For many PH patients, travel is an important part of their professional and personal lives. Being diagnosed with PH is no reason to think that your traveling days are over! Though additional planning is required, there are a wide variety of resources available today to help you through the extra steps of traveling with PH.
Before deciding to plan a trip, you'll want to consider the effects of altitude and weather on your body. Read our Climate and PH section to learn what to keep in mind.
Planning well ahead of travel ensures that your trip is as safe and enjoyable as possible. Review your travel plans with your doctor as early as you can. Be sure to discuss the need for supplemental oxygen, the amount of medications and medical supplies you should pack and the altitude during travel and at your travel destination.
Pulmonary Hypertension: A Patient's Survival Guide is a great resource for additional travel tips and anecdotes from PH patients.
Read the Scientific Leadership Council's Consensus Statement on Traveling with PH to find out more about traveling with oxygen, preventing blood clots in the legs and diet considerations.
Follow the same general preparations as with travel by air. Most cruise lines require at least four weeks' notice, but will allow patients to provide their own oxygen source (either an oxygen concentrator or a portable system). Refills of portable systems during the cruise should be pre-arranged at ports of call.
Follow the same preparations as above. Railroads allow passengers to bring portable oxygen containers or oxygen concentrators. If using a concentrator, a 12-hour battery back-up is required.
Remember to stand up and walk at least once every two hours.
In addition to the above preparations, you should determine in advance if there are any laws against bringing medical supplies into your destination country, or if special documents are needed to enter the country with medications.

Flying with oxygen presents unique challenges, but with some advanced planning and input of a physician many PH patients are able to make air travel part of a full and rewarding life. New guidelines by the FAA on portable oxygen concentrators are helping to make this possible.
If you are considering traveling by air with oxygen, the following information may be helpful.

Copper peptides are naturally occurring complexes that have been used for a variety of purposes in skin and hair care products since the 1990s. The complexes are a combination of the element copper and three amino acids. In the human body, copper peptides are found in trace amounts in blood plasma, saliva and urine. When used in skin care products, copper peptides can be made in a laboratory setting by combining a solution that contains copper with a substance that is similar to a protein powder.
Investigations into the benefits of copper peptides began in 1973 when biochemist Loren Pickart isolated the complexes from plasma samples. Pickart began searching for copper peptides when he discovered that liver cells obtained from people over the age of 60 could be revitalized by placing them in blood samples sourced from younger people. His goal was to determine precisely what was in the blood that caused this incredible rejuvenation of the cells, and when he identified that substance, copper peptides had been officially discovered.
The research begun by Pickart continued for decades and the results of his work have been reviewed, duplicated and confirmed by numerous independent scientists and physicians. In 1997, the first skin care products that contain copper peptides were released for sale and now, numerous brands offer formulas that are enriched with the complexes.
Copper peptides have been clinically shown to offer a wide variety of benefits for the skin and hair. Often, the complexes are used in skin care lotions, creams and serums designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just as copper peptides had the ability to regenerate liver cells in Pickart's study, the ingredient can also rejuvenate skin cells in aging tissue, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. Levels of these structural proteins naturally decrease with age, and by increasing the amount available in the tissue, the skin can regain elasticity and strength. This makes many signs of aging less noticeable and slows down the aging process.
The anti-aging benefits of copper peptides are also due to their ability to promote the production of glycosaminoglycans like hyaluronic acid. These substances are found in the connective tissue and fluids in the human body and become depleted with age. The glycosaminoglycans are vital for helping the skin tissue remain plump and supple, and by supplementing their levels, the tissue can fill out and fine lines and wrinkles become less noticeable. Hyaluronic acid also helps the skin retain moisture, making copper peptides beneficial ingredients for products intended to treat dry skin.
Clinical research has established that copper peptides are antioxidants, nutrients that counteract the oxidizing effects of environmental particles called free radicals. Your skin is exposed to free radicals on a daily basis, and over time, the oxidation that they cause can result in cellular damage, which leads to the development of signs of aging. Because copper peptides neutralize free radicals, they can help prevent expression lines and wrinkles from developing prematurely.
In addition to their use in anti-aging skin care products, copper peptides are often found in shampoos and treatments designed to combat hair loss. Studies show that copper peptides have a positive effect on the hair follicles and can stimulate regrowth in areas of thinning and baldness. Its effects are similar to that of the medication minoxidil, which has been used for hair loss treatment for decades. Copper peptides are also capable of reducing the amount of hair loss that occurs due to chemotherapy treatments for cancer for some people.
Due to their natural presence in the human body, copper peptides are not known to cause side effects;however, some products that contain copper peptides could cause irritation and redness in people with sensitive skin due to other ingredients in their formulas.
Research into the benefits of copper peptides continues to this day. The ingredient has been shown in some studies to have the potential to absorb ultraviolet rays from the sun, to stimulate fingernail growth and to provide other benefits to the skin, hair and nails. The potential for the inclusion of copper peptides in new types of skin care products is impressive, and more and more top skin care brands are finding ways to incorporate these powerful natural complexes in their formulas each year.

