Answers To Questions About Body Donation After Death for Medical Education and Research
Q. Why are human bodies donated to the Bureau of Anatomical Services or one of its member institutions?
A. They are an indispensable aid in medical teaching and research. The basis of all medical knowledge is human anatomy; human anatomy can be learned only by a study of the human body. Without this study there could be no doctors, no surgery, no alleviation of disease or repair of injury.
Q. Is this a normal and acceptable procedure?
A. Definitely yes.
Q. Are there religious objectives to donating one's body to medical science?
A. The practice is approved, and even encouraged, by Catholic, Protestant and Reformed Jewish religious leaders.
Q. Is there an urgent need for body donations?
A. The need is great and will be further increased by the demand for more doctors, dentists, nurses and other health service practitioners. A lack of anatomical subjects would necessitate a curtailment of vitally important teaching and research programs and thus have an adverse effect on the health and welfare of the population.
Q . Is donating one's body difficult or complicated?
A. No, it is a very simple and easy procedure. One needs only to complete a donation form which requires a few items of information, the donor's signature and the signature of two witnesses.
Q. Can a donation take place against the wishes of the spouse or next of kin?
A. Under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, your wishes take legal precedence over those of your next of kin. However, the BAS is not inclined to accept a body under conditions in which there is an objection to donation or dissension among members of the family who are legally responsible for final disposition of the body. Donors are advised to notify all persons likely to be concerned of their intentions and plans to make a donation of their body. In this way, any difference of opinion can be resolved in advance of the time of death when decisions must be made in haste and under the handicap of grief.
Q. Can the next of kin donate the body of a recently deceased relative to medical science?
A. Our sister institutions within the State of Louisiana (LSU School of Medicine New Orleans and Tulane University School of Medicine) do allow for body donations by next of kin. The policy at LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport does NOT allow for next of kin body donation.
Q . Must a person be of legal age to sign a donation form?
A. Yes, a donor and all witnesses must be at least 18 years of age and there is no maximum age limit.
Q . How are bodies that are donated utilized?
A. Many bodies are used to teach medical, dental, nursing and allied health students basic human anatomy. Some are used by the faculty and residents to develop new surgical or diagnostic procedures. Others are utilized for Post Graduate course and continuing education for practicing Health Care providers. This is not comparable to an autopsy. No reports of any kind are furnished to the donor's family.
Q . May I alter, cancel or revoke my donation if I change my mind?
A. Yes, at any time by notifying the Willed Body Program at LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport in writing of your desire to cancel your donation.
Q . Will I or my family be paid for my body?
A. No. Payment to individuals for an anatomical donation is not permitted by federal and state laws/regulations.
Q. Will signing the back of my driver's license ensure that my remains are given to your program?
A. No. Signing the back of your driver's license will not get your whole body donated to science. Your signature on the back of your driver's license allows medical personnel to harvest designated organs from your body for transplant purposes, but usually under optimum conditions only.
Q . Are bodies acceptable if the eyes or organs have been donated to other agencies?
A. Our Willed Body Program allows for donation of eyes but not other organs. Eyes can be donated to other agencies, but it is the donor's responsibility to contact and register with those agencies. The telephone numbers for the Northwest Louisiana Eye is listed below:
Louisiana Eye Bank: 318-222-7999
Q. Are there any restrictions on the condition of bodies accepted?
A. Normally, most bodies are acceptable. However we are unable to accept the remains of persons who die when an infectious disease present, such as AIDS, hepatitis, sepsis, etc. Remains will also be refused if an autopsy or embalming has been performed, or should the Director of Anatomical Services or their alternate representative deem the body unsuitable. You should have an alternative plan for the disposition of your body in the event it is not accepted by the LSU Health Sciences Center Willed Body Program.
Q. What is the time period before utilization of the body is completed?
A. This will vary markedly according to the medical education and research. In some instances, donations will be utilized relatively quickly where others may require up to three or more years.
Q. What if my death occurs away from my place of residence?
A. An identification card, stating that the bequest has been made, is provided by the Willed Body Program. This card should be carried in your purse or wallet at all times (the donor would be wise to note on the card the name of the person(s) to be notified in the event of sudden and unexpected death).
Q. What if my death occurs in another state?
A. Your family could attempt to donate your remains to a similar donor program in that state. Or, if it is still your family's wish to honor your original donation of your remains to our Willed Body Program, they may do so, but will incur the transportation charges to have your remains returned to Louisiana.
Q. What if I should move to another state?
A. The original bequest should be revoked in writing and a substitute arrangement be made with a similar program nearest your new home unless your family estate or survivors or opt to honor your original request in which the family will pay the transportation charges to transport your remains to Louisiana.
Q. Must I be a resident of Louisiana to donate my body?
A. As of January 1994, the Bureau discontinued taking new donations from outside the State of Louisiana. However, a prospective donor who lives outside of Louisiana, if the family agrees to pay transportation, the remains may be accepted by the Willed Body Program. Out of State agreement must be filled out in which the person responsible accepts the payment of transportation. (Copies of this form are available upon request.)
Q . May a customary or traditional type of funeral service be held prior to the transfer of the body to the Bureau for Anatomical Services?
A. We do not recommend that a traditional funeral service be held. If the family wishes to conduct a service, we suggest that they hold a memorial service.
Q. What organization should my family contact to request a death certificate*?
A. For insurance and banking purposes, a certified death certificate* is required and can be obtained from our Director of Anatomical Services (for a additional fee)
* Allow eight weeks or longer from the time of death for the death certificate to be processed.
Q . What happens when the utilization of the donation is concluded?
A. The remains will be cremated. If requested (in writing) to do so, our Department will return the ashes, in a suitable container, to the surviving relatives. If no such request is made, the ashes will be buried in a cemetery plot designated for the with an appropriate ceremony.

