Anyone who lives with T1D knows a few things about overcoming obstacles. But not all obstacles are equal. Consider the story of Eva Saxl, the diabetes legend who made her own insulin — yes, I said made her own insulin — during World War II to survive, showcasing the power of human innovation under the most dire circumstances.
Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Eva was 19 years old in 1940. Her native country was under Nazi occupation. As war continued to rage across Europe and Jewish persecution mounted, Eva and her husband, Victor, both of whom were Jewish, fled by boat, settling in Shanghai after traveling across the Suez Canal to China.
While working as an English teacher in China, Eva began to experience severe and frequent thirst and was diagnosed with T1D. After collapsing at the dinner table one night, she was put on an insulin regime.
Her condition was completely manageable at first — T1D patients had been living healthy lives with insulin regulation since the mid-1920s. Furthermore, she had work, access to medical care, and a support system. That all changed after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Saxl and her fellow residents in the Jewish ghetto watched as the Japanese tightened their occupation of China. All Shanghai pharmacies were closed. Suddenly they were without access to insulin.
Many turned to the black market to survive, but Eva wasn't about to stand for those risks. After seeing a friend die from injecting contaminated black-market insulin, Eva managed to get a copy of "Beckman's Internal Medicine." The book gave a detailed account of the methods Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best — the Canadians who first discovered insulin and recognized the peptide's ability to regulate blood sugar — used to extract and purify insulin from dog, calf, and cow pancreata in 1921. Eva and Victor suddenly had their answer. And it was a radical one at that. They would follow Banting and Best. They would learn to make their own insulin.
Without access to dogs, calves, or cows, Eva knit stockings and sold them to purchase water buffalo pancreata. Then, in a small basement laboratory in a Chinese municipal building, the couple got to work. After months of trial and error they were able to produce brown-colored insulin, a far cry from the clear, laboratory-derived insulin they were used to. The risks were myriad. The pancreata could have been contaminated with bacteria. There was no way to test the extracted insulin's potency. What if it caused infection? What if it induced hypoglycemia?
With limited means and tools, a controlled test was their only chance. The Saxls divided rabbits into two groups. They injected one group with their extracted insulin and one group with Eva's pharmaceutical insulin. Then they watched to see if the two groups experienced the same blood sugar reactions and symptoms. After running tests on rabbits for more than a year, Eva was running out of conventional insulin. Without any other options, she tried her home-brew on herself. It worked.
Victor immediately administered the insulin to two local diabetics close to death. Both survived. And the Saxls went on to start an insulin clinic at a nearby hospital. They were only able to give patients 16 units of insulin a day. But it was enough to keep an estimated 400 people alive until American soldiers liberated the Shanghai ghetto in 1945.
Under the grimmest circumstances, Eva Saxl found an answer. Between 1941 and 1945, the years she was doling out her home-brewed concoction, not a single death was reported in the Shanghai ghetto from tainted insulin. The Saxls left China for New York City shortly after the liberation. Their efforts had made them famous, and for years Eva was a leading diabetes spokesperson who worked doggedly through her lifetime to inform the public and erase stigmas around T1D.

The Royal Thai Navy is begining rehearsals for a royal barge procession, the royal kathin ceremony, on November 9.
The procession will start from Rama VIII Bridge (Vasukri Pier) and go down the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun Ratchawararam, or Temple of Dawn, in the ceremony marking the end of Buddhist Lent. The procession, which is also to celebrate the 84th birthday of His Majesty the King on Dec 5, will occur between 3pm amd 5pm on Nov 9.
Navy chief Surasak Rounroengrom said a fleet of 52 traditional barges and 2,200 oarsmen will participate in the procession.
Eight small rehearsals will be carried out from Sept 21 to Oct 29 and two grand rehearsals on Nov 2 and Nov 6.
Adm Surasak said the navy is coordinating with the Royal Irrigation Department on water management as the river current will impact the procession. So far there was no suggestion of a problem.
Will it go near Saphan Thaksin?
No idea, map of Saphan Taksin if that helps.

