I think I had a very similar prescription to you. I had lasik and WOW. Best thing I ever did. Do it, do it, do it. It's worth every penny.
Your eyes might be too bad for lasik, mine were and I got sick of wearing contacts every day for 25 years. I got something called ICL. Look into it, it's like cataract surgery, but they place a tiny tiny contact - lens like thing in front of your lens. It's pricier than lasik, but they don't mess with or cut into any eye tissue. It's about 15 minute procedure per eye. Best investment I ever made!
I just bought a bag of those Nutella stuffed M & Ms. This may not end well. And I also may buy about 20 more bags.
I've decided that I am going to get LASIK. Or at least get a consultation and see if I'm a good candidate. I HATE that I'm basically blind without my contacts. My prescription is 20/450, so it would help a LOT.
The only reason I knew who he was is because I have a 17yo who's into rap.
Another successful group ride! We had about 55 riders....man, I'm still energized, but body feels beyond tired!
My ibs has been awful lately and nothing has helped. My gut has been so inflamed that even eliminating certain foods hasn't helped with the bloating. I finally found a recipe for something called gut repair soup and it's one of the only things I've eaten for the last three days. Pain, bloating, and gas are GONE. Praise baby Jesus. Now I can start experimenting with elimination/fodmap diet.
He was a pretty major figure in the black community. If you're not into rap, or things that are being done to bring positive change to the black community, it's not a surprise that you don't know about him. Most white people don't know who he was and how much influence he had because of all he did. Google him.
I made onion fritters last week! LOL! Small world. And I bet they'd be awesome with shrimp or something in them.
I've read a lot on how processed food is essentially responsible for obesity. Humans are designed to eat until we are full, so when we eat processed food it has artificially more calories per pound than real food. I also have an issue with bingeing and the only way I get around it is to let myself binge on fruit and veggies. I don't blame people at all for lack of willpower or laziness when it comes to obesity--we're in an environment where all the food is artificially way too rich for our systems.


When it comes to the world of returns management, return labels are a big point of debate. Some major entities in the shipping and returns world preach including a return label with every single customer order, while others are supporters of being far more selective with this process.
At ReverseLogix, we can help with these kinds of questions. Our reverse logistics service includes a full look at which sorts of processes are benefitting and hurting your business, then making tweaks to improve things. In part one of our two-part blog series, let's look at a few of the general issues that might come up with including returns labels in every package.
One of the primary entities loudly on the side of including returns labels with every package is UPS, which says that including labels with every order is a great way to streamline the returns process for retailers and customers alike. Unfortunately, this is pretty much patently untrue.
Unless you're a specific subscription-based retailer, this is actually one of the slowest ways to manage returns processes. Unfortunately, this is a disconnect between UPS being a shipping provider, and not a retailer – they don't know that this tactic comes with zero insight into the actual volume of returns, much less the reasons behind these returns. They're looking to give retailers a shortcut, but what they're actually doing is reducing a hugely important part of the returns process.
Most retailers simply do not have the processes set up to collect returns data when the product is sent back to a warehouse or fulfillment center. The returns data they do collect is via manual spreadsheets, which take a long time. Retailers need as much data as possible on returns, and they need it as quickly as possible. Simply including returns labeling in every single package defeats the entire purpose of data collection.

Firm raises funds with flip-flop day
FUNDRAISING is taking place across Gwent for our 125 Appeal.
One company that decided to get into the mood for summer and get out their flip-flops was Henry Howard Finance Group in Langstone, Newport.
The sun might have taken a break to make way for some rain, but that didn't dampen the mood at the finance providers' flip-flop Friday event.
Maria Ross, group marketing manager, said: "We thought it was a good cause, and we support a lot of local charities and there were a lot of willing people that wanted to take part.
"We would do quite a few bake-offs, sponsored walks and sporting events. We have dress down Friday anyway, so it was easy for people to add a pair of flip-flops to their outfit."
The South Wales Argus team also got their flip-flops on to raise some money for the appeal which goes towards supporting the work of St David's Hospice Care, the UK's largest provider of hospice at home care.
The hospice, which is based in Newport, works alongside patients to support them at the most difficult times of their lives.
Staff at the Newport Newquest offices, where the South Wales Argus is based, also took part in a raffle that included a range of prizes including a donation from local fish and chips shop Sheppards Fish Bar in Maesglas.
Over £160 was raised on the day by staff who took part in the raffle and those that made donations to wear their flip-flops to work for the day.
South Wales Argus editor Nicole Garnon said: "We wanted to do something fun to raise money for the appeal. This is the first of many fundraising activities we will be doing. Several staff took part and we had some great prizes in the raffle. We look forward to raising more money.
We are recruiting people from all over the region to take part in this special appeal that will help the St David's Hospice Care.
We are especially looking for fundraising ideas along the 125 theme. You could dance for 125 minutes, do 125 star jumps – we welcome all your fundraising ideas.

