{"text": "CROWDED TRADE POINTED TO PREAKNESS\nThe Klaravich Stables duo of Crowded Trade and Risk Taking worked in company through a half-mile in 47.55 Saturday at Belmont Park for trainer Chad Brown.\nBoth horses are exiting the Grade 2 Wood Memorial presented by Resorts World Casino on April 3 where they finished third and seventh, respectively.\n- Victor Carrasco: “All about the right horse”With Laurel Park about to hold its first stakes of the year, no local rider is hotter than Victor Carrasco, who is set to ride two stakes favorites.\n“Risk Taking took some dirt but he really didn’t have any excuse, he just didn’t fire,” said Brown. “Crowded Trade, he missed the break a bit, and that might have cost him a little bit, but he had an opportunity to run down the lane and he ran really well.”\nBrown said Crowded Trade is aiming towards a start in the Grade 1 Preakness, second leg of the Triple Crown, on May 15 at Pimlico Race Course. Brown captured the 2017 Preakness with Cloud Computing.\nBoasting a perfect in-the-money record in three starts, Crowded Trade won at first asking in January at Aqueduct ahead of a narrow nose defeat to Weyburn in the one-turn mile Grade 3 Gotham in March. Last out, the More Than Ready chestnut closed well to be third in the Wood in a race won by the late-running longshot Bourbonic.\nRisk Taking, a $240,000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase, captured the nine-furlong Grade 3 Withers in February at Aqueduct ahead of a seventh in the Wood Memorial as the post-time favorite. The Medaglia d’Oro bay is targeting a start in the Grade 3, $200,000 Peter Pan on May 8 at Belmont.\n“They both seem to have bounced out of the Wood in fine shape,” said Brown . “We’ll monitor them week to week, but they were moving well. I’m leaning towards the Preakness for Crowded Trade and with Risk Taking I’m leaning towards the Peter Pan.”\nBrown will be represented in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby by Klaravich Stables’ Highly Motivated, who will work at Keeneland on Sunday. The Into Mischief bay, a $240,000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase, graduated at second asking at Belmont in September ahead of winning the 6 1/2-furlong Nyquist at Keeneland in November.\nFollowing a third in the Grade 3 Gotham in his seasonal debut, Highly Motivated gave likely Derby favorite Essential Quality a test in the Grade 2 Blue Grass on April 3 at Keeneland, battling the 2-year-old champion down the lane en route to a narrow neck loss.\n“He’ll work a half-mile at Keeneland tomorrow,” said Brown. “I thought he ran terrific in the Blue Grass and he came out of it good.”\nBrown’s previous Kentucky Derby starters include Good Magic [2nd, 2018], Practical Joke [5th, 2017], Shagaf [20th, 2016], My Man Sam [11th, 2016] and Normandy Invasion [4th, 2013].\nWOOD MEMORIAL REPLAY\nLATEST NEWS"}

{"text": "cups-pdf requires user to create output folder before working correctly.\nBug Description\nBinary package hint: cups-pdf\nInstalling cups-pdf does not create a ~/PDF folder in the user directory. If you don't create the directory manually, the PDF printer does not work. I would think that cups-pdf should create the directory when it is installed.\nI'm running Ubuntu 8.10 with a fully updated system as of November 7th at 12:29 PM PST.\nI can also confirm this bug. Marking this bug as confirmed.\nThis bug is easily worked around by creating the /home/$USER/PDF folder yourself. If you create the folder and you still are not able to use cups-pdf, bug 295536 may be of interest to you.\nFYI, this work around is working in 8.10 for me. Thanks for the bug report.\nThere is some information relevant to this issue in Bug #134682. I was about to propose that we change the default to a directory like Desktop or Documents which come as default on an Ubuntu install and we can assume the user will have, unlike PDF. Unfortunately, cups-pdf's configuration doesn't understand things like\n\"XDG_DESKTOP_DIR\" so we run into issues with locales. We shouldn't be hard-codeing one language as that would break all others.\nConfirmed. Workaround works. Ubuntu 8.10 i386.\nIs this bug fixed in Jaunty?\nConfirmed Still busted in Jaunty-beta. Workaround works.\nWhy is this of low importance? The bug causes the package not to work at all.\nI tried to make a patch to solve the issue, but I got stuck. I wrote an email to the upstream author of cups-pdf Volker C. Behr. He pointed out some issue: and after checking his suggestions, it seems that one of his hunch is the winner: it is AppArmor. Try:\n1. Delete the PDF directory, then try to print. Won't work, as mentioned above.\n2. Stop AppArmor (sudo /etc/init.\nI have no clue what it is in AppArmor config, that causes this (I have very little knowledge of AppArmor), so this is beyond me. I guess this is an AppArmor bug.\nP.S.: Just for the record, Volker C. Behr replied in 20 minutes after I wrote the mail to him. So cheers and thanks to him from here too.\nRgds,\nAttila\nThe situation with AppArmor is a known issue that has been documented in /usr/share/\nWhy don't you change the default output direcory to the home dir instead? Sounds like it will avoid apparmor and locale issues.\nI can confirm that this bug occurs in Jaunty as well.\nI can also confirm the bug in Jaunty (stable).\n+1 Jaunty.\nSame problem on Jaunty.\nI agree with MyR, this bug should have a higher priority.\nThere isn't any warning or error message, so many users won't know why printing to PDF didn't work.\nMy suggestion would be to change the binary-package of this bug from cups-pdf to apparmor, because I think this is an apparmor bug.\nConfirmed still a problem with a new install of Jaunty.\ncups-pdf 2.5.0-1ubuntu1 PDF printer for CUPS\nThe failure to write to the ~./PDF directory can be confirmed with tail /var/log/\nmkdir .PDF from users home directory resolves.\nApparmor audit entry says:\nkernel: [ 1938.022085] type=1503 audit(124393316\nthe Apparmor profile /etc/apparmor.\n# we treat cups-pdf specially, since it needs to write into /home\n# and thus needs extra paranoia\n/usr/\n# separate profile since this needs to write into /home\n/\n/usr/share/** r,\n/var/\n/var/\n}\nIt would seem that there are rules to allow writing to ~./PDF and ~./PDF/*, but they are not working. I was not able to work out why.\nThis is a trivial problem for experienced users to solve, but as a usability issue for non-technical users it deserves a higher priority.\nWhile there is an out-of-box alternative 'print to file', select 'pdf' format, this may not be intuitive or clear for new users, as the documentation at https:/\nIs this bug fixed in Karmic?\nOn Jaunty, apparmor prevents cups-pdf from working. I have a ~/PDF folder, but unless I shut down apparmor cups-pdf print jobs just disappear, with this error in the logs:\n[ERROR] failed to set file mode for PDF file (non fatal)\nSo, creating ~/PDF is *not* sufficient to solve this...\nI can confirm what ward says in Jaunty.\n\"creating ~/PDF is *not* sufficient to solve this\"\nAppArmor is still preventing printing therefore the title of this bug report is misleading.\nYes, thats completely right. The only way to fix this is to either\nreconfigure the apparmor script in /etc/apparmor/ or tell cups to ignore\ncups-pdf. This is not just the problem about creating this folder.\nBrowneR wrote:\n> I can confirm what ward says in Jaunty.\n>\n> \"creating ~/PDF is *not* sufficient to solve this\"\n>\n> AppArmor is still preventing printing therefore the title of this bug\n> report is misleading.\n>\nYep, fix has been released in karmic.\nI think the hundredpapercuts task is invalid because cups-pdf doesn't come on a vanilla install of ubuntu.\nI still have this problema in Lucid. Same thing that happened when I installed Karmic.\nPDF folder is already in users home dir, everything seems fine, but nothing comes out when printing PDFs.\nroot@phenom:\nTue May 4 17:55:06 2010 [ERROR] failed to open source stream\nAs soon as I stop apparmor and restart cups and samba everything starts working like it should.\nI tried starting apparmor again and my system hang with LOADs of disk access, had to rebootit.\nAfter reboot, apparmor came up again with the same problem. So I just uninstalled apparmor.\nAlroger, please do not disable all of AppArmor-- there are a lot of profiles protecting your system that are unrelated to cups-pdf. Please see https:/\nSOLVED by the easiest way (Disabling cups apparmor profile)\nRun these commands ...\nmkdir $HOME/PDF\nmkdir $HOME/PDF\nsudo mv /etc/apparmor.\nsudo /etc/init.\n#26 : Ubuntu must be the easy way for a linux new user ... The normal user don't have idea that apparmor exists ... and you know it ... why they have to debug it ... The ubuntu packagers must test their software as the debian way and solve it during the alpha beta gamma testing ...\n@saisyukusanagi: Your last comment shows that:\n- you aren't using the latest Ubuntu. Upgrade it now.\n- you haven't noticed that this bug is actually fixed.\n- you haven't noticed that cups-pdf isn't installed by default and that this package comes from the universe repository so it doesn't need to be tested so much.\nPs. This comment isn't meant to be rude, but your comment just shows a lack of knowledge.\n@papukaija: this bug is *not* fixed. It's been a problem since intrepid, and it's still a problem in Lucid. Please read the entire thread.\nI'm running Lucid, fully up to date, and cups-pdf print jobs just disappear if apparmor is running.\n@papukaija:\n\"- you aren't using the latest Ubuntu.

Please open a new bug (with ubuntu-bug cups-pdf) after searching foe exinsting ones.\n@papukaija: Is the same freakin bug ... Don't you see?\n[ERROR] failed to create user output directory\n[ERROR] failed to create directory\nWhere is the PDF folder ... It doesn't work even if you do the mkdir ... And disable the apparmor cups context (in my case) is not the final solution.\nOff course ... I will open a new bug and begin the same redundant discussion ... yes ... after to install Debian Arch or another distro where the packager understand how much frustrating is to deal with things like these ...\nPlease forgive my terms ... i'm upset but no with you, my idea is not to do a flamewar ... (like Mark Shuttlework said: Ubuntu is not a democracy) I only want that any user expert or newbie want when there is a problem ... the simple solution. I'm not the only user with the problem. And it seems like we aren't listened\n@ward and @saisyukusanagi: This bug is fixed since Karmic. You can try to manually create a folder called \"PDF\" to your home directory. Plase note that cups-pdf need write access to your your home directory, for example a permission of 700 to your home folder would probably make cups-pdf fail to create the PDF directory. Start by resetting your home folder's permissions or run the following command from the terminal which changes the permissions to 701 (proven to work at https:/\nchmod 701 $HOME\nIf that doesn't help, then create manually the PDF folder using this command:\nrm -fr ~/PDF && mkdir -m 701 -p ~/PDF\n(it will first delete the existing pdf folder and then create a new one with 701 permissions)\nIf cups-pdf is still not working, then create a new user account and try to use cups-pdf. If that also fails, then please open a new bug (with ubuntu-bug cups-pdf) after searching for existing ones.\nBtw, this bug is a dupplicate of the above mentioned bus as stated in comment 22 (ward, I have read the all comments of this bug report).\nI can confirm the same Bug\nLinux username-laptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux"}

{"text": "Figures\nAbstract\nWe present for the first time that histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) regulates EGFR degradation and trafficking along microtubules in Pkd1 mutant renal epithelial cells. HDAC6, the microtubule-associated α-tubulin deacetylase, demonstrates increased expression and activity in Pkd1 mutant mouse embryonic kidney cells. Targeting HDAC6 with a general HDAC inhibitor, trichostatin (TSA), or a specific HDAC6 inhibitor, tubacin, increased the acetylation of α-tubulin and downregulated the expression of EGFR in Pkd1 mutant renal epithelial cells. HDAC6 was co-localized with EGF induced endocytic EGFR and endosomes, respectively. Inhibition of the activity of HDAC6 accelerated the trafficking of EGFR from early endosomes to late endosomes along the microtubules. Without EGF stimulation EGFR was randomly distributed while after stimulation with EGF for 30 min, EGFR was accumulated around α-tubulin labeled microtubule bundles. These data suggested that the Pkd1 mutation induced upregulation of HDAC6 might act to slow the trafficking of EGFR from early endosomes to late endosomes along the microtubules for degradation through deacetylating α-tubulin. In addition, inhibition of HDAC activity decreased the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, the downstream target of EGFR axis, and normalized EGFR localization from apical to basolateral in Pkd1 knockout mouse kidneys. Thus, targeting HDAC6 to downregulate EGFR activity may provide a potential therapeutic approach to treat polycystic kidney disease.\nCitation: Liu W, Fan LX, Zhou X, Sweeney WE Jr, Avner ED, Li X (2012) HDAC6 Regulates Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Endocytic Trafficking and Degradation in Renal Epithelial Cells.

EGF and EGF-like ligands are secreted into the apical medium of cultured cystic epithelial cells and are present in cyst fluid from ADPKD patients.[12], [13] Thus, in cystic epithelia, both receptors (ErbB1 and ErbB2) and ligands are expressed on the same side of the cell leading to sustained mitogenic signaling. In addition, increased expression of ErbB2 leads to the formation of ErbB1/ErbB2 heterodimers that also slows internalization and receptor degradation.[14].\nInhibition of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity either genetically or pharmacologically significantly reduces renal cyst formation and improves renal function in rodent models of PKD.[7], [11], [15] These observations suggest that persistent EGF signaling from the apical cell surface of renal epithelia is a primary disease progression factor in PKD. However, the mechanism(s) involved in EGF mediated EGFR stability and endocytic trafficking in cystic epithelial cells is unknown.\nLigand activated EGFR complexes on the apical cell surface are internalized into apical sorting endosomes (ASE) and apical recycling endosomal (AREs) intermediates and trafficked through a series of endocytic compartments where they are either recycled or sorted for proteolytic degradation in the lysosome.[16] Aberrant regulations of these complex sorting pathways have been linked to the development and progression of PKD.[14].\nMicrotubules, together with the microtubule-based motor proteins, kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein, are involved in sorting and transport of early endocytic vesicles to later stage endocytic compartments.[17], [18] Recent studies suggest that acetylation of α-tubulin, the component of microtubules, affects the stability of microtubule, which further regulates intracellular cargo transport.[17], [18], [19] Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is associated with the microtubule network and has been shown to regulate intracellular transport of EGFR containing vesicles in some cell types through its tubulin deacetylase activity.[16], [20] In HDAC6-deficient cells, the entire microtubule network becomes hyperacetylated.[19], [21], [22] Whether HDAC6 regulates EGFR endocytic trafficking and degradation through the microtubule mediated vesicular network in cystic epithelial cells is the subject of this study.\nIn this study, we present for the first time evidence to support the theory that HDAC6 regulates EGFR endocytic trafficking and degradation through modulation of tubulin acetylation in cystic renal epithelial cells. We found that the expression and activity of HDAC6 was upregulated in Pkd1 mutant renal epithelial cells. We further found that the stability of microtubules affected the reactive pattern of EGFR level after EGF stimulation in Pkd1 mutant kidney epithelial cells. Furthermore, HDAC6 inhibition leads to the stimulation of microtubule-dependent transport of EGFR containing vesicles and the degradation of EGFR, and normalizes EGFR localization from apical to basolateral.\nResults\nHDAC6 Expression is Increased in Pkd1 Mutant Kidney Epithelial Cells\nRecent evidence suggest that sorting and transport of early endocytic cargo to later stage endocytic compartments require microtubules, and HDAC6 may be involved in this process by regulating the stability of microtubules through deacetylating α-tubulin.[16], [20] We found that HDAC6 was up-regulated in DBA (dolichos biflorus agglutinin) positive Pkd1 mutant mouse embryonic kidney (MEK) epithelial cells compared to age-matched Pkd1 wild type MEK cells. HDAC6 expression was also increased in proximal tubule cells derived from postnatal day 24 (PN24) Pkd1 homozygous (Null) kidneys compared to proximal tubule cells derived from postnatal Pkd1 heterozygous kidneys (PH2) (Fig. 1A). In addition, we found that HDAC6 activity was significantly increased in Pkd1 mutant cystic epithelial cells compared with Pkd1 wild type and heterozygous control cells (Fig. 1B). HDAC6 expression was also increased in kidney tissues from well characterized, hypomorphic homozygous Pkd1nl/nl mice [23] harvested at postnatal days 7, 14 and 21, when compared to that in age matched Pkd1 wild type mouse kidneys (Fig. 1C). Our immunohistochemistry results further supported that HDAC6 was upregulated in cyst lining epithelia of Pkd1nl/nl mouse kidneys harvest at postnatal day 28 compared to that in the normal renal tubules of the age matched Pkd1 wild type mouse kidneys and the upregulated HDAC6 was localized in the cytosol, the site where HDAC6 was found in all the other cell types reported, of cystic epithelial cells (Fig. 1D). These results demonstrate an inverse relationship between PC1 expression and HDAC6 expression levels in renal epithelial cells.\n(A) Western blotting analysis of the expression expression of HDAC6 in the above cells was quantified from three independent immunoblots and was standardized to actin. ** p < 0.01. (B) The activity activity of HDAC6 was increased about 7.8 fold in Pkd1null/null (Null) MEK cells and 4.8 fold in postnatal Pkd1 homozygous PN24 cells compared with that in Pkd1 wild type MEK cells and postnatal Pkd1 heterozygous PH2 cells, respectively. The HDAC6 activity assay was performed in three independent experiments. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. (C) Western blotting analysis of the expression of HDAC6 in Pkd1 wild type and Pkd1 hypomorphic homozygous (Pkd1nl/nl) kidney tissues collected at postnatal days 7, 14, and 21. The relative expression levels of HDAC6 in different kidneys were standardized to actin and were presented in the lower panel. (D) Immunohistochemistry of HDAC6 in kidney sections from Pkd1 wild type and Pkd1nl/nl mice harvested at postnatal day 28. Scale bar, 20 µm.\nInhibition of HDAC6 Activity with Tubacin, a Specific HDAC6 Inhibitor, or TSA, a Pan HDAC Inhibitor, Decreased the Expression of EGFR in Renal Epithelial Cells\nEGFR has been found over-expressed and hyper-activated in human ADPKD epithelia and in mouse models of ADPKD.[3] To investigate whether the upregulated HDAC6 affected EGFR levels in kidney epithelial cells, we inhibited HDAC6 activity with either tubacin or TSA. We found that treatment with either tubacin or TSA decreased the levels of EGFR but increased the acetylation of α-tubulin in Pkd1 wild type and mutant kidney epithelial cells compared to untreated control cells (Fig. 2A–F). It is interesting to note that TSA treatment decreased the levels of EGFR in both Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells while tubacin treatment only decease the levels of EGFR in Pkd1 mutant MEK cells (Fig. 2A and 2B). In addition, we found that TSA treatment significantly increased the acetyl-α-tubulin staining in Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells as well as in PH2 and PN24 cells (data not show). Furthermore, knockdown of HDAC6 with pGIPZ lentiviral vector mediated HDAC6 shRNA in both Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells decreased the expression of EGFR and increased the acetylation of α-tubulin in MEK cells compared to the control MEK cells transduced with the empty vector (Fig. 3A and 3B). In addition, we found that knockdown of HDAC6 with shRNA did not reduce EGFR expression at mRNA level in Pkd1 null cells (Fig. 3C). These results suggested that HDAC6 might regulate the degradation of EGFR through deacetylation of α-tubulin.\n(A) and (B) Western blotting analysis of the expression of EGFR and acetyl-α-tubulin in Pkd1 wild-type (WT) MEK cells (A) and Pkd1null/null (Null) MEK cells (B) treated with or without tubacin. Tubacin (5 µM) treatment deceased the levels of EGFR in Pkd1 mutant MEK cells, but increased the acetyl-α-tubulin in both wild-type and mutant MEK cells. (C) and (D) Western blotting analysis of the expression of EGFR and acetyl-α-tubulin in Pkd1 wild-type (WT) MEK cells (C) and Pkd1null/null (Null) MEK cells (D) treated with or without TSA (100 ng/ml). TSA treatment decreased the levels of EGFR and increased the acetyl-α-tubulin in Pkd1null/null (Null) MEK cells. (E) and (F) TSA (200 ng/ml) has the same effect on the expression of EGFR and acetyl-α-tubulin in postnatal Pkd1 heterozygous PH2 and homozygous PN24 cells. * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01.\n(A) and (B) Western blotting analysis of the expression of HDAC6, EGFR and acetyl-α-tubulin in Pkd1 wild-type (WT) MEK cells (A) and Pkd1null/null (Null) MEK cells (B) transduced with lentiviral vector pGIPZ-shHDAC6 mediated HDAC6 shRNA or control lentiviral empty vector. The levels of EGFR were reduced and the levels of acetyl-α-tubulin were increased in HDAC6 knockdown cells. (C) EGFR expression at mRNA level in Pkd1 mutant (Null) MEK cells with HDAC6 shRNA or vector (control) was analyzed by real-time PCR. Knockdown HDAC6 with shRNA did not affect the transcription of EGFR. Average values from triplicated experiments were shown.\nHDAC6 Associated with the Endosomal Compartments in Kidney Epithelial Cells\nTo investigate the connection between HDAC6 and EGFR endocytic trafficking in renal epithelial cells, we first examined the association of HDAC6 with endocytic EGFR. Murine inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD3) cells were stimulated with EGF for 10 minutes, and EGFR labeled with EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 co-localized on the early endosomes labeled with EEA1, an early endosome marker (Fig. 4A). At the same time, HDAC6 also colocalized with a significant portion of early endosomes labeled by EEA1 (Fig. 4B) and EGF-Alexa Fluor 488, respectively (Fig. 4C). These results suggest that HDAC6 interacts with the early endosomal compartment and endocytic EGFR. After cells were stimulated with EGF for 60 minutes, both HDAC6 and EGFR were colocalized with later endosomes marked by LAMP2 (Fig. 4D–4F). Colocalization of HDAC6 with EGFR as well as early and later endosomes was also confirmed in postnatal Pkd1 homozygous PN24 cells stimulated with EGF for 10 and 60 minutes (Fig. 5A–5F). In addition, we found that without EGF stimulation EGFR was randomly distributed in Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells as well as in postnatal Pkd1 heterozygous PH2 and homozygous PN24 cells stained with anti-EGFR antibody (Fig. 6A). However, after stimulation with EGF for 30 min, EGFR accumulated around microtubule bundles in renal epithelial cells as shown by labeled α-tubulin staining (Fig. 6B) and this distribution pattern disappeared with EGF treatment for 60 minutes (data not shown).\n(A) mIMCD3 cells were serum-starved overnight and then mIMCD3) mIMCD3 cells were treated and processed as in (A) except using anti-HDAC6 antibody. Image in zoom shows the colocalization of EGFR (green) with HDAC6 (red). (D) mIMCD cells were treated with 80 ng/ml EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 for 60 min and then stained with anti-LAMP2 antibody.

Image in zoom shows the colocalization of EGFR (green) with HDAC6 (red). (D) PN24 cells were treated with 80 ng/ml EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 for 60 min and then stained with anti-LAMP2 antibody.

