Treeson employs 100% eco-friendly materials
and the US Postal Service to revolutionize the way we recycle.
About 1,500 bottles are consumed in the US every second — over 250 billion each year. Yet despite initiatives to reduce deforestation, landfill area, and marine debris through recycling, less than 20% of those water bottles are actually recycled.
That means 200 billion water bottles annually, from the US alone, end up in landfills, rivers, and oceans around the world — adding to consumer waste that has been accumulating for decades.
According to Treeson CEO Carlton Solle, "It's time to change that."
Carlton Solle founded Treeson Springwater after taking a walk on the beaches of Costa Rica with his wife and daughter, coming across dozens of water bottles washing up on the shore.
Solle had previously been working on a waste-to-energy project to harness the chemicals in recycled products to generate sustainable energy. Yet putting normal bottles, which are petroleum-based, into his generator would still release harmful gases into the atmosphere.
So he decided to create his own water bottle company.
Treeson water bottles are plant-based, toxin free, GMO free, and are both reusable and recyclable. Their labels made with eco-friendly adhesive and 100% post-consumer paper, printed with soy ink, and laminated with beeswax. Their leaf-shape — inspired by Solle's daughter — allows the bottle to fit in cup holders, as well as easily collapse flat.
Even the box in which the bottles are packaged is infused with tree seeds, which means you can literally rip up the box, put it in the ground, and trees will grow.
Most water bottle companies shirk the responsibility of recycling onto consumers. Treeson boasts being the first water bottle company to take complete responsibility for the sustainability of its products, while still empowering consumers to care for their environment at an affordable cost.
Treeson has crafted the most targeted recycling system yet, which they have deemed "Recycling 2.0" — commandeering the US Postal Service.
Peel back the biodegradable label on your Treeson bottle to reveal a business reply mail mark. Stick it in your mailbox, and it will travel back to Solle's generator at Treeson headquarters, which emits only natural bi-products. Your bottle will help generate sustainable energy to produce even more Treeson products, to "guarantee your bottles don't end up where they shouldn't."
To further encourage use of the zero-impact mail-back system, Treeson promises to plant "one tree for every bottle sold." Consumers can track their very own trees, planted in the Central American rainforest, and watch them grow using Treeson's GPS app.
And even if the bottle doesn't' make it back to the factory, every part of the bottle is 100% compostable, 100% biodegradable, and 100% sustainable.
Treeson plans not only to reduce negative impact on the environment, but also restore vital habitats, rainforests, and clean water sources decimated by deforestation. Filling their bottles with natural spring water from Costa Rica, Treeson drinkers will enjoy tasty water packed with natural electrolytes and infused with oxygen.
Today marks the beginning of Treeson's crowdfunding campaign launch, which will help Solle and his staff launch the brand and concept, cover initial production and infrastructure expenses, and move toward marketing flavored waters and other beverages. View the progress of the campaign here.

Carey, Legend each win two Soul Train Music Awards
Published 6:30 am, Saturday, March 4, 2006
PASADENA, Calif. — Mariah Carey kept her comeback going Saturday, picking up best album and best single honors at the 20th Annual Soul Train Music Awards.
John Legend also earned two awards, beating out R. Kelly for best male album with Get Lifted and best male single, Ordinary People.
Carey, who won three Grammys last month, nabbed awards for best female album with The Emancipation of Mimi and best female single with We Belong Together.
"This has been the biggest and most successful year of my life," said Carey, who returned last year after dominating the pop charts for much of the 1990s.
A year ago, Carey's career looked to be fading following a handful of debacles that included a contract buyout by Virgin Records.
"You know that whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger," she said.
R. Kelly entered the show with a leading three nominations, but lost in each category. Kanye West claimed the award for best R&B-soul or rap music video for Gold Digger, featuring Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx.
John Legend won best male single for Ordinary People, beating out R. Kelly, who was nominated for Trapped in the Closet (Chapter 1 of 5).
Chris Brown, meanwhile, claimed the award for best new rap artist for his album Run It.
"Just last year I was just at home trying to balance my school work and basketball practice," said 16-year-old Brown, a high school junior.
Foxx, who clinched best musical artist last week at the NAACP Image Awards, was honored Saturday with the Quincy Jones Lifetime Achievement Award.
Foxx, who recently released his album Unpredictable, said Jones had given him advice to view a musical career as a marathon, not a sprint.
"'You've got another 50 years to go,'" Foxx said Jones told him.
The Quincy Jones Outstanding Career Achievement for women went to Destiny's Child, who also won best-group single for Cater 2 U.
The awards show also recognized one of the genre's legends, naming an award in Stevie Wonder's honor.
Before the show, Wonder received a bronze statue of himself before he was set to present the first annual Stevie Wonder Lifetime Achievement Award to Kelly.
"I saw the sculpture and it looks really great," joked Wonder, who is blind.
Wonder said he hoped award winners would "wear me well."
Kelly, who said he had grown up listening to Wonder's music, accepted the award imitating Wonder's voice and waving his head back and forth, drawing laughs from the audience.
An honorary award also went to Legend, who garnered the Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year.
"I'm truly humbled that you chose me for this," said Legend.
The Soul Train Music Awards, started by the syndicated music show Soul Train, celebrate artists in R&B, hip-hop and gospel music.
The 2006 honors, hosted by Vivica A. Fox and Tyrese Gibson, will air in syndication beginning March 11.
The awards are determined by a group of radio station professionals, talent managers and performers.

