Fig. 1. 'In glass thy story.'
This two-day symposium, to be held at Robinson College, Cambridge (which houses in its chapel John Piper's Light of the World window), will explore the shifts in methods, style and iconography found in glass art created for churches and cathedrals over the course of the last 70 years. Referencing both European models and influences, and also British exemplars, it will seek to understand better the challenges and opportunities presented by the exceptional medium of glass, as well as draw out what glass means theologically as an integral part of a place of worship, a vehicle of light, and a boundary between within and without.
Speakers include: Frances Spalding, Jasmine Allen, Caroline Swash, Jonathan Koestle-Cate, Deborah Lewer and Fanny Drugeon. Visit the ACE website for a full programme and booking details.
Friday, 23rd June 2017, 6.15pm for 6.45pm start.
Fig. 1. A window by Ardyn Halter.
Ardyn Halter was born in London in 1956. He is known as a painter, print maker, and designer and maker of stained glass. He has worked on large-scale projects in England, Israel and Rwanda. His lecture will track his work and reflect on a range of questions prompted by it such as: Are painting and stained glass necessarily separate aesthetic activities, do they involve different mind-sets, and what it the correlation between the two techniques? Are there constraints associated with stained glass work that do not apply in painting or printmaking? Ardyn will address how the different disciplines interrelate and nourish each other, and how his stained-glass work has influenced his painting and printmaking; and will examine whether one sees and relates to translucent colour differently to the way one views and uses colour on paper or on canvas. His principle stained-glass windows have been commissioned works, and Ardyn will question to what extent has the very fact of their being commissioned affected their design.
The lecture will take place at The Art Workers Guild, 6 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AT. It is open to members and non-members of the Society, and admission is by ticket only. For more information and to book tickets, see the BSMGP website.

Saturday, 20th May 2017, 7.00pm, South Transept, Ely Cathedral.
Stained glass has been prized as a unique and colourful art form since the Middle Ages. This lecture will ask what science, as opposed to the skills of the art historian, can tell us about the making of stained glass windows. It will discuss the ingredients used in glass manufacture, and the techniques of forming, colouring and decorating stained glass.
David Dungworth is a heritage scientist with Historic England. He obtained his PhD from Durham University on the use of bronze and brass during the Iron Age and Roman periods in northern Britain through chemical analysis (XRF). After working for the University of Sheffield, David began work with English Heritage in 1999. He co-directed the excavation of the 17th-century glass production site at Silkstone, South Yorkshire and has carried out the scientific investigation of glass from Silkstone and many other sites in England. David has carried out the scientific examination of hundreds of fragments of historic window glass, including stained glass from Hampshire, Yorkshire and Warwickshire.
This lecture has been organised by The Stained Glass Museum for Ely Cathedral Science Festival, running from 18th May – 18th June 2017.
Tickets cost £7.50 for adults, and £4 for students and children under 16. For further information and tickets, visit the Stained Glass Museum website or call 01353 660347.
Friday, 26th May 2017, 9.45am – 4pm.
Stained glass once played a significant role in architect designed houses. Stained glass was used in the Victorian and Edwardian periods, for example, both as a way of bringing privacy to the entrance of a home and also to bring tone and coloured light to a house's interior. Victorian glazing firms took this aspect of their business seriously, producing brochures with suggestions for personalized heraldic work as well as a range of popular subjects such as 'Flowers in a vase' or 'Birds on a branch'. A later burst of enthusiasm occurred in the 1920s for staircase windows to bring individuality to a home set with a complex of buildings of a similar style. Commissions for glazing in the home today are typically far more individualized, combining considerable personal input from engaged and enthusiastic clients. With contributions from Associate members of the Society as well as specialists working in this field, it is hoped that the whole area of 'Stained Glass for House and Home' can be approached with renewed enthusiasm.
The lecture will take place at The Glaziers Hall, 9 Montague Close, London SE1 9DD. It is open to members and non-members of the Society, and admission is by ticket only. For more information and to book tickets, see the BSMGP website.

When you wake up every morning, mentally set your intentions for the day through prayer.
Raising your consciousness simultaneously raises your vibration giving you a deeper awareness. This impeccable mindfulness helps in identifying the subtle cues coming in from the Divine that go unnoticed within and around you.
Those cues are important because that communication is what is guiding you towards your purposes that need to be fulfilled in your lifetime.
It is what prompts you to take notice of when a shift in thinking and feeling processes on your part is necessary.
I took this beach photo with this post in Manhattan Beach, California.
Be a blessing to someone today. When you wake up every morning, mentally set your intentions for the day through prayer, and include who you can be a blessing to. Brighten someone's day by something complimentary. If you listen to all of the negative things you and others say daily to each other, on social media, in your head, then be grateful that God, the Universe, Spirit, and Heaven show you mercy. When you notice that you're in a perpetual negative state, then adjust that energy by being of service and a blessing to others. This can be done through the act of generosity of your time, energy, and complimentary words. It doesn't cost any money to be a blessing to other people.

(Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait) are evolving and the procurement profession is doing so with them. Professionals in the region report that procurement is no longer an add-on discipline, supplier relationship management is now recognised as key, even in firms that just a few years ago didn't have purchasing departments. Purchasers at Yas Marina Circuit work very much on the frontline during Formula 1. Muna Abdulla Bin Zouba'a says she's involved with everything from ticketing to the "pits and paddock" during this time. One of the key shifts surrounds work to reduce reliance on oil and gas. The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation is one organisation working on alternatives. It was created in 2009 to develop a programme to meet the country's increasing energy requirements and you can read about procurement's part in the process here. The GCC states also want to move away from a dependence on expatriates filling so many roles, but for the time being there are plenty of opportunities. As we explain, you might earn up to three times your current salary, but you will need to endure searing heat for four months of the year and get to grips with a different culture. The approach to doing business is also different, as we explore here with a look at negotiations. And to support procurement in its increasingly important role, CIPS' full-service institute for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) will open in November.

Vin Diesel walks Paul Walker's daughter Meadow down the aisle
American actor (1973-2013)
American actor, producer, director, screenwriter and stuntman
Vin Diesel played a big part in Meadow Walker's wedding.
Meadow, the daughter of late actor Paul Walker, tied the knot with boyfriend Louis Thornton-Allan at a private beachfront ceremony in the Dominican Republic earlier this month.
Sharing photos from her big day on Instagram on Friday, she revealed that her father's Fast and the Furious co-star and best friend Diesel - who is also her godfather - walked her down the aisle.
Other co-stars of her late father were also in attendance, including Jordana Brewster, who plays Walker's onscreen wife in the film franchise. She can be seen hugging the 22-year-old before she walks down the aisle.
"We couldn't have imagined it to be any more perfect and personal," Meadow said of the ceremony in an interview with Vogue. "And honestly it was easy and simple. Louis and I knew exactly what we wanted from the start. It was a very intimate celebration."
"We were all barefoot, dancing in the sand," she continued. "To finish the night, there was a wonderful display of fireworks, and we lit lanterns into the picturesque night sky."
The couple's wedding comes two months after they announced their engagement.
Walker was killed in a high-speed single-vehicle collision in 2013 at the age of 40. Meadow was 15 at the time of the accident.

V8 juice is not bad - but I think that you will find this combo to taste better and deliver a very similar vitamin packed punch.
The tomato and apples are from the bruised fruit rack at the market - only a few minor blemishes. The strawberries give a wonderfully sweet aftertaste. Try to keep fruits to 20-30% of the content, too much higher and you may be on a fruit sugar buzz then crash.
When juicing tomato, always go for the ripe to over-ripe ones, they are a bit sweeter. Wash the celery really well. Lots of critters and dirt like to loiter inside the stalks. I don't juice the celery leaves, but I suppose you can if you wish.


THE WANTED are on the verge of becoming megastars in the States – despite refusing to become squeaky-clean boy banders.
Tom, Siva, Max, Nathan and Jay spent a day with the Razz when they arrived on tour in Glasgow, before heading to Aberdeen last night.
But the boys, who will play T in the Park in July, told how they refused to clean up their act when US promoters tried to stop them having fun.
Speaking exclusively to the Razz on the band's tour bus, Jay insisted global fame won't change the boys – they will do things their way.
He said: "The first gig we were playing in the States, we were told by the record company that we were not allowed to drink alcohol, consume caffeine or eat cheese or dairy.
"So we ordered a crate of beer, five four-cheese pizzas and lots of cups of coffee in our dressing room.
Despite refusing to stick to the rules, the boys soon won the US music men over – along with the rest of the country.
Max added: "In the end, they got our humour.
Their visit to the US saw an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show and they are now at No23, and rising, on the Billboard charts with Glad You Came, which was covered on TV show Glee.
Tom, Siva, Nathan and Jay arrived in Glasgow on Sunday night while Max joined them on Monday morning after a night with his girlfriend Michelle Keegan.
While in town, the boys were toldGlad You Came had gone to No2 on the US iTunes chart.
Nathan said: "A few of us went to the Labrinth gig in Glasgow and, as we were waiting for him to appear, we got a call.
Once the UK tour is over, The Wanted will return to the US to appear on Jay Leno's talk show and an MTV gig in Las Vegas.
They may even catch up with new friend David Beckham, who came backstage at a gig with sons Brooklyn and Romeo.
Tom added: "I was speaking to Brooklyn and taught him to play a bit of Oasis on the guitar. He now knows Wonderwall after I taught him the chords.
GLAD You Came has achieved gold status in the US and is No1 in Canada … but the band are even more chuffed it was played at the Oscars.
Nathan said: "We were told it was used as entrance music for one of the awards at the Oscars. That is a pretty cool thing to happen.
The band were also told on Monday that they would be performing at MTV's Spring Break extravaganza in Las Vegas.
Jay, who has visited Sin City once before with his bandmates, said: "It'll be like The Hangover Part 4.
THE Wanted boys love poking fun at boss Jayne Collins, who put the band together.
Jayne is a former Baywatchbabe and the boys couldn't resist showing the Razz footage of her in the hit US TV show.
Jayne, who also formedThe Saturdays, was also a recording artist and released No Turning Back in 1995, which appeared on Baywatch.
Blushing Jayne said: "No, you won't." Secretly we think she liked the idea.
WANTED singer Jay admits he loves chatting to admirers of all ages – including female fans more than twice his age.
He said: "A lot of fans check in to the same hotel as us and join us when we're at the bar. And we meet quite a lot of cougars.
"I love our Scots fans,The Needed, too and wear a bracelet they gave me.
THE boys enjoyed a Tunnock's Teacake-tossing competition after they were presented with some of their favourite treats from Scotland.
Charity worker Les Hoey brought the snacks for them as they met a crowd of sick children during the soundcheck.