Image in zoom shows the example of the colocalization of EGFR (green) with HDAC6 (red).\n(A) EGFR was randomly distributed without EGF stimulation. Four kinds of renal epithelial cells (WT, Null, PH2, PN24) were serum-starved overnight and were then treated with 0.005% saponin before staining with anti-EGFR (green) and anti-acetyl-α-tubulin (red) antibodies. (B) EGFR was accumulated around microtubules following EGF stimulation. Serum-starved renal epithelial cells were stimulation with EGF for 30 min. The cells were then processed for immunostaining as in (A). EGFR (green) was accumulated around microtubule bundles labeled by acetyl-α-tubulin staining (red).\nInhibition of HDAC Activity Increased the Transport of the Activated EGFR from the Early Endosomes to Late Endosomes/Lysosomes\nWe investigated whether HDAC6 affected EGFR transport from early endosomes to late endosomes/lysosomes by inhibiting HDAC6 activity with TSA. We found that although the degree of colocalization of EGFR with early endosome marker EEA1 decreased with time in mIMCD3 and PN24 cells stimulated with EGF alone (Fig. 7A and 7B), the percentage of vesicles which were positive for both EGFR and EEA1 decreased more quickly in these cells after cotreatment with EGF and TSA (Fig. 7A and 7B). We further found that more EGFR was co-localized with the late endosome and lysosome marker LAMP2 in mIMCD3 and PN24 cells upon co-treatment with EGF and TSA at later time points (Fig. 7C and 7D). These findings suggested that inhibition of HDAC activity accelerated the transport of the activated EGFR from the early endosomes to late endosomes/lysosomes.\n(A) mIMCD3 cells were serum-starved and then stimulated with 100 ng/ml EGF for indicated periods of time. The cells were then processed for double-labeling immunostaining with anti-EEA1 and anti-EGFR antibodies. Localization of EGFR to the EEA1-containing vesicles was analyzed. (B) PN24 cells were serum-starved and then stimulated with 100 ng/ml EGF for indicated periods of time. The cells were then processed for immunostaining as in (A). Localization of EGFR to the EEA1-containing vesicles was analyzed. (C) mIMCD3 cells were processed for double-labeling immunostaining with anti-LAMP2 and anti-EGFR antibodies. Co-localization of EGFR to LAMP-2-containing vesicles was examined. (D) PN24 cells were processed for double-labeling immunostaining with anti-LAMP2 and anti-EGFR antibodies. Co-localization of EGFR to LAMP-2-containing vesicles was examined. * p < 0.05.\nMicrotubule Stability Affected EGF Induced EGFR Degradation\nDeacetylation of α-tubulin by HDAC6 has been reported to destabilize microtubules and decrease motor binding.[19], [24] To determine whether microtubule stability affects EGFR degradation in renal epithelial cells, we treated Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells with nocodazole, which depolymerizes microtubules. Since ligand-induced degradation is the primary mechanism that controls EGFR levels, we also determined if microtubule stability affects EGFR degradation in response to EGF. Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells were treated with 0.2 µg/ml of nocodazole and/or 100 ng/ml of EGF. As expected, EGF alone induced the degradation of EGFR in Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells. However, EGF-induced EGFR degradation was strikingly attenuated in Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells treated with nocodazole for 2 hours (Fig. 8A and 8B). We further found that treatment with nocodazole strikingly decreased the transport of EGFR from early endosomes to late endosomes in Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells (p < 0.05) (Fig. 9A-9D). These results together with the finding that HDAC6 deficiency induces microtubule hyper-acetylation and promotes microtubule-mediated endocytic vesicle transport [16], [20] suggest that microtubule-mediated endocytic vesicle transport affects EGF induced EGFR degradation.\n(A) and (B) Influence of nocodazole on EGF-induced EGFR degradation. Pkd1 wild-type (WT) MEK cells (A) and Pkd1null/null (Null) MEK cells (B) were pretreated with 10 µg/ml cycloheximide for 2 hours. Pretreated cells were treated with 0.2 µg/ml nocodazole and/or 100 ng/ml EGF for another 2 hours. EGF-induced EGFR degradation was strikingly attenuated after co-treatment with EGF and nocodazole, which disturbed the stability of microtubule. * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01.\n(A) Pkd1 wild type MEK cells were serum-starved and preteated with nocodazole (0.2 µg/ml) for 30 min. The pretreated cells were further treated with nocodazole and 80 ng/ml EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 for indicated periods of time. Then, cells were stained with anti-EEA1 antibody. Localization of EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 to the EEA1-containing vesicles was analyzed. * p < 0.05. (B) Pkd1 mutant (Null) MEK cells were treated, processed for immunostaining, and analyzed as in (A). * p < 0.05. (C) Pkd1 wild type MEK cells were treated as in (A) and then processed for immunostaining with anti-LAMP2 antibodies. Co-localization of EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 to LAMP-2-containing vesicles was examined. * p < 0.05. (D) Pkd1 mutant (Null) MEK cells were treated, processed for immunostaining with anti-LAMP2 antibodies, and analyzed as in (C). * p < 0.05.\nInhibition of HDAC Activity Decreased the Phosphorylation of ERK and Normalized EGFR Localization from Apical to Basolateral in Pkd1 Knockout Mouse Kidneys\nThe EGFR axis is considered to act primarily through activation of the MAPK (RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK) pathway.[15] Since inhibition of HDAC6 activity increased the degradation of EGFR in renal epithelial cells, we suspected that it might also affect EGFR mediated ERK activation characterized with the levels of the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. To support this hypothesis, we found that knockdown HDAC6 with shRNA (Fig. 10A) or inhibition of HDAC6 activity with TSA (Fig. 10B) demonstrated a developmental decrease in EGFR and correlated with a substantial decreased phospho-ERK1/2 in cystic epithelial cells treated with EGF.\n(A) Knockdown HDAC6 with shRNA increases the degradation of EGFR and decreases the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Serum-starved PN24 cells transduced with lentiviral plasmid pGIPZ-shHDAC6 or control empty vector pGIPZ-NS, were pretreated with 10 µg/ml cycloheximide for 2 hours and then stimulated with 100 ng/ml EGF for indicated times. (B) Inhibition of HDAC6 activity with TSA decreases the activation of EGFR and ERK1/2 . PN24 cells were pretreated with 100 ng/ml TSA for 12 hours and then starved for another 12 hours with TSA. After that, the cells were stimulated with 100 ng/ml EGF in the presence of 10 µg/ml cycloheximide and TSA for indicated times. (C) and (D) Treatment with TSA normalized the mislocalized EGFR from apical to basolateral in cystic epithelia in postnatal day 7 (P7) kidneys from Pkd1flox/flox:ksp-Cre pups. Immunohistochemical staining of EGFR in P7 kidney sections from Pkd1flox/flox:ksp-Cre neonates treated with DMSO (C) or TSA (D). Arrows pointed to apical (C) and basolateral (D) regions, respectively. Scale bar, 20 µm.\nThe mislocalization of the EGFR from basolateral to apical is known to occur in kidneys of both humans and mice and is a common end point associated with several different forms of polycystic kidney disease that are initiated by mutations in different genes.[7] We provided evidence that upregulated HDAC6 regulated EGFR endocytic trafficking and degradation in cystic epithelial cells. We suspected that upregulated HDAC6 might also contribute to the mislocalization of the apical EGFR on cyst lining epithelia. To test this hypothesis, we treated Pkd1flox/flox:Ksp-cre pups with 0.5 µg/g TSA or DMSO (control) daily from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P6 and harvested the kidneys at postnatal day 7 (P7). Immunohistochemical staining of the control DMSO treated kidneys illustrates the expression of EGFR on apical cell surfaces of cystic epithelia (Fig. 10C). In contrast, treatment with TSA significantly increased the basolateral localization of EGFR on cystic epithelia (Fig. 10D), which suggested that inhibition of HDAC activity could normalize the mislocalized EGFR from apical to basolateral.\nDiscussion\nIn this study, we provided the first evidence that 1) HDAC6 regulates EGFR intracellular trafficking and degradation in renal epithelial cells through HDAC6 mediated α-tubulin deacetylation and microtubule stability; 2) inhibition of HDAC activity normalizes apical EGFR to basolateral in Pkd1 conditional knockout mouse model. We found that HDAC6 was up-regulated in Pkd1 mutant MEK cells and in Pkd1 hypomorphic homozygous (Pkd1nl/nl) kidney tissues (Fig. 1A–1D). Pharmacologic and shRNA mediated inhibition of HDAC6 decreased the levels of EGFR in renal epithelial cells (Fig. 2 and 3). We further found that HDAC6 regulated EGFR intracellular trafficking and degradation along microtubules in normal and mutant renal epithelial cells by mediating microtubule acetylation and stability since 1) inhibition of HDAC6 activity by pharmacological and shRNA mediated inhibition increased EGFR endocytic trafficking from early endosomes to later endosomes and increased the degradation of EGFR (Fig. 3 and 7); 2) treatment with nocodazole, which depolymerized microtubules, decreased the degradation of EGFR in Pkd1 mutant MEK cells stimulated with EGF (Fig. 8) and EGFR endocytic trafficking from early endosomes to later endosomes and (Fig. 9); 3) pharmacological and shRNA mediated inhibition of HDAC6 also decreased the expression of phospho-ERK1/2, a EGFR axis mediated downstream target (Fig. 10A and 10B). In addition, inhibition of HDAC activity with TSA normalized the localization of EGFR from apical to basolateral of the cystic epithelial cells in Pkd1 conditional knockout mouse kidneys (Fig. 10C and 10D). Thus, targeting HDAC6 to downregulate EGFR and its downstream targets as well as to normalize its localization from apical to basolateral may be a potential therapeutic approach for polycystic kidney disease.\nRecent studies suggest that sorting and transport of early endocytic cargos to later stage endocytic compartments require microtubules, and HDAC6 may be involved in this process since HDAC6 destabilizes microtubules by deacetylating α-tubulin.[16], [19], [20] Inactivation of HDAC6 leads to dramatic stabilization and accumulation of acetylated microtubules.[24] Enhanced microtubule stability leads to the recruitment of molecular motors kinesin-1 and cytoplasmic dynein to microtubules thereby stimulating anterograde and retrograde vesicle transport including EGF stimulated EGFR.[17] The increased expression of HDAC6 and mislocalization of EGFR in cystic renal epithelial cells led us to explore the relationship between HDAC6 and EGFR in cystic epithelial cells. The data presented in this study demonstrate that HDAC6 contributes to increased expression of EGFR by disrupting microtubule mediated EGFR degradation in cystic epithelial cells. Our results show that inhibition of HDAC6 activity with TSA or HDAC6 shRNA significantly decreased the levels of EGFR and also decreased the EGFR axis mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in Pkd1 mutant renal epithelial cells. These data suggest that upregulation of HDAC6 may play a role in upregulating apical EGFR stability leading to prolonged EGFR signaling that facilitates cyst formation.\nPrevious reports from our laboratory demonstrated that inhibition of HDAC activity with TSA prevent renal cyst formation through targeting MEF2C or Id2 signaling, respectively.[25], [26] Our results that inhibition of HDAC activity with TSA could significantly normalize the mislocalized EGFR from apical to basolateral suggested a third possible mechanism for HDAC in mediating cyst development.\nIn sum, our study identified HDAC6 as a key component of the endocytic trafficking network in renal epithelial cells. The most exciting result related to translational application is that inhibition of HDAC6 activity with its specific inhibitor, tubacin, decreased the levels of EGFR and might also normalize the mislocalized EGFR in Pkd1 mutant MEK cells. Thus, targeting HDAC6 to downregulate EGFR and also normalize EGFR localization may be a potential therapeutic approach to treat polycystic kidney disease.\nConcise Methods\nCell Culture and Reagents\nIMCD3 (murine inner medullary collecting duct) cells, HEK-293T cells were maintained at 37°C in 5% CO2 in DMEM (Invitrogen, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) positive Pkd1 wild type and Pkd1 null cells mouse embryonic kidney (MEK) cells were maintained as previously described.[27] Pkd1 heterozygous PH2 and homozygous PN24 cells were kindly provided by Dr. Stefan Somlo (Yale University).[28] In brief, Pkd1 cell lines were derived from a single Pkd1flox/− carrying a conditionally immortalizing, temperature and interferon-γ responsive transgene (H-2Kb-tsA58; ImmortoMouse, Charles River). Pkd1−/− were produced from Pkd1flox/− cells by transient transfection with a plasmid expressing the Cre recombinase. Passage numbers were kept below 20 for all cell lines. Cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% FBS and γ-interferon (5 U/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, MO) at 33°C and 5% CO2.[28] Trichostatin A (TSA), cycloheximide, nocodazole and saponin were purchased from Sigma-Adrich.\nWestern Blot and Immunofluorescence\nWestern blotting was performed on whole-cell lysates as described by the manufacturer (Upstate Biotechnology, NY). The antibodies used for Western blotting and Immunofluorescence included anti-EGFR antibody (Cell Signaling technologies, MA; Santa Cruz, CA); anti-HDAC6 antibodies (Millipore, MA); anti-EEA1 (Santa Cruz, CA); anti-LAMP2 (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); anti-acetylated-α-tubulin, anti-actin antibody (Sigma, MO). Donkey-anti-rabbit, donkey-anti-mouse, donkey-anti-goat IgG-horseradish peroxidase (Santa Cruz, CA) were used as secondary antibodies for Western blotting. EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 was purchased from Invitrogen (Invitrogen, CA). Fluro488-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit IgG antibody, Fluro555-conjugated anti-mouse, anti-rabbit, anti-goat, anti-rat IgG antibody (Invitrogen, CA) were used as secondary antibodies for immunofluorescence. Immunofluorescence images were obtained with a NIKON ECLIPSE 80i Microscope. For saponin treatment, cells were first rinsed with cold PBS three times and incubated with 0.005% (w/v) saponin that was made freshly in 4 °C PBS. Saponin treatment lasted 5 min on ice and was stopped by quickly rinsing the cells three times with cold PBS. Then regular immunostaining procedures were applied. For EGF treatment, cells were serum-starved overnight and then treated with EGF (100 ng/ml) or EGF-Alexa Fluor 488 (80 ng/ml).\nHDAC6 Knockdown by Lentivirus Carrying HDAC6 shRNA\nHEK293T cells were cotransfected with lentiviral plasmid pGIPZ-siHDAC6 or control empty vector pGIPZ-NS, psPAX2 packaging plasmid, and pMD2.G envelope plasmid using calcium phosphate. Twelve hours later, medium containing the transfection reagent was removed and replaced with fresh complete DMEM medium plus 10% FBS and penicillin/streptomycin. Forty-eight hours later, cultures containing lentiviral particles were harvested from HEK293T cells. Pkd1 wild type and mutant MEK cells and PN24 cells were then infected with appropriate amounts of lentiviral particles together with 5 µg/ml polybrene (Sigma, MO). Twenty-four hours later, virus-containing medium was removed and replaced with fresh medium plus 5 µg/ml puromycin. Two days after selection, all the cells are GFP positive, which indicates the efficiency of transduction. Five days after infection, cells were harvested and analyzed by Western blot to examine the efficiency of HDAC6 knockdown.\nQuantitative Reverse-transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction\nHADC6 was stable knockdown in Pkd1 mutant (Null) MEK cells. Cells were washed quickly with PBS, and total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy plus mini kit (Qiagen Germanton, MD). One micrograms of total RNA were used for reverse transcription reactions in a 20 µl reaction to synthesize cDNA using Iscript cDNA synthesis kit (BioRad, Hercules, CA). RNA expression profile was analyzed by real-time PCR using iTaq SYBER Green supermix with ROX (BioRad) and carried in an icycler iQTM Real-time PCR detection system. Genes were amplified using the following primers. EGFR-F: 5′-ATCAAAGTTCTGGGTTCGGG-3′; EGFR-R: 5′-GTTGGCTTTTGGAGATGTGG-3′; Actin-F 5′-AAGAGCTATGAGCTGCCTGA-3′; Actin-R: 5′-TACGGATGTCAACGTCACAC-3′. The complete reactions were subjected to the following program of thermal cycling: 40 cycles of 10s at 95°C and 20s at 63°C, a melting curve was run after the PCR cycles, followed by a cooling step. Each sample was run in triplicated in every experiment, and each experiment was repeated three times. The expression level of EGFR was normalized to the expression level of actin.\nMouse Strain and Treatment\nPkd1nl mice were generated as described.[23] Homozygous Pkd1nl mice, with only 13–20% normally spliced Pkd1 transcripts caused by an intronic neomycin-selectable marker, are viable, showing bilaterally enlarged polycystic kidneys. Pkd1-floxed:Ksp-cre mice were generated as described.[28] Each Pkd1 flox/flox:Ksp-cre pup was injected with 0.5 µg/g TSA or DMSO (control) daily from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P6. All the kidneys were harvested at postnatal day 7 (P7) for further analysis.\nImmunohistochemistry\nFor HDAC6 staining, kidneys were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde overnight. Polyclonal goat anti-HDAC6 antibody (1∶40, Santa Cruz, CA), a peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody (1∶200, Sigma, MO), and DAB (3,3′-diaminabenzidine tetrahydrochloride) substrate system were used. For EGFR staining, kidneys were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 60 min at 4°C, then stepwise dehydrated in acetone, and embedded in resin blocks using a Immuno-Bed Kit (Polyscience Inc., Warrington, PA). 3 µM sections were then cut, and immunohistochemical staining of the EGFR was conducted using the rabbit polyclonal anti-EGFR antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) (1∶50). Images were analyzed with a NIKON ECLIPSE 80i Microscope.\nHDAC6 Enzymatic Activity Assay\nThe measurement of HDAC6 activity from cell lysates of Pkd1 wild type, heterozygous and homozygous renal epithelial cell lines was carried out with a commercially available assay kit (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI) with modification. In brief, sub-confluent cells were washed twice and collected in PBS. Cells were solubilized with 20 mM Tris/HCl buffer (pH 7.5) containing 137 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 1%Triton x-100 and protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Indianapolis, IN). Cell lysates from different cell types were incubated on ice for 10 min followed by sonication, and then centrifuged at 16000 g for 15 min at 4°C. Same amount of cell lysates (2 mg) from different cell types were then incubated with anti-HDAC6 antibody pre-coupled beads, in that anti-HDAC6 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotech, SC-5258) was coupled to 20% protein G agarose beads (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) in PBS in the presence of 5 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (Sigma, MO) for 6 hours at 4°C, overnight at 4°C. The next day, immunocomplex beads were washed four times with lysis buffer and resuspended in 140 µl HDAC assay buffer. Each immunoprecipitant was incubated with 200 µM acetylated fluorogenic substrate in HDAC6 assay buffer at 37°C. After 30 min, the lysine developer was added, and the mixture was incubated for another 15 min at room temperature. The enzyme activity was monitored using a fluorimetric assay. Fluorescence was measured using a TECAN infinite M200 PRO microplate reader (Tecan, Research Triangle Park, NC) with excitation at 360 nm and emission at 460 nm.\nStatistics\nData are presented as mean ± Standard error. An unpaired 2-tailed student’s t test was used to determine the significant differences. A P value less than 0.05 is considered significant.\nEthics Statement\nThis study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. The protocol was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of Medical College of Wisconsin (Permit Number: AUA1152).\nAcknowledgments\nWe are grateful for cell lines PH2 and PN24 provided by Dr. S.

{"text": "He was born at Ponciau on 10 February 1898, the son of James Jones and Elizabeth Bowyer. He was a brother to James Idwal Jones MP (1900—1982). He received his early education at Ponciau Boys' School and began work as a coalminer at the Bersham colliery at fourteen years of age, earning just twelve shillings a week. He thus followed in the footsteps of his father. It was this background which made him such an ardent Socialist and the champion of the miners throughout his life. As a result of much persuasion from his former headmaster, he became a pupil—teacher in August 1914, later joining the Non—Combatant Corps as a conscientious objector in 1917. As a result of his refusal to obey an order, he was court—martialled in December of the same year and was then imprisoned until May 1919. He undertook six months hard labour. Jones then became a student at Bangor Normal College, 1920—22, where he qualified as a certified teacher, was a schoolmaster from 1922 until 1940, and was a welfare officer with the Ministry of Labour, 1940—46. In 1946 he was appointed a welfare, education and public relations officer with the North Wales Power and Electric Co., a body which became MANWEB in 1951, and he thus became responsible for the welfare of all the workers transferred from the cities to the factories of north Wales. This work brought him into regular contact with the problems of the working classes and helped to formulate his views as a Labour politician. He became a JP for Denbighshire in 1937 at the age of 39 (the youngest ever working-class JP in the old county of Denbighshire) and served as chairman of the Ruabon bench of magistrates for twenty years.\nJones had joined the ILP in 1919 and served as the chairman of both the Wrexham Trades Council and the North Wales Labour Federation. He was short—listed as a prospective parliamentary candidate for Anglesey in 1931, but withdrew in favour of Megan Lloyd George, the Independent Liberal candidate and sitting MP for the county. He unsuccessfully contested Merioneth in the Labour interest in the general election of 1935 against Henry Haydn Jones, the sitting Liberal MP, and captured the division in 1951, serving as MP until his retirement in 1966. He always believed that one of his foremost achievements as an MP was to persuade the government of the day to bring Bala lake into public ownership. He was also instrumental in persuading the Central Electricity Board to establish a nuclear power station at Trawsfynydd and in getting the pump storage scheme set up at Blaenau Ffestiniog. These were two areas of high unemployment. He had served as chairman of the Welsh group of Labour MPs and of the North Wales Labour Federation.\nHe then entered the House of Lords as Baron Maelor of Rhos (life peerage), remaining active in the upper house until his health deteriorated in 1981, and continuing to support causes that would benefit the Welsh people. One of his major campaigns was to fight to retain ‘the Welsh Sunday’ when he tabled an amendment to exclude Wales from the provisions of the Sunday Entertainments Bill sponsored in the upper house by Lord Willis. During the Investiture ceremony of the Prince of Wales at Caernarfon castle in July 1969, Lord Maelor carried one of the cushions bearing the royal crown and ring which were duly handed over to the Queen during the ceremony. In 1981 he was hailed as the singing Baron after making history by becoming the first ever person to sing in the House of Lords while narrating a story which involved a song. He was considered a strong personality in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. He was a fervent Socialist and campaigner for miners' causes. He published a volume of reminiscences, Fel Hyn y bu, in 1970. He married on 1 January 1928 Flossy, the daughter of Jonathan Thomas of Birkenhead, who predeceased him. A son and a daughter survived him. The family lived at Ger—y—Llyn, Ponciau, Wrexham, and at Bro Hedd, Clarke Street, Ponciau, Wrexham. He died in a fire at his Wrexham home on 18 November 1984 when he was found to be dead on arrival at the War Memorial Hospital at Wrexham. His remains were cremated at Pentrebychan Crematorium.\nT. W. Jones was considered as essentially a miners' MP who focused his parliamentary activities on Welsh industrial issues and was always a fervent campaigner for the miners' cause. Throughout his life he was viewed as a colourful and often controversial figure. Outside Westminster he was much in demand as a powerful orator in both Welsh and English, and was also prominent in the affairs of both the National Eisteddfod and the International Eisteddfod. He was admitted to the Gorsedd of Bards in 1962 and a little later was chosen president of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. He wrote poetry and published several monographs, including a study of parliament Y Senedd (1969) and a life of the American President Thomas Jefferson (1980). He was a prominent figure in the cultural, social and political life of Wales for very many years. He was also a local lay preacher and a humorist who liked to boast that he had served in two of Britain's toughest jails — Wormwood Scrubs and Dartmoor.\nPublished date: 2009-07-27\nArticle Copyright:"}

{"text": "Julia Garrison Carrying On At The Sarah Elizabeth Shop\nDear Joey,\nI love what you do. I’m writing you because you seem to be a more important source of news in Gloucester than any other blog or publication around. Many people have come in to the shop since Kathy posted Isabel Natti’s Sailor’s Valentine telling me that they came because they saw the shop mentioned on \"Good Morning Gloucester\". There are a lot of people who are inspired by what you do and by your enthusiasm and I want to thank you for sharing it online.\nI wanted to let you know that Isabel’s son and her partner Italo asked me to carry on printing her work and my own on the Acorn Press at 5 Whistlestop Mall in Rockport. I am a decorative painter, printmaker and fabric designer and have been using her press to do my work off and on for 12 years. I grew up with her nephew Matt Natti in Lanesville and had been a friend of hers since about 2000. Right now, I’m working on restructuring the business in a way that honors the traditions of her work but also brings it to a contemporary audience. Because I have another career as a set painter for film and television, this is something I do when I’m not busy working. I plan on keeping weekend hours but directing the majority of the business to the web. Her cards and other work are being carried by The Cape Ann Historical Museum Gift Shop, Alexandra’s Bread, Toad Hall Books and Turtle Alley in addition to the Sarah Elizabeth Shop in Rockport and the website\nIsabel’s work continues to be made and block printing in this area has not died with her. The press and shop are an important mainstay of the area that I am determined to keep open one way or another. So please visit the shop again and see what I am trying to do there. I’d appreciate it if people knew the continuation of her story and continued to support this very special, native craft.\nThis is a photo of me taken by Kathy Chapman 3 weeks ago, about a week after the family gave me the keys. I’m very happy and honored to be given the opportunity to print a very talented woman’s art as well as my own. Thank you to the Natti family for their dedication to the art and to her.\nThanks for all your good work for the community.\nRegards,\nJulia Garrison\nJulia- So happy to hear you’re continuing the tradition. Good Luck!\nWonderful News!!!! I will look forward to visiting the shop when I am back home in August & showing my work at the GMG gallery. Great job, Julia – you have amazing energy!\nWe will need to catch up when you are back in town, Helen! I’m just up the street at 2 Clarendon!\nWow, this just made my day! Julia, I saw you at the memorial service for Isabel and meant to say ‘Hi!” I am happy to hear that another artist and Lanesville native will be taking over the Sarah Elizabeth shop in Isabel’s place. My heart sank when I heard that the shop might be closing for good. I wish you much luck and happiness in your new venture. I’ll swing by sometime to say Hi for real!\nPeace and blessings,\nNate Grace\nDear Julia,\nWe had 2 wonderful conversations with Isabel in September on our annual Cape Ann vacation. And Italo admired our rented Fiat 500.\nWe are so happy to hear that you will carry on the great Folly Cove tradition and we will make a point of stopping by and buying on our next visit.\nSem C. Sutter & John Q. Easton\nWashington DC\njulia, you da bomb! smart and beautiful as you are tall, even when you were a lot shorter.\nlove, uncle fred\nCongratulations, Julia!\nGreat to see the tradition continue!\nTim Holloran (Sarah Elizabeth’s son)\nJulia – Thanks for taking over the press in whatever time you have available. Great to know you are carrying on a great artistic tradition!"}