BANGKOK (Reuters) – Golden barges shaped like swans and mythical sea creatures glided down the Chao Phraya river that winds through the Thai capital of Bangkok on Friday in a 700-year-old ceremony, with more than 2,000 rowers taking part.
The Royal Barge Procession, held for the first time in five years and presided over by Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, emphasizes the importance of water to the people of Thailand.�Water has historically been a lifeline for Thais and expressions such as "nam jai", which translates as "water of the heart" or "kindness," highlight this.
"Tears roll down from my eyes when I watch the procession because it really is something extraordinary to behold," said Kanjana Kamsongsee, 59, a hospital administrator who watched.
The ancient procession, featuring 52 exquisitely crafted golden barges draped with strings of jasmine, was revived by Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1960 after a lapse of several decades and takes place at the end of Buddhist Lent, with robes presented to Buddhist monks as part of the event.
It was last held in 2007 to celebrate the king's 80th birthday, with the crown prince presiding as he also did on Friday. King Bhumibol has been in hospital recovering from an illness since September 2009.
Last year, Thailand was hit by its worst floods in half a century, with water submerging entire towns and villages, forcing the event's cancellation.
As the barges made their one hour journey down the river, 2,200 oarsmen dressed in ornate costumes – Thai navy sailors in reality – rowed in synchronized movements to the sound of chanting, passing iconic landmarks such as Wat Arun, the porcelain-encrusted Temple of Dawn.

Book Excerpt - Barolo MGA Vol. I: The Barolo Great Vineyard Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition
BY ALESSANDRO MASNAGHETTI | SEPTEMBER 17, 2018
As all those who have the first edition of this book know very well, apropos of this question, I had written words which were rather clear: "As far as the different character and personality which Barolo can assume on the basis of the soils is concerned, the pairings Tortoniano/elegance and Serravalian/power, often to be found in the literature dealing with the zone, are to be considered, in my opinion, simplistic, even an outright fallacy. And, to perceive this, it is sufficient to compare a Barolo Brunate with a Barolo Monvigliero, both part of the Sant'Agata Fossili marls, or a Barolo Villero with a Barolo Rocche di Castiglione, both representative of the Diano Sandstones." Since then, although it is true that my opinion has not changed, it is equally true that I have had many requests for a more in-depth treatment, and equally frequent have been the occasions in which I have personally verified how much confusion reigns in this matter both among professionals in the field and wine lovers. For this reason, much assisted by the sup-port of two respected professionals such as Edmondo Bonelli for the geological questions and Gian Piero Romana for viticultural matters, in addition to Francesco Dellisanti for the mineralogical aspects, I decided to accept the challenge which they themselves proposed to me and produce a document which – thanks to their scientific contribution and my journalistic and editorial "filter" – would attempt an unambiguous, easily comprehensible, and, to the maximum extent possible, complete description of the complex geology of the Barolo production zone.
The geo-viticultural map of the Barolo DOCG appellation (bottom left) and the geo-viticultural maps of La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Verduno and Castiglione Falletto
Given the task of confronting a question as complex as the geology of the Barolo production zone, the best thing to do is to proceed gradually, placing the accent from time to time on the most significant aspects and attempting to clarify, with simplicity, certain concepts too often taken for granted. First and foremost, what today we can see and admire was once the floor of the Ligurian-Piedmontese Tertiary Basin, or that arm of the sea which, during the Miocene, covered a good part of current day Piedmont with the exception of the Alpine chain and the Ligurian Apennines. Consequently, all of the geological formations which we will be analyzing, and a good part of the soils associated to them, are of sedimentary marine origin. From an analytic point of view, two parameters are of particular significance when we confront them with other viticultural zones: the pH and the percentage of active lim. The first, normally between 7.7 and 8.3, identifies soils as alcaline or sub-alcaline or, more generally, basic (in Alto Piemonte, where the cultivation of Nebbiolo has a similar tradition as does, moreover, Lombardy's Valtellina, the soils, instead, are acid with pH values even much below 6).
Map of the geo-site
As far as values in active lime are concerned, they normally range from 7% to 12% and are to be considered significant however not as characterizing as they are in other viticultural areas (e.g. in Champagne). If the sedimentary marine origin represents the geo-logical basis of these various formations, the epochs in which they originated are various and successive in time (each of which is defined technically a stage, e.g. Tortonian, Serravallian etc.). Different stages imply different lapses of time and different manners of sedimentation, and consequently differences which are also substantial in the physical and chemical characteristics of the individual formations. The oldest (the Lequio Formation), formed when the Ligurian-Piedmontese Tertiary Basin was deeper, is characterized, for example, with greater frequency by coarse particles strata, while the younger ones (the Sant'Agata Fossili Marls), formed when the basin was in the process of disappearing, have instead finer textures in that the sedimentation took place in calmer and shallower waters (even if, apropos of this, as we shall see further on, there are no lack of exceptions). Given this premise, and if nothing else had occurred, the older formations would be located to-day in the deepest strata of the sub-soil and would therefore result as being invisible and irrelevant, Quite to the contrary, the movement of the earth's crust over millions of years has caused a progressive sinking towards the northwest of the entire area and the contemporary emersion towards the southeast of the oldest and deepest strata. It is no accident, accordingly, that, proceeding from west to east, the various formations can be found in perfect chronological order, from the youngest to the oldest, as can be seen from the sketch in the previous page.

