title: Alan E. Freedman

text:
Alan Eliot Freedman (October 12, 1889 – April 29, 1980) was a pioneer and long-time executive in the motion picture film processing industry.  He founded DeLuxe Laboratories after serving as president of its predecessor, Fox Film Laboratories.  His career lasted over 50 years.

Biography

Freedman was born in the Russian Empire in 1889. Shortly after his birth his parents brought him and several cousins to the United States, settling in New York's upper east side. He had seven younger brothers and sisters, all born in New York.  Freedman retired in 1962, and  died in 1980.

Career

He started his long career in film processing at the industry's infancy in 1907, a time before cameras and projectors had sprockets and film had holes to match in order to assure a constant film flow, and steady exposed and projected image. Safety film, sound, and color reversal film stocks had not been conceived.  And it was a time before continuous processing; when movie film was loaded on racks, batch processed in dip tanks and dried in drums.

His first industry job was with the Wendel film processing laboratory in Manhattan.  He moved to Crystal Film Company in the Bronx shortly thereafter.  In 1911 Fox Film Corporation (later 20th Century Fox) Executive Assistant Sol Wurtzel recruited Freedman as a bookkeeper and paymaster for its laboratory; he was soon promoted to business manager by Vice President Jack Leo, and he went on to run the lab under various titles.  Freedman led the lab through the trials and shortages of World War I, overcoming a catastrophic explosion and fire and finding ways to pioneer improvements in film processing such as the addition of sound.

In the depths of the depression, Freedman bought the lab from Fox Film Corporation, renamed it “DeLuxe”.  In January, 1934, Fox was granted an option to rebuy DeLuxe prior to Dec. 31, 1938. Fox exercised this option in July, 1936 with Freedman remaining as president.[documentation forthcoming] (Since Freedman's retirement, DeLuxe has been sold several times and is now known as DeLuxe Entertainment Services Group.)  Under his direction, various innovations, including the processing and sound striping of Cinemascope, were developed and implemented.  Many of those were patented and/or received Academy awards.
During World War II, in addition to processing films from Fox and the other studios, his firm worked with the Signal Corps and the War Department to process military surveillance and training films.  In appreciation, the War Department presented Freedman its patriotic services award.  Similarly, the Commerce Department presented two certificates of appreciation, one in 1953 for services rendered ... in time of national emergency ... without compensation and one for his ... contribution to the defense of the United States by [his] service in the National Defense Executive Reserve.  After the war, Freedman served as an UNESCO emissary to Europe to re-establish and vitalize film industries there.

Freedman   had a great ability to forge low-key behind-the-scenes agreements which benefited all parties.  One major accomplishment was to arrange financing for Robert Benjamin and Arthur Krim to buy United Artists in the early 1950s.  This action had a side benefit for DeLuxe in that UA contracted to buy film processing services from the lab.  During the 1950s and 1960s, DeLuxe negotiated with the union on behalf of all the New York Labs.  Freedman worked behind the scenes while using his assistant and son Irwin (Buck) Freedman as the point man at the negotiating table.  He was also chairman of the Motion Picture Laboratory Technicians, Local 702, Pension and Welfare Funds.
Freedman was a pioneer member of the Society for Motion Picture Engineers.  He was also a member of the Will Rogers Motion Pictures Pioneers Foundation, earning a Citation of Honor for "… dedicated and distinguished humanitarian service to the people of the entertainment industry [and] augmenting his participation in matters of the board of directors," and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
He received many awards and testimonials including a lifetime achievement award from the Motion Pictures and Television Industries and recognition from the Encyclopædia Britannica Educational Corporation for outstanding contributions to the cause of audiovisual education.

Sons’ Careers in Motion Picture Film Processing, Sales and Rejuvenation

Alan Freedman's three sons – Harold, Irwin (Buck), and Myron (Mickey) – all began their careers with DeLuxe.