Children's Area and Learning Resource Centre
Children, teachers, families and adults can participate in innovative and enjoyable learning opportunities that explore the collection and temporary exhibitions in the Gallery's children's area and Learning Resource Centre. To date, the collection has been explored by children aged three to adults in their eighties during successful and popular programmes. This new programmed, multi-purpose space allows for additional experimentation.
For details of upcoming art workshops for children please go to http://www.hughlane.ie/childrens-workshops/forthcoming or view the Gallery's Programme of Events pdf.
Please note:
Parents must stay with their children for the 3-6 year old workshops.
Pre-Booking of Children's Art workshops: People are welcome to contact the Gallery Reception desk to pre-book places on the Saturday children's art classes. However, people will need to pay for the workshop and collect their workshop ticket between 10.00am and 2.30pm on the day of the workshop. After 2.30pm it will no longer be possible to hold places for people who have pre-booked by telephone and places may be allocated elsewhere if there is extra demand.
If someone has pre-paid in advance for their place, their ticket/s will be held for them but they will need to arrive in advance of the workshop start time to collect their ticket/s.
Workshop Tickets are only given out on the day of the Saturday art workshop. There are limited numbers for each workshop.
Late Comers: It will not always be possible to admit late comers to an art workshop after the workshop has started, even if they have pre-booked and pre-paid as this is disruptive and places may have been fully allocated.

NuForce NE600X Black In-ear Headphones
" I've been out of the loop for a while when it comes to budget IEMs. Back in the day, the low priced options were simply not very good.

Video: How to Choose the Best Plants for Your Landscape
Information Text:
Bill Weber, The Stumper Landscaping: "The single biggest thing that we come across with people is that people will see a wonderful plant or variety of plant at one of the local home centers or nurseries, and they say I want that in my yard. And they'll come home, and without the proper research, they will put a shade plant in a sun spot. It's gone in a day or two, or they'll put a sun plant in a shade spot, and it doesn't survive. You need to put a shady plant in a shady area and then you have to take into consideration, how much shade is there, by percentages. You can actually draw lines on the lawn. Come out and set things on the lawn to determine how much is shade and how much is sun. Trees offer shade in the summer and if they are deciduous, they lose all their leaves, now they are full sun. In the winter, are the plants going to survive? That is something else that needs to be taken into consideration. It's important for people to know that there's a variety of plants that will suffice for sun or for shade."

