Subject: Animal Evacuations In A Post-Katrina World
KINSHIP CIRCLE PRIMARY / LOUISIANA’S FIRST ANIMAL EVACUATIONS, POST-KATRINA
Dear Kinship Circle Primary,
Please except our apologies for the lack of alerts in recent weeks. We were in New Orleans from 8/27 to 9/1, assisting with animal evacuations after Hurricane Gustav. We’ve continued to manage volunteers, working with MuttShack Animal Rescue on post-Gustav issues -- and are on standby to help animals in Hurricane Ike, if necessary. Gratefully, hurricane season won’t last much longer...so we can resume animal advocacy alerts! Kinship Circle
9/10/08: Hurricane Gustav - Photo Log
It was surreal. We shifted from awards mode to action mode as Hurricane Gustav loomed behind the Katrina Animal Memorial 8/29/08 in New Orleans. When Humane Society of Louisiana's magical day ended, Kinship Circle set-up a volunteer intake table to assist MuttShack Animal Rescue for the evacuation of pets with their people. The Louisiana State Animal Response Team (LSART) implemented a system for animal evacuations -- that did not exist during Katrina. Photos courtesy of Kinship Circle.
Kinship Circle receives a Pioneer Spirit Award for its work in the Gulf Coast.

Louisiana Animal Evacuations In A Post-Katrina World
===========================
HURRICANE GUSTAV ANIMAL EVACUATIONS
August 28-31, 2008: Kinship Circle volunteers joined other LSART partner organizations/individuals to work at pre-designated sites where people could evacuate with their animals from 12 coastal parishes.
MUTTSHACK AND KINSHIP CIRCLE
MuttShack Animal Rescue -- on the ground pre-Gustav to help in many capacities -- enlisted Kinship Circle to coordinate volunteers. MuttShack provided animal transport trucks and helped Parish Pickup Points (PPPs) before/during evacuations. Kinship Circle commends MuttShack for its professionalism and dedication to animals during disasters.
Volunteers associated with Kinship Circle (pre/post-Gustav) include: Cheri Deatsch, Kim Lea, Adrienne DeArmas, Kim Johnson, Robyn Urman, Teri Meier, Sandy Lynn, Kylie Shafferkoetter, Ghen Dennis, Sarah Rose, Lisa Roussel, Tracie Dawson, June Towler, Joanne Greene, Debby Osburn, Jim York, Kristy McShan, Sandi Corrado, Jeanne Develle... This list is by no means inclusive. We are grateful to ALL who committed their time and energy to the most innocent disaster victims -- the animals.
LOUISIANA STATE ANIMAL RESPONSE TEAM (LSART)
LSART is an organization that includes governmental agencies, veterinarians, animal control officers, humane organizations, and citizen volunteers with an interest in animal well-being related to emergencies or disasters.
KINSHIP CIRCLE ANIMAL DISASTER AID NETWORK
We’re a network of independent volunteers who communicate during disasters to mobilize volunteers, supplies, and other resources for animal victims. Kinship Circle may work directly at disaster sites or in conjunction with other groups. We also provide news and updates during disasters.

Union Station, Loyola Street, New Orleans

This Shitzu pup reminded me so much of my Lhasa Apso Mandy, I became fast friends with her mom. Evacuees appreciated comforting words and smiles.
Brenda Shoss, Kinship Circle
At PPPs, we tagged animals with numbered bands that matched wristbands worn by their people -- in case they became separated, as happened to stranded animals after Katrina. After detailed paperwork, evacuees boarded buses with small animals on their laps. Large animals traveled in airline carriers on climate-controlled trucks. Animals and people went to a "Mega Shelter" in Shreveport, Louisiana, where they stayed side by side.
Animals under 15 pounds (exotics, cats, small dogs) could ride with their people on buses. We let as many of the little guys as possible evacuate on familiar laps. (I’m fairly certain some weighed over 15 pounds).
This burly New Orleans police officer (right) brought in his Shitzu and bunny rabbit, Teddy! We also registered an iguana, several birds, and some residents with eight or more cats (who mostly traveled on laps and burrowed inside carriers...so no cat photos).
First responders, such as the police officer above, evacuated their companion animals while they remained on the ground for Gustav. During intake, some evacuees recalled fur kids lost to Katrina, when officials refused to let them board buses or helicopters with their animals.
This resident was so sad to separate from his dogs, especially Ms. Prissy, he cried in our arms as we assured him they’d reunite at the shelter.
===========================
An Empty City On The Eve Of A Hurricane
===========================
5:00pm on Sunday, 8/31/08 -- With Gustav imminent, we registered stragglers. Rosemarie Jarreau’s family arrived late with 10 dogs to band and register. All buses had left and a final Amtrac train waited for them at Union Station.
Rosemarie Jarreau and her son Devontay Jenkins hug their puppies at an emergency pet evacuation center before boarding the last Amtrac train to depart New Orleans, Louisiana, enroute to Memphis, Tennessee, August 31, 2008, after a mandatory evacuation was ordered ahead of Hurricane Gustav.

