Q: Convert multiple Excel sheets to CSV My goal is to open multiple excel files from input folder and convert them to .csv in output folder. I am facing minor issues where

*

*code converts .xlsx to .csv , converts .xls to .csv but in output
folder, it stores .csv and .xls files. I can't figure out why .xls
files are also getting stored. I only wish to store .csv files

*I only want to convert data from excel 'Sheet1' but the code is
converting data from an active sheet. How to specify to convert
data only from 'Sheet1'?

Option Explicit

Sub ImportMultipleCsvFile()

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False

    Dim InputCsvFile As Variant
    Dim InputFolder As String, OutputFolder As String

    InputFolder = "C:\Users\excel_format"
    OutputFolder = "C:\Users\csv_format"

    InputCsvFile = Dir(InputFolder & "\*.xl??")

    While InputCsvFile <> ""
        Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=InputFolder & "\" & InputCsvFile, DataType:=xlDelimited, Comma:=True

        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=OutputFolder & "\" & Replace(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".xlsx", ".csv"), FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=OutputFolder & "\" & Replace(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".xls", ".csv"), FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False

        ActiveWorkbook.Close
        InputCsvFile = Dir
    Wend
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

End Sub

A: If you change this:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=OutputFolder & "\" & Replace(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".xlsx", ".csv"), FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=OutputFolder & "\" & Replace(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".xls", ".csv"), FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False

to that:
--- to remove VBA codeblocks from Workbook before saving them as .csv, I have used this stackoverflow answer, then I checked it to make sense by using the info from here ---
Dim StartWb As Workbook
Dim TempWb As Workbook

Set StartWb = ActiveWorkbook
Set TempWb = Application.Workbooks.Add
StartWb.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=TempWb.Worksheets(1)

If TempWb.Worksheets.Count > 1 Then
    Do While (TempWb.Worksheets.Count > 1)
        TempWb.Worksheets(TempWb.Worksheets.Count).Delete
    Loop
End If

' ----- This is new to delete the codeblocks from your Sheets -----------
Dim Element As Object
For Each Element In TempWb.VBProject.VBComponents
    'For Each Item In Element.Collection ' This For loop wasn't needed at the and but I forgot it in
        Element.CodeModule.DeleteLines 1, Element.CodeModule.CountOfLines
    'Next   ' It has most likely thrown up Undeclared Variable error with Option Eplicit
Next
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------

If InStr(StartWb.Name, ".xlsx") Then
    TempWb.SaveAs Filename:=OutputFolder & "\" & Replace(StartWb.Name, ".xlsx", ".csv"), FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
ElseIf InStr(StartWb.Name, ".xls") Then
    TempWb.SaveAs Filename:=OutputFolder & "\" & Replace(StartWb.Name, ".xls", ".csv"), FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
End If

TempWb.Close (xlNo)

then you will only get your .csv file saved, as well as it will only contain that first sheet.
I would also put these:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

at the end of your code before or after:
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

Also swap this:
ActiveWorkbook.Close

to that:
StartWb.Close (xlNo)

To remove code from workbooks by code you have to change settings in Excel:

