In the past years, there have been some debates about the name of the Şıllık dessert. Known for years as Şileki, which means ıslak (wet) in the Southeast, this dessert started to be known as Şıllık, which is used by outsiders after the 1990s.

Gaming moves further into the cloud as OnLive announces a cloud-based gaming service with support from publishing heavyweights such as Electronic Arts (EA), THQ and Ubisoft.
As more companies become comfortable moving their businesses into cloud-based services, consumers are also waking up to the idea that cloud-based storage (and entertainment) is a safe and practical alternative. With this in mind, OnLive, a deliverer of on-demand, instant-play video games, announced the PC and Mac versions of its game service would begin rolling out to consumers on June 17 at the E3 video games trade show. The OnLive Game Service is an on-demand video game platform capable of delivering games via a broadband connection on virtually any PC or Mac, via a small browser plug-in, or on an HDTV, via the company's MicroConsole TV Adapter.
OnLive will charge customers $14.95 a month to rent or purchase games from publishers including Ubisoft, THQ and Electronic Arts (EA). The company said loyalty programs such as multimonth pricing and special offers would be announced by the start of E3. For starters, OnLive is announcing a pre-registration offer, wherein the first 25,000 qualified registrants will have their OnLive $14.95 monthly service fee waived for the first three months of service. During this special three month introductory period, full versions of games will be available for purchase or rental on an ??í la carte basis.
"This marks a huge milestone for both OnLive and the interactive entertainment landscape as a whole, changing the way that video games are developed, marketed, accessed and played," said Steve Perlman, founder and CEO of OnLive. "We are opening the door to incredible experiences for gamers and enormous opportunities for developers and publishers."
The service will also include standard online game service features such as gamer tags, user profiles, friends, and chat. In addition, an evolving slate of features will include 3D graphics performance, instant-play free game demos, multiplayer across PC, Mac and TV platforms, Brag Clips video capture and posting, massive spectating and cloud-saved games, which will allow users to pause and resume from anywhere, even on a different platform.
"The OnLive Game Service creates a new opportunity for consumers to play the latest games without spending hundreds of dollars on a hardware system to make it happen," said Mike McGarvey, COO of OnLive. "As a Mac user myself, I'm excited about the opportunity to help bring high-end gaming to this new and significant market."
While this service is clearly marketed toward the gaming community, its release underscores how attractive cloud-based services are becoming to consumers and businesses. Earlier this week, storage solutions and online cloud computing application services provider IceWeb announced the launch of its Iplicity Data Storage platform, which enables the incorporation of available disk storage resident in non-Iplicity-based legacy storage vendor products.
However, concerns over privacy and security, not to mention reliability, linger: A survey commissioned by Symantec in February found the business community was divided as to how cloud computing and virtualization affected security efforts. While 40 percent of respondents said their businesses were employing cloud-based applications, 40 percent said it would be more difficult to prevent or react to data loss under the company's cloud-computing strategy.

Adolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889. His parents were Austrian-born and his father was 51 at the time of his birth. He had four siblings that died in childhood and only one that survived with him. As a young child, Adolf did well in school and appeared to be on a track to success as an educated person in the early 1900s. However, his father died at age 13, and it wasn't long before Hitler began having trouble in school. His mother allowed him to leave school before he finished, and he eventually moved to Vienna to become an artist.
After two failed attempts to gain admission to art school, Hitler kept up his charade that he was going to school in Vienna because he didn't want to disappoint his mother. In the meanwhile, he was living a very bohemian lifestyle, doing odd jobs and selling paintings to get by. The first of his anti-Semitic views are believed to have developed during his time in Vienna. Eventually, he was drafted into the Austrian army, but he didn't want to join because of their 'mixed race' group of soldiers. He managed to fail the physical exam due to 'weakness' and moved to Berlin.
Once in Berlin, Hitler decided to volunteer for Germany's army at the start of World War I. His idealization of the German army and government is part of the nationalist ideologies that he picked up in his younger days. He served in World War I, dutifully, and attempted to stay in the army for as long as he could. Once the war was over and an armistice had been reached, Adolf Hitler became even more empowered by his ideals as he felt Germany had stabbed its people in the back by surrendering to the Allied forces.
By 1920, Hitler was leading the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi Party), as he had re-named it. He used this position to fuel his political agenda based on his beliefs of racial superiority and a totalitarian state of government. By 1933, he had risen to chancellor of Germany. He turned the country into a dictatorship and quickly took control. Although he started small, with discrimination of Jews and other inferiors, Hitler's rule eventually led to the Holocaust, which involved the death of more than 11 million people who were deemed 'inferior' to the Master Race. This spawned World War II, which lasted until 1945 when the Allied powers finally invaded Germany. Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, shortly after his defeat.