When we are feeling bleak, and weighed down by our own pains and realities, it can be exceptionally difficult to find meaning in our lives.
Most people don't understand what kind of courage and fortitude is needed when you're living through day after day of depression.
Lately, it's felt easier for me to sleep, and avoid life, then it has been for me to get myself up early, dressed, and painting(or writing).
Depression is a very powerful adversary. Lately I've been drawing on every part of myself, to keep my chin from dropping to my chest.
I think it's important to have a list written up and available, for times like these. Somehow, it's nearly impossible to remember what it was that inspired me, when I was in a better place, when I'm in a period where I feel swallowed up by darkness.
Once I can find the stamina and the will to draw or paint, after awhile I tend to enjoy it. But it's a true challenge, that I'm not always able to acheive.
Right now, I'm listening to a You Tube video of soothing music, with dolphins calling to each other in the background. My pain hasn't gone away, but it can be eased by music, truly funny movies, books that create new worlds for me, and painting or drawing.
It also helps to avoid being perpetually isolated, when possible.
What helps you to feel better when you're in your darkest of places?

Today I am finishing my critique of the first chapter of Angi Kelly's Adult Urban Fantasy, KISSES FROM YESTERDAY. When we last saw Alexis, she was talking to a strange man in her newly acquired house...
Alexis's heart pounded. She felt its beat in her temple, heard its throbbing in her ears. She jumped up and stumbled back, preparing to run if he came toward her. His eyes met hers, and sorrow filled his face as he looked at her.
Alexis's heart pounded. She felt its beat in her temple, heard its throbbing in her ears. She jumped up and stumbled back, preparing to run if he came toward her. His eyes met hers, and sorrow filled his face as he looked at her.
"I am sorry to have frightened you. Please, sit back down."
She stared at him, debating whether or not she was willing to take the risk, connection or no. He sat down and looked at her, hands upraised, palms toward her. His eyes were sorrowful, pleading with her.
"Please," he said again.
Alexis sank back into the chair, her eyes never leaving his face. Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair.
"Jonathan Crestwood did not commit suicide. He went into Rebecca's room that night and locked the door behind him, as he had almost every night since she died. His tears soaked her pillow as he fell asleep. He awoke later, not knowing what had wakened him. He got up and went to the basin to splash water on his face, and then realized someone else was in the room with him. He knew who she was the moment she spoke. She came to him, trying to…comfort him, but the type of comfort she offered, he was not willing to take."
"She wanted to seduce him?"
His eyes were dark as he answered. "Yes, for lack of a better term. When he refused her, she grew angry. She told him he would always be hers, and if she couldn't have him, no one could. A man grabbed him and put a cloth over his face, and then he lost consciousness."
He paused, his eyes unfocused, faraway. Alexis waited, but when it seemed as though he wasn't going to say anything else, she leaned forward. "What happened after he lost consciousness?"
The question seemed to bring him back from whatever memory he was seeing in his mind. He blinked and looked at her.
"When he awoke, he was tied to the bed and the woman was partially disrobed, straddling him. She told him he could choose to take her, and then marry her, or he could choose to die. He told her he would never take a woman such as her for his wife. She slapped him, and told him she had been the one to arrange for Rebecca's brutal death."
He looked at the portrait of Rebecca, and then he sighed, a sound of weariness that seemed to come from deep within his soul. Anger blazed in his eyes.
"Then, she told him he still had to choose…her or death. He chose death. They cut his wrists and watched as his lifeblood drained away, and when he died, they untied him and slipped out through the window."
"How could you possibly know these things? I mean, if you know, then why didn't the authorities know? They never caught who attacked Rebecca."
He slammed his fist into his thigh. "They never even looked twice at the woman who killed Jonathan. Oh, people around here all suspected it, but no one ever questioned her closely about Rebecca's death. The woman eventually married a man who was new to the area and knew nothing about the events. He later found out about the whole nasty affair, but by then it was too late. He had already married what he originally believed to be a virtuous woman."
"Who was this young woman?"
"Henrietta Jones."
Alexis stared at him. "Henrietta Jones? Who was she?"
He nodded, his eyes burning with rage. "An insane woman who hated Rebecca and wanted Jonathan for herself."
"How is it you know so much about what happened that night? It happened over a century ago, and you obviously weren't there."
He smiled sadly. "But I was there, Alexis. I lived through every horrifying moment of it. I am Jonathan Crestwood."
Alexis's heart seemed to freeze in her chest, and then thudded painfully. She stood, her fingers white from her grip on the chair. Her lungs felt heavy, burning as she tried to breathe and couldn't. Black dots crowded her vision and dimmed the room around her. She uttered no sound as she slid to the floor.
My thoughts: My first thought is that again I'm going to pick on the dialogue here. All the information that needs to be conveyed is here, but I think it could be conveyed more...gracefully. For example I might revise this paragraph so:
Alexis sank back into the chair, her eyes never leaving his face. He gave a deep sigh, running his hands through his hair."Jonathan Crestwood did not commit suicide. He went into Rebecca's room that night as he had every night since she'd died and fell asleep on her bed, his tears soaking her pillow. When he woke later, he realized he was not alone, that someone else was there. At first his heart soared, thinking that by some miracle Rebecca had come back to him and the horror of her death had been a terrible dream. But as soon as he heard the voice his hope vanished, crushed by [insert some description of her here, perhaps, crushed by the darkness of her eyes, the cold calculating smile, something]. He knew who she was and why she'd come. She'd come to offer comfort, but not the sort he was willing to take."
Of course, this is just my opinion and we all know how subjective opinions are, but I do think this dialogue could be improved to read smoother. I might also suggest reading it out loud to hear how it flows. This always helps me catch places where the sentences stumble a little.
My final thought is that I think this is an intriguing start to what looks like a wicked cool ghost story. A big thank you to Angi for submitting this first chapter and readers, do chime in with any thoughts you might have.