"Codependence, (a major manifestation of the adult child syndrome), is a disease of lost self-hood," according to Dr. Whitfield in his book, "Co-Dependence: Healing the Human Condition" (Health Communications, 1991, p. "It can mimic, be associated with, aggravate, and even lead to many of the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual conditions that befall us in daily life. "When we focus outside of ourselves, we lose touch with what is inside of us: beliefs, thoughts, feelings, decisions, choices, experiences, wants, needs, sensations, intuitions. These and more are part of an exquisite feedback system that we can call our inner life. In short, a person can sever his connection with his consciousness and consciousness is who he really is. Like expecting a home appliance to operate without plugging it into an electric socket, a codependent may merge with and feed off of another to such an extent that he no longer believes he can function independently. The origins of the malady are the same as those which cause the adult child syndrome. "The hallmark of codependency is taking care of people who should have been taking care of you," according to Dr. Susan Powers of the Caron Treatment Centers. Instead of being self-centered and expecting to get their needs met, children from dysfunctional, alcoholic, or abusive homes are forced, at a very early age, to become other- or parent-centered, meeting their needs, attempting to resolve or fix their deficiencies, and sometimes making Herculean efforts to achieve their love in what may be considered an ultimate role reversal. If this dynamic could be verbally expressed, the parent would say, "What I can't do, you're expected to do yourself, substituting you for me. And this reality may well extend beyond themselves, since they are often forced to replace their parents during times that their younger siblings have need for them, becoming surrogate mothers and fathers. In essence, they disregard their own need for a parent and become one themselves. Instead of being nurtured, they cultivate codependence, since it places them on a path that will entail seeking it in others. "Our experience shows that the codependent rupture, which creates an outward focus to gain love and affection, is created by a dysfunctional childhood. ," according to the "Adult Children of Alcoholics" textbook (World Service Organization, 2006, p. ) "The soul rupture is the abandonment by our parents or caregivers. (and) sets us up for a life of looking outward for love and safety that never comes. This condition is only exacerbated by the same parents who neither support nor permit a child to express or heal his hurts-and may actually be met with denial or shame if he tries to do so-leaving him little choice but to stuff and swallow them, resulting in a repressed, but mounting accumulation of unresolved negative emotions. After repeated squelching of a child's observations, feelings, and reactions-in essence, his reality-he progressively disconnects from his true self and denies his crucial inner cues. Unraveling, he is poised on the threshold that leads from in to out-that is, toward others and away from himself, sparking the conflict between his once true and since replaced false self, which manifests itself as codependence. Forced, additionally, to focus on his parent's moods, attitudes, and behaviors further plants the roots of this condition, but nevertheless becomes a necessary survival tactic for two primary reasons. First and foremost, children assume responsibility for their parents' deficiencies and ill treatment by justifying it, erroneously reasoning that their own flaws, lack of worth, and general unloveability are the culprits for the withholds of their validation and acceptance, thus shifting the burden from the ones who should be carrying it to the one who should not. Secondly, adopting a sixth sense concerning their parents' moods becomes a safety gauge and enables them to emotionally and physiologically prepare themselves for what has most likely become habitual and even cyclical negative confrontations of verbal and physical abuse. As episodes of "expected abnormalcy," they add insurmountable layers of trauma to the original, but no longer remembered one. Unable, then or now, to use the body's fight or flight survival mechanisms, yet still drowned in a flood of stress hormones (cortisol) and elevated energy, they have no choice but to tuck themselves into the inner child protective sanctuary they created at a very young age as the only realizable "solution" to the parental-threatened and -inflicted danger, enduring, tolerating, and downright surviving the unfair power play and "punishment" they may believe is being administered because of "deserved discipline. Like signals, a mere frown on or cringe of a parent's face may prime the child for the episodes he knows will assuredly follow. So thick can the tension in the air become at these times, that he can probably cut it with a knife. Part of the wounding, which reduces a person's sense of self and esteem and increases his feeling of emptiness, occurs as a result of projective identification. Volatility charged, yet unable to get to the center of or bore through his emotional pain, a parent may project, like a movie on to a screen, parts of himself on to another, such as his vulnerable, captive child, until that child takes on and identifies with the projection. Releasing and relieving himself, the sender, (the parent) does not have to own or even take responsibility for his negative feelings. If the recipient (the child) ultimately acts them out after repeated projected implanting, whose emotions now mount into uncontainable proportions, the sender may berate or belittle him for them, in an ultimate out-of-persona dynamic, which transfers emotions from one to the other. "If we have unhealthy boundaries, we are like sponges that absorb the painful, conflicted material of others sent from their inner life," wrote Whitfield in "Co-Dependence: Healing the Human Condition" (Health Communications, 1991, p. "It is clearly not ours, yet we soak it up. "(This only causes) the true self to go into hiding to protect itself from the overwhelming pain of mistreatment, abuse, lack of being affirmed and mirrored in a healthy way, and the double and other negative messages from toxic others around it," he noted. These incidents, needless to say, become breeding grounds for both the adult child syndrome and its codependent manifestation. "The adult child syndrome is somewhat interchangeable with the diagnosis of codependence," according to the "Adult Children of Alcoholics" textbook (World Service Organization, 2006, pp. "There are many definitions for codependence; however, the general consensus is that codependent people tend to focus on the wants and needs of others rather than their own. By doing so, the codependent or adult child can avoid his or her own feelings of low self-worth. A codependent focuses on others and their problems to such an extent that the codependent's life is often adversely affected. Part of a codependent's breeding occurs because a child needs his parents for his emotional and psychological development, yet he often dips into a dry well when he connects with them to achieve this goal, emerging dissatisfied, unfulfilled, and almost stung by the negative, rejecting energy. He may, in fact, implement several strategies to attain what he vitally needs, but will often fail, since his parents themselves never received what he seeks because of their own dysfunctional or incomplete childhoods. If they could be considered profit-and-loss statements, they would most likely show an emotional deficit and, eventually, so, too, will the child, prompting his ultimate outward- and other- focus. Bombarded with parental blame and shame, a child can quickly believe that he causes others' negative or detrimental actions by virtue of his sheer existence, as if he were a negatively influencing entity and may carry both this belief and its burden for most of his life. "As children, we took responsibility for our parents' anger, rage, blame, or pitifulness. ," according to the "Adult Children of Alcoholics" textbook (World Service Organization, 2006, p. "This mistaken perception, born in childhood, is the root of our codependent behavior as adults. Whitfield uncovers an even deeper cause. "The cause of codependence is a wounding of the true self to such an extent that, to survive, it had to go into hiding most of the time, with the subsequent running of its life by the false or codependent self," he wrote in "Co-Dependence: Healing the Human Condition" (Health Communications, 1991, p. "It is thus a disease of lost self-hood.