D&E Abortion Bans: The Implications of Banning the Most Common Second-Trimester Procedure
First published online: February 21, 2017
Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is a safe abortion procedure that accounts for the majority of second-trimester abortions in the United States.
Restricting this method is part of a larger campaign to limit access to abortion and would force providers to substitute the ideology of lawmakers for their own professional medical judgment and the preferences of their patients.
The impact of a D&E ban would fall most heavily on women who are already at a disadvantage when it comes to obtaining abortion care.
Since 2015, state lawmakers have begun to target the abortion method most commonly used in the second trimester, dilation and evacuation (D&E). Banning D&E is one of several trends to emerge from among the recent onslaught of state abortion restrictions, and the idea is rooted in a long history of efforts to limit access to abortion after the first trimester by enacting restrictions on specific abortion methods. Legislation to create a nationwide D&E ban was introduced in the 114th Congress, and antiabortion members of Congress—emboldened by the 2016 elections—may seize upon this tactic as part of an expansive new agenda to roll back abortion rights.
By restricting the most common method of second-trimester abortion, policymakers hostile to abortion would take a significant step forward in their campaign to eliminate abortion access in the United States. As with most abortion restrictions, the consequences would fall hardest on those already struggling to obtain access to abortion.
D&E is a safe and common method of second-trimester abortion. Dilation and evacuation is a surgical abortion procedure that takes place after the first trimester of pregnancy.1 Similar to a first-trimester surgical procedure, the patient's cervix is dilated and suction is used to remove the fetus.2 Depending on a variety of factors (including gestational age, the extent of dilation, and providers' training and preference), the provider might also use surgical instruments as a primary or secondary part of the procedure.1,2 Eleven percent of abortions in the United States take place after the first trimester, and national estimates suggest that D&E accounts for roughly 95% of these procedures.3,4
The safety of the D&E method was documented by the late 1970s.5 According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), D&E is the "predominant approach to abortion after 13 weeks," and it is "evidence-based and medically preferred because it results in the fewest complications for women compared to alternative procedures."6
Unable to ban abortion outright, abortion foes are trying to ban it method by method. Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion nationwide in 1973, state and federal policymakers have pursued numerous strategies to restrict access. One such strategy has focused on eliminating access to abortion after the first trimester by banning one method at a time.
Missouri enacted the first method ban in 1974, the year after Roe v. Wade was decided. Missouri's law banned what was then the most common and safest method for second-trimester abortion, saline amniocentesis. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately struck down Missouri's law in Planned Parenthood of Central Missouri v. Danforth in 1976, identifying it as an "arbitrary regulation designed to prevent the vast majority of abortions after the first 12 weeks." Nonetheless, as medicine and technology evolved and other abortion procedures were developed in the years following Roe v. Wade, antiabortion policymakers revived their focus on specific methods.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, state efforts to restrict access to abortion after the first trimester coalesced around bans on "partial-birth" abortion—an inflammatory term, coined by the antiabortion group National Right to Life, that has no precise medical definition. Many, but not all, of these state-level restrictions were struck down by courts, until the Supreme Court upheld a federal version in Gonzales v. Carhart in 2007. That law bans "partial-birth" abortion except when the woman's life is endangered. The Court found the provocatively worded, but medically imprecise definition of the procedure sufficient to pass constitutional muster and applied it to the dilation and extraction (D&X) abortion method. In doing so, a majority on the Court reasoned that women would still have access to the safe and effective D&E method. In response to the decision, ACOG stated that the Supreme Court disregarded medical consensus that the D&X method is "safest and offers significant benefits for women suffering from certain conditions" and further noted that the ban "diminishes the doctor-patient relationship by preventing physicians from using their clinical experience and judgment."7
