God Has Brought Me Laughter, and Everyone Who Hears About This Will Laugh with Me.
The idea that devout religious believers can make with the funny and actually get laughs has its doubters. Those that believe that God has a sense of humor are sarcastic heathens who were already hellbound to begin with. And yet a collection of devout Christian humorists have not only managed to pull off a reverent version of The Onion, they packed it full of honest-to-god snappy headlines and wit-filled articles.
Just check out such examples as Christian couple maintains abstinence through first two years of marriage, Pastor's wife sends body double to sit pleasantly on front pew and Students start ministry to men with ponytails.
But the article In face of declining U.S. morality, Christians emigrate to Muslim countries really takes some shots at sacred cows. It states, "...their goal: To enjoy the comparatively clean moral environment those countries offer." With their willingness to take on politics, the war on terror, and sex, the LarkNews sounds like the Daily Show staff made it to church, returning with their tongues in cheek and souls firmly intact.
But for those who like their irreverent humor kosher, there's the International Jewish Conspiracy website, which promises, "All the Schemes That Are Fit To Print." Taking their cue from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Russian-fabricated fictional guide to Jewish global domination, these guys run with the premise. Promising to be the best source of information, "...from the People Who Brought You Banking," the site keeps the concerned conspiracist up to date on all the intrigue and news.
The following articles should give a taste of what you will find:
"Are You a Giant Lizard?, Conspiracy theorists have claimed that most members of the Illuminati are, in fact, giant shape-shifting lizards. The International Jewish Conspiracy's Medical Corps investigates..."
"So Ask Uncle Zog Already...
Q. Besides monitoring my mail, e-mail and phone calls, and planting thoughts in my head, what other activities do you guys engage in?
-- Derek W., Aryan Nations, Idaho.
A. Oh Derek, you know that I know that you know the answer to that question as well as I do. Silly skinhead."
and... "Star Chamber Uproar Over Gay Marriage Mix-up, ...An effort by goy Puppet George W. Bush to comply with IJC directives to distract from the emptying of the US treasury has brought him into conflict with long-standing programs run by the Council of Commie Pinko Liberal Homo Intellectual Big-City Jews, known throughout the Conspiracy as the Full Monty Group..."
A full understanding of contemporary conspiracies and their histories (see the David Icke Site, The 80 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time, Disinformation.com, and the American Jewish Historical Society) helps with understanding some of the humor and references. But even if you aren't fully versed in who's-who in global domination, this site will keep you laughing. The best part will be knowing what George W. and friends will be up to even before they do.