Literary state of origin: Melbourne versus Brisbane
Inter-city rivalry in Australia usually involves Sydney and Melbourne but today we encourage a new stoush, a literary stoush, between Melbourne and Brisbane.
We ask which city is more word worthy and which fosters the best literary talent? Brisbane founded the highly-revered literary magazine Meanjin but Melbourne has UNESCO's imprimatur as a city of literature.

Convert Morse Code to Text
|Morse Code
Morse code:
Converted text:
Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment.
Each Morse code symbol represents either a text character (letter or numeral) or a prosign and is represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. The duration of a dash is three times the duration of a dot. Each dot or dash is followed by a short silence, equal to the dot duration. The letters of a word are separated by a space equal to three dots (one dash), and the words are separated by a space equal to seven dots.
The dot duration is the basic unit of time measurement in code transmission. To increase the speed of the communication, the code was designed so that the length of each character in Morse varies approximately inversely to its frequency of occurrence in English. Thus the most common letter in English, the letter "E", has the shortest code, a single dot.
In an emergency, Morse code can be sent by improvised methods that can be easily "keyed" on and off, making it one of the simplest and most versatile methods of telecommunication. The most common distress signal is SOS or three dots, three dashes, and three dots, internationally recognized by treaty:This article uses material from the Wikipedia article "Morse code", which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License 3.0.

NEW SMARTMADE ™ by SmartOnes (R) meals offer smart and delicious meals inspired by your smart cooking methods -like grilling protein and roasting vegetables for more flavor, and making smart swaps like white bean puree for cream – just like you do at home.
Fall is always a busy time of year, from back-to-school, to kids' sports, family activities, and then it leads into the holidays. This fall has been an especially crazy one for us, with all the normal fall activities like the ones I just mentioned, and then add in the birth of my twin nephews and my own pregnancy! I truly love cooking (obviously I am a food blogger), but I find myself looking for smart and delicious alternative options more often when I can't or don't have time to cook. As a result of my health coach training, I am confident in the fact that I am knowledgeable about health and nutrition. I strive to eat real food as much as I possibly can, but I also realize that eating healthy involves balance, and trade-offs might be necessary when life is as crazy as it has been for us here lately. I have realized that it is ok to take a little help where I can get it and that might come in the form of real food prepared meals for convenience. I am so glad that I was introduced to NEW SMARTMADE! These are really meals that are inspired by you! They are a great option for me when life is crazy, but I still want to embrace and enjoy healthy living through balance, moderation and not stressing the small stuff!! I am trying to give myself a little slack here and there 😉 Just look at all of the real, simple ingredients in this SMARTMADE Mexican-Style Chicken Bowl!! I am loving the combination of grilled white meat chicken with black beans and roasted vegetables over brown rice lightly tossed in a green chili lime sauce and topped with Monterey jack cheese in this burrito-style bowl 🙂 Those are real ingredients that you can pronounce, actual ones found in your pantry! Y'all know I love to be creative in the kitchen and this meal tastes the way that I want it to, like it just came out of my healthy kitchen but without the time or work of actually having to prepare it from scratch 😉 I found these NEW SMARTMADE meals in my local grocery store's freezer aisle and I picked up a few different varieties to check out. I thought that they would be a perfect option for me to take to work for my lunch and to have on-hand in the freezer for dinners when I have to work late because of one of our charity events or I just don't have the energy to cook (um…hello pregnancy exhaustion…the struggle is real my friends)!! Are you seeing the grill marks on those veggies? YUM!! This SMARTMADE White Wine Chicken and Couscous features grilled white meat chicken with roasted zucchini, eggplant, onions and tomatoes over pearled couscous lightly tossed in a white wine sauce. I love the smart swap of couscous for white rice and that is one that I have definitely taken advantage of in my own kitchen since it doesn't compromise taste 🙂 Think about the time that it might take to grill the chicken, roast the veggies, prepare the couscous and then put it all together for a lovely meal for your family, friends, yourself… why not make the smart move and take some help where you can get it?! You could serve this dish to friends and/or family and they might not even know that it is a frozen meal!! Check out this delicious Rosemary Grilled Beef & Vegetables!! Grilled sirloin beef seasoned with rosemary served with roasted sweet potatoes, onions and Brussels sprouts! I love roasting vegetables to really give them that extra flavor!! And you can really taste the roasted goodness of the veggies in this dish as well as the rosemary infusing the beef!! These are just three of the delicious varieties of NEW SMARTMADE meals that are available. Be sure to check out the full list of meals here. Also for more meal inspiration, please visit SMARTMADE on Facebook & Instagram, using the hashtag #smartmade!!

