The couple's hopes and needs merged at Sea Star, a stylish but comfortable home perched on the edge of Narragansett Bay, adjacent to the Bristol Highlands Improvement Association. Just five years old when they bought it, the home had a fresh appeal that enticed the Vachons, especially with its open floor plan and the 44 windows that capitalized on the panoramic views of the glistening bay. "We came in here and fell in love with it," says Gerry with a smile.
"The home's builders were very thoughtful and very good," Barbara chimes in. Single-level living, two spacious bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a two-car garage make the home ideally situated to their lifestyle. But, like any nesters, the couple was eager to make the adjustments needed so that the home would truly feel like their own. Though already elegantly appointed and in turnkey condition, the couple looked to Glenn Marr of Living Design in Warren to help integrate their existing furnishings and décor with the new surroundings, and to locate complementary antiques that would offer a polished, comprehensive aesthetic.
The master bedroom, the first leg in the home's reinvention, gave the Vachons a peek into the mind of the designer. "In each room he chose something to be the focal point, and in this room, he chose the rug," explains Barbara, pointing to the plush carpet underfoot that's awash in a spray of bold hues, contrasted with subtle shades. "Crushed raffia" is the wall color, a restful green that morphs to khaki as the sunlight changes. The soft tone complements the sky and sweeping water view, which regardless of the luxurious bedding (made by Glenn), will always take center stage. The existing en suite bath, a soft pumpkin color, was modified slightly with the installation of marble countertops and new whimsical light fixtures with frosted glass sculpted to resemble face cloths. The mirrors were framed, and crown and decorative molding were added. "The house didn't have any molding, so we put it in ourselves," adds Barbara.
The kitchen too, was a space that was given a fresh look with some added touches – new and extended countertops, tile and light fixtures including pendant lighting over the counter space that allows for bar stools. The extra seating is particularly handy when the Vachon's grandchildren – there are seven of them – pause their clamming adventures in the bay out back to refuel with a quick sandwich. Off the kitchen is the breakfast room, which the couple admits isn't the most widely used space in the home but is helpful when family is in town for an extended stay. With a rich coral wall color (called "Savannah"), dark wood furnishings and accent décor including a mounted brass porthole, the room makes for the perfect bar area when the couple entertains.
The kitchen blends seamlessly into the dining room and living room, both of which are made less formal with sisal rugs that define the separate spaces and add a touch of coastal flair. A set of the couple's chairs from their former home were reinvented with new upholstery, boasting an embroidered "V" design. Artwork by local talents grace the walls and a fireplace lends a cozy feel in spite of the 14-foot cathedral ceilings. Barbara explains that Glenn came with an assistant in tow one day and summoned most of their pieces to one space. Little by little, she explains, after he had fully evaluated their collection, everything found its new home. A large pair of patinaed ducks, for example, are now perched on the corner space at the edge of the master soaking tub. Barbara acknowledges it would have never occurred to her to put them there, but it works. "He just used our stuff differently," she says.
In the entry, wide-set stripes in alternating muted tones of yellow and white conjure up images of an elegant beach cabana while hand-stamped gold bumblebees add a fanciful touch – all Glenn's conception. A hand-painted compass rose on the ceiling that allows entrance into the main living space is a nod to the dramatic water views that await.
While the Vachons use most every space in the home, the area they may feel most at home in is the den. Grasscloth wall coverings in the color of the sea add a decidedly natural element while framed photos pepper the built-in bookshelves surrounding the second fireplace. Above the mantle, a television is mounted; it is not hard to imagine the family gathered around enjoying a drink and a good laugh.

Most people don't know how to use tabs properly. But tabs can be really powerful, especially if you are building a form or table of contents.
Below you see a simple form with the tab ruler above it. Select each tab and type an underscore in the "Leader" box. Whatever character you type in the "Leader" box will repeat all the way to the tab. The underscore becomes the lines on the form. Much quicker and more accurate than trying to draw the underlines yourself. And much, much easier to edit the form later.
If you are building a table of contents, you may want to have a dotted line from the end of the chapter name to the page number. Don't type a bunch of periods! Just set the "Leader" to a period. You can also use a right-justified tab to line up all your numbers correctly. Faster to build. Faster to edit.
Does anyone still use TIFF files?