The Formations – An Introduction
Given that various key terms such as sandstone, marl, and formation have already been used, and will be even more utilized in the next pages, it is a good idea to clarify them immediately and explain their meaning in the simplest way possible. Beginning with sandstone, this term is intended to describe a rock composed principally by sand. Sand which can remain loose or solidify and therefore be-come hard, forming in this way compact rocky strata which are locally called "Pietra di Langa" (Langa Stone). In its most classic – or, perhaps better, ideal – form, sandstone is composed by alternating strata of sand and Pietra di Langa, whose thickness, in the case of the Arenarie di Diano (the Diano Sandstones) which most interest us, can vary from somewhat less than a foot to several meters in the case of the strata of sand and from four to eight inches in the case of the Pietra di Langa strata. The term marl, instead, intends to describe a softer rock which, in the Langhe area, is composed principally by silt and clay and, to a lesser and variable extent, sand and calcium carbonate. These elements, mixed among themselves, then consist of strata of variable thickness which range from a few fractions of an inch (millimeters) to something less than a foot. It is no less important, in addition, to clarify what is meant by formation. This term, in geology, indicates in fact an ensemble of strata which are more or less homogeneous in terms of their geological characteristics and accordingly distinguishable from adjacent ones. The names of these formations often derive from the spot where they come to the surface in a particularly representative way and where they were first studied (Diano d'Alba, Lequio Berria, etc.).
Turning now more specifically to the Barolo production zone, the various formations which can be identified within its confines and which we shall shortly examine in a more detailed way, are not of the same importance, at least in terms of the area they cover. Analyzing, in fact, the map on page 13, it can be noted that the most common of these formations are the Sant'Agata Fossili Marls. On the basis of the relative importance of their various components, we can distinguish in the interior of these marls the clayey marls or laminated marls, the sandy marls and the loamy or typical marls. In terms of importance, they are followed by the Lequio Formation and the Diano Sandstones, even if this last formation, often isolated in the highest parts of the ridges, turns out to be on average less planted to vine. The Cassano Spinola Formation, instead, is similar in terms of extension to the Lequio Formation, while it differs not only in terms of age and composition but also for the lesser steepness of its hillside slopes. Gradually more marginal are the Vena del Gesso (Gypsum or Chalck Vein) Formation, the La Morra Conglomerates, and the Pliocene Marls.
The crus (MGAs) and their geology (summary table)
No less interesting to underline is the fact that each formation can be linked to a specific hillshape, tied in its turn to the different type of erosion which takes place in each formation. The Sant'Agata Fos-sili marls, characterized by finer sediments, create a gentler and more rounded landscape whereas the Diano Sandstones, normally easier to erode, can be associated with steeper slopes, at times authentic cliffs known locally as "rocche". An intermediate shape be-tween these two, both in terms of characteristics and landscape, is that generated by the Lequio Formation. Another typical aspect of the landscape of the Langhe is the asymmetrical structure of the hills, which generally present a steeper side (scarp slope) and a softer side (dip slope), which, as we shall see further on, has an important impact on the type of soils to be found. This same structure, then, influences the incidence of landslides. The dip slopes are subject to deep and significant landslides, the scarp slopes to frequent superficial landslides of lesser ex-tension, often tied to sandy strata which cause water to rise from the deeper hillside strata.
The single crus (MGAs) and their owners, parcel by parcel, updated to 2018
The 2nd edition of Barolo MGA, The Barolo Great Vineyard Encyclopedia is the result of a quarter century of study, unlocking the mysteries of why Barolo's soil produces such profound wines. Representing an incredible 11 years of work, it demands a place in the library of anyone who loves Barolo. And that includes owners of the 1st edition.
Barolo MGA includes more than 200 3-D images of the region's vineyards; in-depth analyses of the individual communes; 170 fact sheets on each cru and a directory (with contact information) of growers and producers. In addition, a glossary demystifies over 750 place names, brand names and historic zones. Just one edition is being published, with text in both Italian and English.