HOUR-54: Parish pickup points open. Volunteers report for duty.
HOUR-30: Contra-flow begins. Police control flow of traffic out of city only.
Only credentialed responders can enter.
HOUR-12: All volunteers evacuate. Can load animals until H-12
Kinship Circle's Cheri Deatsch and Kim Lea joined Brenda and her husband Grady to help city-assisted evacuees with animals -- working alongside LSU students, EARS, ARNO, LSPCA, Humane Society of Missouri. HSUS dropped by after we'd wrapped operations, to photograph some animals...
===========================
No Animals Left Behind?
===========================
Gustav made landfall as a Grade 3 hurricane on Monday, 9/1/08. WERE ANIMALS LEFT BEHIND? There are always gaps in a first-time system. While we didn't see the hundreds of thousands of animals who suffered after Katrina, phone calls flowed in about animals confined in homes, tethered in backyards, or seen roaming. A week after evacuations in harder-hit southeastern Louisiana animals were seen hungry, wandering...some dead. What went wrong?
Mainly, it seems, there was a communication discrepancy between Parish Emergency Planners and citizens within their communities.
At Parish Pickup Points, only volunteers registering animals asked: “Did you leave any animals behind?” It was suggested that volunteers ask people-only evacuees the same question.
Finally, the complexity of instructions regarding animal evacuations may have overwhelmed some. Animal caretakers were told to bring carriers and vaccinated animals (with veterinary papers). In fact, animals were placed in donated cardboard carriers or mesh "pet purses" to sit atop laps on buses. Larger animals traveled inside airline carriers. If some issues had been better clarified, more evacuees might have arrived with their animals.

LUMBINI NEPAL
Lumbinī (Nepali and Sanskrit: लुम्बिनी listen (help•info), "the lovely") is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi District of Nepal. It is the place where, according to Buddhist tradition, Queen Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama in 563 BCE.[1][2] Gautama, who achieved Enlightenment some time around 528 BCE,[3][4] became the Buddha and founded Buddhism.[5][6][7]Lumbini is one of many magnets for pilgrimage that sprang up in places pivotal to the life of the Buddha.
Lumbini has a number of temples, including the Mayadevi Temple and several others which are still under repair. Many monuments, monasteries and a museum, the Lumbini International Research Institute, are also within the holy site. Also there is the Puskarini, or Holy Pond, where the Buddha's mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he had his first bath. At other sites near Lumbini, earlier Buddhas were, according to tradition, born, then achieved ultimate Enlightenment and finally relinquished their earthly forms
In the Buddha's time, Lumbini was situated in east of Kapilavastu and southwest Devadaha of Shakya kingdom of Nepal.[8][9] It was there, that the Buddha was born.[10] A pillar discovered in 1896 (and erected thereafter at Rummindei) is believed to mark the spot of Ashoka's visit to Lumbini. The site was not known as Lumbini before the pillar was discovered.[11] According to an inscription on the pillar, it was placed there by the people then in charge of the park to commemorate Ashoka's visit and gifts.[12] The park was previously known as Rummindei, 2 mi (2 mi (3.2 km)) north of Bhagavanpura.
The Sutta Nipáta (vs. 683) states that the Buddha was born in a village of the Sákyans in the Lumbineyya Janapada. The Buddha stayed in Lumbinívana during his visit to Devadaha and there preached the Devadaha Sutta.
In 1896, Nepalese archaeologists (led by Khadga Samsher Rana and assisted by Alois Anton Führer) discovered a great stone pillar at Lumbini, according to the crucial historical records made by the ancient Chinese monk-pilgrim Xuanzang in the 7th century CE. Führer postulated that the pillar was placed at the site by Ashoka (emperor of the Maurya Empire) circa 245 BCE. Records made by another ancient Chinese monk-pilgrim Faxian in the early 5th century CE, were also used in the process of identifying this religiously acclaimed site.
Recent excavations beneath existing brick structures at the Mayadevi Temple at Lumbini have uncovered evidence for an older timber structure beneath the walls of the newer brick Buddhist shrine, which was constructed during the Ashokan era. The layout of the Ashokan shrine closely follows that of the earlier timber structure, which suggests a continuity of worship at the site. The pre-Mauryan timber structure appears to be an ancient bodhigara (tree shrine), consisting of postholes and a wooden railing surrounding a clay floor containing mineralized tree roots that appears to have been worn smooth by visitors. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from the wooden postholes and optically stimulated luminescence dating of elements in the soil suggests human activity (possibly pre-Buddhist tree worship) began at the site around 1000 BCE, followed by the development of a Buddhist monastery-like community by approximately 550 BCE
Lumbini is 4.8 km (3 mi) in length and 1.6 km (1.0 mi) in width. The holy site of Lumbini is bordered by a large monastic zone in which only monasteries can be built, no shops, hotels or restaurants. It is separated into an eastern and western monastic zone, the eastern having the Theravadin monasteries, the western having Mahayanaand Vajrayana monasteries.
The holy site of Lumbini has ruins of ancient monasteries, a sacred Bodhi tree, an ancient bathing pond, the Ashokan pillar and the Mayadevi Temple, where the supposed place of birth of Buddha is located. From early morning to early evening, pilgrims from various countries perform chanting and meditation at the site.
A non-governmental organization named Samriddhi Foundation started in 2013 working extensively in the field of education and health specially in government schools of the area where underprivileged children study. A non-governmental organisation called "Asia Pacific Exchange and Cooperation Foundation" (APECF) backed by chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)and then Prime Minister Prachanda, the Chinese government and a UN group called "United Nations Industrial Development Organization" (UNIDO) signed a deal to develop Lumbini into a "special development zone" with funds worth $3 billion.[15] The venture was a China-UN joint project. A broader 'Lumbini Development National Director Committee' under the leadership of Pushpa Kamal Dahal was formed on 17 October 2011.[16] The six-member committee included Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) leader Mangal Siddhi Manandhar, Nepali Congress leader Minendra Rijal, Forest Minister Mohammad Wakil Musalman, among other leaders. The committee was given the authority to "draft a master plan to develop Lumbini as a peaceful and tourism area and table the proposal" and the responsibility to gather international support for the same.