Current efforts to restrict D&E adhere closely to the "partial-birth" abortion ban playbook. As of mid-February, seven states have enacted laws essentially banning D&E; four of the bans are currently not in effect while litigation against them proceeds and a fifth is scheduled to go into effect in August.8 The bills enacted so far, as well as the federal bill introduced in 2015, follow model legislation crafted by National Right to Life. They include only very limited exceptions. In addition, while they appear to target procedures in which surgical instruments are used prior to suction, the bills do not use precise medical terminology. Rather, they employ inflammatory rhetoric designed to arouse antiabortion sentiment (for example, referring to the banned procedure as "dismemberment abortion") and leave providers with the difficult task of figuring out how to amend their practice to comply with ideological restrictions that are not grounded in science.
D&E bans interfere with providers' medical judgment and limit options for patients. Because D&E bans are in effect in only two states and affect very few abortion providers, the impact of these policies is not yet clear. Medical groups argue that if faced with one of these bans, providers would be forced to base clinical decisions on fear of prosecution rather than on their professional medical judgment or the preferences of their patients. According to ACOG, such restrictions "limit the ability of physicians to provide women with the medically appropriate care they need, and will likely result in worsened outcomes and increased complications."6 In sum, "doctors will be forced, by ill-advised, unscientifically motivated policy, to provide lesser care to patients."
One potential modification to the procedure would require women to undergo an additional, invasive step before a D&E to induce fetal demise, such as an injection through the woman's abdomen or cervix. Although some providers take this step when they believe it will make an abortion easier to perform in a specific case or when a patient requests it, leading authorities such as ACOG and the Society of Family Planning have concluded that the available evidence does not support induction of fetal demise as a general practice to increase patient safety.5,9
Although rarely used in the United States, another potential option is to induce labor using medication instead of performing a D&E. According to leading authorities, induction is a safe and effective method of second-trimester abortion and is sometimes preferred over D&E in specific instances, such as when burial or an autopsy is desired.5,9,10 Overall, however, induction is less common than D&E for a variety of reasons. Perhaps most significantly, induction requires a woman to experience contractions and go through labor; in addition to the emotional toll this can take, it can also be associated with greater pain and an increased risk of complications.5 And typically, induction takes longer than D&E, is more expensive, and is performed in a hospital setting.2,5 Although a patient undergoing a second-trimester abortion may not be able to choose the method used, most women select D&E when given the option between D&E and induction in research settings.5,11
A D&E ban would compound other obstacles to abortion care. Research indicates that the vast majority of women obtaining an abortion during the second trimester would have preferred to have had it earlier.12 State abortion restrictions are one increasingly common reason women encounter delays receiving abortion care, and D&E bans must be considered in the context of such restrictions.
Restrictions that force women to delay abortion care have a disproportionate impact on low-income women, women of color and young women—which is one reason why these groups are overrepresented among women who obtain abortions during the second trimester.13 And as a woman struggles to overcome legal, financial and logistical obstacles to obtaining abortion care, the passage of time can push that care further out of reach (see chart 1). The further along a pregnancy is, the higher the cost and the fewer the providers who offer abortion services.14 A recent Guttmacher analysis found that needing financial assistance to pay for an abortion and living 25 miles or more from the facility both increased the likelihood of obtaining a second-trimester abortion.15
In addition to women who are disadvantaged in ways that limit access to services, women who receive diagnoses of fetal anomalies or maternal health complications would be disproportionately impacted by D&E bans because many of these diagnoses are received during the second trimester.
Thus, many of the women most likely to be impacted by D&E bans are already facing challenging circumstances, such as pregnancy complications or obstacles to earlier abortion care. In this way, targeting D&E could be particularly harmful as part of antiabortion activists' larger, strategic campaign to reduce access to abortion in the United States.