Except for missed period, there are also many other signs and symptoms that indicate you're pregnant. If you're newly pregnant, you may suspect or hope that you're pregnant before you miss a period. The earliest signs of pregnancy are truly more than a missed period. They may also include tender breasts, morning sickness, fatigue, mood swings and so on.
1. Missed Period
Missing the period may be the most obvious early symptom of pregnancy, which is often what causes women to search for more details about the other pregnancy symptoms or directly take a pregnancy test to confirm. Once implantation is complete, your body will begin producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) which helps the body maintain the pregnancy and tells the ovaries to stop releasing mature eggs each month. A pregnancy test can detect hCG levels in your urine and show if you are pregnant.
2. Sore, Swollen Breasts
One common pregnancy symptom is tender, tingly breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. As early as two weeks after conception, hormonal changes make your breasts sensitive or sore. Or you may feel your breasts fuller and heavier.
3. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? Fatigue and tiredness also rank high among the early symptoms of pregnancy. During early pregnancy, rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone may result in your sleepiness. At the same time, increased blood production, lower blood sugar levels, and lower blood pressure may team up to sap your energy during pregnancy. Besides, morning sickness and having to urinate frequently during the night can add to your sluggishness as well.
4. Mood Swings
Mood swings are also one of the most common pregnancy symptoms, especially in the first trimester. The flood of hormones in your body can make you more emotional, weepy, reactive than usual. Mood swings may cause the pregnant women to get the feelings of depression, irritability, anxiety, and euphoria easily.
5. Food Aversions
If you're newly pregnant, it's common to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or a cup of coffee. Certain food cravings are also common too. This may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. And like most other signs of pregnancy, these food preferences can boil down to hormonal changes - especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, when hormonal changes are the most drastic.
6. High Basal Body Temperature
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for more than two weeks, you're probably pregnant. Your body's core temperature may increase more easily during exercise or in hot weather. During this time, you'll need to make sure to drink more water and exercise cautiously.
7. Frequent Urination
Shortly after you get pregnant, hormonal changes prompt a chain of events that raise the rate of blood flow through your kidneys. This causes your bladder to fill more quickly, so you need to urinate more often.
Frequent urination will continue or intensify as your pregnancy progresses. Your blood volume rises rapidly during pregnancy, which leads to extra fluid being processed and ending up in your bladder. The problem is compounded as your growing baby puts more pressure on your bladder.
8. Cramping and Spotting
From week 1 to week 4, everything is still happening on a cellular level. The fertilized egg creates a blastocyst (a fluid-filled group of cells) that will develop into the baby's organs and body parts.
About 10 to 14 days (week 4) after conception, the blastocyst will implant in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. This can lead to implantation bleeding, which may be mistaken for a light period.
9. Nausea, Morning Sickness
For some women, morning sickness doesn't occur until about a month or two after conception, but for others, it may start as early as two weeks. Most pregnant women with nausea feel completely relieved before coming to the second trimester, but for most others, it takes another month or so to ease up. Nausea and morning sickness usually develops around weeks 4 to 6. Not just in the morning, it can happen at any time during the day or night. Hormones may also play a role in causing this symptom.
10. Just "Feeling" Pregnant
If you just feel you're pregnant even though you don't exactly know what is causing this feeling, you probably are. You don't really know about what symptoms a pregnant woman will have since you've never been experiencing pregnancy before. Maybe you just feel different and the differences make you feel there may be some changes in you. Many women have an intuition about pregnancy signs, and their intuition is often proven right. If you feel you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test to confirm.
While there are many pregnancy signs and symptoms you can look out for, pregnancy tests and ultrasounds are the only ways to determine if you're pregnant. Once you've gotten a positive result, make an appointment with your practitioner. After that, you may need some checklists about pregnancy DOS and DON'TS. Congratulations!

weather stripping can let cold air in and impact
your home's environment. Be sure to fix or restore
any loose weather stripping around windows and
- Test
the caulk or sealant around windows and doors. Extreme weather in the Decatur
area and strong sunlight can cause gaps
in caulk or sealant around windows and doors. Consult with a
local expert to determine if
fresh caulk or sealant needs to be applied to your windows
and doors.
- Repair
or replace damaged exterior surfaces. Cracked or deteriorated wood on the
roof or near the foundation may let cold air to seep
into your home. Confer with a pro
to help improve any roof problems around your home.
- Install
storm doors. Storm doors add an extra layer of defense
from intense weather and also help reduce
air leakage. If you have storm doors, but they're not operating
correctly, it may be time for replacement doors.
- Swap
old windows and doors with energy-efficient ones. If you have older
windows or doors or they have single-pane glass, you are probably paying too
much to heat your home. Fresh doors and windows
with energy
efficient, double, or triple pane glass made with shielding
argon can help save
money all year. Windows with snap-in, between-the-glass blinds or
shades can also help insulate your home from cold
outdoor temperatures.