Objective: There is a great recognition that store interiors and exteriors can be designed to create feelings in potential customers which can have an important reinforcing effect on purchase. In this study it is mainly aimed to explore the behaviors of the community pharmacists related to their store's physical environment. Also we aimed to determine whether any difference exist between behaviors of pharmacists serving in high and low socio-economic regions.
Methods: A total of 200 pharmacists that work socio-economically different regions were randomly selected from 1424 pharmacists registered in Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists. A uniform questionnaire was applied to the pharmacists by using a face-to-face interview technique.
Findings: There are differences in terms of behavior between the pharmacists serving in high and low socio-economic regions within the context of putting importance to their stores' atmosphere. More pharmacists attach importance to the physical sight of their pharmacy serving in high socio-economic regions (90%) vs. pharmacists in low socio-economic regions (70%). Also pharmacists in high socio-economic regions indicated higher importance level of selection of the decoration equipments (84%) than pharmacists serving in high socio-economic regions (60%).
Conclusion: Our study suggests that some pharmacists pay more attention to interior atmospheric elements and others do not. There is a difference in terms of attaching importance to some store atmospheric elements (i.e. physical site, decoration equipment, it's color, wall color, etc.) serving in high versus low socio-economic regions in this context.
There are numerous studies demonstrated that the physical atmosphere is important both for the employees and customers. Also for making good profits in various settings, the owners of the stores attach special importance to this subject. ,,,, On the other hand, the literature on pharmacy atmosphere is very limited, especially from the viewpoint of the pharmacist. In this context, there is a need to shed the light on this issue.
When approached from marketing perspective, community pharmacy is a business enterprise as well as being first port of call for general advice on medicines and health. , As a result, pharmacy atmospherics and its elements become important for community pharmacies as well. Also it is a fact that physical environment of a pharmacy is not only a major factor influencing its success but also a key element to create a store atmosphere which is pleasing and conducive to shopping.  Besides, Gagnon explored the factors that affect consumers' preferring a specific pharmacy. His study showed that as well as others "pharmacy atmospherics" is one of the most important factors when people decide to be a loyal customer of a specific pharmacy.  However, the community pharmacists behaviors and opinions about their pharmacy atmosphere, especially interior atmospherics elements, still stay as unrevealed topics.
Socioeconomic status is commonly conceptualized as the social standing or class of an individual or group. It is usually measured as a combination of education, income and occupation. In the light of this definition Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) has a list of the high, low and average socio-economic regions' list for every city in Turkey.
To our best of knowledge, there is not sufficient data on the physical atmosphere of the community pharmacies in terms of understanding how pharmacists act about their interior pharmacy atmospherics, to what extent they put emphasis on their pharmacies' interior atmospherics, what are the preferences of the pharmacists when they decide on their pharmacies' interior environment. By conducting this study, these issues will be explored. We also aimed to explore whether any difference will be observed in terms of the behaviors of pharmacists serving in high and low socio-economic regions as we hypothesized that the pharmacists serving in low socio-economic regions put less emphasize to their physical atmosphere of their stores.
This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive type study. There were 1424 community pharmacists registered in Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists just before conducting our study. Taking into account this number, a chi-square test power analysis was done. And due to the power analysis, a sample size of 183 participants achieved 80% power to detect an effect size of 0.23 using a 2 degrees of freedom chi-square test with a significance level (alpha) of 0.05.
Although the chi-square test power analysis showed us a sample size of 183 participants (pharmacists) will be sufficient for the study, we decided to include 100 pharmacists serving in high socio-economic regions and 100 pharmacists in low socio-economic regions of Ankara. TurkStat (Turkish Statistical Institute) which is located in Ankara has the list of the high- and low-socio-economic regions of Ankara. This list is obtained from this institution. On the other hand, Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists has the list of community pharmacies, the region of their location/address. We classified the pharmacies as serving low- and high-socioeconomic regions in the light of the TurkStat list.
A total of 200 pharmacists that work socio-economically different regions were randomly selected from 1424 pharmacists registered in Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists' List of Community Pharmacies.
A uniform and original questionnaire was designed by reviewing the related published literature on the topic of interest. The questionnaire contained mostly closed-ended questions with no scale. This questionnaire was pre-tested with 20 pharmacists who stayed out of our sample before the actual survey. Of these 20 pharmacists, 10 were serving in high socio-economic region and other 10 were serving in low socio-economic region. In the light of the pre-test, some revisions were made on the final questionnaire. The Cronbach's Alpha which measures the internal consistency was found to be 0.725. The actual survey was conducted with the community pharmacists between 5 October 2009 and 4 December 2009.
Letter of authority for the survey was taken both from Hacettepe University Ethics Committee and the Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists.
Data collection was carried out with the final revised questionnaire by the first author of this article using the face-to-face interview technique. Participation of the pharmacists to the survey was voluntarily.
There were 26 questions in the questionnaire. The first part of the questionnaire included questions about socio-demographic characteristics and the second part of the questionnaire inquired questions about the pharmacy's physical atmosphere characteristics.
After data collection, all analyses were performed using SPSS version 15.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL). The chi-square test was used for statistical evaluations.
Of all the interviewed pharmacists, 48 (24%) indicated that they are also the owner of his/her pharmacy's location, whereas 152 (76%) stated they are renters. The demographics of the pharmacists participated in the study are given in [Table 1].
When pharmacists were required to point out to what extent they give importance to their pharmacy's physical atmosphere (the physical sight, cleanliness, the selection of decoration equipment, the selection of the color of wall and color of decoration equipment) the followings were obtained [Table 2].
From [Table 2], it can easily be observed that over three fourth of all the pharmacists pay importance (very important/important) to their pharmacy's physical atmosphere.
According to the pharmacy's location (being in high or low socio-economic region), the pharmacists' appraisal of importance level of their pharmacies' physical sight can be seen in [Table 3]. By conducting the chi-square test, a significant difference between the behaviors of pharmacists serving in high and low socio-economic regions was found (χ2 = 14.12; P=0.004; P<0.05). Considerably more pharmacists attach importance to the physical sight of their pharmacy serving in high socio-economic regions (90%) vs. pharmacists serving in low socio-economic regions (70%).
Pharmacists' appraisal of importance level of their pharmacies' cleanliness in high and low socio-economic regions are compared. According to the chi-square test there was no significant difference between the behaviors of pharmacists working in high and low socio-economic regions (χ2 = 2.93; P=0.425; P>0.05). As a result over half of the pharmacists working in both high and low socio-economic regions stated that pharmacy's cleanliness is very important and important.
There was a statistically significant difference in the behavior of pharmacists in terms of selection of the decoration equipment (furniture/shelves) serving in high and low socio-economic regions [Table 4]. Pharmacists serving in high socio-economic regions indicated higher importance level of selection of the decoration equipments (84%) than pharmacists serving in low socio-economic regions (60%). For this physical interior element, none of the pharmacists indicated the "not at all important" option.
When the behaviors of pharmacists serving in high socio-economic regions compared with the ones serving in low socio-economic regions in terms of importance level of their pharmacies' selection of the color of wall and for decoration equipment a statistically significant difference was found [Table 5]. For this physical interior element none of the pharmacists expressed the "not at all important" option.
Another physical atmosphere element is "music in the pharmacy." Whether the pharmacists play music in their pharmacy and how often they play it were two other questions those were searched. There is not a significant difference between the pharmacists serving in high and low socio-economic regions in term of playing music. Slightly more than one fourth of the pharmacists from both regions stated that they never play music in their pharmacy. The rest of the pharmacists stated they play music in their pharmacy with different frequencies.
However there is a statistically significant difference between the pharmacists working in high and low socio-economic regions in terms of the type of the music they play in their pharmacy (χ2 = 7.99; P= 0.018; P<0.05). The preference of popular music in high and low socio-economic regions were 35 (47.2%) and 32 (47%), respectively. Of the 100 pharmacists serving in high socio-economic regions, 21 (29.2%) indicated that they prefer classical music in their pharmacy. However, only eight pharmacists (12.1%) in the low socio-economic regions prefer this type of music in their pharmacy.
The last physical atmosphere element inquired was use of "scent in the pharmacy." There was no statistically significant difference between the pharmacists serving in high and low socio-economic regions in terms of scent use in their pharmacy (χ2 = 1.2; P=0.878; P>0.05). The ones who never use scent put forward either their asthmatic patients or their staff (sometimes including themselves) as being allergic to scents for not using them.
Atmospheric music has been shown to influence customers in many ways such as: time spent, perceived waiting time, perceived event duration, product choice, desire to affiliate in buyer-seller transactions, perceptions of store staff, psychic costs, perceived monetary prices, perceived product, and service quality. , In our study, most of the pharmacists stated that they play music in their pharmacy too. There are studies showing that background music contributes to the customers' buying behavior in a positive way. ,,, But on the other hand, when music inside the store is too loud, this is a shopping irritant. And as a result of the loudness of the music the customer perceives the environment as unpleasant and tries to get out of the site quickly.  In our study, most of the pharmacists stated that they play music both for themselves and their staff and for the customers. Because of long working hours, music in the pharmacy may have an alleviating effect on the staff's job stress. And also music can arouse a relaxing effect in both customers and pharmacy staff. In this study, the type of music played in high socioeconomic region pharmacies differed from low socio-economic region pharmacies. Classical music was preferred more by the pharmacists serving in high socio-economic regions. This maybe the result of customers being more cultured and familiar with this type of music in those regions as well as pharmacy staff's own choice. However, there is evidence that slow music tempo stimulates cognitive activity. On the other hand, music tempo plays a role similar to that of the voice intensity. It arouses attention when other cognitive cues are either absent or reduced.  This may explain why the pop music preferred by the rest of the pharmacists serving both in high and low socio-economic regions.
Store atmosphere is a vast topic which includes not only interior elements but also exterior elements, store design, and point of purchase arrangements and tools. In our study, we only investigated some interior elements such as physical sight, colors, music, and scent. There is a need to evaluate other atmospheric elements as well. Also our study findings are limited to the answers provided by pharmacists. For instance, we did not make any observational study by completing a check list of the color of the pharmacy walls (whether they are green, red, etc.) or lighting (whether the lighting in the store is enough). There is a room for other studies which would investigate this topic in depth both from employee and customer/patient perspectives.
Our study suggests that there is a difference in terms of attaching importance to some store atmospheric elements (i.e. physical site, decoration equipment, its color, wall color, etc.) serving in high versus low socio-economic regions in this context. It is natural to see the differences in the behaviors of pharmacists'. But there is no doubt that using atmospheric elements with awareness will make employees and customers more loyal to a specific pharmacy.
We are grateful to the community pharmacists who participated in our survey and allocated their valuable time. Also we thank to the Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists.