Inviting the Stranger---I believe
The Road to Emmaus
Now behold, two of them were
travelling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from
Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. So
it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went
with them. But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him. And He
said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another
as you walk and are sad?"
Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, "Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?" And He said to them, "What things?" So they said to Him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see."
Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?" And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. But they constrained Him, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent." And He went in to stay with them.
Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"
So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread. (Luke 24:13-35 NKJV)
The following passages are taken from Father Henri J.M. Nouwen's book "With Burning Heart" published in 1994.
Inviting the Stranger (53-61)
As they listen to the stranger, something changes within the two sad travelers. Not only do they sense a new hope and a new joy touching their inner most being, but their walk has become less hesitant. The stranger has given them a new sense of direction. "Going home" no longer means returning to the only place left to go. Home has become more than a necessary shelter, a house where they can stay as long as they don't know what else to do. The stranger has given their journey a new meaning. Their empty house has become a place of welcome, a place to receive guests, a place to continue the conversation they had so unexpectedly begun.
When you are feeling only your losses, then everything around you speaks of them. The trees, the flowers, the clouds, the hills and valleys, they all reflect your sadness. They all become mourners. When your dearest friend has died, all of nature speaks of her. The wind whispers her name, the branches, heavy with leaves, weep for her, and the dahlias and rhododendrons offer their petals to cover her body. But as you keep walking forward with someone at your side, opening your heart to the mysterious truth that your friend's death was not just the end but also a new beginning, not just the cruelty of fate, but the necessary way to freedom, not just an ugly and gruesome destruction, but a suffering leading to glory, then you can gradually discern a new song sounding through creation and going home corresponds to the deepest desire of your heart.
Of all the words the stranger had spoken, there was one that stands out on the travelers' mind: "Glory." "Was it not necessary," He had said, "that the Christ should suffer before entering into His glory?" Their hearts and minds were still so full of the images of death and destruction. And now here was that word "Glory." It didn't seem to fit, and still, spoken by this stranger, it sets their hearts on fire and makes them see what they had not been able to see before. It was as if they had seen only manure that covered the soil, but never the fruits on the trees that had sprung from it. Glory, light, splendor, beauty, truth---they all seemed so unreal and unreachable! But now there were new sounds in the air and new colors in the fields. Going home had become a good thing. Home calls us. Home is where the table is---the table to sit around, to eat and drink with friends!
And the stranger? Hasn't He become a friend? He makes our hearts burn, He opens our eyes and ears. He is our companion on the journey! Home has become a good place for the friend to come. So they say, "It's nearly evening, and the day is almost over. . .come and stay with us." He doesn't ask for an invitation. He doesn't beg for a place to stay. In fact, He acts as if He wants to go on. But they insist that He come in; they even press Him to stay with them. He accepts. He goes in to stay with them.
Maybe we are not used to thinking about the Eucharist as an invitation to Jesus to stay with us. We are more inclined to think about Jesus inviting us to His house, His table, His meal. But Jesus wants to be invited. Without an invitation He will go on to other places. It is very important to realize that Jesus never forces Himself on us. Unless we invite Him, He will always remain a stranger, possibly a very attractive, intelligent stranger with whom we had an interesting conversation, but a stranger nevertheless. ["Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." (Revelations 3:20)]
Even after He has taken much of our sadness away and shown us that our lives are not as petty and small as we had assumed, He can still remain the one we met on the road, the remarkable person who crossed our path and spoke with us for a while, the unusual personality about whom we can speak to our family and friends.
I have many memories of encounters with people who made my heart burn but whom I did not invite into my home. Sometimes it happens on a long plane trip, sometimes in a train, sometimes at a party. Afterwards I say to my friends: "Let me tell you whom I met today. A quite fascinating person. He said things so remarkable that I couldn't believe what I heard. It seemed that he knew me intimately. Yes, he could read my thoughts and speak to me as if he had known me for a long time. Quite special, quite unique, astonishing even. I wish you could have met him! But he went on to. . . I didn't know where!"
Interesting, stimulating, and inspiring as all these strangers may be, when I do not invite them into my home, nothing truly happens. I might have a few ideas, but my life remains basically the same. Without an invitation, which is the expression of the desire for a lasting relationship, the good news that we have heard cannot bear lasting fruit. It remains "news" among the many types of news that bombards us every day.
It is one of the characteristics of our contemporary society that encounters, good as they may be, don't become deep relationship. Thus our life is filled with good advice, helpful ideas, wonderful perspectives, but they are simply added to the many other ideas and perspectives and so leave us "uncommitted." In a society with such an informational overload, even the most significant encounters can be reduced to "something interesting" among many other interesting things.
Only with invitation to "come and stay with me" can an interesting encounter develop into a transforming relationship.
One of the most decisive moments of the Eucharist---and of our life---is the moment of invitation. Do we say: "It was wonderful to meet you, thank you for your insights, your advice, and your encouragement? I hope the rest of your journey goes well. Goodbye!" Or do we say: "I have heard you, my heart is changing. . .please come into my home and see where and how I live!" This invitation to come and see is the invitation that makes all the difference.
Jesus is a very interesting person; His words are full of wisdom. His presence is heart-warming. His gentleness and kindness are deeply moving. His message is very challenging. But do we invite Him into our home? Do we want Him to come to know us behind the walls of our most intimate life? Do we want to introduce Him to all the people we live with? Do we want Him to see us in our everyday lives? Do we want Him to touch us where we are most vulnerable? Do we want Him to enter into the back rooms of our homes, rooms that we ourselves prefer to keep safely locked? Do we truly want Him to stay with us when it is nearly evening and the day is almost over?
The Eucharist requires this invitation. Having listened to His word, we have to be able to say more than, "This is interesting!" We have to dare to say, "I trust you; I entrust myself, with all my being, body, mind, and soul to You. I don't want to keep any secrets from You. You can see everything I do and hear everything I say. I don't want You to be a stranger any longer. I want You to become my most intimate friend. I want You to know me, not only as I walk on the road and talk to my fellow travellers, but also as I find myself alone with my innermost feelings and thoughts. And most of all, I want to come to know You, not just as my companion on the journey, but as the companion of my soul."
Saying this is not easy, since we are fearful people, and we do not easily entrust every part of ourselves to others. Our fear of being completely open and vulnerable is equal to our desire to know and to be known.
I even hide parts of myself from myself! There are thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are so disturbing to me that I prefer to live as if they were not there.
If I do not trust myself how can I trust anyone else? Still my deepest desire is to love and to be loved, and that is possible only if I am willing to know and to be known.
Jesus reveals Himself to us as the Good Shepherd who knows us intimately and loves us. But do we want to be known by Him? Do we want Him to walk freely into every room of our inner lives? Do we want Him to see our bad side as well as our good, our shadow as well as our light? Or do we prefer Him to go on without entering our home? In the end, the question is: "Do we really trust Him and entrust every part of ourselves to Him?"
When, after the readings and the homily, we say: "I believe in God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in the Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting," we invite Jesus into our home and entrust ourselves to His Way.
As a moment of the Eucharistic celebration and, even more, of our Eucharistic life, the Creed is much more than a profession of faith. And "faith," as the Greek word pistis shows, is an act of trust. It is the great "Yes." It says "Yes" to the One who explained the scriptures to us as scriptures that are about Him. It is this deep "Yes," not only to the words He spoke but also to Him who spoke them, that brings us finally to the table. If we ca say, "Yes, we trust You and entrust our lives to You," we go beyond just waling into His presence; we dare to open ourselves to communion with Him.
The two travelling friends invite, indeed, press, the stranger to stay with them. "Be our guest," they say. They want to be His hosts. They invite the stranger to lay aside his strangeness and become a friend to them. That's what true hospitality is all about, to offer a safe place, where the stranger can become friend. There were two friends and a stranger. But now there are three friends, sharing the same table.
The table is the place of intimacy. Around the table we discover each other. It's the place where we pray. It's the place where we ask: "How was your day?" It's the place where we eat and drink together and say: "Come on, take some more!" It is the place of old and new stories. It is the place for smiles and tears. The table, too, is the place where distance is most painfully felt. It is the place where children feel the tension between the parents, where brothers and sisters express their anger and jealousies, where accusations are made, and where plates and cups become instruments of violence. Around the table, we know whether there is friendship and community or hatred and division. Precisely because the table is the place of intimacy for all the members of the household, it is also the place where the absence of that intimacy is most painfully revealed.
When on the evening before His death, Jesus came together with His disciples around the table; He revealed both intimacy and distance. He shared the bread and the cup as a sign of friendship, but He also said, "Look, here with Me on the table is the hand of the man who is betraying Me."
When I think about my own youth, I think most often of our family meals, especially on feast days. I remember the Christmas decorations, the birthday cakes, the Easter candles, and the smiling faces. But I also remember the words of anger, the walking away, the tears, the embarrassment, and the seemingly endless silences.
We are most vulnerable when we sleep or eat together. Bed and table are the two places of intimacy. Also the two places of greatest pain. And maybe, of these two places, the table is the most important because it is the place where all who belong to the household gather and where family, community, friendship, hospitality, and true generosity can be expressed and made real.
Jesus accepts the invitation to come into the home of His travelling companions, and He sits down at table with them. They offer Him the place of honour. He is in the centre. They are alongside Him. They look at Him. He looks at them. There is intimacy, friendship, community. Then something new happens. Something scarcely noticeable to an untrained eye. Jesus is the guest of His disciples, but as soon as He enters into their home, He becomes their host! And as their host He invites them to enter into full communion with Him.

