Stephen King's novel "Cujo" tells the story of a St. Bernard dog that becomes violent after being bitten by a rabid bat. A woman named Donna Trenton takes her young son in her Pinto to a local mechanic's garage for repairs, but they become trapped by the rabid dog in the sweltering car. The book was banned by several school districts in the 1980s due to its profanity and strong sexual content.
The document provides information for parents about Miss Krysta's 5th grade classroom for the upcoming school year. It introduces the teacher and staff, describes upcoming events like dress-up days and music concerts. It also outlines the discipline policy, attendance expectations, reading days, and early dismissal dates for conferences and holidays. The summary encourages parents to contact the teacher with any absences and thanks them for attending the open house.
The document provides background on the Puritan Age/Colonial Period in America from 1600-1700. It discusses that Puritans were English Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England and establish a society based on their religious beliefs. Their plain and powerful writing style influenced early American literature. Key Puritan writers mentioned include Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards, and John Winthrop.
Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe in their home in 1892. On the day of the murders, Lizzie's explanations of her activities were inconsistent and witnesses testified she had attempted to buy poison and burned a dress she was wearing. However, Lizzie maintained her innocence and was found not guilty due to lack of evidence directly linking her to the crime. After the trial, Lizzie lived out the rest of her life in the home she purchased with her sister in Fall River, Massachusetts.

This document outlines a Chinese conversation class, including its goals, activities, and an example lesson. The class aims to improve daily conversation skills, build vocabulary, discuss culture, and debate topics through group discussions, games, media, presentations, and role-playing. For one lesson, students were divided into groups to research topics like education systems or music, interviewed Chinese speakers, and then presented their findings. Students said they enjoyed learning directly from native speakers, practicing listening comprehension, and gaining cultural insights not available in textbooks.

I believe that it is our duty to wear a mask during the pandemic and not recklessly expose others in our sphere of influence to Covid-19. If you are interested, read my analysis.
The Lost Creek Civic Organization passed a resolution opposing CodeNEXT 3.0, Austin's proposed rewrite of its land development code. The resolution expressed concerns that CodeNEXT 3.0 would contradict deed restrictions in Lost Creek, increase litigation and degrade the neighborhood. It requested that the City commit to enforcing deed restrictions, reject provisions allowing non-residential uses or increased density, traffic, or impervious cover. The resolution also asked the City to postpone any vote on CodeNEXT 3.0 until more review and analysis could occur.
Lost Creek Wildfire Adapted Community PlanPaul Schumann
The Lost Creek Wildfire Adapted Community Plan aims to improve wildfire preparedness and safety in the Lost Creek neighborhood. The plan seeks to (1) inspect homes in high risk wildland-urban interface areas to assess compliance with firewise standards, (2) educate homeowners on mitigation measures and provide assistance with landscaping/debris removal, and (3) develop an evacuation plan coordinated with other entities in the area and provide education to residents. The plan also aims to conduct fuel reduction projects on public and private lands, advocate for improved emergency response times, and update local development codes to incorporate firewise building standards.
- The document analyzes housing affordability data from ZIP code 78704 in Austin.
- It finds that housing price is most strongly correlated with size and age of the home. Only condos built before 1972 are around $200,000, the price affordable to median income.
- Increasing density or housing diversity alone will not make housing affordable given current market conditions and construction costs. The real issue is socioeconomic and requires broader policies than land development code changes can address.
This document provides definitions and standards for 11 transect zones (T3-T6) that regulate building types, forms, and uses to create walkable urban environments. Each zone is defined by its intent, allowed building types and sizes, setbacks, parking standards, and intended uses. The zones range from low-density residential edges (T3) to high-intensity mixed-use cores (T6).
A Tale of Two Cities (Austin and Seattle)Paul Schumann
The document summarizes recommendations from a Seattle task force on housing affordability and compares planning approaches between Seattle and Austin. It notes that Seattle requires developers to include affordable units, prioritizes affordable housing on public land, and offers subsidies and tax breaks to encourage affordable development and prevent displacement. In contrast, the document argues Austin accepts too much development without ensuring affordability and quality of life. It calls for Austin to update neighborhood plans, engage diverse voices, and require all neighborhoods to participate in housing supply solutions.

A 2012 study by the City showed that Austin’s zoning capacity would accommodate a doubling of the population. That is apparently not enough for
organizations like the Real Estate Council of Austin
(RECA), Austin Board of Realtors (ABOR), and Austinites For Urban Rail Action (AURA). These groups blame single family zoning for the City’s housing affordability crisis and claim that entrenched neighborhood groups resist any changes to neighborhoods.
Fact Sheets on Fencing for Wildfire MitigationPaul Schumann
Noncombustible fencing materials within 5 feet of a home can help reduce wildfire risks. Combustible fencing can ignite from embers and spread fire to the nearby home. Fencing products made of noncombustible materials like steel or those with designs allowing better air flow are less likely to ignite from embers.
A wildfire adapted community is defined by the United States Forest Service as "a knowledgeable and
engaged community in which the awareness and actions of residents regarding infrastructure, buildings, landscaping, and the surrounding ecosystem lessens the need for extensive protection actions and enables the community to safely accept wildfire as a part of the surrounding landscape." The National Wildfire Coordinating Group definition, which was developed approved by the Wildland Urban Interface Mitigation Committee, is "A human community consisting of informed and prepared citizens collaboratively planning and taking action to safely coexist with wildland fire."
The document provides an assessment of wildfire risk for the Lost Creek community. It analyzes various wildfire risk factors like ignition density, fire intensity, rate of spread, and home defensibility across different areas of Lost Creek. GIS maps are used to visualize the data. Home defensibility is rated based on homeowners' ability to implement wildfire risk reduction measures within 100-200 feet of their homes. The analysis finds that Lost Creek has a serious wildfire risk and many homeowners have limited ability to protect their homes individually. It identifies priority areas for wildfire mitigation based on a combination of wildfire risk factors and home defensibility ratings.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
