Like many fortunes, Madam C.J. Walker's started with a dream. As she later explained to a newspaper reporter, Walker was earning barely a dollar a day as a washerwoman when she had a dream about a man who told her how to create a hair-growing tonic. When she awoke, Walker sent away for the ingredients, investing $1.25 in what she eventually dubbed "Madam Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower." The venture would propel her to become one of America's first black female entrepreneurs—and reportedly the first self-made female millionaire in the nation.
Born Sarah Breedlove on December 23, 1867 to freed slaves on a plantation in Delta, Louisiana, the woman who would become known as Madam C.J. Walker was orphaned by age 7 and married by 14. The couple had one child, Lelia (later known as A'Lelia), but six years into the marriage, Walker's husband died, by some accounts in a race riot. Walker then worked washing clothes while dreaming of building a better life for her daughter. "As I bent over the washboard and looked at my arms buried in soapsuds," she later told The New York Times, "I said to myself: 'What are you going to do when you grow old and your back gets stiff? Who is going to take care of your little girl?'"
By 1903, Walker had relocated to St. Louis and started to work for an African-American hair care company before then moving to Denver, where she had heard that the dry air exacerbated hair and scalp issues. At the time, such complaints were widespread among African-Americans, in part due to a lack of black-focused products and access to indoor plumbing. By the early 1900s, Walker herself had lost much of her hair.
Then came her dream. "[I] put it on my scalp," she later said of the tonic, "and in a few weeks my hair was coming in faster than it had ever fallen out."
In 1905, Walker began selling her solution door-to-door and at church events. She took the product on tour, traveling throughout the South and Northeast and recruiting other door-to-door saleswomen. A year later, she married Charles Joseph Walker and established the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, and in 1908 founded Lelia College in Pittsburgh, a beauty parlor and school for training Madam Walker brand ambassadors. Two years later, she relocated her business headquarters to Indianapolis—then a commercial hub—where she and a mostly female cadre of top executives produced Wonderful Hair Grower on an industrial scale.
A'Lelia, however, was not content with the Midwestern milieu. In 1913 she convinced her mother to open an office in New York and decamped to Manhattan, acquiring a stately Harlem townhouse designed by Vertner Tandy, the first registered black architect in the state. The home, later nicknamed the Dark Tower after poet Countee Cullen's "From the Dark Tower," included a Lelia College outpost on the first floor and living and entertaining spaces on the top three. A'Lelia frequently threw lavish parties there, attended by Harlem Renaissance luminaries such as Zora Neale Hurston, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Langston Hughes.
Walker followed A'Lelia north, where she purchased the adjacent townhouse. Soon, she was a cultural mover and shaker in her own right, joining the NAACP's New York chapter and helping to orchestrate the Silent Protest Parade in 1917, when roughly 10,000 African-Americans marched down Fifth Avenue as a demonstration against the East St. Louis race riots earlier that year, in which dozens of African-Americans had been killed.
"She became politically active and very much an advocate of women's economic independence," Walker's great-great-granddaughter A'Lelia Bundles, a journalist and biographer, tells Mental Floss. "She used her national platform to advocate for civil rights."
The same year as the Silent Protest, Walker and a handful of Harlem leaders traveled to the White House to petition for anti-lynching legislation, and donated $5000 to the NAACP's Anti-Lynching Fund—the largest single gift ever recorded by the fund. In 1916, she established the Madam C. J. Walker Benevolent Association, a program that encouraged Walker brand ambassadors to engage in charity work and hygiene education outreach.
As her empire grew, Walker continued to monumentalize her success. In 1916, she bought a four-acre parcel of land in Irvington, New York, and enlisted Tandy to design her a home to rival the nearby estates of Jay Gould and John D. Rockefeller. Her determination only swelled in the face of realtors who tried to charge her twice the price of the land to discourage her, and incredulous neighbors who reportedly mistook the hair care baroness for a maid when she arrived at the property in her Ford Model T.

Like her Manhattan residence, the mansion became a popular hang-out for the writers and artists of the Harlem Renaissance. Walker also used the home to give back. "She made a blanket invitation to the returning African American soldiers [from World War I] to please come visit the home," Bundles says. It also served as a kind of early safe space for A'Lelia and her largely LGBTQ social network.
But almost as soon as the home was complete, Madam Walker's health began to crumble. Though she was diagnosed with high blood pressure and kidney problems, Walker continued to work and roll out new products. "Like most entrepreneurs she couldn't figure out how to slow down," Bundles says. "She needed to rest, but she couldn't really make herself."
In the spring of 1919, while on a business trip to St. Louis to unveil five new formulas, Walker fell gravely ill and was shuttled back to Irvington in a private car. That May, she died of kidney failure at the age of 51.
Yet her influence would live on. At the time of her death, an estimated 40,000 black women had been trained as Walker saleswomen. In 1927 the Madame Walker Theatre Center opened in Indianapolis, housing offices, a manufacturing center, and a theater. Her name on the building reflected her unprecedented imprint on black entrepreneurship.

