Christians as do non-christians often tie themselves to belief that was handed down from previous generation. Or they hold prejudices picked up along their journey through life, we can’t do this. Often these beliefs are false, but the mind is closed to any other opinion. Thus this closed mind becomes our greatest obstacle to gain knowledge and truth. And so what we eat does make a difference. We need to find out of what is nutrient, what is poison. Fast food is poison and we need to understand that. I’ve seen christians reject clear bible teaching, because of having a closed mind concerning a particular subject, but that’s not you. The lack of knowledge concerning why christians get sick is appalling. Then the bible asked, is any sick among you? And we must become like the Berean christians in Acts 17:11.

Acts 17:11 (KJV) 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

In order to gain knowledge, we need to begin by separating what we know to be true from what we have always accepted. We need to separate true knowledge from belief or opinion. Did you get that? We need to separate true knowledge from belief or opinion. I did extensive studies along these lines and I’ve seen the truth after 40 years, four decade and a half of preaching. Let us stimulate our thinking. Why do you eat the way you do? Why do you use a fork and a spoon instead of chopsticks or some other instrument to place food in your mouth? Why do most Americans eat three major meals a day? Why in other parts of the world two and sometimes only one is the norm. Why is the majority of food that is consumed in America cooked? Why do many people consider a meal incomplete without a sugar dessert? Oh my God, I’ll get on the sugar tomorrow.

TitleShort communication: Microbial quality of raw milk following commercial long-distance hauling.
Publication TypeJournal Article
Year of Publication2015
AuthorsDarchuk, EM, Meunier-Goddik, L, Waite-Cusic, J
JournalJ Dairy Sci
Date Published2015 Dec
KeywordsAnimals, Bacterial Load, Food Contamination, Food Microbiology, Food Quality, Milk, Transportation

Hauling is a critical part of the commercial milk supply chain, yet very few studies have aimed to understand its effect on raw milk quality. This study focused on the effect of extended-duration tanker use during hauling on raw milk quality at a commercial facility. Standard tanker use [cleaned-in-place (CIP) once per 24h] served as a control and an incremental between-load water rinse with sanitizer treatment (RS) was evaluated to mitigate any effect from extended duration hauling. During this study, 1 commercial truck with 2 trailers was monitored for 10d. The truck collected milk at a large dairy farm, transported the milk to a manufacturing facility, and then returned to the same farm for a second load. Each round-trip journey took between 10 and 12h, allowing for 2 loads per 24-h use period. Following the second delivery, the truck was cleaned by CIP treatment starting a new treatment day. Producer samples were collected from the raw milk bulk tank on the farm before loading milk into the tanker. The same milk was sampled directly out of the tanker truck before unloading at the manufacturer. Effect on individual bacteria count, thermophilic spore count, and preliminary incubation count was quantified through common industry tests. Surface sponge swabs were also used to monitor tanker sanitation and the efficacy of cleaning treatments. Results did not identify a negative effect on raw milk quality due to extended duration hauling. Whereas the addition of RS did not provide any measurable quality benefits for the microbial milk quality, swab results demonstrated that the RS treatment was able to reduce surface bacteria in the tanker, although not to the same level as the full CIP treatment. Based on this study, current CIP practices for long distance milk hauling appear to be effective in mitigating any measurable effect on raw milk quality.

Vivint Solar and BlueWave Announce Community Solar Agreement in Massachusetts

منشور على 5-1-2016
Vivint Solar
Vivint Solar and BlueWave have announced an alliance to offer residents of Massachusetts the opportunity to become BlueWave community solar members.

Vivint Solar and BlueWave will sell community solar memberships in Southeastern and Central Massachusetts. These projects are located in Oxford and Fairhaven, Massachusetts, which will provide electricity savings to nearly 250 customers as early as March 2016. Community solar allows more residents to access low-cost, clean solar power without putting panels on their roofs. It's a great solution for those households that reside in multi-unit buildings or do not have suitable rooftops for installation.

"We are pleased to align with BlueWave on this new offering," said Jan Newman, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Vivint Solar. "We love being able to provide more opportunities for people to go solar and know that community solar will be a solution for many households that are wanting the economical and environmental benefits of solar, but may be facing some installation restrictions."

