Prominent among the foremost citizens of Pocahontas is John Clay Williams, who is actively identified with the financial prosperity of Bond county as a banker, and as a man of enterprise, ability and integrity is closely associated with the advancement of the material interests of town and county. A son of William Davis Williams, he was born August 8, 1859, in Saint Jacob, Madison county, Illinois, of brave pioneer stock.
His grandfather, Aaron Williams, a native of Maryland, was a youth of a daring and venturous spirit, who in his search for fortune made two trips on horseback to Illinois while it was yet wearing territorial garb, one in 1815 and one in 1816. In 1818, just as Illinois was admitted to statehood, he came from Baltimore to Fayette county, Illinois, locating in Vera, where he took up a tract of wild land, from which he improved a farm. He married Sarah Barton, of Saint Clair county, Illinois, and was thereafter engaged in tilling the soil until his death.
Born on the parental homestead in Fayette county, William Davis Williams received a practical training in agriculture while young, remaining beneath the parental roof -tree until after attaining his majority. In 1849 he joined a band of gold seekers and made an overland journey to California, where he followed mining for six years. Returning to Illinois in 1855, he settled in Saint Jacob, Madison county, where he was engaged in general farming until 1891. Coming then to Pocahontas, Illinois, he lived retired until his death, in 1899, making his home with his son. Soon after his return from the Golden state he married Ellen Virginia Hayes, of Saint Jacob, who died nearly a quarter of a century before he did, passing away in 1875. He belonged to the Baptist church, and was an active member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons, with which he united in 1855, at the time of his death being one of the oldest and most highly esteemed members of the lodge. He took great interest in local affairs, and held various offices of trust, having served as school director, while for many years he was township supervisor.
The oldest son and second child of his parents, John Clay Williams lived on the home farm in Madison county until twenty years of age, when he went to New Mexico on an exploring expedition. Finding nothing to specially interest him in that unsettled country, he returned to Saint Jacob, where he was engaged in general mercantile pursuits until 1883, being junior member of the firm of Karges & Williams. Sell: ing out his interest in the firm in that year, Mr. Williams became traveling salesman for a wholesale house, with which he was connected in that capacity for five years. In the meantime, however, in 1884, he had bought back his interest in the firm of which he had formerly been a member, and, in company with Mr. Louis Ryan, continued the business under the firm name of Ryan & Williams. Giving up traveling in 1889, Mr. Williams was actively engaged in business as a merchant at Pocahontas, Bond county, until 1905, being quite successful in his operations. In that year, in company with Mr. P. M. Johnson, of Saint Elmo, Illinois, he established the Bond County Bank, a private institution, and has since carried on a substantial business. In 1899 Mr. Williams was appointed postmaster at Pocahontas, and has held the position since.
Mr. Williams married, in 1893, Naomi Olive Lindley, of Pocahontas, a woman of culture and refinement, eminently fitted for the duties of wife and mother. She passed to the life beyond in November, 1908, leaving five children, namely: John L., Benjamin Oliver, Marie, Ellen Virginia and Joseph Aaron. Politically Mr. Williams ever supports the principles of the Republican party, and religiously, there being no church of his own faith, the Baptist, in Pocahontas he attends the Methodist Church, and is serving as one of its trustees. Fraternally he is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons; and the Order of the Eastern Star; of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows; of the Modern Woodmen of America; and of the Knights of the Maccabees.

Community mural space set up in area that was regularly 'tagged'
by Timothy Schafer on Wednesday August 14 2019
Use of the back wall of the Nelson and District Youth Centre — and the Whitewater Resort building at 602 Lake Street — have been approved for a community mural wall to provide all Nelsonites with the opportunity to experiment with, and create, mural art. — Photo: NDAC
A community mural wall has been dedicated to provide all Nelsonites with the opportunity to experiment with, and create, mural art.
Use of the back wall of the Nelson and District Youth Centre — and the Whitewater Resort building at 602 Lake Street — have been approved by city council for the project.
During its regular meeting Monday night in council chambers, it was a unanimous decision to accept the proposal from the Nelson and District Arts Council (NDAC) to turn the back wall of the city-owned building over to the community mural wall project.
The downtown core sees regular "tagging" of spaces, and the youth centre building appears to be regularly defaced, wrote NDAC executive director Sydney Black in a letter to council.
"NDAC believes that this would be alleviated through providing a wall that all community members can use to create their public art," she said.
The back wall of the youth centre would be a gigantic canvas for community members to elevate their art to a greater — and larger — stage.
"It would also allow for more cohesive, artistic work to be created as artists will not be rushing in the middle of the night trying to tag illegally," she added.
The space will be monitored by the youth centre staff, Black explained, "who would ensure that the work is appropriate (no racism, nudity, gratuitous violence, etc.)" and that the work area would remain clean.
Any inappropriate work could be covered up with cans of spray paint, provided by NDAC to the youth centre staff.
Support for the project has been given by the building owner of 602 Lake Street as well as the youth centre and Whitewater staff, and the Nelson Police Department.
Other safety measures are planned to highlight the artwork as well as improve the space.
"We are in conversations to propose increasing the lighting in the alley as well so that the public space can be used by all members of the community in a safe manner," Black said. In addition, Black noted that the arts council was proposing to have public education sessions in the schools to ensure young people were aware of the public wall and how to use the space respectfully.
Youth centre staff would be asked to address minor issues, while NDAC would remain available to address substantive maintenance issues.
Success of the international mural festival — hosted by NDAC — have proven to significantly eliminate graffiti in locations that were previously impacted by graffiti, noted a city staff report to council.
City seeks end to wildfire threat
New measures are officially on the legislative books to help move the city closer to becoming more resistant to wildfires.
Bylaw changes were passed Monday night that incorporate regulations derived from the best practices of FireSmart BC — a program that encourages residents to take the steps necessary to protect their property from wildfire through the adoption of FireSmart techniques.
In order to address the threat of ember showers, a city-wide planting restriction has been instituted to prohibit highly combustible new vegetation within 1.5 metres (five feet) of homes and structures.
"While an interface fire is a concern, the most likely scenario for Nelson will not be direct flames but an ember shower from a nearby fire," noted a city staff report to council.
Wildfire embers can travel as far as two kilometres, meaning the entirety of Nelson is at risk, not just the homes adjacent to the forested lands.
The city-wide planting restriction prohibits highly combustible coniferous evergreen trees and bushes from being located near homes and structures for new landscaping — existing landscaping may remain.
"However, highly combustible plantings, specifically junipers and cedar trees, have been a favorite planting within the city," the report noted. "The regulation cannot be applied retroactively, leaving the community somewhat vulnerable in the event of an ember shower."
Although a penalty will be added to enforce the restriction, the Nelson Fire and Rescue Services are expected to use bylaw complaints as an opportunity to educate and inform the public about more appropriate fire-resistant plantings.
The land near the outskirts of the city has been designated a "natural environment and hazardous lands" development permit area — as a wildfire interface zone — since it abuts forested lands and now carries three major requirements.
Landscaping is the first consideration, with the city now requiring two priority zones around buildings: zone 1a which is a non-combustible surface around the principal building, dwelling, structures and any attachments (decks); and zone 1b which consists of fire-resistant plants and materials, as well as required maintenance for existing trees and vegetation.
Building materials receive more consideration in the bylaw, with specific requirements relating to roofing materials and exterior wall finishes.
As well, a covenant must now be registered on title ensuring that property owners maintain their properties in accordance with the development permit requirements.
Additional information on the new regulations can be found at nelson.ca/wildfire. A map of the wildfire interface is also available at www.nelson.ca/wildfire.
FireSmart Assessment
For those who might be concerned about the potential risk their property may contain when it comes to wildfires, Nelson Fire and Rescue Services offers free FireSmart assessments and risk evaluation of the exterior of homes and property.
People can contact Nelson Fire and Rescue to arrange a FireSmart home/property assessment at (250) 352-3103.