The Madam C.J. Walker brand also survived. In fact, it's recently been revitalized, after black-owned hair care company Sundial acquired it in 2016, debuting two dozen new formulas exclusively at Sephora that same year. "It's very glam," says Bundles, who serves as the line's historical consultant. In a historic deal in November 2017, consumer goods conglomerate Unilever acquired Sundial's $240 million portfolio, and as part of the agreement designated $50 million to empower businesses led by women of color.
Walker's house, known as Villa Lewaro, has had a rockier afterlife, having been owned by the NAACP and then used as an assisted living center for decades. In 1993, stock broker and U.S. ambassador Harold Doley and his wife Helena purchased the property, committing to a years-long restoration process. They secured a protective easement for the site, in order to prevent future buyers from altering the appearance of the home—a means of preserving the house's history, and that of Madam Walker. Earlier this month, the home was acquired by the New Voices Foundation, a leadership-focused organization that helps women entrepreneurs of color achieve their visions.
"Under the 25-year stewardship of Ambassador Harold Doley Jr. and his wife Helena, Villa Lewaro flourished as a monument to all that Madam Walker represented; the spirit of American entrepreneurship, perseverance in the face of adversity, and African American achievement," Brent Leggs, director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, said in a statement. "We believe that the New Voices Foundation's and Dennis Family's stewardship of this site will not only ensure its future, but will lay the foundation for a new generation of entrepreneurs and cultural leaders to explore ways they too can preserve places that help to tell the full American story."
Walker's legacy is also likely to gain a new round of admirers with the recently announced Octavia Spencer-fronted Netflix series about her life, which is based on On Her Own Ground, a biography written by Bundles.
With her brand in full swing and her life story about to be immortalized on the small screen, it seems that even in death, Madam Walker's dream lives on.

Lydia Locke, the Early 20th Century Opera Singer With a Life Ripped From the Tabloids

If the events of Lydia Locke's life ever became the inspiration for an opera, the plot would probably get accused of being over the top.
Locke rose to prominence in the early 1900s, when mass celebrity was still a relatively new concept. But the American soprano embraced the label, making news both for her performances at the world's most prestigious venues and for her fashion choices. Yet it was her tumultuous personal life that garnered the most attention: Between seven marriages, two dead husbands, and one fraudulent baby, her life was scandalous even by the standards of today's news.
'Til Death Do Us Part
Lydia Locke was born into a humble household in Hannibal, Missouri, in 1886. She started performing on stage as a teenager, and had reached full-fledged stardom by her early twenties. As a young adult, she performed at Oscar Hammerstein's London Opera House and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She maintained an extravagant persona off-stage, with magazines writing about where she traveled on vacation and what she wore to the latest party at the Ritz-Carlton.
There was a messy love life hiding behind the glamorous image. Around age 22, Locke married her first husband, 43-year-old Reginald W. Talbot, in Reno, Nevada. Their marriage was stormy from the start. Talbot, who had already been married three times before, was a gambler who had hoped for a wife that would make home life a peaceful contrast to his time at the casino. Locke wasn't interested in becoming a model of domesticity, and after a year of arguing over the matter, Talbot beat her brutally one night.
They met with Locke's divorce lawyer the next morning, but having a third person in the room did little to defuse the tension. They started arguing, Talbot became violent, and Locke retaliated by pulling a pistol from her fur muff and shooting her husband three times.
Reginald Talbot died in the lawyer's office, and Locke was charged with his murder. The prosecution attempted to paint her as an amoral killer, but thanks to testimony of Talbot's abuse from the house staff, as well as Locke's sweet voice and good looks, she won over the jury. They even applauded when the singer was acquitted.
A Honeymoon Cut Short
Now single, Locke redirected her energy into her professional life, performing in operas in Paris and Chicago. But it didn't take long for her to find husband No. 2. Orville Harrold was a former hearse driver from Muncie, Indiana, and an opera tenor who worked for Oscar Hammerstein. He was also married. That didn't stop him from falling for Locke, and a few days after finalizing his divorce from his wife back home, he married Locke in 1913. He told publications that his new wife was "one of the greatest things in my life. Lydia is of intellectual assistance to me. She possesses an amiable and loving disposition."
His bride, meanwhile, declared her commitment in interviews. "Woman is spoiled," she said. "So many of her sex have demanded affection and given nothing in return for so long that she hasn't awakened to the fact that the ideal companionship of man and woman must consist of equal parts of affection, sacrifice, and sympathy."
Despite these optimistic words, the honeymoon phase didn't even last through the literal honeymoon. The pair went to Italy after the wedding. As Jim Logan, superintendent of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery—where Locke is buried—tells Atlas Obscura, Locke shot at Harrold with a gun on the trip; it's not entirely clear why. Lucky for him, her aim wasn't as sharp as it had been the last time she pointed a pistol at a spouse. Their union somehow continued for several more years, likely aided by the fact that Harrold's work took him around the world and out of the immediate path of his wife's rage. When he wasn't around, Locke found other outlets for her temper, including punching a chauffeur over 25 cents and brawling with a maid over eight days' rent.
Eventually her second marriage did end, this time in divorce instead of death. The legal process was still underway when Locke met the man who was to become her third husband: A wealthy organ company president named Arthur Marks. The pair wed around 1918, not long after her divorce from Harrold went through.
A Hefty Bribe and a Stolen Baby
The marriage to Marks turned out to be one of the opera singer's longer romantic entanglements, and arguably the one that most closely resembled a soap opera. The couple stayed married for six years, and even adopted a son together, before the union proved too much for her husband. Suffering from severe exhaustion, Marks checked into a sanitarium around 1924, where he was promptly badgered by calls from his wife. The doctor spoke with her, and following their conversation, told Marks: "You'd better pack up. I can't do anything for you. What you need is a divorce."
The exact details that led to this breaking point are unclear, but after the couple officially split in 1924, things got much uglier. Locke continued to pester her ex-husband by calling him on the phone at all hours. He couldn't take it anymore, and offered her a deal: He would pay her $100,000 on top of the $300,000 alimony she had already received if she agreed not to contact him for at least a year.
The arrangement didn't last long. She broke the agreement and reached out after six months, but only because she had news she thought Marks would want to hear. She told him she had given birth since they saw each other last, and claimed that he was the father. Anticipating any doubts he might have, she showed up with a birth certificate, affidavits, and an actual baby to prove it.
Arthur Marks was prepared to support his alleged child, but knowing his former wife too well, he hired private detectives to investigate the matter further. His suspicions were confirmed: The child wasn't his. And it wasn't Locke's either; she had "borrowed" the baby from the Willow Maternity Hospital in Kansas City under a fake name and forged the birth certificate. When the police came to collect the infant, she admitted that she "made an error somehow" and avoided any criminal charges.
"Like a Vamp in the Movies"
Lydia Locke was around 38 years old during her interlude with the stolen infant, and the second half of her life was no less exciting than the first. After discovering that Marks had married one of her former friends, she sent him a "poison pen" letter filled with descriptions of his new wife's behavior too salacious for newspapers to publish. She was indicted by a federal grand jury for spreading obscene accusations through the mail and sued by Mark's wife for defamation. Locke showed little remorse. She painted herself as a victim and her ex-husband as the villain when speaking to newspapers. "This is a frame-up," she said. "I will be completely vindicated and that man—that man; I'll see that he is properly punished for this." Though she was never "completely vindicated" in the eyes of the public, neither case made it to trial.
Meanwhile, Locke had found a new husband in her personal assistant, Harry Dornblaser. Husband No. 4 was out of the picture almost immediately, skipping out on their honeymoon in Europe and turning up dead from apparent suicide in a cabin in Cleveland, Ohio, a few months later.
Her next husband was a former Balkan count she married in 1927 and divorced in the 1930s. Her last wedding, to businessman and real estate tycoon Irwin Rose, was listed on her marriage certificate as her seventh—indicating there had been a sixth marriage after the count, though the identity of this mystery groom remains unknown.
The seventh time proved to be the charm for Lydia Locke. The pair moved into a mansion on Locke's 1000-acre estate in Yorktown, New York, and ran an inn together on the property. Following 12 years of marriage—a personal record for her—she died in 1966 at age 82.
By the end of her life, Lydia Locke's media reputation had transformed from fabulous socialite to a woman who was "like a vamp in the movies" and "veteran of the divorce wars." Following her death, she did receive a little recognition for something other than her love life: In 1968, one of the concert gowns that made her a fashion icon was displayed at the Davenport House [PDF] museum in Yorktown. But even in today's age of nonstop celebrity gossip coverage, Locke is remembered, above all else, for her scandals.