Speakers are thought leaders, and that means part of our job is to study and keep up with the people and events that shape the world. One of those people is the late philosopher/novelist, Ayn Rand, author of the 1957 classic Atlas Shrugged. This work became one for the most successful novels of the 20th century, and it continues to sell over 250,000 copies per year. In some circles of the self-made rich, it's known as "The book of billionaires." A few years ago it was made into a 3-part Hollywood movie by one of the billionaires I interviewed. Frankly, the movie doesn't do the book justice, but if you enjoy the book you will enjoy the movie. Watch this short video and be sure to read/listen/watch this amazing work. You may or may not agree with Ms. Rands philosophy of objectivism, but at the very least it will make you think about money, government and capitalism in a different way. And the next time someone in your audience say's, "Is that a Randian philosophy?", you'll know exactly to which he/she is referring.

CHRISTIAN PULISIC has become the USA's youngest-ever player to reach ten international goals after scoring against Chile last night.
But Chelsea have been left sweating after the ace picked up his second injury in a month, ruling him out of Borussia Dortmund's upcoming clash with Wolfsburg.
Pulisic signed for the Blues in January for a whopping £58million.
But he was immediately loaned back out to Dortmund for the remainder of the season.
However, Pulisic missed three Bundesliga games with a torn leg muscle last month.
And he was forced off the field with a thigh injury as the USA drew 1-1 with Chile on Tuesday.
It means the winger will miss Saturday's clash with Wolfsburg, and is in a race to be fit for the upcoming title showdown against Bayern Munich a week later.
Chelsea chiefs are sure to be especially concerned, as the last thing they want is for Pulisic to arrive at the club with an ongoing muscle issue in his leg.
However, it turned out to be an eventful match for Pulisic as he netted his tenth international goal, making him the youngest-ever player to reach that tally for the USA at the age of 20 years and 189 days, beating Jozy Altidore by 148 days.
Pulisic recently made headlines with an outrageous piece of skill to bamboozle Manchester United's Antonio Valencia in a clash against Ecuador.
But his involvement in the national team could hinder his pre-season in West London, with the USA likely to call him up for the Gold Cup tournament this summer.

Finally we have a bit of warm weather, and there are some promising signs by White Lion Meadow car park. This feeding by the bridge, with its classic slanted ends; a lot of prints (see the trackway, third photo down); and what I'm fairly sure is a water vole latrine, though I couldn't get very near to see any detail.
And here's our blackbird again - this must be his fourth year, I think.

Traveling Tips for Families with Toddlers
Traveling with toddlers can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be expensive. This article focuses on traveling tips to help families save money and hold on to their sanity. Most timeshare resorts are built with families and children in mind making timeshare promotions very attractive for families.
New sights and sounds can be overwhelming to a young child and vacation excitement can quickly turn into temper tantrums if you're not prepared.
Here are 10 parent-practiced tips to help make traveling with toddlers fun.
1. Choose a family-friendly destination through timeshare promotions. Skip traditional hotel searches and opt instead for a resort location that is accustomed to having kids around. These can be easily found through timeshare promotions.
2. Safety first! Always make sure your child's car seat is properly secured. Also, use a removable window shade to help block the sun.
3. Pack entertainment. "Best bets for entertaining your child in the car and hotel room include favorite books, games and toys," says Nancy Wolpert of Nickelodeon Home Entertainment. For all-inclusive entertainment, she recommends two new DVDs that feature a collection of kids' favorite TV shows. "The Nick Picks and Nick Jr. Favorites DVDs will keep them entertained for hours," Wolpert promises.
4. Plan rest stops. If you're driving, break up the monotony by stopping every couple of hours (or more frequently if necessary). Kids need to stretch out after being cooped up in a car for a while. Consider bringing along a ball to kick or throw around during these breaks.
5. Be flexible. Set realistic expectations and let your child soak up the experience at his or her own pace. You might want to limit your activities to one a day. Otherwise, you could wind up with an over-stimulated toddler.
6. Bring water and plenty of snacks. Fruit, granola bars, mini juice cartons and small boxes of cereal make for great, healthy snacks. Most timeshare resorts have full kitchens to make food preparation less difficult.
7. Bring a beloved item. A blankie or cuddly toy will help your toddler feel safe and secure. Be sure to have a replacement on hand, too. It will save you some heartache should the original get lost.
8. Start and end your day early. Kids are at their best in the morning, so plan accordingly.
9. Stick to your routine. Eating, napping and playing at the same time each day may be all your child needs to feel comfortable in a new environment.
10. Take lots of pictures. They're only young once, so enjoy every moment! – NU I hope you find these traveling Tips helpful.