Common Practice
Picture the Multitude
ks Tuesday February 24th, 2015 Monday January 25th, 2016
picture the multitude folder – pdf
Piazza Navona Mi. 29. Okt 2008 & Di. 16. März 2010
The "Picture the Multitude" series shows groups of people in urban public space. The term "multitude" identifies a multitude, which as a multifaceted network of relationships distinguishes itself from a shapeless and shapeable mass. The term addresses the diversity and variability that cannot be subsumed under a standardizing representation. (cf. Robert Foltin 2004, Und wir bewegen uns doch / Soziale Bewegungen in Österreich, p. 12).
The "people/folk" or the classes are assumed, on the contrary, to have a uniform will that has also been and still is often staged in a propagandistic way. "Traditional ways of depicting the "people" or the masses have shaped a visual language in which singularities are generally represented as faceless groups, as living ornament.
"Picture the Multitude" is a visual approach to the term "multitude." In order to make diversity visible, a form of depiction has been developed that does justice to the web of relations rather than allowing the singularities to degenerate into an ornamental mass pulp. A central perspective is shattered through the conceptual departure from photographic and cinematic techniques. Details, movements, and the course of time thus become comprehensible while simultaneously yielding a sprawling view of the architecture.
The working process commences from video recordings that follow a strict pattern, scanning a selected site over the course of several hours or even days. Freeze frames are taken from the thousands of chronologically recorded 30-second-long video recordings and are then joined together in an elaborate digital process. The pictures are made up of roughly four thousand carefully selected 13 x 18 cm individual images, which are digitally assembled to large formats. The series is conceived as a stock taking of architecture's influence on individuals' and masses' performance in public space. Likewise represented is two-dimensional media's failure in terms of space and time.
The images that arise are both dynamic and intimate; countless fragmented gestures, faces, body parts, and details of everyday moments merge. The architecture professes the structure, people and moving parts surface shadow-like, growing together with one another and the still elements of the environment.

MS Paint will remain in Windows 10 after all
Home>News>MS Paint will remain in Windows 10 after all
Paint was never meant to be a pro-level graphics editor. Still, it became one of the most used applications in early versions of Windows and introduced million to painting on a computer. Its sentimental value, then, can't be understated and may very well be why Microsoft decided to leave it in Windows 10 for now.
One of Microsoft's most iconic applications won't be removed from Windows 10 after all… at least, not anytime soon.
In July 2017, Microsoft announced plans to pull the Paint app from Windows 10 and place it in the Windows Store as a standalone app. Paint was introduced in the very first version of Windows back in 1985 and was updated over the years as new versions of Windows were launched.
Brandon LeBlanc, a senior program manager on the Windows Insider Team, confirmed on Twitter that MS Paint will be included in update 1903 and will remain in Windows 10 for the foreseeable future.
User response to the decision appears to be mixed. While some are applauding Microsoft's move, others feel the Redmond tech giant should strip "every bit of unnecessary old junk" out of the operating system to make it as slim and refined as possible.