Harold served as Engineering Assistant to the President, managed the sound department.  He was instrumental in the development and implementation of numerous innovations in sound technology including the conversion from optical to magnetic processes.  He in addition  conceived and patented the product and technique for film splicing utilizing a sprocketed adhesive backed film, a technique that is still in use today.  After DeLuxe closed its New York plant, Harold finished his career with Technicolor.

Buck served both as Assistant to the President and as president of the Toronto lab.  He represented the New York labs in union contract negotiations.  In the early 1960s when Fox was again running into great financial difficulties  Buck kept product flowing into DeLuxe by successfully selling DeLuxe's excess capacity to most of New York's independent producers.  He left DeLuxe shortly after the Zanuck takeover of Fox, and was motion picture film national sales manager for Agfa-Gevaert until his retirement.

Mickey managed DeLuxe's Chicago Crescent lab.  After leaving DeLuxe, Mickey pioneered and then improved film rejuvenation.  He patented and implemented new techniques which improved both quality and profitability, and he served as general manager of Hollywood Film Corp.

title: Zdenek Rykr

text:
Zdenek Rykr (26 October 1900 – 15 January 1940) was a Czechoslovak painter, illustrator, journalist, and theater designer.

Life
Zdenek Rykr was born in the Chotěboř train station. When he was seven his family moved to Kolín, where his father, a railway inspector, had been transferred. This is where he spent his childhood and student years. After graduating from the grammar school he was not accepted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and so he chose to study Art History and Classical archaeology at the faculty of philosophy, where he completed a doctorate in 1924. Despite the knowledge he accumulated during his studies, his artistic abilities were self-taught. At the beginning his artwork is mostly paintings, and subsequently evolves into graphic design.

In 2016, film director Andrea Culková released H*art On, a documentary about the lives of Zdenek Rykr and his wife, Milada Součková. In the film, Součková is portrayed by Czech musical artist Sonja Vectomov.

Work
In 1925, Rykr illustrated Emil Vachek’s Bidýlko, and from 1925 to 1927 he was a theater designer at the National Theatre (Prague). In parallel, he worked as a graphic designer for advertising, for example for the Baťa company. His designs for the Maršner chocolate company, for which he created the blue Orion star for the Kofila chocolate wrapper, are still famous today. He also created designs for the Kolín oil refinery, Kulík coffee, Čedok and [Škoda Auto].

His art gradually strayed from the realism of his early paintings, and from the 1930s he focused on the creation of assemblages and collages, which foreshadowed his work of the 1960s. He got inspired by his numerous travels across the globe, and was strongly influenced by Surrealism and Oriental Calligraphy.

In the 1920s he also worked as a journalist, contributed to the creation of the satiric magazine Trh, authored pamphlets, and in 1930-31 edited the magazine Domov a svět. His pointed criticism and controversial opinions made him an unpopular figure in the 1920s and 30s. He is associated with the Devětsil generation of avant-garde artists rather as an outsider or lone wolf. He tried on many styles, which he quickly discarded as worthless. His generation saw him as a disjointed eclectic or as the dark conscience of the avant-garde.

At first he exhibited as a guest with the Tvrdošíjni group of painters, and later had several solo shows and even exhibited his work at the [Société des Artistes Indépendants Salon des indépendants in Paris], where unlike in his native country it was a great success.

To avoid the Gestapo he committed suicide by throwing himself under a train in the Barrandov section of Prague on 15 January 1940.

His wife, Milada Součková (1898–1983) was a Czech writer, literary historian, and diplomat, known for introducing Modernist techniques to Czech literature.

title: Impossible Is Nothing (Iggy Azalea song)

text:
"Impossible Is Nothing" is a song recorded by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea for her debut studio album, The New Classic (2014). It was written by Azalea, The Invisible Men, Jon Turner, and Jon Mills of The Arcade. The track contains an interpolation of French-Lebanese composer Gabriel Yared's "Proust", and was produced by The Invisible Men and The Arcade. A downtempo, hip hop song, it features a tinkering beat which comprises percussion instrumentation such as chimes and a glockenspiel. Azalea raps the track's aspirational lyrics with a mantra technique, pertaining to themes of perseverance, empowerment and underdog triumphalism.