Adam Patrick Bell to join Western as Associate Professor of Music Education
It is with great excitement that we announce the appointment of Dr. Adam Patrick Bell as Associate Professor of Music Education in the Don Wright Faculty of Music. Dr. Bell will start working at Western University in July and will be nominated by Western for a Canada Research Chair (CRC) position in the Fall.
Dr. Bell is a prolific scholar whose career has been marked by a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization, and in particular, disability justice. His primary research focus lies in the confluence of music, disability studies, and technology, and his background as a music producer and multi-instrumentalist (drum kit, guitar, bass, electronics) informs his scholarship examining accessible ways of making music with technology. Since 2017, Dr. Bell has received four SSHRC grants as a Principal Investigator to support his research on disability-led music-making communities and designing accessible musical instruments.
Dr. Bell comes to us from the School of Creative and Performing Arts at the University of Calgary, where he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in music education, music technology, popular music, and research methods. He also served as co-chair of the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization Committee, where he co-authored the School's Action Plan to combat racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination. He is the author of The Music Technology Cookbook: Ready-Made Recipes for the Classroom, and Dawn of the DAW: The Studio As Musical Instrument, both published by Oxford University Press. Dr. Bell's engagement in research areas that cross our three departments will allow him to help us move in exciting new research directions as a faculty.
We thank the members of the CRC Search Committee for their significant work bringing about this important hire for our faculty, as well as the members of the various Music Education committees involved in the process.
Michael Kim, Dean of Music
Kevin Watson, Chair, Music Education Department
Emily Abrams Ansari, Chair of the Search Committee for the CRC in Music, Equity, and Social Justice

For many people, the decision to seek counseling is not an easy one. I understand that difficulty. I have struggled with it myself. I take great pride in helping people find the happiness and peace they deserve, The first step is to call my office at 217.224-5273. If I am in session, please leave your name, number and a brief message on my confidential voicemail. I will return your call that day.
In our first conversation, we'll discuss your counseling needs, my fees and payment options, set an appointment and I'll ask for some basic demographic information. On the day of the appointment, we will complete basic paperwork in the session together. This takes about 10 minutes…and then we'll start talking.
Most therapy sessions are in person, in the privacy of my office.
Most sessions are one hour in length. I will, however, schedule two hour sessions as the need arises and as requested.
What if I have a crisis between sessions?
If it is an emergency, call me.
At the time of your first appointment, I will give you my cell number. If you lose that number, call my office and my cell is on my answering machine message. If it is an emergency, call me. I don't charge for the first 20 minutes of such calls. Typically, I find that within 20 minutes, a solution can be discovered that will hold you until the next day or your next appointment time.
Are you a doctor and/or prescribe medications?
No, I am not a physician and do not prescribe medications but I can and will refer you to a physician if you/I feel this is needed. I will also work with your physician if they have referred you for counseling or if your counseling is part of a larger medical treatment plan your doctor has recommended for you. In such cases, typically, I inform them of your participation after your first appointment and every two months thereafter.