C. sp. 'Lingga 7' leaves had distinct red main vein and had spathe with yellowish limb and reddish throat, see his blog for the photographs of the spathe. My friend termed it as "red line". They were growing submersed in a sandy stream with water pH of about 5.0. They were many harlequin rasboras in the stream.
We found an unopened spathe which unfortunately did not bloom before melting away.

customer feedback
I took possession of the car today and I am thrilled to say the least.
The car is a fine example of an evo 6.5 and really turns heads. Its tastefully and professionally modified and didnt need much work to bring it up to its former glory. The car is something else on the high boost setting, making some serious power.
All up the whole process cost a total of around $(price removed). We were very close to the mark on that one.
Thanks for your help throughout the process, it was worth it, I have ended up with a great car and what seems like a very reliable and fast one at that.- Julian R Melbourne, Australia 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6 Tommi Makinen Edition

A federal judge today ordered three MIT students to release more information on what they know about security flaws in the MBTA's electronic toll collection system.
In a hearing in a lawsuit brought by the MBTA, Jennifer Granick, an attorney for the students, told US District Judge George O'Toole that the students had already provided the court with the "entire universe of information" the students had developed about the system.

"History really will see what a good job we did in the next couple of weeks," Trump said, pointing to what he said was the Republican Party's success in stopping the so-called "Blue wave" promised by the Democrats in the runup to Tuesday's vote.
Trump claimed that historically speaking, the midterm losses his party faced with him as the sitting president were the lowest since President John F Kennedy's in 1962. President Obama lost 63 House seats in 2010, compared to 27 in Trump's case, Trump noted.
"I thought it was a very close to complete victory," Trump said of the overall election results, pointing to Republican victories in Georgia, Florida and Iowa, among others.
Trump characterized the performance of Republican candidates for governor as "incredible," saying that Republican governors now firmly control the majority of the US's 50 states.
White House Wants Bipartisanship
The president said that he was looking forward to working with Democratic lawmakers including leading House Democrat Nancy Pelosi on issues including trade, the economy, healthcare, infrastructure, and prescription drug assistance. "There are a lot of great things that we can do together," Trump said.
Calling current US economic growth a "miracle" and "really amazing," Trump said that the previously "dead" steel and aluminum industries were back, with miners back to work. Noting that he was looking to protect the environment, Trump added that he didn't want to put US industries at a disadvantage to Washington's foreign competitors.
Trump said that he expects the Democratic House majority to come up with some "fantastic ideas" including the environment and prescription drug prices. "I would like to see bipartisanship, I would like to see unity…and I think we have a very good chance of seeing that," he said.
Border Wall Funding or Bust
"We need the money to build the wall, the whole wall, not pieces of it," Trump stressed. "We need the wall, many Democrats know we need the wall, and we're just going to have to see what happens."
Failed Russiagate Probe
Commenting on the probe into alleged Russian meddling into the 2016 election, Trump urged Democrats against continuing the endevour, and said he was "not concerned" by the investigation, which he called a "hoax."
"It's been a long time. They've got nothing, zero. You know why? Because there is nothing," Trump said. "They can play that game but we can play it better," he added. The Russiagate investigation has been "very bad for our country," the president said, with the Mueller probe failing to find anything. "There's no collusion," Trump said.
Calling the investigation a "disgrace" and a waste of taxpayer money which should never have been started, "because there's no crime," Trump said he had no plans to stop it. "I let it go on, because I don't want to do that, but you're right, I could end it right now — I could say that investigation is over."
CNN Fake News
Going off on CNN reporter Jim Acosta over a question on the migrant caravan, Trump called him a "rude, terrible person," and said that "when you report fake news, you are the enemy of the people."
"It's such a hostile media, it's so sad," Trump later quipped, commenting on another reporter yelling a question without being called upon. "I come in here as a nice person wanting to answer questions and I have people jumping out of their seats screaming questions at me," Trump said of the "hostile" atmosphere at the press conference.
Staff Changes
The Democrats won a majority of the US House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections, and will officially take over when the new Congress takes office in January 2019. Republicans will still be in control of the US Senate in January, as they were able to hold and grow their majority of seats in the election.