The song was released as a promotional single from the album on 9 March 2014. It received mixed reviews from music critics who were divided on the sincerity and originality of the track's lyrical content. Upon release, the song debuted within the lower regions of the UK Singles Chart and the UK R&B Chart.

Background and release
"Impossible Is Nothing" was written by Iggy Azalea, The Invisible Men, Jon Turner, and Jon Mills of The Arcade for Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014). It contains an interpolation of "Proust" by French-Lebanese composer Gabriel Yared. The song was produced by The Invisible Men and The Arcade, while the "Proust" recreation was produced by Richard Adlam and Hol Ritson. Azalea recorded her vocals at Grove Studios in London, and Conway Studios in Los Angeles where the mixing process was completed by Anthony Kilhoffer—with the assistance of Kyle Ross—at The Mix Spot.

The song's title was first revealed by Azalea on 8 August 2013 on Instagram in an image of the album's tentative track listing. On 24 February 2014, Azalea announced the song as a promotional single that would serve as an "instant grat" digital download from the iTunes Store pre-order of The New Classic. The release was initially planned for 4 March 2014, but was slated to a date of 9 March 2014 instead. In Canada, the song was released separately from the pre-order on 21 April 2014.

Composition

"Impossible Is Nothing" is a semi-subdued, downtempo, hip hop song. Caitlyn Carter of the Music Times writes that the track has a "haunting-yet-upbeat" sound. According to John Walker of MTV News, the song takes on a more "vulnerable" sound than Azalea's previous material. The track's instrumentation includes keyboards, drums, an electric guitar line backing, and synthesizers. It features a tinkering beat produced by tuned percussion instruments including chimes and a glockenspiel which causes eerie loop sound effects in the song. A string of siren sound effects are also heard throughout. Azalea's delivery is rapped with a mantra technique.

With aspirational lyrics, "Impossible Is Nothing" contains themes of perseverance, empowerment and "underdog triumphalism". It also showcases ideas of prosocial behavior and "blonde ambition". The lyrics welcome newcomers in the music industry, "I even hope at one point you take it farther than me", and speak of self-empowerment: "I shall never let 'em see me sweat / Promise to want for more until my very last breath / Promise to blaze a path and leave a trail for the next / And never sell out my soul for any number on a check". According to Lucy O'Brien of The Quietus, the lyrics portray Azalea as "the hardworking Aussie girl and the feminist goddess urging with messianic fervour". John Lucas of The Georgia Straight describes the song as a "bite-sized motivational seminar". "Impossible Is Nothing" was compared to songs by Eminem, specifically from his 2010 album Recovery.

Critical reception

"Impossible Is Nothing" received mixed reviews from music critics. In a positive review, Saeed Saeed of The National wrote that it was among two tracks on The New Classic "that stand out, out of pure will", and complimented its "moody" sound. Eric Diep of XXL also deemed it a highlight on the album, and commended its "heartfelt story". A writer for Rap-Up described the track as an "empowering anthem". Maria Therese Seefeldt Stæhr of Gaffa praised the track's production. Stereogum's Chris DeVille called it "the best Eminem song in years". Josiah Hughes of Exclaim! wrote positively of the song's "banging beat" and inspirational lyrics. A writer for Oyster praised the sincerity of the lyrics and the "power of its uplifting and never-quitting #feels". Digital Spy's Emily Mackay noted "a ballsy power to [Azalea's] self-made self-belief" in the song. While Nick Aveling of Time Out felt the track played to Azalea's "substantive strengths". Charlotte Richardson Andrews of NME opined that it showcased Azalea's "wit, personality and lyrical prowess". Similarly, The Line of Best Fit's Laurence Day felt the track manifested the rapper as "an affable bundle of chum-ly charm with lessons (not patronising lectures) that are applicable for anyone with a lick of ambition". Craig Mathieson of The Sydney Morning Herald praised the song's "unexpected complement" of inspirational lyrics with spectral melodies.