"Community solar is a great product that's revolutionizing the energy market," said Chris Gosline, Managing Director at BlueWave. "It's simple, it's accessible, and we are thrilled to have Vivint Solar as our partner in bringing community solar to residents across Massachusetts."

Vivint Solar and BlueWave plan to expand community solar across Massachusetts and take the product to new markets throughout the U.S. in 2016.

Vintage magazine cover

Cover of August 1930 issue of magazine "Koku Jidai". Artwork by painter Suzuki Gyosui  born 1898 in Akita prefecture and a graduate of the Tokorozawa Rikugun Hiko Gakko. In 1927 his artwork illustrated aviation stories in the magazine "King" and in 1929 contributed artwork in another magazine, "Shonen Club". A year later he dedicated himself in creating aviation subjects earning the nickname "Air Force Suzuki Gyosui".  Died in 1982.
The aircraft on the cover is a Junkers F-13 seaplane with the registration J-BALG which according to the civilian register site belonged to Teikoku Kaibo Gikai, then to Nippon Koku KK until it crashed n March 1934.

Harold K said...

Having seen no comments on your last several posts leads me to make a personal observation. I suspect that many blog readers are like me: with an interest in aviation in Japan, but no first hand knowledge of Japan itself.
I therefore have little to add to a post like this one; but I VERY MUCH enjoy reading such "atmospheric" posts. They help to put the aircraft (and their pilots) that we outside Japan know something about into the context of Japanese history and society. I find that valuable and meaningful.
Keep it up, please.

D. Chouinard said...

I agree with Harold K.

The magazine cover and the beautiful ukiyo-e print in the post below show aspects of Japanese culture, and are very much welcome!
All of it helps round out the people and a time that we have a collective interest in, therefore it's relevant and helps our understanding of the subject.

I know a few things about Japan, but not nearly enough to call myself "well informed", so the history and culture presented here are always welcome!

Thank you!

Beijing 2008 Preparations - Three Weeks to Go

Final preparations for the 2008 Summer Olympics are in full swing in Beijing. This includes completing hundreds of construction projects, reconstructions, pollution controls, cultural training, and a general "beautifying" of greater Beijing. Rehearsals and drills take place daily as Chinese citizens hurry to finish up - after all, the whole world is coming soon. The Olympics are set to begin on August 8th. (24 photos total)

A visitor walks down a once historical street that belongs to Beijing's oldest neighbourhoods but has now been turned into the city's newest tourist attraction on June 17, 2008. Beijing city and local banks have poured 9.2 billion yuan (1.3 billion USD) into restoration work on Qianmen Street, they claim that their goal is to restore it to its former glory a century ago during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), however critics have charged that the street has been turned into a Disney-style version of old China that bears little resemblence to reality.

Rocky Three and BABYEATERS by Kate Nacy

Earl uses the Internet to check his eagles.
     Someone put a webcam in a nest of baby eagles and now the baby eagles are Earl’s baby eagles and he checks them when he doesn’t feel like eating or sleeping. It’s mostly eagles kissing and puking on each other but that’s a-okay by Earl. He calls them Rocky One, Rocky Two, Rocky Three and Rocky Four.
     Earl wears a floral dressing gown and smokes a thin cigarette. He ashes in a fish-shaped dish upon which the proverb Kiss My Bass is inscribed. Earl looks in the mirror, gives himself a frown and says, I’m concerned about your lifestyle, Earl. Then he gives himself an exhausted face and says, Oh just take a shower, Earl.
     The good news is Earl has a coach called Harvey Abramowicz. Harvey Abramowicz is a Certified Life Coach and ninety-nine percent of his clients report feeling somewhat satisfied with his performance. Earl and Harvey telecommunicate, which means Harvey calls Earl to discuss Earl’s broken life and when they finish discussing Earl’s broken life they brainstorm ways to make flow charts about it. This technique is called manifesting. Earl doesn’t like to draw so he gets Harvey to make the flow charts. Later, Harvey mails the flow charts to Earl by USPS for an extra fee and Earl finds this reasonable.
     Today Earl’s phone rings at 4PM on the dot.
     Harvey says, Hey Earl! Que pasa, hombre?
     Normally Earl discourages cockamamie jokes but Harvey and Earl are involved in a Process of Discovery and Earl is discovering Harvey doesn’t like to use only English words.
     Harvey says, I hope you’re excited because I’m excited!
     Then he says, Any decision beats no decision!
     Then he says, Life is a zig-zag! Life is a triangle!
     Earl enjoys visualizing Harvey. He envisions Harvey wearing a headset and reclining in a voluptuous armchair. He envisages Harvey polishing a brass dolphin from the International Federation of Coaches and using a fountain pen to jot notes about Earl’s internal landscape, a landscape regularly described by Earl as an umbral toilet of disappointment.
     Harvey coughs into the phone and says something about healing and moving forward. Then he says something about an interior dialogue of negative chatter which keeps us from triumphing over challenges and getting inspired to create the lives we deserve.
     Harvey says, Are you picking up what I’m laying down? Are you? Well are you Earl?  but Earl’s end of the phone rests supine on his air mattress.
     Earl is at the computer with his face in his palms.
     The bad news is Rocky Three is missing, which can only mean he fell from the nest to his death or was murdered by his brothers in an act of brutal avian fratricide. Earl tightens the floral dressing gown around his waist. Harvey shouts, Sayonara! from the phone on his air mattress but Earl never hears.
     Earl tells himself it doesn’t have to mean something.
     It doesn’t have to mean something, but probably, it does.