One of the more difficult issues facing you will be making sure you compare apples 'n apples while understanding the differences between apples 'n oranges.
Some things common to all:
How far from your (water) meter pit to the home?
Do you know what sort of water pressure you have?
Those two questions sortta drive the rest. How many sprinklers you have is a piece of the puzzle but it is lower on the issues list than how much water pressure and gallons per minute of flow (gpm) you have. Knowing the water pressure and gpm coming to the house is important because it is the info divided by the flow rate of the heads to tell you how many you can run at a time.
That, plus the number of heads it takes to cover your yard will let them decide on how many zones to cut the yard into (each zone is X number of heads that run at the same time).
Will the different estimates be for systems that are all parts from a single manufaturer or will it be a collection of brands? Some will tell you that the parts (controller, back-flow, heads and even specific heads) are better from different manufacturers while others will tell you that all from a single manufacturer will give you an optimized system.
And, are the contractors equally certified? Not only education and experience but certifications from the various manufacturers who's parts they want to use. And, will their installations be the same? Will they open trenches all around your yard and be a week getting the stuff layed, connected and back-filled? Or, will they pull the flexible pipe and be in 'n out in one day with water flowing to cover their intrussion before they leave that day?
Will your system need to be blown out with pressurized air at the end of the season to avoid winter freeze and bursts or will it drain automagically?
I know, I took your simple question and made it hard.
When I bought my system about 9 years ago, I had a variety of estimates and the differences sortta fell into the mess I listed above. The low estimate was a person who seemed to be from the "get it in the ground and fix it later" school.
The highest estimate was from someone who seemed more concerned about my yard and the final result than I was. The low person was using parts 'n pieces from a variety of manufacturers. The high person was certified by the company that made all the parts he was wanting to use and he carried a fairly high rating from them for his past performance.. He would vary for me if I wanted but he had sound reasons from the controller to each of the heads as to why he preferred his "brand".
It doesn't look like you are a member of Angie's List. Given the size of the investment you are looking at, this might be a great time to join and see how others in your community have rated the contractors you are considering or if there is one you should add to your list.
My yard is between 12 and 15,000 square feet less the house, deck, two mini-barns and it is interrupted with a number of blocking (blocks the stream of water) evergreens and planting beds.
The low estimate I had was about $2,500 and would take three days to put in from the time they began to trench. I don't recall how many heads he wanted to put in but if it was off, he'd be able to put another anyplace and tie it to the nearest zone to give me good coverage. Uh, this was the get it in the ground 'n adjust later person.
The high estimate I had was around $4,500. This proposal was for seven active zones each having 5 to 7 heads. There was enough capacity (extra zone controllers and space within the system controller) built in to add drip irrigation at a later date for the planting beds without having to replace anything. He drew the entire yard and gave me a copy with the heads marked showing the "throw" of each and the overlap he built in to avoid any missed areas. And, they wanted to arrive in the morning and leave that evening with the system watering to cover their tracks throughout the yard. One day and they would not leave until it was working as advertised!
I took the high estimate. I have a neighbor who bought from the other folks. Both of us are happy. He is really happy because each time he calls his company for adjustments or corrections (yep, they got it in the ground and are still putzing with it) they are out within the week, they are really easy to do business with and their service calls' costs haven't gone up a whole bunch.
Sorry, you can't look at the price and divide by X number of heads and have a fair comparison.
1) IF you are talking the root crown - the portion where it is not one solid truck or "bole", but still a solid or near-solid mass of roots coming off the base of the trunk, then that has to come out on way or another. Typically, once you get beyond about a 3 foot circle then you are in the radial portion of the roots where they spread out laterally, and are a foot or more apart, and new roots can grow in that area fro the new tree OK. Of course, be prepared to have to trim some volunteers so the old tree can't come back, and be sure to fertilize the new tree per recommendations because the old roots will still be trying to extract water and food from the soil to support the tree that they do not yet realize is gone. Do NOT put stump killer or poison in the old tree - will kill new one too.
2) The proper commercial way to do this is to have the entire root crown and larger roots removed with a stump grinder - looks like this -
You need a tree service that can grind down at least two feet below ground level and remove the root crown and larger root segments. If you hve large roots running laterally quite a ways, he can grind them up too - ditto to "trippers" sticking up above ground. Just be sure to have it clear (spray painted) upfront how far he is going for what he quoted - typically about $150 for tree up to 1-2 feet in diameter, up to $500 for a massive sycamore or walnut or cottonwood or redwood with 6 foot diameter crown. While you can rent stump grinders at tooll rental places, I REALLY do not recommend it - the rental ones you can afford to rent for one use are pretty light duty, and they can chew a person up in no time flat if you lose control when it snags in the wood or hits a rock.
3) Another way is to go out to where the massive roots taper off to something you can reasonable cut - say 4-6 inches in diameter, and cut them all in a circle around the stump, then with a come-along or CAREFULLY (not more than a few hundred pounds) with a vehicle with a trailer hitch, put a steady pull on a good rope or strap or chain in a shallow notch cut around the top of the stump (so it does not pop off easy), then while it is being rotated up out of the ground walk around and cut any root you see still attached or trying to lift out of the ground. This works much better if the stump is left about 4-6 feet high so you get some real leverage on it with the pull, but if already cut down short run chain or strap over the top of it and around a large root on the far side of the stump. I use a Sawzall with foot long coarse tooth wood cutting blade for this - goes through roots really fast, and blade is only $1 or so apiece so ruining one or two hitting rocks is no big thing, and also reaches in under the stump better and safer than an axe. I helped a neighbor take out a back yard full of birches this way - took us about half a day to remove about 15 trees with about 6 foot diameter circle of crown and roots, leaving holes about 1-2 feet deep where each tree was. Remember this - whichever way you use to take it out, you will need maybe 1-5 wheelbarrow loads of good growth medium to replace the divot.
4) Cheaper route - cut off flush with ground level (or leave some stickup as a planter or stool or feeder base or whatever), and plant new tree at least 4 feet away from old crown, in a spot between the old roots.

