Developmental Services System 1991 (NH State Audit Compressed for 2021 Standards)

Clickford, Steven M.1 Comment

In 1991, after the Laconia State School closed, the State of New Hampshire did an audit of the system and services for the developmentally delayed. Out of respect for modern day technologies, the original PDF can be seen here, at the expense of your network or cell data plan, This was the time where Macintosh computers were not used by many, so it’s lousy in design quality. The PDF was converted at some point from it’s original DOS-like word processing in 1998, and thanks to RSA 91-a, I am doing you a public service by hosting a lighter version of this PDF because am I a native nerd to the the government affairs, not “obsessed with the system”.

Sadly a lot of the core context in this file has never been addressed. Bill of Rights is kinda the theme here, and sadly the developmental disability system has been audited several times since 1991. But ironically the audits never go back to the original blueprint of the 1991 audit. Sadly I don’t even think our current agencies at the Department of Education or at the Bureau even have this document

Do understand in 1991, there was a dueling thing going on, and that was special education. I entered into Londonderry just months before, and there was a lot of growing pains across the state for Special Education, that was done on a reactionary measure, that then carried into adulthood so people like your’s truly was then hungover with the neglect at the SPED level.

The compressed PDF will be the source of many future writings or postings of content related to my condition and the ever so declining system that isn’t just me that’s having the problems. I can only speak for myself and presently I am the only one that is the most outspoken for the rights of me and my peers.

The “Good”-Intended Parents with Bad Outcomes

Clickford, Steven M.

The parents that tend to get good feedback are the ones who are being mislead.

Parents who have vulernabilities, will exploit them through their actions, that they’ll mask up and look innocent. Parents who do not have the ability to parent are often the ones who will mess up their offspring for life, if not caught and if not addressed.

Children shall not be a direct extension of you. The child is supposed to learn, not be taught. Learning and teaching are two different subjects. A child should be able to feel positive and negative feelings. A child should cry. A child should be able to express in the way that doesn’t harm people physically. A child may do something that’s unpopular to your core beliefs. Deal with it.

Parents, by the millions are lazy and emotionally incompetent. They want their kids to obey, they don’t want to handle uncertainty. They want their child to be certain. As the child grows up, they become an adult, then escalated to a hierarchal child. They at that point they need to stop being literally treated like a child.

The American family structure is broken and is overdue for a crude awakening.

Autistic Burnout

Clickford, Steven M.

About a year ago my therapist found this research paper from a list-serve he’s on with regards to Autistic burnout. I have re-read this for my upcoming physical, and as a result it really has woken me up to what I have been feeling for so long. (These are screengrabs, and will have text updates when I have the time, yellow highlights indicate existing concerns, dark purple should be alarming.)

Happy Labor Day 2021!

Clickford, Steven M.

Labor Day is a U.S. Holiday for the people who work (not servicemen or women) but just your average Joe… or maybe that Average Joe is to this day under appreciated.

 

I thought I’d write up an article to look at the state of the American Worker, and if this figure is worth defending in the age of a changing society. I’ve put together 3 types of workers, the Work Hard, the Play Hard, and the Think Hard. Now understand these three types of on the 110% intensity is never a good idea.

On Melanie Grace Clickford…

Clickford, Steven M.

Effective on June 30th, 2021, Melanie committed suicide in a very grave manner of which it’s discussed in detail, as a trigger warning.

My loved one left me (via “ghosting”) in early 2020. Melanie dumped an email on a Friday afternoon coincidentally on Saint Valentine’s Day that she was filing for divorce, citing she couldn’t make it that Tuesday because of statewide holiday in Minibrick State for town municipal elections -of many communities vote by card for town issues.

Because of COVID19, and MIS’ extreme measures to prevent the spread by initially cornering off parts of towns to keep the COVID within areas of hospitals – the state and the cities of Copenhagen and Miniland were shut down till June. But by May, Clickford Media noticed that some critical data was missing. It has been alleged that Melanie had committed a felony by an unauthorized entry by corrupting data by pulling a A/C cable to one of our OptiPlexes. Because survailience and logs were erratic, we were never able to prove that Melanie did this.