Narratives of trauma and resilience from Street Soccer players
Meredith A. Whitley*, Jordan A. Donnelly, Daryl T. Cowan, Sara McLaughlin
School of Health and Life Sciences
Trauma exposure is a global public health concern, with lifelong psychological, social, behavioural, and physical health detriments. There is a growing need for trauma-informed interventions, with Sport for Development (SfD) programmes identified as one set of promising interventions. This narrative inquiry explores the lives of soccer players taking part in two SfD programmes (e.g., Street Soccer Scotland, Street Soccer USA) that serve populations with high rates of trauma exposure (e.g., homeless, immigrant, refugee). Through interviews with players and significant others, it became clear that the Street Soccer programmes were using the popularity and appeal of the sport to achieve broader goals. Beyond this, they have embraced the core tenets of trauma-informed programming, cultivating growth and resilience amidst an ecological framework with interrelated systems.

15 Best Ballpark Foods to Celebrate MLB Opening Day
What's better than enjoying great food while watching the ballgame? For many, not much. But bonus credit card rewards don't hurt. Find out how they all connect.
Last updated Jan. 25, 2023 | By Ben Walker, CEPF
MLB opening day is upon us, which means it's time to get strapped in for another exciting season of non-stop baseball games nationwide. But as thrilling as it is to see a grand slam or a phenomenal catch, what would a ballgame be without the amazing ballpark foods?
Probably not nearly as fun.
Whether you're planning your dream baseball trip to a famous park, staying local, or watching from your couch — use these best ballpark foods as inspiration for what to eat while watching the game. And don't forget to keep your finances in mind. Your tax return could help pay for a dream trip to an iconic ballpark, and using the right credit cards could help lower your overall expenses.
Atlanta Braves - Truist Park - Chicken and waffle boat
Chicken and waffles are a Southern specialty, so it's no surprise to find this dish in Atlanta, Georgia. Blending savory fried chicken and sweet, syrupy waffles doesn't seem like it would make sense at first, but the combination works — and it works well.
So well in fact that Truist Park concessions like serving it up in the form of a boat. You get a nice "boat" of powdered waffle that contains boneless fried chicken pieces tossed in a hot mango habanero sauce. It also gets topped with chopped pecans and honey, because why not? Enjoy it with a side of curly fries and be prepared for endless cravings for the rest of your life.
Boston Red Sox - Fenway Park - Fenway frank
You might think the Fenway frank is just a normal hot dog, but its place in Boston folklore has raised it to legendary status and beyond. It's believed to have been sold at Fenway since the park opened in 1912, and it's currently available at grocery stores under the Kayem Foods brand.
This classic dog is boiled and gently grilled to give you both flavor and texture. It's then served in a split-top hot dog roll and the condiments are up to you. There's no wrong way to dress your frank, so go to town with the relish and mustard if that's how you like it.
Chicago White Sox - Guaranteed Rate Field - Smothered fries
You're sure to find a Chicago dog at Guaranteed Rate Field, and you should, but don't miss out on the smothered fries either. French fries alone are often sufficient enough to pass themselves off as a meal. But once you start topping them with other delicious ingredients, there's no need to grab dinner after the game.
Choose from Buffalo chicken fries, chili cheese fries, parmesan fries, Greek fries, Irish fries, and even a sweet potato fries dish covered in Nutella, chocolate, nuts, and whipped cream. Besides finishing a plate of these, the hardest part might be choosing which one to get.
Cincinnati Reds - Great American Ballpark - Candy cloud waffle cone
If there's a time and a place to indulge your sweet tooth, it's likely at a ballpark enjoying a ballgame. Especially if you happen to be at the Great American Ballpark, where one of their dessert offerings is straight out of a child's wildest dreams.
Meet the candy cloud waffle cone, a creation of waffle cone, cotton candy, soft-serve ice cream, and sprinkles all mixed together. The name is magical and it's sure to be a refreshing treat on a sunny day.
Houston Astros - Minute Maid Park - BBQ funnel cake
The Braves may have their chicken and waffles boat, but the Astros have a BBQ funnel cake. It follows a similar idea of blending sweet and savory, but here you get a deep-fried funnel cake topped with loads of Texas barbecued meats. These include pulled pork, chopped beef, and smoked sausage plus a citrus kale black-bean slaw and plenty of mustard barbecue sauce.
Los Angeles Dodgers - Dodger Stadium - Esquite
Oh, Mexican street vendors, we thank you for your excellent additions to the culinary world, including esquite. You may already be familiar with elote, which is grilled corn on the cob, typically covered in creamy mayo, cheese sauce, and chili powder. Esquites are basically the same thing, but served in a cup (or mini Dodgers helmet!) instead of on the cob. Expect to get your grilled corn covered in mayo, cotija cheese, lime juice, and Tajin seasoning.
Milwaukee Brewers - American Family Field - Bratchos
If you're going to make classic concession foods your own, then you better go all the way, like in the case of the bratchos at American Family Field. It sounds like nachos, and it may even resemble nachos, but there's actually a lot that's different about this Wisconsin-inspired dish.