Deb returned from her morning run to find Jack sitting at the dining room table. Several tools and electronic parts were spread before him, and he appeared to be jabbing something with a screwdriver.
"What are you working on, dear?" Deb asked as she walked to the kitchen for a glass of water.
"I'm going to make us rich," he said, not looking up from his work.
He handed her the end of an extension cord that was attached to the hunk of metal he created. He then stuck the hunk of metal in his mouth and waited.
Deb's eyes moved from Jack to the extension cord to the wall socket. Then she drank her glass of water in one big gulp.
She set down the plug and casually walked back to the kitchen. As soon as she was out of sight, she sprinted at top speed out the back door and around the side of the house to the garage. She learned from the time he tried to invent a bathtub toaster that she had to turn off the circuit breakers as quickly as possible.

Immigration brings out Trump's most radical self
Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen

Nothing stirs President Trump's most radical ideas like immigration. And nothing so stirs his willingness to entertain what some consider illegal or wrong.
Between the lines: People who know Trump well say his obsession is fueled by a combination of goading from Fox, the president's recognition that his signature campaign promise is unmet, and his frustration with restrictions on his power.
Trump doesn't fixate on China, or even the economy, like this:
He imposed the Muslim travel ban a week into his presidency.
He considered an unconstitutional plan to end birthright citizenship, the right to citizenship for non-citizens' babies who are born here.
He focused his campaign on a border wall that proved logistically and financially infeasible.
He continued to insist on the wall, leading to the 35-day government shutdown.
He threatened to close the southern border, which even Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said would have a "potentially catastrophic economic impact."
He wants to move migrants to far-off sanctuary cities run by Democrats.
Think of all the internal relationships that immigration helped sour or destroy (all these are formers): Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, chief of staff John Kelly, economic adviser Gary Cohn — and more.
So why?
Trump is genuinely frustrated that two years into his presidency, he hasn't built the wall he promised, and he hasn't reduced the flow of asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants into the U.S. In fact, the numbers are going up.
The issue is highlighted above all others by the news outlet he focuses on most, Fox News. That raises his blood pressure every day.
He can't understand why he's not allowed to have total control over who enters the U.S. across the southern border.
Go deeper: Inside Trump's hardline new border plan