My Double Life: the autobiography of Sarah Bernhardt
Author: Sarah Bernhardt Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: December 2017
Sarah Bernhardt embodied--and indeed, in many ways, invented--the persona of the superstar actress. During her life and after her death, she was constantly the center of a swirl of drama, attention, controversy and emotional display, both on and off the stage--and she did everything she could to keep the swirl swirling, fanning the winds and the breezes in all possible ways. The one thing that cannot be denied about her is her extraordinary ability as an actress. Even George Bernard Shaw, who despised the florid, romantic, highly emotional style of Bernhardt and her contemporaries, admitted her power to hold the audience. For him, despite his antipathy toward her style, she still had the power of "making you admire her, pity her, champion her, weep with her, laugh at her jokes, follow her fortunes breathlessly and applaud her wildly when the curtain falls...." In 1907, at the age of 63, with many, many highly successful performances--both on and off the stage--behind her, she wrote this autobiography. In it, she shares her stories, her feelings, and even her fantasies, which do sometimes replace her memories, vividly and with great personal presence. She wrote in French and this English text was published at the same time. She intended to write a second volume, but never did so. The English text is by an anonymous translator|it was probably done in a hurry and has its faults, but it is the translation published in Bernhardt's lifetime. It is a book that takes us back to a time when live theatre was the dominant mass medium of the entire world|when a woman performing French plays in French commanded English- and Spanish-speaking audiences around the globe|when there was a unanimity of spirit and taste between playwrights, actors and audiences utterly lacking in our modern world. Enjoy! A Freshwater Seas production.
Economic Consequences of the Peace
Author: John Maynard Keynes Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: December 2017
John Maynard Keynes died in 1946, but his name is still one to conjure with in economics and politics worldwide. Although his contributions to economic theory established and maintain his fame, he also--particularly at the time in his life when he wrote the present book, Economic Consequences of the Peace--showed a flair for practical political work on the basis of economics in his work with the Royal Commission on Indian Currency and Finance. At the outbreak of World War I, he began working with the British Treasury|in January 1915 he took up an official position there. At the end of the war he was appointed as the British Treasury's representative to the Versailles Peace Conference. His experiences at the Conference formed the basis of this book. In short, he was so disgusted with the resulting treaty that he resigned his post. This is not a theoretical text. It is a data-driven study of the consequences that must follow if the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles were put into full effect. To the extent that they were|Keynes was largely proven right|to the extent that they were ignored, delayed, or abrogated altogether, Keynes was also proven right: such measures were never put in practice because they were impossible. Beyond pratical economics and politics, his book is also a clear call for intelligent magnanimity in politics, both in peace and in war. His vision is of a world at peace in which the prosperity of each nation contributes to the prosperity of all people. He clearly demonstrates the practical working of that vision in his analysis of the disasters that would happen if the effort to rebuild war-torn Europe proceeded on a punitive basis versus the positive results of proceeding on a basis not of enmity, but of equity. In order to avoid forcing the reader to listen to long recitations of numeric tables, there are small abridgements at a few points in the book. However, no substantial text has been removed and Keynes' arguments and methods of analysis remain intact. This is economics|there are some places where the numerical facts get a little dense, but Keynes succeeds in keeping his argument clear even when the going gets heavy. Enjoy! A Freshwater Seas production.
Walden, or Life in the Woods
Author: Henry David Thoreau Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: November 2017
Noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days chronicling his near-isolation in the small cabin he built in the woods near Walden Pond on land owned by his mentor, the father of Transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Immersing himself in nature and solitude, Thoreau sought to develop a greater understanding of society amidst a life of self-reliance and simplicity. Originally published in 1854, Walden remains one of the most celebrated works in American literature. This version of Walden, or Life in the Wood was recorded as part of Walden and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.
On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
First published in 1849, this essay argues that individuals have rights and duties in relation to their government. Motivated by his disgust over both slavery and the Mexican-American War, Thoreau argued that individuals must not permit nor enable their government to act against their own consciences. This version of On the Duty of Civil Disobedience was recorded as part of Dreamscape's Walden and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.
The Frontier in American History
Author: Frederick Jackson Turner Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: September 2017
Frederick Jackson Turner was the dean of American historians in his time. He originated, and he and his students popularized, the Frontier Hypothesis of American history: that the primary driving force in the development of American society and politics was the encounter with the frontier, conceived of as a vast area of essentially free land, a seemingly limitless resource available to all comers. This book, The Frontier in American History, is a collection of essays Turner wrote between the 1890's and 1918--itself a highly dynamic time in American history, a point which he addresses from the perspective of his ideas about the frontier in numerous ways. As all books must do, Turner's writing shows the influence of his time. He pays virtually no attention to the oppression inflicted upon Native Americans, and despite giving considerable time to the interaction of the development of the frontier with the issue of slavery, he gives very little space to the consideration of slavery itself. This should be no cause for surprise; he is, if anything, somewhat better on these issues than many intellectuals of his time. The value of his book--and it is a very valuable work--lies in his ability to synthesize the great migratory movement of Europeans and Americans westward across the North American continent into a coherent view of the nature of that movement, the ways in which the peoples involved changed in response to it, and the effects it had on the long-term development of the United States. The processes he describes have not ended. We are still dealing with the effects of our long engagement with the frontier in many ways. Enjoy! A Freshwater Seas production.
A Preface to Politics
Author: Walter Lippmann Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: August 2017
Walter Lippmann still stands today as one of the foremost figures of American political journalism, social commentary, and cultural criticism. At the age of 24, he published A Preface to Politics; that same year, along with Herbert Croly and Walter Weyl, he founded The New Republic magazine. In short, he burst upon the scene. He went on to become an advisor to Woodrow Wilson and was involved in drafting Wilson's famous "Fourteen Points." He won the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964, the Pulitzer Prise in 1958 and again in 1961. The fundamental message of A Preface to Politics is that statesmanship cannot succeed if it focuses merely on the forms and mechanics of government and the technical development and administration of policy. Political leadership can only be successful if political leaders attune themselves to the human beings they lead, keeping themselves abreast of their wants and needs and the social and cultural movements among them. No political mechanism can function without intelligent, perceptive, and responsive people to make it work. It is startling to see how relevant, indeed important, Lippmann's message still is, over a century after it was written. In our day as in his, deliberate lies and deception is the rule in the highest offices of our government. He saw the same fundamental corruption at work in our national politics as still pollutes it today. Then, as now, he emphasizes the vital importance of informal leadership exercised by educated, informed, energetic people who function as activists and visionaries in the endless process of maintaining a responsive society and government. Over and over again, Lippmann's message will make us open our eyes to what is still critically important. Enjoy!
The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: April 2017
Imagine a boarding-house in the days when the Civil War was still a decade in the future, in which an erudite, polished, witty, sophisticated, learned gentleman holds forth each day at breakfast, entertaining the boarders with fascinating talk: observations on people and nature, occasional flights of verse, remarks on current events, moralizations and philosophical thoughts, and anything else that comes to his mind. Imagine a boarding-house full of people putting up with such a man, and even liking and respecting him! There you have it: the Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, as imagined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., father of the famous Supreme Court justice, dean of the Harvard Medical School, lecturer, writer, poet, co-founder of the The Atlantic Magazine, and as charming a conversationalist as one would care to meet--provided, of course, you don't interrupt him! And yet, for all his powers of mind, he is very human as well; there is one of the lady boarders, a certain schoolmistress--keep an eye on her! As if the charm, grace, and variety of this man's mind were not enough, the book also gives us a fascinating picture of life in the United States, specifically in Boston, over 150 years ago. The manners, morals, opinions, thoughts and dreams of Americans of that time are fascinating, both in their similarities and differences to our own, and in the ways in which the unspoken assumptions that underlie so much of who we are have changed and yet remain recognizeable. There are two or three passages in which the unquestioned, indeed almost unexamined, racism of the day does appear. We do well to remember that some of our greatest minds have thought and spoken in that way. For that reason, those expressions remain as Holmes wrote them in 1857. A Freshwater Seas production.
The Life of Napoleon: Volume 6
Author: William Hazlitt Narrator: Robert Bethune Release Date: November 2016
William Hazlitt is one of the foremost writers of the English language. His fame as a critic, essayist and social commentator ranks with the likes of Samuel Johnson and George Orwell. He considered his justly famous Life of Napoleon as his most important work. In this, the sixth volume of the work, William Hazlitt takes us through his fall from power. He shows us how the situation of Europe at that time: England controlling the sea, England, Austria, Russia and Prussia massed on the borders of France, ready to consummate their twenty-five year struggle to restore the Bourbon monarchy. Nor were these the only enemies confronting Napoleon. Many of his own countrymen were ready to turn their backs on him, now that his aura of invincibility was at an end, destroyed by the disastrous campaign in Russia and further defeats in Europe. Hazlitt brings us to the great climax of the tragedy, the battle of Waterloo, and then follows Napoleon as he casts himself on the mercy of the English and finds himself transported to St. Helena. Hazlitt was a life-long admirer of Napoleon and of the French Revolution, but his admiration was not blind. His analysis is both passionate and clear-sighted. At this stage in Napoleon's career, he focuses more on the great events, less on the man and his mind. It is an appropriate focus; at this stage in his life, Napoleon's whole existence was wrapped up in those great events, his personal life was submerged in them. Hazlitt sometimes transcends and sometimes falls victim to the prevailing attitudes of his day. His thinking sometimes juxtaposes highly progressive ideas with casual bigotry. His text has been left as he wrote it; it is valuable to hear and remember that even great minds have held ideas we prefer to think we have overcome. The Life of Napoleon was originally published in four volumes in 1828-1830, not long before Hazlitt's death. It was later republished in a limited edition of six volumes by the Grolier Society. This audiobook is based on that edition.of Napoleon as his most important work. William Hazlitt is one of the foremost writers of the English language. His fame as a critic, essayist and social commentator ranks with the likes of Samuel Johnson and George Orwell. He considered his justly famous Life of Napoleon as his most important work. In this, the fifth volume of the work, William Hazlitt takes us through Napoleon's captivity on the island of St. Helena, his decline and his death. Napoleon is no longer involved in the great affairs of France and Europe, which gives Hazlitt the opportunity to focus as never before on Napoleon the man. We see the Emperor who once battled the combined nations of Europe engaged in constant war against the petty tyranny of the English governor of the island while preparing his memoirs and longing for his family, who were never allowed to visit him. In the end, death claims him. Hazlitt was a life-long admirer of Napoleon and of the French Revolution, but his admiration was not blind. His analysis is both passionate and clear-sighted.

