like the singer Aaliyah in the "Try Again" video. Some of the comments were negative because she was dressing up like a black singer. Others were neutral.
My opinion: I would say it's not offensive. Kardashian looks good and a lot like Aaliyah.

Halloween lunch: Yesterday I went to the free Halloween lunch at work and ate a 1 beef burger and 1 chicken burger. There were potato wedges too. There was some candy that I grabbed to eat for later.
There was a pumpkin decorating contest that I voted.
After that I passed out my resumes to some restaurants.
The doorbell rang twice for trick-or-treaters. Once for 3 kids and the 2nd time for 2 kids.
Nov. 2, 2017 Halloween TV: I also watched the latest episode of the TV show The Exorcist. This is a really good and scary show. It's unpredictable.
I also saw the This is Us ep "The 20s" and the latest The Simpsons Halloween special.
Subway: Buy a sandwich and another gets donated on Nov. 3, 2017: I was watching This is Us and I saw an ad for it.
1. I put in on my Facebook status update.
2. I emailed it to all my friends.
3. I put it on my blog:

Nov. 5, 2017 Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation: Britney Spears was there for the grand opening:
https://twitter.com/NVCCF
Highlight of the week: I would say it was the free Halloween lunch. Also I did 2 job interviews this week.
SWAT: I saw the pilot. The first 5 min. was a really good action sequence that I had to watch that part again. The pilot was good, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Star Trek: Discovery: I saw the pilot through Telus on Demand. I thought the production looked good, but it was really boring. Here is a character who goes to investigate something and is in danger, yet I don't feel any excitement. I never watched it again.