In the time you've lived in Ward 6, how has it changed—for better and for worse?
Ward 6—from the time I've resided in Ward 6—has pretty much been stable. We haven't had any increases in criminal activity over the past eight years. Most of the homeowners still reside in a lot of the area. I think most of the businesses, we haven't lost too many major businesses in that area over the past right years, so in my opinion.
There are statistics that state that crime is on the decrease over the last couple of years. But in the area where I live I live over on Castle Hill Drive, we haven't had many issues with respect to crime over the years. But I think the area is pretty stable, but there is room for growth.
What's a vote the city council has taken in recent years that significantly affected Ward 6? Did you agree or disagree with the vote of the council member at the time? Why?
I think one of the votes that has significantly affected Ward 6 is the vote that involved the water-rate hike. Although we didn't have a vote, I think it was very important to know our councilperson's (Tony Yarber's) position on the water increase at that (time). … But it was a very important vote during that time and it has significantly not only impacted residents of Ward 6, but residents across the city. And I think it was important for the people in the area to just know the councilperson's position on it and why he would have said yea or nay.
What is currently the most significant issue in front of the council with respect to Ward 6?
Stabilizing south Jackson is, in my opinion, one of the most important issues. South Jackson is primarily residential although there are existing businesses who have been loyal to the area. A lot of businesses have remained, so continuing to stabilize Ward 6. Making sure that the unkept properties are cut—if (there) are any that need to be demolished that they are destroyed, making sure the neighborhood associations are active and that the crime watch associations area active and people are engaged. And making sure we stabilize Ward 6 and try to maintain the existing businesses that already exist there and, when there is opportunity create ordinances that are business-friendly, to attract new business in the area.
If you obtain the position, what would be your main priorities during your first few weeks on Council?
During the first few weeks of my tenure as Ward 6 councilman, it is very important that we organize. We organize the neighborhood associations. We organize the neighborhood watch associations.
It's very important that I create a relationship with all of the existing businesses that are in the ward. Because what's important to me and what's important to the residents in Ward 6 is that we maintain and improve where we are. There are some disappointments in Ward 6, and there are some residents that are happy with some of the things that have occurred over the past few years.
So, I'm all in favor for strong, and I really mean strong, law enforcement presence in Ward 6. I'm in favor of ordinances that are business friendly. So, it is very important during those first few weeks and first few months that we organize in South Jackson because this seat isn't about Robert Amos or any other candidate, it's about the people in Ward 6.
The only way that a person would realize that they have to be in touch with Ward 6 itself, so we would organize, reorganize, make sure crime watch initiatives are intact, make sure the neighborhood watch associations are intact.
Ward 6 is compromised of many different areas. We can't just have one meeting for the whole ward. We have to have several meetings that address different issues from different issues that are located in Ward 6, so I would have to meet to organize and find out the needs of those residents and businesses in the area. After finding the needs and concerns of the residents and businesses in the areas, we would have to act on it. We would have to go to City Hall and prioritize funding, prioritize other measures to improve Ward 6.
When Mayor Tony Yarber served in the Ward 6 seat, he talked how economic development was one of the greatest challenges for the area since it is mostly residential. What are your plans in regard to economic development for the area?
I think the most important aspect for economic development in the area will be to maintain the existing businesses that are already here. It's a challenge, and I agree with our former councilperson but it's not an excuse not to try to attract any new businesses. You don't want to lose the existing businesses that are already there, but we got to continue to look to create more incentive and more ordinances that may be business friendly, and we have to do a better job of continually decreasing the crime in the area.
Because as being a business owner, that is one of the major issues about will I succeed in the area or will I be safe in the area. So we definitely have to continue to decrease the numbers. I understand crime is on the decrease in Ward 6, but we got to continue to decrease the crime that is happening in Ward 6. With doing that and stabilizing the neighborhood and cleaning up the neighborhoods and making it look more presentable, I think it might attract more businesses in the area.

Welcome to Topas Ecolodge
Certified a "Unique Lodge of the World" by National Geographic
Topas Ecolodge is a small lodge situated on a beautiful hilltop deep in the mountains of Hoang Lien National Park only 45 min outside Sapa town in North Vietnam.
We have 33 mountain bungalows all built as rustic chalet-style single bedroom houses from local white granite.
Our bungalows are designed in a relaxed style, each offering a private balcony from which you can enjoy magnificent views of towering peaks and endless valleys dotted with ethnic minority villages. The lodge makes a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area by foot or bike or simply relaxing far away from the busy urban areas.
About Topas Ecolodge
An "off the beaten track" experience in Sapa Valley

Topas Riverside Lodge
Our sister lodge in Nam Cang village - the remote heart of Sapa
Red Dao Minority
Meet the ethnic minority communities that inhabit the region and experience their unique culture and lifestyle
A rustic - wifi free - experience
Due to our guest's desire for privacy and search for peace and quiet, we do not allow day visitor access
Topas Ecolodge is not to everyone's taste and it is important to us that guests understand the ways in which we differ from standard hotels before making a booking.
We are situated 18 km outside Sapa town and the bus journey takes approximately 45 minutes. We call it an "adventurous bus ride" mainly because the road condition is fairly poor in places, you'll be passing through ethnic minority communities in the area and you'll probably encounter a few buffalos, cows, goats or horses along the way.
We call ourselves a 'lodge' because we lack some of the basic features and services of a standard hotel. Our bungalows have no TV and no internet connection, enabling guests to completely escape from everyday life and immerse themselves with nature. For tranquil relaxation, we offer an infinity pool complete with breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys and a spa specializing in traditional Red Dao herbal baths.
Since we are committed to community development, our employees are friendly young people from the local minority tribes with varying degrees of English proficiency. We ask guests to be patient and be assured that there is always someone on site able to help with any language barriers.
Due to our mountain location, sometimes the weather is clear and sometimes it is cloudy, and after a heavy rainfall it can be very muddy. At times we experience power cuts and during the rice planting season we have some struggles with our water supply.
However, we have a very unusual location with a spectacular view and lots of unique trekking and mountain biking trails in our backyard. We invite people with an open mind and adventurous spirit to experience Vietnam in a different way and to escape the busy city life for a peaceful and authentic mountain getaway.
Explorer Packages
Guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to exploring the diverse beauty of Sapa, enjoy the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere of the mountains, the villages and the unique and colorful ethnic minority groups living around Topas Ecolodge and Topas Riverside Lodge.
Organic supply chain
We care about both the environment and local community, ensuring they benefit from our business.