He also began collaborating with musicians to explore his instruments in an improvisational context. Kim now facilitates his musical and sculptural endeavors by owning and operating an architectural woodworking design/build studio in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My work as an instrument builder was born out of the necessity to create a voice for myself to articulate and to compose. My instruments are all works in progress and by treating them as such, I allow myself to constantly develop and build in an organic manner. Many of these pieces begin as individual components built as I develop solutions dealing with mechanics, playing techniques, and resonance. These components are then combined, modified, or discarded as needed.

Mexico Prepares to Receive 'Mother of Caravans' of 20,000 Migrants Heading to US

QUITO (Sputnik) - Mexico is going to receive a huge 20,000-strong caravan of migrants heading to the United States from Honduras in the coming weeks, their final goal is the United States, Mexican Interior Minister Olga Sanchez Cordero said on Thursday.
"It is already known that at least 2,400 people joined the new caravan [which is already in Mexico], and what has already been called the [20,000-strong] 'Mother of Caravans' is now being prepared in Honduras," Cordero said, as quoted by Razon news portal.
According to the minister, in general, if the current migration flow from Central America remains unchanged, the number of migrants trying to get through Mexico to the United States will reach 900,000 people by the end of 2019.

Picture from Mexico News Daily this morning, they said the mother of all migrant caravans is forming in Honduras with more than 20,000 and they expect more than 900,000 illegals from Honduras, Guatemala, & El Salvador will enter Mexico to travel to U,S. border this year. pic.twitter.com/cYYSME5IU5

In connection with the possible arrival of an unprecedentedly large migrant caravan, the Mexican authorities intend to sharply tighten control on their southern border with Guatemala and Belize. Employees of the migration service, federal police and civil defence forces will be involved in these actions.
#BORDERNEWS A new caravan of over 3,000 Central American migrants is on it's way to the U.S. from Chiapas according to Mexican news outlets. Migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, & Cuba are in the caravan. It's unclear which border they'll try to cross from. pic.twitter.com/HZcHgMDcK3

Caravans of Central American migrants began to move toward the United States through Mexico last fall. As a result, several thousand migrants who came from the countries of Central America stuck near the US-Mexican border. The US authorities deployed several thousand troops to the border to ensure security.

Brent Smith Describes New Shinedown Album as 'Controversial'
Lauryn Schaffner Published: December 13, 2021

The world has completely changed since Shinedown's most recent record Attention Attention came out in 2018. With the follow-up nearly finished, frontman Brent Smith has described the new album as "controversial" and "provocative."
"We wanted to push everything to the front. And what I mean by that is, we've proven that we can make these records that there's a lot of musicianship involved in it, and we have layered our records over the years because we love music and we love sound and we love big, epic... we try to make really cinematic records," Smith explained to New Jersey's 95.9 The Rat.
Therefore, Shinedown have experimented with things other than simple instrumentation, such as orchestration and synthesizers in the past in order to create these epic albums. But this time around, they wanted to keep it more raw.
"So the majority of this record is authentically drums, bass, guitar. There are piano songs — there's two really, really very intense-subject-matter piano songs that are gonna be in Shinedown seven," the singer continued.
"But we wanted to make a real rock record, we wanted to make a real record where we focus on just making sure that the band is being heard the way the band needs to be heard. So, not a lot of layering. It doesn't mean it's any less powerful, it's just we're not dealing with a lot of stacks."
As far as the lyrical content, Smith described the upcoming album as a "very humanitarian record" because a lot of it was written during 2020 and 2021 — two years that have changed the entire world, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the various circumstances that have surrounded it.
"We're opening up the conversation into different subject matters that Shinedown has never addressed," he admitted. "But it's a record that I think some people will consider controversial, I think some people will consider to be very provocative, especially for Shinedown, but it's also something that we feel that it is very important and that it is necessary."
The first single from Shinedown's upcoming seventh studio album is expected to come out next month. See the clips from the interview below.