Christopher had the time of his life from start to finish, and for that, I thank you. This trip, since he knew it was a possibility in February, has been the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
We were totally blown away by this trip, from the team who met us at the airport and made sure we traversed to the correct car rental agency; to the amazing accommodations at the Sheraton Waikiki; to all of the excursions, especially Pacific Historic Parks' Pearl Harbor experience and Chris' visit to find his great grandfather at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
On Friday when we got to Pearl Harbor, Chris was locked in. He took it all in and enjoyed every minute of his dream come true wish. He absolutely loved this day. It was all very educational and solemn at the same time. He loved experiencing all four tours here, but his favorite was the USS Bowfin. We had an amazing guide, Owen, who was a submariner in Vietnam, and knew this ship from top to bottom. Christopher listened, asked questions and laughed throughout the whole tour. The USS Arizona and the USS Missouri were amazing too.
The biggest surprise for us all was at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. We were told ahead of time what was going on with the honorary disinterment of the USS Oklahoma sailors for DNA testing, and the work to return them to their families, but the process and Christopher's involvement was such an amazing honor for him, and such a proud moment for his mom and dad. You could see the pride and honor on his face as he stood at attention next to the two-star general in the Honorary Platoon as each of the five caskets were carried by. There are no words for this amazing moment in time. Thank You.
Following the disinterment ceremony, Gene, our Punchbowl National Cemetery guide, took us on a tour of the beautiful National Cemetery. This is where Christopher's Great Grandpa Kenneth Virgin's name is carved in the marble stone as a memorial to him and his sacrifice in the Battle of Okinawa. Christopher's interest in all of this stems from the paper he did on his Great Grandfather. Gene had found the name ahead of time and provided Christopher with paper and graphite to rub over the name.
Wow, what a moment. We'd brought a picture of Grandpa and were able to take many pictures of Christopher (and the rest of us) with the memorial. Christopher also got interviewed by two television stations and a newspaper throughout the course of the morning. This was the first disinterment that the allowed media to be at. All were probably wondering how some kid from Missouri ended up in the Honors Platoon.
Thank you is so inadequate for the over the top AMAZING trip of a lifetime you gave Christopher and the rest of our family.

Marc Scott Zeplin "Zep"
Occupation:Cantor Fitzgerald | Equities Trader, PartnerPersonal Memorial Website:http://www.marczeplin.comDedicated Memorial Sites:Reflections:The New York Times Portraits of Grief
The Marc S. Zeplin FoundationHobbies and Special Interests:broadcasting
NY Rangers
A group of friends named and registered a star in the heavens in memory of Marc Zeplin. How fitting as he was a star in the eyes of so many. Successful as an equity trader, he formed close relationships with his clients but he was foremost a family man.
Marc was very caring and devoted to his wife Debra, sons Ryan (left, then 3 yrs old) and Ethan (then 10 months), parents, sister and in-laws. He adored his children and treasured the time he spent with them. Marc was very proud of the new home he and his wife built in Westchester and enjoyed the change from urban to suburban living.
Raised in Long Island, Marc attended Oceanside High School and the University of Michigan where he also continued to earn a master's degree in the acclaimed business school. Marc's first career calling was sports casting. He loved sports of all kinds and enjoyed broadcasting games in Michigan during his college years. However, when he returned to New York, he found immediate employment in the financial world and soon after started at Cantor Fitzgerald where he became a partner.
Marc was truly a "master of the word." He knew how and what to say in order to put you at ease, make you laugh or help you resolve a problem. Marc loved people. He had many friends and demonstrated a zest for living life to the fullest. He was tops in every way. He even worked at the top. The right position for so many years unfortunately was wrong on only one day - September 11, 2001.

Eminem or Marilyn Manson?

But I did hear a version of "This Is Halloween" done my Manson, and I fell in love with it.
(Plus I think Manson is smarter than Eminem)
So both....kinda -_-

last i checked he didn't kill animals on stage
I was being sarcastic.
twelve year olds dont buy his cds... he sure as f*ck doesn't market to them, and if they are listening to it, then where the f*ck are the parents?
I take that back. It's not only twelve year olds who buy his CDs (although they're the majority). It's mostly naive people of whatever age, just like you who can't even detect sarcasm.
i'd like all the marilyn manson haters to take a moment and listen to the sh*t spurting out of your mouths...or fingers in this case... get a clue before you bash an artist who you dont listen to and have a grudge against purely because christian america does.
For your information, I used to be a huge Manson fan when I was as dumb as you are. I've heard every single song he's ever written. And I'm not religious, and I hate America.
Get a clue. I don't hate Manson because I think he's a freak or because I think he's dangerous. I dislike him for the exact opposite reason. He's pathetic. Satanism is so 1970's, and Manson isn't even that scary to look at. Little kids are usually the ones who are too blind to notice the fact that he's a normal human being who thinks he's special just because he can afford a lot of make-up and wigs and he has the guts to wear a dress.
I know he doesn't kill animals. He's too much of a pussy to do something like that. So before you tell me not to stereotype your fellow fans of Manson, first don't stereotype people who dislike him and group us with those fundamentalist conservative Christains.

I never cringe when I see him or hear him say dark things. I laugh most of the time. If he thinks he's too good to wear jeans and a T-shirt or make his face look normal, that automatically shows an ego problem. He doesn't even scare me. If I ever saw him I would probably make fun of him.

I agree.
Marilyn Manson just tries to shock. There are some that say his music is deep. I myself dont think so. I also agree though that he is very intelligent. I have seen him in various interviews where he is not a shocker, but just an average dude. Ive listened to some of his music and, to me, it just seems that he is trying too much to shock and not enough to create great songs.
Eminem, on the other hand, sometimes also makes this mistake, but some of his songs are entertaining to listen to and have an issue to address.
Thats why I pick Eminem. I am not particularly a rap fan, but there are a few songs I like.