Is the BLUE BIDET White Toilet-Mounted Bidet ( Bidet Toilet Seat Prices #6)? I understand first. Toiletries and makeup at the back of the drain. The medicine case was dirty with creams abnormal containers, and products. The wardrobe beneath the sink was stuffed in leaks with rolls of toilet paper and everything wasn't correct elsewhere.
One of the greatest BLUE BIDET White Toilet-Mounted Bidet ( Bidet Toilet Seat Prices #6) I've observed recently requires, not remodeling, but simply rethinking your bathroom layout. For those who have a space, you'll be able to enter invisible shelves that show and may store sets from your make-up with a pretty knickknacks. Of course if you intend to create your toiletries unseen, it is possible to constantly insert concealed cabinets and cupboards.
Start by thinking little, if possibly that sounds like more function than you wish to handle. How will you maximize the area you curently have? One of many tips is always to change the room. Everybody includes a wardrobe there, but points just chuck in there until the chaos is not prepared. Instead, have you been marking them and considering getting some storage boxes that are small?
Should you create everything with standard size and shape , then you can certainly additionally stack up it. Place a field comprising goods that you do not use backwards, using a field containing more commonly used objects forward for comfortable access.
For those who have time and place to perform together I firmly urge you to develop or install a bathroom from mirror. Even although you possess a bathroom counter there's, it is likely not and to be previous increase your space for storage.
The thought of a toilet storage that is good is always to place a brand new the one that features a selection of drawers and cupboards. You will be impressed at the difference - you could even discover that here is !

Ex-professor in NYC School Noose Case Sues for $200M
Associated Presscmaadmin (EDU)
A professor at Columbia University's Teachers College who was fired over plagiarism allegations is suing the graduate school for $200 million.
Madonna Constantine filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday calling her 2008 firing an "academic lynching."
Constantine was a clinical psychology professor at Teachers College, which is affiliated with Columbia University. She says her firing was fueled by "academic rivalry and political intrigue."
Teachers College says the lawsuit has no merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.
Constantine's firing came after a noose was found dangling from her office door. Police never determined who put it there.
In October, the former professor filed a lawsuit seeking to have her firing reversed.

In 1998, Chris Favors replaced a short-lived, rudimentary, single webpage created by a former member with a fully-fleshed out website, thus legitimately launching DCYC forward into the still burgeoning World Wide Web. For twelve years and after a seemingly endless amount of HTML coding, he moved the needle again in 2010 when he relaunched the site in the Wild Apricot platform, an option that allowed for multiple administrators and event management. Fast-forward to 2017 when, with the future of the club firmly in mind, James Hankins and Jeff Ellefson included in their budget proposal a few thousand dollars for "working on the website and social media." Today, we are officially unveiling the fruits of that investment.
Thanks to the efforts of David Meek, we secured the services of a well-respected website developer with great experience in the Wild Apricot platform to which we subscribe. The MergeCreative team was well positioned to take the best advantage of the hot-off-the-presses updates just released from the Wild Apricot engineers. They created a contemporary site, every page of which is optimized for mobile experience (seriously, they slaved over this part).
We are all painfully aware of how fast technology is moving, but it's with a great deal of pride that we can make the claim that today's site will serve the club for several years to come.
Efforts like this always represent a colossal team effort. When we committed to having a professional website developer rework the site, we pulled together a team to help guide the stylistic and organizational choices being made; this committee gave terrific feedback on the site and made excellent suggestions things they would like to see added, many of which we still hope to incorporate in the future. Our sincere thanks to Barbara Hoskins, Kim Dickey,Heather Fahle, Kendra Favors, Kathy Harden, and Lara Ruzevicfor sharing their time, energy, and unflagging patience.
To come full circle, none of this would be possible without the foresight and herculean efforts of Chris Favors, our beloved emeritus webmaster. As you might imagine, his stamp of approval was of paramount importance to me personally; I am beyond relieved and grateful to say that he has blessed the update to his original site. Thank you, Chris.
And with that, we are pleased to announce that the newest iteration of the DCYC website is officially unveiled and ready for you <cue massive virtual balloon and confetti drop>.
If you have any questions or feedback about the website, I am happy to help.