{"text": "The image on the left is the J.R.Limited Express that operates on the Takayama Main Line between the cities of Nagoya and Toyama. Both of these cities are on the Japan Rail Network giving you good access from wherever in Japan you are coming from.\nIf you are planning on driving to Takayama, then the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway would be your quickest way but, if you want to see/experience some great Japanese Scenery (and have the time), then come via one of the many National Highway Roads that access the area. And, last-but-not-least, buses. Like the rail network, the bus-service to/from Takayama is second-to-none with regular services linking the area with Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya, as-well-as Kanazawa, Toyama and Matsumoto. This guide will give you a better indication as to how to get here - \"Getting to Takayama\".\nYou have worked-out how to get here, now your next step is to find somewhere to stay. Takayama has quite a selection of hotels to choose from, all providing high-quality service and located throughout the inner city and surrounding area. I shall let the folks at \"Takayama Guide\" impress you with what is available.\nIf you are looking for accommodation in the traditional category, then I would recommend a Ryokan. To find what is available, and at what cost, Takayama Ryokan Association will be of assistance. If you want something a little downbeat from the Ryokan, the Minshuku is your best bet - roughly equivalent to the English Bed-and- Breakfast. Hida-Takayama Minshuku Association will be of assistance.\nIf you are on a budget, there is a huge range of hostels available, including a Youth Hostel. This is a good 'site to help with selecting a hostel - Hostels in Hida-Takayama. If a member of your touring-party is the family dog, then you can't go past the Takayama Wan-Wan Paradise Hotel. Set in amongst the forest and located on the mountains that border Gifu and Nagano Prefectures, this is the perfect hotel (you don't have to have a dog to stay here). The restaurant, serving traditional Japanese fare, are top quality. The Onsen I would class as the best I have experienced in my time living in Japan.\nNow doesn't the above image look delicious? Traditional Japanese Cuisine is very healthy and tasty (that's coming from someone who has been eating it for the past 8-years) and Hida-Takayama has many restaurants for you to experience. I won't post any names but leave it up to you to discover where to eat. But let me say this, in Japan food quality is second-to-none in the world. There are also a few Western Restaurants & cafes for that something that reminds you of back home.\nNow the all-important paragraph - what to do in Takayama. This 'site will give you access to the Takayama Practicle Guide Map (English) and, as you can see, there is not a shortage of sights to see/experience.\nIf you are an early-bird, then head off down to the Morning Market (6am-to-noon), in the area around Takayama-jinya. This is one of the largest markets of it's kind in Japan and has been in operation for over 300-years. Then, after you have purchased some fresh fruit or a souvenir (or two), pop-around the corner to the Sanmachi Village. These old houses, dating back to the Edo Period, have been faithfully restored to their (almost) original state. Don't be in a hurry. There are so many wee gems of shops to discover and you never know what you will find.\nBy now your stomach is sending you a message - \"I'm hungry\". The Fukyuan Cafe is located off a side-street, that itself is off a side-street that is off the main street (check the map for location) and is a quaint wee establishment that sells, apart from great coffee, small trinkets e.t.c. It has an English menu and specializes in Japanese sweets. While here, take the time to plan the remainder of your day. If you want to experience more of the historical aspect of Hida-Takayama, I would recommend the Takayama Local History Museum, or the Higashiyama Temple Area or Takayama-jinya.\nIf you are a fellow \"outdoorholic\", like myself, and you have packed your hiking, mountain-biking or skiing gear for your vacation, all I can say is - \"Welcome to Paradise\". Hida-Takayama is nestled-amongst the Hida Mountains, which themselves are encompassed by the Japanese Alps. Whatever your fancy - a stroll amongst nature, off-the-beaten-track, hair-raising - there is sure to be something here to satisfy your addiction. If you want to do you own thing, then surf-through Diddlefinger Maps-Japan. Using \"Google Maps\", this 'site uses English for place-names, in place of Kanji (in most cases). But, if you want something more organized/planned, let me recommend two -\nThe Goshikigahara Hermit Road, situated in the foothills of magnificent Mt Norikura (Map Location), provides the hiker with three options to explore the \"luxurious nature which has not been explored for a long time\". For a small fee, you will be provided with a guide and will include bus-fare in the park as-well-as guide book. The tour is limited to two persons with a maximum of ten.\nNow if this image on the right turns you on, and you are keen to check-out the local slopes, Takayama is the place. This website - Skiing and Snowboarding. - should be of use.\nI have covered many activities for you to see/experience in Hida-Takayama. Unfortunately I have had to omit mentioning many (maybe that will give you an idea of what is available) but, if you surf-through some of the websites attached, I am sure you will find something that will satisfy your tastes.\nI would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge those who have allowed me to use their websites and images in this blog.\nHI i;ll like to thank you for your website since I've been looking everywhere for info about takayama esp goshiki.\nDo you know when the tours in the park are opened? we are two people planning to go there at the begining of april 2013 and I'll really love to see some outdoors hiking if weather permits. I know their skyline is opened later due to snow but i want to do the hermit road. did you do it? if yrs, the brdige above is it from the waterfall or pond tours?\nthanks for any reply!\nHi Cherly ip,\nThank you for reading my blog. Takayama is a very lovely destination to holiday in. There is so much to see,do & experience. As I was only there for two days I didn't manage to see an much as I would have liked.\nSo,in answer to your enquiry,I shall put you onto someone who would be better equipped to help you.\nHis name is Akila Tanaka and is involved with the Takayama Municipal Office - tanaka.akila@facebook.com He is a very nice man and there isn't much he doesn't know about regarding the area.\nIf you are planning on including the Kansai Area (Kyoto,Nara,Osaka)on your trip,let me know.\nRegards,\nBarry.\nthank you! we will be in koyto as well. anywhere you recommend? I had to cancel the goshiki part since not opened until may :( for another time i guess . i'll deifnitely keep the info for mr tanaka. it might become handy! must be nice to live in japan :)\nCherly ip,\nPlease forgive me for my late response to your message. You ask \"anywhere you recommend?\". Well, how much time do you plan to be in Kyoto? I say that as there is plenty to see/experience in this area, whether it is within the city or out in the countryside.Kyoto City is a very beautiful place.\nIf I can be of any assistance, for when you plan your Kyoto trip, please let me know.\nRegards,\nBarry."}

{"text": "This self-important tale of woe recalls a producer's real-life travails when he couldn't sell his finished indie film nor pay his many creditors. In Philippe Caland plays, directs and reimagines himself, as he mopes and meanders on a spiritual quest. There's a professional goal too: a distribution deal for a moribund project about a man who loves a dead girl. As he awaits some form of salvation, Mr. Caland lives in a tent, on a property he can no longer afford, beside the frame of a dream house he can no longer finish. Despite its focus on Eastern methods and mantras, the film doesn't quite commit to any traditions of worship, suggesting that, in Hollywood, it's the size of your Buddha that matters, not what you do with it. Of course, this film mainly hails Mr. Caland's ability to make his own luck and create a better outcome for himself. By implication, he reveres himself as his one true savior.

{"text": "Let me tell you a little bit about my hair type – thick, loose waves, Frizz Frizz Frizz.\nThis hair mask that I made with natural ingredients makes my hair softer, silkier and shinier too.\nIt’s like getting the younger sister of a keratin treatment for a tiny fraction of the cost (and time!).\nI think everyone out there can try it. And you should definitely see for yourself if it’s worth the time for your hair. There’s also just two super cheap ingredients to it. Here’s what you’ll need:\nFlax seeds (it’s better to get the organic kind, like this from Amazon) – 1/2 cup\nWater – 2 cups\n(OPTIONAL) Oil of choice – olive/coconut/almond/jojoba/vitamin E extract etc – 1-2 tbsp\n(OPTIONAL) Essential oil of choice – 1-2 drops\nThe oil is for extra conditioning and the essential oil is for fragrance; both are optional since the flax seed mask doesn’t actually have a smell anyway and it’s also quite moisturising by itself. But do add some oil if you have very dry hair like me.\nAlso, you can vary the quantities according to your hair length and thickness.\nNow, I soak the flax seeds in about a cup of water overnight. Next morning, I add another cup of water to it and then boil it. I keep stirring in the time it takes to boil, and soon after it starts to bubble up, you’ll notice that the water begins to thicken into a gel like consistency.\nThat’s the time you take it off boil. Immediately strain the gel into a clean bowl (if you wait till it cools, it’ll harden up and that’s a nightmare to strain!)\nAlso, immediately clean up the utensils that have some of the gel residue; that stuff hardens up and makes cleaning a nightmare too.\nLet the gel cool down till it’s about lukewarm, and start slathering that stuff on you hair and scalp (NOTE: pre-slathering, you may add the optionals; I usually put a few tablespoons of almond oil in there).\nBy the way, this is the important step. You have to make sure every strand of your hair is coated from root to tip. Also make sure your entire scalp gets this stuff.\nTo do this, I divide my hair into four or five sections and then do each section at a time, pinning the others up.\nOnce I’m done with that, I’ll use a clean comb and just run it through all my hair.\nIf you care for a straighter look, make sure you don’t tie it up or make a bun at this stage. Let it remain straight down after combing through. In fact you can keep combing it through till the gel hardens up (usually about 20-30 minutes for me).\nOnce dry, you can wash your hair using your normal shampoo (I don’t use conditioner even though I have mad frizz – that’s how great this mask is).\nThis is amazing for my hair so it’s the one thing where I try not to be my Lazy Girl self and actually do it like 2 times a week (feel free to do it 3 times or more, if you have the motivation). The more consistent you are with it, the better your hair gets with time.\nIn fact, one of my friends doesn’t even feel the need to flat iron her hair anymore (NOTE: the mask does not make your hair poker straight, but it does smoothen hair with regular use).\nSo do you think you’re going to try this? Let me know how it works out for your hair…I really hope you get the great results I did. Click pictures of you hair and tag me on Instagram if you try it 🙂"}

{"text": "04/01/2004\nSchool-to-Work Transitions for Youth with Disabilities: The case for a central coordinating agent\nBy Susanne M. Beier\n“I can’t wait till I get out of here [residential treatment facility] and move back home with my mom, get a job and save up for a car.” That was Jenna’s fervent wish as she was about to graduate high school. Jenna did graduate that June, but did not “leave” the facility. At the last minute, Jenna’s mother refused to allow her to move back home, leaving her with nowhere to go. She remained on “campus” for 3 months unable to participate in the educational programs at the facility because she had already graduated – and, being 18, she was considered emancipated. She was informed by her Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) case manager that she had to have a job in order to live independently and continue receiving any monetary supplemental support. Finally, she was also told that she could not receive her state’s Division of Rehabilitation’s supported employment services because she did not have a permanent address which was necessary to determine which local DVR office would be providing job assistance services. None of the agencies involved were able to budge on the their agency’s requirements (some federally mandated) to be eligible to receive their services.\nJenna’s experience demonstrates what can happen when a lack of effective communication and collaboration occurs. Often the stated needs or requirements of the agency mandated to provide transitioning services, supercede the needs of person that the services are designed to meet…the transitioning student. However, students aren’t the only ones who feel overwhelmed and confused when embarking upon the final-year school-to-career transition process. Parents, teachers, and outside case managers have also expressed a lack of clarity with respect to who should play what role in the school-to-work transition team. Consider some of these statements from the parties involved:\nFrom a Student\n“When I turned 18, I was told that I was now responsible for signing all my paperwork, although I didn’t understand half of it. I followed the instructions but they were never clear. So I got stuck without a program or place to go. All I know is that a lot of people were planning where I would by staying after I left here. And then, after graduation, I ended up staying at the Center without a program.”\nFrom a Parent\n“I should have been more included. It appeared to us that Family Services had their own plan, the Department of Education their plan and the treatment center had a plan all it’s [sic] own. It was a confusing time. Although everyone was helpful to us, I feel that it all was somehow disjointed and I kept having to check with different people to find out what was happening.\"\nFrom a Teacher\n“I participated in all of my students’ IEPs. Transition goals were addressed at that time, but mostly in a general or vague way such as “student will be referred to DVR for follow up. During weekly treatment team meetings, the primary discussion centered on the behavior of all the students in my class, not necessarily on the one that was graduating. Often meetings about residential changes or postsecondary living plans that affected my classroom were posted on the daily e-mail system, which I did not have a chance to look at until late in the afternoon. My role in the transitional process was basically to make sure that the student met IEP educational goals and credit requirements. Other departments dealt with residential and clinical concerns respectively.”\nFrom an agency case manager:\n“I was only one of the people in the transition process, there were also a case manager from the residential treatment center, a teacher, the administration, residential and medical staff involved. However, to my knowledge and experience, we did not all meet at the same time to come up with a fully comprehensive postsecondary school-to-career plan. Each of us had our own guidelines to follow. I, for example, had to make sure that I was mindful of Family Services requirements and regulations as they related to clinical case management.”\nThe statements above would suggest a lack of communication and successful negotiation among the parties involved with school-to-work transitioning for students with disabilities. This is not to assume that a lack of coordination exists nationwide. Systematically researching this issue would reveal whether or not that was the case. However, Jenna’s experience does provide one example of a lack of school-to-career preparation and a fragmentation of transitional services provided.\nSuggested Actions for working with Disabled Graduating Students\n1.Make sure that a school or career counselor is included as an integral part of the Master Treatment Team for students with disabilities.\n2.Advocate for individualized school-to-career transition plans for each student and focus these on the necessary factors required for students with disabilities to achieve success and independence as adults.\n3.Identify a central agent to coordinate services and systems among these different parties.\nEarly school-to-career transition planning is crucial, and in Jenna’s case, would have likely yielded a more positive outcome. Having a central agent, the career counselor or someone equally qualified, to coordinate the school-to-career transition for students with disabilities could enhance the transition from student to worker.\nREFERENCES\nIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1997.

{"text": "Touchet student Jacob LaRoque spent a week in Olympia as a legislative page for Rep. Terry Nealey, R-Dayton, during the 2012 regular session. Photo by Suhyoon Cho/Washington State Legislature\nTOUCHET — For Jacob LaRoque, getting up early was the best and worst part of his job.\nThe Touchet eighth-grader served as a legislative page for Rep. Terry Nealey, R-Dayton, during the 2013 regular session, spending a week in Olympia learning the ins and outs of lawmaking.\nNear the end, the pages — 14- to 16-year-olds from around the state who are sponsored by a senator or representative — get to write their own bills in teams and hold mock hearings. LaRoque paired with a student from Seattle and co-wrote a gun bill, with a little compromise.\nLaRoque said his partner wanted to ban certain types of weapons entirely, but he was able to convince him just to regulate ammunition and agree to more stringent background checks.\nThough he didn’t personally agree with everything in the final bill, LaRoque enjoyed the process of working with someone who has views different from his.\n“It made me feel kind of glad. My partner and I really didn’t agree, but we came to what we thought it should be,” he said. “He wanted to cut guns out period, and I like to go hunting, I’m a member of the Walla Walla Gun Club. But we agreed on checks so you can’t just go buy a gun and do something crazy.”\nPages apply during the fall and must have permission from their parents and school. They spend a week in Olympia while the Legislature is in session, work full-time, and are paid $35 per day.\nLaRoque said he was surprised by the hours, which required him to be in the office at 7:45 a.m. and stay until 5 p.m. every day.\n“At the beginning, I didn’t know what it would be like,” he said. “I didn’t know how much it would be like a real job. We were getting there at the same time the real workers were getting there.”\nDuring his week LaRoque did everything from deliver mail to sit in on actual legislative sessions. School groups visited the capitol every day, and LaRoque enjoyed seeing the teachers tell their classes about the pages who were working during sessions.\nLaRoque said connecting with other student pages was a highlight.\n“It helped me with social things, becoming more social with people you don’t know,” he said.\nHe also spent some one-on-one time with Nealey, who was born in Walla Walla and grew up on a farm in Whitman County.\n“I think he’s really nice. He was kind of raised in the country, raised on a farm, so I could relate to him,” said LaRoque.\nLaRoque looks back fondly on his week spent wearing a suit and running around to make the most of half-hour lunch breaks. He said he would recommend the page program to other students, and is considering a career in government, working as a legislative assistant.\n“I think I would enjoy working in that type of environment,” he said. “I think it would be really fun.”\nRachel Alexander can be reached at rachelalexander@wwub.com or 509-526-8363.\nnamvet60 9 months, 3 weeks ago\nYou go get em Mister and just remember - don't compromise to much. :) Best of luck!"}

Try putting on the stock 14\" rims and see if thats your problem. 97 Black SER07-09-2002, 10:18 PMIt's the weight you lost when you shaved your handles.:p :confused: 99SE-L07-09-2002, 11:05 PMlower the pressure of your front tires. i'm sure that will solve ur problem spdracerUT07-09-2002, 11:07 PMdo you have the control arm bushings? that pretty much eliminated my wheel hop Khiem ThomasSr2007-09-2002, 11:18 PMThe tires you are using is one of the problem also Try different tires and launch little higher shoe07-10-2002, 05:17 AMdoesnt matter what tires he is using, whether it be street tires, slicks, drag radials. wheel hop is excessive play in the suspension. Your car looks pretty slammed in the pic. Try raising it to the point where there is tension on the spring in the strut assembly. See, when u slam your car, since the is no tension on the strut assembly and when u launch your car, the wheel bounces up and down. scmser07-10-2002, 05:33 PMAre your tires balanced?Do you have hubcentric rings on your 17's? What setting are your front struts on? Nismo91ser07-10-2002, 07:27 PMtires were just rebalanced and no i do have them rings....The struts are on setting 3....and the rear are on 6 wolfcri07-11-2002, 12:48 AMListen to SHOE wheel hop occurs when the WHEEL HOPS up and down due to lack of consistant and sufficiant weight from the body distributed by the suspension to the tire for traction. You get a SLIP GRAB SLIP GRAB effect. Changing the tires may change the ammount of wheel hop a bit, but you need to solve the problem at its source---> the suspension:) wheel hop is a dentits worst nightmare Dan_93SER07-12-2002, 05:28 PMOriginally posted by shoe doesnt matter what tires he is using, whether it be street tires, slicks, drag radials. wheel hop is excessive play in the suspension. I disagree. Yes, wheelhop is suspension related, but it can be solved by using different tires. Tires do matter when it comes to wheelhop. Try different ones. Less aggressive all-seasons and slicks have been known to do the trick for myself and others as well. shoe07-13-2002, 05:10 AMof course different tires are gonna have a different degree of wheel hop...thats because some tires have more grip than others. You get it? Sticky tires are gonna grab and release more violently than hard compound tires. pearl200007-13-2002, 06:56 AM\"the foot bone is connected to the...leg bone...\" use this theory. figure the problem from the source. start from the ground-tire section, then work your way to the driver. art_from_ct07-13-2002, 09:11 AMWhen at the track I usually have a notepad with me separted into columns for all the variables i can change when I launch to get a better launch. I have found that reduced wheelhop happens with a lower tire pressure. launch on about 21 psi on street tires on 15's. I also have the GC/AGX combo and I set them at all the way stiff on all 4 corners. Launch RPM is also important. The higher RPM you launch at the less likely you will get wheelhop. What you need to find is the RPM where you just chrip the tires slightly and the car lunges forward. Too high an RPM and you will sit and spin (duh). Anyway what I mean to say is you have to be methodical and eliminate things one by one. Dan_93SER07-13-2002, 01:30 PMOriginally posted by shoe of course different tires are gonna have a different degree of wheel hop...thats because some tires have more grip than others. You get it? Sticky tires are gonna grab and release more violently than hard compound tires. Well, you're preaching to the choir here, but what I don't get is why you first say that tires don't matter, then you say this. Another thing to keep in mind is that different tires have different sidewall stiffnesses. The stiffer the sidewall, the more prone to wheelhop a tire is. Anway, there's no need to argue. I think we all agree that tires do matter. shoe07-13-2002, 03:12 PMpearl2000 - the tires are not the source of the problem. the source of wheel hop is the suspension. i am saying that since his car is slammed, there is no tension on the spring and strut so the wheel has an opportunity to bounce up and down dan_93ser - when i said \"doesnt matter what tires he is using\", i meant different tires are only gonna alter(not eliminate) the amount of wheel hop because they have. Different tires have different degrees of traction, therefore different degrees of wheel hop, therefore tires are not the source of the problem, therefore it \"doesnt matter what tires he is using\". Its obvious that a tire with more traction will have more wheel hop because the tires is wanting to grab the pavement more aggresively than crappy tires, however the play in the suspension is causing it to bounce and taking load off the tires and suspension at the same time, causing the tire to release. the grab and release is wheel hop. no matter what the tire he is using, it will only alter the degree of wheel hop. some tires may have very little traction, almost eliminating wheelhop, but who wants a tire with no traction? The bottom line is, the suspension is the problem with the wheel hop. shoe07-13-2002, 03:17 PMi know it seems obvious to change the tires because the tires are grabbing and releasing, but that is not the problem. the reason the tires are grabbing and releasing is because the suspension is bouncing up and down. to stop that grabbing and releasing, you gotta quit the bouncing up and down. i hope that elaborates on the subject. CharlieH9807-13-2002, 03:24 PMI concur with Shoe. There's nothing to stop the car from coming up and off the springs with a coil over set up. Being that slammed it comes up and then bounces all over the place. There is no preload on the springs! I HAD a GC kit. I know. Just for kicks raise the car up 2-3\" (the adjuster should be 1/4\" from the top of the strut with an 8\" spring) and see if the hop goes away. It's cheaper than new tires. Cheers, Charlie :) shoe07-13-2002, 03:39 PMthanks charlie nismo91ser - it doesnt hurt to raise your car for a day. give it a try and im pretty sure you will have your problem solved Toolapcfan07-13-2002, 03:49 PMI typed in \"traction bars\" in the search and found what I was looking for. I plan to do this mod when I get a classic. Read up on it Nismo91ser, it looks very affordable and eliminates wheelhop. Have I mentioned that your car is fucking bad ass? I'd love to find a black classic. What body kit do you have on there? I like the looks of it. Got any pics that show the side skirts better? Anyways, read this thread.

{"text": "If your a sufferer of acid reflux disease, there is a good chance that you have resorted to taking over the counter antacids or prescribed medications to relieve the misery it causes. I know how you feel, as I’ve been there myself. Some of these remedies did provide me with relief, but I quickly found out it was only temporary. Popping antacid pills after each meal, did not seen like a healthy thing to be doing.\nIn frustration at not seeing any results and with the quality of my life dwindling by the day, I said to myself – enough is enough, I had to find a better way. foods are all processed. The packaging may look pretty, but what it does to our insides is certainly not pretty at all. They are full of fat, sodium, preservatives, chemical colorings and flavor enhancers. They may taste great on our taste buds, but once they hit our digestion, it can wreck havoc over the long term.\nFor this reason I looked into which foods that can help to reduce acid reflux…….. love, all you have to do is adapt them a little.\nThe following are 7 foods for acid reflux relief to consider\nLean Meat\nIf your not a vegetarian or vegan, then it is hard to go without meat. However meat, especially red meat is acid forming. The best way to help your digestion is to use lean meats that contain little to no fat for example, eating chicken without the skin or asking your butcher to trim the fat off the next steak you buy.\nVegetables\nThese are one of the best foods you can eat for your digestion. They are high in soluble fibre (roughage), which is needed to ensure your bowel movements are regular. They are also full of natural digestive enzymes. These are essential for your digestion to breakdown food more efficiently so its easier for your body to absorb the essential nutrients its needs. flow back up into your esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn.\nFruits\nFruits are not only full of vitamins and minerals, they are also full of digestive health boosting substances such as prebiotics and phenolic compounds. Great examples are the kiwifruit, banana and apple.\nDairy Products\nStick with the low fat options. If you can’t do without milk, then try skimmed or semi-skimmed. Goats milk is easier to digest than cows milk and to me tastes even better!\nLow fat yoghurts are good. Look out for yogurt products that are bio live and fortified with friendly bacteria, as these are good for your digestion.\nLiquids\nWater is the best detoxer you can take..\nDrinks that are high in caffeine are not good for acid reflux. I love my coffee and this was the hardest thing to give up, to be honest. The approach that worked for me, was not to go full turkey. I just gradually reduced the amount of cups per day (I was drinking 8 cups a day!) and slowly reverting to decaf over time.\nDesserts\nI have a sweet tooth and no matter how big a main course I had, I always made room for my dessert – and paid the price afterwards! However, you can still enjoy your desserts without the threat of heartburn. The key thing to remember, is more fat means more acid. So, go for the low fat option. One of my favorites is a low fat vanilla yogurt, mixed in with oatmeal, blueberries or kiwifruit.\nDigestive Health Supplements\nThese can give you an extra helping hand, especially if your acid reflux symptoms are severe. I personally recommend MX Kiwi Biotic because it’s made solely from 100% New Zealand prime kiwifruit. As pointed out earlier, kiwifruit contains many digestive health boosting benefits.\nMost of these are contained within the skin, which is inedible. However, the exclusive extraction process that Maxa Life, the creators of MX Kiwi Biotic uses, ensures all these qualities are preserved. Just one capsule provides you with the same nutritional benefits as eating 3 kiwifruits.\nIf your looking for a digestive health supplement that will help cleanse your digestive system, reduce acid reflux, and improve your overall health. – MX Kiwi Biotic is one definitely one option worth considering."}