Bratwurst, a Wisconsin staple, finds its way onto a heaping pile of kettle chips along with multiple other types of sausage, sauerkraut, pico de gallo, jalapeños, sour cream, and loads of nacho cheese. For a team named after beermakers, this sounds like the ideal pub food to soak up some alcohol.
New York Yankees - Yankee Stadium - Lobel's steak sandwich
If you're visiting The Big Apple and catching a Yankees game, don't miss out on the Lobel's stand in section 134. The steak sandwich is their hallmark, and it features prime USDA sliced beef smothered in homemade gravy and served on a fresh brioche bun. And although Lobel's sells different cuts of meat online, Yankee Stadium is the only location that makes and sells its steak sandwich and other types of sandwiches.
Philadelphia Phillies - Citizens Bank Park - Cheesesteak
What's included in a classic Philly cheesesteak will depend on whom you talk to, but it's typically some variation of sliced beef and cheese on a hoagie roll. The beef is often sliced thin, like at a deli, and Cheez Whiz cheese is commonly used. Other additions, including peppers and onions, are optional, but frequently recommended. Citizens Bank Park has multiple cheesesteak vendors, so don't fret if you need your gooey meat and cheese fix but there's a long line at one vendor.
Pittsburgh Pirates - PNC Park - Manny's BBQ
How often can you get tasty barbecued meat dishes served to you by a former MLB player? And not just any MLB player, but 3x All-Star and 2x World Series champion Manny Sanguillén, a former catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Manny is often around his barbecue stand during games, serving up dishes like pulled pork sandwiches and burgers. Sometimes you might be able to order a special treat, like the pulled pork pierogi stacker. It's a big pulled pork sandwich, with the edition of a few pierogies inside to really enhance the culinary experience.
San Diego Padres - Petco Park - Tri-tip nachos
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California is located north of San Diego and is home to Seaside Market, a gourmet grocery store that sells a popular form of tri-tip. In fact, the tri-tip is so popular that it earned the nickname of "Cardiff Crack," mainly because it's so good you might get addicted.
You can order the tri-tip whenever you want from Seaside Market, but getting it freshly prepared on top of a plate of nachos only happens at Petco Park. The plate combines tortilla chips, barbecue sauce, sour cream, cheese sauce, and of course, the signature mound of tri-tip for a unique culinary experience you won't soon forget.
San Francisco Giants - Oracle Park - Cha cha bowl
Caribbean barbecue might seem out of place in Oracle Park because it's not the type of food you would associate with San Francisco. But good food doesn't have to be local to be enjoyed. And the cha cha bowls from Orlando's Caribbean BBQ have won over the hearts and taste buds of many a Giants game attendee. The famous cha cha bowl consists of grilled chicken or pork carnitas over rice and beans and topped with a pineapple-zucchini salsa.
Seattle Mariners - T-Mobile Park - Toasted grasshoppers
I believe the traditional song goes, "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack," not, "Buy me some peanuts and grasshoppers." But if you're at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, you might be tempted to start singing about these jumping insects.
Toasted grasshoppers, or chapulines, have been offered at the Mariners' stadium since 2017, and they're a huge hit. They're sourced from the Oaxacan region of Mexico by the Poquitos restaurant in Seattle and served in a chili-lime salt seasoning. It might sound strange to eat insects at a ballgame, but their popularity can't be attributed to curiosity alone.
Tampa Bay Rays - Tropicana Field - Cuban sandwich
There's something immensely satisfying about eating a dish in an area where it originated. It just feels right. This is why having a Cuban sandwich at Tropicana Field in South Florida makes sense. South Florida is known for its diverse culture, including a heavy Cuban influence. And it doesn't hurt that Cuban sandwiches are delicious. Roast pork, ham, salami, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on ciabatta bread sounds like the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon ballgame.
Texas Rangers - Globe Life Field - Brisket egg rolls
Brisket egg rolls. Let that sink in for a moment. It's the combination we never would have thought of but always wanted. Deep-fried goodness paired with classic Texan brisket is just what the doctor ordered. Just not any doctor you've ever heard of.
This ballpark food at Globe Life Field beat out multiple other options in an online fan poll, including a steak-and-cheese stuffed poblano pepper and a deep-fried ball filled with brisket, cheese, and jalapeños. However, all three options sound delicious.
Staying home? Order in instead
If you won't be venturing out for opening day but you want your favorite ballpark-inspired food, use a food delivery service to support a local restaurant and satisfy your cravings. Whether you're at home or at the ballpark, some of the best travel credit cards can help you earn bonus rewards on food purchases, as well as offer other helpful rewards and benefits.
Here are a few credit card options to choose from for your dining purchases:
Chase Freedom Flex℠
The Chase Freedom Flex℠ has a $0 annual fee and earns 3% cash back on purchases at restaurants (including takeout and eligible delivery) and drugstores. Additional benefits include three complimentary months of DashPass from DoorDash and 50% off your subscription for another nine months.