|SalesVantage.com >> Article Archives >> Management Insights >> Goal Setting
In 1953, Success magazine conducted a survey and asked Yale's graduating class the following questions...
13% had goals, but had never written them down.
84% had no specific goals other than to make the most out of their lives and enjoy themselves.
In 1973 when the same class was resurveyed, the difference between the goal setters and non-goal setters was stunning.
The 13% who had goals, but had not written them down, were earning on average twice the amount of the 84% of students who had no goals at all. The 3% who had written their goals down were earning on average ten times as much as the other 97% combined!!
Creating a deadline and sharing the goals with other people will take success to a whole other level.

It's Manic Monday folks and apart from being the 15th anniversary of the Gilmore Girls, today is the day before the Mad Hatter Day!
On October 6th we celebrate the Mad Hatter and his brilliant lunacy. He made his first appearance in 1865, when Lewis Carroll published his famous novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. This is the very first image of the Mad Hatter as he appeared in the original version of the novel.

Throughout the years there have been multiple movie adaptations of Alice's Adventures. From Disney's animated comedy to Burton's more surreal version of a darker Wonderland – the Mad Hatter and his Tea Party are always there and grant us our desired dose of madness.
After all, we are all mad here, right?
Now check out the many different versions of the Mad Hatter from back in 1951 until the present day.

Video Helps Fox Entertainment's Q314 May, 2003 By: Joan Villa
Robust home entertainment sales of Ice Age and other titles, along with growth in television broadcast and cable network segments, helped drive Fox Entertainment Group third quarter revenues up 9 percent to $2.7 billion over the prior year quarter.
The filmed entertainment segment's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) surged 22 percent to $220 million over last year, driven by worldwide revenues from Ice Age and strong domestic returns from Brown Sugar, One Hour Photo, Swimfan and The Banger Sisters, the studio reported.
20th Century Fox Television also returned higher sales as a result of "continued momentum" in home entertainment sales of "The Simpsons" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as well as syndication profits from "The X-Files" and "Dharma & Greg," the company said.
"We are extremely pleased with our third quarter results, which continued the financial and operating momentum we achieved throughout the first half of the fiscal year," commented chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch. "Revenue and EBITDA growth of 9 percent and 39 percent, respectively, despite the economic impact of the war in Iraq, speaks to the underlying strength of our core assets."

Hey how can I make it so my eris makes no noise when receiving a text just vibrates?
Just texts, or all notifications? If you want all your notifications to be silent, set your "notifications" to vibrate. If you just want texts (and no other notifications) to be silent, you will have to create a notification sound that doesnt make any noise and set your text messages to that. Make sure you also set your you phone to always vibrate.
I was going search around to download a "silent ringtone" for that purpose. But it can be done with the device itself, is that what you mean?
That would be the easiest way to do it ... I would think.

Liryc moves into its new building in 2015© CGI
This innovative, upscalable building located on the site of Xavier Arnozan Hospital in Pessac was co-funded by the Aquitaine Regional Government and was delivered in stages starting in June 2015. A total surface area of nearly 6,000 m² will be dedicated to the study, diagnosis and treatment of electrophysiological disorders of the heart. This unique European platform will bring together some 150 researchers, for an exceptional concentration of world-class medical and scientific skills in cardiology, electrophysiology, medical imaging, image analysis and modeling. The construction of the building was launched in 2014, with the first stone being laid at the February ceremony, during which Manuel Tunon de Lara, President of the University of Bordeaux, recalled that Liryc "is a challenge that we have chosen to address together. The University of Bordeaux is a major innovation player and large-scale projects like the Liryc IHU enable us to play this role in our society". The building is due to be delivered at the end of 2015.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — In a tribute to last week's blizzard, a nearly 10-foot snowman continues to stand tall on the corner of 169th Street and Audubon Avenue in Washington Heights.
Time and rising temperatures have taken their toll on Frosty who has lost his red scarf, carrot nose, eyes, pail hat and both his arms since he mysteriously appeared Saturday after a winter storm dumped nearly a foot of snow on New York City.
"It was beautiful when it was first done, now it's kind of melting away, but it was nice in the beginning," one man said. "It was gigantic; it was much bigger than this."

