The reconstruction of the Architecture and Art Library has sped up in the past two weeks. We will begin moving books and journals back into the library during the month of December. Furniture and equipment will be gradually replaced in the months afterwards.
In order to supervise the move, we will suspend customer service in room 106F after Wednesday, the 26th. Beginning next weeks, students should visit the information desk at the M.D. Anderson Library for research assistance.
Students and faculty members may also email the Jenkins librarians directly, but our work in the Jenkins Library will preclude our ability to answer email during the workday. Responses, therefore, may be delayed.
Due to a renovation at the M.D. Anderson, Interlibrary Loan will be unable to accept new patron requests starting on Monday, Dec. 1. They will resume normal service on January 5th, 2009. Requests placed before December 1 will be handled in the normal fashion, so ILL requests for December should be placed before then.
About half of the books and bound journals from our library collection are available on campus. Books within the call number range A-NB from the general collection are on the 4th floor of the M.D. Anderson Library's blue wing. A moving crew has been working very hard to get these books in order during the past month. While they are not yet in perfect order, many sections are complete and others are close enough to be browsable. All these books may be checked out.
Before you visit another library, come visit the 4th floor. The subject areas covered include: art museums (A), aesthetics (BH), archeology (CC), Classical civilization, art, and culture (DE-DG), Mesoamerican civilization, art, and culture (F), city planning (HD and HT), visual arts and art history (N), architecture (NA), and sculpture (NB).
In addition to the subjects listed above, we have many books from our collection on other subjects available on the 4th floor, though those sections are not complete.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
If any library books checked out to you were damaged as a result of the hurricane damage on campus, please notify Catherine Essinger as soon as possible. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 713-743-2340.
All DVD's and software tutorials, including the Gnomon series, have been moved to 106F in the M.D. Anderson Library. All may be borrowed, as usual.
The GA Houses, GA Documents, and El Croquis are housed in 106F, as well.
Course reserves may be retrieved from the M.D. Anderson Library Service Desk.
The ARTH 3388/6394 class now has its own webpage. Please visit http://info.lib.uh.edu/classes/arth3388.html for specialized information online.
Please visit the Architecture and Art Library staff in room 106F at the M.D. Anderson Library for research assistance. The staff will be present to help you from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. At other times, please visit the Information Desk in the M.D. Anderson Library lobby.
106F is on the left side of the library lobby, directly behind the Information Desk.
You may also schedule an appointment with the library staff by emailing Tina McPherson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The College of Architecture building suffered extensive damage during Hurricane Ike. Part of the roof was blown off and rain flooded the library. The Architecture and Art Library will be closed until further notice. During this time, please visit the M.D. Anderson Library for assistance. ILL books and books on hold may be borrowed at the M.D. Anderson Library service desk. All Architecture and Art Library books should be returned at either the M.D. Anderson, Music, Optometry, or Pharmacy Library.
You may contact the Jenkins Architecture and Art Library staff at email@example.com or 713-743-2340.
As most of you know, the William R. Jenkins Architecture and Art Library staff has conducted satisfaction surveys in each of the past three fall semesters. The survey results guide planning and track development. The UH Libraries system also conducts its own survey each spring, called LibQUAL. In the past, the library was unable to do a separate analysis for each of the branch libraries. That is now corrected, however. In the future, therefore, the Jenkins Library will offer its survey in the spring.
I know many of you recently helped us by completing our survey last semester, and we are very grateful. If you are willing and able, would you please consider completing the new one. It is quite different and will be open through Friday, the 18th. It should take 10 – 15 minutes for you to complete the LibQUAL survey. It was developed and is administered by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). Your responses are sent to ARL's office, and only the analysis and compiled demographic data are available to us. If you would like more information about the survey, it is available on their web site at http://www.libqual.org/About/index.cfm. Collected data will be used to improve library services.
To take the survey, go to: http://survey.libqual.org/index.cfm?ID=607812
ebrary, which produces a large number of our library's e-books, is hosting a survey to determine how our students use e-books. We will use this data to improve our online book services, so please feel encouraged to complete the questionnaire which is available at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ZSXA2X_2bHmmN6hbcjfBnnhQ_3d_3d.