Rebecca Dubin, BSN, RN, shares space with the Teen Health Center. As GHS staff, she is responsible for ALL students and staff - no special registration or appointments needed.
Welcome to Garfield! I am at Garfield full time, across from the main office in 102. I look forward to working with you and your student to manage any acute or ongoing health concerns.
Students who take medications regularly at school or who need ANY medicines at school on an occasional basis must have an Authorization for Medication form on file with the school nurse. Yes, this even includes medications like Tylenol and ibuprofen as well as allergy medications and inhalers! Complete the parent/guardian section, return directly to me and I will fax it to your doctor/clinic for their authorization. If your provider is through Kaiser, you must fill out the provider's actual name and his or her fax number. This form must be renewed each school year and allows students to carry their medications or leave a supply, in their original containers, in the nurse office.
NO medications at school? NO need to fill out a medication authorization form!
If your student was caught in a disaster and stranded at school for several days would they have their needed medications? Do they ever forget their medications at home? Families are strongly encouraged to keep a 3-day disaster supply of medications (in original containers) at school with the nurse. Having a back up supply is particularly important for students with inhalers, epinephrine auto-injectors, diabetes and seizures. In addition, students with inhalers and epinephrine auto-injectors must have demonstrated correct usage to the nurse in order to self-administer.
Immunizations are important to keep all our students safe and healthy. Moreover they are required for continued attendance at school. Non-compliant students are excluded at Garfield. Immunizations are available from your provider/clinic, many pharmacies or the Teen Health Center (a wonderful on site resource). You can report them via the Washington State Certificate of Immunization Status. Contact me with questions or to update your student's immunization status.
For the most up-to-date information about vaccination requirements for school attendance in Washington (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, measles-mumps-rubella, polio, varicella, hepatitis B), you can always look at the Department of Health's website.
Meningococcal disease is a rare but potentially fatal bacterial infection that can cause meningitis – a severe swelling of the brain and spinal cord or meningococcemia, a severe blood infection. It is spread through the exchange of fluids found in the respiratory system and throat usually through close, personal contact. It is thought that close contact in crowded conditions puts teens at greater risk.
It often begins with symptoms that look like other common viral illnesses such as the flu. But it can get worse very rapidly resulting in death or permanent disability. The most common signs and symptoms are headache, fever, stiff neck, extreme tiredness, vomiting, sensitivity to light and a rash of small purplish black-red dots. Contact your provider or seek medical attention immediately if you suspect meningococcal disease.
The good news is that there is a vaccine available that prevents up to 83% of cases as it offers protection against 4 of the 5 most common strains of bacteria that cause the disease. See your provider or the Teen Health Center for immunization. While not required for school attendance it is strongly encouraged. In addition, there are new vaccine requirements that children who received a dose between 11 and 15 years of age need a second dose between the ages of 16 and 18.
These screens are not routinely done in high school but will be done when a concern is expressed or upon request.
SPS uses the SDQ questionnaire to identify students who can benefit from support, referral to care, and extra planning. When students are struggling academically it is especially important to find out if there are barriers to learning that need to be addressed. We are delighted to have a tool that is well established, accessible to parents and older students, translated into many languages, simple to use and helpful to guide decisions about the best student support.
There are many circumstances where this tool may be useful for your child: academic concerns, failing the HSPE, needing a Student Learning Plan, being reviewed by the Student Intervention Team (SIT). If any of these problems appear, SPS staff may want to give this screen to your student. You can have the site create a report for your information or review the tool at: http://www.sdqinfo.com. If you do not want the SDQ given to your child please call/email me with your student's name and I will send you an exemption form to complete and return.
I want all our students to be healthy and safe. Please come see or call me if you have questions, concerns or just want to say hi!

Great Real Estate Buying Tips That Can Work For You!
Just like anything else in life, before you do anything, educate yourself as much as possible about real estate and how to go about buying it. Information will give you confidence and power when making investments for the long haul. The following article provides you with helpful hints and tips on how to purchase real estate.
If you are looking to relocate, consider looking into the neighborhood that the house is located in online. There is plenty of information available to you, even if you are thinking about moving to a small town. Before you spend money on relocating to a town, make sure you think about the economic situation there.
Houses that need some "tender loving care" are priced less. You may end up getting a real bargain that you can fix up exactly the way you want it. You can customize your home in the way you like, as well as build equity and add value with every improvement that you make. Be sure to look for what a house could be, not what it currently lacks. Look beyond minor imperfections, to see the home you have always dreamed of.
If you are purchasing an expensive, large property, you should have a reliable partner to help you. This can make it easier for you to get qualified for the loan needed when buying the property. Having a good partner will help you with a down payment, while also making the commercial loan qualification process much easier.
If a seller doesn't accept your offer on the home, don't be surprised if they still manage to make the home affordable for you. Such possibilities include offering to cover your closing costs or even do some upgrades and repairs to the property prior to your taking up residence.
When you buy a home, think about what your life will be like in five or ten years. While you might not have children yet, you may want some in the future. So you should still look at schools in the surrounding area to make sure that are satisfactory.
Request a checklist from your Realtor to put yourself in the best position before buying. Several Realtors have checklists that cover the purchase of a home, including budget. A checklist will keep you organized and allow you to measure your progress.
When you purchase any type of property, you need to have some extra funds set aside. Buyers usually consider the down payment, pro-rated property taxes and points when calculating closing costs. Most the the time closing costs have additional items like improvement bonds, school taxes and other things that relate directly to that particular area.
Taking the time to get educated about buying real estate is one of the smartest things that you could have done. While a real estate agent does provide valuable information, there are some decisions that an agent cannot help you with, and ultimately it is your responsibility to decide what is best for you. As such, you can now make decisions with more certainty.

How Safe are the JRFs These Days?
S. Koreans to Bodyguard Jordan's Royal Family
SEOUL, Dec. 18 (Yonhap) -- Five South Korean security experts trained in taekwondo martial arts will take charge of security for the royal family of Jordan, promoters said Thursday.
The three men and two women will leave for Jordan on Sunday to begin their assignment, scheduled to begin later this month, said their private security firm in Seoul, New Korea Total Service.
It is the first time that a South Korean security firm has been assigned to bodyguard foreign royal families or high-profile government officials.
Under a one-year contract, the three male guards will be assigned to bodyguard King Abdullah bin Hussein, while the two female guards are to protect Queen Rania al-Abdullah, company officials said.
"With fears of terrorism mounting in Gulf nations following the end of the Iraqi war, many Arab countries have expressed interests in South Korea's security guards," said Choi Seung-kap, head of the company.
The assigned bodyguards vowed to provide fool-proof protection.
"I feel a sense of burden, because South Korea's civilian security guards will be going overseas for the first time. We are fine-tuning our final training," said Lee Jeong-min, 23, a female guard.
The security firm said it is checking with other Arab nations, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, for similar contracts.
King Abdullah has said that a potentially massive attack on Jordan was thwarted by the arrest of a group of suspected terrorists.
The king said the assault could have killed thousands of civilians.
Authorities in the capital Amman have arrested a number of terror suspects over the past two weeks but had been searching for a remaining man.
But officials say all the group members have now been caught and a large amount of explosives has been seized.
In a letter thanking his intelligence chief for uncovering the terrorist plot, King Abdullah said Jordan had "lived through an extremely delicate situation in recent days".
"But divine protection has thwarted the plans of these criminals and saved the lives of thousands of civilians in what would have been a crime never before seen in the kingdom," he argued.
He said the huge number of explosives discovered recently suggested the magnitude of the attack that was being planned.
Al-Qaeda suspicions
The king did not specify the name of the group involved. But the US state department attributes the plot to al-Qaeda.
It said that the group's members planned to hit the US embassy in Amman.
The intelligence chief General Saad Khair said the group used religion as a pretext for its actions, but their plans were anything but religious.
He thought that they wanted to attack Jordan's position on upholding Arab causes, especially Palestinan rights. He said mop-up operations were continuing.
Last Saturday, the authorities in Jordan said they had found cars carrying explosives by an underground group planning to attack US interests in the kingdom.
And earlier this month, cars with explosives had been driven into Jordan from Syria. Although the border is patrolled, the authorities said smugglers had managed to slip in