The senior-level decision-making process of a large organization undergoing a turnaround in financial affairs was examined and the factors which were found to best describe its decision making were found to be the movement between phases, the way the members of the Committee involved themselves in the process, and the leadership activity of the chairman of the Committee. The phases of the process were described as five: presentation, identification, familiarization, formulation, alternative assessment, and choice. In each of these phases information was processed in distinct ways and each phase appeared to present a task to accomplish before the process moved on to other phases. Movement was found to cycle amongst phases as choices were made. Members of the Committee involved themselves in the process through various activities. Many of these activities concerned the way personal perspectives were presented and separated along with, or apart from, more objective information. The leadership of the process had considerable influence in shaping its direction. As the leader, and president of the company, instituted discipline, enforced accountability and directed the "pace and direction of the process, he shaped organizational values, and influenced the outcome of decisions. The most significant event in the life of the company was its turnaround from near bankruptcy to profitability. The decision process was seen to have considerable influence in bringing this about, as well as factors related to the content of decisions, and the context within which the organization was set.

Scarf arrest prompts worker training
Thu., Dec. 25, 2008
ATLANTA – City court workers in an Atlanta suburb will undergo sensitivity training and post courtroom dress code signs after police arrested a Muslim woman for refusing to remove her religious headscarf before attending a hearing.
A judge ordered Lisa Valentine, 40, to serve 10 days in jail for contempt of court after the Dec. 16 incident. She was released in less than a day.
Muslim rights activists have asked the Department of Justice to investigate the incident that triggered a protest in Douglasville, a city of about 20,000 people on Atlanta's west suburban outskirts.
Council on American-Islamic Relations spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said Wednesday the training doesn't address the problem.
"We can deal with whether people knew about policies or whether they handled things correctly, but the bottom line is, can a Muslim woman walk into this courtroom wearing religious attire?" he said.
In a news release this week, the city police department acknowledged that while courtroom rules restrict headgear, Municipal Court Judge Keith Rollins has made accommodations for religious reasons, such as hearing cases outside the courtroom.
Officials admonished the officer who detained Valentine for not "seeking an accommodation that would preserve the spirit of the law." It's unclear whether the officer was punished.
Chief Joe Whisenant characterized the incident as a miscommunication.
"It's not our intent to embarrass anybody, and we're taking all steps we think are reasonable to make sure this doesn't happen again," Whisenant said.
All police officers and some city employees who work with the court will be trained on court restrictions and special accommodations, and will post courtroom decorum rules, police said. Rollins also is expected to undergo the training, said Gary Sparks, deputy police chief of administration.
Akil Secret, an attorney representing Valentine, said a lawsuit is likely.

The change which I believe is breaking gcov (and gprof) now is that each UML thread gets a host thread. At the time, everything ran in one thread, which presented a simpler picture to the code that maintains and writes out the statistics. The thread started when the machine booted, and stats started accumulating. The thread ended when the machine halted, and the stats were written out. Now, threads are coming and going all the time, and you have to figure out how to accumulate the stats for all the threads in one place, and how to get them written out when the machine halts, and preferably not before. Although it would be OK if the stats are kept separately for each thread and accumulated in the filesystem as threads exit. > Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. switcheroo (fd=8, > prot=7, from=0x2aaac000, to=0x10188000, size=430080) > at unmap.c:16 See http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/597/2000/12/0/4805000/ for an explanation of the nastiness going on there.

text: I have had this stove in my house for 5 years and about a year ago the lever that switches from regular vent to catalyst vent stopped working. It is stuck in the non-catalyst position. I don't want to force it and break something, but it will just not move. I have opened up the back cover and cheked the catylyst and cleaned it out. Any ideas how to free this mechanism?

Great addition to the downtown area, if I do say so myself. Detail of the center arch. Reflecting the new library – BEFORE the library was built!