Welcome to Your Dentist in Spring!
Hello from Dr. C. Gary Simmons and his team! Welcome to our blog! You typed "dentist near me" into the search engine, and here we are! We have been in Spring for years and decided that a blog would help further our mission to bring people the essential dental care they need. You might be asking yourself, "Why would I read a dental blog?" The easy answer comes in the form of another question, "Do you have teeth and would you like to know how to keep them healthy and beautiful?" If yes, this blog will be the best source of information for you. While you can always scour the internet and get a general idea of what dentistry has to offer, this blog will enable you to know exactly what your options are locally. First, let's meet your long-serving dentist in Spring.
Dr. Simmons has been serving the Spring/Klein area for over 30 years. He attended Texas A&M and received his doctoral degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry. He currently maintains memberships in professional organizations such as the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and more. He brings his decades of experience to every consultation, exam, and treatment he performs every day.
Comprehensive Services: When you decide to visit Dr. Simmons, we want you to know that we can take care of your teeth in every way possible. Whether you come in for a check-up and cleaning, need to have a tooth restored, or simply want your smile to look its best, we have every solution you and your family could possibly need now or in the future. Something as simple as a check-up and cleaning twice a year can stop most dental issues before they even start. Your confidence and appearance could be instantly improved with a crown or teeth-whitening. It all depends on your wants and needs.
Dental Implants: Do you have gaps in your smile you wish you could fill? Or perhaps you'd like a set of dentures you can truly rely on. In either case, dental implants are the most comprehensive and reliable way to restore your missing teeth. A small titanium post will provide your new tooth a root, which will be topped with a porcelain crown. The result is a strong, natural looking tooth that seamlessly blends in with your smile. Implants can also be used to support a set of dentures that have a better, more consistent fit than traditional dentures, all the while providing more bite force.
Convenient Hours: People are busier than ever these days, and usually the first thing to get cast aside is dental care. This is why we offer a wide range of hours that can accommodate even the busiest working parent. We work hard to make getting dental care easy.
If you would like to know more about what we can do for you and your family's smiles, please call us today. We're always available to answer any of your questions.
Be sure to check back with this blog regularly for new tips and information on how to keep your teeth strong and beautiful for years to come.