Location: Green Bay, United States
About two years ago I read an article in "Hello" that said King Abdullah and his family were vacationing on a yacht and a speedboat filled with bombs and ammunition was spotted and diverted before it could run into the yacht and hurt or kill the family. Today, there is the story about al Quada being stopped at the last minute from detonating devices with poisonous gasses that would've sickened or killed thousands in Amman including the royal family. You couldn't pay me enough to live that way. I read in some posts people are tired of Rania bashing. I don't know what's been said but she seems to spend more time out of the country than in it. After today, I don't blame her. I know she's lost a ton of weight but living with the stress would probably have the same effect on most of us. You are always under scrutiny. You are always being judged. And your life and that of your family is always under threat. I think she puts a pretty good face on what would be--in my view--a very stressful life.
If Queen Noor and her children are spending more time in the US and England, I can't blame them.

You can't comfort the afflicted with afflicting the comfortable. Princess Diana
I think being royalty in this day and age in the Middle East must be scary as heck. I assume security has been stepped up for all of them. QR is fond of saying "you do what you want and eventually security stops saying "no." She was talking about hopping in her car and taking her kids to and from school, eating at local restaurants and just doing "normal" activities w/o security. I have to think that has stopped and everyone, including Noor, are being heavily guarded.

Erm I think that the proper term for individuals who "use" Islam for wrongdoings is Islamic extremists (just as there are individuals who are Jewish, Christian and Hindu extremists etc. who "use" their religions as a means to hurt innocent people as well). There is no such thing as an "Islamist". As for calling Islamic extremists "the" terrorists, there are many different types of terrorism in this world inclusive of many different individuals/groups who/which have nothing to do with Islam i.e. Timothy Mcveigh, Catholic-Protestant terrorism in Ireland, Cuban and Spanish terrorist groups, US governmental terrorism etc. Terrorism comes in all different sizes, shapes and forms, by individuals of many different ethnicities, cultures, religions and political ideologies who all have very different motives for their actions.

Taking ahead its hearing on batch of petitions, one of them taken suo motu by it on the contentious issue and recurring complaints of gender discrimination suffered by muslim women arising out of several rules in its personal laws, the Supreme Court today said it would decide issues pertaining to legal aspects of the practices of triple talaq, 'nikah halala' and polygamy among Muslims and would not deal with the question whether divorce under Muslim law needs to be supervised by courts as it falls under the legislative domain.
The bench, however, made it clear that it was not dealing with the issue of Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which is currently being examined by the Law Commission of India.
"You (lawyers for parties) sit together and finalise the issues to be deliberated upon by us. We are listing it day after tomorrow for deciding the issues", a bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justices N V Ramana and D Y Chandrachud said.
It is to be noted that on June 29 the Supreme Court had asked all parties including the Centre and All India Muslim Personal Board to frame legal propositions requiring consideration.
"It is a very important issue. Everyone needs to be heard. We will hold a preliminary hearing if there is need for deeper consultation we might even refer it to larger bench.Frame issues on what is the scope of judicial review in this matter at the same time if we feel that the law is settled we will not interfere Legal propositions which call for consideration have to be framed first. Do it within six weeks", a bench headed by then chief justice T S Thakur told lawyers of all parties.
Today the bench made it clear to the parties concerned that it would not deal with the factual aspects of the particular case and would rather decide the legal issue.
"We are not interested with facts at all. We are only interested in dealing with the legal issue", the bench said.
The apex court said that the question whether divorce under Muslim Personal Law needs to be supervised by either courts or by a court-supervised institutional arbitration falls under the legislative domain.
The court, meanwhile, allowed the lawyers to file small synopsis of cases pertaining to alleged victims of triple talaq.
The Centre had earlier opposed the practice of triple talaq, 'nikah halala' and polygamy among Muslims and favoured a relook on grounds like gender equality and secularism.