I'm a huge fan of family vacations. I really believe that taking at least one family vacation a year is a necessity. Even if money is tight taking a small trip to do fun things with the kids is worth it.
While family vacations are great, a trip without the kids is equally important. After some good encouragement/pushing from some good friends, the hubby and I finally took a trip by ourselves for the first time in many years.
With no kids!
This is how we felt about it:
Our "jobs" as parents is pretty consuming. From the moment I get up until the end of the day I'm constantly responsible for my two little ones. Feeding, playing, bathing, discipline, encouraging. You know the drill.
To think that I would be away from those responsibilities for three days was both exciting and a little scary.
For parents like me it's hard to just get away. It's not that easy.
But all the planning was worth it! The hubby and I left the kids with their grandparents & had a great time on our trip {I'll share pictures later on}
So if there's other parents out there who (like us) who need some encouragement to get away on your own, this post is for you!
Top 8 Reasons to Take A Trip Without The Kids
Your Marriage Is Being Watched
While the kids grow up, most of what they learn about marriage will come from watching YOURS.
{GULP} That's a pretty humbling thought, isn't it?
I want my kids to know how a healthy marriage is supposed to work. If we don't get away to spend time with each other and invest in our marriage we will be cheating our kids. Displaying a healthy marriage is part of parenting. Putting your spouse before the children is healthy and getting away on a trip together is a great way to display this fact.
Enjoy Some Freedom!
Having freedom with a lot less responsibility was one of the things we enjoyed most about our trip. We had no schedule. No naps to rush home for. No diaper changes. We got to sleep in & went about our day doing whatever we wanted. Freedom is a wonderful thing & it was so refreshing for the both of us!
Your Kids Need Time Away From You
I know that headline may have stung a little bit. But it's true. Your children need to know that they can be away from Mom and Dad and know they'll be okay. I also needed a reminder that my children will survive without me.
Gives You A Chance To Miss Your Kids
This really applies to me as a stay-at-home-mom. I'm always around my kids so I don't often get the satisfaction of reunion with them. I have to admit I sometimes get jealous of my hubby and working moms because they get to have fun reunions with kids in a way that I never do. They get to go off, be productive and then come home to a swarm of kids and hugs and kisses.
After returning from our trip I absolutely savored the reunion with my kids. It was wonderful!
Your Nest Will Be Empty Someday
Before the kids came along, it was just the hubby and me. When the kids grow up and move out, it will again be just the hubby and me. We want to build into our relationship now so that when our nest becomes empty it will be an exciting time. We want our friendship to be strong. Couples that focus too much on the children tend to drift apart. By the time the kids leave, the couple doesn't know how to interact with each other. I don't want that to be us.
Remember The Cosby Show? Cliff is always excitedly looking forward to the time when all the kids move out. He clearly loves his wife and was looking forward to that time. I want to be like Cliff.
Enjoy Interests & Hobbies Together
One thing that brought the hubby and me together when we dated was a general interest in cars. We both can look at an Aston Martin and appreciate the beauty of its design. We both marvel at the cinematography of the show Top Gear. Getting away gives us time to enjoy these interests together.
My hubby is an avid cyclist. We spent some time at a bike shop which is one of his favorite places to go. Is it my fav place to go? Nope. But I love him so I invest a little of my time so that we can enjoy his hobbies together.
It's also a two-way street. The next day I spent some time shopping for deals. My hubby happily picked up a book and read while I shopped. We both had the chance to invest in the other's hobbies. When we both are preferring the other, our marriage is fun & not work.
It's Good For You
Just like eating your vegetables is good for your body, getting time away as a couple is good for you. People who take vacations and relax will come back more productive. In my case since our getaway I've been on a blogging frenzy. A fresh break has given me tons of ideas for new posts. Letting my mind refresh has ended up giving me a ton of inspiration.
Uninterrupted Conversation
Need I say more? With two little ones it's seemingly impossible to finish a full sentence. Or a full thought. It was so wonderful to have long conversations again. While I'm talking about conversations, make sure you don't end up talking about the kids the whole time. We both had to work on this a little at the beginning of our trip, but by the second day we were talking like we did when we were dating!
We took a three day trip to St. Louis. Here's some of the pictures we took!
Did I convince you yet? Where would be your perfect destination for a kid-free trip? Leave a comment below and tell me where you'd like to go!

Thanks for linking this up to Ladies Only Blog Share – it's perfect! I came back from a trip yesterday (note, I didn't say vacation) and it was WITH kids and WITHOUT husband. I think I'd rather like it the other way around. I believe every marriage needs it at some point, if not often.

Now I work for myself…no more getaways. 🙁 We need to work on that! Thanks for linking up with us at LOBS!

Great post and wonderful advice:) My hubby and I have known each other for over 40 years…we have been married almost 17 years. We have learned to always take time to be together and re-connect to that couple we were before we had kids, not always easy to do, but always well worth it:) Have a great time together!

Totally agree! We went on our first trip without the kids last year, when I was pregnant with our third baby. It was wonderful! We didn't realize how much we needed it until we were on our minivacation. Thanks for adding this link to our pin-it party today!

Great post, Carrie! Everything you said is 100% truth. Hopefully soon I can take this advise and go on a trip with my husband.
You crack me up…I love your pictures! I totally agree with you on all points! You must not live too far from us…St. Louis is only about a three hour drive. Let me know if you ever venture to the Kansas City area!