Grain storage ideas from All Around the Farm
Unplug the sump in the grain bin
This device Lloyd Erickson of Hamill, South Dakota, built will slide into the tube on the unloader after the flighting is removed. Pull the lever in and out and side to side and the top piece of tubing moves the 3/4-inch rod on the end upward. When the rod hits the grain, it breaks up smaller pieces of debris.
Fill a wet holding bin
Scott Hulstein of Melvin, Iowa, poured a piece of concrete with a shallow pit to accept the auger hopper and covered it with a removable steel grate. He's able to drive over it with either our semi or wagons. The concrete is sloped slightly toward the auger to help with cleanout. In the fall they remove the grate, lift out the hopper, then replace the grate.
View the top from the bottom
It's difficult to know when the silo is full of shelled corn. Now that R. and M.H. from Crawfordsville, Indiana, cut a rectangular slot out at the top and inserted a plastic window, they can see from ground level. Saves trips up and down the ladder.
Look ma, 2 hands!
The climb up and down A.T.'s 4 hopper bins on his farm near Fortuna, North Dakota, is safer now that he don't have to carry clumsy cans with us. Now they just pour the grain samples right from the probe into 1 1/2-inch PVC pipe that I mounted to the bin to form a chute. There is a 3-inch cleanout with a cover at the top & he used a radiator hose to make the bend.
With the auger goes a rain guard
John Eden of Omaha, Nebraska, cut the top of an old PVC water tank into a 3-foot diameter. The original fill hole works perfectly to slide over the spout on his grain auger. With a few holes drilled in it, rope runs through and around the spout.
Farm-built grain leg
Todd Koertge of Parkersburg, Illinois, built a grain leg tower. Then he did his own installation, saving about $30,000 in the process. Koertge's is 125 feet high and has a platform on the top for a hoist system. He added I-beam trolleys they can hook onto each of the downspouts to put them up. This shop-built tower is 125 feet tall and constructed of 1/2-inch-thick oil field pipe found at auction. No guide wires are needed because of its heavy concrete ballast.
Old sprayer tank makes a hopper topper
With a little measuring and some work with a reciprocating saw, Douglas Coop of Jacksonville, Illinois, now has a custom-fit hopper extension. It lets him back the grain truck up to the auger and easily unload with no spillage. The plastic is heavy-duty but light enough that it's easy to put on and take off.
Whether you're doing it to spruce up or save your back, here are a few ideas to improve your farm's grain storage from All Around the Farm.

Twenty-two-year-old Elliot Rodger, son of Hunger Games Assistant Director Peter Rodger, has allegedly gone on a shooting rampage in Santa Barbara California, close to UCSB campus. Rodger is suspected of shooting six people dead in what is described as "a rage against being rejected by women."
According to The Telegraph, "The shootings broke out in the affluent Isla Vista neighbourhood of Santa Barbara next to a college campus at about 9.30pm as young people milled through the streets on their way to and from restaurants, cafes and bars."
The report includes a link to a chilling video recorded by Elliot Rodger, describing his life of loneliness and rejection by girls. "Well, this is my last video. It all has come to this. It all has come to this. Tomorrow is that day I will have my revenge against all humanity."
The full story is available on The Telegraph website.

On October 5 2016 the Society of American Archivists hosted Ask An Archivist day.
Archivists around the world took to Twitter to respond to questions tweeted with the hashtag #AskAnArchivist. This was an opportunity for archivists and records managers to engage via their personal and/or institutional Twitter accounts and respond to questions posed directly to them or more generally to all participants.
This was a great opportunity to break down the barriers that make archives seem inaccessible, to engage directly with the public about the importance of our work and the records we hold, to impact the global understanding of archivists, and to emphasise the value of archives.
We had a really good time with the students and a lot of questions were asked by the students and even their teachers. It seemed like most of the students did not really know what an archive was, or the roles and functions of the National Archives of Solomon Islands. So we gave a brief introduction to the organisation and urged students that, should they have research and assignments on History, we welcomed them to visit our office and to get assistance from our Research Unit officers. Therefore, the International Archives day 2016 was a campaign day for us here at the National Archives of Solomon Islands; to increase awareness amongst the young generation of the country to know what we have, what we do, and what we can offer to the public and nation. We let those who have not heard of the National Archives know how important our organisation is to both the government and the citizens of this country. I also ended the sessions by saying that without an archive and archivists to preserve our historical records we would never know what happened in the past.
It was wonderful to meet people who subsequently became my coursemates at UCL, as well as those who opted for other UK programmes or who have since started traineeships or volunteering.
8 people attended the second event in April 2016 in a larger venue attached to a friend's house.
Funding – It is important to me that the events are completely free and that lunch and refreshments are provided, which meant that the whole project has been entirely self-funded.
Space – The lack of funding precluded hiring a venue, so options were limited. At the first event I was unable to provide a separate space for eating and drinking.
Timing – I had not anticipated how far people would travel to attend the event. One participant had to leave very early to travel from Chester in time for the 9:30am start.
The three main lessons I have learnt are: firstly, that smaller-scale, more regular get-togethers are more effective at maintaining momentum in a project. Secondly, that the blog's name should ideally be self-explanatory. (I chose to call the project 'Quintessence of Place' because of how postcards images aim to capture the essence of a location). Finally, the importance of getting feedback from participants to help future planning. The numbers were so small and the atmosphere so informal that a feedback survey did not feel appropriate at the time.
The next event will take place on Saturday 17 June 2017 at the Institute of Education, 20 Bedford Way, London, WC1H 0AL. You can find more information and register for the event here. If you would like to get involved, I would be delighted to hear you via email at email@example.com.
You can follow the project's progress on the QoP blog and on twitter, or connect with me via LinkedIn. Feel free to let me know if there is a specific type of experience you are looking for from the collection or from future events.

