Pamela and I are both graduates of the Master of Science in Historic Preservation program at Columbia University. We have known and worked with each other for almost twenty years, as members of the board of APT and as colleagues in the development of preservation theory for the conservation of twentieth century heritage. Pamela is known internationally as a cultural heritage visionary who has developed the technical approach to the restoration and rehabilitation of some of the most significant sites in the world, from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater, to the Gilded Mansions in Newport, to World Heritage Sites in Yemen, Crimea and Egypt. Her inspired approaches to promoting new thinking in the philosophy of preservation approaches to 20th Century Heritage and archaeological sites, both ephemeral types of structures whose authenticity has been debated by preservation leaders around the world, has changed the way that architects use theories and policies to frame their preservation approaches and designs. Her publications, teaching and development of symposia have certainly informed my own practice. She advised me on advocacy approaches in 2015 when I was attempting to save a Paul Rudolph complex from demolition in Buffalo and she reviewed her innovative designs for the windows and curtain wall at the Guggenheim with me when I was developing possible approaches for a modern preservation project in Buffalo. Pamela’s guest-edited APT Bulletin on authenticity is one of the most popular issues in its 40-year history, which makes it one of the most significant pieces of international preservation research in the past decade. This Bulletin does not just sit on a shelf but is used by preservation architects around the world to inform their own design thinking. She has shared her technical and design knowledge and expertise freely with developing nations through her volunteer efforts for ICOMOS, UNESCO and the Global Heritage Fund. She has spent decades advising the Yemeni government on the protection and preservation of its mud- brick monuments. And she has trained graduate students and professionals for over twenty years. I am honored to consider Pamela a colleague and friend and it is with great confidence and honor that I sponsor Ms. Pamela Jerome, AIA for Fellow in the American Institute of Architects. I can think of no AIA member today focusing on preservation and cultural heritage who is more deserving of the elevation to Fellow. Very Truly Yours, Barbara A. Campagna, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C Principal and President, APT International (2005-2007) SECTION 1 SUMMARY SUMMARY STATEMENT Pamela Jerome is an innovative leader in the application of theory and doctrine on the preservation of significant structures in the US and worldwide.

Guggenheim THROUGH TECHNICAL Museum, and international World Heritage sites. Pamela develops philosophical and EXPERTISE technical approaches to restoration using a values-based approach. She considers buildings to be the physical representation of their accumulated histories. Pamela’s designs acknowledge significance but also respect the importance of changes that have occurred over time. LEADING DESIGN As an expert member of several ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and PHILOSOPHY AND THE Sites) International Scientific Committees, Pamela leads in the debate of authenticity DISCUSSION OF and preservation techniques for ephemeral materials, such as earthen architecture, AUTHENTICITY ON 20th-century heritage, and archaeological-site conservation. Her guest-edited APT EPHEMERAL MATERIALS Bulletin on authenticity is the most popular issue with the most international readers in the history of the journal. As director of the Tarimi Mansions Preservation Project in Yemen, she led an earthen-architecture documentation-training program. TRAINING AND For over 20 years, Pamela has been teaching historic preservation at Columbia MENTORING FUTURE University’s GSAPP, where she developed the first graduate course on GENERATIONS archaeological-site conservation. With former students located around the world, many have remained in contact with her and often acknowledge that her mentoring changed their lives and career choices. Her international hands-on training provides unique experiences in traditional construction technologies. PROVIDING INTERNATIONAL Pamela is internationally recognized as a cultural-heritage expert. She develops CULTURAL-HERITAGE interdisciplinary technical research and programmatic activities through her EXPERTISE TO NON- volunteer NGO work at ICOMOS. She was the third American to serve on the GOVERNMENTAL ICOMOS World Heritage Panel. Pamela’s work encourages a dialogue between old ORGANIZATIONS and new. She advises the Board of APT (Association for Preservation Technology International) on interdisciplinary opportunities as the US/ICOMOS liaison. Her 15- year capacity-building services in Yemen testify to her belief that accomplished professionals should share their knowledge with developing nations. DISSEMINATING Pamela publishes numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals, thereby advancing PROFESSIONAL theoretical and technical knowledge. Pamela lectures on the use of protective EXPERTISE shelters internationally, an area greatly lacking in expertise. NCPTT (National Center for Preservation Technology and Training) funded her development of the colloquium on Protective Shelters for Archaeological Sites in the Southwest; the resulting recommendations are considered definitive. She co-organized the Louis Sullivan Terra Cotta Symposium in NYC, the proceeds of which established APT’s Martin Weaver Student Scholarship. 2017 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS FELLOWSHIP NOMINATION: PAMELA JEROME, AIA, LEED AP 2 SECTION 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS EDUCATION: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK, NY M SC IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION, 1989-91 NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY, ATHENS, GREECE B ARCH IN ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, 1974-79 CERTIFICATION: LEED ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL, 2008 WORK HISTORY: PROFESSIONAL 2015-PRESENT ARCHITECTURAL PRESERVATION STUDIO, DPC (APS) NEW YORK, NY PRESIDENT/CEO 1986-2015 WANK ADAMS SLAVIN ASSOCIATES LLP (WASA) NEW YORK, NY PARTNER, DIRECTOR OF PRESERVATION, PROJECT MANAGER, JOB CAPTAIN 1984-1986 CONSULTING FOR ARCHITECTS NEW YORK, NY PRODUCTION CONSULTANT 1982-1984 STINCHCOMB AND MONROE NEW YORK, NY PROJECT DIRECTOR 1981-1982 WYS DESIGN NEW YORK, NY DRAFTSPERSON EDUCATION 2004-PRESENT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES NEW YORK, NY ADJUNCT PROFESSOR 1995-PRESENT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY GSAPP NEW YORK, NY ADJUNCT ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION 2017 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS FELLOWSHIP NOMINATION: PAMELA JEROME, AIA, LEED AP 3 SECTION 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2.1 SIGNIFICANT WORK: PRESERVATION PRACTITIONER Pamela is a preservation architect with 36 years’ experience.