Biggest idiot on a ladder crowned by Ladder Association after public vote
What better way to kick off the New Year than to show you an image that as well as giving you a laugh should help ensure that you take ladder safety more seriously throughout 2013 and beyond?
After three months of picture submissions and voting, the UK Ladder Association's global 'Idiots on Ladders' campaign has discovered the biggest 'ladder idiot'.
Beginning on 1st September, the Ladder Association welcomed submissions from the public of the worst uses of ladders they could find. The competition, which aimed to shame dangerous ladder users into changing their ways, then offered people the chance to vote on Facebook to decide which picture was the worst. Entries came from as far away as Mexico but the clear winner, with over 30% of the vote, was of a UK worker. It showed him reaching up to the top of a chimney with a gaping fall directly below him. Not only could the fall have killed him, but one commenter pointed out that his ladder still did not reach high enough to keep him from stretching upwards.
To top the situation off, he also had a bucket wedged between the ladder and the wall it was resting against. The Ladder Association is now looking into the background of the picture in an attempt to identify the man and offer him the training he obviously needs - assuming he has survived to benefit from it.
In second place came a picture taken earlier this year, showing a gardener with one foot on the rung of his ladder and the other on a tree branch, while he brandished a chainsaw at the tree's other branches without protective clothing or a harness. The picture originally came from a news story in the Lincolnshire Echo, which reported that he was fined a total of £6,000 for his ladder idiocy. The photo only won around 14% of the vote but took off on Facebook as it was shared and commented on by even more people than the winner.
Cameron Clow, Chairman of the Ladder Association, says: "This competition was all about raising awareness and as such it was run alongside the Ladder Exchange, which offers people and businesses the chance to trade in unsafe ladders for new, compliant ones. We wanted to show together two of the biggest dangers in the workplace - people using their ladders in an unsafe way, and people using equipment that is unfit for purpose.
"Ladders are arguably the most common type of equipment used for work at height - it is estimated that three million are in use in the UK alone. Reported ladder accidents have fallen by over 30% over the last 10 years, but more clearly needs to be done. We are pleased at the response the competition received, with people making sure to pull out their cameras whenever they saw dangerous ladder use, but it is also a worrying sign of how common this kind of unsafe activity is."
Some 38 pictures were submitted throughout the contest from around the globe, with one picture of a ladder perched precariously on an unsafe mobile access tower being traced back to Mexico. While it is already known that falls from height are the number one cause of death at work, the number and variety of the pictures are startling evidence that dangerous ladder use is occurring daily.
With the competition now over, the completed Idiots on Ladders album can be found on the Ladder Association Facebook page at:

...but I thought I would show you this anyway. This past weekend my daughter, my Sunday school friends and I went to a great place called Mosaic Madness in Waxahachie, Texas. We all made mosaic creations. We only had two hours from start to finish and as a novice - well that was NOT enough time for me!
And I know for sure I do NOT have any kind of future in either the making nor grouting of any type of tile craft. Good to know.
I had fun making the frame and I even managed to use a die once I started blinging it up. So my die for the day is the Spellbinders Lacey Oval.
Tomorrow I am going to show you my latest Copic storage. I outgrew my last system and will outgrow this one as well, I think. But I will show you anyway. Maybe it could work for you.