Hand Painted Limited Edition Cels - click here to find out more.
Hand-painted limited editions recreate classic moments from great cartoons, using the same materials and techniques as were used in making the originals. Some limited editions are exact reproductions of frames from the films they represent, while others, such as Chuck Jones' limited editions, are based on contemporary interpretations of great characters and scenes.
In either case, the animator's drawing is transferred onto acetate cels, then each is meticulously hand-painted by studio artists. Each piece is hand-numbered in small edition sizes of between 100 and 750. In some cases the finished cels are then signed by the animator.
As the great majority of original cels from the 1940's, 50's and 60's are no longer in existence, limited edition cels allow collectors an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy some of the greatest moments in the history of animation.
What is Conservation Glass?
Standard glass is suitable for most artwork in most homes. As ambient (indirect) sunlight and artificial light do not present a fading risk, most people do not require special UV filtering glass.
If you have a lot of direct sunlight in your home, you may want to upgrade your artwork purchase to conservation glass. Conservation glass filters out 97% of harmful UV rays and will prevent fading of signatures and artwork, as well as yellowing of paper.
The best thing to do is avoid hanging any art or photographs in direct sunlight. If you can't avoid direct sunlight, conservation glass is well worth the additional cost.

In the U.S., PH patients, families and professionals have many resources for support, information, education and awareness-raising. Yet PH strikes patients all around the globe. In some countries, smaller patient populations and fewer resources for them mean patients may be struggling to understand and cope with their illness alone.
Over the past three years, PHA's Tom Lantos Innovation in Community Service Awards have helped fill this gap. The program, funded by Gilead Sciences, has granted small amounts of money to PH activists both inside and outside the U.S. to better organize, educate and support PH patients.
While most grants continue to be awarded to applicants in the U.S., grants to international applicants in 2012 were awarded in countries where leaders in PH will plan meetings for PH patients and professionals, planting the seeds of a more supportive and informed community.
Rehabilitation specialist Abraham Babu of India is using his grant to develop a manual about the importance of physical activity and exercise for PH patients. The manual will offer illustrations and instructions on specific exercises including a warm up, an aerobic training program and a cool down. Sections of the manual will also cover symptoms, medical tests, treatments, nutrition, tasks to do at home such as daily weight checks, and the importance of relaxation and connections with family and friends. The manual will be translated into various regional languages and will be a resource at home for patients who must travel long distances to PH care centers. It will be distributed to patients through PH physicians and rehabilitation specialists in India.

" Update: Reduced design rating due to ever-tangling cable. The cable is MADE with some type of built-in twisting/tangling design flaw.