  • RESTORATION RESTORATION 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr
    REGRETS, REALITY, REGRETS, REALITY, RESTORATION RESTORATION Regrets: whose life is not plagued by at least a few of these nagging leftovers from the past? The things we regret doing—or not doing, as the case may be—can wear us down, reshaping our lives and our sense of self, in the process. Left unattended, regrets erode our self-esteem, our willingness to press on, even our ability to think clearly. Everything becomes shrouded by the guilt, the pain we’ve caused, the sense that lives have been ruined, or at least dreadfully altered, by our foolish mistakes. 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr. What’s happened in our lives, however, does not have to dictate the present—or the future. We can move beyond the crippling anguish and pain our decisions St. Louis, Missouri 63141-8557 may have caused. Still, restoration—true restoration— is not purely a matter of willpower and positive think- ing. It’s turning to the One who has taken all our griefs, 1-800-876-9880 • www.lhm.org sorrows, anxieties, blunders, and misdeeds to the cross and where, once and for all time, He won for us an ultimate victory, through His death and resurrection. In Jesus there is a way out of your past. There is no 6BE159 sin beyond pardon. Even as Peter was devastated by his callousness toward the Savior’s predicament and arrest, he was restored—by the grace of God—to a REGRETS, REALITY, life that has made a difference in the lives of untold millions through the centuries. 6BE159 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr.

  • Study Guide August 13-16 2020
    Study Guide August 13-16 2020 1 Dramaturg’s Note by Shannon Montague I am an educator. My entire life has been focused on the premise that curiosity is a gift with never-ending benefits. The more we seek to understand, the better. When I set out to create a packet of key terms for the cast of In the Heights, I didn’t think it would become the show’s ​ ​ official Study Guide, and that I would become the show’s dramaturg. I simply wanted to illuminate the world that Lin-Manuel Miranda created, complete with characters who are multi-layered and a world that spans generations. I not only sought to share what I knew, but also, more importantly, to understand what I didn’t know. I lived in the same time as Big Pun. I made mixtapes. Our cast did not. Miranda understands Latinx culture and growing up in New York City. I do not. What we all understand is that musical theater and the arts have power. That’s why we are here. I simply sought to fill the gaps. There are moments in this show that resonate across generations. The character Sonny in his solo rap during the song “96,000” says: “What about immigration?/ Politicians be hatin’./ Racism in this nation’s gone from latent to blatant./ I’ll cash my ticket and picket, invest in protest,/ never lost my focus till the city takes notice/ and you know this man! I’ll never sleep/ because the ghetto has a million promises/ for me to keep!” Whether you were alive in 1999 when Miranda was writing his earliest draft of the show or in 1943 when Abuela Claudia arrived in New York or you just know today, seven years since #BlackLivesMatter was founded, what we all see is the continued struggle for BIPOC to be seen, heard and known in America.