Notable reports from yesterday's storm
Jared Smith / April 20, 2019 at 3:15 PM
Straight-line winds were the order of the day for the Charleston area from an intense squall line that moved through the Southeast yesterday.
Needless to say, we had quite the severe weather event this afternoon. So far we've sent out 147 storm reports. Fortunately, as far as we know there were no injuries as a result of the weather in our area. #gawx #scwx pic.twitter.com/IhC39EmO8n
— NWS Charleston, SC (@NWSCharlestonSC) April 20, 2019
Despite several tornado warnings, surveys from the Charleston forecast office have yielded all straight-line wind damage. (There have been at least three tornadoes confirmed by the Columbia office as of this writing, though.) In all, the Charleston weather forecast office has issued over 150 storm reports from yesterday's event for its county warning area (which includes southeast Georgia). Here are some of the fairly notable ones:
81 MPH gust reported at the Charleston Branch Pilots Association just ahead of the squall line at 2:51 PM. (The anemometer is sited about 80 feet up.)
68 MPH gust was measured at the WeatherFlow Shutes Folly sensor around 2:55 PM.
63 MPH gust was measured by a docked NOAA ship at 2:55 PM.
A tractor trailer was blown over on the Don Holt Bridge by strong non-thunderstorm winds around 1PM.

Several reports of downed trees in Planters Pointe and Dunes West in Mt. Pleasant. A NWS employee near there reported a limb through a car windshield.
Someone on James Island had a mailbox blown away.
A couple trees went down on I-26 around Ridgeville and Harleyville.

In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Palo Alto Networks (PANW) , Cisco Systems (CSCO) , Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (SKT) and Consolidated Edison (ED) .
[By Shauna O'Brien]
Jefferies announced on Wednesday that it has cut its rating on Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. (SKT).
The firm has downgraded SKT from "Buy" to "Hold," and has lowered the company's price target from $40 to $35. This price target suggests an 8% upside from the stock's current price of $32.22.
Analyst Omotayo Okusanya commented: "We expect near-term headwinds for the mall and outlet mall segment as tenant sales growth appears to be slowing."
"At SKT, development yields on two projects have also been reduced. Further, rising interest rates negatively impact our DDM-derived PT. Our lowered PT of $35 represents a 10% total return over the next-twelve-months (NTM); we are downgrading to Hold," added the analyst.
Tanger Factory Outlet shares were mostly flat during pre-market trading Wednesday. The stock is up more than 5% YTD.

 Cheapside Mills (Batley, West Yorkshire).
Established in 1840s as steam-powered fulling, scribbling and spinning mill, but rapidly becoming an integrated woollen mill with construction of powerloom-weaving sheds, finishing and dyeing departments, warehouse and, typical of the Heavy Woollen area, rag-grinding sheds. From 1872 it formed part of the business of J, T and J Taylor, the largest concern in Batley, based at Blakeridge Mills. Surviving buildings at time of record included main mill (four storeys, seventeen bays), rebuilt in 1895 after an earlier fire; weaving sheds (one on three levels), rag-grinding sheds, an elaborate warehouse and office building of c1865, and a combined mill and warehouse of c1922, the last with a steel frame and concrete floors. A turbine house was built in 1934-5.