Pears are a versatile fruit that can be eaten raw, grilled, added to meat dishes or made into desserts. They contain vitamins A and C and are a good source of dietary fibre. In Victoria, pears (depending on variety) are at their peak between February and August.
Ripe pears bursting with juice are a classic addition to desserts and breakfasts, either fresh or poached with aromatic spices. Their delicate flavour also makes a perfect addition to simple starters such as fresh pear wrapped in ham or prosciutto, or cheese platters, where crisp slices of pear accompany robust cheeses such as cheddar or gorgonzola.
Pears are believed to have originated in China before spreading to the mild and temperate regions of Europe. They were cultivated in ancient times and were enjoyed by the Greeks and Romans. There is a recipe for stewed, spiced pear in the ancient Roman cookbook, the Apicius. In the 18th century, the French and Belgians developed the fruit that are the ancestors of the pears that we eat today.
Pear trees arrived in Australia with the First Fleet in 1787, and more were planted during the gold rush in the 1850s. Some wild pear trees are still found today in the old mining districts.
In Australia, pears are available by variety. One of the most common types is the Packham (or Packham's Triumph), which has green skin that turns yellow when ripe. The Williams (or Bartlett) is also common and has light green skin that also turns yellow when ripe. Both pear varieties have white, juicy flesh when ripe.
Another common pear is the Beurre Bosc, which has an elongated, tapering neck and a greenish brown skin that becomes darker when ripe. The flesh is white and juicy and grittier than other varieties. It is a great cooking pear as it holds its shape well.
Other varieties include the Red Sensation (or Sensation), which has creamy white flesh and red skin with yellow near the stem, and the Corella, a small pear with green skin streaked with red and gold. This type of pear has yellow, very sweet and juicy flesh. The Josephine, Comice, Red (and green) d'Anjou, Winter Nelis and Winter Colis are also available throughout the season.The nashi or Chinese or Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) is not a cross between an apple and a pear but a unique species. It was originally brought to Australia by Chinese goldminers in the 1850s. This yellow-skinned, round pear has crisp, juicy flesh.
Pears are a source of vitamins A (important for growth and development and the maintenance of your immune system), C (needed for the growth and repair of tissues in the body), K (important for helping your blood to clot) and folate.
Pears contain dietary fibre, which is important for a healthy bowel.
Energy – 100 g of pear (depending on the variety) supplies about 230 kJ.
Pear trees are deciduous trees (they lose their leaves every year) that grow best in cool to mild climates. They can grow up to 15 m as a pyramid-shaped tree and should be planted in a sunny, sheltered position. The tree has shiny, dark green leaves that are round to oval-shaped. Pear trees have fragrant white flowers that develop into clusters of fruit when pollinated.
Pears can be picked off the tree before they are ripe. Handpick the fruit when it is firm, green and mature by cutting the stalk from the branch. The skin of pears is very sensitive to damage so take care when handling the fruit.
Some species of pear trees are used as ornamental trees.
Choose pears that are firm, with intact stems. Avoid those that have cuts, bruises or other blemishes on their skin.
To check the ripeness of a pear, press gently near the stem. If it 'gives', then it is ready to eat.
Store unripe pears at room temperature. They will ripen within three to five days. You can also ripen pears by placing them in a brown paper bag with a banana or an apple.
Once the pears are ripe, store them in the crisper section of your fridge. They will last for a few days when stored this way.
Make a versatile salad – combine slices of pear (try Corella), rocket, red oak lettuce leaves and shaved parmesan cheese and dress with a honey, red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard vinaigrette, then serve alongside steak or as a starter.
Serve an easy chicken dish – mix watercress, lettuce, sliced pears, sprouts and parsley, then add sliced cooked chicken breast and pour over a dressing made with orange juice, balsamic vinegar, wholegrain mustard, fresh chopped tarragon and oil.
Enjoy a simple starter – roast sliced pears until soft and golden, then combine with mixed salad leaves and cooked pancetta (or bacon), scatter with blue cheese and dress with red wine vinegar and oil before serving.
Try a healthy pear and celeriac soup – sauté garlic, chopped ginger and shallots, add chopped pears, celeriac and vegetable stock, gently simmer until the celeriac is soft, then whiz in a food processor and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before eating.
Pears (depending on variety) are at their peak between February and August.
Pears are available all year round at supermarkets and fresh food markets.
About 3,000 different varieties of pears are grown around the world.
The ancient Greeks used pears as a treatment for nausea.
Pears were considered to be a symbol of immortality by the Chinese – destruction of a pear tree is believed to signal a tragic or untimely death.
One medium pear provides one serve of fruit.