{"text": "Brett Hearn is a legend in dirt-car racing and has won more than his share of races during Super DIRT Week in October at the New York State Fairgrounds.\nBut in downtown Syracuse on Tuesday, the New Jersey native couldn’t finish a single lap without help. His race car had to be pushed by fellow driver Matt Sheppard to finish a mini-parade that brought five modifieds to Clinton Square to promote upcoming dirt races.\n“My car broke down on the lap. I can’t believe it,” Hearn said. “I think it was a fuel issue. I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or what.”\nHearn was good-natured about the problem, as was Sheppard.\n“I had to push him across the finish line,” Sheppard said.\nSheppard, by the way, finished a close second to Hearn in last year’s season-long Mr. DIRT championship.\nHearn and Sheppard joined Jimmy Phelps, Ryan Phelps and Michael Storms in an event that drew some attention to dirt-car racing on a steamy afternoon.\nDespite the car problem, Hearn was excited to be in a parade: “I’d never been in a parade or hardly ever watched a parade because we’re always racing on the day of those holidays.”\nThe event drew a mixture of regular race fans and folks who were just curious about the noisy, colorful race cars cruising downtown.\n“What I noticed was all the people with their cell phone cameras as we were driving through,” said Cory Reed, general manager of DIRTcar Northeast. “Those are not regular race fans. Those are people that said, ‘Wow, look at this.’ They were hanging out the windows of their cars with their phones.”\nJoe Carothers, of Baldwinsville, said he is not a big race fan, but “anything to bring attention and bring people downtown is really cool. It’s a great city and I’m glad to see things like this.”\nScott Bodah, a sergeant with the Syracuse police department, said he has been a dirt-racing fan “for many, many years and been to many, many races. It’s really fabulous, exciting entertainment to go to a race, and we have such a high level of racing around here. ... We really have the cream of the crop racing here every weekend.”\nHe said Tuesday’s event reminded him of when the NASCAR drivers had a parade in Manhattan.\nBecki Bruzdzinski, of Syracuse, said her husband and 2½-year-old son are big racing fans.\n“It’s great,” she said. “My son thinks it’s phenomenal. He loves seeing the cars up close and the drivers. It’s not something you usually get to see downtown, so it’s kind of fun.”\nLisa Morris, of Auburn, is a Matt Sheppard fan.\n“We work right there in the Chase building and we didn’t even know they were here,” she said. “We peeked out the window and there they were. It’s really neat to let more people have access to them.”\nLaurie Mortimer drove down from Fulton for the event. “It’s cool. It’s a different atmosphere. We usually seem them on dirt. Now they’re out in the middle of the street so everybody can see them.\"\nShe explained how she got into racing: “We used to go to the drive-in on weekends and then our town had a night out at the track, and I’ve never been to the drive-in since. Sorry, last weekend we had a rainout (at the track) so I got to go to the drive-in.”\nGlen Rex, who works in the emergency room at University Hospital, said the exposure to racing is great. “The kids love it. My grandson’s been going since he was three months old and he’s hooked on it.”\nHis daughter, Lisa Rex, was there because “I’m a good mommie.” She said her 5-year-old son, Noah, is “just a huge fan and I like to show support.”\nShe said the key is being able to meet drivers on a personal level. “Now that I have a (driver’s) face to go with the car it helps me remember.”\n“They’re down to the earth,” she said. “It makes you excited to go to the next event.”\nAnd yes, Noah wants to be a race-car driver.\nThe drivers sat under a tent and greeted fans after the parade. Sheppard talked about hitting the first-turn wall at Brewerton Speedway on Friday night.\n“It hit so hard it broke the seat. My back was a little sore but other than that I’m OK.”\nHe seemed to be enjoying his time downtown.\n“This is great for the sport, to be able to drive these cars downtown and have all these people see what’s going on — a lot of people who might not be race fans — get a little exposure and hopefully we can pick up a few fans.\nRyan Phelps, one of the five drivers, teaches ninth-grade social studies at Newark High School when he’s not racing. He joined the parade after teaching summer school Tuesday morning.\n“I went to take my first turn to go onto the street and I reached for my turn signal like I was in my car and I realized there’s no turn signal there.”\nPhelps is the defending champion of the All-Star Weekend event that Tuesday’s parade was promoting. The weekend begins with a race July 15 at Brewerton and then moves to Cayuga County Fair Speedway in Weedsport for races on July 16 and 17.\nThe weekend is considered the second-biggest event of the season for DIRTcar Northeast racing, with the top show being Super DIRT Week in October."}

The Innovation Days event aims to foster a spirit of innovation among students, encourage multidisciplinary teamwork and stimulate innovation in the field of health and active ageing\nA founding member of EIT Health since 2014, the University of Grenoble Alpes organised the first edition of the “Innovation Days” in Grenoble on 14 November 2018 on campus. Open to all master’s and doctoral students at the Grenoble Alpes university site, the “Grenoble iDays” challenges this year focused on artificial intelligence and “aging well”.\nFor this first edition of Innovation Days at the University of Grenoble Alpes, 45 students and doctoral candidates participated in the “Grenoble iDays” adventure. Divided into nine multidisciplinary teams, they had to be creative and take up one of the six challenges proposed by the Alpes Technopôle on the theme: “How can artificial intelligence contribute to the well-being of the elderly?”\nThe 1st prize went to the “Lou ” project which responded to the challenge: “How can AI help caregivers?”\nThe “Lou” project creates an assistant for the caregivers to facilitate their work by organising logistics and coordination between the different employees. In addition, thanks to a connected photo dial (equipped with AI and installed in the elderly person’s home who could interact on an ad hoc basis), the home-help company would have real-time information on the person’s needs.\nWatch the video below for more details on the Grenoble iDays<<"}

Construction is set to begin this August and be completed by mid-2016.\nThe Whatcom Waterway is contaminated by heavy industrial activities at Georgia-Pacific’s former chemical plant dating back to the 1960s. Cleaning up the Whatcom Waterway will transform the shorelines and set the stage for the Port and City of Bellingham’s efforts to redevelop Bellingham’s downtown waterfront.\n“The Whatcom Waterway is the largest cleanup site in Bellingham Bay” said Port Environmental Director, Mike Stoner. “Cleaning up this legacy of industrial contamination will protect the environment, restore salmon habitat, improve public access, and allow us to reestablish the economic viability of the central waterfront for the next generation of uses.”\n.”\nOn the south side of the Whatcom Waterway near the Granary Building, new beaches will support public access and salmon recovery. On the north side, new bulkheads, pilings and docks will support ongoing marine trade activities, including a barge terminal and boatyard.\nCleaning up the Whatcom Waterway will provide a significant boost to the local economy. The Department of Ecology estimates the project will generate $490 million in business revenue, $90 million in local tax revenue, and create between 500 and 2000 construction jobs and long-term employment.\nMost of the cleanup work will take place in the inner Whatcom Waterway between the Roeder Avenue Bridge and the Bellingham Shipping Terminal.\nAs part of the cleanup project, American Construction Company will:• Remove 159,000 cubic yards of contaminated marine sediment.• Remove 263 tons of creosote-treated timber.• Remove concrete and asphalt rubble and other debris from 46,950 square feet of shoreline and intertidal areas.• Open 4,300 square feet of shoreline and intertidal area by removing unused structures.• Place 126,600 cubic yards of clean material.• Remove three vertical creosote bulkheads and build flatter shorelines.\nA second phase of work for the Whatcom Waterway, to start at a later date, will address contamination in the outer waterway and Aerated Stabilization Basin."}

While modern desktop computers with discrete graphics have no problem playing Street Fighter IV at its highest graphical settings, integrated and mobile GPUs have a difficult time producing playable frame rates with the lowest settings configured.\nTest Summary: Street Fighter IV is a fast-action game that doesn't require a large video frame buffer for it's rather small maps, but instead prefers power graphics processing to keep up with commands. Configured with the highest quality settings and maximum post-processing effects, Street Fighter IV still delivers excellent frame rates on our lower-end video cards.

{"text": "Nigeria has attained the frequency control level required by member countries of the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) to synchronise with and comfortably sell electricity to countries in the region and earn income, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has disclosed.\nTCN, explained recently in Suleja that with the frequency control level now at 49.75 and 50.25 hertz, the country’s electricity grid can now be synchronised with that of other West African countries like Ghana and Ivory Coast, from which it can sell power to the countries.\nSpeaking at the inauguration of a transmission transformer at its Suleja sub-station, the Managing Director of TCN, Mr. Usman Mohammed, stated that the TCN has with regards to the development, asked the West African Power Pool (WAPP) to synchronise Nigeria’s power grid with the rest of the region to enable it sell power to more countries other than Niger Republic; Togo and Benin Republic.\nMohammed’s comment was also in line with the content of a recent statement by the General Manager, Public Affairs of TCN, Mrs. Ndidi Mba, in which she explained that Nigeria can now take advantage of the development to grow her power industry.\n“For the first time in the history of this country we are not just talking about expansion of the grid but also the quality of power, which is why in May 2017, we took a decision to impose frequency control where all the generators were forced to provide free governor and we achieved a frequency control of 49.5 and 50.5 hertz. We sustained this until November 2018.\n“We decided then to enforce the NERC standard of 49.75 and 50.25 hertz, and I am happy to tell you that from December 23, 2018 to date, we have achieved over 90 per cent of that frequency, and as at now, our frequency control is at the same level with Ghana and Ivory Coast, so we can easily be synchronised and we are now urging ECOWAS and WAPP to synchronise the energy between Nigeria and Ghana because we have achieved the frequency needed,” said Mohammed.\nSimilarly, Mba, stated that while Nigeria’s grid code frequency standard was 49.75 and 50.25 hertz, that of WAPP countries was 49.80 and 50.20 hertz, adding that to ensure the entire region is synchronised into one, the executive board of WAPP obtained a grant from the World Bank to support the effort.\nShe explained that a workshop on this also took place in Nigeria recently, as part of the World Bank grant which will equally be used to procure some specialised equipment to be installed at various international interface points.\n“The frequency control is the best ever achieved in the history of Nigeria and is also the best in West Africa as at today. The frequency control achieved from January 8 and 12, 2019, is the best so far by any power utility in West Africa.\n“TCN decided to further stabilise the frequency after the workshop on frequency control organised by the West African Power Pool in Nigeria.\n“Asmall taskforce was formed after the workshop to drive the achievement of the synchronisation,” Mba noted.\nShe also stated that the heads of states and governments of ECOWAS countries have approved the 2018 transmission and generation master plan for WAPP with the expectation that a 330kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Nigeria to Senegal would be built to enable grid connection between WAPP countries and countries in the Central Africa power pool on the one hand and North Africa power pool on the other hand.\nAccording to her: “The WAPP 2018 master plan includes, the eastern transmission backbone which will put in place 330kV double circuit (DC).”"}

{"text": "Some day they'll be as common as gas pumps.\nBut for at least the next few years, electric charging stations will be few in number. Which is why a Captiva resort has placed two of the devices on the grounds. The charging stations at the South Seas Island Resort are for guests to the gated and popular tourist destination, one near the entry to the sprawling complex, the other in the rear of the 330-acre property. The devices were purchased from the electric carmaker Tesla.\n\"It's an option for our guests,\" said Daniel Smock, with the resort's marketing and communications office. There is no charging fee to guests, he said.\nCharging station at South Seas Island Resort\nWhile electric stations were slow in gaining traction, the popularity of electric vehicles and the complementary need for power has prompted obvious growth of home and public charging stations. There are some 12,000, 240-volt stations in the US. There were a handful of electric vehicles just a couple of years ago. It's estimated there are some 60,000 on the roads this year. There are another 45,000 hybrids requiring charging, millions of battery-gas hybrids.\nThe Captiva-Sanibel area now has two charging stations, with the other at a Sanibel coffee shop. There are a couple in Fort Myers Beach, dozens in the immediate radius of Fort Myers. Plugshare.com is one source for electric owners to find an available outlet to juice their vehicles. Most electric vehicles get about 300 miles from a charge.\nThe issue in Captiva, particularly, is the isolation. Drivers of gas-powered vehicles struggle with finding traditional gasoline, let alone an alternative power source.\n\"There are so few,\" Smock said of charging stations, \"and we're happy to be the first (Captiva) resort to have one.\"\nTesla has been aggressive in the electric vehicle market. The company was founded by a software billionaire in 2003. The company this year introduces its fourth-generation car. Toyota, Nissan, General Motors and others are building all-electric vehicles. It's estimated that 2 million electric vehicles will be on US roads by the year"}

{"text": "SEO, the big buzz word of internet marketers. SEO professionals popping up out of the woodwork everywhere. Many making SEO seem so complicated and involved. When in reality, using logic and common sense, you can SEO your site very easily.\nSEO has been around for years. It might not have been known under that name but the principals have been around way before Google and the internet.\nSEO before the Internet\nHave you ever browsed through the Yellow Pages, or the classifieds looking for a plumber or electrician. How do you go about it? Well for me, the easiest is to either look at the index, find where all the plumbers have been gathered together. Then turn there and start from the top. Now you will find that the plumbers at the top of the pages, those listed first in the listings and classifieds probably get a lot more business than the others. Why is this?\nWell crafted headlines\nThe reason why they get more of the business is pure human nature. I do not want to wade through tons of listing, phoning everyone for a quote. I start at the top and try the first few that catch my eye. It might not be everyone in the first few, but only those who’s headlines draw my attention.\nYes, its the headlines that get the most work. People soon realised that a well constructed headline draws the most attention. They also realised that the listings were in alphabetical order. So the ones on the top of the list were most likely to get the most activity. The escort industry were the best at utilizing this feature. Instead of listing as “XXX Girls”, which would put them way down at the bottom, they listed as “A1 Girls” or “ 123 Best Girls”.\nWhat this did was put them way on top. Right where everyone starts to look. In Modern SEO nothing has changed. A well crafted headline, with the correct keywords in it gives us a better chance of getting to the top of the search engines and a better chance that searches or people will click and visit our sites.\nWell written content\nOnce a headline has caught my eye, I then read the small blurb in the advertising portion. If I like what I read, then I will use the contact details and phone to find out more. I will scan through the top few and decide on the basis of the headline and the content which plumber I am likely to call.\nThis has not changed for years. Well written content will always make the difference and draw more traffic. Using Good and carefully selected keywords to draw your readers in. I mean, if I am look at “A plus plumber” then read their ad blurb and read, “We have the best home to sell you, give us a call if you’re looking for a new home”. Do you think I am going to call them for their plumbing problem.\nUse the knowledge you already have\nYou already know a lot about SEO, even though you think you don’t. You have been using SEO and been subjected to SEO for years. SEO is inbred in you, you understand it, it makes sense to you, it’s logical. So why not take that which you already know and apply it to your blog and or website.\nWhat do you think? Is SEO really that complicated?"}

{"text": "The staple of any good meal, in my opinion, is fresh garlic. And fondue is a perfect vehicle for such an ingredient. When doing everyday cooking, I have a jar of minced garlic that I normally use. However, some times simply require fresh minced garlic. I have a rocking chopping knife that is perfect for this task… I don’t know what else to call it. I’ll have to take a picture of it, because it works so well for mincing garlic by hand, as well as for chopping fresh herbs such as cilantro, thyme, rosemary, etc. I don’t use it all that often, but when I do, that means it’s important. 🙂\nI had forgotten how much I enjoy making (and eating) cheese fondue. It’s a luxurious meal… Perfect for chilly winter nights… And perfect if one is a cheese freak, as I am. I’ll have to do this once or twice more this season, most definitely.\n- Butter, one stick\n- Garlic, minced\n- Emmenthaler Swiss Cheese, 1/2 lb., cubed or grated\n- Gruyere Cheese, 1/2 lb., cubed or grated\n- White Wine, one cup\n- Nutmeg, sprinkles\n- Crusty Bread, cubed\n- Kirsch, optional\nSaute garlic in butter. Add wine and boil. Lower heat. Add cheeses and remaining ingredients. Stir constantly until everything is melted and smooth. Dip in crusty bread, twirl cheese around it, and enjoy!\nIt works best if you’re able to keep the cheese fondue warm as it’s being eaten. There are also “rules” about not letting your bread fall into the fondue, not touching your lips onto the utensil you are using to dip into the fondue… blah, blah, blah. I’m not the biggest fan of “rules”, so I say eat and enjoy!\nThings discovered upon making fondue this New Year’s Eve:\n- I no longer have my fondue forks, lost somewhere along the way. While regular forks worked fine for us, some skewer type of fondue utensils might be in order soon.\n- My garlic press is also gone. Though they are a pain to clean, that may also get added to my short list very soon.\n- I used to have a fondue pot that used sterno as the warming source while eating… I don’t think I’d go that route now, as I think I used the fondue forks more than the actual fondue pot itself, but I may tuck a fondue set somewhere in the back of my mind for my long list. At least something to look into…\nHi there. Thought you might like this: . Cheers, JK"}

{"text": "On the form and meaning of Chinese bare conditionals : not just \"whatever\"\nDate2010-12\nAuthor\nMetadataShow full item record\nAbstract\nThe syntactic and semantic treatment of Chinese Bare Conditionals is a topic of much debate (Cheng and Huang 1996; Lin 1996; Chierchia 2000). This dissertation investigates the nature of Chinese Bare Conditionals in three aspects: quantification and modal implications as compared to English free relatives with –ever, and pronoun occurrence. With regard to quantification, I propose to treat the anteceding wh-phrase and its anaphoric element (pronoun/wh-word) uniformly as a definite description denoting a maximal plural entity similar to Jacobson (1995). This entity can be an atomic entity resulting in a singular definite reading, or an entity consisting of more than one atom deriving a universal-like reading. Concerning modal implication, I propose to capture the agent’s/speaker’s indifference reading of bare conditionals with von Fintel (2000). Indifference reading in his analysis is interpreted against a counterfactual modal base which predicts a causal link. His analysis is needed for the interpretation of Chinese bare conditionals but may not be applied directly to whatever, given that a causal link is necessarily present in a bare conditional, but not required in an English whatever-sentence. I argue that the use of a pronoun in a bare conditional is not subject to a uniqueness and existence condition as claimed in Lin (1996). Although bare conditionals typically contain two identical wh-words, they may occur naturally with a pronoun that links bare conditionals with other sentences into a piece of coherent discourse. This account bears an important implication for the study of Chinese wh-phrases and third person pronouns in being able to predict the existence of anaphoric definite wh-phrases and bound-variable pronouns in the language. It also improves on existing accounts of Chinese bare conditionals in being able to capture the details of the form and meaning of this construction. Chinese bare conditionals are structurally related to ruguo ‘if’-conditionals and Hindi left-adjoined correlatives and their meaning is similar to, and yet not quite the same as that of whatever.\nDepartment\nDescription\ntext"}

{"text": "3:30PM 18 November 2012 Nunhead Heights\nI spotted a stack of pennies and two pence pieces an inch thick on a brick wall outside my corner shop in Nunhead Heights, the increasingly in-demand area of London.\nI counted 11 pence – that’s maybe 17 USA cents.\nThis wasn’t lost money. This was litter. Someone had freed himself of the burden of carrying around that metal.\nWhen money becomes rubbish it isn’t money anymore.\nWhy does the government continue to coin one pence, two pence, five pence and possibly even ten pence coins, when people can’t buy anything with them and they get in our way?\n99p pricing, or even 95p pricing, is aimed to convince us that things cost less than they really do to get us to buy more.\nThe majority of these coins will never, ever be exchanged for for larger denominations – they just rot in drawers and bowls.\nAnd if you care about the lower classes, and I don’t being one of them, well, the lower classes shop more often than richer folk and the rich’s single-weekly-shopping at Waitrose. The poor get more pennies at the corner shop. Penny coinage is a regressive form of taxation.\nIt eats at me every time I go shopping. I wrote about this last April.\nAnd not to mention the millions of hours a year society wastes in counting the coins and attempting to have these coins redeemed. What could we be doing with those hours?\nVestigial coinage is an age-old problem. Once there were half-pennies and farthings, and who knows what else, all thrown in the rubbish bin of inflation. All coins eventually get taken out of circulation but now there are four coins which are harming our people.\nAnyway, I thought about picking up the stack. I didn’t do it.\nWhen a broke man like me turns down a stack of coins, you know those coins have got to\nWithout looking it up………….. Can you tell me the price of a pint of milk, a loaf of bread and 6 eggs from your nearest cheapest store?\n£1.40, I don’t usually buy bread, and 1.39.\nMost Supermarkets, the prices are around 49p, 75p and 99p. i.e. 232p.

{"text": "March News Amaris Morley March 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 1 Comment on March News First family picture with Levi The rest of the family went down to West Virginia to see Levi and bring Pearl home. They got a picture with everyone. Uncle Fain, Aunt Regina, Candace and Tasha went to Texas to get in on some of the camp meeting, and to get some dental work done in Mexico. The line going across the border into Mexico. They went to the ocean for an afternoon. Candace helped her babysitting boys build the train track, and then was begged to keep playing with them! Easton playing trains Little Wyatt enjoying being outside. Candace’s favorite time of the day–rocking Wyatt to sleep. Easton playing in the mud. Uncle Steve Blowers’ family stopped by on their way back to Estonia. Pearl and I wanted kitchen herbs, so Daddy planted them for us. I love watching them grow. The plants are growing well. Our last cockapoo puppy, Carly, getting snuggles with Pearl before going to her new home. The girls took pictures together one Sunday afternoon. Crystal and Candace Susanna, Charity, Candace and Natasha Pearl and Natasha Candace has been doing a lot of coloring, and sends pictures. This is one of my favorites. The girls usually come in here on Sunday nights and color while they talk. Spring has sprung! Ezra got this picture of a spring flower. Sorting all the jackets. I have been wanting something I could watch while lying on my bed, so the girls got me some fish. I have been enjoying them very much! We have four right now, and will probably get a few more. More pictures next month. Enjoying my fish Due to coronavirus restrictions, Beavertown had drive-up church the last two Sundays. The young people from our two families went for the morning service Sunday. The preacher and singers stood on a platform on the top of a semi-trailer. You can see it in the middle of the picture. Everyone else stayed in their vehicles to worship. Most of the time everyone listened by radio. They handed out song sheets so everyone had the words to the songs. David decorated Easton and the cat! ~Much thanks to Crystal for typing for me.~\nThanks for a look into your family life. I’d be interested to know if Steve’s family is part of a Russian Baptist Church. Benjamin worked with some of their people when he was in Ukraine doing a garden seed/Bible distribution. 😊"}

{"text": "Displaying items by tag: The Big Dig\nThe Coach and Horses Inn, an 18th century Coaching Inn, situated on the old turnpike road in Kibworth at the junction of Church Road and the A6 Harborough Road. The turnpike Road was built in 1726 and ran from Scotland to London passing through Leicester, Kibworth and Market Harborough. (see The Turnpike Route Through Kibworth Harcourt-Early Modern)\nOriginally a wooden pump and a horse trough with a mounting stone stood at the front of the Inn. The trough served as a watering place for horses using the turnpike Road and after the railway through Kibworth was completed in the mid 19th century many waggoners carrying coal and other goods from Kibworth Station, stopped to water their horse.\nThe horse trough is now part of the Victorian Street setting at the Newarke House Museum in Leicester.\nThe Coach and Horses has always played a central part in village activities no more so than in recent years.\nIn 2009 a representative of the production Company which made the Michael Wood TV series ‘The Story of England’, Maya Vision International, visited the Coach and Horses Inn looking for a location to use as a headquarters during the Big Dig (see The Story of England-Contemporary). They considered the Coach and Horses Inn, a historic building within the Kibworth Harcourt Conservation Area, was ideally situated on the A6 between Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harourt. From this time the Inn became a central point for the TV series and the later activities of the Kibworth Improvement Team (see wwwkibworthvillage.co.uk -About KIT).\nIn 2011 the then licencee of the Inn, Andrew Southerden, was the main organiser of astreet party to celebrate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday 29th April.\nFollowing the success of this event and to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll in 2012, Andrew decided to transform the Coach and Horses Inn into a ship, the HMS Coach and Horses.\nThe ship was designed to support the Jubilee Regatta which was being held on the River Thames and was as also the centrepiece of the Kibworth Jubilee Street Party. (see Jubilee 2012-Contemporary)\nThe Coach and Horses Inn, currently owned by Star Pubs and Bars, still stands as a distinctive and attractive feature for travellers passing through Kibworth on the A6 road.\nAcknowledgements:\nAndrew & Beverley Southerden<<"}

Proceeds from the event will be donated to Surfers Healing, a non-profit that helps children with autism learn to surf. Surfers wearing Santa and elf outfits showed up on the sand under drizzly skies.\nThe fun continues today at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel, where they are hosting their 3rd Annual Holiday Surfboard Auction, which also benefits Surfers Healing. There will be a lighting at 4p.m., and there will be more than 40 boards on auction, including a signed Andy Irons board. They will be on display inside the hotel’s lobby until Dec. 31. Last year’s auction raised more than $19,000, and with proceeds from the auction and contest, organizers are hoping to double that this year for Surfers Healing.\nThe online auction can be found at biddingforgood.com."}