William Hazlitt is one of the foremost writers of the English language. His fame as a critic, essayist and social commentator ranks with the likes of Samuel Johnson and George Orwell. He considered his justly famous Life of Napoleon as his most important work. In this, the second volume of the work, William Hazlitt takes us through the history of Napoleon's campaigns in Italy and Egypt. In the course of these campaigns, and in Napoleon's life in Paris between them, we can see a young, brilliant military leader starting to transform himself from a leader of armies into a leader of nations. His brillian successes on the battlefield bring him to the adoring attention of the French people and the rather alarmed attention of the French government. The Directory finds him to be a very valuable asset and a substantial threat, both at the same time. Hazlitt was a life-long admirer of Napoleon and of the French Revolution, but his admiration was not blind. His analysis is both passionate and clear-sighted.

English Montreal School Board
The Quebec education system comprises four levels: preschool and elementary education, secondary education (high school, adult academic and vocational training), college education (pre-university and technical programs) and university education. Approximately 1.8 million people attend the education system either part-time or full-time.
Elementary & Secondary Education
Elementary school education begins in Kindergarten at the age of 5 and covers a period of seven or eight years (age 5 to 12). Some elementary schools may also offer Pre-Kindergarten which begins at age 4. The elementary program is divided into four Cycles with two grade levels in each Cycle:
Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten
Secondary school education covers a 5 year period (age 12 to 17) and begins in Secondary I (grade 7). The secondary program is divided into two cycles:
Secondary I and II (Grades 7,8)
Secondary III to V (Grades 9,10,11)
Successful completion of the general secondary program is recognized by the Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES - Diploma of Secondary Studies). The DES gives access to the first level of higher education, which is provided by a type of institution unique to Québec, i.e. the Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel (or CEGEP).
Adult & Vocational Education
Individuals aged 16 or older may be eligible for general education courses such as language classes, basic or advanced secondary level courses.
Vocational education programs prepare adult students to enter the workforce by teaching a trade. Such training is recognized by the Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP - Diploma of Vocational Studies).
The Role of the School Board
School boards are local democratic institutions that oversee preschool, elementary, secondary, adult academic and vocational training for both youth and adults on their assigned territory. Each school board in Quebec is governed by a council of commissioners all of whom are publicly elected through general elections which take place every four years.
Along with educating the population, their task also involves offering a variety of services to the community. They carry out a mission of prime importance, one which lies at the very heart of any community's development.
There are a total of nine English public school boards in Quebec. Other boards in the greater Montreal area are; Lester B. Pearson School Board (West Island), Riverside School Board (South Shore) and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board (Laval). For a full list of Anglophone school boards in Quebec, please visit the Quebec English School Boards Association (QESBA) website.
The Role of the Ministry
The Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur (MEES) is a ministry under the Provincial government whose mandate is to implement the provisions of the Education Act which governs the rights and obligations of students, teachers, schools and school boards in Quebec.
The MEES is the author of the Quebec Education Program (QEP) that all elementary and secondary schools use to provide an active and successful learning environment for our students. The QEP is a tool that teachers use every day to carry out their tasks. It is also an essential guide for school administration, staff and governing boards.
Quebec Education Program
The Quebec Education Program (QEP) is designed to provide a common-core basic education, and hinges on the development of competencies by students, with the goal of using knowledge effectively in carrying out tasks and real-life activities. The QEP enables schools to help students deal with social change and participate actively in their learning.