The Story of Kate Warne, America's First Female Private Detective
The young woman smiled as she met her brother at a train station in Philadelphia on the evening of February 22, 1861. Her sibling was tall but stooped over and covered in a shawl, rendering his facial features difficult for passerby to discern. To anyone who asked, she explained that her brother had taken ill and needed some breathing room.
On the sleeper car of the passenger train, the woman slipped cash to the conductor, urging him to avoid placing anyone else at the rear of the car. Accompanied by three other men in addition to her sibling, she settled in for a long night's train ride.
It was no ordinary trip, however. The woman had lied when she said the man was her brother. In fact, he was president-elect Abraham Lincoln, traveling through a hotbed of secessionist activity on his way to his inauguration in Washington, D.C. Her name was Kate Warne—and she was the first female private detective in America.
Given her status as a pioneer in law enforcement, surprisingly little is known about Warne's past. No verified photos of her are known to exist, and she left behind no comprehensive chronicle of her landmark work. Then again, adopting various guises in the pursuit of intelligence meant that obscuring her true history was often a matter of professional obligation.
Warne was born in Erin, New York, in 1830 or 1833. Coming from a family of modest means, she had only a limited education. She was interested in becoming an actress, but her family opposed the idea and she soon abandoned that ambition. While she later described herself as a widow, there are no details about her marriage or the fate of a husband, who reportedly died in an accident. Warne's life seemed to begin in 1856, when the 23-year-old walked into the Pinkerton National Detective Agency offices in Chicago and declared that she would like to become a detective.
Pinkerton was named for and run by Allan Pinkerton, a Scottish immigrant who worked as a deputy sheriff and for the Chicago police department. In the 1850s, he opened a private agency that soon had offices in several major cities. The Pinkerton name became renowned for its diligent approach to complicated matters that perplexed local law enforcement.
Pinkerton had high standards, but he was also prey to the gender biases of the era. Female police officers or detectives were virtually unheard of at the time, and Pinkerton assumed the young woman in front of him—whom he later described as "slender, graceful in her movements, and perfectly self-possessed in her manner" with "eyes filled with fire"—was looking for secretarial work.
Warne corrected him. She pointed out that he had placed an ad looking for new hires and that she had come to Pinkerton for the express purpose of becoming a private detective. She explained that his force lacked a key component when it came to gathering intelligence—being able to assume the role of a woman's confidante. By ingratiating herself, she said, she would be likely to discover information about crimes plotted by husbands, who tended to make their wives privy to schemes that involved enriching the family's coffers. And she would also be able to take advantage of the fact that men tended to brag when women were around.
Pinkerton was not wholly convinced. It took several meetings with Warne before he decided to ignore convention and hire her. Later, Pinkerton would describe her as one of the five best agents he had ever employed.
A compelling dossier of cases followed. In 1858, Warne was tasked with obtaining a lead on a case involving the theft of $10,000 from the Adams Express Company railroad. The agency suspected a man named Nathan Maroney, the manager of the company's Montgomery, Alabama, offices, since he was believed to be the last employee to see the money before it disappeared. Warne was dispatched to Montgomery, and when she arrived, she quickly charmed Mrs. Maroney. She soon divulged that her husband had not only taken the cash, but that she knew where to find it—hidden in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Nathan Maroney was convicted, and all but a few hundred dollars recovered.
On another occasion, Warne thwarted a plot to poison a wealthy Captain Sumner by posing as a fortune teller. Pinkerton rented out a space for her to ply her trade—which she quickly learned from books on the subject—and hosted Sumner's sister, Annie Thayer. Thayer was impressed by Warne's knowledge of her life, which had been prepared by the Pinkterton agents. Trusting that Warne had a real gift for divination, she eventually disclosed that she was under the direction of a lover named Mr. Pattmore to assist in the murder of Pattmore's wife and her own brother, Captain Sumner, so they could enjoy his fortune. (Pattmore was convicted of his wife's murder and spent 10 years in prison; the pair were caught before they could murder Sumner.)
Warne's success in these efforts was due in large part to her demeanor, which Pinkerton would later describe as being warm and affable. People seemed eager to share secrets with her, even if those secrets were incriminating. But part of it was also Warne's unique place among law enforcement officials. Early on, no one could suspect her of being a detective because it was considered impossible that a woman would be occupying that role.
As successful as Warne was, it was her efforts on behalf of Abraham Lincoln that became the highlight of her career.
Shortly before Lincoln's inauguration in March 1861, railroad magnate and Lincoln ally Samuel Morse Felton realized that the secessionists stirring against the new president were growing more dangerous by the minute. There were even rumors they might interfere with railroads to and from Washington to disrupt Lincoln's entry into office. In the absence of a Secret Service, which had yet to be conceived, Felton wrote to Pinkerton for assistance.
Though Felton didn't yet know it, the secessionists planned on more than just blocking Lincoln's travels from Springfield, Illinois: Lincoln was also receiving death threats involving everything from a knife to a spider-filled dumpling.