Normally used to confirm the absence of off-target effects or prevent dilemmas caused by species variation, human vascular tissues are frequently available. Vascular tissue can be secured from both healthy donors and donors with a range of diseases including diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Biopta can obtain a wide range of blood vessels and our scientists are experts in the dedicated dissection procedures required to isolate functional arteries and veins such as: subcutaneous resistance arteries, mesenteric arteries, coronary arteries, pulmonary arteries and large muscular or conduit arteries such as aorta, tibial artery or saphenous vein.
Biopta utilise a range of techniques including tissue baths (organ baths), wire myographs (small vessel myographs) and perfusion myographs (Biopta's patented PM-1 technology).
Your test compounds can be assessed for either safety/adverse effects or efficacy on arteries and veins of various sizes; effects of blood pressure treatments can be assessed in resistance arteries; vasoconstriction and vasodilatation can be assessed in coronary and muscular arteries.
As part of our GLP vascular safety offering Biopta can screen for common observations as detailed in the table below.
|Tissue Type
|Common Observation
|Small resistance arteries
|Vasoconstriction/vasodilatation; changes in peripheral vascular resistance (indicates potential to alter blood pressure); vascular permeability (leakage)
|Coronary arteries
|Large conducting arteries
|Vascular compliance
|Muscular arteries
To see how Biopta has worked with its clients to investigate drug efficacy and add real value, download our PDF of a vascular case study poster.
Studies are validated with a variety of reference compounds and examples can be viewed by accessing our on-line catalogue of human assays – industry's first and only catalogue of human functional tissue pharmacology assays.
The experimental use of isolated tissue preparations allows for the study of intact biological structures without interference by external influences such as hormones, autonomic nerves or physical factors.
Resistance arteries are involved in regulating organ-specific blood flow and offer the greatest resistance to blood flowing into tissues. Studying the effects of test compounds on the vasculature therefore plays an important role in determining the compounds potential effects on blood pressure; ability to cause organ ischaemia; or vascular permeability (leakage) and ensuing oedema. Hypertension studies tend to focus on resistance vessels because of their ability to change total peripheral resistance.
From our extensive tissue supply network, Biopta can obtain a wide range of organs from which vascular tissues can be obtained. Our scientists are experts in fine dissection procedures, allowing us to isolate functional arteries and veins such as: subcutaneous resistance arteries; mesenteric arteries; coronary arteries; pulmonary arteries; and large muscular or conduit arteries such as aorta, tibial artery or saphenous vein. The dissection and handling of such tissues without causing damage requires a very high level of operator skill. Vascular tissue can be secured from both healthy donors and donors with a range of vascular diseases including diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Biopta utilise a range of techniques for the study of isolated vascular tissues. These systems allow the simultaneous measurement of the isometric response to an agonist in a number of vessel sections from one donor:
In many projects, Biopta generate concentration-response datasets, where a test compound is compared to other standard compounds (e.g. competitor's drugs or endogenous hormones or neurostransmitters) in terms of its potency and magnitude of effect in a particular human tissue.
Figure 1: Human subcutanenous arteries show relaxation responses to acetylcholine (ACh) following preconstriction of the arteries with the thromboxane A2 mimetic, U46619. The presence of the test compound, developed to target iNOS, demonstrated side-effects via inibition of eNOS, resulting in reduced relaxation responses to ACh. The side effect was not observed in the client's preclinical tests.
The concentration dependent effects of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) in human isolated coronary arteries, set up in Biopta's wire myographs, are shown in the graph below. The graph also highlights Biopta's ability to culture blood vessels in order to look at the effect of test compounds over a 2-3 day period. Human coronary arteries show robust contractile responses to 5-HT after 24 and 48 hours of culture. The location of the concentration effect curve is consistent with historical data from Biopta's uncultured vessels and now provides us with a protocol to explore the longer term effects of drug treatment on vasoactive pathways; invaluable for exploring both efficacy and safety mechanisms.

I woke up this morning–another Thursday, so it's household recycling day. We put out paper, plastic and glass in the designated recycling bins each week. Our remaining "garbage" fills only one trash bag a week. The sad thing is, we live in Houston–the fourth largest city in the U.S.–and only 22% of households recycle. Seattle, San Francisco and other progressive cities lead the list, with about two-thirds of the population recycling. Chicago and Detroit are at the bottom of the list.
I read in the Houston Chronicle this week that the City of Houston Department of Solid Waste Management is evaluating the possibility of building a large, state-of-the art recycling plant. This would save the City plenty of money, as well as plenty of landfill space. Other, more landlocked cities do not have the luxury of dumping easily recycled materials in landfills.
Recycling is easy if you make a small effort. The household pickup each week is simple. For $3/month, you get the recycling bin and set it out by the garage on Thursdays. If more neighbors recycled, the cost could go down.
When I purchased a new smartphone last year, I sold the old one to the eBay recycling service for $60. I got a free shipping label and received payment quickly. A few weeks ago, I turned in a 25-year-old laser printer for a $50 rebate on a new, energy-efficient printer. This week I took two old cell phones and a laptop computer to a retail store for recycling.
Local papers and bulletins have notices about community recycling efforts. On October 24, the (Houston) Bay Area Community Advisory Panel (BAYCAP) holds its monthly meeting at the Armand Bayou Nature Center. The topic is the interactions of the 27 plants in the Bay Area, and their recycling efforts. On November 10, the Johnson Space Center Contractors will sponsor free electronic recycling. Materials will be recycled properly and in compliance with e-waste regulations.
Let's think about recycling as a lifestyle issue, not a trash issue.

