Fortement investi par ailleurs dans des mandats locaux, il est également bien connu au niveau national pour ses engagements dans les domaines du tennis de table, du basket-ball et de la presse écrite sportive.

Biographie
Gérard Lollier commence sa carrière sportive en 1937 au patronage paroissial Saint-Jean-Baptiste du Perreux où il commence à prendre des responsabilités qui l'amènent à s'engager dès 18 ans à l'Union départementale de la Seine. Cet engagement se poursuit de 1954 à 1959 par la présidence de la commission fédérale de tennis de table de la Fédération sportive de France (FSF), future Fédération sportive et culturelle de France (FSCF).

La  puis la
Il accepte en 1960 le poste de secrétaire général-adjoint où il seconde Robert Pringarbe au secrétariat sportif jusqu'à son départ à la retraite en 1983. Dès 1963 il impulse un grand tournoi populaire de tennis de table, les Premiers pas pongistes de la Fédération sportive de France, ouvert aux non licenciés. Après avoir connu diverses mutations, cette initiative est reprise par la Fédération française de tennis de table (FFTT) en 1967. Les commissions  de football, de basket-ball et d'athlétisme profitent également de ses talents d'organisateur.

La  lui doit aussi l'organisation des matinées sportives récréatives pour les scolaires, initiée par Robert Pringarbe. Dans le cadre de cette organisation, de 1963 à 1977, le parc des Princes, la Cipale, le palais des sports de la porte de Versailles, le stade Pierre-de-Coubertin et le stade Yves-du-Manoir de Colombes accueillent successivement plusieurs centaines de milliers de jeunes. Les plus grands champions du moment et grands présentateurs de la radio et de la télévision l'assurent de leur participation bénévole.

Pendant les 23 ans de vie professionnelle au service de la  puis de la , il œuvre sous les présidences successives de Gilbert Olivier, Guy Fournet et Jacques Gautheron. Ceux-ci lui laissent la plus grande liberté pour promouvoir, outre le tennis de table, la fédération auprès des médias et du mouvement sportif national et francilien. Aussi son activité de dirigeant sportif déborde largement le seul cadre fédéral.

Autres fonctions et responsabilités
Élu au comité directeur de la  de 1953 à 1966, il y assure la promotion de la discipline auprès des médias. Il y revient après sa retraite et préside le comité de la Ligue d'Île-de-France de 1988 à 1996. Il est élu à nouveau au comité directeur fédéral de 1992 à 1996.

Il participe aussi activement au développement de l'Alsace de Bagnolet dont il assume la présidence pendant 7 ans, de 1972 à 1979, après en avoir été le secrétaire général. Membre de l'Association des clubs de basket-ball, il est chargé, grâce à l'expérience et la réputation acquises au tennis de table, des relations publiques de la Fédération française de basket-ball (FFBB) de 1983 à 1985.

De 1994 à 2000, il préside la commission média/communication du Comité national olympique et sportif français (CNOSF), fonction qui consacre sa seconde carrière de journaliste sportif sous le pseudonyme de Gérard Henry. Il est également responsable des revues Francophonie pongiste et Île-de-France magazine.

Engagements locaux

Élu au conseil municipal du Perreux dès 1959, il y exerce la fonction d'adjoint aux sports de 1966 à 1972. Cet engagement local l'amène à siéger au Comité d'action et de développement de la région est de Paris (CADREP).

Il prend sa retraite à Vence en 2001 et se met aussitôt à la disposition du Vence basket-club dont il assure le secrétariat général. Il assume cette charge, jusqu'à son décès, avec celles de membre de diverses commissions extra-municipales.

Activités internationales
De 1970 à 1995, il est membre de la fédération internationale de tennis de table (ITTF). En 1983, année de sa retraite, il est commissaire général du tournoi préolympique et exerce les mêmes fonctions lors des jeux pongistes de la francophonie de 1992 et 1994.