Idolator reviewers were divided; Carl Williott deemed the song "a thudding piece of inspirational rap", while Christina Lee wrote that it was "tepid" and hinted at "'storms' and 'goals' like posters in a school guidance counselor's office". Other reviewers were also critical of the track's lyrics; Alfred Soto of Spin said it "lays out every admonitory cliché from the Barnes & Noble self-help shelf"—a view echoed by Lindsay Zoladz of New York who dismissed it as "inspirational quotes copied from a high-school guidance counselor's bulletin board". Karen Lawler of Blues & Soul wrote: "While, [the track is] is bound to be a favourite among Iggy fans, it's a subject that's been done millions of time before and it's been done better". Nolan Feeney of Time commented on its originality in a comparison with the 2012 track "Ten Thousand Hours" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: "The platitudes of 'Impossible Is Nothing' await whoever didn't finish putting in their 10,000 hours on Macklemore's own you-can-do-it-too anthem".

"Impossible Is Nothing" was named as one of the two worst songs on The New Classic by Devone Jones of PopMatters who criticized Azalea for "literally preaching—to youths, rather than [relating] to them". AbsolutePunk's Jake Jenkins called it "a muddled mess of a narrative", and added, "[The track] does nothing to give us a clear picture, or any picture at all really, of what [Azalea's] been through". Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said that the song was "sort of blandly inspirational" and "as numbing" as material by T.I. While Troy L. Smith of The Plain Dealer felt Azalea "[showed] promise" with the song; he dismissed the production as "leftovers from one of Eminem's recent albums".

title: Maine Charitable Mechanic Association

text:
The Maine Charitable Mechanic Association is a private non-profit organization located in Portland, Maine, United States. Founded in 1815, it has since 1859 been headquartered at Mechanics' Hall, 519 Congress Street, in the center of Portland. The library's hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Founding
The MCMA was founded in 1815 as a way for local tradesmen to pool their resources, better their educations, and improve the quality of their work. Like many similar organizations that emerged in this period, the association aimed to help workers make the transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy. The association sponsored education for apprentices who worked as carpenters, masons, shipbuilders, jewelers, ironworkers, watchmakers, riggers, instrument makers, glass workers and more. The association's charter also declared that money would be set aside for "relieving the distress of unfortunate mechanics and their families."

History
The MCMA opened its library in 1820. The library was housed in several locations around Portland until the erection in 1859 of Mechanics' Hall, built by members of the organization for their own use. The hall was designed by Thomas J. Sparrow, the first professional architect in Portland. In the late 1800s, famed local architect John Calvin Stevens designed the Mechanics' Hall ballroom.  Mechanics' Hall was in 1973 added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The association flourished in the 19th century. It hosted many events, including musical performances and dances. Lectures were an especially popular draw for the organization; speakers like John Neal expounded on such topics as anatomy, physiology, natural philosophy, and modes of heating.

The MCMA also held several fairs and exhibitions to showcase the work of its members. Perhaps the grandest of these took place in 1854, when the association was not only allowed to use all the unused space in Portland City Hall, but raised a two-story building across the street and filled it with exhibits.

Mechanics' Hall was on occasion used for governmental purposes. In 1861 the MCMA offered the use of Mechanics' Hall as a mustering station for soldiers on their way to fight in the Civil War. After a terrible fire destroyed much of Portland in 1866, Mechanics' Hall served for a time as City Hall.

In 1875, the MCMA began to offer free classes in mechanical drawing, a practice it would continue until 1983. John Calvin Stevens was among the instructors.