The 6 Best Camping Lanterns of 2019
THE BEST CAMPING LANTERN OF 2019
Best LED Camping Lantern
AYL STARLIGHT
While not the brightest lantern in our round up, the AYL StarLight does a lot of things well across the board. With 600 lumens of brightness at it's highest setting, this should be more than adequate for the majority of activities that you would require it for. The StarLight comes with three different light modes; low, high and strobe and the manufacturers claim that even on high mode a fresh set of 3 D batteries should see it provide continous lighting for 6 full days.
The AYL Starlight also trends towards the lighter end of the spectrum in terms of weight; clocking in at a pretty welterweight 14 and a half ounces. Add to this, the fact it is shockproof, water resistant and comes with hooks on both ends for ease of hanging. Plus, you can unscrew the top to use it as a flashlight. Altogether, it's a pretty versatile and affordable camp lantern.
The one real downside to this lantern, is that the lithium batteries that power it do not work well in colder temperatures, meaning you may have to reach for an alternate light source.

COLEMAN NORTHSTAR
The Coleman Northstar is the brightest lantern in our review, with 1540 lumens of light. That's really super bright, and will illuminate a very large area on even the blackest of nights. The Northstar has a dimmer switch allowing you to turn up (or down) the brightness of the lantern and so conserve fuel (or not).
On the flip side, it also by far and away the heaviest lantern in our reivew, making it most suitable for car or RV camping. It also is fairly noisy, especially when it is set to one of the lower settings.

Best Budget Lantern
UCO MINI ULTRALIGHT
For the true minimalist, the UCO Mini Ultralight provides lighting at the most modest of weights. This lantern weights under 4 ounces and is about the size of a sleeve of golf balls meaning that it is going to take up no room in your pack. Perfect for thru hikers who want to travel light.
The lantern itself uses tea lights which can be found easily at a variety of stores and also very light and easy to carry around. The downsides to this lantern are of course that it can only produce a minimal amount of light, at around 12.5 lumens and a tea light will only provide that light for about 4 hours before it will need replacing.
Reviewed Camping Lanterns
'Let there be light,' goes the famous quote, and it refueling in a more heartfelt way than when it's dark out in the great outdoors. Fortunately for us, there are a wide variety of types of lanterns out there, so you can find one that fits your style. We've chosen six lanterns with different fuel types and features to help you find the perfect one for your needs.