John Hottinger and Carl Cummins: Runoff elections? Yes, please -- but make them instant

John Hottinger and Carl Cummins // Published January 13, 2009 in Minneapolis Star Tribune
Improving the election process and safeguarding Minnesota's reputation for voting integrity are among the top issues at the State Capitol this year in the wake of the U.S. Senate race recount.

One idea, backed by DFL Sen. Ann Rest and Republican Rep. Laura Brod, is to use runoff elections as an alternative to recounts. Both have said they plan to introduce legislation this session to replace recounts with December runoffs as a fairer way to determine winners in contested and close elections.

It is good that the two legislators are looking at ways to improve the democratic process. Runoff elections ensure that winners in single-seat races can legitimately claim they have won their office with the support of a majority of the voters. Runoff elections would also reduce, although not eliminate, the likelihood of recounts.

The idea of runoff elections is gaining growing consideration in Minnesota, where plurality elections are becoming the norm. In the past election alone, five races -- in addition to the Senate race -- were decided by a minority of voters: the Third and Sixth Congressional District races, the House District 41A and 51A races, and the Senate District 16 race. Fourteen statewide elections have been won with less than majority support since 1998, when Jesse Ventura became governor with 37 percent of the vote.

But a better way than a second, expensive election in December is an instant-runoff election, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. By capturing voters' additional preferences on the general election ballot, we eliminate the need to ask voters to make a second trip to the polls, which history shows many do not make

Instant-runoff voting, or IRV, is a tested and accepted system that rolls two elections into one. Imagine it in the recent Senate race, where no candidate topped out with a majority of first-choice votes. Voters would have ranked their favorite candidate first, knowing that if their candidate didn't end up in the top two, their second choice would be counted. For instance, votes cast for Dean Barkley and the other less-popular candidates would have been redistributed to more-popular candidates based on voters' second choices until either Franken or Coleman emerged with a majority of votes.

December runoffs are not only expensive, they attract far fewer voters than general elections -- in the recent Georgia Senate race, just 59 percent of those voting in the general election returned for the runoff. Moreover, IRV ensures that voters can cast a ballot for their favorite candidate without fear of "wasting" their vote or inadvertently helping elect the candidate they least prefer.

We do not believe that Minnesotans would like to see political campaigns go on even longer -- most of us would like the decision made on Election Day, when turnout is greatest, when campaigns have come to an end and when we've made the vast public expenditure necessary to run an election.

The choice for improvement is between IRV, which assures us of a 50 percent winner with one election, and a separate runoff, which results in higher public cost; longer, more costly political campaigns, and smaller voter turnout. In a time of deficits, the cost-saving IRV approach should be attractive to Democrats and Republicans alike.

IRV is already in use in more than half a dozen jurisdictions across the United States and in foreign democracies such as Ireland and Australia. Nearly a dozen other cities are slated to use IRV in the near future. In Minnesota, campaigns are underway in St. Paul and Duluth for the adoption of IRV.

Contrary to Brod's statement that IRV is unconstitutional, it has been found in several state courts to uphold the principle of "one person, one vote." We expect a similar outcome soon in a lawsuit against IRV now pending in Hennepin County.