Membership in the Maine Charitable Mechanic Association dwindled through the 20th and early 21st century as did the scope of its activities. However, the association is now enjoying a renaissance with many new members and enlivened creative programming. Today, MCMA has about four hundred members. It continues to operate its library at Mechanics' Hall, which offers a slate of lectures, book groups, and other events of artistic and historical interest. Its collection contains over 30,000 volumes that include both general interests and specialized collections. It is one of the few membership libraries still active in the United States, and one of the few Mechanics' Institutes remaining in the western hemisphere.

title: Meldova tsässon

text:
Meldova tsässon is a small Seto chapel, situated in Polovina village, Setomaa Parish in Võru County in Estonia, about 5 kilometres east from Obinitsa village.

General information
The building is not state-protected. It is in good condition. The estimated time of building is 1753 (Läänelaid et al. 2005). Tsässon is dedicated to the Great martyr St. Anastasia. In addition to Meldova, November 11, also known as Nahtsipäev is a tsässon feast in Uusvada, Rokina, Serga, Küllätüvä and Matsuri. According to a folk myth, it was built by Saava Kirillov who once discovered the icon of St. Anastasia and decided to build a sanctuary as there were no chapels dedicated to Anastasia in the region. Anastasia (in Seto language Nahtsi) is a martyr in church tradition, Seto people speak of her as the protector of women and a health saint. The grandchild of Saava, Gabril Kirillo renovated the tsässon and also replaced the cross on the roof with a new one.

Building data
Meldova tsässon is a small pine cross-beam building, which has a square floor plan and backwards halving with one interior room (ca 5 m2) and an open entrance room. The dimensions of the tsässon are 382 (l) x 256 (w) cm together with the entrance-room, which makes up 83 cm of the total building. The entrance-room has a saw-profiled barrier made from vertical boards. There has probably never been a gate. The door posts have been hand hewn. The leaf of the door is made from two hand-hewn wide boards fixed on the crosspiece. Two granite stones are used in front of the entrance as stairs. The height of the building from the granite stone foundation to where the rafter and the wall unite is 1.77 m. Some of the logs have been replaced in time. Tsässon does not have any boarding on the inside or on the outside. The wall in the north-west has a single-pane wooden window. A former hole for a cauldron is situated in the south-eastern wall in the penultimate upper log. There is no ceiling or floor beams. The floor is made of half-beams hewn from above; they are about 12–17 cm of diameter on average. Half-beams have been tenoned in the end walls. It is probable that the floor is original. At first, the building had a board-roof, as the baulks with raising-plate construction and earlier photos indicate. Today, the roof has a double fir tree-shingle roof. The earlier raising-plate baulks have been replaced by hewn barling baulks. A tall metal welded cross is also on the roof, placed on a round dome. The cross of today was made in the 1990s during the replacement of the roof and made on the example of the old cross.

Furnishing
A long icon table is attached between the logs along the back wall. There are icons on the icon table that have been covered by differently patterned icon scarves: a woven icon scarf made from wool, a painted icon scarf and a fine linen icon scarf with woven patterned ends. There are two candle sticks on the icon table. A table is situated in front of the icon table, in the middle of the tsässon. A simple oil lamp hangs from the ceiling. There are printed icons and images on the back and side walls. During inventory-taking of 1974, several icons have been denoted, most of them have disappeared by now: Icon with the image of ascetic Serafim, martyr Anastasia and Paraskeva, icon with two saints on it, icon with the image of Pechory Mother of God (a copy of the original Mother of God of Pechory, the imprimatur of which was received from the censor of Moscow on 10 March 1887). The lamp (lampatka) that hangs in front of the icons has been referred to as very interesting, as it is made from light grey porcelain and dark red glass (Kupp 1974).