I have started to build a TeXniC project for a c.v. "template". I managed to solve all problems I encountered - more or less elegantly - except two:
1. I would like to enter author, title and subject etc information in the main .tex file so that this is written as meta information to the PDF upon generating it. I have tried \author, \pdfauthor and \pdfinfo, none of that seems to work.
2. This might be a tough one:
The way I built this project is that I have one .sty file which contains the following (only the relevant stuff):
Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf
- \usepackage{fullpage}
- \usepackage{longtable}
- \renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}
- {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}
- {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}
- \newenvironment{envtable}[1]
- \begin{longtable}
- {@{} p{.23\textwidth} | @{\hskip .02\textwidth} p{.30\textwidth} | @{\hskip .02\textwidth} p{.35\textwidth} }}
- {\end{longtable}\vskip 0.5cm}
So an environment "envtable" containing a longtable is defined. Now I have a main .tex file in which I load packages, refer to the .sty and then I write the actual text, for example:
Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf
- \begin{envtable}{tablename}
- first column & second column & third column
- \end{envtable}
Now the thing is that in the resulting PDF file the text in the tables appears like it would in MS Word with the setting "justified" instead of "aligned left". The result are ugly big spaces between some words and TeXniC also reports 4 underfull boxes. I have tried -lots- of things to make this go away The standard parameter for flushed-left text in longtables, manually flush-left in the .tex, trying to see if the problem is caused by bad hyphenation and some more. I simply can't get it to work.
I would greatly appreciate any help with these two problems. Thanks!

Free speech champion slams Stormont on libel reform block
THE Assembly has been challenged by an international freedom of speech charity to explain why Northern Ireland has been excluded from sweeping reforms to the UK's outdated libel laws.
The Defamation Bill – the first major reform to our libel legislation for 170 years – moved a step closer to becoming law after it was passed in the House of Lords this week.
However, it will not apply to Northern Ireland because Stormont blocked it from being extended here. It has been claimed the decision was taken by Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness's department, the Office of First and Deputy First Minister.
Mike Harris from the Index on Censorship – an organisation which champions freedom of speech around the world – said it was unacceptable that Northern Ireland had been excluded.
"This is a good piece of legislation which will end the international humiliation from our libel laws, which have been proven by the United Nations Human Rights Committee to chill free speech," he told the Belfast Telegraph. "Northern Ireland's politicians should be called to account for why they don't think the people of Northern Ireland deserve the same protections for free speech as other countries."
The Defamation Bill has been described as a landmark piece of legislation and will provide more protection for individuals and organisations – including newspapers and broadcasters – to criticise big companies.
On Tuesday peers voted by a majority of 78 to pass the Bill.
It will now proceed to Royal Assent. However, the final version has been watered down. Earlier this month the DUP voted with Conservatives to remove a key piece of legislation which would have prevented large companies such as McDonald's and Tesco suing their critics unless they could prove financial losses.
There is now concern that Belfast could become a capital for so-called libel tourism.
Foreigners have increasingly used British courts to sue overseas publications under the UK's stricter regime.
Exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, who passed away last month, sued US business magazine Forbes over an article implying he could teach Sicilian gangsters "a thing or two".
US celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Kate Hudson have also taken libel cases in British courts.
Mr Harris said there were genuine fears that Belfast could replace London as a so-called libel tourism destination.
"All previous defamation acts have applied to Northern Ireland, so it seems the Assembly has proactively lobbied to be excluded from this legislation," he added.
"Our concern is that Northern Ireland will continue to have antiquated libel laws and become a libel tourism capital where cases that can't be taken in England will be taken to Belfast."
The Bill's architect, Liberal Democrat peer Lord Lester, previously told the Belfast Telegraph that Stormont's block was a "very bad step" for the public.
The Defamation Bill aims to reform the law of defamation to ensure a fair balance is struck between the right to freedom of expression and the protection of reputation. It makes a number of substantive changes to the libel law, including:
• Removing the current presumption in favour of a jury trial.
• Providing increased protection to operators of websites that host user-generated content.

ventor's Review of Epic

I was pleasantly surprised by this. The animation is superb. The story is reminiscent of the 90s film Fern gulley. A human gets shrunk to fairy size and the forest has to be saved from destruction. The big difference (and it is a good one) is that the bad guys are small creatures like the good ones. In fact the tiny creatures make fun of the slow stupid humans, paying them little heed. Along with the overarching plot of saving the forest, is the developing relationship of a father and daughter, along with other secondary plots that make viewing this film a very rich experience. Great family entertainment. Downsides to this film would have to be its title. The word 'epic' was overused so much in the otts that naming a film this is like beating a dead horse. Instant eye-rolling ensues when you hear the title of this film for the first time. This is hardly a deterrent from watching this. Definitely worth your timeClick for more ratings and availability