With just under one week left until Thanksgiving, I'm wrapping up my Family Favorites: 10 Holiday Side Dish series. I saved my favorite holiday side dish for the last…Grandma's Stuffing.
For starters, I think this is the best stuffing ever. I used to not like it when I was a kid. For some strange reason I didn't think that raisins and apples needed to be mixed in with the stuffing (my dad still feels the same way). So my grandma would always make two pans, one with the raisins and apples and one without. But now I think that stuffing is missing something if there isn't raisins and apples in it!
Making this stuffing for this post was the first time I'd actually ever made it. My grandma was always the one that made it at Thanksgiving, but she passed away this year and is terribly missed by her big family and lots of friends. We're going to be celebrating Thanksgiving at my parent's house this year, so we will have to carry on the tradition of making her stuffing (one with raisins and apples and one without) there!
Over the years, I was lucky enough to have gotten some of my favorite recipes from my grandma. I've shared a few before, the Sour Cream Apple Pie and Grandma's Oatmeal Raisin Bread. This stuffing recipe ranks right up there with being one of my favorite recipes from her!
As you know the past few weeks I've been talking about the Thankful 4 Ag campaign. I am teaming up with Bayer CropScience who is partnering with Feeding America to help bring awareness and raise money for people and families who struggle with hunger. This time of the year is really special for families when they get together and celebrate the holidays, a lot of the times these gatherings are centered around food. But 1 out of every 6 people in America are facing hunger issues. So to help with this, every time someone goes to the Thankful 4 Ag website and creates a digital meal with four of his or her favorite Thanksgiving dishes, Bayer will donate 10 meals to Feeding America this holiday season. As of this afternoon, 40,700 meals have been donated already!
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- ½ cup margarine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pepper
- 8 cups dry bread cubes
- 2 apples, chopped
- ¾ cup raisins
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 cups chicken broth
- Cooked giblets
- Cook giblets until tender and chop finely. Saute onion and celery in butter.
- Combine all ingredients and place in a 9x14 pan or casserole dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Enjoy!