Rowena and her one-month-old son, Patrick, ran to their local village hall in Libertad, Cebu Province after Typhoon Haiyan had blown away their whole house. A small table now serves as baby Patrick's temporary bed. Curled in a corner, baby Patrick is fast asleep, unaware of what just happened in his hometown.
Rowena recounts the moments when Typhoon Haiyan hit her village in the northern part of Cebu on 9 November:
"We ran inside the gym but after several minutes the gym's iron-sheet roof was also blown away. We ran again to the village hall to take cover. The wind and rain were strong and whistling. I was running under the rain, carrying my baby.
"My husband was also running with our eldest son. We feared then that if Haiyan also blew away the roof on the village hall, we would have nothing to go to and protect us from Haiyan's rain and wind".
UK aid is reaching people like Rowenna in northern Cebu now, with the help of NGOs such as World Vision, as Chris Clarke, World Vision New Zealand CEO explains:
"World Vision distributed food, water, and sanitation supplies to 900 families in northern Cebu. It was the first aid this community has been given since the typhoon hit. It was a day of joy and relief for these 900 families. The gratitude of thousands of people who World Vision helped today was immense. Lives were saved today.
"The town in north Cebu where we were distributing food was almost completely wiped out - power poles down, trees down, and there was a point where we started to see children appearing with signs saying "please give us food, please give us water." There was probably only one in ten houses standing, it was a scene of complete destruction.
"As soon as we started loading food out of the back of the trucks everyone was very orderly, very happy, and unbelievably thankful. Lots of smiles. It was a very special moment.
"We met communities who hadn't been reached yet by the aid workers. Our distribution was the first the community has seen in 7 days, so our arrival was eagerly anticipated. One of the things that's been touching is people who have been genuinely grateful for the aid they've received."

Hello guys and gals, I'm uploading this image because I need your help.. my Skyrim has gone crazy.
The cause of my Skyrim's craziness is due to "eyes", and not those added by some mod like Iridum or TEOB, but Vanilla eyes.
I can't select Vanilla eyes anymore because my game CTD.
I can select those whose textures got replaced (I think) but if I select certain eyes I get a CTD.
I tried with different characters, I tried with most of the mods disabled (excluding Racemenu and a few others like SFO or WATER) but nothing.
I don't know why it happened and when, since I didn't change the eyes color for a long time, but this troubles me.. especially because it happens even when I don't have active mods.
Could it be something related to Chargen Extension? Or Female Facial Animations? (I didn't try with a male character, now I'll do a test)
Someone that has experienced this issue?
Any help is welcome!

I'm making Arsenal. Should I make the base regular red or dark red? If I use regular red, everything with be accurate, but it will be a bit vibrant. If I use dark red, the darker colors will be altered, but the it will also have a dark theme that might look better. I could also make both versions and just scrap the one that I like less, but that's a bit of work. Help...