ICRC report on Guantanamo handed over to US
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed it has presented the US Government with a new report on the treatment of detainees at the US military base in Guantanamo Bay.
The report "covers observations made during the last visit at the end of February, beginning of March," ICRC spokeswoman Antonella Notari said.
A senior US Defence official travelling with US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Thursday that an ICRC report on Guantanamo was forwarded to Mr Rumsfeld's department by the State Department this week.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the report was critical.
ICRC staff have made visits to the US military detention facility at the base, which houses mainly Al Qaeda terror suspects or Taliban fighters, since January 2002 to check on conditions there.
Ms Notari declined to comment on the content of the new report.
"Like the others it is strictly confidential. It's part of the standard report on places of detention," she said.
However, Ms Notari pointed to comments by the agency's president, Jakob Kellenberger, following meetings with senior US officials in Washington.
Mr Kellenberger said at the time that the United States had not fully addressed the ICRC's concerns about the treatment of detainees and conditions in Guantanamo.
The ICRC said the latest report was handed over to the State Department, the Pentagon and the National Security Council.
A separate report by the agency on US-run jails in Iraq, which was leaked in the United States a
week ago, revealed a pattern of abuse of detainees there, fuelling uproar triggered by pictures of Iraqi detainees being maltreated and humiliated.

Sublime !
Absolutely beautiful.
She is gorgeous. Exposing one boob like that is very sexy, I think. The tattoos are fabulous, too.
very lovely
This is fantastic, but because the painted tattoo on her arm is so busy and detailed, I think you could have left her chest bare. It seems a little bit too much but a stunning image all the same, very powerful.
Excellent job. Bravisimo!
Keep coming back to this shot, absolutely stunning model.
The time it must take to ink those tattoos always amazes me.
Great work by all !!!
I really like the painted tattoo on her arm, it is wicked!
haha isn't that a copy of the sword used in the old Connan movies?
You manage to catch and improve on the sensual compositions of one of my favorite artists, It is fascinating to see the ideas in actual life. Please do keep up the wonderful works.
Beautiful shot and model
Wow. Great!
Reminds me of Conan's Queen, especially with the sword.

ARLINGTON, Va., March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the vital importance of developing our nation's next generation of engineers, scientists and technical professionals, the U.S. Army continues its partnership with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) for the sixth year. The partnership includes the Army's participation at the NSBE Annual Convention March 29 – April 2 in Kansas City, Mo. as a member of the organization's Board of Corporate Affiliates (BCA).
At the convention, the Army will provide students with information about educational resources and career opportunities available in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). This effort to better support tomorrow's brilliant leaders in STEM helps the Army to lay a stronger foundation for success for young African-American professionals.
The five-day conference kicks off on Wednesday, March 29 at the Kansas City Convention Center. Through its participation in meetings such as the Senior Executive Leadership Forum, the Army will work with NSBE and fellow Board of Corporate Affiliate members to support ongoing initiatives impacting African-American youth, including NSBE's 2025 campaign, "Be One of 10,000," which aims to increase the annual number of African-Americans earning bachelor's degrees in engineering to 10,000 by 2025. In addition, the Army will host an interactive exhibit to allow participants to experience Army technology, including robotics and a Tube Ultra display.
"The U.S. Army is at the forefront of many of today's innovations in science and technology, making NSBE the ideal partner to elevate professional opportunities for African-American youth," stated Lt. Col. Michelle Nhambure, program manager for the U.S. Army Marketing and Research Group. "The Army is proud to invest resources that will lead to long-term success for these students and benefit our nation."
The Army's partnership with NSBE is consistent with its continued focus on leadership development and education. Last year, the Army awarded more than $280 million in ROTC scholarships to students at more than 275 colleges and universities across the country.
Additionally, the Army has more than 150 career paths, including in-demand fields such as information technology, engineering and health care, among others. For more information, please visit www.goarmy.com.

Asian University Traditions

- , Molly N.N. LeeAffiliated withThe HEAD Foundation
Asian university traditions are intellectual traditions that were firmly entrenched in the Asian context prior to Western contact and these traditions continue to impact on the Asian universities.
Asia is a diverse region in terms of geographical size, economic development, political ideologies, and educational traditions. There are small island states such as Singapore, Sri Lanka, East Timor, and Maldives, as well as countries such as China, Indonesia, and India which have huge populations and large geographical areas. Japan and South Korea are advanced industrialized countries, with Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand as newly industrialized countries, whereas China, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam are countries in transition (i.e., from agricultural economy to an industrialized economy, from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented economy). Many countries in the region have a colonial history, and their education systems are ...