Sport Concussion Assessment Tool for children ages 5 to 12 years
The Child SCAT3 is a standardized tool for evaluating injured children for concussion and can be used in children aged from 5 to 12 years. It supersedes the original SCAT and the SCAT2 published in 2005 and 2009, respectively'. For older persons, ages 13 years and over, please use the SCAB. The Child SCAT3 is designed for use by medical professionals. If you are not qualified, please use the Sport Concussion Recognition Tool.Preseason baseline testing with the Child SCAT3 can be helpful for interpreting post-injury test scores.
Specific instructions for use of the Child SCAT3 are provided on page 3. If you are not familiar with the Child SCAT3, please read through these instructions carefully. This tool may be freely copied in its current form for distribution to individuals, teams, groups and organizations. Any revision and any reproduction in a digital form require approval by the Concussion in Sport Group. NOTE: The diagnosis of a concussion is a clinical judgment, ideally made by a medical professional. The Child SCAT3 should not be used solely to make, or exclude, the diagnosis of concussion in the ab· sence of clinical judgement. An athlete may have a concussion even if their Child SCAT3 is "normal".
A concussion is a disturbance in brain function caused by a direct or indirect force to the head. It results in a variety of non-specific signs and/or symptoms (like those listed below) and most often does not involve loss of consciousness. Concussion should be suspected in the presence of any one or more of the following:
NOTE: A hit to the head can sometimes be associated with a more severe brain injury. If the concussed child displays any of the following, then do not proceed with the Child SCAT3; instead activate emergency procedures and urgent transportation to the nearest hospital:
Glasgow Coma score (E + V + M)
If any of the following signs are observed after a direct or indirect blow to the head, the child should stop participation, be evaluated by a medical professional and should not be permitted to return to sport the same day if a concussion is suspected.
"I am going to ask you a few questions, please listen carefully and give your best effort."
Modified Maddocks questions (1 point for each correct answer)
Child-Maddocks score is for sideline diagnosis of concussion only and is not used for serial testing.
Any child with a suspected concussion should be REMOVED FROM PLAY, medically assessed and monitored for deterioration {i.e., should not be left alone). No child diagnosed with concussion should be returned to sports participation on the day of Injury.
Child Report
Overall rating for parent/teacher/coach/carer to answer.
How different is the child acting compared to his/her usual self?
Scoring on the Child SCAT3 should not be used as a stand-alone method to diagnose concussion, measure recovery or make decisions about an athlete's readiness to return to competition after concussion.
Standardized Assessment of Concussion - Child Version (SAC-c)•
Orientation (1 point for each correct answer)
Concentration: Days in Reverse Order (1 pt. for entire sequence correct)
Do one or both of the following tests.
Upper limb coordination
Since signs and symptoms may evolve over time, it is important to consider repeat evaluation in the acute assessment of concussion.
Words in Italics throughout the Child SCAT3 are the instructions given to the child by the tester.
To be completed on the sideline/in the playground, immediately following concussion. There is no requirement to repeat these questions at follow-up.
In situations where the symptom scale is being completed after exercise, it should still be done in a resting state, at least 10 minutes post-exercise.
Ask each question on the score sheet. A correct answer for each question scores 1 point. If the child does not understand the question, gives an incorrect answer, or no answer, then the score for that question is 0 points.
"I am going to test your memory. I will read you a list of words and when I am done, repeat back as many words as you can remember. in any order."
"I am going to repeat the same list again. Repeat back as many words as you can remember in any order. even if you said the word before."
Complete all 3 trials regardless of score on trial 1 &2. Read the words at a rate of one per second. Score 1 pt. for each correct response. Total score equals sum across all 3 trials. Do not inform the child that delayed recall will be tested.
"I am going to read you a string of numbers and when I am done, you repeat them back to me backwards, in reverse order of how I read them to you. For example, if I say 7-1. you would say 1-Z"
If correct, go to next string length. If incorrect, read trial 2. One point possible for each string length. Stop after incorrect on both trials. The digits should be read at the rate of one per second.
"Now tell me the days of the week in reverse order. Start with Sunday and go backward. So you'll say Sunday. Saturday ... Go ahead"
1 pt. for entire sequence correct
The delayed recall should be performed after completion of the Balance and Coordination Examination.
"Do you remember that list of words I read a few times earlier? Tell me as many words from the list as you can remember in any order."
Circle each word correctly recalled. Total score equals number of words recalled.
These instructions are to be read by the person administering the child SCAT3, and each balance task should be demonstrated to the child. The child should then be asked to copy what the examiner demonstrated.
This balance testing is based on a modified version of the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)'-A stopwatch or watch with a second hand is required for this testing.
"I am now going to test your balance. Please take your shoes off, roll up your pant legs above ankle (If applicable), and remove any ankle taping (if applicable). This test will consist of two different parts."
The first stance is standing with the feet together with hands on hips and with eyes closed. The child should try to maintain stability in that position for 20 seconds. You should inform the child that you will be counting the number of times the child moves out of this position. You should start timing when the child is set and the eyes are closed.
Instruct the child to stand heel-to-toe with the non-dominant foot in the back. Weight should be evenly distributed across both feet. Again. the child should try to maintain stability for 20 seconds with hands on hips and eyes closed. You should inform the child that you will be counting the number of times the child moves out of this position. If the child stumbles out of this position. instruct him/her to open the eyes and return to the start position and continue balancing. You should start timing when the child is set and the eyes are closed.
Each of the 20-second trials is scored by counting the errors, or deviations from the proper stance, accumulated by the child. The examiner will begin counting errors only after the child has assumed the proper start position. The modified BESS is calculated by adding one error point for each error during the two 20-second tests. The maximum total number of errors for any single condition is 10. If a child commits multiple errors simultaneously, only one error is recorded but the child should quickly return to the testing position, and counting should resume once the subject is set. Children who are unable to maintain the testing procedure for a minimum of five seconds at the start are assigned the highest possible score, ten, for that testing condition.
OPTION: For further assessment, the same 2 stances can be performed on a surface of medium density foam (e.g., approximately 50cmx40cmx6cm).
Use a clock (with a second hand) or stopwatch to measure the time taken to complete this task. Instruction for the examiner-Demonstrate the following to the child:
"The child is instructed to stand with their feet together behind a starting line (the test is best done with footwear removed). Then, they walk in a forward direction as quickly and as accurately as possible along with a 38mm wide (sports tape). 3-meter line with an alternate foot heel-to-toe gait ensuring that they approximate their heel and toe on each step. Once they cross the end of the 3m line, they tum 180 degrees and return to the starting point using the same gait. A total of 4 trials are done and the best time is retained. Children fail the test if they step off the line, have a separation between their heel and toe, or if they touch or grab the examiner or an object. In this case, the time is not recorded and the trial repeated, if appropriate. "
Explain to the child that you will time how long it takes them to walk to the end of the line and back.
Finger-to-nose (FTN) task:
The tester should demonstrate it to the child.
"I am going to test your coordination now. Please sit comfortably on the chair with your eyes open and your arm (either right or left) outstretched (shoulder flexed to 90 degrees and elbow and fingers extended). When I give a start signal. I would like you to perform five successive finger to nose repetitions using your index finger to touch the tip of the nose as quickly and as accurately as possible."
Scoring: 5 correct repetitions in< 4 seconds= 1
Note for testers: Children fail the test if they do not touch their nose, do not fully extend their elbow or do not perform five repetitions. Failure should be scored as 0.
Any child suspected of having a concussion should be removed from play. and then seek medical evaluation. The child must NOT return to play or sport on the same day as the suspected concussion.
Problems could arise over the first 24-48 hours. The child should not be left alone and must go to a hospital at once if they develop any of the following:
Remember, it is better to be safe.
Always consult your doctor after a suspected concussion.
Concussion may impact on the child's cognitive ability to learn at school. This must be considered, and medical clearance is required before the child may return to school. It is reasonable for a child to miss a day or two of school after concussion, but extended absence is uncommon. In some children, a graduated return to school program will need to be developed for the child. The child will progress through the return to school program provided that there is no worsening of symptoms. If any particular activity worsens symptoms, the child will abstain from that activity until it no longer causes symptom worsening. Use of computers and internet should follow a similar graduated program, provided that it does not worsen symptoms. This program should include communication between the parents, teachers, and health professionals and will vary from child to child. The return to school program should consider:
The child is not to return to play or sport until he/she has successfully returned to school/learning. without worsening of symptoms. Medical clearance should be given before return to play.
If there are any doubts, management should be referred to a qualified health practi-tioner, expert in the management of concussion in children.
There should be no return to play until the child has successfully returned to school/learning, without worsening of symptoms. Children must not be returned to play the same day of injury. When returning children to play, they should medically cleared and then follow a step wise supervised program, with stages of progression.
Rehabilitation stage
Functional exercise at each stage of rehabilitation
Objective of each stage
No activity
Physical and cognitive rest
Light aerobic exercise
Walking, swimming or stationary cycling keeping intensity, 70% maximum predicted heart rate. No resistance training
Increase heart rate
Sport-specific exercise
Skating drills in ice hockey, running drills in soccer. No head impact activities
Add movement
Non-contact training drills
Progression to more complex training drills, eg passing drills in football and ice hockey. May start progressive resistance training
Exercise, coordinator, and cognitive load
Full contact practice
Following medical clearance participate in normal training activities
Restore confidence and assess functional skills by coaching staff
Return to play
Normal game play
There should be approximately 24 hours (or longer) for each stage and the child should drop back to the previous asymptomatic level if any post-concussive symptoms recur. Resistance training should only be added in the later stages. If the child is symptomatic for more than 10 days, then review by a health practitioner, expert in the management of concussion, is recommended. Medical clearance should be given before return to play.
(To be given to the person monitoring the concussed child)
This child has received an injury to the head. A careful medical examination has been carried out and no sign of any serious complications has been found. It is expected that recovery will be rapid, but the child will need monitoring for the next 24 hours by a responsible adult. If you notice any change in behavior, vomiting, dizziness, worsening headache, double vision or excessive drowsiness, please call an ambulance to transport the child to hospital immediately.