While LED lanterns are remarkably popular, each camper has a different style and should tailor their equipment to suit their tastes and needs. Camping in freezing temperatures, LEDs won't function, and if it gets frigid, neither propane or butane will work well. Few backpackers want to deal with the weight of liquid-fuel lanterns and their fuel. Some want the latest high-tech gear, while others camp to get away from modern technology, and take a more traditional approach.

This is just one of the beauties of camping. There are almost as many different styles of camping as there are different terrains to camp in, so everybody gets to do it in their fashion. However, they like. Other people can tell you how a given piece of gear worked for them, and warn you about the drawbacks that they've found, but nobody can say what will suit you best.
Features to Consider when Choosing a Camping Lantern
If you mostly camp in the desert, water resistance won't be crucial, but if you're camping in the Pacific Northwest, it can be paramount. Car or RV campers won't worry much about size or weight, but size and weight are critical to backpackers. As the classic commercial puts it, have it your way. Just be sure that you have a great time doing it.
How much light a lantern provides is measured in lumens, instead of candlepower. 25 lumens is about 2 candlepower. How bright you'll want will depend on what you need light for; It doesn't take much to navigate obstacles around a campfire, but playing cards or reading will require more light. Lanterns that have adjustable brightness can be a valuable feature, but it's not always essential. As a point of reference, a 60-watt incandescent bulb produces about 800 lumens.
How long a lantern will run between refills, recharges, or battery replacement. Longer is better because it's not much fun changing batteries or refuelling without a light to see by. This may be of less importance if it's quick and easy to recharge, or if you have multiple light sources.
A lantern that can take a tumble without breaking is one less problem waiting to happen. This can be difficult to judge, so look for multiple reviews to help you find out if it's more fragile than it looks.

Rain happens, and you'll do better with a lamp that can shrug it off. Some lamps are even waterproof and will keep on running if they are submerged in shallow water.
Weight & Packed Size
This is much more important to backpackers than to people who are car camping. If you are hulking around all your gear on your back for miles, you'll appreciate less weight traded off more functionality or fuel/battery life.
Both fuel efficiency and relative cost of the fuel are at issue here. You can quickly judge this by comparing by how many hours you can use the lantern for a dollar's worth of fuel.
Convience
How easy is it to light the lantern? Is it simple to refuel? Is there an easy way to hang it from a branch or line? Is it possible to also use it to cook or keep food warm? Can it be used to recharge your phone or GPS? Can it also be used directionally, like a flashlight? Again, these questions may or may not be important depending on your planned usage.
Heat Output
While a heat source might be welcome in chilly weather or for cooking, it wants caution in handling and must be kept away from flammable materials and children. With a hot lantern, how stable and tip-resistant it is is a feature to look at.
Indoor Operation
Lanterns for camping can double as emergency lighting at home during a power outage, but some types are only safe with good ventilation.

Types of Camping Lantern
Liquid Fuel Camping Lanterns
Once the most common choice for lanterns, these burn a liquid fuel: white gas, unleaded gasoline, kerosene, oil or alcohol. For bright, warm light, they're hard to beat, but they do have some downsides. They tend to be bulky and heavy, the fuel is heavy, and they run hot. A heat source may be just the thing on a chilly night, but it comes along with a fire hazard - caution in handling them is essential, and they can ignite nearby or overhead materials, such as your tent.
A full lantern can usually be expected to last all night, but refilling does become an issue, and spills happen. Bring a funnel and extra mantles. The mantles are silk ash, and remarkably fragile once in use. The globes are often glass, which isn't particularly fragile but can break. In wet conditions, a bit of fuel can be used to start campfires, but caution is recommended. It is not safe to use these lanterns without ventilation.

Gas Tank Camping Lanterns
These use disposable tanks of pressurized gas for fuel, either propane or butane. These also use the fragile ash mantles, so carry spares. The fuel is no-mess but relatively heavy for backpackers, and more expensive than liquid fuel. Empty gas cylinders will need to be conducted to a proper disposal point. Propane tanks can be refilled, though it's only legal to refill tanks that are designed for it. Again, you'll want good ventilation while using these.
Electric Camping Lanterns
Incandescent and fluorescent bulbs ruled this category until LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps appeared, and now LEDs are clearly superior. There are several options for powering them, each with its foibles.
Alkaline batteries are relatively inexpensive, but can't be recharged, and do not survive temperatures lower than about 20° F. Lithium batteries are rechargeable, but cost more, and can destroy a device that's not made for them. Lithium batteries also don't perform well at temperatures below freezing.
Some lanterns don't have replaceable batteries and must be recharged, and duration becomes critical. Some can recharge themselves with solar panels, cranks, or both. Some have brightness controls so that the owner can balance illumination against duration. This type of lantern does not present a fire or burning hazard, and will generally be easiest to start. Some models will even have a USB port for recharging electronics. Self-charging or rechargeable lanterns or batteries are the most economical lanterns to operate.
Candle Backpacking Lanterns
These used to be a favorite choice for backpackers, because of their size and weight. Economical and environmentally friendly, their chief downside is brightness. One candle will only give you about 12.5 lumens. Some models hold multiple candles, but keep an eye on candle size requirements, as proprietary-sized candles can be expensive.
Carbide Camp Lanterns
Once very common, these are now rare, but can still be found. They work by trickling water onto calcium carbide, which produces acetylene gas, which burns to produce bright, white light. Brightness is adjusted by regulating the flow of water onto the calcium carbonate. Once highly favored by spelunkers and miners, they are lightweight and economical, but calcium carbide requires a waterproof container and is considered a hazardous material for shipping purposes.