As a result Melanie was sent to a half way facility from May 9th to mid June was we felt she was a threat, because she posted on her Facebook that she wanted your writer to be dead.

As a result of that, she then turned what the divorce was supposed to be an arbitration (ala to The People’s Court) to a litigation (the PITA process of discovery and frozen servers and email hosts). Then things had to be kept in confidence until after the fact.

Avaya and Steve Jobs (Revisited)

Clickford, Steven M.

Early on in one of my first projects “breaking the internet” with content was The Museum of Telephony which was wordpress-dot-com product until 2020 when it was moved on our hosting platform. I can speak freely again because the previous manager is no longer involved. Anyways 4 months into the endeavor, I had posted A Post on Apple and Avaya Together . Within a week, a Google Search referral (because in 2012 you could get this data, not so much – even on your own hosting platforms)  “Steve Jobs fan of AT&T Merlin phone” .

If the pic rings a bell, it was the inside picture in the hard cover of Walter Issacason’s bio of the said man.  (of which I should re-read.) I said at the time that it was a no-brainer. Steve Jobs was man of detail, including his preferred list of vendors, whether it was Apple, NeXT or Pixar. It was so blaintely obvious he was drawn by Ma Bell, and that AT&T Merlin phone in his home was another giveaway.

Despite the Merlin being made in the 1980s and discontinued by 1990, AT&T and later Lucent and Avaya was well known for continuing to market these systems as refurbished models well into the mid 2000s. Also, the 7400 series Digital “Voice Terminals” had the Merlin casing, but was used in the System 75/Definity Generic 3 PBX, of which was the PBX used at NeXT, Pixar and Apple, the infamous boxy 8400 Series Digital Voice Terminals did not come to market till 1994 and by 1995, these decade old sets would finally be End of Sale, but this 1980s look continued well into the 2000s because Lucent (and later Avaya) allowed it. Hence why my 7407 or 7102 sets are next to my Office of Yesteryear where my Color Classic sits. The thing is telephony and IT do not go hand in hand. A phone from the 1980s and a PC from the 1990s aren’t required to match, because telephony on the enterprise level was not part of MIS or IT for many businesses.

As a sidenote: though Apple did not refresh the desksets often, some of Apples earlier campuses still had the 1970s Multibutton Electronic Telephone of which AT&T wanted to nix by the time 1990 came along…. now I am going outside the scope of this post…

Would Steve Jobs still be a fan of Avaya? 

I am not sure. Avaya was in the process of acquiring Nortel, prior to his departure of the company and his life. In reality, while Avaya disconnected Nortel’s offerings, the management and many of their engineers was retained. A lot of Avaya from the Steve Jobs admiered era (the System 75/Definity G3/Merlin/etc) was kinda getting phased out with that infamous Aura experiment, and the botched IP Office offerings (the small end systems often found at Apple stores); and other oddball moonshot stuff that Avaya has done.

I am not sure if Jobs had opinions of vendors in the same way he did for the Apple products, since these would be operations and would be in Tim Cook’s old position. I would think he would say things like those damned B100 series of IP sets to “be full of shit”. Those gawd-awful 2-wire DCP 9500s to be “more shit” and probably would piss on the cost of having Avaya equipment in an enterprise like Apple.

It’s unclear if the new Apple campus is wired to Cisco or Avaya, I wouldn’t be surprised it’s on the former. Apple’s retail has slowly gone on to the KallStrangler bandwagon, and would Apple want to pay ridiculous contracts to finance internet trolls defending Fucking Kari’s Law? I certainly would hope ill of Avaya to declare Chapter 11… oh wait, they did didn’t they?!

Vlob: Are You Watching the Olympics?

Clickford, Steven M.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtWVjCK78lk

I’ve been pondering if I should watch the 2020 hangover year of the Summer Games in Tokyo. I also bring up if the International Olympic Committee needs to change their non profit business model; and if more changes are needed to make the Olympics relevant. The most leftie men piss on the Olympics (think of Dan Kennedy at WGBH and Bill Maher too.) I don’t think it should be a gender thing for myself.