One Response to Carnegie Shul Chatter May 16, 2019
I am a child of immigrants who came here in the early 1900's. The Ash Family of McDonald ,and Pittsburgh. Growing up, I was taught to iss the Mezuzah upon entering the house and to put one on the door post, when I married, but women were not privileged to know the answer for doing this. Or told what it held. Of course you could see the scroll in the unclosed back when it was
Put up, so in my mind, I believed it was the Ten Commandments. Was never
Told any different. Today at a ripe old age, I found the answer! I cannot thank you enough! At last, I can share this with my children and their children.
In the 50's, Jewish fellows wore a small Mezuzah on a chain around their neck, it was very trendy, and we girls saw them at the swimming pools in and around Pittsburgh. I left there to be a Floridian in 1959. I would love to give my grandsons one of these to bring back the style,but sadly only one of them would be a sure thing. I hope some if your members remember those days.
Thank you again so much, I have shared it with many Ash and Browarsky
Relatives. Many have relatives as do I, remembered in a plaque in the
Carnegie Shul where I loved visiting for Shabbat services on my visits,
Which are now on hold due to Aging and the issues that come with it.
Celebrating The anniversary of Israel is wonderful, i have from handed down, from generation, a commemorative plate, which refers to "The Republic of
Israel, May 14,1948.
It is my Priceless Treasure.
Libby(Lois Ash) Metlika
You can take the girl out of the Pittsburgh area, but you cannot take Pittsburgh and surrounding area out of the girl?????

August 8 1945 September 4 2019
One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me." He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you." To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Armando De La Torre Jr. please visit our Sympathy Store.

For kids, a treehouse can be anything from a castle to a secret base with no adults allowed. In this week's Adventure Arkansas, Sean Bailey introduces a local builder who is helping local families turn their imagination into adventure.
May and Dyer have seen the trees in Grandma Joanie's backyard transform into a fort of fun.
Joanie Dyer says, "They love it. They've spent lots of time playing with the bucket, looking out through the telescope, and swinging, they've loved it a lot."
The Dyer's treehouse is just one of many across Northwest Arkansas constructed and designed by Josh Hart and his team with Natural State Treehouses. The children's response is always the same.
Josh Hart says, "You know every family that we build a treehouse for, it seems like the level of excitement is so high. Even in the middle of winter, parents will tell us that their kids won't come in for dinner, that they're so excited to e in their treehouse all the time."
A lot of planning goes into investing in treehouse to make it last for kids. "I think you have to look at their abilities, and it's also going to be able later on to be changed up a little bit as the kids get older."
The Treehouses are made to grow with the owners, allowing changes such as a slide later becoming a Zipline or climbing wall or certain structures having a second life as a garden shed.
"That's really our foundation, is building something that is safe, made to last for a long time, and if the design is done correctly, be of interest to the kids for many many years."
Safety and quality are top priority, and Hart says they implement all federal and state guidelines for School playgrounds for play structures they build for homes and backyards.
The kids aren't the only ones who enjoy these treehouses.
"Such a rewarding job, you know. I love the carpentry. I love the work. I love the people I work with and the customers, but yeah. As soon as you see a kid run outside and experience that treehouse for the first time it's a wonderful feeling."
To experience the treehouse, the only "iDevice" the kids need is imagination.
"They are sitting at computers, watching their iPads, playing on their iPhones, and we wanted something that would draw them outdoors and last for a long time we expect good things from it."
Hart's team has also designed structures for several public spaces like the Amazeum in Bentonville and the New School in Fayetteville.
Prices for these custom Treehouses can vary from $1,000 and up. Consultations are free and Hart says they will work with a budget.

The Dhaka Stock Exchange will decide on listing of Coppertech Industries today although a probe body of the bourse and the Institute of Chartered Accountants Bangladesh are yet to complete their review reports on the company's financial accounts.
The DSE's hurry to decide on the company's listing before clearing allegations against it has raised questions among the stakeholders.
The Financial Reporting Council on May 14 asked the ICAB to re-audit financial statements of Coppertech and submit the report within 7 working days after allegations of fabrication of financial data had been raised against the company.
The ICAB on Monday informed the FRC that it was unable to re-audit financial statements of Coppertech as the company's auditor Ahmad and Akhtar refused to co-operate with ICAB.
The ICAB wanted various documents relating to Coppertech's accounts, but the auditor did not agree to provide the documents.
The auditor showed various 'illogical and contradictory' reasons when it was asked to provide supporting documents relating to the re-audit, said ICAB officials.
They said that the auditor did not co-operate with the ICAB on the pretext that its partner was abroad.
The auditor also told ICAB to collect necessary documents from the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission frustrating the ICAB, they said.
Such excuses gave the impression that there was something wrong in the reports and auditing and that should be brought to book, an ICAB office bearer told New Age.
So, the ICAB was unable to continue their investigation and submit reports to the FRC, he said.
Officials at the FRC confirmed that it received a letter from the ICAB where they mentioned that the auditor did not extend cooperation to them. They also said that the auditor sought more time from the ICAB as its partner was abroad.
DSE on May 9 decided to review initial public offering application of Coppertech Industries as the company allegedly provided fabricated information in its financial statements and IPO prospectus.
The DSE board on the day asked its management to investigate the issue and submit report within a week.
DSE officials said that the report would be submitted today before the board.
The DSE board might decide whether it would approve listing of Coppertech or not in line with the investigation report.
Sources in DSE said that there was pressure on the bourse to approve the listing of the company amid hectic lobbying from some powerful quarter.
When asked why the bourse was rushing to make decision, a senior DSE official said that there was an obligation of securities rules that a company would be given listing approval within 30 days of IPO subscription closure.
He also said that the ICAB would not provide any verdict against the company rather it would look into the auditor's report and can take action against the auditor.
But, a DSE source said that the bourse had an option not to list the company and request the BSEC to scrap the IPO and order return of the investors' money as listing of any dubious company would hurt investors at the bourse.
He said that an investigation report must be analysed and reviewed before making any decision.
The media earlier exposed a number of anomalies in the financial statements of Coppertech which went unnoticed to the regulators.
The BSEC approved initial public offerings of Coppertech without assessing the company's statement thoroughly which was criticised by the market experts and investors.
If the DSE approved listing of the company, the investors may lose trust over the bourse and its efforts to find out anomalies in the IPO process, market experts said.