LuminAID PackLite Nova Solar Inflatable Lantern
UCO Mini Ultralight Lantern for Tealight Candles
This LuminAID plastic lantern inflates to a cube, just under 5", is waterproof to 1 meter (it floats), and weighs only 5 ounces. It charges in 10 hours of direct sunlight but is not chargeable by any other means, so it's not the best choice for long trips if the weather turns overcast.
It has four brightness settings, delivering 75 lumens for 4 hours at the brightest, 7 hours on High, 14 hours on medium, 24 hours on low. It also has a flashing setting for 72 hours of emergency signaling. The adjustable strap that holds it flat (1" high) in your pack can also be used to hang it. It has a 4-level charge indicator.
Bottom line: Better for backpackers, overnight trips, or longer trips with a sunny weather forecast. Not as good for camping below freezing temperatures (lithium battery) or longer trips in cloudy weather. The best backpacking lantern & best rechargeable camping lantern.
Lightweight, inflatable, and portable
LEDs provide 75 lumens of light
Recharges fully in approximately 10 hours of direct sunlight
Provides 24 hours of continous light on low mode after a full charge

This battery-operated LED lantern is remarkably bright at 300 lumens (~600 in a half-circle with the included reflector), is water and shock resistant, and uses 3 D batteries. It is 4" x 4" x 7.2" and weighs in at 14.6 ounces (plus batteries). Installing the batteries is a bit tricky, and the battery cover is screw-on with a rubber seal.
It has a bail handle that folds compactly to the body on top, and another hook recessed into the base for hanging either way. With the top removed, it will serve as a spotlight. Using D batteries adds some weight, but significantly extends its duration; the manufacturer claims that it will run for six straight days with fresh batteries. It has a small green LED that blinks when the lantern is off, to make finding it in the dark easier.
Bottom line: Better for longer trips, and activities that want plenty of light. Not as good for freezing weather or weight-conscious backpackers.
Can provide up to 6 days of light on full power without replacing the batteries
Features three lighting modes: Low, High and Strobe
LED produces 600 lumens of light and will last 100,000 hours

The brightest lantern in this lineup, this single mantle propane lantern can produce up to 1540 lumens, lighting a large, multiple tent camp site pretty effectively, but using fuel pretty quickly. For lower lighting needs, it's adjustable, but occasionally noisy at the low end of the range, or when the fuel is getting low.
It comes with a folding stand to make it more stable on flat surfaces, or it can be hung by its bail handle. It uses a mantle that's new in design with quite a bit more surface area than older standard mantles, but can also use standard mantles in a pinch. Push-button ignition, which can be a bit startling if you turn the propane on and wait a few seconds before lighting it. The case is purchased separately and is recommended for protecting the glass globe. This lantern does put out a fair bit of heat, so keep it away from flammables and children.
Bottom line: Better for car and RV camping, winter camping, and activities where lighting a large area is desirable. Not as good where size, weight, or the noise would be a problem.
InstaStart™ Push-Button Ignition for matchless ignition
EverBrite™ Power for incredible light in any condition, anytime
PerfectFlow™ System for consistent fuel, no matter the conditions
High-temperature globe resists cracking from heat
Extra-bright 1543 lumens on high
Adjustable dimmer knob for the perfect outdoor light
43-hr. runtime on high or 9.25-hr. runtime on low using one 16.4-oz. (494 g) propane cylinder
Insta-Clip® Tube Mantles are easy to install
Brightest lantern in our review at 1540 lumens
Brightness can be adjusted
One start push button
Can be a little noisy on the lower fuel settings
Will heat up so not ideal around children
At a peak of 1107 lumens, the Coleman Premium Powerhouse Dual Fuel Lantern is plenty of light for most purposes, and it's adjustable for when you don't want that much light. At 7" x 7.8" x 15.6" and 4.5 pounds empty, this dual-mantle lantern is better suited to car or RV camping than taking along on a long hike.
You'll also want extra fuel along, though this will burn on high for 7 hours on one fill. They're not particularly difficult to light, but you do have to know how, so read the instructions. You can use unleaded gasoline, though the manufacturer claims that white gas is less prone to gumming it up. The mantles are less durable, so bringing along a spare set is recommended. It's also remarkably weatherproof, remaining lit in a torrential downpour.
Bottom line: Better for extreme cold, the cost-conscious, vehicle camping. Not as useful where weight is an issue, or for campers who don't want the potential mess of pouring gasoline.
Dual Fuel™ power, runs on Coleman® Liquid Fuel or unleaded gasoline
All-Season Strong™ fuel design for incredible light in frigid conditions
7-hr. runtime on high using one tank of fuel
Extra-bright 1,107 lumens on high
Extremely bright lantern that can illuminate large areas
Works well in cold weather
Easy to operate and refill
With only 7 hours on one tank you will need to bring extra fuel for longer trips