Everything you need to know about the Wichita State Shockers as they begin the NCAA tournament.
The Case For: Wichita State was one of the most polarizing bubble cases, but in the end the Shockers squeaked in—albeit in a First Four matchup. That may seem like a negative, but keep in mind that since the First Four started in 2011, one of its teams each year has won at least one other game in the tournament. Wichita State is the ideal candidate to be that team this year for two key reasons: defense and experience. The Shockers have the nation's No. 1 adjusted defense and are the only team in the country holding opponents to fewer than 90 points per 100 possessions. They also have Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet: two excellent senior guards who have played in the Final Four and lead the team in scoring and assists.
The reason the Shockers were on the bubble was because of a disappointing nonconference season, but multiple injuries, including to VanVleet, kept Wichita State from being at full strength for most of its early losses. With VanVleet back, the Shockers beat Utah by 17 points in December, and the Utes are a No. 3 seed in this tournament. Wichita State knows how to win on this stage—it's won at least one game in each of the last three tourneys.
The Case Against: Remember the polarizing part of Wichita State's bubble case? Injuries hurt the Shockers early on, yes, but it remains that for the fourth time in five years they failed to win the Missouri Valley tournament. They dropped three games in conference play (including the MVC tournament) this season, and all carried a similar theme: the Shockers' brilliant defense came through (holding all three opponents under 60 points) but the offense did not. Baker and VanVleet are the only players averaging double figures, and VanVleet in particular is struggling offensively of late, failing to reach 10 points in six of his last 11 games.
Wichita State has the defense to contend with anyone, but if its offense doesn't show up in March it won't matter. The Shockers are certainly capable, but a lot will come down to the play of Baker and VanVleet. They're not a good three-point shooting team and likely aren't going to beat many teams from the perimeter, so the Shockers will need to rely on other forms of offense to keep pace.