In the previous post we discussed how data analytics has become crucial to planning and executing effective marketing strategies for all businesses. We learned about the examples of ZoomShift, Grammarly and LearnVisualStudio.NET – and how they are using data analytics to drive conversion and push forward their businesses.
Today, we are going to talk about other methods that how marketing strategies can use qualitative data, apart from conducting on-site surveys. But before that, let us refresh your memory: Qualitative data is not measured, but observed. The data acquired assists companies – regardless of their size and industry – to understand the buying behavior and pattern of their customers.
a. There are no universal rules for analyzing the data.
Since the subject and content on the basis of which the analysis is not objective in nature, the results often get skewed.
b. There is no end to gathering data.
Seriously, there is no limit to as to how much a marketer can and should collect to be able to derive a proper solution or strategy. This is why the whole process is instinctive in nature.
c. There is need to reduce data for reporting purposes.
As mentioned in the second point, the data gathered can be enormous in nature. This invariably affects the reports prepared after analysis.
This technique works brilliantly, especially if there is a demand for a variety of opinions and feedback. There is no need to opt for a traditional focus group wherein a group of 8-10 people talks about the topic in hand. No, we are talking about a more digitally inclined focus group.
Marketers can hold a webcam or online bulletin board focus group which provides the customers a platform to participate in a group discussion of three to four days. They answer questions asked by the moderator and respond to images or videos on their computer screen.
If you still haven't understood this, think about Google Hangouts. There was a time when this platform was quite the go-to choice to interact with the customers in real-time. It still is. It is a perfect platform for conducting digital focus groups.
There's nothing better than using a live chat on the website. Why? Because this allows the business to interact with the customers in real-time. It's a proven tactic for improving conversion rates. And it helps in getting insights on aspects such as "what the potential customers are looking for on the website?", "what they feel is missing on the website?", "what complaints do they have?" etc.
Marketers can always make note of the feedback of the potential customers and include them in the marketing strategies. Striking the right chord with the target audience is essential. But the only catch here is they need to monitor the volume of the data collected.
Conducting surveys is always an option. Even though it is a traditional method, it still rules the roost in planning modern marketing strategies. Learn about who the customers really are and what they want and what queries they have in terms of the product or service.
Understanding the target customer base's point of view is necessary. The best way to gather information is speak to people (or potential customers), with whom you don't have any history. Keep the questions open-ended to get more vibrant and broad feedbacks.
MCQs are convenient but they never present the clear picture – which is why it is okay to use them for smaller projects but not when the business is relying on them for planning their marketing strategies for the coming quarter or a year!
Despite the manual intervention and subjective reporting, qualitative analysis is still an indispensable option when it comes to achieving actionable insights for making marketing strategies that will, in turn, make the business drive conversions and generate revenue at a faster pace. So let us also focus on "why" and "how" aspects in a business, and not just "what", "where" and "when" of statistics!