Weighing 3.5 ounces with candle, and 4" high, this is the lightest lantern in this list. One candlepower (12.5 lumens), of course, and a tealight candle will burn for about 4 hours. Made of aluminum, it has a glass windscreen and a bail handle that you can hang it from.Inside the tent in cold weather, it supplies about 450 BTU of heat, which is probably unwanted during uncomfortably hot weather.
A particular advantage of this style of candle lantern is that tealights are lightweight, compact, very inexpensive, and easily available from a wide variety of shops - kitchen, craft stores, and most department stores. If you prefer more light than this, these are small and light enough to pack several along.
Bottom line: Better for backpacking, primitive or minimalist camping, the frugal, and a romantic candlelight dinner. Not as good for those who want more light.
Extremely lightweight at only 3.5 ounces
Each tea light will burn for around 4 hours.
Packed it's about the same size as a sleeve of 3 golf balls.
Super lightweight and small packsize
Uses tea lights which are easy to find and light to pack
Very inexpensive to operate
Not particularly bright
Doesn't come with a hang chain
Back to table of contents...
The most traditional (if not downright old-fashioned) lantern in this list, this will produce 55 lumens and burn for 26 hours on one fill. 15" tall and weighing 2.1 pounds empty, this lantern became famous for working in any weather, and Dietz lanterns are famous for being rugged and tip-resistant.
These will burn kerosene, but liquid paraffin is almost odor-free and works well, too. There will be occasional episodes of wick-trimming and globe-cleaning. This has a bail handle and a top ring for hanging. This is easy to light, famously reliable, and almost fail-safe. The globe can break, but that's not a common occurrence, and a spare would be more at risk.
Bottom line: Better for those who want a distinctive look in a campground, who want liquid-fuel lighting that's less volatile than gasoline, and those who prefer an easier, low-tech approach. Not as good for backpacking or those who want brighter light.
Burns for 26 hours on 31 ounces of kerosene
Produces 55 lumens of light
Weighs 33 ounces (without fuel)
7/8 inch wick
Very durable
Stays lit for up to 26 hours on just one refill of fuel
Looks great if you love that traditional look
Very easy to refill
Weak globe lift lever
Prone to rusting if not properly maintained.

An honorary degree is one of the most significant forms of recognition awarded by the College. Recipients should serve as an inspiration to members of the campus community and bring honor to the College.
Recipients are people whose accomplishments reflect the character, values, and mission of Lafayette College. The Honorary Degree Policy provides guidelines for procedures for granting honorary degrees.
Nominate a Honorary Degree Recipient or Commencement Speaker
Nominee must be nominated by a member of the Lafayette College community.
Honorary degree nominee's accomplishments should reflect the scholarly, curricular, or co-curricular interests and activities of the College.
Three to five honorary degrees will be awarded each year at the May Commencement. If circumstances warrant, however, honorary degrees may be awarded at special programs throughout the year upon approval of the Board of Trustees.
Nominations are confidential and should not be discussed with nominees. Nominators will not receive notification of the status of their recommendations.
Honorary degree recipients, unless also serving as the commencement speaker, will not receive payment or honoraria.
Honorary degree nominees should not be awarded to a faculty or staff member employed by the College.
The Committee should use discretion when considering candidates running for elected office.
Philanthropic support of the College is not by itself an accomplishment warranting an honorary degree.
Nominations must be submitted through the President's Office or (insert link to be created) for consideration and should include a brief summary of the nominee's accomplishments, a statement on why the person should be considered for an honorary degree from the College, and indicate any connection to Lafayette College. Nominator should include their own name, contact information and relationship to the College.
The Presidential Advisory Committee on Commencement, comprised of the President, faculty, students, administrators, and a member of the Board of Trustees, reviews nominations and makes recommendations regarding honorary degree candidates to the Board of Trustees for final approval.
The Communications Division reviews publically available data to ensure a full understanding of the nominee's background and accomplishments.
The President presents the honorary degree candidates to the Board of Trustees who vote to approve each nominee.
Upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the President's Office will contact each approved honorary degree candidate to ascertain their interest and, if available, coordinate logistics for the honorary degree recipient to come to campus for Commencement activities.
Normally an honorary degree is conferred only when the recipient is present at commencement.
Every effort will be made to ensure that the nomination and selection process remains confidential.
The College will make no public announcement of degree recipients until nominees are notified and have indicated their willingness to accept the honorary degree.
The College may award an honorary degree to an approved nominee within two years of the Board's initial approval in such instances where the nominee is unable to participate in Commencement activities in the year approved.

The President: OECD encourages Lithuania to accelerate the implementation of the welfare state objectives
President Gitanas Nausėda and Secretary General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Jose Angel Gurria discussed the OECD Economic Survey of Lithuania focusing on the analysis of Lithuania's social and economic situation and identifying challenging areas. The OECD study addresses management the COVID-19 crisis, Lithuania's education, social exclusion, loan problems, lack and quality of public investment, lack of local coordination and the green economy.
"This study comes at a very opportune time when Lithuania is going through the change of government and fighting the spread of the pandemic. The insights of the survey can be of great use to the new government to prepare both the Government's program and its implementation plan", the President said.
The findings and recommendations echoed the goals of the vision for the welfare state presented by the President in October. The President had emphasized that he wanted to see a strong, fair, green and innovative Lithuania that could effectively tackle social exclusion, income inequality, flawed tax system and difficulties in the education system.
"The OECD survey confirmed that Lithuania needed economic and social transformation, starting with the education system. The focus on education is at the heart of my welfare state, and I started the implementation by proposing a legislative package for Equal Starting Opportunities to ensure equal access to education in early childhood", said the President reminding that in ten-years he expected the quality of education in Lithuania to be among the twenty best-rated in the world.
The President's vision of the welfare state identified the need to increase public investment through a rigorous cost-benefit analysis, and this need is reiterated in the recommendations of the OECD survey as a means of improving economic situation in the country. According to the President, 14.5 billion euros of EU investment negotiated in July is an unprecedented opportunity to achieve this goal as well as a way to achieve a breakthrough in innovation and development of green economy.
The President also welcomed the OECD recommendation to promote regional convergence. In the President's view, the memorandum signed by all political parties in September on strengthening of financial independence of regions was the beginning of major regional changes, and the next-generation EU investments opened vast opportunities for municipalities to invest in smart city and smart region solutions.
President Nausėda and OECD Secretary General Gurria also discussed the idea of the Lithuanian national promotional bank. The aim of consolidating the existing public funding institutions in Lithuania to make financial services more accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises, including in times of crisis, is also addressed in the OECD survey.
"I fully agree with the findings of the OECD survey stating economic benefits of secure promotional banks or strategic funds. These institutions would facilitate the implementation of Lithuania's long-term development strategy and provide credit to innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as enable effective use of opportunities provided by The Recovery and Resilience Facility of the EU. This can lead to a reinvestment cycle with long-term benefits", the President said.
The OECD survey showed that the growth rate of retirement pensions in Lithuania is less than 50 percent and well below the OECD average. The President reminded of the initiatives aimed at increasing pensions and well-being of low-income workers.
Concluding the conversation with the Secretary General of the OECD, the President emphasized that for reforms to succeed, Lithuania needed not only to ensure the quality of the process and strengthen analytical capacity in the public sector but also to enhance social dialogue, citizen involvement and access to public data.
The online launch of the OECD Economic Survey of Lithuania was attended by Minister of Finance Vilius Šapoka, leader of the Freedom Party Aušrinė Armonaitė and public policy expert Vitalis Nakrošis.