Planned coal exports add up to a big, honking pile of coal.
How much is 48 million tons of coal?
It's not an academic question. If big coal companies get their way, that's how much coal will be shipped through Seattle, up to an export terminal north of Bellingham, and then on to Asian markets each year.
A single ton is easy enough to visualize: it's 40 cubic feet, or a stack that's 2 feet on a side and as high as the rim of a basketball hoop. But 48 million tons is tough to visualize without some context, and a little math.
In short, 48 million tons makes a great, big, ginormous pile of coal. A pile nearly 1,000 feet high, and more than half a mile in diameter. A pile that would bury a huge part of downtown Seattle—stretching from Pike Place Market in the north to the Smith Tower in the south. A pile that just happens to be be a bit taller than Seattle's tallest skyscraper.
It's a monstrous amount of coal. Each year. And when burned, that much coal releases a tsunami of greenhouse emissions and other pollutants into the atmosphere.
Of course, nobody is suggesting that all of that coal would actually be piled up at the Cherry Point terminal at one time. Instead it would be shipped out, one boatload at a time, past the San Juans, across the Pacific, to an import terminal in China (or perhaps Korea or Japan) and then transported to a coal fired power plant. And when burned, we'd get some of the resulting pollution coming right back here, in the form of mercury and soot emissions that can make the trans-oceanic trek on easterly air currents. Not to mention the CO2 emissions that warm the global climate. With coal exports, Seattle gets traffic delays, coal dust, long-distance air pollution, and climate change, with literally no upside.
If that sort of thing makes you miffed, you might want to consider coming out to say something at one of the public hearings. If you plan to attend the Seattle hearing, the time and date have changed—apparently because there's been so much opposition to the proposal at other hearings that they needed a bigger venue.
Infographics by goodmeasures.biz. Thanks, Devin!
Think you've got time to whip up a similar one for those of us who know the Portland skyline better?
I'll look into it. It does take a while. And the 48 Million tons figure is relevant to Seattle (and in particular, the Seattle hearings on the Cherry Point export terminal), since that's how much coal will go through downtown Seattle. But some other number might be more appropriate for the Portland metro area. Under current plans, and combining all the export proposals on the table right now, far less than 48 M tons would go through Portland proper, but much more than would pass through the metro area as a whole, combining rail & barge, and both north and south of the Columbia.
Regardless, that coal pile would positively dwarf Portland's buildings. Wikipedia tells me that the tallest building in downtown Portland is ~400 feet shorter than Seattle's tallest, the Columbia tower. Tall buildings in Portland are more on the scale of the Smith Tower, the rightmost building in both of those graphics.
I vote for the first graphic, though I like them both. With the second one, I find I'm trying to hold too many images in my head at once, trying to picture the height of the buildings, then Seattle's geography, and I get distracted.
Also, and this is a bit goofy, but is this pile a big cone shape? It's not like a pyramid or something, right? I might add a reference to the 3-D shape so people aren't imagining a flat triangle of coal (and I know you call it a pile but it could be helpful to spell it out a little more).
Yep, it's a big cone. I suppose at the very tippy top it would be a bit rounded. Thanks for the feedback!
The second graphic works better, the first one makes it seem like the pile will stretch from the space needle, all the way to downtown.
That's actually my feeling, LF! But from other comments, not just on this thread, I think we're in the minority.
Visually, I like the instant appeal of the first graphic. But I keep wondering where the Pike Place Market fits in, because you mention the Market in your description.
The second graphic includes the Pike Place Market, but then the Space Needle is so far away it loses its impact.
Maybe you could include a third graphic that just shows the Space Needle — completely buried in the middle of all that coal. The Needle is such a Seattle icon, it could have a huge visual impact!
My Bellingham coal scoping comment (2012OCT27) was about cumulative and comprehensive coal impacts over the useful life of the Cherry Point action, say 25 to 35 years. Billion of total tons of coal, and billions of tons GHG. Can anyone run with this and help us visualize the lifetime impacts of a political pro coal decision today? And then combine all the North West coal actions proposed. Thanks.
For those of you familiar with the Paris skyline (who's not?), 48 million tons of coal per year corresponds to an Eiffel Tower's worth passing through Seattle (or Bellingham or Marysville, or …) EVERY OTHER HOUR. Think about it.
Isn't Portland on the opposite side of the river that the coal trains are on?? Yep it is I work for the railroad on the Oregon side and we don't run any coal trains, so explain to me how this effects the Portland area again?? I like the little visual thing, to bad he's blowing it out of proportion, there will never be that kind of coal on the ground, and do you people have a clue how much coal has already gone through Seattle??
Coal trains serving Kinder Morgan's planned facility at Port Westward (30 million tons) and the planned facility at Coos Bay (perhaps 10 million tons) would travel through Portland.
Question: A lot of the pro-coal train folks at the Spokane hearing refuted the idea that 60 additional trains could even fit through Spokane based purely on rail capacity. I'd be curious to know your thoughts on that figure, if it's an unreasonable request by the coal companies of if maybe the train conductors and engineers I talked to are mistaken.

HAMSON-LANE Family History
A journey of discovery ..... from whence we came
HAMSON
FIELDER
Herbert Alfred Lane (1892-1966)
Father of Henry Austin Lane - Generation 2.