Felton and Pinkerton met in Philadelphia. Pinkerton advised that any true threat against the president was likely to materialize in Baltimore, the only major slaveholding city on Lincoln's itinerary aside from Washington, as well as an inevitable stop—all potential routes to the inauguration involved a stop there. Worse, Lincoln planned to arrive at one train station and then depart from another one mile away. There would be ample opportunity for a person or persons to commit an assault.
Pinkerton dispatched several agents to investigate, including Warne, who posed as a southern ally complete with an accent and a cockade, or a knot of ribbons that signaled Southern sympathies. It was a routine she had already practiced during the train robbery investigation. Pinkerton himself also went to Baltimore to investigate, posing as a stockbroker.
Collectively, the Pinkerton agents assembled a portrait of conspirators who were planning to intercept Lincoln as he changed trains in the city. The plan had been concocted by one Cypriano Ferrandini, who transferred his love of Italian revolution to the Southern cause. The idea was that a mob would surround Lincoln while others created a distraction to draw police away from the scene. Beforehand, the secessionists would draw ballots to determine who would shoot Lincoln dead. (In fact, several men drew the fatal red ballot in a dark room, fulfilling Ferrandini's desire to have several would-be assassins hunting for Lincoln during the stopover.)
Lincoln, when he was debriefed on the plot, was reticent to change his touring plans. Eventually, though, he relented. Pinkerton formulated a scheme, one that involved bringing Lincoln to Baltimore in advance of his expected arrival and cutting off telegram lines so his would-be assassins couldn't be easily tipped off. Covering Lincoln in a shawl and declaring him frail, Warne, Pinkerton, and two others—Pinkerton lieutenant George Bangs and Lincoln's friend Ward Lamon—got him on board the train in Philadelphia without incident.
As they traveled through the night, Warne gripped a pistol she carried, wondering if Lincoln's rivals would force her to use it.
When they got to Baltimore, Warne, no longer needed to pose as a sibling, departed. Thanks to a noise ordinance, the sleeper car had to be unhitched from the train and carried by horse through the city until it reached the station with the Washington-bound train. Once there, the men spent a few nervous hours inside their sleeper car waiting for the connecting train. But Lincoln stayed unnoticed. The president-elect went on to his eventual destination of Washington, safe for the moment.
The next day, Lincoln asked the agents to visit him so he could thank them, including Warne, for protecting him. "I am sensible, ma'am, of having put you in some inconvenience—not to speak of placing you in danger," he told her.
Warne continued to work for Pinkerton through the Civil War, sometimes posing with Allan Pinkerton as a couple. Pinkerton himself was appointed head of the Union Intelligence Service, the forerunner of the Secret Service, and gathered information during the Civil War. Warne eventually became superintendent of the agency's bureau for women, training a growing number of female detectives.
Unfortunately, she wouldn't live to see the ranks continue to expand. Warne died in 1868 at the age of 35 (or perhaps 38) of pneumonia. It's a testament to her mysterious background that she wasn't delivered back to family, if indeed Pinkerton knew of any. Instead, she was buried in Pinkerton's family plot in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. Today, her headstone is worn to the point that it reads "Kate Warn." If time winds up taking more of her name from her final resting place, there's little doubt that history will remember it in full.