Helping the Homeless to Help Themselves
A medal celebrating 15 years of sobriety proudly hangs around Scott McClelland's neck.
"In a few months, I'll be picking up 16 years," he says. "I don't even think about using anymore."
Scott has worked hard to put a troubled life behind him. He credits, in part, the help of the Saint Martin de Porres Residence, which serves homeless men and women in Lewiston, and the residence's founder, Brother Irénée Richard, O.P.
"I could never do enough to pay him back for what he did for me," Scott says.
Scott, who has worked at Saint Martin de Porres for seven years now, says he knows the difference that the residence can make in people's lives. He has witnessed it, and he has lived it.
"I came from where these people come from," he says. "They come in and say, 'Can you help me?' And I say, 'Yes.' And you can see the hopelessness disappear in their faces. I can't describe that feeling. I know that feeling. There are no words to say how big that is on the soul."
Scott, who is originally from Lynn, Mass., says he began drinking at age 13, the consequence of a troubled home life. Drug use followed.
"It was a very rough life. At the age of 17, I was kicked out of my home. I lived on the streets from that point on, until I was 36 years old," he says.
Scott says an arrest on a drug charge led to a work program and the road to sobriety. At the invitation of his sister and with a desire to escape the environment he feared would cause him to relapse, he came to Maine. After living with his sister for a short time, he moved in with a girlfriend. It was a falling out with her in 2007 that threatened to unravel the work he had done.
"I felt like I was in that helpless state of mind again. Here we go. I'm back on the streets," he says. "It's hard for me to humble myself and ask for help, but I didn't know what to do. I was lost, and Brother took me in."
Scott says the residence gave him a place to start over and provided him the connections to help him do it.
"It got me started," he says. "When I was ready for help, and I was willing to accept that help, they helped me, and my life has been different ever since."
Jim Cutting, another employee and former client, says the residence did the same for him.
"My life is completely different from what it was prior to coming here," he says.
Jim spent 35 days at the Saint Martin de Porres Residence in 2012. He says he was going through a divorce and not coping well. Although he had stopped using drugs years earlier, he says he had replaced them with addictions to video games, the Internet, and sex.
"It wasn't physically killing me, but it was just making me into a person that I didn't like. I'm so glad that I'm not that person anymore," he says.
Jim credits the Twelve Hour Club, a former sober social club in Lewiston, along with the residence, for helping him to get his life under control.
"It was a combination," he says. "It wasn't until I started going to meetings at the club and talking with the old timers there, and acknowledging, 'Hey, I've got a problem. I need to fix this.'"
He says support from the residence and the meetings gave him the positive momentum he needed, and soon, he had a small apartment of his own and was volunteering at the club.
"When I came here, I was lost," he says. "This place put me on my path."
Jim and Scott are not alone. Since Brother Irénée founded the residence 25 years ago, it has served approximately 3,700 guests. From the beginning, the mission has been the same.
"Our ministry is very simple. We welcome our guests with open arms. No matter what they have done or what their issues are, we accept them where they are at, without judging them or labeling them. They are our brothers and sisters going through rough times, and we are here to say that you are okay, and things will get better if you sincerely work at it. For many of them, we become their second family," says Brother Irénée. "We are there to help, not to enable, so they have to be motivated. That has not changed and will not change."
Brother Irénée says his inspiration for opening the residence came from a homeless man named Alan, whom he met 30 years ago and came to know over a three-year period. Brother Irénée remembers the reaction he received after inviting Alan to regularly join him for supper.
"I told him, 'After work, you come to the priory here, and we'll have supper, because I think it's important that you have at least one good meal a day. So, I'll wait for you for supper.' And these were his words: 'You are going to wait for me?'"
Then, when Alan asked why Brother Irénée was helping him, Alan seemed to struggle with the answer he received.
"I said, 'Well, it's because I care about you, and I love you.' And his face just dropped. And I said, 'Did I say something wrong?' He said, 'I don't know what love is.'"
Brother Irénée says after leading a youth retreat at the Lazarus House, a shelter in Massachusetts, he knew the path he was called to take. At the end of the retreat, when participants were invited to share something with the group, he announced, 'I am committing myself today to bring this program to Lewiston.'"
"The whole thing felt good. And I said, 'Yes, this is what I want,'" he recalls.
He said all the pieces fell into place, including the Dominican Brothers agreeing to let him use one of their buildings. He feared they might be hesitant, but just the opposite proved to be true.
"It was all positive," he says.
The residence serves up to 10 people at a time, and it accepts both men and women. Clients must have a referral from another agency and go through an intake process to determine if they're willing to follow the rules and commit to trying to improve their situations.
The approach, Jim says, depends on the guest.
"We don't just talk at people and tell them what to do. We actually engage with them. We relate with them," says Jim. "It's definitely a personal thing. There is no one answer for it. You have to approach each as a unique person."
He and Scott say their own experiences help them see things from the guests' perspectives.
"Everybody who works in that office now, be it second shift or overnight shift, they have slept in these beds at one point or another, so they know exactly where they're coming from," says Scott. "Most of us have been through recovery, have struggled with the same demons, the same problems."
"People can go to school to become social workers, crisis workers, but there is only so much you can learn from a textbook," says Jim. "It's the little stuff that takes a shelter environment from being impersonal to something that they feel comfortable in, safe."
For Jim, that has meant dressing casually, for instance in a sweatshirt rather than a shirt and tie. It also includes sharing a family-style meal prepared each evening by some of the residence's numerous and invaluable volunteers.
"Like I tell the guests at intake, 'If you ever leave the table hungry, it's your own fault,'" says Jim.
Demand for the shelter's beds has increased through the years, especially among women. It is why Brother Irénée says the time has come to open a separate building for them. It will be called the Saint Catherine of Siena Residence and, if all stays on track, will be located in the former Saint André Group Home in Lewiston, which was affiliated with the Good Shepherd Sisters of Quebec.
"This idea of a women's shelter has been brewing for quite a while, and I found out Saint André's Group Home had to close because of cuts in government funding. So I said, 'Hmm. I wonder.'"
He contacted the Good Shepherd Sisters of Quebec and the Saint André Group Home Corporation, and he learned they were willing to sell the home for $125,000. In the meantime, he says an unsolicited donation came in for $50,000. As when the first residence opened, everything has come together.
"That came from the sky. I did not ask for that," says Brother Irénée. "I looked at my assistant, Bernie, and said, 'This is scary. This is exactly what happened with this place.'"
With that $50,000 and another $3,000 the residence had in reserve, Brother Irénée contacted Saint André's executive director, wondering how to proceed. He says he is still amazed at what happened next.
"The Board of Incorporators, which is the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, voted to let the house go for $75,000, and they were giving me two years to pay off the $23,000. I just couldn't believe it. I said, 'This is too much!'"
Brother Irénée then wrote to Sister Diane Beaudoin, S.C.S.H., superior general of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Hyacinthe, who have been generous supporters of the residence since it opened, asking if they might be willing to make a contribution.
"I said, 'This is what is happening. There is a need, and we have this house.' And they sent me $30,000," he says. "The house is paid with a little left over."
Brother Irénée says he has no doubt that it is God's work.
"This is from God. This is just too much. It is too much. I should write a book, 'What God wants, God gets' should be the title," he says.
Some regulatory approval is still needed, but Brother Irénée hopes the Saint Catherine of Siena Residence will open in early 2017.
Brother Irénée says it is hard to believe that the Saint Martin de Porres Residence has been welcoming guests for 25 years now. For all that time, it has relied almost entirely on donations and proceeds from its thrift store. Other than a FEMA grant, it gets no government funding.
"We are here by the grace of God, and I mean that," he says.
While not all who stay at the residence are able to turn their lives around, there are many success stories. You have to look no further than Jim and Scott. The two are now helping Brother Irénée computerize all 25 years of his files. Scott owns a home in Greene, earned his GED, and is taking classes at Central Maine Community College. He hopes, one day, to start his own business and would like to be able to offer transitional housing for guests after they leave the residence.
"You come over here; you get stable; and then you go over there, get a job, pay rent," he explains. "I dream big."
For now, both Scott and Jim are happy to be working with Brother Irénée as he continues his mission to help the homeless help themselves.
"I always want to help people. And once I found myself finally stable enough, straight enough, sober enough to help people, when Bob (Coffey, a former employee) offered me the job in 2015, I said, 'Yes. I'll do it,'" says Jim. "I like being here. Working in a homeless shelter is something that I wanted to do for years."
"I came from where these people came from, and being able to help them is really important to me," says Scott. "I'm just amazed at how powerful this one little shelter is. What they do here is really, really amazing."

The science behind the name of the Wegmans
April 17, 2020 by mywegmansconnect
Most companies named after a person or family have a possessive apostrophe, which means ownership. Discover cabbage, Macy's, Dillard and many others.
Wegmans, the popular supermarket chain that has developed a cult in its region, has none. It also doesn't keep its unique name (like Nordstrom).
MyWegmansConnect possessed an apostrophe when it was established by John and Walter Wegman in 1916, but it was canceled years ago and thus making the name plural.
It has been out of service since 1931 when the company integrated and simplified the logo, says the Wegmans website. Think of it as the plural of Wegmans, like the many generations of the Wegman family who have built the business!
Even if Wegmans wanted to reverse his name and add this apostrophe, it would be very expensive. Wegmans estimates that adding an apostrophe to the plaque in front of each of his stores would cost more than $ 500,000.
It does not take into account all the changes you would have to make to all of your other companies, exchanges, products and more. Wegmans has changed its logo multiple times over the years without posting the apostrophe, but it had far fewer companies to switch to the euro (in addition to the 2008 name change).
MyWegmansConnect currently has a total of around 75 branches. Can you imagine that a brand like Subway, a fast-food chain with around 37,000 locations worldwide, has changed its logo? This would cost the company and its franchisees millions.
You see how expensive brand changes are when you see a company like JCPenney change not only signage but for all store designs as well.