Atari-Themed Hotel Coming to Colorado
Growing up most people spent time playing video games although they have certainly changed over the years. Years ago there was no option of playing video games on the go, you had to be in front of the television with a controller in your hand. Well now with esports gaining popularity it looks like Colorado and seven other cities will be getting video game themed hotels.
One of the original video gaming devices Atari is hoping to gain popularity again by leaning into the hospitality industry, according to Engadget. Atari has now signed a deal with a real estate developer for its name and brand to be all over these hotels that will be popping up in Denver, Phoenix, Austin, Chicago, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, and of course Las Vegas.
Each of these hotels will feature an esports studio, no one is exactly sure what these studios will include but gamers across the country are loving this idea. Each hotel will also feature an "Atari gaming playground" which will be more like a lounge area and probably feature more of the classic titles that everyone knows and loves.
These hotels are also expected to feature normal amenities such as a pool and gym and go above and beyond by featuring restaurants, bars, bakeries, and even movie theaters.
This might be a great way to have parents and kids interacting with video games both old and new. While I was never a huge Atari guy, if there was ever a Mario Cart hotel I would be more than interested in staying there. Hopefully, it would include go-carts used to get around the hotel. This is all wishful thinking.

Luise Erhard (* 18. April 1893 in Langenzenn; † 9. Juli 1975; geborene Luise Lotter, verwitwete Luise Schuster) war eine deutsche Volkswirtin und die erste Kanzlergattin nach 1949.

Leben

Frühes Leben
Luise Lotter wuchs mit ihrem Bruder zunächst in der mittelfränkischen Stadt Langenzenn auf, in der ihr Vater eine Ziegelei betrieb. Später wohnte die Familie im nahegelegenen Fürth. Lotter heiratete in erster Ehe den Juristen Friedrich Schuster, der als Soldat im Oktober 1914 im Ersten Weltkrieg fiel.
Aus der Ehe stammt die Tochter Leonore.

Die verwitwete Schuster studierte an der Handelshochschule Nürnberg, wo sie den aus Fürth stammenden Ludwig Erhard wiedertraf, den sie als Nachbarskind und Bruder ihrer ehemaligen Spielkameradin Rose aus ihren Kindheitstagen kannte. Im Dezember 1923 heiratete sie Ludwig Erhard. Amtlicher "Ehewohnsitz" war Luise Erhards Heimatort Langenzenn, wo ihre Mutter und ihr Bruder – der inzwischen die väterliche Ziegelei übernommen hatte – lebten. Die Eheleute, die beide ihr Studium in Nürnberg abgeschlossen hatten, wollten dann gemeinsam an der Universität in Frankfurt am Main weiterstudieren und promovieren, während die in die Ehe eingebrachte Tochter "Lore" von der Großmutter in Langenzenn betreut wurde. Luise Erhard gab jedoch nach wenigen Monaten auf und kehrte zu ihrer Tochter zurück, während ihr Mann 1925 seine Promotion absolvierte. Aus der Ehe ging die Tochter Elisabeth (1925–1996) hervor.

Hausfrau und Mutter, Ratgeberin und Kanzlergattin
Fortan verzichtete Luise Erhard auf eine eigene Karriere und begleitete die berufliche und spätere politische Laufbahn ihres Mannes als Hausfrau und Mutter, aber auch als sachverständige und "scharfsinn[ige]" Ratgeberin. Ludwig Erhard übernahm 1925 den elterlichen Textilwarenbetrieb in Fürth, der infolge der Weltwirtschaftskrise 1928 pleiteging. Von da an war er bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs 1945 in verschiedenen Positionen im wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Bereich tätig; nach dem Krieg wurde er 1947 Honorarprofessor an der Universität München und 1950 zusätzlich an der Universität Bonn.

Als zunächst parteiloser Wirtschaftsfachmann und de facto späteres CDU-Mitglied gelangte Ludwig Erhard in der Nachkriegszeit rasch in hohe politische Ämter; er war unter anderem von 1949 bis 1963 Bundesminister für Wirtschaft, von 1963 bis 1966 zweiter Bundeskanzler der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und 1966/67 CDU-Bundesvorsitzender. Luise Erhards Mann war einer der beliebtesten Politiker der 1950er-Jahre und galt als "Vater" der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft und des Wirtschaftswunders nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Luise und Ludwig Erhard ließen sich Mitte der 1950er-Jahre in Gmund am Tegernsee von ihrem dortigen Nachbarn, dem Architekten Sep Ruf, einen Bungalow erbauen und richteten dort ihren dauerhaften Familienwohnsitz ein. Ruf, der durch seinen eigenen Stil mit minimierten Konstruktionen, transparenten Wänden und schlanken Dächern bekannt geworden war, wurde Anfang 1963 von Ludwig Erhard – noch in seiner Funktion als Wirtschaftsminister – mit dem Bau des Kanzlerbungalows in Bonn beauftragt. Luise Erhard, die ihren Mann zur Beauftragung von Ruf ermuntert hatte, nahm auch Einfluss auf Lage, Gestaltung und Inneneinrichtung des neuen Kanzlerwohnsitzes. Von 1963 bis 1964 entstand im Park des damaligen Bundeskanzleramts, des Palais Schaumburg, ein repräsentatives und modernes Gebäude in der Tradition der klassischen Moderne, das inzwischen als herausragendes Beispiel westdeutscher Nachkriegsarchitektur gilt und seit 2001 unter Denkmalschutz steht. Ende 1964 bezogen die Erhards als erste Bewohner das neue Wohn- und Empfangsgebäude des deutschen Bundeskanzlers.