Harrold, SD is an excellent place to live. It's got all of the charm and quiet of any small town, but it's also close enough to the larger city of Henry to have some nearby fun and excitement. Unfortunately, though, Harrold is neither as developed or as technologically advanced as it could be. In fact, it isn't even its own "town" really; it's still unincorporated and is often lumped in as an outlier of Henry. Despite those facts, many people really love living in Harrold and couldn't imagine living anywhere else; their only problem, however, is that they have a hard time finding internet service. Most internet providers just haven't bothered with Harrold, and the internet service providers that have mostly offer slow, outdated, and unreliable internet options. The one exception to that rule is HughesNet Internet, also known as HughesNet Satellite Internet. Hughesnet is a satellite internet service provider that offers very high speed, very reliable satellite internet to people regardless of where they live, and that extends to people in good old Harrold!
Why Other Internet Options Just Won't Do in Harrold!
People are often unsure about using satellite internet service in Harrold, usually because they don't know as much about it as they do about older forms of internet access, such as broadband internet or wireless internet. The truth is, however, that satellite internet companies, such as HughesNet in Harrold, truly do offer the very best option for securing high speed internet, especially for those living in rural areas like Harrold, South Dakota. Other options, which may or may not be available for rural internet subscribers, just aren't as reliable and don't provide fast internet the way that a satellite internet provider can. Dial-up internet, for example, is so outdated that many modern computers can't even support it. Plus, dial-up requires you to have a phone line, ties that phone line up when you're online, and is notorious for slow connections and constant disconnects, internet options Harrold, SD. Some people think that DSL is a much better option, but when you look at DSL vs. satellite internet, you'll see that you still need a phone line, and that if you're not in close proximity to a central switching station, which most people in rural areas aren't, you're not likely to fare much better than you would with dial-up in Harrold. Comparing cable vs satellite internet is even worse, since cable connections need a strong connection to a nearby service center in order to give out good internet signal in Harrold, South Dakota and to keep speeds from being agonizingly slow . When you grow tired of these options or when you can't get access to them, give yourself a break by securing surprisingly cheap internet service from the best internet provider around, Hughesnet! HughesNet will even send satellite internet installers to your home at your convenience to set up your service and teach you how to use it; talk about customer support in Harrold, SD!
HughesNet Internet is truly the only one of the internet providers that absolutely anyone in Harrold, SD can qualify for, regardless of which area of it they live in. When a person chooses to sign up for Hughesnet Satellite Internet, he or she will be able to connect to the internet absolutely anytime, and other users in the Harrold home can use the internet service as well. See, unlike other internet service providers and other types of internet, satellite internet is delivered via a satellite that sits in orbit. Because of this fact, when Hughesnet becomes your satellite internet service provider Harrold, SD, you don't need to go through some long, complex, and difficult installation process. Instead, a small mini-dish will simply be installed somewhere on your property, and you'll be given a modem to connect to your computer. After that, you're good to go; it's really that simple in Harrold, SD! You can expect nothing but the very best when you choose to secure your internet service through Hughesnet Internet. Hughesnet Satellite Internet offers the very best speeds of all internet service providers, including download speeds of up to 12 megabits per second, allowing you to download in Harrold, SDeven the largest picture, movie, and music files in much less time than you could with DSL or other internet providers. A wide variety of customized satellite internet packages are available from Hughesnet in Harrold, SD; in fact, it's one of the few satellite internet service provider companies that will actually customize a package specifically to meet your needs. By keeping your best interests in mind at all times, offering great customer service and support, and striving to keep you happy, Hughesnet is easily the best internet service provider in Harrold, SD, and you should have an experience that "meets" your expectations!