**For further action you can take, read Update #1 below.
The 2018 midterm election voting process in Iowa has revealed an issue with the absentee ballot voting process the vast majority of voters were not aware of. The Iowa House District 55 race between Kayla Koether (D) and Mike Bergen (R) came down to a margin of 9 votes out of nearly 14,000 ballots counted. When additional absentee ballots were counted by November 13 however, the Winneshiek County Auditor had declared more than 30 absentee ballots invalid because the envelopes failed to display a stamp-canceling postmark from the U.S. Postal Service.
According to Iowa law, mail-in absentee ballots are required to have a stamp-cancelling postmark the day before Election Day. Due to budget cuts, however, USPS no longer postmarks every individual piece of mail.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Fayette County (also in House District 55), the county auditor received 12 absentee ballots without postmarks but "mistakenly" counted them. According to the Secretary of State, these ballots cannot be uncounted.
Hence, more than 30 voters have had their most sacred democratic right infringed upon through no fault of their own. (You can hear some of their stories here and you can watch Kayla briefly discuss this issue here.)
While these 30+ ballots don't have stamp-cancelling postmarks, they DO include a printed USPS Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) which verifies when the ballots were mailed. After the Kayla for Iowa campaign filed suit to have these votes counted, Iowa District Court Judge Scott Beattie ruled on Dec. 3rd that if the 33 ballots have an Intelligent Mail Barcode in lieu of a postmark (which can be scanned), the country auditor must work with USPS officials to determine the date of arrival for those absentee ballots in order to determine if they are valid. He did not grant the candidate's second request to require the counting of those ballots but said he would "hold a separate hearing after the 33 ballots have been analyzed by the Post Office, determining "if further relief is warranted"" according to this news story. The story also has national coverage in U.S. News and World Report.
This petition is asking the Iowa House of Representatives to honor the voting rights of these individuals and allow their vote to be counted. They should take up this issue as soon as they convene in January, 2019.
By signing, you accept Care2's Terms of Service.
You can unsub at any time here.

Matt and I are undertaking a challenge this month to quit using our credit and debit cards cold turkey.
A lot of financial advice people suggest using only cash, and when we first started budgeting we tried doing cash only in separate envelopes or jars for different categories. It was too complicated to keep track of though, and too easy to end up stuck somewhere without the cash we needed. As we've tweaked our approach to budgeting over the last few years, I think we've found a pretty good middle ground in using plastic for convenience but not to overspend.
So why mess with the system that works for us? The thing is, over the last few months we have noticed that the "convenience" of our cards is making it just a little too easy to spend outside of our planning, and it's harder to keep track of what's what (should buying lunch come from the grocery budget or allowance?). It just adds up, and we gulp at the bill and pay it off (because we're still spending less than we make!), but it means our student debt continues to hang over us, and honestly there are other things we'd like to do with the money anyways. Hopefully a month without plastic will help us refocus on our financial goals and recognize areas where we are succeeding or could do better.
How will this month of living on cash not end up a giant failure like past times? Well, there are no guarantees, but a couple factors are different that give me hope.
A really big motivating factor is that I only have three more months of work before taking maternity leave (!!!) and we want to make sure our financial ducks are in a row before then. Maybe this month will suck, but worst case scenario we'll meet our goals for debt and savings, we'll eat some beans and rice at the end of the month, and we'll learn whatever we can from why it sucks. Or maybe it won't be so bad 🙂
I have all kinds of faith in you and Matt so I'm sure you will be able to do it.
Thanks! I'm excited to at least try 🙂
Good for you two! I'm excited to hear how it goes. Plastic is sometimes just too convenient…
[…] are more than half way through the month now, so I thought I'd check in with how our month-long break from plastic is […]

There's been a flurry of activity on our street lately. So far:
- us: moved in last December, had a new roof put on
- people across the street: moved in a few months ago, currently ripping down aluminum siding
- Mike and Kirstin (two houses down across the street): moved in a few weeks ago, already got a new roof, getting new siding
- people three houses down across the street: moved in a few months ago, painted the wood siding, getting dormers and a new roof
- house down the block on our side (don't know who bought it): sold a few weeks ago, removed the screening from the porch, getting a new roof and removing the (asbestos?) siding

Dear LukPac.org readers, I have a game for you. Well, it's probably not that much fun, so let's call it a challenge. I've discovered that I have a way of saying *exactly* the same thing multiple times. It could be within the context of an IM conversation, message board postings, or even things I wrote in high school. Take the following example.
Recently I've become reacquainted with a friend of mine from high school/college. Compare what I wrote to her in an e-mail the other day:
"Why am I having memories of Band I with Mr. Lanning? :)"
With what I wrote on her senior picture, May 1997:
"These last 4 years have been fun. I still remember band with Mr. Lanning! Was that fun or what. :)"
Right down to the damn smiley face.
So, yes, I implore you, dear readers, to find such highly amusing cases of déjà vu here on LukPac.org. Or, just have another beer. I know you will.
On second thought, have the beer, but help me out. "Déjà vu" doesn't seem to fit here. Yet I can't think of a better term. Dear readers, what would you label this phenomena? Other than "strange"?

