The ‘Ecosystem-based Adaptation South’ project seeks to help the Seychelles, Nepal and Mauritania to adapt to climate change, in part by restoring natural habitats across all types of ecosystems. In the Seychelles, on-the-ground ecological restoration will rehabilitate 29 hectares of mangrove and wetland forests, thus providing natural flood barriers.

"How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. "
- Ulysses, Tennyson

Dr. Daniel Petrisor
Reconstructing lives with microsurgery
The email had a familiar, desperate tone. A 4-week-old Romanian infant had developed a giant growth on her neck that would kill her if she didn’t get emergency surgery. Dr. Daniel Petrisor was the child’s last hope.
“They said if I didn’t come they would be forced to make a difficult decision,” says Petrisor, a Portland State alum and leading cancer surgeon.
Petrisor made the trip to his native country and performed hours of intense surgery to remove the tumor and reconstruct the girl’s neck and jaw. She survived, and a recent photo shows barely a trace of injury.
It was the second time Petrisor had been called to serve Romania, the country he fled as a young child with his family to escape an oppressive communist government. In 2010, he responded to pleas from the parents of 6-month-old Matia Simion to save their child from a mouth cancer that was threatening his life. With help from churches, the child was flown to Louisiana, where Petrisor was practicing. He sliced apart the jaw, removed the tumor and reconstructed the boy’s lower face. Later, media coverage of the successful surgery turned Petrisor into a minor celebrity in Romania and his hometown of Beaverton.
Now at Oregon Health & Science University, Petrisor, 40, has become a go-to surgeon for some of the most complex head and neck cases. If cancer has invaded the mouth, eyes, throat or neck, often because of smoking, drinking or a combination, Petrisor removes it – a procedure that requires some gut-wrenching cutting and deconstruction, then painstaking reconstruction.
It’s a rare skill, with roots in his days as a biology student at Portland State. As one of the early members of PSU’s nascent Honors College, Petrisor spent time as an intern with a surgeon at the National Institutes of Health who worked on saliva glands. Fascinated by the intense, precise nature of the work, he enrolled in dental school as a steppingstone to becoming an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Between rounds at OHSU, Petrisor spent a few minutes reminiscing about his time at PSU. He was a member of the first group of PSU Ambassadors – a group of students that welcome newcomers to campus, lead tours and promote the university.
“That was an exciting time,” he says. “You really got to know the heart of the university and showcase it.”
That year, then-President Judith Ramaley adopted PSU’s motto “Let Knowledge Serve the City.” As their end-of-the-year gift, Petrisor’s ambassadors group installed the motto on the Broadway overpass, making it an instant PSU landmark.
Service to humanity has become Petrisor’s calling.
“My motivation is the patient,” he says. “They each have a story. They each have a family. They’re someone’s son or daughter. For them to entrust their care to me and my team is an incredible privilege.”
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.

I tried to capture the view through the circles in the railings of the stairways leading to the high bookshelves in the Library of Congress African and Middle Eastern Reading Room. But the image turned out to have even more rectangles than circles! I was there to view an exhibit of "Obamalia," memorabilia collected in Africa celebrating the Obama campaign and election.

I must have been mad but the other guys who missed out wanted to go so I thought what the hell, lets go again and maybe capture something different. So thats what I did today.
A real time capsule but nature is taking back a lot of the rooms with full on decay and collapsed floors. Not to mention a shotgun wielding farmer and a bull roaming the enclosure to make matters worse. No chase today - bull was curiously watching us run away but did not decide to pursue.

SACREDspace - the 411 on Yoga & Cancer - The Heart Chakra
Within our body there are seven major energy centers, called chakras. These spiritual centers are aligned along the spinal column and are related to certain organs in the physical body. When energy is out of balance or not flowing correctly in the spiritual centers of the body, it can manifest as different kinds of imbalances, eventually resulting in illness or imbalance in the corresponding organs. Since the breast is close to and associated with the heart chakra, breast cancer can be seen to be related to this chakra.
The heart chakra is the center of divine love, and the light of this chakra at spiritual levels is a beautiful rose-pink. The heart chakra is often likened to a rose—a twelve-petaled rose-colored center from which divine love flows.[1]
There has been much written about the heart and the path of the heart. Even in our everyday language, the significance of the heart is seen: “Her heart is broken” or “It pains my heart to hear of all that she has been through” or “Get to the heart of the matter” or “Follow your heart and do what your heart tells you to do.” These are but a few of the many little phrases that tell us that we all know intuitively how important the heart is as a spiritual center. The heart is our most important spiritual center. There is a spiritual flame that burns in your heart; the light in your heart is greater than all of the darkness that is in the world. This is why the Bible says, “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” [2]
[1 & 2] www.journeythroughcancer.org/InitiationOfTheHeart.html
The “he that is in you” is the spirit of the living God, the flame of life that is anchored within your heart. The Heart Chakra is associated with the color green or pink. This love center of our human energy system is often the focus in bringing about a healing. Thus, the words "Love Heals All" have great truth. Hurtful situations that can effect our emotional being are divorce or separation, grief through death, emotional abuse, abandonment, adultery. All of these are wounding to the heart chakra. Physical illnesses brought about by heartbreak require that an emotional healing occur along with the physical healing. Learning to love yourself is a powerful first step in securing a healthy fourth chakra. The "wounded child" resides in the heart chakra. [3] healing.about.com/cs/chakras/a/chakra4.htm
Prior to my own diagnosis, I had also experienced an extremely painful situation when my marriage ended as I began the completion of my art degree. I was alone in a new city without the resources or knowledge on how to cope, much less survive. I remember the pain in my chest being so severe I literally thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. This type of physical response to an emotional situation is common place and for those who do not understand the importance of dealing with emotional pain, the body can and does find a way to manifest and demands a “Call to Action!”
Western medicine has begun to look and embrace more holistic approaches to healing with consideration given to the true value and impact of our emotions on our physical and mental well being. If you have any questions regarding the chakras, yoga, or emotional management you can contact SACREDspace Studio with your questions, feedback or suggestions.