Q&A with Barry Joseph
Barry Joseph is the author of the book Seltzertopia: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary Drink. He is vice president of digital experience at Girl Scouts of the USA.
Q: You note that you were approached to write a book about seltzer after having written an article for The Forward about it. What initially inspired you to write the article, and had seltzer always been a big part of your life?
A: I wrote the product review for this new kitchen appliance, at the time called Soda Club (not Sodastream), out of purely selfish motivation: I figured it was my best way to get one for free. I had no idea it was the doorman to a rabbit hole (to mix metaphors) whose bottom I still have yet to find after all these years. Before the article I just enjoyed seltzer as a casual drink - 15 years later I [see] it as a fundamental element that binds the universe together.
Q: You worked on the book for more than a decade. How did you research it, and what did you learn that particularly fascinated you?
A: I went through different phases. My first phase was to interview people. I carried a recorder with me everywhere - during my work commute, walking down the street, at restaurants - and I interviewed everyone I could. I had over 100 interviews. I simply wanted to understand what seltzer meant to people, so I could understand how it fit into people's lives.
Once I understand the primary associations people had with seltzer (health, a tasty beverage, a comedic prop, and a lifestyle choice) I then began to research the history of those associations. This was before Google Books and that was slow going. I created a rich social media presence so people with knowledge would find me - a blog, a podcast, a twitter account, Facebook, etc. - and it worked.
People found me. A German lumberjack. A Polish marine archeologist. A Pennsylvanian seltzer work owner. And then all sent me material to help me understand the rich world of seltzer.
Then Google Books came out, and the world opened up to me. I could now read from the comfort of my home manuals from the 1890s for how to run a seltzer work, or run your own soda shop and the recipes you needed to have. I found 200-year-old travel logs visiting the historic town in German that gave seltzer its name.
And with Youtube I was able to explore seltzer TV jingles from England, and the infamous Original New York Seltzer made-for-MTV L.A. hotel seltzer jump.
Q: What would you say are some of the most common perceptions and misperceptions about seltzer?
A: Part of the fun of research seltzer was learning all the different things people associate with seltzer.
As I mentioned above, the first association came from how and why people first encountered and came to desire naturally carbonated water: at water resorts and healing spas. That association with health - for your body, for the planet - has never left.
And that lead to the desire to drink seltzer without having to travel to a spa. Apothecaries learned how to manufacture carbonated water, then add minerals associated with famous spas from around the world.
As customers expressed interest in better tasting drinks, seltzer shifted from a medicine for the elite to a beverage for the masses, whether on its own, with a sweet syrup added, or as the basis of a new line of beverages, now called sodas or pop, and later flavored seltzer (think LaCroix) or hard seltzer (think White Claw).
The third association grew out of seltzers use as a comedic prop, first on the vaudeville stage in NYC, then in Hollywood films (think Three Stooges) and television (think Howdy Doody); if you see someone holding a seltzer siphon in a comedy you know sooner or later someone is going to get spritzed in the face.
Finally, there are people who identify with seltzer as a lifestyle choice. And there are many: millennials, Jewish people, Argentinians, Hungarians; there's all sorts of people who just wouldn't feel whole without seltzer.
So those the big ones. The small ones? Siphons can be used to put out household fires. Seltzer can be used to get out a stain. It's a good baking ingredient and if poured on your face keeps your skin young. It can be used as a weapon of war. On and on it goes. It's remarkable how many ways we find meaning - rightly or wrongly - in seltzer's sharp bite.
Q: Have your views about seltzer changed over the course of writing the book?
A: It had to. I knew nothing when I began. And I stopped the book because I had to publish it at some point, not because I had learned the whole story. Fifteen years later, I still learn something new about seltzer every month.
A: I'm traveling the country telling the story of Seltzertopia. I call it SeltertopiaLive! I bring together all the amazing media I've uncovered - music, movies, television and more - to tell the story of seltzer. It's super fun for me. Since I began the tour at the end of last year, I've presented it over two dozen times, with crowds as small as two to as large as 500, and everyone leaves just bubbling over.
A: While Seltzertopia tells the story of seltzer, going back centuries, its heart and soul lies in the portraits of contemporary people who have been touched by seltzer: seltzer delivery men, seltzer company CEOs, siphon collectors, seltzer work owners, and more. Their stories are quite moving, rather engaging, and are a collective case study of people whose lives are transformed by unexpected passions.
I keep an active presence on my Twitter account, Instagram, Facebook, and my blog.