Luise Erhard "war eine starke Frau und hatte großen Einfluss auf ihren Mann"; sie galt als dessen engste Vertraute, die dabei stets "größte […] Diskretion wahrte". Gleichwohl sah sie – "passend zum Frauenbild in der Zeit vor dem Aufbruch der späten 60er Jahre – ihre Hauptaufgabe neben ihren Repräsentationspflichten im Zuhören". So wurde sie dann auch von Zeitgenossen als "perfekte Hausfrau, mütterlich, charmant, selbstsicher und praktisch" charakterisiert. Als ihr Mann 1963 Bundeskanzler wurde und die Erhards (zunächst) das Palais Schaumburg bezogen, bezeichnete eine Zeitung die Kanzlergattin als "deutsches Hausmütterchen", woraufhin Luise Erhard verärgert verkündete: "Hausmütterchen war ich in meinem ganzen Leben nicht, und das will ich auch wirklich nicht sein".

Vom 16. Oktober 1963 bis zum 1. Dezember 1966 war sie deutsche Kanzlergattin. Rückblickend wurde sie Anfang der 2000er-Jahre "von allen [bis dato] 'First Ladies' der Bundesrepublik – der Titel ist unzutreffend, denn protokollarisch rangiert die Frau des Bundeskanzlers erst an vierter Stelle" – neben Loki Schmidt als diejenige wahrgenommen, die "durch ihre intellektuelle Souveränität beeindruckt[e]".

Repräsentationsaufgaben, Ehrenämter und Mäzenatentum

Luise Erhard übernahm an der Seite ihres Mannes zunehmend Repräsentationsaufgaben und Ehrenämter. So wurde unter ihrer Schirmherrschaft im Jahr 1954 die heute noch bestehende, gemeinnützige Einrichtung Aktion Das Sichere Haus (DSH) ins Leben gerufen, deren Ziel es war und ist, über Unfallgefahren in Heim und Freizeit zu informieren und dadurch zur Senkung der hohen Unfallzahlen beizutragen. 1962 taufte sie einen Tanker der damals größten deutschen Tankschiffreederei, der Deutschen Shell Tanker GmbH in Hamburg.

Als Kanzlergattin wählte sie dann ihre repräsentative Pflichten mit Bedacht aus, so übernahm sie im Oktober 1963 und damit bereits vor der Wahl ihres Mannes zum Bundeskanzler die Schirmherrschaft über "das Kolloquium der Damen im Bonner 'Colloquium humanum', das die Begegnung zwischen Bonner Damen und Diplomaten-Gattinnen pflegt[e]", begleitete ihren Mann auf Auslandsreisen, darunter 1963 auf seine erste Amerika-Reise als Kanzler, bat gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann ausgewählte Gäste zum Frühstück in den neuen Kanzlerbungalow und lud auch eigene Gäste ein, traf sich gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann zu Gesprächen mit Schriftstellern und Künstlern, begleitete ihren Mann im Mai 1965 beim Empfang auf Schloss Augustusburg in Brühl zu Ehren der britischen Königin Elisabeth II. anlässlich deren damaligen Deutschlandbesuchs, legte im November 1966 in Barntrup den Grundstein für das Westfälische Kinderdorf Lipperland – das erste Kinderdorf in Nordrhein-Westfalen − und besuchte im Dezember 1965 die 100. Nachkriegs-Ausstellung im Haus der Städtischen Kunstsammlungen Bonn am Eröffnungstag.

Als Mäzenin förderte sie unter anderem die 1963 in Bad Godesberg gegründete "Galerie Pro" des Galeristen Johannes Wasmuth, der gespendete Kunstwerke verkaufte und die Erlöse der von ihm gegründeten Fördergemeinschaft Kinder in Not zuführte. Die von ihr begründete Stiftung Luise-Erhard-Fonds (auch Luise-Erhard-Stiftung genannt) in Fürth vergibt unter anderem Förderpreise an für ihre Leistungen ausgezeichnete Absolventen der nach ihrem Mann benannten Ludwig-Erhard-Schule Fürth, die zwischenzeitlich ein Studium aufgenommen haben.