1. Harmonisation of National Growing Media Legislation
2. Responsibly Produced Peat
3. Life Cycle Assessment of Growing Media Constituents
4. Eco-label for Growing Media and Soil Improvers
5. Industry data gathering
Harmonisation of National Growing Media Legislation - the new Fertilising Product Regulation (FPR)
The growing media industry is committed to working on the removal of existing trade barriers that are impeding the full development of growing media intra-EU trade flows. Growing media and soil improvers are currently produced exclusively under national law, which differs considerably from one Member State to the next. The members of Growing Media Europe AISBL (GME) have thus been promoting since several years a European harmonisation to create a level playing field and lower intra-EU trade barriers for the sector.
With regards to the new Fertilising Product Regulation, that will enter into force in July 2022, Growing Media Europe welcomes the step forward towards European harmonization and Circular Economy, but sees risks for the growing media sector.
While we highly welcome and support the European Commission's work towards a common legislative framework across the European Union, the new text in its current form contains unfeasible obligations that neglect common industry practices and make it impossible for most growing media products to meet the necessary requirements.
Responsibly Produced Peat
Growing Media Europe members have supported the establishment of "Responsibly Produced Peat", a certification system for growing media applications. The goal of the Certification Scheme for Responsibly Produced Peat (RPP) is to ensure that peat used as a constituent for growing media can be guaranteed from responsible sources.
RPP aims at achieving the following benefits:
Maximising peat production from degraded peatlands, leaving natural peatlands with high biodiversity untouched
Securing the best possible development after completion of peat production, with preference for restoration.
Assuring the long-term availability of a highly valuable growing media constituent.
The initiative was encouraged by the Dutch Government and resulted from fruitful discussion and cooperation between the Growing Media Europe member companies, the International Peat Society (IPS) and the Dutch Growing Media Producers Organisation (VPN). Tomi Koivula of the company Neova has been elected to represent Growing Media Europe as a new RPP Board Member in 2020.
The criteria and the certification system were developed in close cooperation with Wetlands International and other NGOs in a multistakeholder process. The system lays down requirements from site-selection till after-use, which are established in consultation with various stakeholders and organisations (GM producers, environmental NGOs, growing media users and scientists). It is Growing Media Europe´s objective to achieve that the certification of responsibly produced peat will become the industry's standard approach to peatlands extraction in the future.
More information can be found here
Life Cycle Assessment of Growing Media Constituents
Growing Media Europe has successfully created a sector guideline that defines rules on calculating the environmental footprint of growing media. The guideline was developed in full coherence with the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) of the European Commission, which sets strict guidelines on the scope and factors used for the LCA. More information will follow soon.
Data gathering study on the European growing media industry
Growing Media Europe is currently preparing a comprehensive data collection process with its members to ensure our work is based on a strong and reliable data base. The data gathering procedure will be repeated on a regular basis in order to stay on top of developments in the sector.
More information will follow soon.