{"text": "I sat in prayer one day, really reaching out to the Lord. I tend to get very personal when I speak to Him. He likes it that way. A child would, after all, call Him daddy and feel comfortable telling Him anything that comes to mind.\nWe were at a point in our lives where we had nothing BUT HIM to hold on to. He had shown us the path he had for us but there seemed no way to walk it, at least in the natural. That's when we began to learn so much about praise.\nAnyway, he spoke to me as I sat on the couch and prayed. I suppose you could classify it as a vision because I could see it, as plain as I see this monitor before me now. I had been talking to him about how in the world we could ever get where He said He wanted us to go when we barely had enough money to keep a roof over our and food on the table. Finally, I grew quiet and listened. Boy did He answer me! In my mind's eye, I saw a huge mountain range. He led me up a path to the very top. There was a deep chasm in front of me and another peak across the chasm. The path I had followed ended at the precipice and continued on the other side. This was the path we were to walk . He said to me:\n\"Will you mount up with wings as eagles? or will you walk ALL THE WAY down this side and then struggle ALL THE WAY back up the other side???\"\nIt took a few moments for His question to sink in. Was I going to believe Him, begin rejoicing and planning to walk the path he set before us? Or was I going to look at what was in front of me and panic? Would I take the long way down, all the way across and all the way up and then, possibly, get there late??? The choice was mine. And he let me know that he would walk with me no matter which way I chose.\nWill you mount up with wings as eagles and fly across the chasm you're faced with right now? Will you dare to believe that, when God sets your feet on His path, he also provides everything you'll need to walk it successfully????\nOnly He can minister this truth to your heart. Will you dare to let Him?\n\"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.\" Isaiah 40:31\n\"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee\" Isaiah 26: 3\n\"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.\" Isaiah 41: 10\nHow can we miss with promises like that????\nThe Lord told me something once and I've never forgotten it. He said:\n\"I walk before you to clear your path. I walk behind you to protect you from the enemy's sneak attacks. And I walk beside you, because I'm your friend!\"\nSo you see, if you're a child of the King, you're surrounded. Nothing can get at you. Nothing can knock you off of the path. The enemy can yell and scream and accuse and lie.....but that's all he can do. He can't get through that defense that's all around you.\nIt's like having a big bumble bee buzzing around your head. You duck and jump and get out of his way a couple of times and then, the last time he buzzes you, you get a good look at the old boy. And you see he has NO STINGER!!! Now who in the world is afraid of a bumble bee with no stinger??? Well, the enemy of our souls lost his stinger the moment Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father, in the throne room! In fact, when Jesus handed the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven to his father that day, I'll bet there was, tucked away in that keyring somewhere, a little, tiny, inconsequential bee stinger."}

{"text": "Apple’s Beat 1: Just another online radio?\nTwo of the daily challenges of radio are specially crucial at launch for every new radio station in the planet: reach and TSL. Apple’s radio “worldwide live” radio station, Beats 1, won’t be an exception here.\nReach: get them to try it!\nIt’s usual seeing gigantic marketing campaigns from established radio groups when launching a new — FM — station in a highly competitive — local or national — market. Simple goal: getting people to try it. There’s basically one way of achieving that, spending in marketing.\nMost — exclusively — online radio stations are independent. They usually struggle on that simple objective of getting people to try them. The lack of resources for marketing becomes the main nightmare for these stations’ teams. Being found among a myriad of potentially global stations is their most insurmountable obstacle for growth.\nBeats 1. Worldwide. Always on. Is it the first global, 24/7 live online radio station? Obviously not. But definitely Beats 1 is not like any other else. Apple is one of the brands with highest customer level of satisfaction in the US (Samsung has recently topped Apple). It’s the biggest company in the world, twice as big as the second one (ExxonMobil). Still not clear? Ok,I keep going. Apple has three times as much cash on hand as does the US government. Now we are getting the idea, right? No one can compete with Apple in marketing resources. Period.\nBeats 1 won’t struggle for getting listeners to try it at launch like any other online radio station. They will have not just millions of listeners, but fans, even before they start. (An amazing reach that any radio professional, like me, would dream of. In addition, as founder of Voizzup, I fantasise with the idea of diving in the data generated by those millions)\nTime Spent Listening: why don’t you stay a bit longer?\nThis is the life cycle for a radio station: once they are receiving listeners wanting to try the new station, they need to make them feel like coming back. And listening a bit more. Five more minuntes. An another five. Until they consider the station their favourite and it becomes the one they most listen to. From one time listener, to usual. From occasional listener to heavy user. From cume to converting into P1.\nNo matter how simple it sounds. Keeping listeners engaged, and therefore increase time spent listening, is today harder than ever. Radio stations don’t compete only with each other. There are music streaming services, podcasts, music playlists in video. The competition comes even from social networks nowadays. Anything sharing space in smartphones and other mobile devices. Specially among young audiences.\nIt’s commonly believed that linear audio is facing a continuous drop in listening hours. And as James Cridland says, Apple has probably disappointed some in this sense:\nBeats 1 could have shown the radio industry how to do great radio, tailored for mobile. Content that is atomised and personalised, yet feels live, real and relevant. A blend of on-demand and live, playout done by the device, live radio with the skip button.\nApple decided not to fight for an advantageous position in listening hours through technology, by now. So yes, Beats 1 is as linear as any of the hundreds of thousands of stations out there, exclusively online or FM (plus online). On the contrary, Apple is relying on human talent, on an emotional touch, on curation based on artistic value. Again, like thousands of stations?\nAchieving an astonishing reach might feel like a triumphant march for Beats 1. TSL is going to be a totally different story. Apple presents its radio venture as a truly global listening experience. Its worldwide nature is probably an effective marketing reclame, but it might actually be a handicap in order to engage listeners over time. Cultural differences, language, the lack of topics of local relevancy and eventual mismatches with listeners’ habits and biorhythms could work not in Apple’s best interest.\nApple’s ammunition\nFor a good performance on reach the Californian tech giant has plenty of what is needed: money, money and more money. Oh, and one of the most powerful brands… I almost forgot!\nDespite the above mentioned, to accomplish a decent time spent listening they have some obviously relevant assets:\nTeam\nTons of money doesn’t always bring a great team along, but it helps. A lot. We should probably recognize some merits in Apple at building great teams. I don’t expect different at Beats 1 around Zane Lowe. That means hosts, producers (some stolen from BBC Radio 1), sound producers and more. That means, basically, great radio.\nArtists\nThis one is crucial. Let’s not forget that Apple Music is built on top ofiTunes, the clearly dominant music store that disrupted the entire music industry in 2001.\nSo happy for Tim, Jimmy and everyone at @AppleMusic + Beats1. I’m excited to be a part of it. ❤️💋 pic.twitter.com/SGFhWLeVTF\n— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) junio 9, 2015\nI said a great team means great radio, engaging content. When we are talking about music radio, artists themselves are certainly one of the most engaging content possible. The market share ofiTunes in current music will drive an impressive endless list of huge artists to Beats 1 to premiere their new tracks. I suspect Zane Loweand his team will show off the “in exclusive” label quite often.\nIf Apple’s radio station actually becomes the place to be for artists and the natural first showcase for great new music, it would likely have a significant impact on listening hours.\nData\nThis is probably the least obvious TSL driver — and an indirect one — but, in my opinion, a unique opportunity for Apple. I already talked extensively about data analysis applied to radio programming and research in my last article. I would only like to insist in the idea that this is not — just — about technology and data collection. It’s about learning, actionable measurements, goals and the right mindset to turn all that into cycles that enable continuous improvement. Beats 1 hosts and producers will have at the end of each day precise measurements that no other radio station in the world has access to: exact total number of listeners that tuned in during the show — no statistical estimations — , for how many minutes each of them stayed and what exactly triggered hundreds of thousands to tune out at the same time. That information every day. If that, in the right hands, doesn’t translate into continuous improvement — therefore a more engaged audience — , what will?\nMy name is Tommy Ferraz and I’m a radio guy and founder of a startup called Voizzup. Please, feel free to comment, discuss or add. I will appreciate it."}

{"text": "Inspired by P’s radio rack and some of the existing “Manpack” forum threads on ARFCOM and the like, I built a rack for my 857d. Construction material was 1/2″ copper pipe and the base was an old plastic cutting board. It was spec’d for the radio, a tuner and battery. My first time brazing, the box came out a little skew. It’s one of those things you don’t notice unless you built it – but it was there staring me in the eye everytime. The battery was bungee’d in and blocked access to the connectors in the back. In addition, I hadn’t figured on the height of the radio mount, just the height of the radio and tuner and so the tuner wouldn’t fit. The Mod1 pack took up the entirety of my 25l ruck, and wouldn’t fit in my frame pack.\nBLUF"}

Answering your questions tonight: humanist social commentator Eva Cox; Christian advocate and Oxford Mathematician John Lennox; academic and Muslim convert Susan Carland; documentary maker and broadcaster John Safran; and biblical scholar Jacqueline Grey. Please welcome our panel.\nNow, Arwa El Masri was going to join the panel but she's unwell, so we wish her a speedy recovery.