Lane Family, 1940
Herbert and Ellen, 1946
Lane Home Page
Ellen Background
At the time of his birth, Herbert's family was living in Dorking, Surrey, a market town located 29 miles (47 kilometers) south west of London in a well-appointed house with seven rooms (equivalent to a five-bedroomed house today). His father was working as a home-based master tailor and also as a postman with the General Post Office (G.P.O.) which allowed him to provide a comfortable lifestyle for his family.
Herbert was the eighth of nine children born to his parents. Sadly, before he was born, his second and fourth brothers died in infancy due to the family's impoverished circumstances whilst living in Hackney in the East End of London. Both boys perished from marasmus, a condition prevalent in families without access to protein-rich food and where insanitary water caused severe infant diarrhoea. Unable to absorb nutrients, these little mites agonisingly wasted away.
It is worth mentioning that Herbert had only one sister, Violet Elizabeth Ada Lane, who was left standing at the altar on 17 February 1917 by Russell William Joseph Baker, a Corporal with the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force, 28th Regiment. Unbeknown to poor Violet, this cad had a wife and six children waiting for him at home in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Happily, she married a worthier man 4 years later, with whom she had six children and an enduring marriage of 34 years.
After working for a short time as a railway porter, Herbert enlisted in the Royal Navy on 28 September 1908 at the age of 16 years. He served on a number of ships until 9 June 1911 when due to ill-health in Hong Kong, China, he was discharged to the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve (R.N.V.R.), for which he was paid a retainer of £8 per annum (£170 today). Since this retainer didn't provide him with a living wage, for the next 3 years he worked as a footman.
Footmen were domestic servants and something of a status symbol among the servant employing classes. They performed a less essential role than the cook, maid or even butler and were part of only the grandest households. Since a footman was for show, as much as for use, a tall footman was more highly prized than a short one, and good looks including well-turned legs, shown off by the traditional footman's dress of stockings and knee breeches, were an advantage. Footmen were expected to be unmarried and relatively young.
Following the outbreak of World War I (1914-1918), at the age of 22 years, Herbert was called up to serve as an Ordinary Seaman (Signals) from 11 August 1914 until his final demobilisation on 12 August 1919.
This conflict started on 4 August 1914 and ended with the armistice called for by Germany at 11:00 am on 11 November 1918. It decimated a generation of the world's youngest men. Most directly affected were those families' whose male relatives aged between 18 and 41 years were compelled to fight through both voluntary and compulsory enlistment.
There was no single, simple explanation for the onset of this war. Germany and Britain each wanted an empire. Austria and Russia wanted to take control of weaker countries in the Balkans. France wanted to win back land lost in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The spark that finally ignited the conflict that had been smouldering, was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (heir to the throne of Austria) by a Serb in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914.
When war broke out it was generally believed that 'it will be over by Christmas', however, it was finally won by the British and French allies through a long, arduous and expensive trial of strength with 6.7 million civilian and 9.7 million military casualties. The entry of fresh troops from the United States of America (U.S.A.) in 1917 was crucial in securing the final victory.
For most of his wartime service, Herbert was based at South Kessock in Inverness, and as a seaman on active service, earned 1s 3d per day/7s 6d per week (£2.69 per day/£16.15 per week today). It was during this time that he first met Ellen Ann Fraser MacNiven Michie. Shortly before his demobilisation, he married this beautiful lady and raised his family in Inverness, the capital city of the Scottish Highlands, located 459 miles (739 kilometers) north west of his birthplace.
After his wartime service came to an end, Herbert took advantage of a government sponsored scheme to train as a carpenter and joiner, a trade he practised for the remainder of his working life. Although all was well initially, during the Great Depression (1929-1939), the high level of unemployment made it difficult for Herbert to secure regular paid employment, and he struggled to keep the wolf away from his family's door.
The Great Depression began in the United States of America (U.S.A.) on 29 October 1929, following the 'Wall Street Crash' (American Stock Market collapse) and soon spread to Europe and the rest of the world. The financial instability which preceded this depression was caused by the debt many countries had accumulated during World War I.
Overseas customers for British produce had been lost, especially in traditional industries such as textiles, steel, coal mining and ship building. British industrial output and exports during the 1920s ran at about 70% of their pre-World War I levels, so there was little chance of Britain being able to amass enough capital to restore her overseas investment position. As demand for British products collapsed, the effect on traditional industries was immediate and devastating.
By the end of 1930, unemployment had more than doubled from 1 million to 2.5 million and exports had fallen in value by 50%. Those areas reliant on traditional industries were hardest hit. From 1936 onwards, the Government followed a policy of mass re-armament to counter the threat from the 'National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party in Germany. This economic stimulus finally ended the Great Depression.
Herbert's family's hardship was further compounded by World War II (1939-1945) rationing (the policy put in place by the British Government to deal with extreme shortages caused by this conflict between 1940 and 1954). Although all British people had an equal chance of buying whatever was available, everything was more expensive than it had been before the war, and this over-stretched Herbert's meagre resources.
This war began on 3 September 1939 as a conflict between Germany and the combined forces of France and Britain and eventually included most of the nations of the world, before it ended on 2 September 1945. The loss of life and material destruction was the greatest of any war in history. An estimated 30 million civilians and 25 million military personnel were killed.
It was caused by the rise of totalitarian military regimes in Germany, Italy and Japan. In Germany, Adolf Hitler head of the 'National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party, became German Chancellor in 1933, shortly after which he assumed dictatorial rule. He broke the Treaty of Versailles which had ended World War I (1914-1918) by proceeding with a massive build-up of Germany's armed forces with a view to creating the Third Reich (Empire) and a 'Master Race' through the subjugation of as many countries in the world as possible.
By the end of the war, the United States of America (U.S.A.) had become the most powerful nation in the world and the possessor of atomic weapons. This war also increased the power of the Soviet Union (Russia), which gained control of eastern Europe and part of Germany.
Herbert served his country during this war as a volunteer Air Raid Protection (A.R.P.) Warden, while Ellen's paid occupation as a postwoman for the General Post Office (G.P.O.) put food on the family's table.
After nearly 30 years of marriage, Ellen died and Herbert moved with his youngest children to Reigate in Surrey, so that he could be closer to the surviving members of his birth family, and more easily find employment. This was a difficult time for his family, especially his eldest son Henry Austin Lane who stayed behind in Inverness, after being reunited with his family for less than 18 months following his incarceration as a Prisoner of War (P.O.W.). In later life, Henry stayed in touch with his siblings and many entertaining clan gatherings have taken place over the years.
Herbert is best remembered as a loving father and highly skilled craftsman who built intricate model railway engines from biscuit tins and any other materials he could scrounge.
Creative Carpenter
Herbert ventured forth
and south met north
through a 'Michie' and a 'Lane'
while Britain was at war again.
Herbert was a joiner by trade
who railway coaches made
until his job was taken away
and he received no pay.
World War II imprisoned his son
until after the war was won
then his family was back together
until his wife's death parted them forever.