Gubernatorial Candidate, J. B. Pritzker toured the Midwest Veterans Closet in North Chicago on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at the request of Mary Carmody, the Veterans Closet's Founder and Executive Director. Pritzker was able to see first hand the work that the Veterans Closet provides to Veterans of Lake County which includes North Chicago, Waukegan, Zion and the surrounding areas which are heavily populated by Veterans.
"We do everything that we can to positively impact the lives of our local Veterans, especially those in need," says Mary Carmody.
The Veterans Closet provides free clothing, personal items, and small household goods. Many of the Veterans that are served need jobs and transportation. The center operates on very hot days as a cooling center for veterans without air conditioning.
"I want to thank Mary Carmody for the work that she is doing for the Veterans of the community. She is an angel," said J. B. Pritzker.
Pritzker went on to say that if elected to the governor's post, he would seek improved healthcare benefits for veterans, saying that "healthcare is not just a privilege, it is a right".
Area political leaders like John Idleburg, Candidate for County Sheriff, Beverly Mull, President of the Zion Library Board, and State Senator and Assistant Minority Whip Terry Link also attended the event. Many Veterans came out for the program, some shopped for free clothing and supplies.
Pastor Melvin Brown of Unity Temple Baptist Church provided the Invocation, and his family, known as the Brown Family Children's Choir, which includes 10 children, sang a song for the group.
A sumptuous barbecue was prepared by Chef Aaron Price with desserts by Heller Catering, Chef Catherine O'Meara.
Pritzker took the time to ask questions and speak individually with Veterans who were in attendance. He discussed their concerns and needs.
The Midwest Veterans Closet is accepting financial, clothing, supplies, and small appliance donations. To donate or help in any way, please call the center director at 847-354-2108.

Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night review – a sequel that beats its predecessor
Lory Gil on May 26, 2015
About a year-and-a-half ago, I reviewed the iOS version of the 1987 board game classic Chainsaw Warrior. I love board games and this digital version proved to be entertaining and fun.
Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night is the digital-only sequel to the zombie killing card game and it has improved significantly from its predecessor. We've got a game review of Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night for you today.
Players act as the slightly crazy former Special Forces soldier "Chainsaw Warrior" as he fights the forces of evil to save all humanity. Irradiated Zombies, insane cultists, and The Darkness himself. With only 60 minutes to save the world, you must use all weapons at your disposal to defeat your enemies by relying on the randomness of dice rolls.
While this title is based on the original card game by Games Workshop, it has an updated design for the digital age. The graphics and animations work seamlessly with the iOS touch screen and such actions as rolling the dice are replaced with buttons for melee, evade, or ranged. Although the buttons still produce a dice roll, it keeps players in the world instead of remind you that you are playing a board game.
The game has three levels of difficulty with easy mode offering generous stats and weaker minions. Hard mode reduces your stats to random dice rolls and minions are much stronger. Once you've chosen the mode, you will be able to add weapons based on how many equipment points you have.
You can carry melee weapons, ranged weapons, armor, special items like med kits, heavy weapons like flamethrowers, and more. However, the number of points you can spend on equipment limits you.
At the start of the game, players tap the top card to reveal its content. You may have to fight a zombie or roll to see if you have avoided a trap. Some enemies are far off and you can either attack with your ranged weapon or charge in to fight melee. Some monsters have radiation poison or venom that will automatically reduce your health when revealed. If your resistance to venom or radiation reduces to zero, you will die.
There are three locations in this game, represented by three card decks that you must fight your way through. Each deck has increasingly difficult monsters to fight and bosses that require a specific weapon in order to defeat. The boss is usually so tough that, if you don't kill him with one blow, he will kill you.
Each card draw and action costs 30 seconds of time. Since you only have 60 minutes to save the world, speed is important. If you have the option to skip a card, it might be a good idea to take it. If you don't get through all three decks in 60 in-game minutes, The Darkness will destroy the world.
I love the updated look and feel of the game. It is similar to the original iOS Chainsaw Warrior, but is made for digital gaming.
Easy mode is significantly harder than the original version, which is a great improvement. It creates the need for more strategy in your equipment choices or you will risk defeat.
I didn't find anything wrong with this game. It works great, plays seamlessly on iPad Air, and has a polished game mechanic.
Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of Night costs $5.99, which is typical of an iOS board game. There are no in-app purchases. This isn't a card collecting game that will eventually take all of your money. The replay value is high. Even easy mode is more difficult than the original iOS version of the game, which makes you want to play more in order to work on your strategy until you get it right.
If you are a fan of Chainsaw Warrior, this is a great improvement over the original iOS version. The graphics and animations are better and the overall game mechanics make this a great digital board game. It is available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Download it in the App Store today.
Yomi is a great battle-based card game. Cards and Castles is a strategy-based card game.

Did Germany just overtake the UK as the world's third biggest recorded music market?
By Tim Ingham
The big news out of Germany today: the market's recorded music industry has bounced back, in a big way, after two years of slight decline.
According to stats from BVMI (which you can read all about through here), the market was up 8.2% last year, with streaming revenues flying up 27% to top $1bn for the first time.
BVMI reports retail stats in Germany – i.e. the amount of money handed over by consumers at the tills, on online stores, and via their streaming subscriptions.
Over in the UK, we've also recently seen preliminary retail revenue statistics for 2019 announced, from the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA).
As published on January 3, ERA's numbers show that UK consumers spent £1.41bn on recorded music across all formats in 2019 up 7.1% on the previous year (2018)'s haul of £1.32bn.
Within that £1.41bn figure, according to ERA, was some £1.003bn spent by UK music fans on subscription streaming services last year.
Using the official UK government (HMRC) annual average conversation rates, we can figure out that, in US dollar terms, the UK recorded music industry generated $1.80bn last year, with $1.28bn spent on subscription streaming services.
Those numbers are important for the next bit of this analysis (thus why they're in bold), so please do remember 'em.
Now, back to Germany.
According to BVMI, Germany's recorded music market generated some €1.623 billion on a retail basis in 2019.
Within this figure, streaming generated €894m (over half of total revenues).
Here, we can turn to another solid source for currency conversion – the average Euro-to-USD annual 2019 rate as published by Vivendi, owner of the biggest music rights company in the world, Universal Music Group.
Using that number ($1.123 for every €1), we can also work out a USD number for Germany's market in 2019: it comes out at a total market revenue of $1.823bn, with streaming weighing in with $1.003bn.
Here's how all of this stacks together in a graph.
As you can see, in terms of industry-reported retail numbers at the US dollar-level, Germany is coming out just higher than the UK here – thanks to Germany growing 8.2% in 2019, and the UK growing by a smaller margin of 7.1%.
This suggests that Germany is in with a chance of claiming the coveted spot of the world's third biggest recorded music market after the two biggest markets, the USA (No.1) and Japan (No.2).
However, with that headline above in mind, there's a big caveat to mention here: in addition to subscriptions paid for by consumers, BVMI has confirmed to MBW that its numbers also include advertising revenues from streaming services.
ERA's numbers, by contrast, only include subscription payments by consumers; advertising revenues from streaming services are not included in its figures. With this stat added in, it's likely that the UK's total revenues would once again trump Germany's.
Next month, the IFPI will reveal the real 'winner' of third spot in its annual report on the global recorded music industry, based on the most important number – the wholesale money making its way back to artists and labels.

