You are proof that you can't out-ride a poor diet. Stress is secondary to diet as a risk factor. With your genetics, if you don't address the diet problem well, it probably won't be your last heart problem. Plus atherosclerosis usually affects your entire cardiovascular system. The heart is just one of the first places to get an issue. The one many get before that is not being able to "raise the flag".
A general health education problem is that we are taught that exercise is so good for us that it's almost considered a cure-all. So people tend to concentrate on that. When in reality diet is the most critical component in a healthy lifestyle.
Cowcorner wrote:The alarming thing is that I had pretty much no prior warning other than (possibly) a slight breathlessness when I walked up stairs. Certainly cycling was not an issue.
I've heard/read that in half of all cases, a heart attack is the first symptom.

UK aircraft manufacturer AgustaWestland has signed a £1bn contract to supply 16 rescue helicopters to the Norwegian government.
The aircraft will be assembled at AgustaWestland's factory in Yeovil. The deal also includes a 15-year training and support package.
According to Daniele Romiti, the chief executive of the Finmeccanica-owned AugustaWestland, the company's new generation AW101 is a "worthy successor" to its Sea King, which has served Norway for more than 40 years.
"We are delighted that the AW101 has been awarded the Norwegian All Weather SAR Helicopter contract following a very detailed evaluation process of all the alternatives," he said.
Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the deal, saying: "This £1bn deal between AgustaWestland and the Norwegian government is testament to the first-class engineering skills we have right across the UK, while highlighting that this Government's long-term economic plan is working."
He further highlighted the deal will safeguard over 3,000 jobs across their Yeovil plant and many more across the supply chain.
Speaking at AgustaWestland's Yeovil facility, Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "British aerospace is a major success story worth £24bn to our economy each year and employing 230,000 people across the country. The Government's industrial strategy is overseeing a £2bn investment with industry in the creation of a new Aerospace Technology Institute - to help build the leaner, greener planes of tomorrow."

Within months after popping out her new baby, Koda Kums is already releasing her next single Go to the top which is in all honesty quite average and I don't quite like it.
The PV is also meh but it's not like I'm expecting her to immediately go in front of the camera to twerk her ass but ok I'll take it either way. I like how they decided to "announce" an upcoming winter ballad single coming in December because 10 years later when we all watch this again we'll totally still think that there's a new single coming. Meanwhile all I see in the PV is boobs, boobs, and boobs. It's like that one anime I watched where everyone had really huge boobs that I think that pretty much ended up being the plot of the anime.

Talks of housing finance reform are gaining momentum in Washington D.C. as lawmakers craft policies to set the mortgage market on a new course, The Hill reports.
Meanwhile, the Bipartisan Policy Center's Housing Commission has introduced a plan to wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the article explained.
Additionally, the article said the introduction of the "Jumpstart GSE Reform Act," draft legislation showed the government's interest in the importance of designing a new architecture for our nation's housing finance system.
So let us hope we are indeed witnessing a "momentum shift" moment in the housing finance reform debate. The clock is ticking, and it is time to create a new system that can support the mortgage credit needs of America's working families today and well into the future.

An acclaimed historian gives her take on some of the important people who have shaped the present world.
In this compendium of the 2015 Massey Lectures, MacMillan (International History/Oxford Univ.; The War that Ended Peace: The Road to 1914, 2013, etc.) analyzes a variety of historical global leaders—e.g., Otto von Bismarck and Franklin Roosevelt—and gives snippets of their early lives and the ways their upbringings influenced their decisions. She studies the human trait of hubris and how people such as Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Margaret Thatcher were victims of their own arrogance. The author commemorates adventurers and explorers, as well as those willing to go out on a limb, for their daring and bravado. She discusses Richard Nixon and his start of a relationship with China and Samuel de Champlain, who bravely crossed the Atlantic nearly 30 times in his quest to explore the coast of North America and the St. Lawrence River. MacMillan also considers the roles women played as they accompanied their husbands to North America and India or set out on their own to places like Albania. The author adeptly navigates a host of personal journals and diaries, which have given modern historians fresh insight into the everyday comings and goings of ordinary people. Without these writings, we would not be able to fully comprehend certain historic moments—e.g., the years leading up to and through World War II as seen through the eyes of a German Jew. Although some of the people MacMillan has chosen are not well-known, their accomplishments are no less important than those well-recognized by first or last name. Her prose is succinct and informative, and even when her transitions from one person to another are not the smoothest, the information imparted is solid.
A concise, educational overview of some of the men and women who have carved out spots in the annals of history and why they should be remembered. Fans of the author are in for another treat.