For Healthcare Questions call 1.866.KINDRED
On April 17, CMS issued a proposed rule for the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) prospective payment system (PPS) for fiscal year 2020. The proposed rule includes notable changes.
A key element of the proposal would increase net payments for IRFs by 2.3% ($195 million) compared to fiscal year 2019 payments. This payment proposal includes a 3.0% increase offset by a statutorily mandated productivity cut of 0.5% and a 0.2% decrease in outlier payments. The rule also proposes to rebase and revise the IRF market basket to reflect a 2016 base year (it had been based upon 2012 costs).
Providers have until June 17, 2019 to submit their comments and recommendations to the CMS proposed rule.
Three additional key provisions of the proposal include:
Kindred is actively engaged in modeling the proposed new system to better understand the impact it may have on patient care and operations.
Kindred will be developing formal comments to CMS prior to the June 17 deadline with recommendations to help shape the final rule and ensure that updates to the payment system preserve patient access to the high intensity and quality-driven care that our nation's IRFs deliver.
If you are interested in learning more about the details of the proposal and how it might impact your rehab program, please contact Kindred.

A.S. Face 1080: Lisa Hresko
Hello. My name is Lisa Hresko. I was diagnosed with AS about 2 1/2 years ago, but I have been suffering since childhood. I am 43 years old, and I have 2 beautiful daughters.
Unfortunately, after I was diagnosed, my daughters were tested and were both positive for the HLA-B27 gene. My youngest, 20, is very symptomatic and has had to have spine surgery this year to fuse 13 discs and insert 2 rods to straighten her spine. I have only required one joint surgery so far, to my jaw, when I was 17 years old.
I have pain every day and find that staying as active as possible helps to at least stay distracted. I am a homemaker, mom, wife, and college student. I am currently attending a local community college in pursuit of my AA degree in Art Education. I intend to continue my education and earn a masters degree in Art or Art Education.
Some days it is extremely difficult to work on my art, since my hands are so bad — painful and swollen almost all of the time. But, I have found ways to adapt and keep moving forward. I took prednisone for several years, until my blood pressure and blood sugar rose to a concerning level, and am currently in the process of testing to determine an appropriate treatment plan once again. I am hoping to be able to try the new medication that was specifically developed to target AS. I will find out next week.
The guilt that I feel for passing this horrific illness to my daughters is hard to manage, however, they are both so strong and positive every day. They inspire me to keep going and to never give up. Even when my youngest daughter is in the hospital for weeks on end, she stays extremely positive and reminds me that things could be worse for us both. She definitely has the worst of it out of the three of us. Her spine has already started to fuse itself together and her SI joints are very bad. Additionally, in March when she had 13 discs fused, the surgeon only used the extra bone from her spine to do the fusion, not needing to take anything from her hip or leg. He confirmed her diagnosis at that time.
While I struggle every day to live life, I also am thankful for my illness. It has forced me to view life with a unique outlook, humor, and a lot of patience. I believe that my illness has taught me so much and has allowed me to be a better person.
I have read many of the stories posted on the Faces of AS, and feel that I am very fortunate to be 43 years old and still able to walk on my own, even if it is painful. I have decided that I will not give up easily and that I will fight very hard to stay on my own two feet for as long as I can humanly and possibly fight.
My daughter will need additional spine surgery next year since her lumbar spine is compensating for the correction to the rest of her back. I do not look forward to watching her suffer through this, however, I know that these experiences are making her a stronger person. In a way, they are making me a stronger person too.
Once I am finished with my education, I hope to be able to teach high school Art for at least a bit before I become too sick or have too much pain to work. I have had to slow down on my pursuit of a college degree since my daughter's illness has worsened and she requires more care. I try to balance as much as I can, but place a great deal of importance on my education.
Thank you for listening to my story. I think of you all often and pray that you find relief from your AS symptoms.