If there's one thing that annoys me about modern smartphones, it's their abysmal battery life. Remember those old Nokia bricks that had batteries that lasted for days on end? Now you're lucky if your phone's battery lasts past dinnertime with anything more than moderate usage. Fortunately, there are ways to get around these modern inconveniences, and a 20100mAh portable charger with USB-C Power Delivery is certainly one of them.
Anker is one of a few companies that makes reliable portable chargers (fair disclaimer: I own an Anker PowerCore and really like mine), and right now, their PowerCore Speed 20000 PD model has dropped its price to $79.99 ($20 off) on Amazon, no coupon required.
There are a few points in favor of this model in particular. For starters, it can charge and deliver power though USB-C, which should be a given for all portable chargers in 2018. On top of that, it also supports USB Power Delivery, which not only means that it can recharge much faster (it includes a 30W wall charger, and can handle [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] max input), but you can also use your MacBook's charger to power it up (power banks without USB-PD will not recharge reliably on wall chargers with USB-PD). Then there's also the fact that it's rated at 24W output (that's [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] with PD output and [email protected] with standard output), which means it can also do a decent job of charging your USB-C-powered laptop. Finally, it sits right on the upper limit of the maximum battery size that the FAA allows on flights, so if you're planning to bring your portable charger in your carry-on, you won't be able to take one that's much larger than this.
If you're in the market for a portable charger, check out the source link below to take advantage of this discount. The deal expires on January 29th, so don't take too long to make up your mind.

Copywriting for the Most of Awareness Levels
A fundamental of copywriting is to write to the awareness levels of your prospects. But all too often, the awareness level of prospects is often overlooked. … and it's perhaps the most important aspect of writing a promotion.
A few weeks ago, I shared a few reasons Why Direct Mail Control Packages Fatigue. And in my last blog, I wrote about Copywriting for the Least of Awareness Levels.
So today, it's about copywriting for the most aware of your prospects so you can meet them where they are with your copy and offer.
I've written about imagining a 1 to 7 scale where a 1 represents that your prospect is completely unaware of any aspect of your product or service, so indirect headlines and leads tend to work best. Conversely, a 7 means your prospect is completely aware where you would use direct headlines and leads. I've used information from a class that I teach copywriters for AWAI, along with concepts from a classic direct marketing book, Breaththrough Advertising, by Eugene M. Schwartz. If you missed my last post, read it here for descriptions of Levels 1 to 3.
Levels 5 to 7 are the most aware prospects. Level 4 is where you don't know whether prospects are aware or not. You should test both direct, and indirect headlines and leads to find out the side of the awareness scale that defines your prospect.
Level Five
Here you've crossed the place from unaware (Levels 1-3) to a gradual increase in awareness where your approach can be more direct. If you've observed in your own testing, or what a competitor is doing, that success is happening with direct headlines and leads, then enlarge on what's working.
- A problem/solution headline or lead will ease you into the awareness side of the scale. This is for prospects who realize they have a problem, and that a solution exists, but they don't know your product provides the solution.
- Be mindful that your prospect may become confused if competitors are making claims that aren't consistent with yours. When that happens, they become skeptical.
Level Six
You're getting close to that point where your prospects know it all about your product or service. Maybe they've bought your product, or a competitor's product. But there's still room to introduce something new. Think of it as an opportunity to renew, or restore, a positioning or message.
- Promise something new that hasn't been promoted previously.
- The believability of prior promises could start to become questioned, but if the desire of your market is still there, find a new way to satisfy it (but don't repeat past claims).
- Devise a new way to show how your product works.
Level Seven
This level is where your prospects are highly aware of your category of product, and perhaps your brand. They know your product and what it can do for them. They may even be tired of your promises. They're done with hearing from you and they may not even believe you anymore. So this is where you can use the most direct type of lead.
- Begin with your offer or an invitation.
- Find a new credibility element: testimonial or research.
- Elaborate on something new about your product or service.
- Better: look for a new feature to refresh your promise.
When you align your message with the worldview of your prospective customer using this awareness scale, your stand a much better opportunity to succeed.

The hottest trend in hot rods and muscle cars today is adding EFI to a classic engine. Heck, many people are even installing a complete late-model, EFI-equipped engine. It's no secret why. You can make serious power and do it more affordably than ever. What makes these conversions so affordable, is the ample supply of parts and kits from the aftermarket. Aeromotive is one company that is making the task of feeding an EFI system, much easier.
Aeromotive's Brushless Fuel Pump Series has been around for a while, and recently saw a little growth to the line up. "We've expanded on our brushless line." says Jackson Lueg of Aeromotive. "It now includes our signature body. We have those in everything from a brushless A1000 all the way up to a brushless, 5-gallon-a-minute spur-gear pump."
Aeromotive's brushless motors employ sensors to monitor rotor angle to provide faster and more reliable phase shifting. This helps the pump have more torque capacity and motor efficiency. In a brushless motor, instead of the armature rotating, the magnets rotate around the armature, and the motor controller manages the phase shift to keep the motor rotating under load (load is related to pressure in a fuel pump). With more torque per watt and a higher torque-to-weight ratio, brushless motors develop less noise and deliver a high level of reliability.
Aeromotive's brushless fuel pumps provide precise control of fuel pump RPM as pressure rises, better maintaining pump RPM and flow. Tight tolerances result in less current draw, less heat, and extended pump life.
Another innovation from Aeromotive is its Apex Phantom, which uses a jet-siphon system, that Aeromotive has developed and is in the process of patenting. The Apex Phantom comes with 4-feet of gasoline and ethanol-rated suction line, and features a pickup that maintains 1/8-inch of clearance from the tank bottom. The pickup line can be secured to the intended pickup point within the tank via a two-magnet system that is compatible with any tank construction material, including poly-plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel.
The new Apex Phantom is available in two pump configurations: a Phantom 340 (P/N 18704) or a Phantom Flex (P/N 18705). The jet-siphon is also sold separately for use with any existing Phantom pumps (P/N 18706).
With innovations like this, it is no wonder Aeromotive walked away with the 2018 SEMA Show Manufacturer of the Year Award. Check out these and other great Aeromotive products on the company's website.