The 1982 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 2, 1982. Incumbent United States Senator John Melcher, who was first elected to the Senate in 1976, opted to run for re-election. He won the Democratic primary after he faced a tough intraparty challenger, and advanced to the general election, where he faced Larry R. Williams, an author and the Republican nominee, and Larry Dodge, the Libertarian nominee. Though his margin was reduced significantly from his initial election, Melcher still comfortably won re-election to his second and final term in the Senate.

Democratic primary

Candidates
John Melcher, incumbent United States Senator
Michael Bond, housing contractor
Henry Hardy, retired railroad worker

Campaign
During his first term in the Senate, Melcher's relative conservatism for a Democrat prompted a primary challenger in Michael Bond, a housing contractor who campaigned on his opposition to nuclear war. Bond attacked Melcher for voting to increase spending on nuclear arms, and pledged to reduce military spending to $60 billion and to use the savings to reduce interest rates. During the campaign, Bond came under fire from the state branches of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans for turning in his draft card in 1967 to protest the Vietnam War, who put out a statement, saying, "There is no place in the U.S. Senate for any draft dodger, draft card burner or draft protester of any kind."

title: Matti Suuronen

text:
Matti Suuronen (14 June 1933 – 16 April 2013) was a Finnish architect and designer who is best known for designing the Futuro and Venturo homes in the Casa Finlandia series. The marvelous design of the Futuro went into production in both Finland and worldwide under license in various colors, upholstery, and number of seats and rooms. Furthermore, Suuronen is also internationally known for designing buildings (especially the Futuro and Venturo), which made the novel use of materials such as polyester resin, fiberglass, and acrylic windows. Apart from the Futuro and Venturo homes, Suuronen additionally designed several buildings such as apartments, detached and terraced homes, offices, kiosks, petrol stations, and public and industrial buildings. Suuronen's designs have been installed around the world, including such locations as the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.

Life and career

Matti Johannes Suuronen was born on 14 June 1933 in Lammi, a former municipality of Finland. During the late 1950s, he participated in a four-day workshop, where he familiarized himself with glass-reinforced polyester plastics. Suuronen became interested in the new raw material, which he later used as designing material in future projects. He worked at several practices between 1955 and 1961 while studying architecture. Suuronen graduated from Helsinki University of Technology in 1961 and established his own architectural firm the same year. He received his first experience of glass-reinforced polyester plastics in 1964, when he got the opportunity to design a cupola of eight meters in diameter to cover a grain silo located in Seinäjoki.

In 1965, Matti Suuronen was asked by his former schoolmate, Dr. Jaakko Hiidenkari, to design a ski cabin that would be “quick to heat and easy to construct in rough terrain.” The project was called the After-Ski cabin. Having already been familiar with the use of fiberglass-reinforced polyester plastic in the past, Suuronen used this material in his project to produce the cabin. In addition, the house would consist of 16 pieces that were to be bolted together to form the floor, roof, and shape of the house. This would allow the project to be assembled on site or even be airlifted in one piece by helicopter on site. The ultimately ellipsoidal building shell was based on the decision for a mathematically determinable shape with optimal volume. The contract for constructing it was ultimately awarded to Polykem Ltd., a company that specializes in the manufacturing of plastic and neon signs, following a competitive offer to whoever would build the cabin. The result was a universally transportable home that had the ability to be mass replicated and situated in almost any environment.

The first ever mass-produced home by Suuronen was Futuro no. 001, which was owned by Finnish actor and screenwriter Matti Kuusla and formerly located in Hirvensalmi, Finland. However, the installation of the house on the wooded shore of Lake Puulavesi caused a local outcry. Nevertheless, the house would make an international breakthrough in October 1968 when the third Futuro (no. 002) was displayed at the Finnfocus 68 fair in London.

Capitalizing on the Futuro's international exposure, Polykem Ltd. soon launched a whole series of plastic buildings designed by Suuronen. The Casa Finlandia series included the CF-100/200 service station (1969), the CF-10 kiosk (1970) and the CF-45 residential/commercial building, better known as Venturo (1971). All buildings in the Case Finlandia series were designed to be durable and convenient to mass-produce, transport, and assembled on site.