Washington Wild protects and restores wild lands and waters in Washington State through advocacy, education and civil engagement.
Founded in 1979, Washington Wild is a nonprofit, tax-deductible organization that brings people together in the vigorous defense of our remaining wild forests, waters and wildlife. We believe that public lands are a public issue. By educating, empowering and mobilizing our communities, Washington Wild builds powerful grassroots networks that help protect wild lands throughout the state.
Our supporters share our philosophy that our remaining wildlands have intrinsic value and are essential to our quality of life. Our approach was originally developed through our successful efforts to raise the public support necessary to pass the 1984 Washington Wilderness Act, which protected over a million acres of wilderness.
Today, we apply these beliefs and time-tested strategies to protect millions of acres of unroaded, ecologically critical forests that are rapidly being lost to logging, road building and poor stewardship.

I have an old refrigerator in my garage which I suspected was a power hog. I bought a Sonoff S31 Power Monitoring outlet and flashed it with custom firmware (Tasmota) and blogged about that here.
I've since figured out you can do a WHOLE LOT MORE with a Tasmota flashed Sonoff S31. I figure there are two important things you'd want to know about an old refrigerator.
- Is it running?
- Has the door been left open?
Both answers can be tackled with home automation. I use the EXCELLENT program HomeAssistant. So let's get to it, shall we?

text: News Animals Meet the First Baby Koala Born in Australian Wildlife Park Since Devastating Wildfires By Mary Jo DiLonardo Mary Jo DiLonardo LinkedIn Twitter Senior Writer University of Cincinnati Mary Jo DiLonardo has worked in print, online, and broadcast journalism for 25 years and covers nature, health, science, and animals. Learn about our editorial process Published June 2, 2020 11:07AM EDT Share Twitter Pinterest Email Koala joey Ash makes her first appearance from her mother's pouch. Australian Reptile Park/Facebook News Environment Business & Policy Science Animals Home & Design Current Events Treehugger Voices News Archive A wildlife park in Australia is offering a tiny, fluffy bundle of good news. Keepers announced the birth of their first baby koala since bushfires devastated the continent. The Australian Reptile Park near Sydney, New South Wales, posted a video of the baby koala, known as a joey. Keepers named her Ash. "We have a very special announcement... Our very first koala of the season has popped out of Mums pouch to say hello!" the park posted. They called her "a sign of hope for the future of Australia's native wildlife." The wildlife park reopened May 1 after closing down in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the baby koala's birth, she has been a massive hit online, and has started popping out more frequently to greet her fans. Her mom, Rosie, looks on quietly as the little joey surveys her new world. Bushfires began erupting across eastern and western Australia in October, ravaging many parts of Australia. By the time they were contained in February, the fires had destroyed more than 2,400 homes and about 13.3 million acres (5.4 million hectacres) just in the eastern state of New South Wales, the country's most populous state. There were many heartbreaking stories and videos from the fires — including images of the many animals that were affected. Koalas were especially hard hit. More than 30 koalas were rescued from fires and brought to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital in New South Wales. After raising more than $7.8 million initially to install drinking stations in burned-out areas across country, the hospital now plans to start a koala breeding program with all the extra funds. Koalas are endemic to Australia, meaning that's the only place where the marsupials exist in the wild. Australia was once home to millions of koalas, but the Australian Koala Foundation says koalas are now "functionally extinct." The group estimates there are no more than 80,000 koalas left in the wild in Australia. The International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Endangered Species lists koalas as "vulnerable" with decreasing numbers. The WWF has warned that koalas could be extinct in New South Wales by 2050. But at least there's a little good news at the wildlife park with newborn Ash.