How does Acupuncture regulate Lipid Metabolism in PCOS Women?
Women suffering from PCOS have a higher disposition toward coronary arterial disease (CAD). The prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in PCOS women is as high as 40% with increased prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia and abnormal glucose metabolism, all before age 30 (El-Mazny et al, 2010). PCOS women aged 20-40 already demonstrate poor vascular function measured by brachial artery vascular flow (Dokras et al, 2006).
Several studies reported that acupuncture can resolve lipid metabolism in different pathogenic conditions. Women with obesity who under went acupuncture treatment showed a decrease in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride serum levels. One suggestion as to how that happens is the increase serum levels of beta-endorphin as a result of the treatment. Other studies suggested that acupuncture modulates cholesterol concentrations by promoting lipid metabolism and suppressing inflammation via modulating mRNA expression.
Ling Li et al (2012) concluded that acupuncture lowers both cholesterol and triglycerides. The laboratory research measured biochemical responses to electro acupuncture at acupoint ST40 (Fenglong) to map the mechanisms by which acupuncture reduces hyperlipidemia. This study documents that electro acupuncture induces expression of nNOS and Mt1. The nNOS enzyme mediates nitric oxide signaling and plays an important role in cellular signaling, vascular tone, blood pressure, insulin secretion, airway tone, angiogenesis and peristalsis. Mt1 plays an important role in the protection against oxidative stress. Based on these, the researchers conclude that electroacupuncture and its effect on nitric oxide signaling transduction can bring down levels of plasma total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and proinflammatory macrophages in cases of hyperlipidemia.

Greater Gift, a North Carolina non-profit corporation, is proud to bring Departure, part of the Hero's Journey™ Art Project, to Winston-Salem. The Hero's Journey™ Art Project was a collaboration initiated by Eli Lilly and Company and the clinical trial community to honor clinical trial participants and raise awareness for the importance of participation. Lilly commissioned artist John Magnan to build crowdsourced sculptures to call attention to the importance of clinical research and launch a unique means of connecting and sharing clinical research stories. Patients, caregivers, physicians and scientists shared their thoughts and feelings about clinical research through personalized wooden "bricks". More than 1,000 of these decorated wooden bricks were used to form three Hero's Journey Art sculptures.
The evening will focus on clinical research awareness, with a panel discussion that includes key insights from pharma, healthcare and a patient. In addition, we will have three break-out sessions that include relevant topics and discussion centered on technology advancements in research, career development in clinical research and the importance of clinical trial participation.
We are excited to welcome Departure to our city through an evening centered around clinical research in partnership with Venture Café of Winston-Salem.

Plant a Tree for Yu
Yu "Danny" Hou
April 24, 1926 ~ December 9, 2020 (age 94)
Yu "Danny" Hou, 94, passed away peacefully on December 9, 2020, surrounded by his devoted wife, Esther Hou, and his loving daughters, Jean Huang and Janet Hou.
Yu was born in Liaoning, China, to the late Xin Wu Hou and Han Shi Hou. He received a BS, MS, and PhD from National Taiwan University (Department of Agronomy). He was forever an intellect, always curious
and wanting to understand how things worked and why.
Shortly after finishing his undergraduate studies, Yu was wrongly detained and imprisoned for 10 years, perceived as a student political activist, during Taiwan's "White Terror" suppression of academics and political dissidents. Later in life, he never held ill will towards anyone for this very trying time, and was kind and patient with all that met him.
Yu moved to East Lansing, MI, in 1972 to work for Michigan State University, and then shortly thereafter to Buffalo, NY, working in the cytogenetics field at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He continued research at UNC (Cell Biology and Anatomy) in Chapel Hill, NC.
While Yu was very intellectual in his pursuits, he was also very artistic, writing Chinese poems, practicing Chinese calligraphy, and shooting film photography. After retirement, Yu was an avid bridge player and yogi. He enjoyed traveling and being outdoors to enjoy nature. But most of all, Yu was devoted to his family, visiting them as often as possible across the United States, China, and Taiwan. He will be missed by so many for his thoughtfulness, genuine caring, and selfless consideration for others.
Yu is survived by Esther, his wife of 48 years, by his daughters Jean Huang (Paul) of Vienna, VA, and Janet Hou (Marc Bellemare), of St. Paul, MN, by his three grandchildren Jasmine Huang, Sage Huang, Sophia Bellemare, by his sister Shou Ye of Beijing, China, by his nephews and nieces Anping Hou, Anlee Krupp, Anchi Hou, Zhi Li, Fei Li, Jian Sheng Hou, Jian Qun Hou, Jian Xin Hou, and many grand-nephews and grand-nieces.
Yu was preceded in death by his parents Xin Wu Hou and Han Shi Hou, by his brothers Kai Hou and Yue Hou, and by his niece Jian Sui Hou.
A service will not be held at this time; a private celebration of his life will be arranged at a later time.
To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Yu "Danny" Hou, please visit our floral store.
You can still show your support by sending flowers directly to the family, or by planting a memorial tree in the memory of Yu "Danny" Hou

Richmond, VA...Governor McAuliffe declared July 25-30, 2016 to be "Virginia Private College Week." The proclamation (2016 Virginia Private College Week) explains the many different advantages that Virginia's private colleges and universities provide to Virginians and the Commonwealth. The proclamation cites the valuable role Virginia's private colleges and universities play in the higher education system.
Over $690 million in need and merit based grant aid was distributed by Virginia private colleges to their students last year.
82% of all undergraduates at Virginia private colleges and universities receive financial aid.
49% of all undergraduates at Virginia private colleges and universities receive Pell Grants.
CICV member institutions are cost effective. 36% of all Virginia undergraduates do not take out any student loans at all and the average student debt is similar to that of Virginia's 4-year public colleges.
In-state students attending a Virginia private college are eligible for the Tuition Assistance Grant (TAG). A program of the Commonwealth of Virginia, TAG is an annual grant available for four years at the undergraduate level and is not based on need. TAG will be approximately $3,200 for the 2016-2017 year.
Sessions at most colleges will begin at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Students who visit at least three institutions during the week will receive three application fee waivers. Students may use these waivers to apply to any three participating CICV colleges for free. In addition, students visiting at least three institutions will also be eligible for a drawing for a $500 Amazon gift card.
For more information Virginia Private College Week, including a list of participating colleges and exceptions to this schedule, please visit www.vaprivatecolleges.org.