Servicing very busy so a lot of waiting about.
Had to fight tooth and nail on this occasion (and only by speaking to Head of Business) to get them to do the repair in the most obvious, logical and obvious way possible. Not enough characters to give full answer!
No call advising me of the lack of Pool Cars. Wasted 90 minutes driving to and from BMW. Received £30 discount on MOT which did not cover the time and fuel of the wasted trip. When the car was Serviced, had to wait 60 minutes to get the vehicle.
Really good service from staff.
The job was not completed as I anticipated. The eventual outcome was one where I was quite satisfied. Pity that there was a "fault" at the DVLA end???
total lack of interest in getting you to speak to the right person, just given the run around, nobody ever calls you back or deals with your issue and I have now spoke to a dozen friends who have had the same experience.
As above...The showroom and appearance of staff is impressive and getting my car washed is nice,but that doesn't compensate failure to identify problems with the car.
Coffee machine is still not working properly after a few weeks (you get grounds in coffee). Ok, so this sounds very picky. But think that if you cannot attend to this promptly then what assurance do we have you attend our cars differently..???
Drivers side wing mirror didn't heat up. Was told it needed a new mirror turns out there was just a wire loose.
I had to visit the showroom twice. Although the reception staff were friendly, the service staff left a lot to be desired. I had to wait until someone approached me. Dealing with me felt like a chore! The staff really felt inconvenienced.
Car picked up from home as promised. Phone call to confirm that I was happy to go ahead with what needed doing. Car returned very well cleaned.
Waited nearly 2 hours for a courtesy car, the gentleman who was on the service desk also told me he didn't know what he was doing. Also my windscreen washers were not sorted after asking several times for them to be looked at.
I waited four weeks for a courtesy car appointment, to be told the day before that there was no car due to a "double booking". Then told a further 5 weeks before a courtesy car available - not a delay but put to the back of the queue.
As above. We originally requested a courtesy car but was told we would not need one as the job would only take 90 minutes. We therefore agreed to wait. We finally got the car back after three and half hours. This made us late for a job.
My vehicle was slightly damaged while being serviced and it took numerous phone calls and several visits to the dealership in order to have the damage repaired.
Cooper Teesside are failing to deliver on the BMW brand experience. I have encountered numerous experiences which have been unsatisfactory. In my most recent experience a service took 5 hours when I was informed it would take around 2 hours.
The car was ment to have been cleaned. A poor job.
The service experience was frustrating as I had to constantly chase / call in to find out what was happening with my car. Promised a courtesy car twice and failed to be delivered, only after a complaint to service manager did I get it resolved.
I booked a fast track service but it took closer to 2 hours than the quoted 90 minutes. Granted it was busy but I felt like I was rushed when sat down with the service advisor when booking me in and seeing me out.
Slightly longer wait than expected, otherwise "5"
As per previous answer, not cleaned or valeted.
I was very satisfied and Becky in reception was very helpful and polite.
I have had BMW's on a managed service twice now and not once has a curtesy car been available when booking in for a service. This puts added burden on friends and family to get you to the service centre.
The part never arrived and was rescheduled for next day- Next day wrong part was delivered and was very inconvenient .
Reception and Service staff are a credit to this dealership.
Car booked in for service and diagnostic in January. Waited a month for service and still diagnostic has not been carried out. Car was damaged whilst in service and now garage will not return my phone calls. Formal complaint to be submitted.
I'm not sure what else they could get wrong? The process of booking the car in etc failed completely for the second time! I got the impression they just didn't seem to care. I hope I'm wrong.
awful customer service, didn't stick to promised timescale, nowhere to park, abrupt lady at the service desk (Stacey), I had to look for my car by myself on this massive car park just to discover the car was dirty! Had to wait for cleaning.
in 2018 my car went in fot warranty work however when I was given my car back the heating system was no longer working and I was told they could book me back in to have it repaired in 5 weeks during a very cold January! A safety issue in my opinion.
Having said that - when I explained to the service receptionist the problem that you had created for me she checked with her manager and, thankfully, I was supplied with a courtesy car.
Same reasons as above. Unable to hold a technical discussion with regard to the problem and no access to BMW technical department.
Same as above, no one has any time they just palm you off with a coffee.
Car needs to go back to complete recall work for the battery controller (530e). Was not done at the time as the batteries were not at min 25% charge level. Spoke with service agent 3 days before service and they did not advise car needed charge.
Ease of booking. Home collection and return. Clear communication from service advisor.
As per answer 1 Additionally this is not the first time ive had issues with Cooper Teesside service department.
Firstly I was called the day before my service to say no courtesy cars were available. Car not ready on day as no mot done so picked up next day. Serv record not updated on dash. Windscreen jets now not working when no issue before service.
Find it difficult to contact people on one occasion I rang 9 times over 45mins constantly going to recorded messages. (Yes during business hours) Difficulty communicating with main hub I go thru to when nobody answers phone. Mistakes are made.
It was only a small job but it took a long time.
Quality of service has deteriorated dramatically. Even the Dealership Manager couldnt be bother to return my call.
The vehicle had to be booked in to the Teesside garage through BMW assist on Friday the 1st February. This was due to the fact that the engine management system light was permanently on and was informing me to take the car to the dealer ASAP.
It measured up to expectations.
Slightly disappointed. I booked the service nearly 4 weeks in advance to book a service car replacement only to discover the day before that all cars had been booked out to other customers.
booked in for warranty work and cooper teesside had forgotten to order the part.
Service desk was very busy, work not carried out on time and therefore car delayed. Documentation not posted as promised.
Same as above. Rushed in and our service.
Very poor communication, very difficult to contact the dealership, no one passes on messages so we didn't receive any planned call backs, offer of a courtesy car was not acceptable due to how long we'd have to wait, repair turnaround not acceptable!!
Staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. My issue is with your online booking system. Fast lane online showed 9.15am spot available. Courtesy call day before said booking was for 12.45. Told to be in for 9.15 - but took 2.5 hrs not v fast!
The process was quick and easy and the staff were friendly and helpfull.
During my contact with Coopers on the telephone and whilst staff collecting car all staff I dealt with were very courteous and polite.
Car was ready when expected. However, the car had not been cleaned. First time this has happened.
Despite the issue customer care contact was trying best to sort and kept me informed.
See the above. The experience has totally changed my view about BMW despite only purchasing my car at the end of September for £38k. Very disappointing service from a garage that looked to be operating above capacity.
very satisfied with the brake pad service - However I had to wait over four hours for job to be completed. If I had known I would have taken a taxi home etc. I had to return two days later to have the computer updated re pads.
Sales person Georgina couldn't have done more for us, she kept in regular contact keeping us up to date with progress on the cars delivery, and assisted with the return of our leased BMW. We are very grateful for her help.
The experience you have when you walk into the showroom is always extremely positive. The team are very personable and friendly and people are always on hand to offer help, even if they are not your point of contact.
The Sales Rep. (Jak Bailes) handled the whole business in a very effective manner. He also kept me well informed throughout the process.
Experience was top class, only slight negative is that my car seemed to have picked up a small chip in transport.
Best I've ever dealt with.
During my recent search for a new car I visited over five different brands/dealerships. The staff at this BMW centre have been outstanding throughout the whole process. Especially, Hannah Poonwassie & Martin Grimes.
Excellent. Kept informed by Jonathan Sutcliffe. Enjoyed my big reveal when collecting. Car delivered & ready relatively quickly.
Very good attentive and professional sales staff. Nothing was too much trouble over the whole process. I did not feel pressurised or oversold..it was a good experience.
A few simple mistakes made which shouldn't of occurred.
Georgina Hudson was a pleasure to deal with. She was very attentive and accommodated all my requests, really went out of the way to make sure that everything went smoothly and I was happy.
There were issues with the delivery date due to BMW putting a 'stop' on cars including my car. Nick at the centre however did everything he could to make the process as easy as possible for me. BMW should communicate better with the centre.
5 star treatment from Nick Jimson from start to finish, he made buying a new car very special, nothing was a problem with his friendly, helpful, & cheerful personality.
Salesperson and other staff were most courteous from start to finish.
Suvodeep was very professional and attentive at each stage of the process and a great person to deal with.
All staff were polite and helpful. Comfortable reception. Hand over was very good.