Climate change is not always seen as a negative, at least if you listen to some increasingly animated venture capitalists weighing in over the melting of the Northern sea ice.
In February 2015, the maximum annual Arctic sea ice extent measured just 5.61 million square miles during its winter peak, the lowest level ever captured by a NASA satellite according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado, Boulder, which began keeping records in 1979. This is roughly 425,000 square miles lower than the 1979 to 2000 average of 6.12 million square miles. The satellite reading not only confirms the rapid thawing that has climate experts so up in arms, but it also represents the shift in global attention to the planet's last oceanic frontier.
The Arctic Ocean may be the world's smallest ocean, but the emerging gateway to its untapped treasures has wet the lips of international investors, including Big Oil, commercial fishing industries, and foreign governments, who see economic opportunity measuring in the billions of dollars. While devastating to the long-term health of the planet, melting Arctic ice means the opening of shipping routes and increased access to remote Arctic regions previously insulated from the rest of the world. What this may suggest is the advent of a new Arctic gold rush. Inevitably, rapid economic change and the accompanying challenges in the world's next frontier have become one of the hottest debates of the Arctic region.
But can the international community unlock the treasures of the final frontier without laying waste to the Arctic environment and local indigenous peoples of the North?
The World Economic Forum has attempted to address the growing concern for the future of the region by convening the Global Agenda Council on the Arctic. To create a better framework for international business in the Arctic at the advent of a potential developmental boon, the 22-member team unveiled last Thursday a new six-point protocol that lays out a set of principles for sustainable business practices in the region.
The aptly named Arctic Economic Protocol received its first official endorsement from Guggenheim Partners, a Chicago and New York-based global investment company with a reported $240 billion in assets.
However, the question remains whether other financial firms, industries, and foreign governments will also get on board with this sustainable investment initiative. Certainly, widespread cooperation in protecting the Arctic is desired, especially when considering the precedent set by the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, COP21, in which nearly 200 countries came to an agreement on the reduction of climate change, showing historic solidarity on the issue. The Paris Agreement will become legally binding if joined by at least 55 countries and at least 55 percent of global emissions are eliminated. That likely means that the biggest greenhouse gas emitters—China, the United States and India—will need to sign on for the agreement to go into force.
But even if consensus can be reached like that of the Paris Agreement, the guidelines of the Arctic Economic Protocol remain voluntary, drawing attention to potential fallible aspects of the initiative. Like the December climate agreement, which left certain emission targets nonbinding, the Arctic Economic Protocol has yet to lay out a specific contractual blueprint for how to direct future investment. Instead, it relies on cooperation and offers six foundational principles for the development of responsible business, governmental, and environmental practice in the region.
These new principles were drafted with input from scientific and environmental sources, as well as non-political actors such as the Arctic Business Council. The six guidelines include building resilient societies through economic development, respecting and including local indigenous communities, pursuing measures to protect the Arctic environment, practicing responsible business methods, consulting scientific and ecological knowledge, and strengthening pan-Arctic collaboration.
But building a sustainable future requires long-term capital, capital that would total an estimated $1 trillion in order to fund much-needed infrastructure projects in the North over the next 15 years, according to Guggenheim Partners. There is a devastating lack of infrastructure in the Arctic due to stymied investment in the region, meaning basic human necessities such as telecommunications, transportation, housing, education, and medical services remain deficient.
The unveiling of the development protocols is timely given the upcoming biennial Arctic Business conference to be held in Bodø, Norway in May 2016. In partnership with the Norwegian Shipowners' Association, DNV GL, Kongsberg, and Statoil, the Arctic Business Council will convene this event to coordinate conversation on the Arctic's future. The goal of the inventory and the new WEF protocols is essentially to answer the Arctic's needs and promote investment without destroying the region's environment, as has so often occurred during rapid economic development in the past. Guggenheim Partners is currently in the process of assembling an Arctic Infrastructure Inventory based on scientific research that will direct priority to infrastructure needs that are socially and environmentally sound for investment and opportunity.
Yet, even though the Global Agenda Council's protocols are ambitious and well intentioned from an investment standpoint, there are critics of the protocol. One concern is the new framework may be in direct competition with the previously adopted and newly formed Arctic Economic Forum, created during the Canadian chairmanship of the Arctic Council.
Environmentalists, including activists from Greenpeace, have also expressed concern about the lack of specific environmental regulations in the Council's framework and the foundational illegality of an Arctic gold rush. Greenpeace, among other NGOs, has promised court action to block future investors from receiving licenses for new development opportunities in the region.
With so many conflicting opinions and undecided questions, the protocol may represent just another bid to create order in what some may see as the Arctic quagmire. In this instance, we all should hope that history is not bound to repeat itself, and that the world will do right by its newest and ultimate oceanic frontier.

Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and continual investments from both public and private sectors will thereby increase the demand of telemedicine in Netherlands.
The increase in number of aging population will therefore increase the demand of telemedicine in Netherlands.
The increasing acceptance of 4G and 5G spectrum and growing acceptance of telemedicine in Netherlands will pose as an opportunity for the players in the telemedicine market.
The demand for telemedicine in Netherlands is expected to grow at a rapid pace from 2021 to 2022. In coming years, there are chances of more personalized telemedicine apps for both patients and clinicians, with the flexibility to specify the information transmitted between doctor and patient. Telemedicine app development also will give rise to mHealth, also known as mobile Health. Karify is working on its application and will be able to provide different services through it. Recently, Karify launches it new messaging app for clients. This new app helps the clients in communicating with the care providers. This application allows exchanging messages and files both individually and in group. Files of up to 250 MB can be shared through this app. The Dutch government is improving its IT policy for the healthcare sector. The government is improving the affordability, accessibility and quality by setting a foundation for an optimum and safe usage of information and communication technology (ICT). The introduction of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) with corresponding infrastructure will also aid the growth of telemedicine in Netherlands.
Many companies are making continuous efforts and are advancing their POCT devices so as to create development for in-vitro diagnostics organizations in the market. This rise in POCT devices will also help in increasing the demand of telemedicine in Netherlands as these devices help in monitoring of diseases of patients.
Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication "Netherlands Telemedicine Market Forecast to 2022 - by Services and Technology, By Clinical Applications (Tele Psychiatry, Tele Dermatology, Tele Assistance, Tele Consultation and Others)" believe Savvy patients see qualifications, such as medical board certifications, doctor background and qualification as important criteria to establish trust and select doctors. For this new entrants and the existing players can select only those doctors who have certification from European Union (2005/36/EC) and GP who are certified from Royal College of General Practitioners. This step by the company will help the patients to build trust on them and therefore it will increase the revenue of telemedicine companies.
Netherlands Telemedicine market is expected to register positive CAGR of around 19.0% during the period 2018-2022 in terms of revenue. Providing better data security and adopting different marketing techniques to creating awareness is expected to have positive impact on the overall telemedicine market.