Interaction of CD95 and its ligand (CD95L) plays an important role in the regulation of immune response, since CD95 + lymphocytes may be killed after engagement of the CD95 receptor. Studying the CD95/CD95L system in 40 cases of breast cancer, the malignant cells expressed CD95L, but lost CD95 expression, when compared to non-malignant mammary epithelia. In addition, four breast cancer lines expressed CD95L, which was further enhanced, when the cells were treated with IFN-γ. This was functionally relevant, because Jurkat T cells incubated on breast cancer cells underwent CD95L specific apoptosis and the rate of apoptosis was demonstrated by inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases, CD95L expressed on breast cancer cells could also be shed from the cell membrane into the culture supernatant and supernatants derived from breast cancer cell cultures induced CD95L specific apoptosis in Jurkat T cells. Interestingly, in breast cancer patients depletion of CD4 + and CD8 + peripheral blood lymphocytes was tightly correlated with CD95 ligand expression in the tumours, which is suggestive for a relationship between CD95 ligand expression by tumour and systemic immunosuppression.


Running a 'green' office can be challenging and does have an initial outlay of fees. However, when done right, it can be both fruitful to the environment and the business alike. There are the obvious changes that can be made such as installing recycling points within your office and changing light fittings to be more energy efficient, but what happens when you rely on printing for your business?
There are ways in which you can print all those important documents that you need and still help the world to become a greener place. By making some small tweaks to both your printer and the items you use for the printing process, you will find a happy medium between becoming a green office and saving some money in the long run – what could be better?
Delving into the world of what is environmentally friendly and what isn't can be extremely confusing. With so many symbols and paper qualities to take into account, it is not easy to make sure that you have picked the right one for you and your business needs. Ultimately, the paper that you choose will need to fit the purpose it is being used for; for example, a magazine will need a different quality of finish than a company audit. Here is a breakdown of typical paper uses and how to go about choosing the right paper for your business – that is also environmentally-friendly.
Look for the percentage rate of the recycled materials within the paper. This is the first step to deciding whether the paper is right for your purpose or not. Sheets made from 50% recycled paper will have the qualities needed for structuring a magazine. On the other hand, a 100% recycled product tends to be thinner at round 100 GSM (the technical term for the paper thickness and quality), and this would be the perfect paper for printing reports and letters.
Once you have an idea of the recycled material percentage you need, you will also have the option to choose chemical free paper, such as chlorine free processed versions. Papers without chemicals tend to be thicker in quality, lending themselves to brochures, catalogues and certificates.
Finally and quite importantly, more and more companies are turning to producing paper from ethical working woodlands. This means that the working conditions are excellent and the staff receive good pay/provisions. This may not directly affect the environment, but it does have an impact upon sustainability and ethics.
The final part to consider is the inks that you choose. Environmentally friendly inks are relatively common place now and have proven to be an useful alternative for businesses that want to be environmentally friendly. They are less complex to understand and work through than eco friendly paper, but again they do all have a variety of uses. One of the most popular choices, due to the vivid pigments created, is a Soy based ink. Created from Soybeans, the soy dramatically leaves a rich color that is perfect for magazines and brochures.
Another popular option is ink cured by UV light. This is not harmful to the environment as it cuts out the chemical curing process, leaving you with a sharp, crisp color. Although slightly more expensive, it is a great choice for printing documents such as letterheads and reports, due to the quality of sharp lettering. Be careful however, when using UV inks as they do not absorb in the same manner as their chemical counterparts, needing longer to dry and possibly a thicker, more resistant paper.
In conclusion there are many options for creating an environmentally friendly small business that still has the ability to print documents. A few small tweaks to your current printing strategies and you will save money and the planet at the same time.