You can go to our website to send in your questions and also join the Twitter conversation using the hash tag on your screen right now.\nNow, Professor John Lennox has come to Australia to argue that God exists. That's in a public debate with atheist philosopher Peter Singer, but he's joined the Q&A panel this evening to answer a much wider range of questions on faith, ethics and politics from our studio audience this evening and our first question tonight comes from\nWell, our first question tonight comes from Karan Kamath.\nNEWS - THIRST FOR SCANDAL\nKARAN KAMATH: Hi, Virginia. My question today is directed at the whole panel. Do you think that it is hypocritical of us now to?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I'm going to start with you, John Lennox: the personal responsibility that we taken in reading that stuff.\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, I've never read the News of the World in my life.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Well, you're going straight to heaven.\nJOHN LENNOX: And perhaps that says something about it and I take your point very much that it's so very easy to take the moral high ground but my impression is that when you engage in the kind of investigative journalism that the News of the World has gone in for, it seems to me to become a different matter when that kind of level of investigation is focussed at them and that, to me, is a good sign that the moral tolerance of people has limits and they want to know what's been going on and it's obvious there have been a lot of things going on that are not very satisfactory.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I'm going to pool through a few quick responses from all our panellists, just to start with that question. Eva Cox?\nEVA COX: Well, there's an awful lot of people that don't read the News of the World, that read the Guardian. I don't think you can make generalised statements about the fact that everybody is responsible for the fact that there's lousy yellow journalism.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: No, indeed, but a lot of people buy it, not just News of the World...\nEVA COX: Yeah.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: ...and they read it.\nEVA COX: And they read it.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: The scandal sheets, the magazines as well.\nEVA COX: The scandal sheets, the magazines and the various other things. I think we need to ask questions about why but I don't think we can just blame everybody and say that if it wasn't there they wouldn't read it. So I think we just need to be a little bit more controlled about the fact that we have to blame everybody and we blame the journalists or we blame the people. Maybe it's just bad taste.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Susan Carland, does the market take some responsibility here?\nSUSAN CARLAND: I think that it has to. I think that, you know, that newspaper is the biggest selling English newspaper in the world and the reality is the media is driven by the bottom line and if people weren't buying these things, if we didn't have, as you said, this sordid, desperate desire for gossip, these newspapers wouldn't sell. Now, obviously that doesn't negate the responsibility of the journalists involved but I think if we weren't buying and I don't buy it either but I think as a society if we weren't providing such a high capital for these things, it wouldn't exist. It's as simple as that.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran?\nJOHN SAFRAN: I don't know what I can bring to the table except I once hung out with Lachlan Murdoch, and I can tell you stuff, like just not for filming or anything. He's - he like...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Very important.\nJOHN SAFRAN: But it kind of might give an insight. Like he summonsed me, like because he like just saw something I did on TV with the Ray Martin thing and he liked it.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Right.\nJOHN SAFRAN: So suddenly I ended up - I had to go out to dinner with Lachlan Murdoch and, you know, his model wife Sarah.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Sarah Murdoch, yes.\nJOHN SAFRAN: And a few other friends and I had to like - and like...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But was your phone hacked or anything at this dinner?\nJOHN SAFRAN: No. No. And he was like really nice and he went out of his way to show he was a regular person because what he did, he like took food off his own plate and he said, \"Oh, John, do you want some of this?\" and sort of like just to show that he wasn't like out of touch with me. But then he kind of - he ruined it after that because then we went out to this club and he paid some guy to kind of shut down the club except for him. So he kind of then suddenly didn't seem like just a regular guy anymore.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You know what, borrowing a phrase from Tony, we might take that as a comment, I think, from the panel. Jacqueline Grey, we went through this all, didn't we, at the time of Princess Diana's death. You know, who created the market? Who pushed the paparazzi? Is there some responsibility?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Yeah, I agree that there is definitely some responsibility of the community to - essentially for the consumerism that has resulted in this kind of behaviour and also, I guess, for the community to reflect upon what is the environment that produces this kind of media bubble in which the people involved would think that it's okay to behave in that way. So I think there's a whole lot of ethical questions for the media but also questions for the community that we consume this. I think the question could be put back to the journalists, if that was done to them, how would they feel? And maybe that could be a guiding question for the debate. So...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay. You're watching Q&A, where you get to ask the questions. Our next question comes from Genevieve Lewis.\nLIES AND FORGIVENESS\nGENEVIEVE LEWIS: The introduction of the carbon tax by the Gillard Government has sparked unusually high amounts of hostility towards the Prime Minister, including terms such as branding her as a 'Ju-liar'. Given that the PM has admitted that she's broken her pre-election promise and offered an explanation, is this anger really justifiable? Is there room today for forgiveness in politics?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Susan Carland, when does forgiveness kick in?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, I don't think Julia did lie, to be honest. I think that she made a commitment...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: She broke her word.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Yeah, she made a commitment in a very specific set of circumstances. She obviously couldn't have anticipated that she would then have to make the deal that she did to form a minority government. So she broke her word but I don't think she lied. I don't believe there was any deception involved personally.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: All right, but if you substantially go back on your word, if someone close to you gives you an undertaking and then breaks that undertaking, under what circumstances do you forgive?\nSUSAN CARLAND: I think there's always room for forgiveness in politics but I think there can be a distinction between forgiveness and re-election. I think we can forgive our politicians.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yes, I sense that might be happening. Eva Cox?\nEVA COX: I mean the point is she said something which she probably shouldn't have said but, you know, if we actually got rid of every politician that lied, we actually wouldn't have any politicians. I think...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: So you think she did lie?\nEVA COX: No, I don't think she did lie but the point is she's been called a liar. We're acting as though, good heavens, you know, politicians lying, as though this was something unusual. She made a statement. She changed the statement as the circumstances changed. Her real problem, well, she actually didn't say that. If she'd have, at the end of it, said, \"I'm sorry, I changed my mind,\" then it would have been doing that but she dug in and tried to pretend she really hadn't changed her mind, it was really something else and that allowed them to carry it on. But, I mean, you know, we used to have core promises and non-core promises. We've always had the thing about politics being about exaggeration and various other things. I think we need to look at other reasons why they're being so absolutely heavy on Julia in this particular case and I don't think it's a case of forgiveness. It's a case of common sense.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Lennox, should politicians be held to a higher standard than the rest of us? We all go back on our word from time to time, even lie. What about their standard?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, having just arrived in Australia it would be ludicrous of me to comment on a case I know nothing about.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You do have politicians in the UK who might even do this from time to time.\nJOHN LENNOX: We do and they're...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: They seem to be an international breed.\nJOHN LENNOX: But they're in desperate need for forgiveness, our politicians and, of course, we had our major expenses scandal in the House of Commons and so on. I think what people are looking for is real moral integrity in their leaders and if we talk about forgiveness, I mean if I personify it, personalise it, I'm a man who needs forgiveness and I notice that in the Lord's prayer, you know, there's a prayer for give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. We notice it when we miss our daily bread but we don't notice it so much when we miss forgiveness and at every level of society I think it's such an important thing to be able to say you're sorry and repent and I would want to add here that real forgiveness in a public sense is conditional upon repentance and saying that you're sorry and that's a very important element in it but I think there's space for all of us to get forgiveness and, of course, from where I sit as a Christian, forgiveness lies at the very heart of the Christian gospel.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Well, personally I'm trying to think what I couldn't forgive. I reckon the only thing I couldn't forgive is if I was going out with someone and they cheated on me and besides that I could forgive anything so unless I started dating Julia Gillard or Tony Abbott and they cheated on me then like, yeah, I'm fine.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: That's good to hear, John. Jacqueline Grey, where does forgiveness kick in for you?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Oh, I think in this particular instance for Julia Gillard, a lot of it was to do with how she has gone about implementing the policy that Labor has been quite clear that they have all along. The situation changed and she went quite strong to bring in a new implementation program without, I think, really consulting. If there had of been in that process an admission of the new situation, the new context in which she's trying to bring in the policy...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But there's also that issue of repentance and we haven't really had the sorry. Look, I apologise for changing my mind.\nEVA COX: But do you apologise for changing your mind? I mean wasn't it, you know, John Maynard Caines said when you get new facts you change your mind. Why should we apologise for changing our mind? I think she could apologise for the fact that she failed to acknowledge the fact she changed her mind but, you know, but I think we've got to be fairly careful that we don't need to actually assume that just because somebody says something in the rush of an election campaign they've got to be stuck with it forever, because otherwise we'd have some very bizarre policies.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: All right, let's move along. This is Q&A, live and interactive, as ever. Our next question tonight comes from Jacqueline Singh.\nTHE FORCE\nJACQUELINE SINGH: In the original Star Wars film, The Force is first described as \"an energy field created by all living beings?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran, this is your cue to explain this thing on the desk here, which under sufferance we've allowed you to bring in.\nJOHN SAFRAN: No, because, you see what happened, I sort of confused Q&A with Hey, Hey, It's Saturday dress up day and so when you said to come on, because I've got my Jedis and Juggalos, which is a religious documentary, so it ties in, tomorrow night, so I wanted to come on dressed as Darth Vadar but they said no and then the compromise was, because Bob Katter has his had there.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yes.\nJOHN SAFRAN: And so there's like the Katter precedent, that I can have, like, the Darth Vadar mask.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: And there was the wig that Magda brought in last time. There's clearly a vaudeville theme developing here.\nJOHN SAFRAN: Oh, yeah, exactly.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But, look, well seriously, on the force, you've hung out with jedis - people who on the census tick themselves as jedis.\nJOHN SAFRAN: Well, I hung out with an evangelical Christian just a few months ago who explained exactly what's wrong with the force is that you're meant to submit to God and only one God, whilst this whole concept of the force is like you can somehow control God to be good or you can control God to be bad, depending on whether you're a jedi or a sith and that's why it's a bad role model and you shouldn't be a jedi.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay. Do you believe in a force?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Some sort of unifying spirit?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Like I...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Combining all of us.\nJOHN SAFRAN: If I do something wrong, beyond all rationality I think it's going to catch up with me.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yep. That's karma.\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah, I just know if I was like Richard Dawkins I wouldn't I'd do something wrong and then go, Phew, I got away with it. So, yeah, I'm assuming that the reason I'm always feeling like it's going to catch up is because...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Of the force.\nJOHN SAFRAN: ...I have some like supernatural beliefs.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Susan Carland can you incorporate the idea of the force somehow into your belief and philosophy?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, I guess I think there is something, an energy that unites all of us. I do believe there is a divine mystery. How it all works, I guess I don't know. That's why it's a mystery. But I think there is something that unites us all. I do believe what you put out comes back and I'm not sure how that does all fit together but I do think there's something like that.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Isn't this whole idea of the force just a short of a popular culture version of secular humanism, Eva Cox?\nEVA COX: Well, I don't think there's anything very secular about the force, as far as I can see.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Well, there are no gods associated with it, as far as I know.\nEVA COX: Well, I mean, it's the idea of a supreme being and, I mean my problem is I don't actually believe there is a supreme being and I think we're it and we're going to have to be responsible for ourselves. That doesn't mean that I don't think that there's all sorts of things that unite us and divide us, but I think the idea of having some sort of supreme force makes me really uncomfortable because if there is one there they do a pretty lousy job of it.\nTONY JONES: John Lennox?\nJOHN LENNOX: I think there are great dangers in conceiving of God as a force because we, being persons, are superior to forces. We use them and - like electricity and so on and so forth, and what interests me, I don't conceive of God as a force because I feel that God has revealed himself and what I'm interested in is what is true and God has revealed himself as a personal creator. Of course he is powerful, but he is personal and he is good. He is not les s than we are as a force but he's superior to what we are. So I can't go along with the force. I suppose that people that believe in a force believe that there's something more than this material world but it seems to me that is not enough.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Eva Cox, you want to jump in there?\nEVA COX: Well, I must say I'm rather uncomfortable with the idea that there's this thing sitting out there, him, with a thing that sort of somehow or other runs us all. I mean on what basis is that sort of happening? I mean why can one make an assumption that there is actually somebody out there, something out there, some force out there that actually sort of directs things because that's where I actually have serious problems with that assumption.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You don't feel directed at any stage? You are the sole agent of your life?\nEVA COX: No, I'm not the sole agent of my life. I'm a part of a society which has all sorts of interactions between us. I really object to the highly individualistic view that actually a whole lot of atheists and other people also push. I think we are all part of a society. We are all related with each other but whether there's any supreme being out there, as I said before, I just think, you know, if there is a supreme being that there's - you know, that i have difficulty in believing in their good will because they're making a pretty fair stuff up of things at the moment.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Jacqueline Grey, can I invite you in on that?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Yes.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Because I know you certainly do believe in a supreme being?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Yes, definitely and I think that within the Christian world view the idea that humans are machines is not consistent with that. So humans have free will. Humans are not directed by God. They can make choices.\nEVA COX: But why would you have a god who didn't direct people?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Well, because we're not machines. Because we have a choice in how we want to live our lives.\nEVA COX: But why would God have given anybody a choice? This is one of the points that I actually never quite get.\nJACQUELINE GREY: Well, love is a choice, isn't it?\nEVA COX: Hm?\nJACQUELINE GREY: To love is a choice.\nEVA COX: No.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: It's a compulsion?\nEVA COX: It's all sorts of different things.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: We're going...\nJOHN LENNOX: You might as well say why would we have children that have a choice? I think the really exciting thing...\nEVA COX: Because we are not gods.\nJOHN LENNOX: ...about Christianity...\nEVA COX: If you try dealing with children, you know you're bloody well not God.\nJOHN LENNOX: But just half a moment.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I'm going to get you to be really brief here because I do want to move on. We'll come back to this subject, have no fear, at a certain point but just to quickly sum up.\n###JOHN LENNOX: Okay. No, I was going to say the wonderful thing, to my mind, about God's creation is he's created human beings with a freedom so that they can develop love. If we were robots there'd be no possibility of love and the biggest thing in life for me is that relationship of God, which is not to be thought of as legalistically directive.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay, well, I'm just going to leave you there. You are watching Q&A remember you can send your web or video questions to our website. The address is on the screen and we have a video question on this exact topic. It comes from Jeremy Hurst in Bannockburn in Victoria.\nMATHEMATICS, PROOF AND GOD\nJEREMY HIRST: This is a question for John Lennox.?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Lennox, proof?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, you only get proof in the strict sense in my own field of mathematics. Even in the other sciences, you do not get absolute proof. What you do get is evidence and pointers and so on and at that level? Whereas Christian theism tells me and Islam and Judaism tell me altogether that there is an intelligence behind the universe and behind the human mind and that fits with my science. So my first evidence for God would be the fact we can do science and, in fact, you would be - it's good to remind ourselves that the rise of science in the 16th and 17th centuries came about because people expected law and nature because they believed in the law giver so that my science and my faith in God fit perfectly together.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Well, does that fit in with how you see the world Susan Carland?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Oh, yeah, definitely. I have a science.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: It sounds to me like a neat sort of self enclosed argument.\nSUSAN CARLAND: I suppose, yeah, you could see it that way but I guess for myself I see no distinction or contradiction between scientific belief, having a scientific view of the world, and a rational approach to faith. You know, I believe in creation science, for example; I believe in evolution. I don't feel any contradiction between that and my religious beliefs. If anything, one of the things that attracted me about Islam was that it seemed very logical. So I don't feel that necessarily religion should mean that you have to leave your mind at the door. If anything, I think true belief in God should be something that awakens your rationale and excites your cognitive abilities.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: So the logic of it is its proof?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, in the end to only base religion on proof is a problem because you have to have faith. Obviously faith has to be an element and faith is evidence of things not seen.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: So obviously faith has to be a part of it but I believe in a lot of things that I can't see, in science and in life, like love and quasars and other things. So I don't necessarily have to see the direct thing to believe that it's there.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran, after all the travelling that you did and experiencing all sorts of different faiths and groups and individuals for the last series that you did, did you find proof? Did you find evidence of a higher being, a deity?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Well, I was really trying hard to - what's the opposite of debunk?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Believe.\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yes, I was trying unbunk all these things or whatever but, yeah.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You were trying to prove.\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yes, I guess so and so I was going for things with really an open mind but, yeah, I found it just stumbled at the last thing and I was really trying to be cooperative with the gods.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I could see that you were but why were you trying to do that? You seem to be someone who actually has a deep attraction to the idea of faith and belief.\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah. Yeah. Because, I mean, it's like basically I've been to like a sceptics convention and I've been to an exorcism and the exorcism was way more fun and way more - I don't think these things have to be absolutely true to sort of be invigorating. Like especially mysticism. Mysticism, if you get into that, it can be a bit like trying to see how long you can hold your breath underwater or like driving without a seatbelt and it's just like it's fun. Like so basically religion is a bit like - trying to ban religion is like trying to ban snowboarding or something. It's just like the rituals are just - can be really fun.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Did you come across things that you simply couldn't explain and did you believe that was perhaps a link to some higher power?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Most things that take you to that level and not to do with these miracles, like you see people floating or whatever, but you have such an intense emotional connection with someone or such an intense emotional experience that you do start thinking, oh, maybe this can't be explained with science. That's it.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Jacqueline Grey, do you need proof? Well, I guess the religion or the part of the religion that you believe in, Pentecostalism, which is the arrival of the Holy Spirit, then that must be your proof, I guess.\nJOHN SAFRAN: So have you been exorcised?\nJACQUELINE GREY: No, I haven't personally experienced (indistinct). I think in terms of...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But do you speak in tongues?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah, do you speak in tongues?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Yes. Yes. So I believe in the existence of the gifts of the spirit for today. I believe that God encounters people today so that we have a relationship with God. I believe that that is an aspect of the Christian life that is available.\nJOHN SAFRAN: And do you speak in tongues only in English or like when you're getting exorcised does like things come out that are like you can't explain?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Oh, it's not quite that situation so - but in terms of the proof of God, I think the dilemma with that particular questions is that it requires an understanding of particular disciplines and so in the field of mathematics, not everyone would be familiar with the methodology and so when we ask for particular proofs of God within those various disciplines, it is a very specific argument. But I think that for a lot of people who have an interest in spirituality and particularly for Christians, the idea of the proof of God is actually in the demonstration of their lives. The idea that their behaviour, that their actions may actually reflect who God is from their understanding of the biblical text and to me that's actually just as important as a proof of God as a mathematical equation.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Eva Cox, is there any proof that would persuade you?\nEVA COX: No. Because, I mean, I'm a social scientist so I'm into probabilities, not into proofs, not a mathematician. But I think one of the things I'd like to debunk is this idea that, you know, if you happen to be an agnostic or an atheist or whatever you want to call yourself, you know, in those sorts of things, that you don't have faith. I have faith. I have faith in human beings. I've got faith in society. I've got faith in - I do not have faith in a supreme being. I do not think there's some force out there which is above and beyond the conception of what is human society and the world as we are capable of knowing it. That's very different from the assumption that all atheists are these boring people that don't believe in anything. So, I mean, you know, and I have a great respect for the fact that other people have different forms of faith and they do want to believe in a supreme being but I do not believe in - you know I have some serious problems with organised religion, being the way that it actually acts in many ways not to allow people, not to have faith or to have different faith. So, I mean, I think that there's a question here about the fact that whether or not - the question is not whether you believe in various things. It's a question of whether you believe there's a supernatural being that actually creates us in order to give us free will and allow us to do obnoxious things. You know, I mean, you know, the various statements of the concentration camps. You know, where was God in concentration camps? I mean, there's many situations where people have serious doubts that there could be a supreme being but let's not assume that atheists or agnostics, and I'm never quite sure which one I am, are these boring people that have no faith in anything, because we've got faith in things. It's just not in the supernatural.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I think John Lennox saw a little gate open there when you said possibly agnostic. He gave you a look, aha. Could you be captured?\nEVA COX: No, I'm an agnostic because I actually find some of the atheistic stuff and people like Richard Dawkins so boringly anti-faith I think it's another form of faith. I do not like true believers. I don't like true disbelievers. I like people who are seriously sceptical.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: We have a question just on that and Mary Broadsmith has the question for us.\nOUTSPOKEN ATHEISTS\nMARY BROADSMITH: Atheists often claim that no one has the right to push their beliefs on anyone else, yet in recent years it has become trendy to publically denounce all things religious. This has been fuelled by the assertions of celebrity atheists, who have claimed that those who believe in some form of deity are infantile, naive, unintelligent. Why do some atheists feel they have the right to attack other's beliefs in this way?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I'm going to go to you, Eva Cox, because you were referring to that and some of the language spoken about believers would be truly offensive.\nEVA COX: Is obnoxious, yeah.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yeah.\nEVA COX: But some of the language about disbelievers is equally obnoxious.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: That's right.\nEVA COX: So I think what I'm trying to...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: They're curing and meeting in the middle.\nEVA COX: They're curving and meeting in the middle. I object to sort of fundamentalists, whether they happen to be irreligious or whether they happen to be religious who demand that other people accept their views. I do not like - I actually tried to read Richard Dawkins. Somebody gave me a copy of it and I've had it sitting on my shelf for ages and I thought yesterday, I'll read it. I got through about halfway through the introduction and thought, no, I can't read this because it is that sort of stuff. I don't think that we need to do it but I do think we need to actually recognise that there's a whole range of ways that people believe in and we need to have a respect for the way that people have different beliefs and who people have different unbeliefs and I just think at the moment we are far too likely to sort of line ourselves up in our colours and want to beat the hell out of anybody that doesn't agree with us.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Lennox?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, I agree with you entirely.\nEVA COX: Good.\nJOHN LENNOX: I mean this is so important, I think, that we have a respectful public debate about these issues and regard the public as intelligent enough to judge. That's why I took on Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchins, because I felt that often there's an immense bias, as you suggest in our media in the UK and there's not a level playing field and I agree with Eva. Let's have respectful discussion so that people can see both sides and rationally decide.\nEVA COX: Many sides, not both. There's not just two.\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, I agree with that as well but between Dawkins and me there are just two.\nEVA COX: Well, where would you put me in that trio?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, you told me you're an agnostic. You don't know so...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: See, I told you he seized on that one.\nEVA COX: It's not that I don't know, it's that I'm not prepared to commit.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: We have a question right up the back. Go ahead.\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: I guess we always have this debate of atheists versus God but in the long run, say atheists are right, we all die, we go nowhere. Say people who believe in god are right. God is forgiving. Theoretically we should all go to heaven. Do you think it's more important to have a belief in something or to be a good person and to help, realistically, humanity. That's more or less to the general...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: All right. Look, I'll get Susan Carland to answer that, if you feel there's something you can say to it.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Yeah, definitely. I think being a good person is definitely more important. You can have belief and be just an atrocious person who brings nothing but havoc to the world. So I think definitely being a good person is the ideal. If you can marry the two, then obviously I think that's excellent as well. But belief without being a good person is - you're essentially a dead person walking around, as far as I'm concerned.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran, do the strident atheists make you uncomfortable too?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Well, just going back to what was said before about - there might be individual cases where like an atheist is rude to a religious person but like overall I think religious people and religious organised religion gets a pretty good break in Australia. You know, they don't have to pay as much tax. They get to go up on pulpits and talk about how homosexuals are sinful and we kind of just tolerate their intolerance so much that I think they have to like - you know, like get a bit of a thicker skin if people decide to have a go at them because we tolerate them.\nJACQUELINE GREY: I guess I'd say in response to that that Christians do a lot more than get up on pulpits. They run welfare situations they run...\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: (Indistinct)\nJACQUELINE GREY: ...homeless shelters. There's all sorts of help that Christian churches and charities run. But in terms of the question that was asked, I think everyone has a belief system and their belief system comes out in their actions. So what they do is a reflection of what they believe and I guess the challenge is if someone is acting inappropriately or acting in a way that is unhelpful for society, we need to look at what do they believe.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: All right. Now, we have a rather unusual video question this evening. This is from Steve Daniel in Gordon in the ACT.\nGOD GONE QUIET\nSTEVE DANIEL (ANIMATED VIDEO? Stop that.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: That's our video question. He doesn't seem to have turned up recently. Why has he gone so quiet, John Lennox?\nJOHN LENNOX: I'm not sure that God's quiet. I think we've stopped listening and I think that's a...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: That's a nice line but explain that a little more.\nJOHN LENNOX: But it's a very western remark. If you go to the eastern world, like China, where Christianity is thriving and people's lives are being transformed, you would have a very different response and coming back to what has been previously said,.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I don't know if we're necessarily though seeing, as per our question, God speaking or God's actions if that's what matters to some people. Susan Carland, is God quiet in your life? Does God speak?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, the way I see it is the way that an Islamic scholar said to me once, was that revelation is reason from without and reason is revelation from within, meaning you can hear the external voice of God and that is it should be reasonable and intelligible but you can also have revelation from within, which is the God given reason that God gave us. So when you use your reason and think in a reasonable way, that in itself is the voice of God and so I believe that God talks to us all the time with our own reason and from the people that come into our lives. It might not be the burning bush, but I still believe that if we're attuned to it, I believe the voice of God is everywhere.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But, again, that seems to me like such a self enclosed argument, that there's sort of no way to get in, no way to get out. It proves itself, which is somewhat convenient, isn't it?\nSUSAN CARLAND: I guess that's faith.\nJOHN LENNOX: But if you're talking about things at the level of Moses and the Red Sea or the life of Jesus and the resurrection, it's quite obvious even within biblical history, that those are concentrated and I believe they're concentrated for a particular evidential reason. The evidence is out there and...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You don't think they're concentrated for a particular narrative reason?\nJOHN LENNOX: No, for a particular historical...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: (Indistinct)\nJOHN LENNOX: ...and revelatory reason.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay.\nJOHN LENNOX: And I would add to what I said earlier that I have spent my life studying scripture and every day I have that sense of God speaking to me. I think God - you will find God if you search for him. There's no question about that.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I want to hear from Eva Cox and then John Safran as well. Eva?\nEVA COX: Well, I was just thinking, I mean, you were talking about churches in other areas. I mean what about the revival of the various - so the Church of England in Nigeria, which is producing a particularly hardline, tough anti-homosexual, anti-women, anti-everything type of church? Now, that's one of your revivals now. I just think we have to be fairly careful about who God listens to and what is seen as god because many of the manifestations of actual churches now - and maybe that's the reason we don't see god around anymore, because what we've got is all of these media representations and the various other versions. There's probably not much space. They wouldn't even notice if it appeared. But I just think we've got to be fairly careful that we don't start talking about the manifestation of God. I think we can talk about how individual people have faith but I think if we start talking about the institutions of religion, then we might find that this panel is not nearly as nice to each other as we've been so far.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Well, there is a botanist explanation for why God...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: A botanist's explanation, yes?\nJOHN SAFRAN: They're plant people, aren't they?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yes, they are.\nJOHN SAFRAN: For why God doesn't talk to people anymore. There's botanists who say that like in places like the Sinai Desert there's all these plants. I think like 'Acienda'. What's that one called? One of the hallucinogenic ones? Anyone? Anyone?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Not sure. But go on.\nJOHN SAFRAN: But anyway, so basically Moses was chewing on this and like having drug induced visions.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay.\nJOHN SAFRAN: And like Mohammed similarly had a drug induced vision and that's why we don't - we know more about plants and we know more about visions and that's why God doesn't speak to us anymore.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: A more materialist explanation of God speaking, Jacqueline.\nJACQUELINE GREY: Well, I think that people are wanting to know about spirituality and the supernatural and are seeking out that in various different ways and the third for the knowledge of God, the thirst for perhaps hearing God speak is represented popular culture through Harry Potter and the different Twilight series and different interests in supernatural and I think that...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Some argue the opposite, that actually for them that's going to the dark side and is a disavowal of God.\nJACQUELINE GREY: Well, I think it represents the interest in spirituality and so, of course, there's various different forms and but I think that when people are searching for beauty and searching for truth, when they look at the sunset, that perhaps maybe God will speak to them through that. When they watch Harry Potter, that may be this figure of Harry, who has this quite remarkable role of saving human kind within the series points to spirituality and maybe they'll actually hear God's voice through the analogy, through the symbolism of the movie.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay. Well, let's move along now. You are watching Q&A. Our next question tonight comes from Mukud Rajan.\nDALAI LAMA ON MASTERCHEF\nMUKUND RAJAN: Question for the panel as a whole. What kind of message does it send when the Dalai Dali Lama, the spiritual leader of a religion that emphasizes simplicity and austerity, appears as a guest on a show like MasterChef and goes through a seven course meal?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: And for those who...\nEVA COX: They were very small courses.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: For those of you who didn't see it last night, the Dalai Lama did make a guest appearance on the cooking show Masterchef. So is that what we should expect from our spiritual leaders, John Lennox? Dali Lama as food taster?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, why not? I suppose it shows he's human like the rest of us and all kinds of curious people go on Masterchef. I mean one of my colleagues, a mathematician actually won it once. But I don't think I have any particular comment on that. I think it's a natural thing for spiritual leaders to be involved and get interested in what people are doing.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Evan Cox?\nEVA COX: I think sharing food is actually something that we should do more of as part of a spirituality type stuff and I watched the first part of that till somebody rang up and they were very small courses. It wasn't exactly that they all got stuck into a huge thing. They were little tasters, so I don't think it was particularly gross.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: As long as it wasn't the (indistinct). That's good.\nEVA COX: No.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Jacqueline?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Food is the international language of love, isn't it, and I think that it demonstrates that the Dali Lama is wanting to connect with people and show his humanity and I think that for spiritual leaders that's part of connecting with the community, as the others have mentioned.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay, well, our next question comes from Daniel McNamara.\nRELIGION AT SCHOOL\nDANIEL MACNAMARA: Whatever you believe, faith is, by definition, not fact. Yet religion is taught to young children, who can't possibly understand what it means, as fact. How can you justify brainwashing children?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Jacqueline Grey, I'm going to go to you first of all on that. Is religious education, by necessity and by definition, brainwashing?\nJACQUELINE GREY: I don't think that it is because religious education occurs in schools that are accredited by the state authorities and they're teaching an accredited curriculum and so it falls within that. Schools are teaching part of a program which means that they're teaching a variety of different elements. Parents have chosen to send their children to that school and so as the parents guide their children and have the responsibility to guide their children, then it's, in a sense, their responsibility to choose the world view and the values which their children will be instilled in.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yeah, picking up Jacqueline's point there, Eva Cox, how is that not different from a parent deciding to educate at home religious instruction and to raise their child in a certain faith if they've made the choice to send that child to such a school?\nEVA COX: If you've sent your child to a state school, where they're now not allowed - where the churches in New South Wales are now fighting against the idea of teaching ethics in school, of having a non-religious teaching in school, I mean I think it's quite ridiculous. I think if people choose to do that but quite often the religious teachers are not trained teachers. They do talk about hell and damnation to small children. There are children that come home deeply distressed to find out that their parents may well go to hell. I just think, you know, that - I mean it was, after all, wasn't it, the Jesuits who said, \"Give me a kid till their seven and I've got them for life.\" I do think it's many cases it is brainwashing and I'd like to see comparative religion and ethics taught to children at least under the age of eight to ten.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Susan Carland, I know you have school aged children, has that been a challenging process for you to decide whether to educate them religiously at school?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, my daughter goes to just the local primary school but I think on this issue of brainwashing, I think the reality is all parents teach their children the values that they hold dear and that is just as much of a brainwashing as a radical fundamentalist, atheist telling their child that anyone who believes in God is idiotic and so in my own experience teaching my daughter - and my son is too young but my daughter has always been raised to know that we are Muslim and this is what we believe. But when you're an adult, you'll have to make this choice for yourself. She knows that I changed religion when I was an adult because this is what was right for me and so she's raised very much with what we believe but with the full knowledge that this has to be something that she chooses for herself or not, when she's old enough to make that decision.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran, can I just finish with you on this? Is religious education, by definition, brainwashing in your mind?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Well, you can take it too far. It's like saying, oh, if you're going to listen to heavy metal albums, you know, you're going to go on shooting sprees or, you know, so like I think it's not like having a chaplain in your school like it's the only influence that's going to be on the kid. There's going to be multiple things and so...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But what if the chaplain is saying things or perhaps proselytising in a way that, as a parent, might disturb you?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah, but, you know, it's kind of that's like life. Like, you're just going to be, you know, jump into strange people, so you bump into the chaplain and he's teaching you all that strange stuff and then, I don't know, you grow up and then you've got these cool stories about the mad chaplain at your school.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: It's all material, in other words?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah.\nRELIGION AT SCHOOL 2\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay. We have a Facebook question from Samir Abdallah in Wheeler Hill, Victoria: \"Do religious schools promote a sense of identity or division?\" I'm going to go back to you, Susan Carland, on that. Identity or division? Maybe both.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Yeah, I think it can go either way. I think it depends on the school. I think, you know, some of the religious schools that I've been involved in, I've seen them do amazing work with, you know, interfaith and working with schools of other religious traditions to try to get their kids to thing outside their own little box and those sort of things and I think also religious schools can be quite insular. I also thing that ideally, like Eva, I'd like to see our state schools teach a broad ethics education. I'd like kids of all ages to be taught about all religious faiths, because I think the reality is we live in a globalised world where there's lots of different faiths living with - people of different faiths living within Australia and I think it's good for our kids to understand, well, why do people believe what they do not in a preaching way but simply as a matter of information. I think I'd like to see that taught as part of social studies.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Lennox, you're a pastor, I think, at your university.\nJOHN LENNOX: College.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yes, at your college.\nJOHN LENNOX: Yes, I'm a county chaplain at the college. I think one of the important things here is our concept of faith because what I would like to see happen in schools is children taught to think and taught to evaluate things because faith, what is it? It's a commitment, as I see it based on evidence. It's not a blind taking leave of your intelligence and jumping into the dark.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Now, every time you say the word evidence, Eva Cox's eyebrows hit the ceiling.\nJOHN LENNOX: It's like in science, why would...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: But you assert - you say the evidence is there because the evidence is there and there's the evidence and I'm happy. It doesn't seem to go a lot further than that, John.\nJOHN LENNOX: Oh, it goes a great deal further than that. It's the point you were making that people want to know why they believe what they believe and evidence is the bit that comes in between why should I believe this particular scientific theory and what pupils are often not taught at school is that scientists exercise faith. They trust in certain things but they've got reason for doing so and I think that in ethics and in religion we can teach children to think and be discriminating so that they can, in the end, choose for themselves.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I just want to very quickly hear from our questioner here in the red shirt, thank you.\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: The panel seem very comfortable with the idea that children should be educated in a wide variety of religions. I'm interested in what the criteria should be. So, for example, should schools teach about their church with the flying spaghetti monster? Should that have equal billing or how do you decide?\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: A hierarchy would kick in, would it not, Eva Cox, of some kind?\nEVA COX: Look, I think the point about it is that there's basics that are common to a lot of religions. There are various ethical and other sorts of questions that are common to those religions. I think small children should be given a reasonable choice. The only point I was going to make earlier when you were talking about tribalism, I grew up in the age where we used to sort of, you know, the public school used to yell abuse at the Catholic kids from St Anne's down the road. That is not all that long ago and I just think we've got to be very careful that we don't end up with that sort of tribalism coming out of those sorts of separations. That we need to be really careful that we do teach an eclectic view and we do teach - I agree we need to teach people to think. We need to teach people to make judgment. We do not need to preach at them that they believe in blind faith and that, I think, is the thing that worries most of us.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You are watching Q&A, a special edition, a politician free edition, on faith and religion. Our next question tonight comes from Keith Smith.\nMUSLIM DRESS\nKEITH SMITH: Do you agree that covering the face creates a barrier to human relationships whether for identification or getting to know another person?\nEVA COX: No. I do not believe that. I think it's a piece of prejudiced crap.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I'm going to ask Susan Carland about that as well. You clearly don't cover your face.\nSUSAN CARLAND: No, I don't.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: You wear the hijab instead.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Yes. Yes. Look, I don't think it causes any problems with identification in Australia. There has been no...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: The question also went to establishing relationships, that sort of human connection.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, I think, you know, you can see a person's eyes and you can hear their voice and in the.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: For very devout Muslim women and for some in some countries in particular, the entire covering is about, though, isn't it, a degree of distance and a degree of separation? They are imposing that on themselves for particular reasons?\nSUSAN CARLAND: I mean it's difficult to make generalisations. In some countries, for example, women are forced...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: In Saudi Arabia in particular.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Yeah, and they don't have a choice to cover their face or not. That's part of the society and that's a whole separate issue.\nEVA COX: That's different.\nSUSAN CARLAND: You know, I am against women being forced to cover and being forced to uncover. I feel just as uncomfortable about what happens in Afghanistan and Saudi as I do in France, for example, with women not being allowed to wear the headscarf.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I want to hear from Jacqueline Grey on this as well.\nJACQUELINE GREY: Yeah, I think that it's a challenging topic for Australian's because on the one hand we want to be respectful of the different communities and the rights of women within various communities to choose whether they wear a head covering or not but then we also value equality, as well, and so when - for some Australians who consider that to be a symbol of or understand it to be a symbol of the authority of a husband or of a father...\nEVA COX: But why do you assume that?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Because that's one of the reasons why - that are given as to why a head covering is worn.\nEVA COX: No.\nSUSAN CARLAND: I think if you ask the women in Australia who chose to cover their face, and there's not many of them, I think if you ask them - I know women that do it and not one of them does it because their husbands...\nEVA COX: Their husbands told them.\nSUSAN CARLAND: In fact, I've got female friends who cover their faces whose husband don't want them to and their parents don't want them to but this is their choice. It's their body and that's what they want to do.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: All right, we actually have a Tweet that's come in exactly on this topic from Simon Robson and that is, \"Why is it only women who need to cover their faces in Islam?\"\nSUSAN CARLAND: Well, I think first of all a lot of people and a lot of scholars have argued that women don't have to cover their faces.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: It's certainly not in the Qur'an.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Yeah, you could definitely make the argument that it's not in the Qur'an and a lot of scholars have and a lot of people have and that's why it's not more common. The reality is that modest dressing, quote unquote, is seen as valuable for both men and women. That's what's talked about in the Qur'an and that's understood in different ways by different people in different places and different scholars and those sort of things. For those women who choose to cover their faces because they feel it's a positive religious step then that's their prerogative.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Just very quickly, Eva Cox, why are these coverings and these headdresses, as a feminist why do they not bother you?\nEVA COX: Why should they bother me? I think it women make...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: They do bother some feminists. You're well aware of that, I'm sure.\nEVA COX: Well, yes, and I really object to the fact that feminists do it. It's the assumption and that's why I picked up with you and that's why I picked up on you. It's the assumption that women are not making those choices. It's the assumption and I think that that is a prejudice against Muslim women, because you hear it very often, \"Muslim women are told what to do by their husbands. You know very religious Jewish women shave their heads and wear a wig. Nobody knows that because you can't see it but I think it's totally bizarre, you know, in some ways that we don't even notice those sorts of things. You know, I think people make a set of choices about what they're doing. I would object to anybody being forced to wear something or not to wear something and I think that is the crucial question and let's get away from the idea that there's something un-Australian about covering up your faces. We never objected when the nuns used to turn up for years wearing all of that gear.\nSUSAN CARLAND: Or Ned Kelly.\nEVA COX: Or Ned Kelly, yes, exactly.\nSUSAN CARLAND: I mean Ned Kelly who is one of our biggest heroes.\nJACQUELINE GREY: Or obviously Darth Vadar but...\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John, I want to bring you in here because I know that in things that you've written and you've said in particular, you actually do only believe there is one god, there is your god, and the covering of the face and the covering of the body certainly isn't part of the Christianity that you believe in. So what's your response to this?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, I sitting between two ladies and I'm happy to agree with both of them.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: I think it's because you have to.\nJOHN LENNOX: No, I don't feel forced at all. I think they've made a perfectly valid point. This is an expression of what people believe and for some folks it is an expression modesty and in a way it is a protest against the reverse, as I understand it, so I find no quibble with the ladies at each side of me on this issue.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Okay. One more question we have from Rachel Bennett.\nFAITH AND POLITICS\nRACHEL BENNETT:.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Just very quickly, we'll whip around the panel to finish this evening. Eva Cox?\nEVA COX: I think it goes both ways. I mean William Wilberforce used his religion to do that but there was also many people that quoted the bible as proof that slavery was actually God's will. So, I mean, I think you can use the bible in many different ways and I think, yes, I mean I am a social justice thing and I do it without having to believe in God. So I think we can actually sort of assume that, you know, that people's sense of justice is not necessarily tied to their religious thing. If it is and it helps them be a better person, fine, but it also gets used sometimes - unfortunately religion gets used to persecute people as well as to free them.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Lennox is social justice better? Is it better applied when faith is at the heart of it too?\nJOHN LENNOX: Well, from where I sit God has made all of us as moral beings so I expect my atheist friends to have an acute moral conscience as I have one and therefore one can join them in being interested in justice. One place I think, though, where Christianity can help is in the matter of our stewardship of the environment and learning to see the creation as something that we have to steward for our children and our grandchildren and so on and not something simply to be exploited because there's been a lot of misunderstanding there and I'm encouraged to find that one of the leading figures in the world, who is chairman of the IPCC on the climate change, Sir John Houghton, is actually a very active Christian and he's done a great deal of work in promoting that kind of stewardship thinking and I think a lot of people can join together of many different faith traditions, or none, on that issue.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: John Safran?\nJOHN SAFRAN: Yeah, well, you can just use any text to spin anything. Like we've been talking a lot about religious scriptures but in my experience, like with white supremacists in America, they use science. They say, well, science says this about evolution and we're using the science to prove that black people aren't as evolved and most science says we stick in tribes or that explains that and that's why people should stick together so you can just read anything any way you want.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Faith in social justice, Jacqueline? Is there a strong role there?\nJACQUELINE GREY: Yeah, I think so because there's often a drive within a faith to help other people and that can be a motivation. That can be one of the impetus for change and social reform. We've seen that in history as the question has noted, through Wilberforce, and even in contemporary situation, the drive to help others, to help our neighbours and to demonstrate love of a certain kind to them.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: Susan, I know that charity actually plays a very big role in Islam and that's a strong thing that you're charged with doing as someone who is devout so is faith key to true social justice?\nSUSAN CARLAND: Look, I think it can play a useful role but as Eva said I certainly don't think social justice is the sole possession of the faithful and I also think I totally agree with Eva that faith has been used to create some of the worst atrocities we've seen in this world. Certainly not all of them but some of them and I think, in the end, I like to believe that it's the human condition, it's the human state, to want to help our fellow people and whether we do that because we worship God or the stars or because it's simply the right thing to do, I don't think it matters why we're doing it. I think it just matters that we do it.\nVIRGINIA TRIOLI: That's all we have time for this evening. Please thank our panel: Eva Cox, John Lennox, Susan Carland, John Safran and Jacqueline Grey. Thank you all. Now, next week Tony Jones will be back in the chair when Q&A goes to Hobart and joining him will be Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings, Liberal Party Senate Leader Eric Abetz, Greens Deputy Christine Milne, and gardening icon and environmental activist Peter Cundall. So join Q&A live from Hobart next Monday night. I'll be back with ABC News breakfast from 6am on Wednesday morning. Thanks for watching. Good night.\nPanellists\nPanellists\n- Panellist John Lennox\n- Panellist John Safran\n-\n- Panellist Jacqueline Grey\n- Panellist Susan Carland\nAudience: ALP 33%, Coalition 47%, Greens 14%\nDiscuss the Questions\nHere are the questions our panel faced this week. Tell us what your answer would be or what you think our panellists need to say.\nNEWS - THIRST FOR SCANDAL\nKARAN KAMATH asked: Do you think it is hypocritical of us to now?\nLIES AND FORGIVENESS\nGENEVIEVE LEWIS asked: The introduction of the carbon tax by the Gillard government has sparked unusually high amounts of hostility towards the Prime Minister, including terms such as branding her as 'Ju-liar'. Given that the PM has admitted that she's broken her pre-election promise and offered an explanation, is this anger really justifiable? Is there room today for forgiveness in politics?\nTHE FORCE\nJACQUELINE SINGH asked: In the original Star Wars film, The Force is first described as \"an energy field created by all living things?\nMATHEMATICS, PROOF AND GOD\nJEREMY HIRST from VIC asked via video:?\nOUTSPOKEN ATHEISTS\nMARY BROADSMITH asked: Atheists often claim that no one has the right to push their beliefs on anyone else. Yet in recent years, it has become trendy to publically denounce all things religious. This has been fuelled by the assertions of celebrity atheists, who have claimed that those who believe is some form of deity are (and I quote): \"infantile\", \"naive\" and \"unintelligent\". Why do some atheists feel they have the right to attack other's beliefs in this way?\nGOD GONE QUIET\nSTEVE DANIEL ever hear from God is through TV evangelists. You know, it's almost as though the more educated we get, the less God wants to do with us. So, why has God gone so quiet? Stop that.\nDALAI LAMA ON MASTERCHEF\nMUKUND RAJAN asked: Is nothing sacred anymore? What kind of message does it send when the Dalai Lama - the spiritual leader of a religion that emphasizes simplicity and austerity, appears as a guest on a show like MasterChef and goes through a seven course meal?\nRELIGION AT SCHOOL\nDANIEL MACNAMARA asked: Whatever you believe, faith is, by definition, not fact. Yet religion is taught as fact to young children who can't possibly understand what it means. How can you justify brainwashing children?\nRELIGION AT SCHOOL 2\nSAMIR ABDALLAH from VIC asked via facebook: Do religious schools promote a sense of identity or division?\nMUSLIM DRESS\nKEITH SMITH asked: Do you agree that covering the face creates a barrier to human relationships whether for identification or getting to know another person?\nFAITH AND POLITICS\nRACHEL BENNETT asked:."}