Saralyn B. Lundy died on Thursday, March 14 from complications from Alzheimer's disease. She was surrounded by her family and we are grateful for that.
Saralyn was born and raised in Atlanta. She never lost her Southern accent no matter how far from the south she moved.
She loved her time at the University of Georgia in Athens. She was captain of the school's university drill team and active in her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. Saralyn graduated early with a degree in zoology.
Her first ambition was to be a marine biologist until she found out she would have to scuba dive. End of that plan. She then worked in a hospital lab for a year and hated that. She liked to be around people – not stuck behind a microscope.
A chance encounter at a holiday party with a sorority sister led her to the U.S. Communicable Disease Center, which is located in Atlanta. CDC had a job in the mycology (fungus) section. Unsure what that meant, Saralyn went home and looked up the definition of mycology, but she was a quick study and got the job. For seven years, she traveled the country teaching seminars for doctors and health technicians.
During that time she met her husband, Walker Lundy, before a party. She actually thought he was the gas man coming to fix something before the party started.
As he tells it, Saralyn was a 9.5 and he was at best a 4. She gave him a chance and they hit it off – going out the next 13 nights in a row. A year later, they became engaged and seven months after that were married in Atlanta. This past September marked 51 years of marriage.
Her husband's job as a journalist had them moving around a lot, living in Atlanta, Detroit, Charlotte, NC, Tallahassee, FL, Fort Worth, Texas, Little Rock, AR, St. Paul, MN and Philadelphia. They lived in Palo Alto, CA for a year when her husband attended a journalism fellowship at Stanford University.
Everywhere they moved, Saralyn "bloomed where she was planted." She made each place a loving home for her two children. Her family was the center of her life.
In Arlington, Texas in 1988, she was asked to become president of the PTA of a high school of more then 2,000 students. She proposed and led a project to sponsor an all-night after-graduation party to keep the seniors safe and sober. The PTA raised $25,000 and the event was an astonishing success. She did the same thing three years later after they moved to Little Rock. Both annual parties are still going strong thirty years later. She and husband retired in 2003 and built their dream home on a lake north of Charlotte. In 2018, they decided to move to Walnut Creek to be near their grandson, their daughter and son-in-law, who live in Richmond, CA.
While she loved her children, the true joys of her life were her two grandchildren, Lily, 9 of Houston, TX, a championship basketball player and reader, and Ben, 6, who loves animals and is the family goofball.
Saralyn's interests through her life were her children, cooking, especially Southern cooking, gardening, travel and exercise, especially swimming. She walked in Red Square and Tiananmen Square and snorkeled in the Galapagos and traveled to 20 other countries on five continents. Her favorite ship was the Queen Mary and she made several Atlantic crossings.
She saw a World Series and a Super Bowl. She met a president and Elizabeth Taylor. And she got Hillary Clinton to serve at a high school Teacher Appreciation Lunch.
Saralyn is survived by her husband, Walker Lundy, her children, Dan Lundy (Anni) of Houston, TX, and Sarah (Ryan) Cecile of Richmond, CA and grandchildren, Lily Lundy, of Houston and Ben Cecile, of Richmond.
Family and friends are invited to the funeral service on Thursday, March 21, at 11 a.m. at Arlington Memorial Park at 201 Mt. Vernon Highway in Sandy Springs, GA.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations for research to Cure Alzheimer's Fund at https://curealz.org/ or any other Alzheimer's research organization of your choice.