In May 2002 I officially graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a BS in computer science. In 1997 (man that seems like a long time ago) I graduated from Washington Park HS. Yes, I know, that site isn't very impressive, and no, I haven't touched it for several years.
One of the best experiences I have ever had was on a trip called Western Field Studies. This is a 33 day adventure throughout the western United States. Students travel on a school bus to national parks, monuments, forests, and places of historical interest and camp out (in tents or under the stars). I was a part of trip 25, which took place in the summer of 1996. A first for WFS was we took along a laptop computer and kept up a web site. That link will take you to the 1996 site, where there is a link to the current site.

70 parks evaluated
Accessibility compliance reports helped Prince William County prioritize barrier removal plans for achieving program accessibility in its Parks and Recreation system.
Prince William County, Virginia
Scope of Services
Program Accessibility Review
Program Accessibility Review
LCM conducted ADA surveys and compiled an ADA Title II program accessibility compliance report of existing facilities in the County's recreational system. Facilities evaluated ranged from golf courses and splash-down pools to nature trails and picnic pavilions.
To evaluate program accessibility and verify at least one of each type is compliant, LCM accessed a web-based interactive map of the park system and detailed information about system wide programs and services. Our matrix compared programs, services, amenities, and seasonal offerings at each location, enabling us to assess them for accessibility barriers and recommend facilities modifications based on each park's program significance.

Notre-Dame cathedral: Firefighters tackle blaze in Paris – BBC News
A fire has broken out at the famous Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris and has spread rapidly across the building.
The cause is not yet clear, but officials say that it could be linked to renovation work.
A major operation to tackle the blaze is under way at the 850-year-old Gothic building, but the cathedral's spire and roof have collapsed.
Last year, the Catholic Church in France appealed for funds to save the building, which was crumbling.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who is on his way to the scene, said his thoughts were with "all Catholics and all French people."

What to Get for Your Large Dog Breeds
If you really love dogs, you may want to go and get one and if you are someone who really loves those big dog breeds, you should really get one of them as they are really great to have indeed. If you really want to give your large dog breeds a good and a happy life, you should really look for those dog products that you will need for them. If you keep on looking, you will find so many wonderful dog products that you can go and get for your large breed so start looking for these things. There are so many good dog products out there that you can get for your dogs so you should really start going dog shopping to get things for your dogs. We are now going to share with you some really good dog products out there that you can get for your large dog breed.
When it comes to buying products for your large dog breed, you should always make sure that you are getting the right amount of it to give to the size of your dog. There are some people who do not look at the dewormer dosage that they are giving to their dogs and this can be very bad as if you have a large breed and you give dewormer of a smaller dog breed, this will not work and this will not kill the worms in your dog. You should always make sure that the dewormer that you get is good enough to kill those worms in your large breed of a dog. If you are not sure which dog dewormer you should go and get, you should ask your vet about which is a good brand and which you should use for your dog to get rid of the worms in their body.
There are many other really great dog products out there and one other dog product that we will tell you about is the dog joint supplement. Large breed dogs are known to have joint problems so if you want to avoid these things from happening to your dog, you should really start looking for dog joint supplements for them. There are so many places where you can look up dog product reviews to see which products are good to give to your dogs. You can also ask your vet if they have any good dog joint supplements that they can recommend to you and when they recommend these dog joint supplements, you can then go and look for it at your pet stores or at the vet. Once you have found one dog join supplement that has a lot of really good reviews, you should not hesitate to go and get that for your dog.

River Arun Paddle Boarding Trip.
From Littlehampton to The Black Rabbit Pub (& Back)
Total Distance: 14 Miles Approx
The Arun is a river in the county of West Sussex and is the 2nd fastest flowing river in England. The river is tidal as far inland as Pallingham Quay, 25.5 miles inland from the sea at Littlehampton.
We start this trip from Littlehampton at a car park right on the rivers edge by the Look and Sea Visitors Centre. The car park here is purpose made for people looking to gain access to the slip ramp directly into the river and / or out to sea.
Cost for the car park is around £7.00 for the entire day, but be aware that it fills up quickly so plan your timing carefully especially if the weather is good.
Postcode for the car park is BN17 5AW and road name is Surrey Street.
Expected Level Of Participants: 7 Days Paddling Experience & Above Only
The river has currents running between 4-6 knots and can be quite volatile in places with turbulent swirling water as well as having boat traffic to deal with.
Whilst it is a fun and scenic place it isn't a place we can consider taking complete beginners and therefore set the level for this trip at intermediates & above only with compulsory wearing of buoyancy aids, helmets and leashes for participants.
As far as the route goes we simply follow the river inland for 7 miles passing Arundel village and castle to the Black Rabbit Pub (approx 1.5 to 2 hours paddling) where we can tie up our boards, rest and have something to eat before the tide starts to turn and we then start paddling back to our start point in Littlehampton.
Water, towel, hat, sun cream, sun glasses plus a wet suit if you have one and shoes you don't mind getting wet (if you don't have a wetsuit we can hire you one) plus money for drinks / food at the turn around point (The pub)
Rigid: Guaranteed full refund if cancelling 5 days prior.
You will be entitled to a full refund under the following circumstances:
If the conditions on the day aren't ideal but the activity still takes place, you will not be eligible for a refund.