Our October 2015 Focused Discussion was on the topic:Telling the kids.
Telling the kids is always a challenging discussion between a husband and wife. Sometimes the wife fears telling the children, (no matter how old they are), will damage or hurt them, while the husband is ready to be known fully buy his children. In other situations the wife wants the 'truth' to be known by the family before the husband is ready. In any scenario, it is never clear how the children will react.
When is the right time to come out to the kids?
Is there an "ideal" age?
Are there preconditions to effectively discus my sexuality with my children?
How do I prepare for the conversation?
What work do I need to do on my own?
What role does my spouse have in my coming out to the kids?
After coming out, then what?
Managing the risk of being pushed back into the closet; how do I continue to share my life with my kids?
Does my coming out affect my role as a father and my position I the family? how? My kids and my dates? my kids and my boy friend; my kids and my partner -- challenges and opportunities in both directions.
Are you proud of who you are as a gay or bisexual man or ashamed? How will this color the conversation with your children?
Did you raise your children to be tolerant and accepting of diversity and difference or did you raise them to hate different? Will this color how they react?
Where does religion play a part in how your child will react? Was your child raised in a tolerant religion or one that hates homosexuality?

Who made the Berlin wall fall?
Pubblicato : 11/11/2019 17:29:21
Categorie : Events ,	Powertrack news
Italy and Japan free Berlin from the wall which divide the German capital city in two from too many years. Even if officially the demolition of the death wall would have been started on the 13th June 1990, during the night of the 9th November 1989 tens of thousands of Germans came along the Berlin wall armed with bars, sticks, bats, pickaxes, in order to tear it down and finally put the city together again.
During 1989 the German Democratic Republic changed the laws for issuing permits to pass through the wall, as the migration flow was now out of control due to the very poor state of the partition wall. In Berlin the point of no return was reached thanks to the imprecise reply of the spokesman of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, given during the press conference of November 9, 1989, with which the misinformed Günter Schabowski confirms to the pressing Italian journalist of Ansa Riccardo Ehrman, that the new rules on emigration are to be considered valid from that precise moment.
The poor and non-detailed information provided to the party representative and the fateful question posed by the journalist Ehrman 'Ab Wann? (From when?) referring to the entry into force of the new regulations on emigration and immigration, have allowed the immediate passage through the gates already present in the wall without any checks being carried out by the police.
The actual removal of the Berlin Wall took place in the following months, when Takeuchi branded tracked construction vehicles started working to remove the barriers between east and west of the German capital. It was during these works that the Japanese manufacturer of crawler excavators, founded in 1963, was put in the spotlight all over the world and gained an excellent worldwide reputation.

I love Jazz. If you were to invade my iTunes collection and multiple shelves of CDs down in the basement, you would discover a predominance of the genre that emerged in the late 19th Century and continues to explore uncharted musical territory over a hundred years later.
Jazz has held a place in the hearts of music aficionados in Fort McMurray for years thanks to advocates and players like Mike Eddy, Mike Durocher, Dan Gillies, Bill Prouten, Jim Brennan (going back a decade), and many others. Brent Lawson, music instructor at Father Mercredi High School continues to engender a love of music and particularly, Jazz. His students are working hard to raise funds to go the birthplace of jazz, The Big Easy, or N'arlins, as they say down south.
What better way to raise money for a musically infused adventure than by making music. The good guys of Sentimental Gentlemen are teaming up with The Veins to put on an evening of music on February 20th at Father Merc.
Sentimental Gentlemen, consisting of Joe Howes, Mackenzie Walas, Rob Eustis, and Jeremy Connell, have been on the rise for a number of years. They are a seasoned ensemble, dedicated to their craft, and eager to give back to the upcoming generation of players.
The Veins (Francesco Rizzuto, Aarin Lofstrand and Michael Reid) are Father Merc students who like to rock out, and are equally dedicated to their craft. I wrote a piece about a garage concert they put on last year that you can read by clicking here.
It is so easy to stay home, slip on a pair of headphones, and listen to music from the comfort of your own easy chair and personalized collection. But as advocates and believers in the value of the arts, music, and live performance, we need to rise up out of our chairs and go and support these students. We'll hear music that is fresh, fun, and real. We need to savour the flavour of the live music experience, share it with our children, and cheer on the hundreds of artists working on their skills.
Tickets for this stellar concert are only $5 in advance, and available at KAZAAM and Campbell's Music. Tickets at the door will be $10. So, I encourage you to grab your calendar, and commit to giving yourself a fantastic evening of live music as we help the Father Mercredi Jazz Band get to New Orleans.

