 very old disease that came each year–influenza. It started with the soldier fighting the Great War, but it soon attacked the citizen on the street. A virus that was generally mild, like a bad cold, was mutating into a monster. Coffin makers struggled to keep up with the need. Store merchants could not keep their shops open as clerk after clerk fell ill, some needing permanent replacements. Murder and suicide rates went up with the terror felt by the most upstanding citizen crumbling at the thought of waiting to see who would become ill next. Soldiers blamed the Germans for spreading the disease. Preachers blamed sin. Your fellow citizen was your enemy simply because they breathed near you. When it finally began to subside, it left behind orphans, widows, neighborhood children with no playmates, and classrooms with missing teachers. The 1918 influenza pandemic killed 675,000 Americans, more than died in all the wars of the 20th century!
My prayer for all of them is that they will be of one heart and mind, just as you and I are, Father—that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me.
Unity shows the world that they are loved by God through the love shown by His followers. Unity will present challenges for the most determined in today’s society, but it will help us to remember that Jesus calls it a glorious thing, and it begins with us!Society Locomotives
The Merthyr Tydfil and District Model Engineering Society currently owns and operates two locomotives. The first being a Class 52 Western Locomotive, 'Western Champion'. The Locomotive was purchased in kitform from Phoniex Locomtovies, with funding from a successful Heritage Lottery Application to 'Awards for All'.
We recently were successful with a second application to 'awards for all' and with this grant the Society purchased a second locomotive, A 'Polly 5' Steam Locomotive. This 2-6-0 Tank Locomotive is also a kit, assembled by the young members of the Society on evenings and weekends, (with the occasional assistance from more senior members) Below are a number of photographs of the both Locomotives.

Design and ideas for nice California pools and landscape. Create a sense of more around your natural swimming pool by taking a feather over or by extending part of the pool. And then place large river rocks near the pool to enhance wild atmosphere. Plant tall plants, ornamental grasses a few meters from the pool to find grass growing on the edges of many lakes and rivers to mimic. Research native plants in your region to find devices that require low maintenance and do not fall leaves could end up in your swimming pool. Plants such as dwarf Alberta spruce, Colorado blue spruce is easy to maintain additions to your California pools and landscape.The adult bone marrow (BM) is the major site of the emerging immune system. Hematopoiesis is the process whereby immune cells are generated from a finite number of hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoiesis is regulated by soluble mediators and intercellular interactions. A major regulatory mechanism of hematopoiesis involves bidirectional crosstalk with the neural system. This communication mainly occurs by the release of neurotransmitters from innervated fibers. The neurotransmitters interact with specific receptors on BM resident cells and release other hematopoietic regulators such as cytokines. Together, the neurotransmitters and cytokines form a complex network to regulate hematopoiesis. Among BM resident cells, the stromal cells are particularly relevant for two reasons: 1) they represent non-neural sources of neurotransmitters, and 2) stromal cells express specific receptors for neurotransmitters. This review focuses on the hematopoietic effects of neurotransmitters belonging to the tachykinins. The two major tachykinins focused in this review are substance P and neurokinin (NK)-A, 11 and 10 amino acid peptides. In BM, the tachykinins interact with two major NK receptors: NK-1 and NK-2. These two receptors appear to limit tachykinin-mediated effects on hematopoiesis. The central roles of NK receptors within a network comprising of cytokines and tachykinins are reviewed.Three views of the Meditation Garden, which included rows of braided Pachira aquatica with a Buddha sculpture at the far end. I also loved the rows of tall planted urns.
Display using Guzmania, Neoregelia, Asparagus, and Echeveria in a landscape with a bridge. This also something that could be done indoors, I suppose, if you have a conservatory.
Chickens! I know urban farming and chicken-keeping are all the rage, but I don't think I've ever seen livestock at the garden show before.
Koi (not totally unexpected in an exhibit promoting water features, I suppose) and a Turtle, which I found enchanting. I'm kind of weird that way. I always notice the plants at the zoo, and the animals at botanic gardens and garden shows.
Bird Sculptures (but no chickens) in the exhibit called Silent Poetry: The Confluence of Stone and Plants, which also included the Anthurium pictured above.
Overall, I find it interesting that the three of the exhibits I enjoyed the most (the vertical gardens from the last post, the meditation garden, and the sculpture garden above) had nothing to do with the sports theme.
What a wonderful time it looks like you had. Your head must have been spinning! Great photos!
I like the Meditation Garden, even though I generally do not like those knotted Pachira aquatica standards.This cold is probably going to kill me, so I don't have to go to class right. Right??
 Unless you are one of those lucky people who makes it through cold, flu, and strep season without even one little cough, the smallest cold becomes a college student's nightmare.
2. Alcohol will make this better right?
3. Nope, I was wrong....does anybody have NyQuil?
4. Do I need to go to classes today?
5. I've already missed too much already, time to go to class on my deathbed.
7. *calls mom* Mom, I'm pretty sure I need to go to Urgent Care.
8. Is this what it's like to be an avid smoker?
9. How much sleep is too much sleep?AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flueid, the leading independent technology company fueling digital real estate transactions, today announced Peter Bowman, its co-founder and CEO, will participate in BofA Securities Virtual FinTech Speaker Series on Tuesday, Dec. 14 at 12 p.m. Eastern.