Due to this, it's become unusable. I've owned the original Bose IEs and now bought these..." --xx0xx

Although a genius, Courbet was certainly a magnet for trouble. No other artist in nineteenth-century France so often found himself surrounded by controversy, apart from Edouard Manet – although Manet extricated himself, while Courbet seemed constantly enmeshed in scandal and uproar. But he was also firmly connected to the best artists working in the middle decades of the century, from Corot to Whistler, and Cézanne to Monet – he was even the witness at Monet's wedding in 1870. Courbet remains the most radical painter of his time, while his work marks the rupture from Romanticism via Realism that produced modern art.
A deep attachment to his native region inspired Courbet throughout his life, and is demonstrated in his art. He knew the farms near Ornans, the town and its people, and gloried in the rugged beauty of the Jura mountains in his eastern province of Franche-Comté. The rivers of the Jura, the Loue and the Lison, their limestone cliffs, grottoes, waterfalls and vegetation, provided a never-ending subject for the artist.
In Paris, Courbet played the coarse peasant new to the city, but there was a serious purpose in his stout defence of regions against the centre. Throughout the century the French state tried to centralise all power to the capital and government institutions, artistically as well as politically, and Courbet was a rebel by conviction.
Most of his landscapes of the 1860s – made after the scandals of the Salon and before the catastrophic defeat of the Paris Commune, his imprisonment, and self-exile – concentrate on a limited, almost claustrophobic vocabulary of motifs. As well as enclosed forest scenes with deer and views of hunting, there are Courbet's Source paintings. Stone, water and darkness are enlivened by rushing currents, decorated with green moss, spring growth or autumn foliage. Apart from over-determined, psychoanalytic readings (grotto = wish for a return to the womb), the Jura works display broad and vigorous handling as well as local particularity based on plein-air observation.
In Source of the Lison, as in his other Jura landscapes, Courbet cuts off the sky or any conventional vista, and medium or long views. We are forced close to the rocky cliffs and mysterious cave, confronted with cold, green–brown water pouring from its geological origin, the rising of the river. Paint is mainly brown, with white, bright green and orange highlights. It is applied thickly, pushed around with palette knife and spatula, to accentuate the materiality of the subject. The canvas is vertical, and Courbet accentuates the height of the cliffs by forcing movement down the cliff-face and over the splashing waterfall. Cézanne's cubes, spheres and pyramids owe some of their genesis to Courbet's admiring yet brusque painterly treatment of his native landscape.

When a child is diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, parents must learn to juggle a whole new set of priorities. Such changes can make it difficult to focus on the two of you, as a couple. But a healthy relationship can be a source of energy and renewal. When life is the most hectic and stressful is when you are in the greatest need of your partner's affection and support, so take the time to nourish the relationship you have with your "other half."
We hope you'll find the following advice helpful. It was offered by parents on the PHA_Parents email group and adapted from "My Child Has PH: A Guide for Parents," produced by the National Spanish Association of Pulmonary Hypertension (ANHP).
Share the responsibilities
Talk, talk, talk … and listen
Reserve private time for you as a couple
Put the illness in its place