Romney To Drop Out of Race
CNN and Time magazine report that Gov. Mitt Romney will drop out of the race for president as early as today. Here's the bulletin from CNN:
"Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will suspend his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, GOP sources tell CNN.
"A candidate may "suspend" his or her campaign rather than dropping out, and technically remain a candidate. In this case, he or she is entitled to keep any statewide pledged delegates as well as their district-level delegates.
"Candidates who officially drop out must forfeit statewide delegates."
Roman Catholic Archbishop Admonishes President Biden over Abortion Policies
Senator Tim Scott Targets CRT Head-On
Matt Svoboda
It might be too late, but I hope not. Go Huckabee!
Leo S.
What can he do with the delegates he has secured? Seems like a waste not to transfer to Huckabee, if he believes he is truly conservative.
Unless he wants to use the chips to bargain for something in the convention.
Leo,
I would have to say "Bingo!" The bad blood between him and Huckabee would preclude him endorising him, especially after the events in West Virginia this week.
David, you mentioned bad blood quite right… probably Romney's supporters might feel the same and wouldn't vote for Huckabee in the coming primaries. Strange political world.
But I think Huckabee will continue on.
P.S. I don't seem to get the email notification of reply… strange…
Huck-a-phony is NO CONSERVATIVE…. Fake Phony Fraud… at best… Big-time liar too.
Those accusations can be said about every candidate. State something with some substance and I will be happy to respond. I will say that I do not agree with everything that Huckabee says, but I do think he is the best candidate.
Live the Word
I have stated this before, Weak on the border, raised taxes more then cut.. talks fair tax knowing it will never happen. Never answers questions makes jokes, has lied and blasted talk radio when they looked and questioned his record. Pardoned hard core bad guys as Gov.. Does not sound very conservative to me. Also after he said some rotten things about Sean Hannity he went on and did his stand-up routine when pressed about his statements.. He did not know who said this and that, just like he did with Limbaugh… I don't want a guy who lacks a Set to stand by what he said on tape. Oh right he did not know who said it…. Again FAKE PHONY FRAUD… All fact
GrimeTime
This is the only issue for me: 50,000,000 babies murdered inside and outside the womb by their mothers and so-called doctors since Roe v Wade. All in the name of choice. What about their choice? If you could ask them and hear their response, they would choose to live.
Boarder control, the war, the economy; it's all important, but compared to infanticide I really couldn't care less. Why does any of it matter if we just kill our babies before any of that stuff effects them? You say that the war is unjust. Why do you care if Americans and Iraqis are dying if you don't care about over 3,000 babies are murdered every single day?
And if you did care about that, then you would support the most pro-life canidate out there, which is Huckabee, despite all other issues. And why do people blame republicans for not already overturning Roe v Wade, like it's our fault? It's decided at the Supreme Court and Bush has already nominated and seen through two faithful constructionists. I just pray that some more of the liberal justices retire or die soon so we can get another constructionist in there and get Roe v Wade overturned.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. Isaiah 5:20
But that's just the first step. If we really want to see abortions stopped and this nation changed, then people need to get saved. And that happens when You repent (turn from your sins) and trust in Christ alone to save you. If you do that you will become born again and God will change your heart from wickedness to righteousness. He did it to me 9 years ago.
Last thing. If Barack gets elected, wouldn't that make us an "Obama"nation?

Q: Is the word "indeed" being properly used in the following passage? Scene 1

Yuki laughed. "You know, sometimes I wonder if you live in the same
  city as the rest of us."

Scene 2

"That's right," Takeshi suddenly said. "Did you feel the earthquake
  last night?"
Eri stared at Takeshi with her lips slightly parted. You too? She
  could barely believe it. It was the second time someone had asked her the question. Am I the only one who didn't feel the earthquake? she wondered. Am I indeed
  living in the same city as everyone else?

As you can see Eri is repeating what Yuki told her on Scene 1. Is it correct to use indeed in this case?

A: This picture may not be worth a thousand words but may serve as a possible answer:

*

*Really may have occurred in other senses than indeed in some of the sentences -- so that really is likely to have been unduly uppped.

*The preference for really over indeed appears to have occurred around 1907-08.

*We still read the classics, though, don't we?

A: "Am I really living in the same city .." sounds more proper English-wise, but indeed has its own indeedic charm, indeed.

A: Really and indeed each would be as correct as the other in place of your indeed, but neither is quite right at that point.  Slightly abstractly, the sequence you have is:

Yuki to Eri:  "I wonder X"
  Takeshi to Eri:  "Did you Y?"
  Eri to self:  "I didn't Y.  Am I indeed X?"