Spätes Leben

Nach dem politischen Scheitern Ludwig Erhards als Kanzler und seinem Rücktritt am 1. Dezember 1966 zogen Ludwig und Luise Erhard Anfang 1967 vom Bonner Kanzlerbungalow in ihren Zweitwohnsitz in Gmund am Tegernsee, der ihr Altersruhesitz wurde. Luise Erhard stand damals in ihrem 74. Lebensjahr, ihr Mann kurz vor seinem 70. Geburtstag. Während ihr Mann, der bis an sein Lebensende Mitglied des Deutschen Bundestags blieb, sich ungeachtet seiner zunehmenden Bedeutungslosigkeit für das politische Geschehen an "seine verblassende Reputation und an Bonn […] klammert[e]", blieb Luise Erhard meist am Tegernsee, so dass die Eheleute sich in ihrem letzten Lebensjahrzehnt seltener als früher sahen.

Luise Erhard starb im Sommer 1975 im Alter von 82 Jahren, ihr Mann starb zwei Jahre später. Die gemeinsame Grabstätte von Luise und Ludwig Erhard befindet sich auf dem Bergfriedhof in Gmund am Tegernsee.

Treatment center near Campton Hills hopes neighbors eventually will come around
The former Glenwood School property near Campton Hills soon will be home to an addiction treatment center, despite lingering concerns raised over a failed bid to open a similar facility there last year Brian Hill | Staff Photographer, 2015

No one wanted an addiction treatment center at the former Glenwood School site just outside Campton Hills. Neighbors didn't want it. Kane County officials didn't want it. Campton Hills officials didn't want it.
But the addiction center will open as soon as this spring, and its new owners believe, over time, neighbors and local leaders will see it as a place that helps people they see in their everyday lives.
Recovery Centers of America formed on the East Coast in 2016, in response to the growing need for addiction treatment created by the opioid epidemic. It is backed by a more than $300 million investment from the Deerfield Management Co., a New York-based healthcare investment management firm.
In just a few years, Recovery Centers of America has opened facilities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maryland, and employed nearly 1,500 people. Now it wants to expand into the Midwest, with the former Glenwood School property being one of its first sites in the market.
Company officials know they won't receive a warm welcome. That's thanks to two years of emotional public hearings, heated votes and lawsuit settlements, paving the way for the Glenwood School site, by a court decree, to become a virtually unstoppable site for an addiction treatment center. The figure at the center of that turmoil, Maxxam, sold the property to Recovery Centers of America after the final bang of the judicial gavel.
Since then, Recovery Centers of America has worked with Kane County on the permitting and infrastructure work needed to get the site ready to take on as many as 120 patients. Local officials are resigned to that fate.
County board member Barb Wojnicki was one of the leading voices against an addiction treatment center at the Glenwood property. She believes the neighborhood, narrow roads and relative distance to any sort of hospital or emergency services will hinder the success of a treatment center.
She sat in on a private meeting between the county staff and Recovery Centers of America after the company purchased the property.
"We had a lot of questions for them, but at this point there's no turning back," Wojnicki said. "So we just hope for the best."
One of the other leading opponents of the Maxxam treatment facility was the Fox River & Countryside Fire/Rescue District. Officials there said they didn't have the manpower, equipment or finances to accommodate the expected volume of emergency calls. But Ken Shepro, the attorney for the fire district, said he's optimistic Recovery Centers of America will at least be a better neighbor than Maxxam would have been.
Shepro said the fire district and Recovery Centers of America are nearing an agreement that would resolve just about all of the concerns the fire district had about Maxxam. That includes, for instance, a deal for Recovery Centers of America to pay the fire district directly for emergency service calls instead of the patients or their insurers.
"Many of the causes of the distrust were about it not appearing that Maxxam knew what they were doing with this type of treatment facility," Shepro said. "This new group is a much more professional operation."
Recovery Centers of America officials said they are dedicated not only to running a professional operation, but also to becoming part of the community. To that end, they expect to hire up to 200 local people to work at the treatment center and pay a six-figure property tax bill to local governments.
Dr. Deni Carise, co-founder and chief scientific officer of Recovery Centers of America, said the facility will have a high-quality resort feel. Officials will host meetings with the community and open doors for tours and questions in the lead-up to the start of operations.
Once open, there will also be spaces, with separate entrances, for community meetings, support groups, police workshops and even chamber of commerce meetings.
"We want to be part of the community," Carise said. "We don't want to be isolated. We don't want to be impinging on it. We want to be a resource to the community."
Carise said it's important for people to realize the patients at the facility are just like everyone who lives in the area.
"These are sick people who want to get well, not bad people who need to become good," Carise said. "These are people, by and large, who are working folks. We don't contract with the jail. We are not a place in lieu of incarceration. We are a place that your neighbors, your teachers, your doctors, your postal workers will go to get quality treatments."