To assist Minnesota cities that wish to use IRV for municipal elections, Rest and Rep. Steve Simon introduced legislation last session that provides consistent rules for the conduct of IRV elections. FairVote Minnesota is pushing for the introduction of this legislation again in the current session.

Scope and Content

Nearly all the Lushington papers, portraits and other pictures eventually passed to Susan Lushington and were kept at Kingsley where she lived until her death. In 1942 Susan Lushington wrote to her cousin Frank Norris 'We have all been told to empty our drawers of old letters for the Government Salvage, but I find it very difficult to give up delicious letters of the past which I have always kept in reserve for my old age! There are all Grand papa's old road maps & note books & little old things kept by Aunt Fanny & all our children [sic] letters to father from Pyports & my letters to him from India etc. Must they all go & make lining for shells? It's a grim thought that no one after me would want them.'

Fortunately Susan did not follow Government advice and most of the archive was retained. From time to time she made items available to authors and others researching the period and people they covered. One author in particular was William Gaunt who stayed with Susan when researching his pioneering work 'The Pre-Raphaelite Tragedy' in 1942. Following Susan's death in 1953 the archive passed to her nephew and executor Mr Norris. Very little was done with the archive although some paintings appear to have been sold or given to galleries. When Mr Norris died the collection passed to his widow who kept most of it at her home in Richmond. In November 2005 the archive was given by Richard Norris to David Taylor who, in turn, presented it to the Surrey History Centre.

The archive consists mainly of thousands of letters between the various family members including Stephen, Vernon and his three daughters. There is also a large collection of Susan Lushington's correspondence, diaries and other material relating to her life and musical interests at Kingsley.

Although a few autographed letters from well-known literary and artistic people which once in the archive appear to have been given away or sold including letters to and from various members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, what remains forms an extremely important archive in its own right and will be of interest to historians interested in 19th century art, music, politics and social life.

There are over one thousand letters between Vernon and Jane Lushington. When Vernon travelled the circuit as a County Court Judge he wrote to his wife frequently often describing the town and villages in Surrey and Hampshire in which he was staying or through which he had passed. The letters to and from all members of the family contain a great deal of information about life at Pyports and in the village of Cobham. Susan's diaries from the 1890s contain an enormous amount of detailed information and colourful accounts of her activities and visitors both to Pyports and their London home. These included Thomas Hardy who in his own journal wrote of how he had dined with the Lushingtons and had seen the portrait of Stephen Lushington 'the man who had known the Byron secret.' The later correspondence of Susan Lushington is also of great interest for its musical connections as well as correspondence from members of the armed forces in the Boer War and World War I and II. The World War I correspondence contains graphic accounts of life in the trenches as well as material relating to the transport of horses to the front.

Significant items within the archive include letters from Sir Hubert Parry, composer; letters from George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle, artist; letter from Thomas Hardy, writer; letters from Ralph Vaughan Williams, composer; letters from William Robinson, pioneer gardener; letters from Arthur Hughes, Pre-Raphaelite artist, and members of his family, and a letter from William Holman Hunt, Pre-Raphaelite artist, and letters from members of his family.

For more details of the individual series comprising the archive, see below.

Administrative / Biographical History

In his life of Sir Leslie Stephen, Noel Annan has written of the emergence in Victorian Society of an intellectual aristocracy which has profoundly influenced English politics, education and literature during the 19th century. The Lushington family were at the heart of that group. A glance at the index of the biographies of many of the great names of the nineteenth century will usually reveal at least one or two references to members of the Lushington family. The Lushington family archive covers three generations of the family.

Dr Stephen Lushington (1782-1873)
Stephen Lushington was an eminent lawyer who made his reputation as counsel to Queen Caroline, wife of George IV, in the matter of her divorce, and to Lady Byron in her divorce. Throughout his life, Stephen was an ardent reformer and staunch churchman, campaigning for the abolition of capital punishment and supporting his friend William Wilberforce by speaking in favour of the Slave Trade Abolition Bill. He was also involved with members of the Clapham Sect. Stephen Lushington spent the last years of his life at Ockham Park, Surrey which belonged to the Byron's daughter, Ada Lovelace. A neighbour wrote 'At Ockham Park the famous Dr Lushington collected around him the cleverest folk of the day' and visitors at Ockham included John Ruskin, William Holman Hunt, William Michael Rossetti, Thomas Woolner, Elizabeth Gaskell, Edward Lear, Benjamin Jowett and the Christian Socialist F D Maurice.