Plainly, Eri would ask herself  "Am I indeed not X?" instead of "Am I indeed X?".  One can use phrasings like  "Am I indeed not", "Am I really not", "Am I not indeed" and "Am I not really", but none of them flow particularly well.  An ngrams for Am I indeed not,Am I really not,Am I not indeed,Am I not really shows no incidence of  "Am I indeed not".
I included phrases "Am I not indeed" and "Am I not really" in the ngrams, even though opposite or somewhat opposite in meaning to the intended meaning.  That is, one asks  "Am I not indeed X" when coming to realize X applies after thinking it doesn't, where you want Eri to begin to think X does not apply after thinking it does.  (For "Am I not really X", the case is less clear; it can be taken either way.)

There are several factors that should be considered when designing an office, whether at home or for a company. Especially important is the colors you choose for the decor. Different colors elicit a variety of moods and emotions. Your office should be designed to boost productivity and the overall moods of employees.
Some suggest sticking to warm hues, such as coffee brown, golden olive or light peach. These can promote productivity, especially for workers who have been feeling sluggish lately. These colors serve as an energy pick-me-up and lift the moods of your employees. On the other hand, you can use cooler hues to calm a stressful environment. Pale blue, lavender, pale yellow and cool greys are best to promote a stress-free and calm environment.
Blue has been deemed as the best color for offices. It promotes productivity and serenity, while also curbing appetites. The calm feeling comes from the color's association with water and peace.
What is the color theme in your office?

Q: AIC calculated in lm(y~1) and stepwise selection in R http://www.stat.wisc.edu/courses/st333-larget/aic.pdf
The AIC calculated with the model lm(SAT~1) was 560.4736, but the AIC calculated with stepwise selection starting with lm(SAT~1) was 419.42.  May I ask why there is a difference?  Thanks a lot.

A: See the note in the referenced paper:

This is what the functions AIC and BIC calculate in R. The AIC and BIC
  formulas in your textbook ignore the leading two terms n + n log 2π
  and use p instead of p + 1.

It looks like the "step" function in R uses the latter convention.  You'll find that the difference between the two AICs here is n + n log 2π + 2, which is a quantity that doesn't depend on the model itself, and so doesn't have any effect on model selection.

Q: How to know what record I am in? Dynamics AX7 Here is the scenario:
In the Sales and marketing > Sales orders > All sales orders
I entered the lines by double-clicking the Sales order number
by doing that I am entering the lines of the sales order.
Now in my lines, there is a button there where I will use to add a syntax where I will insert fields in my newly created table.
I would like to know how can I know what record I am in (before entering the lines/before double-clicking the sales order number). I need to know what Sales order number I'm in as I enter the lines of the record.

A: In every form the current record of a specific FormDataSource has the same name of the FormDataSource. For example in the SalesTableListPage form the only datasource is called "SalesTable", so the current sales order record is identified in your code with the salesTable identifier.

A: Every record is extended from [Common]. There you have field TableId. You can get table name with [tableId2name].
You can inspect fields with DictTable and field* methods.

UK police come up empty in hunt for Gatwick drone culprits
Posted: Sep 27, 2019 / 06:31 AM CDT / Updated: Sep 27, 2019 / 06:31 AM CDT
LONDON (AP) — British police say they have come up empty-handed in their search for the culprits behind December's drone disruptions at Gatwick Airport.
More than 140,000 travelers were stranded or delayed after dozens of drone sightings shut down Britain's second-busiest airport for parts of three consecutive days.
Sussex Police said Friday the perpetrators had "detailed knowledge" of the airport.
The force said detectives had identified 96 people of interest, took 222 witness statements and made 1,200 house-to-house inquiries. Two suspects were arrested but were released without being charged.
Assistant Chief Constable Dave Miller said "without new information coming to light, there are no further realistic lines of inquiry."
Police said the incident was not deemed terror-related "and there is no evidence to suggest it was either state-sponsored, campaign or interest-group led."

Decoding the Development of the Neocortex
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has uncovered new information about how the brain develops and potential abnormalities that can occur during that process. The team behind this discovery, which includes Developmental and Cell Biology Assistant Professor Pablo Lara-Gonzalez, focused on a protein called TMEM161B, the function of which was previously unknown.
The researchers discovered that patients with a condition called polymicrogyria (PMG) — a disorder that affects the way the brain is formed and causes abnormal folding of the brain's surface and intellectual disabilities — had mutations in the TMEM161B protein. The team then looked at mice without the gene and found that they failed to develop normally. They also found that when they introduced the patient mutations into brain cells, the cells showed defects in the way they were organized.
Further research revealed that TMEM161B plays a role in regulating the structure of actin filopodia — thin, finger-like projections of the cell membrane that are involved in cell movement, growth and communication. The researchers discovered that TMEM161B modulates the structure of actin filopodia, which then affects how cells move, grow and communicate.
The study is significant because it provides insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of the neocortex, specifically the process of gyrification, which is the folding of the surface of the brain. The researchers found that the protein TMEM161B plays a crucial role in this process by regulating the polarity and structural integrity of radial glial fibers in the developing brain.
Importantly, the study provides a new insight into the underlying causes of disorders related to the disruption of gyrification such as PMG and intellectual disability. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of this process has the potential to lead to better ways of identifying and treating these disorders in the future.