Clearwater City Council candidates mum on Scientology's impact downtown - 2018-02-13
At a recent City Council election debate, the first question pitched to the four candidates was: What is the biggest problem facing Clearwater right now?
Seat 5 incumbent Hoyt Hamilton answered in code.
"I'm willing to work with anybody, but they have to be open and honest in how they communicate and we haven't always had that, so I think one of the biggest problems trying to move Clearwater forward is getting people to communicate openly and honestly with what we're trying to do."
Wait. Who is "they"? Which people are not being honest?
Asked in a later interview if he was referring to the Church of Scientology, which cut communication with city officials last year over a property dispute, Hamilton confirmed he was. So why didn't he come out and say that?

Some people grow up in neighborhoods where windows have bars on them, or friends are shot and killed, or people robbed on a consistent basis, and no one can be trusted from the day they're born. Be grateful that things were at least good enough to allow your naivete to be experienced at all. Some people have it so bad from the start that your experience of your trust and hope in a Utopia would seem like an utterly foreign concept to them.ReplyDelete
I do hope you will forgive the person. To forgive is a divine attribute given to us. Our Father in Heaven want us to forgive. BlessingsReplyDelete
Being a trusting and forgiving person, and then being taken advantage of, can be so devastating. I am so sorry for your loss. Some things are easy to let go and move on from, but some things affect you so much. It's sometimes a shock which one's end up affecting us the most. In situations like these it's hard to know what to take away, and what to let go. How much do you learn take from it? How much trust to you invest back in? I'm striving to find this balance in my life. I don't know where to draw the line. What is just being smart and what is succumbing to fear? I hope things get better for you, and I hope that you find things you can put your faith and trust in. I love the idea of living in a community where we don't have to lock doors, and we can all look out for each other. I know if it's going to start somewhere its going to start with me, so I try as hard as I can to be the change I want to see. But this can take a toll on a person as well, and sometimes I feel like I'm taken advantage of. Those times I usually just give it to the Lord.ReplyDelete

I got my first pair of glasses in the third grade. They were huge with clear-purple frames, and although I now cringe at how "nerdy" they must have looked, I recall how amazing it felt to be able to actually see the chalk board clearly!
Since third grade, I have been wearing glasses or contacts every day of my life. I have woke each morning and put my glasses on before doing anything else. Since I don't love wearing glasses outside of the house, I have struggled with the annoyance of putting in contacts each day for over 20 years!
If you are a fellow contact lens wearer, you understand the pain of ripped contacts, the trouble of traveling with cases and solution, the frustration contacts falling out unexpectedly and even the discomfort of styes, something that I have had frequently the past few years!
Finally, this past December, my eye doctor suggested I get LASIK. The idea intrigued me and made ma a bit nervous, all at the same time.
I did my own thorough research and found Dr. Ashraf at Atlanta Vision Institute. From the moment I met Dr. Ashraf during our consult, I felt comfortable with him and confident in his expertise.
Dr. Ashraf has performed over 40,000 LASIK surgeries and Atlanta Vision Institute is the first eye vision center in the state of Georgia to offer SMILE LASIK, which allows for a quick 8-10 minute procedure and rapid recovery! Our consultantion showed I was a good candidate for LASIK, answered my questions and put my mind at ease about the procedure!
I'm excited to share more with you about my LASIK surgery here on the blog and on social media soon. In the mean time, feel free to pop over to my Instagram highlights @laurenlefevre, where you will find my experience documented under the hot pink tab titled "LASIK" on my profile! {See pic below.}
If you are on the fence about LASIK and are in the Atlanta area, I encourage you to schedule a free consult ASAP with Dr. Ashraf at AVI. Atlanta Vision Institute has three convenient and beautiful office locations around Atlanta, including Johns Creek, Midtown and Dunwoody. Use code LAUREN2020 for 20% off your procedure, and feel free to email me email@example.com with any questions!
Stay tuned for more about my procedure and amazing experience with Atlanta Vision Institute coming soon!
Stylishly yours,

Jamaican singer Spiritual has been in the music business for many years, but has never released more than a handful of singles. But now his debut album has arrived.
Awakening is a slice of traditional and very well-produced roots reggae. And that's something that could be expected when he has worked with renowned producers like Bobby "Digital" Dixon and Clifton "Specialist" Dillon.
Spiritual's singing style lies close to reggae greats like Burning Spear and Culture's Joseph Hill. And musically he treads the same path – conscious and authentic roots reggae with a high dose of integrity.
The two singles off the album – Time Has Come and Stand Up For Rasta – sum up the album very well.