{"text": "It’s always a good time to hear the song in the video below.\nYou may already know this tune from a video that went viral after Norfolk, Virginia police officers were challenged by Texas’ Corinth Police Department to participate in the Cop Lip Sync Challenge. It’s hard to say how the challenge got started, but some think it started when Bexar County Sheriff’s Department posted a video of Sheriff’s Deputy, Alexander Mena, mouthing the words to “Fuiste Mala” by the Kumbia Kings. Check it out:\nIt turned into a public-relations goldmine. Soon, other precincts around Texas joined in, putting their own spin on the songs to which they lip synched. Many think that the challenge as met by that Norfolk police department is the best of the lot. See for yourself:\nThe video, shot in one take during a lunchtime, garnered 50 million views and more than 1 million shares. As good as it is, it helps that the men and women in blue picked a terrific tune, and that brings us back to Bruno Mars who, with Mark Ronson, wrote “Uptown Funk,” a tune that spent 14 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and is the fifth-most viewed YouTube video by views – 3.22 billion to be exact.\nWhat does someone as successful as Bruno Mars have as a canine companion? A Rottweiler, of course. “Geronimo” entered Mars’ life as a puppy back in 2012. “That was my dream, man. I was, ‘Man, I want a dog. I need a dog. A big one,” Mars said in an interview.\nWe can’t conclude a post of the police lip synching challenge without mentioning that K9s got into the act, too:\nAnd in this one, K9 “Quelle” sings along:"}

{"text": "Best Solar Powered Attic Fan\nSolar powered attic fans are extremely preferred and cost-effective solar equipment sold today. Let me reveal the reasons why: as they are placed on your homes roof, solar powered attic fans face into the sunlight.\nSolar powered attic fans start from to $800 based on the brand desired, but they are consistently a really good investment decision if your property doesn’t have already got an attic fan mounted.\nAdded on top of a building, Solar powered fans process their own electric power from sunlight that solar panels obtain to power the fan motor and take out hot air. The cumulative outcome strips moisture and heat, stretches roof life, and in addition, cuts back energy consumption.\nThe installation of solar powered fans irresponsibly contains the potential for fire or clogging your attic with carbon dioxide. Just be certain you can find ample intake openings to defend against this prospective risk.\nRelated Coverage\nBecoming Your Best Self – Self Knowledge – A Gentle Rain, Not a Lightning Bolt!\nWe’ve all had them… those AHA! moments when some piece of life-changing knowledge takes place. We suddenly realize (well, not so ‘suddenly’ as a rule!) that something that happened many years ago is still impacting us today. And with that realization comes freedom: freedom from the tyranny of the past; freedom to be truly present today, without guilt or fear; freedom to move into our future with joy and the power to create the reality we want.Installing of solar attic fans might be up to $500 nevertheless we would say no more than $250 should you ask the assistance of a qualified professional.\nThis might be reasonable most of the time. Price to own a roof fan compared to a solar powered generator is rather affordable about $2-$3 each day and the solar powered variety will not cost a cent simply because they operate on organic energy.\nSolar powered attic fans tend to be powered by the sun’s rays aided by the solar panels. They are utilized to vent out heat within the attic and are installed on the roof top.\nSolar-powered attic fans run greatest if the solar panel is in direct sunlight. The machine will operate in a decreased pace in the shade (provided enough ambient lighting).\nSolar-powered attic fans rely on a tiny solar panel to run a DC motor.\nThe fans are installed with intake vents to provide high-capacity driven ventilation with no need of electronic operating costs.\nSolar powered attic fans together with other solar powered tools such as, solar powered lights, solar powered garden light and solar powered battery chargers are additionally a very smart home improvement. It cuts down on the heat accumulation in the attic reducing the force on the AC and increasing the life span of the roof.\nSolar powered attic fans require no electricity to run. They are sized the same as electrically operated fans and most qualify for a 30 % federal tax credit. Solar powered attic fans work with passive attic cooling (which is standard on most residences). Standard design utilizes vented eaves and vented roof peaks.\nInstalling solar powered attic fans are fast and simple and usually takes about half an hour to set up for the property. This is especially true for solar powered lights, solar powered garden lights and solar powered battery chargers.\nThese products includes a 5-year warranty on the panel and the motor and features a 10-year warranty on other components. Assembly is straightforward and a great number of manufacturers provide very clear installation directions, usually with diagrams and photographs.\nSolar Powered attic vents are designed to be used in conjunction with enough consumption air vents, such as soffit or gable vents.\nNot only can it lessen your cooling expenses by about 75%, but a great attic fan will also shield the roof, probably the most costly items in your home, from unwanted dampness. Solar powered attic fans help you save money simply because they cost you absolutely nothing to get the job done in contrast to traditional driven attic fans."}

{"text": "An MRI on injured set up man Mike Adams revealed a mild mid-back strain, but the Phillies remain hopeful that they will not have to place the veteran right-hander on the disabled list. Adams has not pitched since May 10, but the Phillies have been carrying an extra reliever the whole time so they have not felt shorthanded. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said that the team does not feel like it needs to make a decision on sending Adams to the disabled list until Tuesday, when they need to call up a fifth starter for a game against the Marlins.\n\"We've never been shorthanded,\" Amaro said. \"At that point (Tuesday), if he's still not ready to play, we may DL him, but until then there is no real urgency to fill in. It's not like people are overworked out there.\"\nEarlier in the day, the Phillies called up right-hander B.J. Rosenberg from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace the ineffective Raul Valdes, who was optioned to the minors. Valdes had allowed five home runs in 20 innings over 10 appearances, posting a 7.65 ERA with 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings and 3.2 walks per nine.\n\"We're going to see if he's better than Valdes,\" Amaro said. \"Pretty simple. He's been bad, most of our middle relievers have not been very good. So we'll see if Rosey can come in. His last time he threw pretty good, he's stretched out so he can go long. So we'll see.\"\nRosenberg appeared in 22 games for the Phllies last season, posting a 6.12 ERA, 8.6 K/9, 5.0 BB/9 and 1.4 HR/9 in 25 innings. His numbers at Triple-A are relatively pedestrian this season, although he has been pitching as a starter. In seven starts, the 27-year-old right-hander has a 4.30 ERA in 37 2/3 innings. He is averaging 5.7 strikeouts per nine, 4.8 walks per nine and 0.7 home runs per nine. But Amaro said the team felt that Rosenberg was pitching the best of the available options. He is coming off an start of seven scoreless innings against Durham, which saw him strike out three and walk one while allowing four hits.\nThe other obvious options were right-hander Mike Stutes and lefty Joe Savery, both of whom have spent extended stretches with the Phillies over the past few seasons.\nStutes, who missed most of 2012 with a shoulder injury that eventually required surgery, had a scoreless streak of 10 2/3 innings snapped on Thursday night, but his numbers over his last eight appearances are impressive: 11 2/3 innings, 11 strikeouts, two walks, one run, eight hits, and no home runs. That's a vast improvement over his first nine outings, when he walked eight, struck out 11 and allowed 10 run-in 12 innings.\nSavery was not available to be called up because he had not spent the required 10 days in the minors since the Phillies optioned him after a brief stint on the major league roster.\n\"We tell the guys the same thing, whoever is pitching better at the time we need somebody, we'll bring,\" Amaro said. \"That's kind of the case with Rosey. Stutes has been kind of inconsistent. He's been OK. But he's been a little inconsistent. If he was pitching better it would have been Stutesy probably.\"\nMiddle relief has been a glaring weakness for the Phillies through the first quarter of the season. Valdes, lefty Jeremy Horst and righty Chad Durbin each have an ERA over 5.20 in a combined 49 1/3 innings. The trio has allowed 18 of the 36 runners it has inherited to score.\n\"Durbin has more of a track record than the other guys,\" Amaro said. \"He's going to have to pitch better. I think he knows it. How long of a leash he has, I do not know. But he needs to pitch better."}

{"text": "Two new schemes across 14 acres will bring more than 800 homes and over 200 jobs to local area\nSale agreed on one site to deliver 400 homes for the private rented sector in partnership with Kent developer Quinn Estates\nLeading property regeneration company U+I is developing plans to bring forward more than 800 homes and new amenities across two sites in Ashford with a total GDV of £180 million. Both sites are in close proximity to Ashford International Station with direct fast trains into central London. The proposed schemes for both sites, designed by local architect, Guy Holloway, will help to create over 200 jobs for the local area and build a new community on Victoria Way, which is already benefiting from £25m of public realm investments and improved highway infrastructure.\nThe first site, totalling nine acres, is located next to Victoria Way on the former Powergen site. U+I, in partnership with Canterbury-based mixed use developer Quinn Estates, has submitted plans for a total of 660 homes to be developed. It has also exchanged contracts with Neighbour, a specialist residential partner, to deliver 400 of these as modern stylish homes for the private rented sector (PRS). These homes will be of high-quality Scandinavian design and will offer affordable long-term rents. This strategic regeneration project will help to link Ashford town centre with Victoria Park to the south, creating a new residential community and breathing life into a long unused site.\nAn expert in working with public partners on its developments, U+I has also exchanged contracts subject to planning to acquire a second site, located opposite Ashford International Station, from the Homes and Communities Agency. Almost six acres in size, a masterplan is currently in progress for a significant regeneration project that will house approximately 200 residential units, a 120-bed hotel and an Aldi food store. U+I aims to submit a planning application in April 2016.\nRichard Upton, Deputy CEO of U+I said: “Community creation is at the heart of what we do at U+I. We believe we have the opportunity to create two fantastic mixed-used developments that will bring both job opportunities and high quality housing to the local area, allowing us to add to the community in Ashford. This is an exciting town in the London City Region, an area in which we are focussed as a business and we look forward to creating a brand new destination for Ashford.”\nCllr Gerry Clarkson, Leader of Ashford Borough Council, said: “We welcome more proposals coming forward from the private sector, who clearly see the attractiveness of investing in Ashford. Of course, the council will need to carefully examine any application when it comes forward and ensure the appropriate planning process is followed as these two important sites must play a huge part in bringing in added vitality and life into the heart of the town centre and must deliver attractive, high quality investment.\"\n\"Along with the college, commercial quarter offices, town centre cinema and designer outlet expansion, these sites will play a key part in the changing face of the town centre in the coming years - these are exciting times for the town.”\nMark Quinn, Managing Director of Quinn Estates: “I am delighted to be working with U+I in transforming a long derelict parcel of land into a scheme that we can all be proud of. This scheme will deliver massive economic, social, community and environmental benefits to the local area and with a deal signed with the PRS provider Neighbour, we are in a position to start building quickly so that the benefits can be delivered.”"}

{"text": "- A new genetic study provides additional evidence that high blood pressure, or hypertension, may cause atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common type of irregular heart rhythm.\nWhile previous research has shown that the two conditions are linked, the new study, published online Feb. 9 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, provides stronger support for high blood pressure as the driving factor.\n“The connection between high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation has been well recognized for many, many years,” said Dr. Todd Hurst, a cardiologist at Banner – University Medicine Heart Institute. He wasn’t involved in the new study.\n“While this study is a novel approach to showing causality and not just association, its primary benefit is in re-emphasizing the importance of high blood pressure as a cause of AFib,” he said.Genetic analysis links high blood pressure and AFib\nAn estimated 12.1 million people in the United States will have AFib in 2030, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source. In 2018, AFib was the underlying cause for more than 25,800 deaths, per the CDC.\nIn addition to causing an irregular heart rate, this condition can lead to lightheadedness, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest pain.\nAFib also increases the risk of stroke, accounting for about 1 in 7 strokesTrusted Source, according to the CDC.\nEarlier researchTrusted Source has linked AFib and high blood pressure, with 1 in 5 cases of AFibTrusted Source due to high blood pressure.\nBecause of how earlier studies were designed, though, the results didn’t provide a full picture of how these two conditions are related.\n“Previous observational studies have associated high blood pressure with atrial fibrillation,” said Dr. Victoria Shin, a cardiologist with Torrance Memorial Medical Center. “Until this study, however, we weren’t sure if hypertension was a cause of atrial fibrillation… or just the company it keeps.”\nComplicating things, both conditions share many of the same risk factors — including older age, obesity, diabetes, and inflammation — which could explain why high blood pressure and AFib often occur together.\nTo gain a better understanding of how the two conditions are related, the authors of the new study examined genetic data from more than 1 million people of European ancestry.\nTheir analysis suggests that when both conditions occur together, high blood pressure is likely the cause of AFib.\nThis would mean that in many cases, AFib is preventable through medication and lifestyle changes that reduce high blood pressure.\n“Together with other [similar genetic] studies, our findings confirm the hypothesis that [AFib] is preventable,” wrote the authors in the new study.\nShin said the size of this new study group was impressive. In addition, the use of genetic analysis to explore the link between high blood pressure and AFib — and to take into account other risk factors — was an “innovative” approach.\nHowever, Shin cautions that because participants included in the study were all of European descent, the results may not apply directly to other racial or ethnic groups.Study fits with what’s known about AFib\nDr. David Stuhlmiller, of RWJBarnabas Health Emergency and Hospitalist Medicine Services and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway, said the study makes sense medically, given what we know about the causes of AFib.\n“We understand that atrial fibrillation is caused by stretching of the chambers of the heart,” he said. This can stretch the muscles and disrupt the conduction of electrical signals through the heart.\n“Since hypertension stretches the muscle of the heart,” he said, “it naturally follows that hypertension may contribute to the development of atrial fibrillation.”\nHowever, Stuhlmiller said there are certain limitations to the study.\nOne, researchers didn’t provide information on whether study participants were receiving treatment for high blood pressure with medications such as beta-blockers or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.\nBy reducing blood pressure, these treatments could have reduced a person’s risk for developing AFib, which might have affected the results of the genetic analysis.\nAlso, Stuhlmiller said the study would be more useful clinically if the authors had been able to show how much the blood pressure — both systolic and diastolic — would need to be lowered to reduce a person’s risk for AFib.\nHigh blood pressure isn’t just a risk factor of AFib. It’s also a major risk factorTrusted Source of heart disease and stroke.\nThis makes managing high blood pressure an important health goal for anyone, but especially for people who already have AFib.\n“For those with AFib, it’s critically important to know that treating blood pressure — in addition to being physically active, treating sleep apnea, avoiding excess alcohol, and weight loss for those who are overweight — is a remarkably effective strategy for treating AFib,” Hurst said."}

{"text": "Top 10 Chris Paul Rookie Cards\nGenerally regarded as one of the best point guards in the NBA, Chris Paul is a perennial All-Star who is still chasing his first title. While that will ultimately dictate his overall legacy, he is a virtual lock for the Hall of Fame. In the hobby, Chris Paul rookie cards are popular and continue to see good interest from collectors.\nAn All-Star throughout most of his NBA career, Paul has been something of a basketball nomad, starring for the New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns.\nOf course, he got his start with the Hornets in 2005 and that's when the official Chris Paul rookie cards appeared. There is technically an earlier NBA card in 2004-05 Finest via a redemption (#/599).\nView the most popular Chris Paul card auctions on eBay.\nThe following guide features several of the best Chris Paul rookie cards available to collectors. While it is not included in the list, his 2005-06 Upper Deck Portraits rookie card, numbered to just 99 copies, is still worth noting. Despite being tied with two other Chris Paul rookie cards as the rarest, there is little else to make the card special and it rarely appears for sale.\nIn addition, CP3 autograph inserts from his rookie season are still in good supply, but the prices are trending up.\nFor a complete base RC rundown, view the full Chris Paul rookie card checklist.\nTop Chris Paul Rookie Cards to Collect\nClick on the listings to shop for cards and/or check completed sales values on eBay.\n10. 2005-06 SP Game Used Chris Paul RC #149 #/999\nAlthough Chris Paul's intense stare and open mouth immediately catches the eye, the 2005-06 SP Game Used rookie card brings a lot of elements, and they largely work. Numbered to 999, there are also several parallels that add a different foil color and lower print run.\n9. 2005-06 Upper Deck Trilogy Chris Paul RC #137 #/599\nA popular brand with hockey collectors, Upper Deck Trilogy covered a few NBA seasons in the 2000s, as well. As one of the most unique Chris Paul rookie cards, it makes for an intriguing option even without a signature. The acetate rookie has a print run of 599 copies.\n8. 2005-06 SP Signature Edition Chris Paul RC #104 #/499\nThis 2005-06 SP Signature Edition card is not signed, but it still presents a strong Chris Paul rookie card option with one of the best designs on the list. The print run of 499 copies might sound like a lot, but these can be tougher to locate.\n7. 2005-06 Topps Chrome Chris Paul RC #168\nOffering both a great base rookie and the opportunity for some high value with the many Refractors, the 2005-06 Topps Chrome is arguably the most popular mainstream rookie for Paul.\nNotable parallels include base Refractors (#/999), Black Refractors (#/399), Gold Refractors (#/99) and X-Fractors (#/90).\n6. 2005-06 Finest Chris Paul RC #106 #/599\nCertainly not the best design from the brand, the 2005-06 Finest Chris Paul rookie card utilizes a large blue basketball that dominates the background. However, the limited print run and Refractor parallels make this one of the preferred base rookie cards.\nVarious parallels include Refractors (#/249), Red Refractors (#/169), Green Refractors (#/89), Gold Refractors (#/39) and Black Refractors (#/19). Worth noting in case blue is not your style, the Refractor options actually change the main basketball color.\n5. 2005-06 SPx Chris Paul RC #153 Autographed Jersey #/750\nThe first of several Chris Paul rookie autographs, SPx normally features some of the wildest rookie card styles and that is taken to another level given the colors of the Hornets. Although the trapped autograph is not ideal and the tiny jersey piece is easy to miss, this signed card is popular and in good supply.\n4. 2005-06 SP Authentic Chris Paul RC #94 Autograph #/1,299\nEven with the higher print run, the 2005-06 SP Authentic Chris Paul rookie card bests SPx because of the on-card signature. Further adding to the appeal, the card is also the only Chris Paul rookie card to feature a full signature versus the normal mashup his cards traditionally have. Patch parallels add a small jersey swatch in place of the NBA foil logo.\n3. 2005-06 Fleer Greats of the Game Chris Paul RC #113 Autograph #/99\nNot nearly as well known as the other brands at the top, Fleer Greats of the Games earns a high spot based on the very low print run and on-card autograph. The base 2005-06 Chris Paul rookie card has a silver color scheme and is numbered to just 99 copies. The gold version is shown below and is limited to only 25 copies. Neither option surfaces very often.\n2. 2005-06 Ultimate Collection Chris Paul RC #146 Autograph #/250\n2005-06 Ultimate Collection features a standout Chris Paul rookie card. The hardwood background is a nice signing surface but the lined middle section does make the text harder to read. Nevertheless, this is a premium rookie card worth adding.\n1. 2005-06 Exquisite Collection Chris Paul RC #46 Autographed Patch #/99\nThe undisputed champion among Chris Paul rookie cards, 2005-06 Exquisite Collection combines an on-card signature, medium-sized patch and low print run to make the preferred CP3 card. Even ungraded, these rare cards sell for thousands.\n"}