At Ockham Lushington's daughters took over the running of the Ockham Industrial Schools which had been created under Lady Byron's influence. It was there that the two celebrated former slaves William and Ellen Craft were both educated and employed after their escape from the USA.

In 1821 Stephen Lushington married Sarah Grace Carr (died 1837) whose father Thomas Carr, a Scottish lawyer, had known Sir Walter Scott and Robert Southey and whose circle of friends included the writers Joanna Baillie, Maria Edgeworth, and Anna Letitia Barbauld together with Harriet Martineau, Henry Crabb Robinson, Sir Humphrey Davy, Lady Byron and William Wordsworth. Sarah Carr's sisters were Laura, Lady Cranworth whose husband, a Whig politician was twice Lord Chancellor and a neighbour a friend of Charles Darwin; and Isabella, Lady Eardley whose husband was Sir Culing Eardley a religious campaigner and a prime mover in the founding of the Evangelical Alliance.

Stephen Lushington was a judge of the High Court of Admiralty from 1838 and Dean of Arches from 1858 to 1867. He died at Ockham Park in 1873.

Vernon Lushington (1832-1912)
Vernon Lushington was the fourth of Stephen's sons. He was a twin and his brother Godfrey achieved a distinguished career in the Civil Service as Permanent Under-Secretary at the Home Office. Vernon was a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge where he became a member of the Cambridge Apostles; his contemporaries included F D Maurice, John Sterling, Arthur Hallam and Alfred Tennyson. Through the society he was introduced to John Stuart Mill and Thomas Carlyle for whom he worked for a period as an unpaid secretary, receiving Carlyle's unstinted praise. At Cambridge Vernon came under the influence of Auguste Comte and Positivism. Through Positivism Vernon met Frederic Harrison who introduced him into a new circle of friends which included George Eliot, Herbert Spencer, Anthony Trollope, Longfellow and Wagner. Another close friend was Richard Monkton Milnes at whose parties in London Vernon met Palmerston, Dickens, Browning and Landseer. Vernon's twin brother Godfrey introduced him to William Morris who persuaded him to contribute an article on Carlyle in the first issue of 'The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine'. Morris later became a life-long friend of Lushington's. Through the Cambridge booksellers, Daniel and Alexander Macmillan, Vernon was drawn into Christian Socialism and went on to serve on the Council of the Working Men's College alongside Lowes Dickinson, John Ruskin, D G Rossetti and the sculptor Alexander Munro. It was also through the Working Men's' College that Vernon Lushington met Arthur J. Munby, the extraordinary barrister cum poet who had a questionable obsession with working class women. It was through the Working Men's College that Lushington came to introduce Edward Burne-Jones to Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Burne-Jones later wrote to Lushington, 'My first introduction to Gabriel was your doing - and big results it brought into my life'. With his friend, the sculptor, Thomas Woolner, Vernon Lushington visited Alfred, Lord Tennyson on the Isle of Wight and became a close friend of the family.

From the late 1850s Vernon and his brother Godfrey became increasingly involved with Beesly, Harrison, Crompton, J N Bridges and Congreve in helping the Labour Movement. Sidney and Beatrice Webb wrote of 'the talented young barristers and literary men, who, from this time forward became the trusted legal experts and political advisors of the leaders of the Trade Union Movement'. Vernon and Godfrey took up the cause of Lancashire Cotton Operatives who were starving as a result of the sudden stoppage of American cotton during the Civil War. Vernon corresponded about this cause with the novelist Elizabeth Gaskell to whom he was known as 'Cousin V'.
Vernon Lushington was also a close friend of the social reformer Charles Booth and their two families were often together.

Vernon became a distinguished lawyer, a QC from 1868, Deputy Judge Advocate General, 1860-1869, Secretary to the Admiralty, 1869-1877, and a County Court judge in Surrey from 1877. Vernon married Jane Mowatt, daughter of Francis Mowatt, who was Liberal MP for Penryn and afterwards for Cambridge (and a friend of Richard Cobden and John Bright), on 20 February 1865 at Holy Trinity, Brompton. Jane was born on 24 September 1834 in Australia, died in London on 23 January 1884 and was buried in Pyrford churchyard on 26 January 1884. Vernon died on 24 January 1912. Vernon Lushington's twin brother Godfrey and his sister Alice also feature in the archive.