After receiving her Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Chef John Folse's Culinary Institute, she went to Chicago to complete her externship. She worked as a Sous Chef at TRU Restaurant in Chicago for four years. And, just as she was feeling homesick for Louisiana, she overheard a conversation in the kitchen about a position opening up for a new venture by Chef John Folse and Rick Tramonto down in New Orleans. She asked for the opportunity and was hired during a call.
At Folse's Bittersweet Plantation, she worked alongside the executive team building the menu, working on the concept and the original design for Restaurant R'evolution. All of her hard work and grit paid off because eventually, she earned her way to her current leadership position at Restaurant R'evolution.
In the episode, it's apparent that she is confident and comfortable mentoring the staff. She loves to see them shine. She also talks about how her work takes her to offsite events such as the Los Angeles Food & Wine, Pebble Beach Food & Wine, and she has even gone to London for an event. All the while, she balances her work duties with her family life.
Her advice for young Chefs new to the restaurant business:
- Be a sponge and learn as much as you can.
- Read and research new techniques.
- Find a mentor for guidance.
- Be humble and open to suggestions.

Cynthia was completely amazing. She gave me some closure that i needed with my loved one. I would highly recommend her to anyone! (2017)
My husband, mother, and I went to see Cynthia over this past weekend. We both did an hour reading each in her office. And all I can say is that she is the truth 🙂 We all received NOTHING less than a gift from Cynthia! When you lose a loved one, all you can ever do is long to be in there presence, and have a connection once again. Well I can never give enough thanks to Cynthia for letting me have that feeling, if only for a moment 🙂 she has a beautiful gift!!! We got so much confirmation that our loved ones are always around us. As well as guidance 🙂 6 out of 5 stars, lol (2017)
Dear Cynthia Rose,
I can't tell you and thank you enough for teaching the energy healing class. It is a rare day that I miss it (followed by a distance healing to my dogs or someone else) and it has changed my life, really. I even ran my energy while in the oral surgeons chair on Tuesday and I felt such calm. Thank you! Hugs to both you and Brendan. Stacy (January 2017)
I went to Cynthia Rose for affirmation and clarity. Both of which I received in abundance. It's a wonderful thing to feel supported by the Universe. And, she makes sure to convey that message. You leave feeling more connected to Source and ready to pursue the life you were meant to live. It's a wonderful way to remind yourself you are not in this alone. I highly recommend a reading with Cynthia Rose. She will bring the Core You back to you. The you that is all light. Tania Van Pelt
Hi Cynthia. Thank you so much for connecting with my loved ones that have passed – The connection you established with my dad, mom, dad, aunt, and uncle was strong and clear. What an amazing gift you have! I truly appreciate all the information I received from my loved ones.
I just want to let you know I shared the recording of the reading with my sister. When my aunt kept referring the birds, I didn't really know what that meant, but my sister did. My sister is going through a hard time right now, and every day she watches these birds that have migrated to her neighborhood – I guess these birds do this every year. She said that this is the one thing in her life right know that is beautiful and those birds mean a lot to her. I also remembered what my dad was referring to when he mentioned the cat. There was one cat that was a stray that wandered into our yard, and that cat and I had a special bond. I know my mom didn't like the cat.
What a wonderful reading that was! My sister and I were just talking about my aunt that came through in the reading just a few days prior to the reading. We talked about how much we loved her and loved having her visit so I was so happy that she came through in the reading.

Hi Cynthia – Thank you so much for doing the reading with me. What a blessing you and your gifts are to others. It's an experience I will treasure forever, I only wish I could convey the gratitude that my grandma has to you as well. Not sure if you remember the 'eyes' or headaches we talked about and I didn't know but I found out that my grandma is scheduled for cataract surgery. My Grandpa was so devoted to her. So many undeniable blessings in what came through that there was no doubt my grandpa was lovingly letting us know he is very much with us. I just can't thank you enough!
Much love, Tresa Bomgaars & Family (April 2016)
Cynthia Rose is truly blessed with the gift of communicating with those who have passed on. I lost my soul mate. Speaking to him through Cynthia has been the best healing/grieving process for me. I am so appreciative she is here! (March 2016)

Cynthia Rose I want to let you know your reading was profoundly positive and life changing for me. Details you provided were evidence to me that you were in communication with my loved ones. Your reading was filled with pearls of wisdom and it was very healing for me. It is clear to me that you are coming from a place of sacred responsibility and serve with the greatest of ethics. Your readings are framed with compassion and love.
Thank you V.C.
Cynthia Rose, Thank you for the connection you made with my Mom.
I miss her so much and you truly had her essence down to a tee.
God bless you. (January 2016)

You are amazing Cynthia Rose. In your reading to me, you described the spirit of someone I thought I was happily over and done with. You said he wanted to apologize. I overcame my initial resistance and just listened. The next day I shared the reading with someone who means the world to me, who also had had a connection with that person long ago. The most incredible thing happened. Discussing your reading together built a new bridge of communication between the two of us, and our relationship has never been closer. What a gift!
With gratitude for a life-transforming reading, K.H.
Hi, Cynthia. Thanks so much for the channeling today. You are very gifted and it was a very poignant and moving session. Melissa Mojo
With great appreciation:
I just have to tell you how moving and healing your group reading was for us the other night. Everyone, even those who weren't read, felt the spiritual healing and understanding within themselves. You have a very special gift and we so appreciated you sharing it with us.
With great appreciation,
C. K.and all who were in attendance