En 1979, il est le seul journaliste occidental accrédité pour les championnats du monde de tennis de table de Pyongyang en Corée du Nord.

City employees participated in the 2016 People Power Challenge (PPC), an incentive-based, employee engagement program, led by Partners in Project Green.
As the first and only municipality to participate in the PPC, the challenge was an opportunity for Mississauga to be recognized for outstanding sustainability efforts and environmental excellence.
City staff rose to the challenge, taking action to conserve energy, reduce waste and use sustainable modes of transportation.
Impressive outcomes included 837 environmental action pledges from staff, Mayor and City leaders, 38 completed green projects and 347 downloads of the interactive environmental app, Nudge.
The City's Green Leader employee engagement program will continue to promote these positive actions in the workplace.
In 2016, solar PV (photovoltaic) systems were installed at Huron Park and Burnhamthorpe Community Centres. These systems will help these City facilities reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality and protect natural resources.
City staff partnered with an external vendor to lease the roof space, design, install and manage the system at both facilities.
It is expected that this initiative will help the City generate enough electricity to offset approximately 14 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year.
The City's free Earth Markets offer a one-stop shop, market-style event that gives residents the opportunity to learn about the environment in a vibrant and fun atmosphere.
In 2016, more than 1,300 residents attended three Earth Markets that included over 40 environmental exhibitors/vendors and over 10 workshops. The markets also featured film screenings, food, music and green activities.
Earth Markets promote a shared responsibility for a clean and healthy environment and offer residents information and examples of ways to reduce their impact on the environment.
Two Earth Markets are planned for 2017.
For more information, visit www.mississauga.ca/earthmarket.
Mississauga now has data that allows staff to project the future climate in the city from 2015 to 2100. These projections help the City identify the potential risks of climate change and impacts to the organization.
In 2016, the Environment Division worked with an external consultant to lead a City-wide risk assessment. This fueled a conversation about climate change and how to best assess its risks.
The team is reviewing the results of the assessment and will report back with the outcomes and recommendations to mitigate risk.
Green Leaders are City employees who volunteer to champion environmental sustainability in the workplace. They do this by modelling sustainable behaviours and encouraging positive action among colleagues.
The Green Leaders program launched at the Civic Centre in 2014 and expanded to community centre and library staff in 2015. In 2016, the program rolled out to administrative facilities, arenas, museums, and Animal Services.
In total, the City has 90 Green Leaders and 42 facilities recognized as Mississauga Green Facilities.
Green Leaders will continue to expand in 2017 to Fire and Emergency Services, marinas, golf courses, Meadowvale Theatre, and pool facilities. In 2018, it will expand to Transit buildings and remaining staffed facilities.
Mississauga remains committed to greening our city with the use of renewable energy resources.
With a new contract underway, Mississauga will add 5 per cent bio to diesel fuel from April to November. As the population grows, water use has begun to climb.
Work continues towards our goal of planting one million trees. Since our original commitment, 241,030 trees have been planted in Mississauga. Additional natural areas continue to be secured and preserved.

Today's IT leaders have to balance the often-competing demands of delivering greater flexibility, availability and responsiveness to change, with the need to manage costs. To that end, trends and technologies such as cloud computing and understanding the value of big data are becoming more prevalent.
Although the cloud continues to be a major buzzword in the IT industry, big data is closely followed behind. The prospect of accumulating, mining and using vast quantities of information to make better decisions, improve customer service and gain an advantage over rival firms is a big driver for businesses, of all sizes, to implement a big data strategy. With IDC forecasting the big data market to expand at a compound annual growth rate of more than 31 per cent by 2016, it is important that businesses understand that to unlock the true potential of big data, they need to implement a cloud strategy first.
So how does a cloud strategy and big data work together? First of all, new computing models are increasingly being seen as the key to big data infrastructure. Cloud computing can provide organisations with new platforms to manage the rapidly growing sets of data and support the compute power to process it all into tangible and insightful information. The cloud has the ability to add great value to how we store data, with Gartner predicting a third of all content to be in the cloud in just four years. Without access to cloud computing, analysis of data would only be a dream for most organisations, as the high computing power systems are extremely expensive to run. Cloud computing together with big data creates powerful value and insight that helps businesses innovate. This symbiotic approach to big data and the cloud is one recipe that will ensure companies can build momentum in their space and stay ahead of their competitors.
Big data has become a major driver of IT spending and pushing organisations to realise the business benefits of cloud. Companies that harness the intelligence of big data and act on it accordingly can expect to gain a significant competitive edge. It is also provides organisations with the information that could potentially drive innovation and better ways of working. Similarly failing to act on this information can lead to missed opportunities.