In hospitality news from leading luxury player Orient-Express Hotels, a new associate hotels programme by them promises independently owned and managed hotels new momentum.
Mr & Mrs Smith, the world's leading boutique and luxury hotel collection, is offering a staggering limited edition discount this month on not one, not two, not even three… but an incredible seven of its select hotels.
Our recent excursion to Paris enlightened us about quite a few Parisian attractions, hidden secrets, legendary and lesser known wonders within the confines of the place the ancient Parisii settled and worked. Our own enlightenment, mirroring an historic one, embodied in the nickname of this place on the Sein, La Ville-Lumière. The City of Light, is in fact an ongoing work of art, a living canvas painted familiar and anew each day. Like children, this is the way to discover Paris.
A couple of weeks ago we posted a short review about the digital connectedness of Mr & Mrs Smith Hotels. An honest review of an obviously superb organization, we honestly had no idea. Today I wanted to personally commend this company again, something I am not sure we have ever done. Read on, and discover the right way to do things in hospitality.

Urethral strictures as well as tumors in the urinary tract can be effectively treated using Holmium lasers. Urethral strictures include pathologies leading to a narrowing of the urethral lumen, causing subvesical obstruction. They can lead to irreversible changes in the upper and lower urinary tract.
Lumenis' range of Holmium solutions include custom designed delivery systems that are suited for urology surgeries including the treatments of Strictures and Tumors. The Ho:YAG laser offers a significant advantage with its coagulation ability. Rated as a safe and minimally invasive therapeutic option comparable with conventional urethrotomy, it can be an alternative to urethroplasty when concurrent diseases do not qualify patients for open urethral reconstruction2.
Yaofeng Zhu, Xianzhou Jiang, Jianping Zhang, Weili Chen, Benkang Shi, Zhishun X. Safety and efficacy of holmium laser resection for primary nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer versus transurethral electroresection: single-center experience. Urology. 2008 Sep;72(3):608-12.

Leaders in the community – with amazing stories.
Our Float Ambassador program will be launching soon!
We're currently in the process of building a team of local athletes, artists, yogis and more – who support floating, it's benefits and who work extraordinarily hard to be strong leaders in their community.
We believe that by supporting these individuals in their quests, adventures and goals – through unlimited access to floating – we can help make a difference in the lives and programs they are apart of.
If you know someone who could be a great ambassador – please check out our Sponsorship Application.
The following is a showcase of local athletes, artists, yogis and more, who support and enjoy floating in their everyday lives, training, practice and competition. Leaders in their community – with amazing stories.
Is there anything quite like a warm towel after relaxing in a bath for a couple hours? Did we also mention our towels happen to be fluffy clouds?

> >> I today noticed the "pkg autoremove" command for the first time, which does much the same thing as pkg_cutleaves but relies on the "automatic" flag in the pkgng database rather than user input to determine which "leaf" ports can be removed. Unfortunately, the pkg2ng utility has no way of knowing which old-style packages it converts were installed automatically as dependencies, so they are all marked as non-automatic (i.e. user-requested). In my case, this was not true for the majority of installed ports. Since I really like this functionality, I decided to update my local package database to match my preferences.
> >> Having succeeded, I decided a tool to make doing so easy could well benefit others (as well as my future self). (Plus I wanted an excuse to play with dialog(1) and "pkg query" a bit.) So here's the result. I'm not too attached to the name. It shouldn't eat your package database or steal your lunch money, but I'm not responsible if it does. Other than that, feedback is welcome.
> > script along with the next pkg 1.0.1 as a contributed script?
> No problem. Attached is the output of "git diff origin" after dropping my script in to my local tree. Let me know if you need something else.
> 	Replaced SQL with 'pkg set' commands. Since I didn't come up with a fast way to list the packages not in the 'automatic' list, I first set all packages to 0 (not automatic), then set the ones in the list to 1. This is likely slower than the SQL variant was, but it's not bad and not something likely to be run frequently.

Q: How to select only content in the sheet rather all unused/empty cell value My goal is to load the excel(only one sheet) data to DataTable. so that i have used the following query.
                 System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection MyConnection;
                System.Data.DataSet custdataset;
                System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter MyCommand;
                MyConnection = new OleDbConnection
                {
                    ConnectionString = ConnectionString(filename, "Yes")
                };

                MyCommand = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$]", MyConnection);
                MyCommand.TableMappings.Add("Table", "TestTable");
                custdataset = new System.Data.DataSet();
                MyCommand.Fill(custdataset);
                MyConnection.Close();

but it load the all unused/empty cell value to datatable. how to avoid that? how to load only used cell value. For example A1 to F4 not whole sheet.

A: public DataTable ImportExceltoDatatable(string filepath)
{
    // string sqlquery= "Select * From [SheetName$] Where YourCondition";
    string sqlquery = "Select * From [SheetName$] Where Id='ID_007'";
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    string constring = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + filepath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;\"";
    OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(constring + "");
    OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlquery, con);
    da.Fill(ds);
    DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];
    return dt;
}

you can use this one, if it match

Romulus at the Mole Adriana is one of the oldest trattorias in Rome, will celebrate its 90th anniversary next year. It is located in Borgo Pio and has a large modern structure with a glass wall that overlooks the famous Passetto, the passage connecting Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican.
You will find dishes of Roman tradition, but also classics that go beyond regional boundaries. The distinctive trait of Romulus at Mole Adriana has always been to be a neighborhood inn for the Roman who wants to satisfy the desire of amateur or saltimbocca, but at the same time is a safe harbor for the many tourists who want to savor the Italian kitchen.