I have said this so many times it is almost becoming cliche'.. but I'll say it again…
Last night the SPL of our Troop held the Patrol Leaders Council meeting. Because of a work conflict, I knew that I was not going to be able to be there, but two of the Assistant Scoutmasters of the Troop would be attending to maintain a safe environment and open up the meeting hall.
I called into the PLC for my two minutes of points that needed to be passed on from the committee and things that I thought needed to be attended to. It was fun for the Scouts to be on a conference call with the Scoutmaster. The SPL put his iPhone on speaker mode and placed it in the middle of the table.
I spoke my piece and asked if any one had questions.. then said good-bye.
Later that evening I got a call from… yeah.. you guessed it.. "Frustrated Dad". He wanted to know why I was not at the PLC meeting and who was running this show? Well the answer to the second part was obviously easy.. The SPL is running the show. As to why I was not there.. Work, sorry, moving on.
Once again I had to explain to him that I trust the SPL. I know that he has been trained and mentored well and that we had talked before the meeting so he could bounce he agenda off me. He will be shooting me an email sometime today also to recap the meeting. Not that I asked.. he just does it.
When we train the Scouts, trust them to do the right thing, and let them do the leading.. they do pretty darn good. The decisions that they are making, planning for, and executing are shaping them to be better leaders. They are practicing communication skills, working with others, and yes learning from mistakes also.
The question was asked, "How can you teach them if you are not there?" Well, I said, I am there.. I am there for them always. I will be able to coach and teach the SPL when ever he needs it. Again, going back to the prep work that the SPL did before the meeting. That was a good time to coach, and I did.
Remember that Baden-Powell told us never to do what a boy can do for himself… well that does not stop at setting up his tent and fluffing his pillow.. that is directed at the leadership of the Troop. Never lead the Troop.. that is why they hold elections and serve.
I had to remind Mr. Frustrated that none of the adults in Boy Scouts have the word "LEADER" on their patch.. That stops at DEN LEADER…
Well, I am proud of our PLC, they held a meeting, that I am sure went well, they are leading the Troop, which I know is going well, and they are having fun.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Limited Edition Lithograph - click here to find out more.
Hand-pulled lithography is a time-honoured means of producing high quality fine art reproductions. Once the artist has painted the original work of art, skilled artisans create individual printing plates for each colour represented in the piece. Depending on the number of colours, there can be dozens or even hundreds of plates required.
Each plate depicts only that part of the piece which is to receive that colour. Paint is applied by hand to the first plate, and it is pressed onto the paper with the use of historic presses dating back to the late 1800's. Once the first colour has dried, the second plate is painted and applied. This painstaking process continues until all colours and all parts of the original image have been recreated.
Hand-pulled lithographs are created on high quality acid-free rag paper, and are generally done in limited editions of no more than 750 pieces. They are often signed by the artist.
The quality and artistic heritage of hand-pulled lithographs makes them central to many fine art collections.
What is Conservation Glass?
Standard glass is suitable for most artwork in most homes. As ambient (indirect) sunlight and artificial light do not present a fading risk, most people do not require special UV filtering glass.
If you have a lot of direct sunlight in your home, you may want to upgrade your artwork purchase to conservation glass. Conservation glass filters out 97% of harmful UV rays and will prevent fading of signatures and artwork, as well as yellowing of paper.
The best thing to do is avoid hanging any art or photographs in direct sunlight. If you can't avoid direct sunlight, conservation glass is well worth the additional cost.

Fiji Population: 896,7581 VISITOR FROM HERE!
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Fiji became independent in 1970 after nearly a century as a British colony. Democratic rule was interrupted by two military coups in 1987 caused by concern over a government perceived as dominated by the Indian community (descendants of contract laborers brought to the islands by the British in the 19th century). The coups and a 1990 constitution that cemented native Melanesian control of Fiji led to heavy Indian emigration; the population loss resulted in economic difficulties, but ensured that Melanesians became the majority. A new constitution enacted in 1997 was more equitable. Free and peaceful elections in 1999 resulted in a government led by an Indo-Fijian, but a civilian-led coup in May 2000 ushered in a prolonged period of political turmoil. Parliamentary elections held in August 2001 provided Fiji with a democratically elected government led by Prime Minister Laisenia QARASE. Re-elected in May 2006, QARASE was ousted in a December 2006 military coup led by Commodore Voreqe BAINIMARAMA, who initially appointed himself acting president but in January 2007 became interim prime minister. Since taking power BAINIMARAMA has neutralized his opponents, crippled Fiji's democratic institutions, and initially refused to hold elections. In 2012, he promised to hold elections in 2014.

Fiji, endowed with forest, mineral, and fish resources, is one of the most developed of the Pacific island economies though still with a large subsistence sector. Sugar exports, remittances from Fijians working abroad, and a growing tourist industry - with 400,000 to 500,000 tourists annually - are the major sources of foreign exchange. Fiji's sugar has special access to European Union markets but will be harmed by the EU's decision to cut sugar subsidies. Sugar processing makes up one-third of industrial activity but is not efficient. Fiji's tourism industry was damaged by the December 2006 coup and is facing an uncertain recovery time. In 2007 tourist arrivals were down almost 6%, with substantial job losses in the service sector, and GDP dipped. The coup has created a difficult business climate. The EU has suspended all aid until the interim government takes steps toward new elections. Long-term problems include low investment, uncertain land ownership rights, and the government's inability to manage its budget. Overseas remittances from Fijians working in Kuwait and Iraq have decreased significantly. Fiji's current account deficit peaked at 23% of GDP in 2006, and declined to 12.5% of GDP in 2012.