Comedy Premium League Netflix: What is The Show About?
by Ritik Upadhyay
in Netflix
Comedy Premium League
Netflix has also joined the list of Amazon Prime's "Comicstaan" by coming out with "Comedy Premium League." The streaming giant did not want to miss out on the opportunity of a celebrity game show. In addition to that, the decision-makers at Netflix have tried to target millions of viewers at the same time. But the question is, how did they do that? The first answer is that Netflix already has a huge number of subscribers in India that already covers up that number of viewers. On the other hand, the streaming giant has brought in most of the famous and well-known influencers and comics altogether in one show.
These influencers have a huge fanbase of their own that would come to Netflix to watch them perform. However, even if a small number of those followers come to watch their favorite influencers, it is a big win for Netflix. Although, what is this show really about? Well, as we said, it is like Amazon Prime's "Comicstaan," where the comedians take a jibe at each other with their jokes. But what is different with Netflix is that there are both influencers and stand-up comedians on this show. Some popular names among them include Prajakta Kohli, Tanmay Bhat, Mallika Dua, Amit Tandon, Rohan Joshi, and many more. "Comedy Premium League" has created a lot of buzz on social media platforms and the internet, so let us go ahead and find out the release date and more about the show.
Comedy Premium League: When Is The Netflix Show Releasing?
The latest celebrity game show from Netflix India has caught the attention of the viewers. "Comedy Premium League" has been released on Netflix on 20th August 2021. In addition to that, all six episodes have been released altogether. The show has the concept of all these comics and influencers competing with each other. They tell jokes or come up with instant replies to the roasts from their fellow competitors.

The game will include various types of formats for these members to take part in. There will be stand-ups, improv, different types of comic presentations, skits, roasting each other, and more. In addition to that, a small bunch of audience present as the crowd that will judge them for their performances. Furthermore, all of these participating members will be divided into four teams, and those teams will compete with each other.
The popular influencer Prajakta Kohli is hosting the celebrity game show. She has worked in various YouTube videos and popular web series. However, her major highlight is her YouTube career. She runs her channel by the name "Mostly Sane," which has a lot of subscribers, 6.32 million subscribers to be exact as of now. Then there is another famous name Tanmay Bhat who is also famous among the YouTube community and elsewhere too. There are other comics and influencers like the popular comic, writer, and actress Mallika Dua, Kenny Sebastian, who is also a stand-up and musician. A total of sixteen members will be a part of "Comedy Premium League."

Is "Comedy Premium League" Worth The Watch?
Ever since Netflix has released the celebrity game show, there has been a lot of discussions. The viewers of the show have given their verdict on the internet and other review sites. "Comedy Premium League" did create a lot of buzz by bringing in the popular faces together. However, the buzz that was created turned out to be all for the wrong reasons. Since the show has arrived on Netflix, it has been receiving mostly negative feedback.
The show seems to have failed in fulfilling the expectations of the audience. Many fans have even gone on to say that the show seems like just a money-making source. "Comedy Premium League" is currently rated at 4.2 out of 10 on IMDB as of now. However, the ones that have been rated are in a very small number to get to a conclusion.
A still from "Comedy Premium League."
But most of the critics have also been disappointed with the show and have said that the show has nothing much to offer. Although, it is still very early to judge the show based on a few numbers in comparison to a million viewers that would have watched the show. We might get a better picture about the reception of the show when there is some news about a second season. But one cannot deny the fact that Netflix might have still made its profits even if the fraction of those followers would have watched the series.

If you run a launderette or cleaning business, you know the importance of giving a first class service every time.
Most of the time, everything will go nicely - garments spotless, happy customers. When things don't go smoothly however, having the right insurance in place can help protect you against unwanted compensation costs and legal fees.
As a laundry or cleaning business, you might want to consider a number of different types of insurance depending on the size and complexity of your business.
To start with, there are two different types of liability insurance for you to think about.
Owning a laundry business means you'll have people coming and going, washing and drying their clothes. What if someone was to slip on a wet floor and hurt themselves or burn themselves on a hot machine you left unattended? Public Liability can help to protect you against the cost of claims resulting from these sort of events. This insurance can help cover you against compensation claims should a member of the public accidentally injure themselves due to your negligence at work.
As a laundry and cleaning businesses you may also need special extensions to your standard public liability cover, especially to protect yourself against damage caused to clothing and property in your care. If in doubt, speak with your insurance provider to ensure you have an adequate policy in place.
The other type of liability cover is employers' liability insurance. This is a compulsory form of insurance for anyone that employs staff. It can help protect you against the cost of claims should those employees hurt themselves or become ill due to work they carried out for you.
What other insurance you may need?
As a laundry or cleaning business you're also likely to have a number of pieces of specialist equipment. Damage to these could seriously impede your business and given the expensive replacement cost, it's worth making sure that your machinery and general contents are covered for loss or damage from a range of perils, including fire, flood and theft.
Finally, if you offer collection or home delivery as part of your service, you'll need to consider goods in transit cover as well as commercial vehicle. Most standard vehicle policies wouldn't cover items in transit should they become damaged in an accident, which could leave you footing a sizeable bill.
Your first step should always be to try and limit the chance of problems in the first place. We know this sounds obvious and we also know that accidents do happen.
Having good business and health and safety procedures, staff training, garment tracking systems and such like can all help you reduce the chance of an error.
The second important thing to do is to take out adequate insurance to make sure you and your business are protected.
Finding competitive liability insurance isn't complicated. In fact, you can do it right here, right now. Use our public liability or employers' liability comparison services to find the right deal for you or fill out the professional indemnity enquiry form and someone will call you back to discuss your needs. Help protect your business with comprehensive liability insurance. Compare with us today.