  • Israel and the Church Fathers by Ronald E
    Israel and the Church Fathers by Ronald E. Diprose y special interest in the place of Israel in God’s eternal plan began with a conference in Florence, Italy, in 1990. The theme of the conference was the Church’s response to Israel, “La Chiesa di fronte a Israele.” There were delegates from the M Methodist, Waldensian, and Brethren Assemblies. After my exposition of Romans chapters 9 to 11—showing that God had not rejected his people, despite the unbelief of many—the Waldensian theologian who was chairing the Conference commented: “We [meaning most Waldensians and Methodists] must admit that we were wrong [in holding to Replacement Theology]”. As a result, I decided to discover what had determined Christian thinking on this subject by reading relevant parts of the Patristic writings dating from the early Christian centuries. In order to do this research in a rigorous manner, I applied and was accepted into a doctoral program in Leuven, Belgium. DOES THE NEW TESTAMENT TEACH REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY? Opinions are divided on this vital point and much turns on the answer given. Some scholars take the hard language used by Jesus in speaking of those Jews who did not accept him as their Messiah as proof that anti-Judaism, leading to supercessionism, has its roots in the NT corpus. The Jews had been hoping for a political Messiah who would have freed Israel from the Roman yoke (Luke 24:21), whereas Jesus put off all such activity to his second advent (Luke 19:11-27; Acts 1:6-8). In reality, the way Jesus described Jewish unbelievers was no different from the way the apostles describe all who refuse to believe the gospel (John 8:44; 1 John 3:10).

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Running head: BIBLICAL CONCEPTS OF RESTORATION 1 Abstract The Bible is filled with rich images of healing and restoration—it is a consistent and persistent theme in both the Old and New Testaments. Examples from Genesis, the Law of God, the Sanctuary, the story of Daniel, the New Covenant, the Gospels, Paul’s writings, and the book of Revelation are provided. This understanding of restoration and God’s role as the Master Restorer stands in sharp contrast to many historical and contemporary perspectives. It sets lifestyle change into a context and is fundamental to developing a wholistic and comprehensive approach to lifestyle medicine. One significant role of an advanced practice nurse (APN) in promoting healthy behaviors is to approach lifestyle change with a Biblical foundation, particularly for people of the Christian faith.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci's St John the Baptist Back on View at the Louvre
    AiA Art News-service Leonardo Da Vinci’s St John the Baptist back on view at the Louvre after a thorough—but careful—cleaning The ten-month project faced “major media pressure” because of earlier restorations of the artist’s work at the museum by VICTORIA STAPLEY-BROWN | 9 November 2016 Leonardo da Vinci's St John the Baptist, 1513-16 Leonardo Da Vinci’s St John the Baptist (around 1513-16), a treasure of the Louvre Museum in Paris, is once again on view to the public from Wednesday, 9 November after a ten-month cleaning at C2RMF, the nearby restoration and research centre for French museums. The in-depth conservation, which was scrutinized by the media and specialists because of earlier restorations of Leonardo’s work at the museum, refreshes what was “probably the most varnished painting in the Louvre’s collection”, according to a press release. While St John the Baptist had not been restored since 1802—shortly after it entered the Louvre’s collection—the painting had been regularly varnished since then. A primary objective of this restoration project has been to strip away around 15 layers of varnish that had yellowed and obscured the original painting’s subtleties and colour. Régina Moreira, who carried out the restoration of the painted material, also removed over-painting from previous restorations, including on the arms of the saint, his torso and the background. While the overall effect of the restoration is subtle, areas like the animal skin and Saint John’s curly hair are now more visible. Leonardo da Vinci's St John the Baptist (1513-16) before restoration The analysis during the cleaning process also provided insights into the painting’s condition and the artist’s working methods.