I loved this when this was released in 2005 it blew up many GPUs because its graphics were amazing in 2005 no 360 or ps3 was made now go play
The graphics and realistic features they added to this game is off the charts, I'm sure 2008 will be even better. - Undertaker15-0
Fantastic game... and it has great lighting effect and flashes.. - JonathanMartini1231
The game is a lot of fun and it looks pretty realistic. - Zorgoth

Yayz I typed in chimera and it worked, so did griffin. They looked so cool I like puting in medusa too!
Best graphics to this game because it's the only game that makes me stop and just look. But "graphics" can mean several tings. Zelda ocarina does not have more polygons or higher resolution textures or whatever, it is simply beautiful.
For being 15 years old, this has extraordinary graphics
This game looks so real!
Definitely the best graphics on a strategy game I've ever seen. The explosions are incredibly realistic, the minerals glisten and the unit portraits are amazing. ten out of ten. - Dead_Frozen
Why the heck is this in the bottom D: sc2 has AO now which makes it a billion times better
Well, I hate the game play, but Splatoon has the best color palette out of any video game, which is impressive by itself, but even more so for a shooter and a postapocalyptic one at that. Everything moves smoothly and fast and is damn fun to watch, and the characters have a distinct 90s style to them. - Extractinator04
Really? This game's graphics are down there with jack and daxter and the original ratchet and clank
Haven't seen it, but looks great from the screenshots. A shooter game has never had so much color. - Skullkid755
This game proves that you don't need realistic graphics to have good graphics. Stylistic and 'fresh' and also a NEW Nintendo IP? What?
Come on, who can resist so many beautiful girls in a very beautiful environment? - NightAntilli
best graphics on a handheld device. when I showed my friends they thought it was a movie - robertiannuzzo
I don't know why this is so low down in the list. It should be among the top 10
Just about tied with Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion for having the absolute best graphics on GBA. - xandermartin98

Two rival gardening firms clashed on a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Poulton with one man stabbed with a pitchfork and another hit across the head with a hammer, a court was told.
Violence is said to have flared in the Riversway area where the brothers had travelled over from Manchester to carry out some gardening work.
Trouble erupted when several other men, also from Manchester, were going door-to-door in that area, selling compost.
Preston Crown Court was told there had been a feud between two of the men. There had apparently been a number of previous incidents, some of which had involved the police.
On trial are Wayne Langley, 29, of Lingfield Road, Clayton, Manchester; Arthur Pollitt, 54, of Eaves Lane, Oldham and 43-year-old Andrew Pollitt of Park View, Oldham.
All deny a charge of wounding one man, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm on April 3 this year, as well as an alternative charge of unlawful wounding.
Langley and Andrew Pollitt deny wounding another man with intent and and alternative allegation of unlawful wounding.
Andrew Pollitt also denies damaging a Ford Transit vehicle, while Langley and Arthur Pollitt also deny a count of affray.
At the start of the trial Miss Amanda Johnson, prosecuting, said one of the alleged victims was aged 53 and his brother 49.
On April 3 the older brother was helping out his brother in his gardening business. They arrived at the location of their first job around 10am and parked on Riversway.
It was a quiet, residential cul-de-sac where many retired people live, the court heard.
They began to work and by coincidence, the defendants, who are also in the gardening business, were in the same area going door-to-door sellingcompost. The two brothers were spreading compost on a front garden when a flat back vehicle turned up.
It was alleged that Langley got out and armed himself with a pitch fork. One of the alleged victims approached Langley and was allegedly stabbed to the chest with the pitch fork that was being held with two hands.
The younger brother picked up a spade to protect himself, thinking the men had come to kill him, the court heard.
Andrew Pollitt allegedly smashed the passenger window and windscreen with a hammer. One of the brothers tried to swing a spade at him, but did not make contact.
The man, when unarmed, ran towards Langley. It was said he had realised he had no alternative but to fight and ended up struck to the right hand with the pitch fork.
Andrew Pollitt, it is claimed, struck him to the back of the head with a hammer. He lost consciousness, but came to afterwards.
The older man allegedly saw his brother being attacked by the defendant and another male. His brother was described as lying on his back in the road.
The four men were armed with gardening tools and using them as weapons.
The prosecution claim that Andrew Pollitt struck him at least three blows to the region of his head, with a claw hammer. The gardener was putting up his hands in a bid to try and protect his face.
Some of his teeth had been knocked out.
Arthur Pollitt and a fourth man were said to have been stood on each side of his shoulders.
It is claimed they used tools to hold him down on the ground while Andrew Pollitt attacked him with the hammer.
As a result, the older brother ran at the four men. He is said to have been stabbed to the upper arm by two prongs on the pitch fork held by Langley.
Andrew Pollitt, is is claimed, struck him to the head by swinging a hammer.