In 1969, Suuronen designed the Gulf service station in Lempäälä, which was made from the same materials used in the Futuro. According to old advertisements, Lempäälä was the first in the filling station series to be completed. Three more Gulf stations were produced and erected in Tampere, Vantaa, and Kemi. The last two stations have double the space that covers an area of . Engineering critics have noted that some of these early works, such as Suuronen's innovative petrol station design in Lempäälä, suffered long-term performance problems due to the material limitations of early composites.

In 1971, Suuronen designed the Venturo, the last fiberglass-reinforced polyester plastic building in the Casa Finlandia series. Originally conceived as a weekend house or bungalow, the Venturo were conveniently used as banks, kiosks, cafés, filling stations, and much more. However, the Casa Finlandia series would be a short-lived success. The 1973 oil crisis resulted in gasoline prices to skyrocket, which caused the manufacturing of plastic to be expensive. Because of this the costs of manufacturing plastic buildings rose prohibitively.

Suuronen continued designing standard buildings through the latter of the 20th century.

Personal life
Throughout his life, Suuronen had been keen on the sport of volleyball and was part of Finland's national league. He married professional pianist, Sirkku, and had three children. He also designed his own home for the family, as well as designing his own architectural studio within the residency. Suuronen spent his final years short of money. In addition, Suuronen had several health issues and didn't have the energy to further pursue designing. Suuronen's daughter, Sari, stated to The Guardian that:
''He [Suuronen] was always very optimistic about his health. He played volleyball up until his last operation. He never lost his vivid, creative mind and his lust for creating something more for the world.

Suuronen died from a lengthy illness on 16 April 2013 in Espoo, Finland at age 79. He had cancer, as well as heart and respiratory problems.

Marc-René de Voyer de Paulmy d'Argenson (1771–1842), a member of the French Chamber of Deputies. D'Argenson was a grandson of Marc-Pierre, Count d'Argenson. He was a prefect of Deux-Nèthes from 1809 to 1813. As a member of the Chamber of Dueputies during the Hundred Days in 1815, he was a member of the French deputation to the allies to obtain the exclusion of the Bourbons. After the second restoration of Louis XVIII he was often elected as a member of the Chamber of Deputies and voted with the opposition.

Biography
D'Argenson, son of Marc René, Marquis de Voyer de Paulmy d’Argenson, was born in Paris in September 1771. He was brought up by his father's cousin, Marc Antoine René, Marquis de Paulmy, governor of the arsenal, and was made lieutenant of dragoons in 1789. Although, at the age of eighteen, he had succeeded to several estates and a large fortune, he embraced the revolutionary cause, joining the army of the North as Lafayette's aide-de-camp and remaining with it even after Lafayette's defection. Leaving France to take one of his sisters to England, he was denounced on his return as a royalist conspirator, on the charge of having in his possession portraits of the royal family.

He then went to live in Touraine, married the widow of Prince Victor de Broglie, and saved her and her children from proscription. He introduced new agricultural instruments and processes on his estates, and installed machinery imported from England in his ironworks in Alsace.

He was an enthusiastic adherent of Napoleon, by whom he was appointed in May 1809 prefect of Deux-Nèthes. He helped to repel the English invasion of the islands of South Beveland and Walcheren (August 1809), and afterwards directed the defence works of Antwerp, but resigned this post (March 1813) in consequence of the complaints of the inhabitants and the exacting demands of the Emperor. In May 1814 he refused the prefecture of Marseille offered to him by the Bourbons, but was elected deputy from Belfort in 1815 during the Hundred Days.