I have been meaning to blog for some time now.
I really have.
But every time I decide to open my blog up to tap away at my keys…Jeremiah demands my attention. He's a cheeky fella, and loves the faces Mommy makes. I think he secretly love his Mommy's kisses too, even though he makes funny faces when I do!
I'm enjoying my time with him, seeing his faces, getting to know his little personality. I can't wait to see what sticks around and see how opinionated he will be. Because, as my son, I'm 100% sure he will be full of thoughts and opinions on everything. 🙂
Doesn't he look like he's got something to say, already?! 🙂
I do have more to say, but I am being summoned by J!!

Needs - A bench grinder or rotary tool with a sharpening attachment. A bench vise. A flat Mill Bastard file. Appropriate safety gear as detailed in the article.
1. Adjust The Bench Grinder Rest to thirty degrees
or to match the current bevel on the dull blade. If you are mowing
extra-short or golfing type grass you can use a bevel between ten and
twenty-five degrees but the lawn mower blade will dull quicker.
2. Draw the blade across the face of the grind stone at a thirty degree angle. The important part of this step is to move the blade at a uniform speed across the stone. Leather gloves and eye protection are a must for this step.
3. Next you will set the blade on the work table with the beveled side facing down. Then secure it using two sided tape.
4. Now, with the file, remove the burr from the edge of the non-beveled side of the blade. When this burr is gone, your blade will be very sharp. Don't take off the gloves yet.
5. Put the blade back on the lawn mower. Be careful handling a sharp blade and take care to put back on with the bevel properly faced. Now it's time to mow the lawn.
6. Attach the sharpening adapter to the rotary tool. Be sure the connection is clean and tight. Continue to wear gloves and eye protection.
7. Place the dull blade in the vise. Face the bevel so that the sharpener attachment will engage the dull edge.
8. Using the attachment as a guide, sharpen the blade. As with step one, smooth steady strokes are best.
9. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5.
Thanks for reading. Votes and Comments are always welcomed.

Meeting Procedures and Other Announcements
The meeting was quorate.
March 2016 Minutes and April 2016 Minutes were approved and posted.
June 2016 minutes were approved to be posted before August 1.
2016 Members' Meeting and Conference Update (MM)
Conference Program
The conference program is nearly set. Need to assign moderators. Perhaps best to wait until we know who is attending.
Scheduling the Board Meeting
Ideally, we would like some overlap with Council meeting, which will be held all day on Sunday and Monday and half day Tuesday.
- There will be a memorial event in honor of Sebastian Rahtz in Oxford on 27 September. Because James Cummings will be at the Council meeting, PW will be attending the service to represent DHOxSS. It is hoped there will be an opportunity for James and others to join remotely. Others welcome.
- JU will be attending ACRL in Washington, D.C. on 27 & 28 September. Possibly Skype in to deliver budget report. (With backup recording ahead of time.)
Board to meet for half day on Tuesday. Council in morning, joint lunch, with a half or three-quarters of an hour on either side to fine tune Whither TEI discussion. Board to meet in the afternoon. Action Item: MM to schedule meeting space for Board Meeting on Tuesday, September 27.
Problematic Copyright Statement in ConfTool
Reviewed latest reply to our proposed revisions to the copyright statement from Claudia. We agree with Claudia's proposal to have everyone accept the current statement, followed by an email from the Chair to TEI-L about implicit agreement to publish abstracts in conference materials with authors maintaining rights. The Local Hosts will contact the authors about assigning a CC-BY license. Action Item: KH, MD and Claudia will work on this.
"Whither TEI?" Session
Will be final plenary between 1:30 and 4:30 on Friday. Council will take charge of the program and will serve as facilitators of this session. There was some discussion of where MM's position paper fits in here. Council has talked about posing questions to audience; make the session a discussion. We will use the TEI list for seeding the discussion and capture responses to the wiki.
Election Update for 2017 (Pip)
PW outlined procedure and results:
- 5 open places for the TAPAS board, 8 standing
- 5 open places for the Technical Council, 8 standing
- 2 open places for the Board, 2 standing [Note: There are 3 open places on the Board, not 2 as reported in the call. This error was picked up shortly after the call, and email discussion ensued about ways to get sufficient accepted nominations.]
What would be the procedure in this case? Possibility of adding a write-in line, if the voting software, OpaVote, allows for it; do the same for TAPAS and Council, though this brings potential issues of not having been asked to stand.
Voting to open 22 August