Apple execs won't get to feed off the usual live audience's energy during next Monday's WWDC 2020 keynote, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to get excited about.
As usual, Apple will stream the big event for all the world to see.

There supposedly was a big change to HomePod that no one outside Apple knew about.

By Buster Hein • 1:15 pm, March 26, 2020
Everything you need to know about WWDC 2020 will be found in this app.
Apple is gearing up for its first-ever digital-only Worldwide Developers Conference in June with a fresh update to the Apple Developer app.
Formerly called the WWDC app, the Apple Developer app is the one-stop-shop for all the in-depth information developers need on iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and all the other Apple platforms. Today's big update adds some key new features that will make it easier and faster for developers to digest all the new info that comes out of WWDC 2020.
Check out the list of new goodies:
Developers can now make Mac and iOS apps a universal purchase
A single bundle for everything.
It's now possible for developers to make their apps available as a universal purchase. Apple enabled the change on Monday, paving the way for macOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps to be bundled as one.
Apple is not forcing developers to use universal purchases. It does hope, however, that the move will promote the use of Catalyst for porting iPad apps over to Mac.

New Wallace and Gromit Short Film, 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'
Published: November 25, 2008 Last Updated: September 14, 2018
Wallace and Gromit, our favorite clay-modeled inventor and his beagle, take a break from cheese enthusiasm to become baking entrepreneurs. The thirty-minute short film A Matter of Loaf and Death will debut on BBC ONE in December, and be released on DVD next year.
Business is booming at their "Top Bun" bakery—where facilities include robotic kneading arms—until a cereal killer gets loose. Gromit is nervous (but can only make petrified facial expressions since he lacks an actual mouth for talking) while the endearingly absent-minded Wallace is in la-la land, pining for Piella Bakewell, a former Bake-O-Lite bread commercial star. This is the duo's first showing since the Oscar-winning film The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit in 2005. [via Kottke]

"I'm so happy to be leaving but at the same time I'll really miss some of the staff I have met during my stay here.
At first I hated it here but once I settled in, I realised that everyone is here to help and they really do want the best for you. It might sound stupid but I really think this experience has made me a better person.
I've learned so much and I know that if I can overcome this low point in my life, I can overcome anything!"
"When you are going through hell, keep going!
You have to believe its going to get better. You'll be out of here and getting on with your life in no time.
Thank you so much for helping me!"
"There is always going to be a battle.
But it's not about how fast you win that battle or about what's waiting on the other side.
It's about facing it with HOPE, FAITH, COURAGE and PATIENCE!"
Thank you for everything you've done for me over the past 8 weeks. You were all always there for support and advice.
Thank you for everything. You all changed my life for the better.
I don't know where I'd be without your help :D"
This is only the beginning. Things can change and will change. Just have faith."
"Coming here I was terrified but now I'm so happy I did. From the first week on I found hope and strength I didn't think possible and now I'm leaving having accomplished so much here. I didn't think I could do it and I'm leaving knowing I can get through this but only I have the power to make me better.
The help and support I got here from the staff was incredible and I'm so grateful. Thank you all so much. St. Josephs is a life changing place and it's all the people that work here and do everything for the patients that makes that possible. So that you all again for helping me change my life and overcome my illness."