On 5 July 1815 d'Argenson took part in the declaration protesting against any tampering with the immutable rights of the nation. He was a member of the Chambre introuvable, where he became one of the orators of the democratic party. He was one of the founders of the journal Le Censeur Européen and of the Club de la liberté de la presse, and was an uncompromising opponent of reaction. Not re-elected in 1824 on account of his liberal ideas, he returned to the chamber under the Martignac Ministry (1828), and resolutely persisted in his championship of the liberty of the press and of public worship. On the death of his wife he voluntarily renounced his mandate (July 1829), and hailed the revolution of 1830 with great satisfaction.

On 3 November 1830 d'Argenson was elected to the chamber as deputy from Châtellerault, and took the oath, adding, however, the reservation "subject to the progress of the public reason". His independent attitude resulted in his defeat in the following year at the Châtellerault election, but he was returned for Strasbourg. He wished the incidence of the taxes to be arranged according to social condition, and advocated a single tax proportionate to income like the English income tax. He harped incessantly on this idea in his speeches and articles.

Although d'Argenson was a proprietor of ironworks he opposed the protectionist laws, which he considered injurious to the workmen. He became the mouthpiece of the advanced ideas; subsidized the opposition newspapers, especially Le National; received into his house Philippe Buonarroti, who in 1796 had been implicated in the conspiracy of "Gracchus" (François Noel Babeuf); and became a member of the committee of the Society of the Rights of Man. He was even sued in the courts for a pamphlet called Boutade d’un homme riche à sentiments populaires, and delivered a speech to the jury in which he displayed very daring social theories. But he gradually grew discouraged and retired from public affairs, refusing even municipal office, and living in seclusion at La Grange in the , where he devoted his inventive faculty to devising agricultural improvements. He subsequently returned to Paris, where he died on 1 August 1842.

Dutee Wilcox Flint (December 19, 1882 – March 31, 1961) was a Rhode Island state senator and business magnate in the Rhode Island and Connecticut area.

Business career
Flint was primarily invested in the automobile industry, but also owned a number of radio stations (like what is now known as WPRO (AM)), and the Dutee W. Flint Oil Company. By the beginning of the 1930s, however, he was not the owner of many of these assets; the Dutee W. Flint Oil Company was sold to Socony in 1929, WPRO (AM) was sold to Cherry & Webb Broadcasting in 1931. Most importantly, and after the discontinuance of the Model T in 1927, was forced to sell his stock and Ford dealerships, along with most other assets he had in the Ford Motor Company.

title: Didicar

text:
Didicar is a self-propelled ride on toy made of polypropylene designed for children aged 3 years and up. The Didicar starts moving when the rider turns the steering wheel left and right. Thanks to the rotation of the steering wheel, the Didicar leverages its frictional force, gravity and inertia to move forward and backward. It is designed for hard, smooth or flat surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. It has no pedals, motors, batteries or greasy chains.

Design
The Didicar looks like a four-wheeled scooter with a steering wheel in front. The child drives the Didicar seated on the seat with their feet resting on the front foot plates and with the legs surrounding the steering column. The Didicar has 6 wheels, 2 at the back and 4 in the front. Only the 2 rear wheels and two front Drive Wheels touch the floor. The first two wheels at the front of the front wheel assembly never touch the floor and help maintain stability and security in case the child leans forward. The larger front drive wheels of the front wheel assembly are connected to the steering wheel through a steering column. These are the wheels that move the vehicle. The rear wheels have independent rotation. The body and wheels are made of polypropylene, while roller bearings and other metal parts are made from stainless steel.

Didicar is designed for children from 3 years and adults with a maximum weight of up to 120 kg, and can reach speeds up to 6 mph. It's designed for use on hard, smooth, flat surfaces, both in indoors and outdoors. It's available in several different colours including blue, green, purple, pink, red and yellow.

History and marketing
Didicar was introduced to the UK and Ireland in 2004 by Simac Marketing Ltd and is distributed in Spain and Portugal by Toycy Toys. It is sold for use as a domestic toy, as well as in schools.