The sometimes terminal nature of mental illness
Content warning: suicide, the state of mental health support in Australia
I read that when creative writing students are starting out, one of the things they write about most is suicide. It's a "gimmie subject," professors say (their words, not mine!), "like the Holocaust." It's easy to write about it evocatively. It's easy to create a passionate and tortured story. But what of suicides that are not evocative? Not a tragic, twisted, macabre shriek but just a silence at the end of a life sentence? Not despair and heartbreak and shock but just the inevitable end?
In 1980 my father sat in a room in Adelaide's Flinders Medical Centre with his own father, who was recovering from carbon monoxide poisoning. They were both young men — dad in his 30s and my grandfather in his 50s — but the weight of what had happened made them old.
"What should we do?" dad said, and the doctor said, "Prepare yourself to be back here again soon." Two weeks later they were, this time to view the body.
As a society, we lack empathy when it comes to matters of depression, delusion and fear. And we demand recovery of the mentally ill in a uniquely aggressive way. We expect sufferers of incurable and treatment-resistant mental illnesses to tough it out, to brighten up, to think differently. The fact that these illnesses are borne from brain function must mean the brain can also fix them, that through neuroplasticity we may be cured. There is rarely a consideration of non-recovery. Even the incurableness of mental illness does little to deter friends and family from their insistence that things will improve. Tomorrow is a new day. What have you got to be sad about?
We lack a nuanced way to speak about mental health treatment. We insist on trying new things in perpetuity. Many treatments have known limited periods of effectiveness. Many treatments have challenging and sometimes dangerous side effects. Many treatments reduce quality of life. If this all sounds familiar, it's because the same is often true of end-of-life treatments for patients with terminal physical illnesses.
We think about terminal illness as a physical inevitability. A body with stage VI cancer will die. A person with degenerative neurological disease will die. Someone with progressive organ failure will die. What we don't do is consider the terminal nature of mental illness. That to be diagnosed with specific mental illnesses is to carry around a probably-terminal illness. People with bipolar disorder die, on average, 20 years earlier than people without. Up to 80 per cent of people with schizophrenia die by suicide. There is an inevitableness to these illnesses in the same way that there might be in a cancer diagnosis. There is a reasonable likelihood you will die as a result of this illness.
In fact, when it comes to bleak life-ending illness, we don't even necessarily expect the patient to die of the illness. Most of the time, the body becomes weak and therefore more susceptible to infection, disease, etc. A broken immune system exposes a patient to respiratory illness, organ failure, cardiac arrest. They don't die of their disease but just because of it.
Mental illness is usually not the direct cause of death but the reason the mind and body is exposed to fatal circumstances. Is suicide as a result of having a chronic and incurable mental illness different from succumbing to pneumonia because of a compromised immune system? People who make a serious attempt on their own life (which we will gently and empathetically differentiate from a "cry for help", a completely valid experience not intended to end in death) are more than 80% likely to make another serious attempt within six months. This number is even higher when limited to people with "serious" mental illnesses — including schizoid and psychotic-type illnesses and mood disorders.
Euthanasia, the subject of much debate in this country, is always spoken of in the context of terminal physical illness. Supporters promote its availability to people who will eventually succumb to their painful, debilitating or otherwise life-worsening condition. In these cases, the patient is empowered not only by the assisted suicide but also by the people around them who support it. There is oblique support of the terminal nature of brain disease: we accept the degenerative nature of neurological disorders like ALS and dementia, but not the endless reinforcement and battering of illnesses like borderline personality disorder or chronic psychosis. Having a mental illness is not a "good enough reason" to sign on for euthanasia. The inevitability of death is only explicit if the body is in decay, not the spirit. And by excluding mental illness from the "terminal" definition, we ignore the many ways in which mental health can have an impact on physical health. Studies have shown that people with mental illnesses are also more likely to suffer from heart disease and stroke. They are more likely to be obese, to have higher cholesterol, to have higher blood pressure.
Which isn't even the whole truth about mental illness. Different disorders affect the patient in different ways. Not every illness has a depressive symptom, where the patient becomes severely melancholy. A deep sadness is not necessarily required for suicidal ideation. Manic symptoms — where a patient may experience feelings of extreme euphoria — can be equally debilitating. Then there are people, like my grandfather, who have a resigned sensibility about their suicide. He asked that no one make a fuss, spelled out his wishes for his funeral and subsequent arrangements for his adult children, then signed off. It was devoid of despair. His wife had died, his children had grown up, and his business here was simply finished.
Here's an unpalatable fact to consider: mental illness is a big bucks industry. Medications like SSRIs, SNRIs, tranquilisers and beta blockers from a substantial part of a multi-billion dollar pharmaceuticals industry. Psychology, psychiatry and other therapies can command upwards of $500 per hour. Mental health care plans bring in approximately $160 to a clinic every time a patient requests one. I have been told by psychologists that their local GPs are referring more patients than they can fit into their books for just one session, because the financial benefits of MHCP offer such a good time-to-money ratio. There are financial incentives for prolonging the treatment of mental health patients. There is a dichotomy that must be recognized in the "wellness" of a patient also being the end of their invoices.
There is no palliative care for people with mental illness. There is no, "here is a person at the end-stage of their life with a chronic mental health issue." I have a treatment-resistant kind of mental illness. I've been on anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication, anti-psychotics and beta blockers. They had different effects: one made me lactate, one stopped my ability to orgasm, one made me suicidal. These medications work for lots of people, but not me. I'm not "terminal" now, but one day I might be. In many ways, my eventual inability to drum up the energy to face any more days seems inevitable. I hope, when and if that time comes, someone shows me the same kind of empathy they've been taught to show their oncology patients.

Karloman (ur. 715, zm. 754) – majordom królestwa Franków, faktyczny władca w latach 741–747 w Austrazji.

Po śmierci Karola Młota w roku 741 jego dwaj synowie, Karloman i Pepin Krótki, podzielili pomiędzy siebie królestwo Franków. Karloman otrzymał Austrazję, Szwabię i Turyngię. Wraz z Pepinem osadzili swojego najmłodszego, przyrodniego brata Griffo w klasztorze. Obaj bracia rządzili swoimi częściami zgodnie, wspierając się wzajemnie. Już w 742 roku Hunald I, książę Akwitanii, zbuntował się i bracia razem stłumili bunt. W tym samym roku bunt podniósł także Odilo, książę Bawarów i tym razem bracia tłumili go wspólnie.