Diego Maradona dies: Three days of mourning begin in Argentina as tributes pour in
TODAY'S football superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo "could not even dream" of being admired as much as Diego Maradona was, says his former Argentina team-mate Ossie Ardiles.
Diego Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup
Three days of national mourning have begun in Argentina after Maradona died on Wednesday at the age of 60.
His body will lie in state at the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace in Buenos Aires, during that time.
"To be Diego Maradona was incredibly beautiful," Ardiles told the BBC.
"But on the other hand, it was not easy at all. Right from a really early age, he was subject to the press all the time. He didn't have a normal childhood, he never had normal teenage years.
"Everybody wanted to be with him, everybody wanted a piece of him, so it was incredibly difficult."
Maradona, who played for clubs including Barcelona and Napoli, was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, scoring the famous 'Hand of God' goal against England in the quarter-finals.
Former Tottenham midfielder Ardiles, who played alongside Maradona at the 1982 World Cup, said he was "a god" in Argentina, in Naples and all around the world.
"He will be remembered as a genius in football," he added. "You can see the extraordinary amount of interest that he generates.
"People like [Juventus and Portugal striker] Ronaldo, or people like [Barcelona and Argentina forward] Messi, they couldn't even dream of having this kind of admiration.
"That was the Maradona phenomenon – all the time."
A post-mortem examination was due to take place on Maradona's body later on Wednesday after he died at about midday local time at his home in Tigre, near Buenos Aires.
The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November and was to be treated for alcohol dependency.
A minute's silence took place before Wednesday's Champions League matches and the same will happen before all other European fixtures this week.
Messi and Ronaldo were among current players to pay tribute, while Brazilian football great Pele said he hoped one day they would "play ball together in the sky".
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Maradona "made world football better".
"There was a banner in Argentina, one year ago, that I read that said: 'No matter what you have done with your life, Diego, it matters what you do for our lives,'" former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola added.
"It expresses perfectly what this guy gave us. The man of joy and pleasure and his commitment for world football."
Former Tottenham manager and Argentina defender Mauricio Pochettino said: "Broken with pain. Diego, you were my hero and friend. I was so fortunate to have shared football and life with you."
The Vatican said Pope Francis, an Argentine and a football fan, would be remembering Maradona in his prayers.

Le Beverley: France's last pornographic movie theatre closes its doors
Date created : 27/02/2019 - 12:02 Latest update : 27/02/2019 - 12:45
Video by: FRANCE 24 Follow
Hidden in a narrow side street in the heart of Paris, Le Beverley has unapologetically offered non-stop showings of pornographic films for decades. However, France's last pornographic movie theatre shut its doors last weekend, marking the end of an era.
The theatre held its last screening on Saturday, which was traditionally "couple's night".
Afterwards, owner Maurice Laroche stayed behind to sell off old films, posters, seats and other memorabilia.
"It was an almost wholesome outpost showing vintage porn, by which I mean films shot on celluloid in the 1960s and 70s and into the 80s, which like the porn films of the 1910s and 20s were kind of sweet" FRANCE 24's film critic Lisa Nesselson said.
"The films were run through a real 35mm projector and are falling to pieces, so when they are gone that will be the end of the tale of a woman borrowing a cup of sugar from the neighbour and getting more than she bargained for," Nesselson said.

I have by now taken very many pictures of churches in the area, that however are grouped in separate galleries. I here group them as churches per se. The galleries are copies of the ones in the original spots, I hope navigation does not get too difficult.


Christians believe that God is a generous God, yet many in our world live in poverty. On harvest Sunday (13th October), we're launching a food bank ministry to shows God's generosity and grace to those who most need it in our town.
We will blog more info about shopping items in the coming days, stay tuned!


Market in brief: The colored stone market continued to strengthen during late summer, but sales activity is concentrated at the low and high ends, while the middle is flat. Buying patterns have remained largely unchanged. Dealers report strong demand for fine-quality, unenhanced ruby and sapphire. The emphasis on unenhanced gemstones has generated a healthy market for garnets. In particular, tsavorite and orange spessartite have benefited. Cuprian tourmaline, emerald, tanzanite, and spinel are among the other gemstones expected to benefit from trade media exposure this year. But experts predict pearls will be the standout. Initial buying trends suggest that a broad range of gem materials should sell fairly well this season. As a result we expect to see the jewelry sector garner a larger percentage of luxury spending.

'Santa Clarita Diet' deserves to reach broader audience
Since the 1950s, zombies have been everywhere in popular culture: movies, television shows, music, etc.
Zombies even played a role in Michael Jackson's iconic music video "Thriller."
On Feb. 3, 2017, Netflix released the American horror-comedy web television series, "Santa Clarita Diet."
The series follows Joel and Sheila Hammond (Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore), everyday suburban real estate agents in Santa Clarita, Calif.
One day, Sheila starts to show strange transformations and eventually becomes a human flesh-eating zombie.
While trying to figure out what is happening, Shelia, Joel, their daughter, Abby Hammond (Liv Hewson) and Eric Bemis (Skyler Gisondo) try to help her adjust to her new after life.
Both Olyphant and Barrymore serve as executive producers for the series.
The series began as a single-camera production.
The first season, consisting of 10 episodes, received praise from critics, but also received criticism for the number of graphic scenes.
However, this should not have been much of a shock to audiences since the show does revolve around a zombie.
Season two dropped March 23, 2018, while season three recently dropped March 29.
Barrymore has been on camera since the 1980s.
In 1982, she started in the famous film, "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial."
Throughout her career, Barrymore has taken many different roles.
From portraying nerdy Josie Geller in "Never Been Kissed" to crime fighting Dylan Sanders in "Charlie's Angels" and voicing Chloe the chihuahua in "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," Barrymore has done it all.
As for Olyphant, he is quite close to Barrymore when it comes to experience.
He began acting in "The First Wives Club" as a director interested in one of the main characters.
At first glance, "Santa Clarita Diet" looks like another try-hard comedy show that took two big screen stars and threw them onto a set.
However, the show is actually funny and leaves viewers laughing at the slightest of jokes.
Barrymore is often portrayed as sweet and conservative, but in "Santa Clarita Diet" she is wild and swears more in this show than she has in everything she has starred in combined.
Her character has no filter and it is entertaining to see Barrymore take on a role as crazy as this.
As for Olyphant, his awkward father character is quite charming starring next to Barrymore's crazy character.
Without the pairing duo, "Santa Clarita Diet" would not be the same.