TAPAS Update (MD)
Reporting Requirements
MD was contacted by Julia Flanders (JF) about TAPAS reporting requirements for this year.
How to track TEI-C members using TAPAS in Wild Apricot? Is there a TAPAS-specific membership category that can be used for reporting?
JU reminds us that TEI-C membership is a requirement for using TAPAS so the question is: how many active members does TAPAS have?
TAPAS-led survey for reporting use/impact
TAPAS-led Survey for Reporting Use/Impact
JF planning Survey TEI Community about value and use of TAPAS–solicits questions from Board if we have any particular questions
- What is TAPAS delivering proportional to investment (Equivalent to question of how many active users)
- Do you consider a valuable member benefit?
- Did you join the TEI because of TAPAS?
MD to Skype in with JF in mid-August with summary of discussion.
Please post to list asap with additional questions.
Proposal for Community Development of a TEI-Aware XML Editor for Teaching (MB & HC)
See Compelling TEI-L Discussion for the Need of Lightweight XML Editor for Teaching the TEI
How can we incentivize this work? Commission, as part of the Rahtz Award, some other way?
Discussion of Elena Gonzales-Blanco's web-based TEI Scribe–was posted to list in alpha release
JEdit being investigated; TEI Scribe as well;
A training SIG probably premature; education SIG is inactive; probably orthogonal to Q of what it would take to produce a free TEI editor;
Good idea not to make it too big a project; start hands-on; commission a study; 1,000 – 2,000 dollars or Euros–try to find someone actually looking into this; with conclusion that if it isn't possible to get more than 60% of features….
MD to continue discussion over email
Administrative Tasks for Outsourcing (Michelle)
See wiki document.
KH has added some comments.

In a town previously known for the quality of drinking water in its wells, residents had no objections last week to taking a more proactive stance to preserve and improve water quality in Wayland.
In a town previously known for the quality of drinking water in its wells, residents had no objections last week to taking a more proactive stance to preserve and improve water quality in Wayland.
The last, but according to citizen petitioners, not least important article on the April 29 annual Town Meeting warrant was a resolution to proactively protect Wayland's drinking water.
Titled "A resolution to protect Wayland drinking water, it passed unanimously after lead petitioner Linda Segal presented it to voters as a non-binding resolution to make sure the town vigilantly protects the quality of drinking water.
"This resolution seeks to prompt a proactive rather than reactive approach to water resource protection," said Segal at Town Meeting.
Overall, the resolution seeks to encourage complying with a 2002 Surface Water Assessment Report (SWAP) from the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The SWAP report makes recommendations such as the town taking inventory of land uses near wells, keeping areas near wells clean, and teaching residents to use water instead of chemicals when landscaping.
"The resolution embodied within the article makes a statement that we are concerned about our (drinking) water supply and that we are going to make a concerted effort to protect it going forward," said Selectman Alan Reiss "The article affirms our respect for our water supply. It provides a framework for education, awareness and behavior."
Joel Goodmonson, chairman of the Board of Water Commissioners, said his board voted 2-1 in favor of supporting the vote on the article at Town Meeting, and with the vote at Town Meeting, the Board of Water Commissioners now supports the article.
Water Commissioner Ed Lewis was the lone vote of opposition.
The Finance Committee voted 3-3 on the article.
Of particular interest in the resolution is an area within a 400-foot "Zone 1" radius of the eight wells in town, including the twin Happy Hollow wells behind Wayland High School.
The Happy Hollow Wells are 200 feet end to end, located north and adjacent to the MWRA aqueduct, and pump nearly half of the town's entire drinking water supply.
Despite letters from DEP engineer James Dillon to Wayland officials in February listing seven conditions near the Happy Hollow wells that need to be improved by June 1, Segal said the resolution to protect those wells is not redundant.
"This resolution remains relevant because we have six other wells besides the two Happy Hollow, and Zone I issues are different for each of them," said Segal. "With three DEP enforcement letters in the last three months, how can we justify waiting for the next violation letter before we take meaningful preventative action."
Petitioners contend that the Happy Hollow well could be better maintained.
The article also calls for the creation of a Water Department action plan and timeline to implement DEP recommendations for all wells in town.