Sir Godfrey Lushington, GCMG, KCB (1832-1907)
He was a civil servant and promoter of prison reform. He was Permanent Under-Secretary of State of the Home Office of the United Kingdom from 1886 to 1895. During his Home Office tenure the Whitechapel Murders gripped the public attention and imagination. He also took an active interest in the Dreyfus Affair and wrote one of the longest letters ever published by 'The Times' on the matter. Godfrey Lushington's wife Beatrice, whom he married in 1865, was daughter of Samuel Smith of Combe Hurst, Surrey, and granddaughter of William Smith MP and a cousin of Florence Nightingale and Barbara Bodichon.

Alice Lushington (1829-1903)
She was a pioneer educationalist. She became Lady Principal of the First College for Training Women Teachers for High Education opened in 1878, now called the Maria Grey Training College. She was also Lady Principal of the College for Female Pupil Teachers of the Voluntary School in Liverpool which were opened in 1881. Together with her sister Frances (b. 1827), she later opened the Ockham Schools in Kingsley, Hampshire.

Vernon and Jane Lushington lived for a while at Wheelers Farm, Pyrford, before moving to Pyports, Cobham, whilst maintaining 36 Kensington Square as their London residence. Families with close links to Vernon and Jane Lushington include Montgomery of Blessingbourne, Ireland; Massingberds of Gunby Hall, Lincolnshire; Bell of Rounton Grange and Mount Grace Priory; Howard of Naworth; Stanley of Alderley; Rathbone of Liverpool; Farrer of Abinger; Buxton of Surrey; Vaughan Williams of Leith Hill Place and High Ashes, Surrey; Darwin of Down House and Cambridge; and Litchfield.

Vernon and Jane Lushington had three daughters who together represent the third generation in the archive.

Katherine 'Kitty' Lushington (1867-1922)
In 1890 Kitty Lushington married Leopold Maxse the journalist and political writer whose family then lived at Dunley Hill near Effingham, Surrey. She became a well-known London hostess. The Maxse family were friends of George Meredith who lived nearby at Box Hill. Kitty's friendship with Virginia Woolf resulted in her being used as the model for 'Mrs Dalloway'. Kitty and Leo were engaged at Talland House in Cornwall which was the summer residence of the Stephen family. Woolf later used events at the summer house parties at Talland as the basis of her novel 'To The Lighthouse'. In 1900 Kitty corresponded with Christabel Pankhurst on the matter of women's suffrage which she and Leo supported.

Margaret Lushington (1869-1906)
Margaret married Stephen Massingberd of Gunby Hall, Lincolnshire. At their marriage in Cobham in 1895 Stephen's cousin the young Ralph Vaughan Williams played the organ. The Massingberds were related to the Wedgwoods and the Darwins and Stephen's mother Emily Caroline Massingberd was a well-known campaigner for women's rights. Margaret and Stephen organised music festivals in Lincolnshire and it was probably during one of his visits to Gunby that Ralph Vaughan Williams conceived the ideas for his composition 'In the Fen Country'.

Susan Lushington (1870-1953)
Susan, the youngest daughter, never married. After her father's death she moved to Kingsley just over the Surrey border in Hampshire. There she established herself as a rather eccentric, somewhat formidable, but much loved personality. She lived an extremely active and varied life, taking part in musical pursuits of all types and was awarded the MBE in 1943. Among her circle of friends in her early years was the explorer and diplomat Gertrude Bell. Many of her musical friends including Ralph Vaughan Williams participated in these musical events. The archive contains letters from many people involved in the development and performance of music in the early 20th century. During the World War I and World War II Susan Lushington corresponded with a large number of servicemen who were based at the army camp at Bordon near her Kingsley home. They were invited into her home to share her musical interests, and later wrote back to her from the front line.

All three daughters were talented musicians and were tutored in their musical studies by Sir Hubert Parry, a family friend. Hubert called Kitty 'my darling Kittiwake'. The artist Arthur Hughes, another family friend, painted a portrait of Jane Lushington and the three girls at their Cobham home, entitled 'The Home Quartet'. For their more formal educational studies the girls were tutored for a while by the novelist George Gissing. After their mother's early death, the three girls were taken under the wing of Mrs Julia Stephen, wife of Sir Leslie and she became a second mother. The Stephen and Lushington families had been close neighbours at Kensington Square in London.