by Juan FuertesANHP Coordinator
Attendees and panelists at the ANHP seminar
The Tom Lantos Innovation in Community Service Award has been a turning point in the psychological care of pulmonary hypertension patients in Spain. We have always promoted the principle of considering the PH patient as a whole, not just as a faulty organ. After publishing the guide "Emotional Aspects of PH," we saw the need to involve health officials in this holistic view of the disease. The Lantos Award has given us the opportunity to organize the first Seminar on Psychological Care for PH Patients, which reached out to psychologists and psychiatrists in Madrid.
On June 7, 2011, our organization brought together 12 psychologists and psychiatrists to discuss psycho-social needs in the field of PH, and this raised not only interest but real motivation and involvement on the part of the attendees. Irene Delgado, President of ANHP, says, "PH patients must get emotional support to face the fear of our prognosis, and we must have tools to reduce the challenges of this disease, which often impede access to jobs and make it hard to adjust to society. Psychological support is paramount for many patients in their struggle to make the most of their lives."
PH patients are often placed at the bottom tier of the health system because of the small number of patients, and getting support from health officials has proved challenging. However, we found unexpected support through the Coordinator of the Regional Mental Health Office of Madrid, Dr. Gustavo Petersen, who contributed to the success of the seminar.
After the seminar, we received a request from one of the public hospitals to fund research on the impact of psychological therapy in reducing morbidity and mortality of PH. One group of patients will attend group therapy while others will see psychiatrists on an individual basis. Their progress will be compared with a control group, and we expect to see a measurable difference in favor of the patients with psychological support.
There is much more to do as we encourage physicians to diagnose the whole person whose quality of life is affected by the way they experience the disease, the limitations they face, the drugs they take and changes from one functional class to another. This first seminar on psychological care for PH patients, made possible by the Tom Lantos Innovation in Community Service Award, is a milestone in the evolution of PH care. As President Delgado says, "We have opened a door for new challenges: we are small and in dire need of funds, but we have hope and a strong will."

the history of architecture as
canonical archetypes.
This particular project that
we just reviewed was an
analysis of the Serpentine
Pavilions in London, which is
an annual project that the
Serpentine Gallery puts on,
which is every summer, inviting
one world-renowned
architect who's never built in
London or in England to design
a pavilion for the summer.
So what the students have looked
at each in pairs are
looking at one particular
pavilion of their choice.
And they are analyzing it in
terms of structure, material,
tectonics, relationship to the
environment and the ground.
ALISON MILLS: We started
exploring what landscape meant
in terms of architecture and
trying to figure out how we
could interact with
the ground.
And then from here, we picked an
existing pavilion to figure
out how these pavilions interact
with their site.
For the next six weeks, after
this project is finished,
we're going to be designing
our own pavilion.
ALEJANDRO ARROYO: The pavilion
itself was very simple in
terms of the plan and in
terms of the structure.
But we wanted to focus more on
the experience through the
pavilion and what the pavilion
means for the architect and
how it relates to the site.
OLIVIA HUANG: The concept of the
pavilion was that it was
excavating the past pavilions,
the foundations.
So we wanted to explore that
digging into the earth aspect
and the level of changes that
happen and how or why they
chose the logic they did, and
maybe if we could find our own
logic from that.
GRETA HAYES: We are trying to
extract and analyze important
details and information from
these pavilions to see what
the structural meaning and the
effects of these temporary
buildings are.
ALEJANDRO ARROYO: I chose the
architecture program at
Princeton because it allowed
me to do more things.
There are a lot of other
things that I can do.
I can practice my sport.
I'm a member of the track
and field team.
That's the beauty about the
Princeton program, because
you're still getting an amazing
architecture education
and formation.
But it allows you to do and
practice something else. and
not only my sport, but if
I'm interested in other
disciplines, I still have that
freedom to go there and
explore it.