The Times of India has an article about Dr. de Bono's book H+, a meditation on happiness, help, health, hope, and humor. Nominally a quasi-religious treatise, it sounds like the sort of easily digestible pop psychology that Alain de Botton has popularized.
But who knows? Dr. de Bono is certainly one of the world's leading thinkers, and scholars have grappled for millenia with commingled questions of religion and philosophy. Perhaps someday the name "Edward of Bono" will be uttered in the same breath as Augustine of Hippo, William of Ockham, Maimonides, and Thomas Aquinas.

The Hong Kong government might want to consider diversifying its economy by using part of the savings earmarked for rainy days. Beyond cushioning the negative impact of Covid-19 on SMEs and households, it is one more reason to spend.
This opinion piece has previously been published in Project Syndicate. PARIS – There is a growing possibility that the COVID-19 crisis will mark the end of the growth model born four decades ago with the Reagan-Thatcher revolution, China's embrace of capitalism, and the demise of the Soviet Union. The pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability of […]
Half the households surveyed by Eurostat see themselves as unable to find the resources they would need to cope with an unexpected expense within a month, estimated by experts at €375 in the case of Greece.
Blog Post
The European Commission's original allocation mechanism really favoured lower-income countries and to a large extent was based on pre-COVID economic data. The modification adopted by the European Council gives more consideration to the country size and the adverse economic impact of COVID-19. As a consequence, by using the Commission's May 2020 economic forecasts, I estimate that only Germany and France will get more grants from the EU's recovery fund compared to the Commission's original proposal, while other countries will get less.
Blog Post
Loan guarantees have been a major part of the COVID-19 support packages offered by European governments to companies. The actual take-up numbers so far follow very different patterns from the headline announcements, and might allay early concerns about single market distortions caused by the different sizes of packages in different countries.
Policy Brief
In the wake of COVID-19, some economic recovery policies will help green the economy – for example, energy renovation of buildings. But there are limits to the share of stimulus that can be explicitly green. The European Union should therefore also green the fiscal consolidation by setting out the path to much higher carbon prices than today. This would guide investment and provide revenues to help the fiscal consolidation.
Past Event
How do we make the EU fit for future?
Emerging economies are fighting COVID-19 and the economic sudden stop imposed by the containment and lockdown policies, in the same way as advanced economies. However, emerging markets also face large and rapid capital outflows as a result of the pandemic. This column argues that credible emerging market central banks could rely on purchases of local currency government bonds to support the needed health and welfare expenditures and fiscal stimulus. In countries with flexible exchange rate regimes and well-anchored inflation expectations, such quantitative easing would help ease financial conditions, while minimising the risks of large depreciations and spiralling inflation.
Blog Post
In its proposed Recovery Fund, the European Commission uses allocation criteria mainly linked to infection rates and past economic performance. To foster an efficient economic rebound post COVID-19 crisis, we propose instead to allocate funds through a forward-looking approach based on specific industrial and economic structure of EU regions.
Policy Contribution
The concept of household financial fragility emerged in the United States after the 2007-2008 financial crisis. It grew out of the need to understand whether households' lack of capacity to face shocks could itself become a source of financial instability.

Worshiping in ones native tongue is not to be taken for granted. We have not been to an English speaking church serivce in over a year. Today I had the priviledge of attending Rome Baptist Church.
It was a wonderful multi-cultural congregation. I saw all the racial colors of the rainbow around me! It was quite a poignant moment after the children's sermon... as the children were leaving we sang Jesus Loves the Little Children. The young ones truly represented the "red and yellow, black and white" from the song.
Pastor Dave and his wife Kathy are very personable and seem truly happy to see all the visitors. Afterwards I gave my visitor's card to Pastor Dave. I had written my address in Russian. He looked at it and cracked up laughing. He said "I guess if I want to write to you I will have to write your address this way, won't I?" He shook my hand and said "Pocka!" (bye!)as I was leaving.
If you ever get to Rome I hope you are able to attend Rome Baptist Church. The English speaking community of Rome will open up for you!

David had his 6 monthly appointment at the pain clinic. Consultant wanted to see how much he has deteriorated since his last review. Made him bend forwards, backward, sideways and wave his arms as high as he could. Most proved difficult. all proved extremely painful resulting in his leg giving way. Down he went....very distressed. Even she was shocked.
CT scan from 2 months ago showed bad news.
His myelin sheath is disintegrating rapidly and spread from L5s1 right up to L3.. That explained so much of what he has been going through.
So...outcome is referral to neurologist for what? Not sure.. Plus she will give 3 injections to one side of his spine. That should help his coccyx
Result of all this has been one massive flair up. So very very hard foor him but as usual...lots of TLC and hugs from the Collies. And me