Traditional watermill in Prespa Lake, Greece, wins Europa Nostra 2016 Prize
18-04-16 medwet 0 comment
In 2016, 28 projects from 16 countries were awarded for their contribution to the maintenance of the European cultural heritage with the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards. Since 2002, independent expert juries have selected 426 award-winning projects from 34 countries. Among this year's winning projects was the restoration of the traditional watermill in Prespa Lake, Greece, a project supported by the Society for the protection of Prespa, the Greek Society for the Environment and Cultural Heritage, and numerous volunteers throughout a period of 28 years, among which Mr Thanasis Minos, a 90 year old craftsman, miller and lumberman, who guided the construction, placement and operation of the mill's mechanical parts.
The mill, one of the few surviving mills in the area, is a one-storage stone building with a wooden roof, originally constructed in the 1930s by the River of Agios Germanos in the namesake village. It features three pieces of working machinery – a flour mill, fulling tub and fulling mill. Since the completion of the restoration works, the watermill has become a live monument of the Greek pre-industrial heritage and an integral component of the Agios Germanos village. People from the wider area who have warmly welcomed the restoration use the watermill for the grinding of cereals and for carpet washing. At the same time, it serves as a museum, hosting an interpretive exhibition on the watermill's history and the ecological value of the Agios Germanos River.

I'm currently learning to program in C# using visual studio.
I'm trying to program a windows form application, however I've ran into an error in which I cannot resolve.
In the application I'm trying to add a 'load' method which reads from a text file and then adds the strings to the listbox.
This is the error I'm getting atm.
"there is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter "
If anyone can provide me with any help I would really appreciate it.
I can attach the project through email if needed.
your constructor for employees doesn't match the parameters you are giving it when instantiating your new class instances. You'll have to either add a constructor to the class that takes the parameter list you are giving it or send it the correct parameters. Right now you are just passing in a single parameter.

This is a nice, thick, mushroom-flavored soup that is easy to prepare and very enjoyable to eat.
Optional: Garlic (1 clove - crushed or finely chopped).
Melt the butter in a pan. If using garlic, cook it in the butter for about 1 minute until it starts to turn brown. Add the mushrooms, onions and celery, and a pinch of salt and pepeer to the butter, and sautée for about 5 minutes.
Add flour, stir it in, and continue to cook for about 1 minute more.
Add chicken stock and cream, continuing to stir. Simmer for about another 5 minutes.
If you want, you can garnish the dish with a little fresh chives and/or thyme.
Note: As well as eating the cream mushroom soup, you can also use it as an ingredient in dishes such as Chicken Supreme and Tuna Pasta Bake.

A Director's Director
As Elia Kazan wrote in preparation for a book on his craft, a director should "avoid being a nice guy, a decent guy, a conforming guy." He should show no shame when accused of being arrogant, and he should say what he thinks, no matter whom it might offend. After all, he's not about "to guide a children's summer camp." More likely, he's "related to a zoo-keeper."

J'accuse America
Glenn C. AltschulerSeptember 9, 2009
Convicted in 1894 of selling secrets to Germany, French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, the only Jewish officer trainee on the General Staff, was sentenced to perpetual imprisonment in a fortified enclosure on Devil's Island, a rocky formation near French Guyana. Six weeks before his exile began, as he cried out that he was innocent and a French patriot, Dreyfus was forced to participate in "the Judas parade," marching around the courtyard while just outside, a huge mob screamed, "Death to the traitor, the dirty Jew."


Hey folks! Long time fan and user of Pixelmator, first time poster.
I have a family picture I need to fix for an upcoming funeral. It suffers from "yellow-eye" big time. Red-eye removal in other apps failed me.
Based on a previous thread found here, I tried Pixelmator Pro's Darken and Desaturate tool, but have not seen how they could help in a few tries.
Bump? Is it because of the horrible looking example pics? I don't want to post a family picture of a dozen people without their consent.
No, the example pics are absolutely fine, this is actually just a pretty difficult thing to do, either manually or automatically — I tried using a couple different methods, but nothing seemed to do the trick, I'm afraid. Basically, there's no detail at all left in the eye (even if it's made up of a couple of pixels), and you have to paint in the right pixels, almost. Maybe someone else has some experience with this?
Thank you, I had assumed I was just doing it wrong as an inexperienced user. Oh well!