Horil | Celebrating Joe!\n1: Just a few small notes from those that love you Happy 89th Birthday!\n3: Dear Uncle Joe, When I get a phone call from you, I can just take out my sewing basket!! Holey shirt, ripped pants, worn-through pocket, rotted sport coat??? No problem!!!!! According to what I’ve heard, you tell everyone “Ooooh, Joan can fix that! She can do anything!” I wish more people were as thrifty as you are! And to tell you the truth, it gives us a good excuse to get together more often than would otherwise happen. Keep on bringing those vintage garments over to St. Rose for me to fix. l’m so happy to see you pulling into my driveway every time! I hope Bill has a better crop of figs next year for you to preserve. Laura told me your fig inventory is pretty low. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MORE WONDERFUL YEARS, Love, Joan and Bill | Joan with Laura and Pam out to lunch with Uncle Joe\n4: I have so many fond memories of you, my Great Uncle Joe, that I don't know where to begin. Everyone who knows you knows that you think very highly of obtaining an education. Every time we would come in to visit from Georgia, you would ask me how my memory was and would proceed to play a memory game with me. Despite the fact that I always aced your tests, you wanted to ensure I had a good memory and we had to play the game every time we saw each other. Getting to shop in the basement always made up for the memory games, though. Much to my mother's chagrin, we were delighted to come home with more treasures like manual lead pencils and Chicken of the Sea Tuna from your basement. And after our shopping spree, we were then able to take a ride in the elevator. I always bragged about having an elevator in the family and secretly hoped that we wouldn't get stuck in it.\n5: I don't have a lot of experience with the holiday \"money grab\", but I have had the privilege of grabbing much good advice from you. You have always been so interested in my and everyone else's life and would share tidbits of wisdom whenever we talked. I have a letter saved that you wrote to my son Gabriel when he was christened in 2003. Of every card and wish I received that day, this is the most meaningful because it contains the most simple yet most insightful advice for a life well lived - and it was handwritten directly to Gabe. I am very happy that my son has had the opportunity to enjoy the same things we did as kids. Thank you for being you. Thank you for teaching me to keep my mind sharp as a tack just like you. Thank you for your love of family. Thank you for all the laughs and smiles. Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe! You're a treasure! Love, Pam, Gary and Gabe Aysen\n6: Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe!!! We love you, Alice, Charles & Jennifer \"The Georgia Elfers\"\n8: I will never forget the importance Uncle Joe always put on education. In the army your words kept playing over in my mind. To this day I think that because of you I kept my mouth shut and my mind open ensuring that I learned how to stay alive. I now carry your tips with me in everyday life and am even tempted to write a book called \"My Life According to Joe Horil\". Thank you for all your wisdom. I still find it a valuable asset in my life. Love, Ray\"Trip\" Buchert III (Ray Rays' boy)\n9: Growing up around Uncle Joe was always an adventure. Whether it was taking home \"treasures\" (usually cans of Chicken of the Sea tuna) or trying to collect as many coins as you could gather in your two little hands at Christmas, I always knew my \"Unk\" was there for me. You made growing up fun, and I tried to use those fun times to help me in my relationship with my own children. When life was good, you made it better by pointing out the good in you. When life brings problems, you know how to look for the positives first. You have helped make me successful, both in business and life, and you will always be appreciated by me. My mother looked to you for inspiration, and often told me to model my business life to yours. Happy Birthday, Love Raymond\n11: Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe! Growing up around you was like going to our own personal supermarket. We always came home with cans of tuna, mops, brooms and other assorted items. It also made playing in \"the basement\" more fun for us children. And Christmas with the money!! It was better than getting presents. When I moved to Ohio, I saved change for a year, so I could bring that money tradition to the Midwest. I'm not sure if it stuck but I still love doing it for Christmas. I remember as a child, cousins would stretch their hands for a year to gear up for the \"big pull\". It was competitive but fun! Somehow I was always happy with my money, even if it wasn't a lot, it was mine. Thanks, Uncle Joe, for adding magic to my childhood!! And happy birthday............. Love, Maria, Alan, Amy, Eric and Jason\n12: Uncle Joe, For the hundreds of times you'd pop through our kitchen door with your silly shenanigans to make us giggle, For the myriad personal, hand-written notes of congratulations, praise and encouragement for life events both big and small, For always valuing education as the key to success in life and for readily sharing your ideals with us, For your admiration for and your devotion and attention to my father, Ferd, and my mother, Rhea, in the years of their declining health, For your proud & zealous welcome for each new baby of successive generations, not one a child of your loins but each a child of your heart, For your steady presence and ever-optimistic outlook throughout my life, For a lifetime of precious, happy memories, I am grateful to you. I love you, Uncle Joe!\n13: Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe All our love, Laura & Bob\n14: Uncle Joe, You have always been a symbol of positivity to everyone in your family. Your energy and dedication to righteous living have inspired all of us to live the way you have lived. Thank you for your love and guidance through the years. - Bobby and Ryley Perez\n15: Uncle Joe, Thanks to you and your rewards for my good grades, I now have a straight A average in school and more $1 bills than an exotic dancer. | Would you like to help me eat this Baked Alaska? Just bring the Grab Bag with you, and I'll let you have a bite! Love, Ryley\n16: Uncle Joe, 89 years old? More like 89 years to perfect yourself. You have done a pretty good job. You have so many wonderful character traits but the one that we appreciate the most is how you always celebrate the little things in life. Things that we take for granted - until you remind us to stop and smell the roses (er, azaleas, or is it camellias?). Things like: • the pleasure of a handful of coins (they seemed bigger and shinier way back when) • remembering everyone's name (thank you Dale Carnegie) • appreciation for a firm handshake (squeeze it like a man!) • three hulls, live bait, and a crappy old trailer spitting distance to the launch (nuff said) • always knowing what is still good to eat despite the labeling (out of code anyone?) • whiskey (straight) • taking pride in doing well at school (who knew schoolwork could be so profitable) • driving like you damn well please (we don't need no stinkin' cops) • the same seats at every home game (Aints? Who Dat? Who cares.) • mastering the speed bag (okay, none of us mastered that thing so don't lie) • lending a helping hand to anyone anytime anywhere\n17: You are a multi-generational hero. The girls, who are only 9, 8, and 6, not only know you but talk about you often. They remember the little things that you have said to them and the games that you have played with them. In this day and age when families are scattered far and wide even if they just live around the corner, that is one hell of an accomplishment. It is not that you are unforgettable, which you are, but rather you are incapable of not being known. You have a charisma and a presence that draws us to you. Thank you for being knowable and approachable and sociable and lovable. Thank you for being you. Happy Birthday. Love, Billy, Marcelle, Claire, Emma & Abby (Perez)\n18: Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe! I have so many great memories of you including the holiday money grabs, working in the shop, fishing, and, of course, family gatherings. I have never met another person who has a greater thirst for knowledge and is more full of life. To this day, every time I go down to the Shell Beach area I always think of you and the stories you have shared. I have no doubt that you can still jump into and out of a boat quicker than I can! I know I am not alone in saying that you are always one of the first to offer encouragement in any pursuit we choose and you always follow up with a sincere \"congratulations\" for each goal we accomplish. You are truly an inspiration to us all. Thank you. Love Brian, Amy, Braxton, and Caroline.\n20: Uncle Joe, Thank you for the interest and encouragement you have shown me for as long as I can remember, whether concerning my school work, my profession, or recently in the most important endeavor I have undertaken, my son, Graham. I love you and wish you a wonderful birthday. Love, Buffy & Graham\n22: Uncle Joe, Oh, the memories, lessons \\ and love that you have brought to our lives! As many have said, your inspiring words will always be with me. But when I think of my \"Uncle Bum\" a smile immediately crosses my face! This is because you have taught me to take life seriously only when needed, and enjoy every other minute to the fullest...whether it be going to a Saints game, honking at a cop going WAY too slow, playing golf in the basement, or simply riding a 4 year old up and down the elevator just because it is cool! Thank you for making me laugh and, for the past 5 years, making Dylan laugh! I hope I can bring as many smiles to faces in my lifetime as you have in yours! Much love, Beth, Scott & Dylan\n23: You & FJ were at Ma Ma's to greet Dylan on our way home from the hospital when he was born! | Below is Papa with Buffy and Beth. | Above is Dylan's first fishing trip! | Dylan still runs around with the horse you gave him!\n24: Uncle Joe, I can't remember a time with family that you were not a significant part of the experience. You have been much more than the typical Uncle. Throughout my life, you have been a buddy, a mentor, and a grandparent. From the fishing trips, to golfing at Audubon, from outings to the library on St. Charles, and shooting spitballs on the windows of McDonald's, every experience with you was unique, enjoyable, and memorable.\n25: Now to see my children's faces light up when you walk into the room is almost as enjoyable as the times when I was their age. Watching them play \"Grab Bag\" and seeing the excitement on their faces as they count the loot is like travelling back in time. Your passion for family, and your unending willingness to share the wisdom that you have gathered over your lifetime have been lessons that will stay with me forever. You are a man whose actions have spoken more loudly than your words, although there are many of those as well, and your example has taught me the importance of staying active both in mind and body. I treasure the times we have spent together, and I only hope that I can impart the wisdom that you have shared with me unto others. We love you, Ben, Cassie, Brandon, and Brooke\n27: Happy 89th birthday, Uncle Joe! Top 10 Memories of you…and the impact on me 10. Dedication to family…love of family 9. Business advice…desire to excel 8. Harassment during report card time…emphasis on education 7. Grab bag…money management 6. Punching bag…well, I never was good at it 5. Saints games…sports fan 4. Fishing…love for fishing (even if my fish fillets look more like “bait”) 3. “Out of code” goods…new respect for expiration dates 2. Shopping in the basement...learned shopping is not my strong point 1. How to chew tobacco…no lesson here, but who else would teach you how to chew tobacco at 10 years old!?!? Thanks for being so selfless. We love you! Beau, Katie, and Avery Perez\n28: Dear Uncle Joe, You have always been my cheerleader--offering your enthusiasm, interest, encouragement and support throughout my life. In the small ways you show your love from a reminder of gas in my car to the offer of a piece of fruit for the road, I thank you. For the many years I witnessed your devotion to Mom and Dad, especially in the difficult times when you so faithfully served, I thank you. For the countless times you extended yourself to bring joy, comfort and hope to family and friends, I thank you. For the humor and silliness we loved as kids and still do, I thank you. For just being you, I thank God. I am so very blessed to call you,\"My Uncle Joe\". Linda & Wes\n29: \"A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.\" | Lauren - You make me smile!\n30: Have a Great Birthday, Uncle Joe. Love Bridget\n31: Paky, Terry, Trey (7), Reese (5) & Brayden (4)\n32: Uncle Joe \"The Consummate Salesman\" Happy 89th Birthday, I wanted to say thank you for the years of great advice and direction you have given me.. I'll never forget listening to the old scratchy records discussing sales and motivation. Everyday being in business I appreciate those messages .more and more. Thank you for your time to share . these valuable lessons. Of course this note would not sound like one coming from me unless I included a little humor.......Just to let you know , I took all the silver coins and invested in beer and women, which I believe, gave me the character and experience to become \"The Consummate Salesman II\" Best wishes, Paky\n33: Just to let you know, I took all the silver coins and invested in beer and women....\n35: Happy Birthday Uncle Joe! One of the most special things that I remember about you is your genuine interest in me and what was going on in my life. It never failed that you asked me about my school, work or how I was getting along with my parents. Thank you for being you! We Love You, Rebecca, Dane, Charlie, Caroline, Halle and Kaylin\n37: Happy Birthday Uncle Joe!!! We love you and wish you many more happy years. Jamie, Jason, Peyton, & Preston Dear Uncle Joe, I will always remember the shopping sprees in your basement. I found many things I just couldn't live without. Thanks for contributing to my love of shopping. Also, I still have every silver dollar I ever grabbed from the money bag. I've had them hidden away since I was a child. You told me not to spend them because they would be worth more in the future. I'm still holding on, waiting to double my money. I'll hook you up with 20% of my profit for the financial advise. I love you dearly. Always, Jamie\n38: Uncle Joe, you have discussed with me various aspects of life throughout my years. However, there is one lesson that truly impacted my life, the value of an education. You always made a point to show concern about my schooling and ask if I needed help. You always stressed that education was the key that opened many doors in life. I learned throughout the years that an education is more than 'good grades'. Education develops open mindedness to accept difference and change. Education helps to make good choices. As I grow older and wiser I cherish your advise. I have found that there is great freedom and beauty in an education. The world is filled with knowledge and mysteries encouraging learning to continue as long as we live. The really amazing part about you inspiring me is that I am now able to inspire others. Thanks! Love, Kristin and Isabel\n40: Have you heard of a new eco-fad going around the nation called \"Dumpster Diving\"? Well... it's not really anything new since Uncle Joe has been doing it for years.! Whenever I throw some old thing in the trash, I can be sure it will turn up in his \"inventory\" in the basement. What in the world can you do with a broken sprinkler? Uncle Joe - ahead of his time - the original recycler!! Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe, Love, F.J.\n41: \"What the hell do you think you're gonna do with that?\" | \"Meow\"\n42: Well Uncle Joe, I just joined this outfit. It is a rather sprightly bunch. From punching bags to pecans. From gardenias to money grabs. Economists, engineers, doctors, lawyers, small business folks. School teachers, carpenters, computer whizz's, your occasional normal person. Enough college degrees to wall paper an air craft carrier. I have a sneaky suspicion you might have had something to do with that? I also think you are going to hang around a while. You just cannot stand it. You now know how the last generation turned out. You ain't leaving until you find out how this new herd is going to do. I suppose as a newcomer, coming in, it gives me quite the advantage. I can stand back, view the scene objectively and ask, \"What is the common denominator? Who caused all of this? Where is the glue?\n43: Here is a question: Sixty years ago, when you smelled better, did it ever occur to you that you would have such an effect on so many people who turned out so well? There is a word for folks like you, Uncle Joe. It is an over-used word, and not taken seriously enough. But still, it is a rather profound word. Good. You did \"good\", Sir. Happy Birthday Michael Fontenot\n44: Our LNG tanks under construction in Angola | We've got a room with your name on it! Come visit! | (left) This is me, with my pet Black Forest Cobra in Angola, Africa. His name is Spitz!\n45: My Dear Sweet Bum, Life is better with you in it. You have been a dominant force in my life, for my entire life - an heroic figure. From one of my youngest memories (as if it were yesterday!) of swinging for hours in your Navy hammock under the Cry-Baby tree, singing my lungs out; to you scooping me up, holding me tight in your arms and carrying me up the steps, rescuing me from my caterpillar bite \"tragedy\"; until today, ever-present with your active support for any and every little thing. (\"I can han'le it!\") --- you are always there. I often wonder what I would be doing today if you hadn't helped me obtain my Tulane engineering degree. Your dedication to family is quite a role model for us all. You have left an indelible mark on me, and I am challenged to live up to the example you have set - a life lived wholly and completely, tirelessly and joyfully present to meet everyone's needs, both emotional and physical. You are more than Uncle. I love you. Mickey and Michael\n46: Happy Birthday Uncle Joe! Dear Uncle Joe, I just wanted to thank you for all you've done for everyone. I will never forget the afternoons spent playing baseball in your backyard, all the fishing trips, or the hours of rummaging through your basement. And who can forget the money grab bag? I think that's how most of us started our college funds. Thanks for all of the memories - they are some of the fondest I have and they will stick with me forever. Love, Michael\n47: It's time to plan another fishin' trip!\n48: Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe!\n49: I can think of no one more deserving of recognition than you, my dearest Uncle Joe. Let me say that, although it's your 89th birthday, you surely don't act your age! I mean that as a compliment. You are still young at heart and still amazingly active. I can't begin to tell you what an influence you've had on all of our lives. As a child, it was neat having you live just next door. I looked forward to your frequent visits to our house. Your silly shenanigans made us all giggle. I remember how you would hold Scott and Keith upside down by their ankles and \"shake the money out of their pockets\". Mickey and I loved taking turns in your smelly, old NAVY canvas hammock in the yard. When you had to travel out of town, we'd take turns sleeping at MaMaw's, watching her favorite program, the Lawrence Welk Show with Liberace and the Lennon Sisters. Holidays at the big house were so much fun with the now-famous \"Money Grab\". What memories!! As an adult, I see how interested and involved you are in each of our lives. You taught Stephen and Christopher how to swing a baseball bat and a golf club. How can I ever thank you enough for your care and devotion to my Mom during her final years? Your generosity will never be forgotten. By example, you have taught me that education is indeed a lifelong process. No matter what your age, your thirst for knowledge never ends. I count my blessings that you are who you are. It is an honor to be a part of your family. Happy Birthday, Uncle Joe! I love you, Janet\n51: HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JOE! XOXO In my 31 years on this Earth you have been a constant source of comfort and inspiration (not to mention groceries and rare coins!) I feel so blessed to have you in my life. Whenever times were tough you gave me encouragement to press on and keep reaching for the stars. I'm not there quite yet, but you've helped me believe that anything is possible with hard work. Also, you have always reminded me to keep the things that are really important in perspective... faith, family, education, laughter and an axe in the attic during hurricane season! I will always cherish and look back on all our times together like shopping in your basement and riding in your elevator with a great big smile on my face. I look forward to all the good times yet to come. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!! Have a wonderful birthday! Love, Stephanie\n53: Dear Uncle Joe, (AKA Uncle Bum) I have so many wonderful memories with you, it's hard to narrow it down to only a few. You have been such an incredible influence in all of our lives. In your busy life, you have ALWAYS found time to keep track of all of us. Some of my greatest memories begin at a very young age when we would all get together for the holidays. I was always looking forward to the \"money grab!\" I loved that you kept it fair and let the smallest hands grab first. (That usually put me at the front of the line!) Another wonderful memory I have is shopping in your basement. There were so many treasures for us to search through as we filled our grocery bags with \"slightly out of code\" items!! We always found our way over to the punching bag while we were wandering through the basement. You would find us a step stool and begin our lesson in professional boxing. Although I never got the bag to roll like you did, I enjoyed those special moments with my Uncle Joe:) I also remember my excitement when we came over to ride the elevator. I would go up & down all day if you let us! These are only a few of the most memorable moments I've had with you. I cannot begin to tell you what an important, inspirational person you've been throughout my life. I cannot remember a time when you were not there offering an encouraging word and pushing us to do our very best. Thank you for ALL you have done and all you continue to do for our whole family. I LOVE YOU UNCLE JOE! P.S. Happy 89th Birthday Melanie\n55: Uncle Joe, Happy Birthday! I wish you the absolute best. I can not even begin to tell you how wonderful a person you are to me and my family. I have so many good memories, from the money grab to shopping in your basement and going up and down in the elevator until we were told we would break it. Our entire family is so blessed to have such an amazing person as yourself. You have always had the best advice and great knowledge in leading us in the right direction. Thank you for all you have done for me and my family. Thank you for being such a great uncle, person and mentor. Love, Katie\n57: Never have I met a man more eager to share advice and wisdom that he has acquired throughout his life. You have been such an inspiration to me and you have looked out for me more times than I can remember. I can only wish to be so lucky as to live a life as fulfilling and heartfelt as yours. Your generosity, I'm sure, has touched each and every member of this family in a special way. Although your name may not appear in history books, the compelling story of me and my \"good buddy\" will surely be one that is passed down from generation to generation. Happy Birthday Uncle Joe! Love, Stephen\n58: Dear Uncle Joe, My favorite memories of New Orleans were playing baseball, attempting to hit the golf ball around, and shooting the pellet gun at cans in the backyard with you. Of course there was the occasional snooping in his basement and hitting the punching bag. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make a little boy's day better. Love, Christopher Horil\n59: The Bum ?? Other names you may recognize him by: The Sweeper of the Shop The King of Window Washers Master to the Professors Advocate for Perpetual Education Guardian of the Blue Goose Hair Breathe Harry And self proclaimed: Dean of the Beans The Bum -- It may be only a name we use that everyone knows who we refer to …. but it is the furthest from any reference to who he is or to his character. What a wonderful example to ALL of us you have been! HAPPY 89th BIRTHDAY UNCLE JOE\n60: Uncle Joe - - The Bum I have no idea where the nick name originated, but it has stuck with him for as long as I can remember. From before I could tell time, Uncle Joe was teaching me and having me repeat: “Time and Tide await no man” Even though I came to understand the meaning, I am still one of the great procrastinators. Here is another one I was taught about 40 years ago: “I know men in the ranks who will stay in the ranks. Why? Simply because they don’t have the ability to get things done.” Yet another one Uncle Joe told me (many many times throughout the years): “Did I ever tell you the story of the successful Tycoon? Well I once met this successful Tycoon. I was so impressed with his success, I was compelled to ask: How did you become so successful? He replied, by making good decisions. Still wanting to know more, I proceeded to inquire further. So I asked, How is it that you make good decisions? He quickly replied, through experience I have learned to make good decisions. Still wanting to know more, I persisted: Well how did you gain experience? The successful Tycoon thought for a moment, and replied: by making bad decisions.” Everyone who hears this tale may take away something different. For me, the moral of the story has been the source of my motivation and persistence to never give up. No matter how many times I fail or fall down, each experience draws me closer to my success. It is through my failures that I learn the most in life. Uncle Joe and the lessons he taught me have never been far from my heart.\n61: Technology has nothing on the Pictures in my Mind – Thanks for the memories. As a boy, Uncle Joe would take my brother Keith, and I on different outings. One of my favorite is the fishing trips down at Shell Beach, where the mosquitoes and gnats were a constant annoyance. It was very exciting to take a ride on his boat. He even let us drive. We caught Trout, Flounder, Red Fish, and this huge Drum fish that put up the fight of his life. I even caught an oyster! And of course, he taught us to clean and gut the fish at home. My mother would always cook the fish to order. I can also remember Uncle Joe taking us to watch the Saints Football games. My first game was held at Tulane Stadium, before the Dome was built. And no matter where we went, we always had to stop at the down town Post Office to get his mail. When Keith and I would get bored, Uncle Joe was always there to fill the gap. He would play ball in the back yard with us, see how far we could hit the golf balls (without breaking a window), and of course practicing casting our fishing lines from the top of the porch. Through the years, Uncle Joe has always been there to lend a SILENT Helping Hand whenever it was needed. Okay, the Helping Hand whenever it was needed is true. Thank you Uncle Joe, from the bottom of my heart for all the joy you have brought into our lives. Love, Scott Horil\n62: Happy Birthday Uncle Joe! Keith, Jamie, Levi, Izak & Daniel\n64: Dear Uncle Joe, While thinking about what we wanted to say to let you know how much we love you and what a special person you are, certain phrases from the poem If kept coming to mind. So as Rudyard Kipling says it better than we: \"If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thought your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!\"\n65: YOU'RE THE MAN!! The one we love and admire and wish a very happy 89th birthday and many more!! With much love, Lise, Teddy, Maureen and Leonard\n66: Happy Birthday Uncle Joe! Dear Uncle Joe, There has never been a time that you were not part of our family celebrations, especially Christmases, weddings, and graduations. I remember your long line of nieces and nephews waiting our turns for the Christmas Money Grab in the 1950's when I was one of the little ones, and I remember it when I was one of the tallest in line too. The stories you, Daddy, and Uncle Ferd would spin to entertain us kids should have been written down. Some were believable and probably true, but the three of you told some of them with such a twinkle in your eyes that we knew we were being told a real whopper, which made the story even more fun.\n67: When we lived in Hattiesburg, you used to drop in to visit when you were passing through on business trips. You always had cans of Chicken of the Sea and Sayman's Salve and other products for Mother and toys for \"the babies\" (Cherreen and Melanie). If you stayed for dinner, you used to call us the \"Little Termites\", because you said you never saw 5 little creatures go through so much food so fast. We took it as a compliment! As we have outgrown the Money Grab and our termite years, you have remained such an important part of our lives. You still remember us every Christmas, and you don't forget who has added a husband or a wife or a baby!! You have stayed young and interested in our lives, and we love you so much. Love, Kathleen\n68: !Happy 89th Birthday to the \"OFFICIAL UNC / THE DEAN OF BEANS\" Uncle Joe, as you can see, I've posted the picture that you took of me such a long time ago at Schwegmann's. It was my first official paying sales job working for you at Fortier, Brown & Horil Food Brokers. Of course, I was also selling Cry-Baby Tree Seeds from the tree in your backyard to neighborhood Chalmation women when I was five or six years old, but that was not an official sales job. I'm still selling now today, most likely, thanks to you. It's all your fault; no good deed shall go unpunished. Well Unc, when I think of you, good things come to mind: Fishing, Saints Games, Money Grabs, Family, Caring for others and probably above all, living an honest & honorable life. Take it easy, but take it ! All the best, Herbie, Jr.\n70: Happy, Happy 89th Birthday, Uncle Joe The world would be a better, different place if every child had the privilege of having an Uncle Joe in his life! \"Uncle Joe's coming over\" were some of the best words to hear throughout the years, from the time we were little until Mom moved across the lake a year or so ago. Laughs, life-lessons, boxes of chocolate, and other surprises always came along with you (mops, Elmer's candy, lip balm...). We continue to be amazed at your ability to keep track of all of us, our kids, spouses, schools, careers, etc. and the appearance of the Christmas money each year. Dad and Herbie cherished your fishing trips. Mom enjoyed our visits and calls to keep in touch. And we all appreciated your TLC for Dad and each of us when he was sick. Thanks for a life-time of support and love. Cherreen, Jon, and Jon, Jr.\n72: Melanie Horil Billiot | Rebecca Billiot Gibson with Husband Greg & daughters Desi & Leah | Hank Billiot | Kathryn Billiot\n73: HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JOE! Thank you for all the wonderful memories: - money grabs -goodies from the basement - visits -getting me together with my cousins - gifts - letters of encouragement -ALWAYS BEING THERE! and for the wonderful example you are and influence you've had on me, my children and generations to come. You never forget anyone on special occasions. Your generosity and thoughtfulness has endeared my entire family to you. (I've always thought it awesome that you would send your mother (MaMar) flowers on YOUR birthday). I have only 4 letters in my safe and one of them is one you wrote to me 28 years ago with your loving words of support and encouragement when I got married. We love you and treasure you.\n74: Cousin Joe in the Navy 1942, Puerto Rico | Vera Schulz Keiffer & Hilda Schulz\n75: The McAuliffe's - Ed & Pat, Kim, Dan, Mike, and Mark with spouses & grandchildren\n76: When I think about Cousin Joe, I always get a smile on my face. He's fun and funny! He's there for anyone who needs anything at any time. My children, Johnny, Mary, Jeff, Chris, Keiffer, and Judy, and now my grandchildren, have all been recipients of his pulling $ bills out out their ears, jokes, and the ever-present tuna kites that Cousin Joe gave them over the years. (I actually saved a few.) Joe's Mom, Leona, and my Mom, Vera, were sisters. As a little girl and for years to come, I would go to 4324 Jefferson Hwy. to visit. Joe would be praised for being a dedicated son, caregiver, chauffeur, and all-around generous and loving son, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, cousin, and even a long distance liaison to Aunt Hilda, our Mom's other sister who lived in Japan and California. My husband, Sonny, thoroughly enjoyed the times he and Joe drove to Shell Beach to go fishing, but only after stopping at several grocery stores to say \"hi\" and to \"check the shelves\". All of us who\n77: have been blessed being part of Joe's life can say we have seen FAMILY in action. I've always said, \"Every family needs a Joe.\" Happy Birthday, Love Jackie, Sonny & Family | Hilda & Vera 1912\n78: Roses are Red Violets are Blue, And we all knew That we could count on you! Fondly, Carol Horil\n79: I may be the oldest living of Joe's relatives, at least on the Schulz side of the family. My earliest memories of Joe, Ferd, and Herbie date back to when they lived in Metairie, maybe on Metairie Heights. They lived within walking distance of Indian Mound and ran a rabbit trap nearby that I remember visiting. I guess I was about 5 or 6. My next earliest memories of Joe and family are of their \"new\" house, the present house. The basement was so interesting with the woodworking tools. I used to wander into the big back yard where across the back fence was a beautiful pack of deer hounds. Other memories about Joe's house include a huge round kitchen table, a piano with a stool you could spin around on, a hammock on the front porch, and Uncle Ferd in his rocker. The piece de resistance of all memories was the occasion of introducing Aunt Leona and Uncle Ferd to my fiancee Jill with the belief that she would be accepted if given a box of Gold Bricks on the way out. She was. Sorry Joe, I can't be more specific, because in my mind you are part of one great family and also because you are SO MUCH OLDER THAN I AM! --- Cousin Dave\n83: \"Ask any mermaid you happen to see.........