W 743 roku na tronie królestwa osadzili Childeryka III z dynastii Merowingów. W tym samym roku Karloman wraz z Pepinem dokonali ataku na Sasów. W latach 744 i 745 doszło do ponownych buntów w Akwitanii i Bawarii, które obaj bracia zdławili. W 744 roku Odilo bawarski poślubił siostrę obu Karolingów – Hiltrudę. Karloman silnie wspierał chrystianizację Germanii i popierał budowaną przez świętego Bonifacego sieć kościołów i biskupstw. W 742 roku zwołał pierwszy synod kościoła na terenie Niemiec zw. Concilium Germanicum. Fundował też klasztory, w tym jeden z najsłynniejszych w Fuldzie.

W 746 roku, gdy wybuchł bunt możnych Alamanów, Karloman zwołał ich na zjazd do Cannstatt (obecnie Stuttgart). Po ich przybyciu dokonał masowej egzekucji możnych alamańskich (tzw. Masakra w Cannstatt).

15 sierpnia 747 Karloman przekazał swoje władztwo bratu Pepinowi Krótkiemu, przyjął tonsurę zakonnika od papieża Zachariasza i osiadł w klasztorze na Monte Cassino. Przebywał tam do 754 roku, kiedy to udał się na dwór swego brata Pepina, by zapewnić wpływy swemu synowi Drogonowi i odwieść władcę Franków od walki z Aistulfem, królem Longobardów. Pepin odmówił i uwięził brata w Vienne, gdzie Karloman zmarł kilka tygodni później. Został pochowany na Monte Cassino.

Data security and privacy compliance regulation was top priority at RSAC2018 because of the EU's GDPR deadline looming next month on May 25th. Last week, San Francisco's Moscone's Center was host to the security show of all shows, RSA2018, with over 500 vendors and 40,000 attendees from all over the world. One thing became very clear from all the exhibitors, keynotes, speakers, special programs, and podcasts – if you rely on the cloud, then protecting your data and securing it is critical for file sharing.
As the only file sharing/file remote access software solution vendor at the RSAC show, MyWorkDrive had amazing feedback and an overwhelmingly positive response exhibiting and providing demos of our latest version release at our booth. RSAC Broadcast Alley was host to MyWorkDrive's CMO, Jackie R. Bruckman, and MyWorkDrive's CEO, Dan Gordon, recorded live discussing all the ways MyWorkDrive can help Enterprise in all sectors stay secure and compliant.
MyWorkDrive met with decision makers and security professionals from all over the world and has been busy on-boarding new clients this week immediately following the show. MyWorkDrive had an overwhelmingly positive response demonstrating our secure file share remote access solution at RSAC2018 for enterprises. The overwhelming take away was that many Enterprises need MyWorkDrive to simplify their data security compliance for safe file sharing while making users more productive and reducing costs of support or migrations to new Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) systems.
The Cloud is only someone else's server after all and it's time for many sectors to think outside the cloud. Windows file sharing with NTFS security is tried and true and may not be as glamorous, but we are empowering Enterprises across the globe to make the right decision about their most critical data while making users more productive and eliminating the security risks of cloud storage.

Venom's back? This should make for some interesting posts on various forums. 🙂
Love the new cover for Classic volume #9 and #21 cover rocks!
Toradoch	on May 19, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Is the 'Hearts & Minds' not #1? I don't recall seeing 1-3.
Eduardo	on May 19, 2010 at 10:30 pm
"Dr. Venom returns from the dead!"
yuck. I love Dr Venom but he had a cool death and his story came to an end. Hama better have something really cool in mind because I am not feeling this
Ben	on May 20, 2010 at 1:03 pm
First thing I thought of when I saw the Dr. Venom line was 5″ floppy disk with his brainwaves on it inserted into a SNAKE Armor.
I'm just hoping it's not something lame like he just escaped from The Pit and now he's back. DDP pulled that crap way too often with characters that were pretty clearly killed off (i.e. "The" S.A.W. Viper, The Paine Brothers, Wingfield).