The Community Foundation Pavilion was the former Carpenters Shop for the PPG plant and built in 1945.

In this unique building, wooden crates for worldwide transport of sheet glass were once fabricated. Its energy efficient V-shaped roof continues to provide natural light and ventilation. This building has since been preserved as a public and private event space available for rent. The abundant glass windows, spacious main room, and facilities make it the perfect spot for any gathering up to 175 people (120 with tables/chairs). Uses could include parties, work events, and family gatherings, among others. There are also multiple picnic tables under cover adjacent to the building on the Barone Patio. If you wish to rent out this unique space an event coordinator will be on site at the time of the event. The Pavilion was a gift from and therefore dedicated to the Community Foundation of Mount Vernon and Knox County. It is located behind the Urton Clock House, which is on Pittsburgh Avenue.

PURPOSE. It has been established that Na,K-ATPase activity is higher in lens epithelium than fibers. However, others have suggested the Na,K-ATPase enzyme may be inactive or absent in the central 10% of the epithelium. Studies were conducted to measure and compare Na,K-ATPase specific activity and to examine Na,K-ATPase protein expression in the anterior and equatorial regions of porcine lens epithelium. METHODS. Na,K-ATPase activity was determined by measuring the ouabain-sensitive rate of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis. Western blot analysis was used to detect Na,K-ATPase catalytic subunit (α) and glycoprotein subunit (β) protein as well as β-actin which was used as a loading control. RESULTS. Na,K-ATPase specific activity was more than two times higher in the equatorial epithelium than the anterior 50% of the epithelium. However, the abundance of Na,K-ATPase α1 isoform protein was similar in the two regions. Neither the α2 nor α3 Na,K-ATPase isoform could be detected in the anterior or equatorial epithelium, but Na,K-ATPase β1 protein was detected in both regions. In contrast to the observed regional difference in Na,K-ATPase activity, the activity of a different P-type ATPase, plasma membrane Ca-ATPase (PMCA), was not significantly different in the anterior and central epithelium. Western blot analysis indicated the presence of two PMCA isoforms, PMCA2, and PMCA4. CONCLUSIONS. Na,K-ATPase activity is significantly higher at the equatorial region of the epithelium compared with the anterior, even though the level of Na,K-ATPase protein is similar in the two regions. It is possible that nonuniform distribution of functional Na,K-ATPase activity contributes to the driving force for circulating solute movement through the lens fiber mass.

Serene Scenery Sunday

Tail wags, dear readers. It's me, Stormy. I thought I'd take Serene Scenery Sunday myself this week - just to be certain there aren't any small 's' storm pix involved. Ahem. Not all of us find small 's' storms as intriguing as Ammy and our mom do! How about we stick to a tour of the Ao4 Gardens instead?

We have some pretty cool ornamental and native grasses in the garden. Here are a couple Feather Reed Grass plantings:

Feather Reed Grass

Here are the tops of the Pampas Grass:

Pampas Grass

The grass part itself is over seven feet tall right now! (That's over 2 meters!) Isn't it cool?

This is called either a Porcupine Grass or a Zebra Grass:

Zebra/Porcupine Grass

Dave and I go with the "Zebra" name - in keeping with our black and white thing. Ha roo roo roo!

Here is the soft top of a little Dwarf Fountain Grass:

Dwarf Fountain Grass

They are sweet little grasses that are about a foot high.

the Smoke Tree Mom and Dad had to cut down because of one of those small 's' storms? Check it out now!

Smoke Tree

It's making a great come-back!

Here's a close-up of some Purple Emperor Sedum:

Purple Emperor Sedum

Isn't the bee cool? Zim liked that part.

The petunias up on the deck are still going strong:

And you may remember what else is up by the deck - the tomatoes! I'm happy to report Mom and Dad ate one tomato from the upside-down thing already and Mom expects to pick five more today! Do you remember the late entry in the tomato field? The
Husky Red Cherry Tomato plant? Check it out now:

Husky Red Tomatoes

Yep. The tomatoes are really helping us catch that whole "serene" thing around here.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Tail wags,