Military on a cold January morning. All three horses were watching the horses in the front paddock get fed twice a day, while they went without. The boards of their paddock where eaten. They had no shelter and no water. The rainrot all three horses had was unimagineable.
Please let us remember Military Miss only 4 years old. She was in the field with Terms of Endearment and Harmony Queen. The owner said she was down because she needed calicium. I don't think so.
All of TEAR's horses are adopted with a trial period. Depending on each horses circumstances trial periods range from 30 - 60 days. If at the end of the trial period for any reason the adopted horse is not working out the adoption fee is refunded. It is important that both parties are relaxed and happy with the new partnership. We understand that sometimes things just dont work out. TEAR horses may not be leased, sold, or bred. If you have any questions about adoption or fostering, please email email@example.com Visits to the farm are by appointment only.
Zoie - Just shy of 17h, OTTB, 14 year old mare. Under saddled evaluation is pending. She has been tacked up and stood untied like a champ. She did not move a foot or blink an eye. She offered no buck after not being worked for a very long time. She was ridden by previous owner. She is a big bodied girl with the cutest face! Sweet girl that whinnies a girly girl whinny when she sees you. Beautiful mover. See video below, this was her first time wearing a saddle in a very long time!
Mister P - came to us as a neglect case. He is in his early 20's. Now fat and happy, he is ready to go on to find a person of his own for his remaining years. He has not been treated kindly in the past. He needs someone that he can trust and show him that not all hands cause pain. He is sound and was said to have done dressage, trails, and barrels in the past. He is a super beautiful mover.
Lola's Cat aka KitKat 15 year old OTTB, 16.2 hands. See videos of this beautiful boy below.
We constantly hear of horses in need of homes but unfortunately cannot take them all in because of space limitations and funding. If you are looking for a horse or interested in fostering please contact us. There are a lot of great horses out there in need!

An Impressive Trip Through the 90's3 min read
Jonah Hill makes an impressive directorial debut with Mid90s from A24 Pictures. Stevie (Sunny Suljic) is a thirteen-year-old living a life in Los Angles with his bullying older brother Ian (Lucas Hedges), and a hardworking single mom Dabney (Katherine Waterson). It is apparent that Stevie has no friends, nor does he have his own identity. When the film starts out, Stevie is in awe of his older brother's room, in particular Ian's impressive Hip Hop CD collection. Instead of hanging out with Stevie or teaching him about Hip Hop, Ian spends his days physically bullying Stevie.
One day Stevie meets and makes friends with a skater named Ruben (Gio Gallcia) who decides to introduce Stevie to the rest of his skate crew, Ray (Na-kel Smith), Fuckshit (Olan Prenatt) and Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin). Having friends for the first time in his life, Stevie begins to skateboard and starts a downward spiral of drugs, drinking and reckless behavior. As the summer goes on, Stevie will learn the consequences of hanging out with a bad crowd.
The first thing that caught my eye inmid90s was director Jonah Hill's decision to shoot the film on 16mm film. The cinematic vibe of an educational low budget film is what I felt watching Mid90s. Jonah Hill's script and his decision to use mostly unknowns as Stevie's friends was also a highlight. The profane dialogue spoken by the young actors actually comes across as natural as well.
In the role of Stevie, Sunny Sulljic finally gets a chance to display his youthful acting chops. In his previous work, Suljic never really stood out to me as an actor, and came across as bratty; however, with Mid90s he earns my respect. Lucas Hedges is another stand out as Ian, the older brother, who cannot express his emotions with his younger sibling. Finally, in the role of Ray, Na-kel Smith makes an impressive debut. Serving as an unofficial mentor to Stevie, there is a moment between Ray & Stevie that is stunning to watch. I hope that mid90s serves as an opening for more acting roles for Na-kel Smith.
In addition to some classic nineties tunes, the score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is another highlight. The duo, who have not composed a film together since 2011, easily capture the confusing feelings of youth and discovery quite well.
I did have one issue with Mid90s, which involves Stevie and his first sexual experience with an older teenage girl. It may have been my parental instincts as a dad kicking in, but watching the scene was uncomfortable as the actress is clearly older than Sunny Suljic. Jonah Hill's script could have just as well featured a kiss on the check between the two or a hug and the effect might not have raised an eyebrow.
While I was never into the skateboarding craze in my middle school days, I always thought the kids who were in a skating clique were a bit on the weird side. As I got older though, I came to the realization that other than music tastes, a lot of these kids were just like me, trying to find their place. Mid90s is not only an impressive debut from Jonah Hill, but also a reminder of just how tough it is to be a kid.

Our education and awareness focus
People in the community often find it difficult to understand brain injury because the effects are so varied and are not easy to describe.
The Brain Injury Association of Tasmania is committed to:
- Promoting brain injury prevention and safe behaviour;
- Raising awareness of the impact of brain injury on the lives of individuals, families and the broader community, and the healthcare questions it raises; and
- Creating a Tasmanian community that is inclusive of people with brain injury – through brain injury education and understanding.
Brain Injury Education Programs for Young People
A brain injury can happen to anyone, anywhere, any time! As there is no 'cure' for brain injury, the emphasis must be on prevention.
Over 40% of people who sustain a brain injury each year are young people aged between 15 and 24 years old. BIAT delivers two brain injury education programs for young people in Tasmania, including:
Heads Up 2 Brain Injury (HU2BI)
An interactive prevention program for secondary school students that aims to reduce the risk of them sustaining a brain injury.
Custody For Life (CFL)
More information about BIAT's Custody For Life program will be available soon.
