Viola S. Henry (1922-1999)
Henry was born Viola Susannah Noel-Hutchinson to Leanora Noel and Peter Hutchinson on Union Island, St. Vincent, West Indies, on June 18, 1922. Her mother died when she was only 10 years old, but her last wish and desire for her daughter was for her to become a teacher. At age 12, Viola went to live with a family who introduced her to the Seventh-day Adventist message. She embraced the faith and was baptized.
Viola was a very ambitious young woman and so she left Union Island at the age of 16 to visit an older brother who lived in Aruba. There, she met Thomas Adolphus Henry-Phipps, who had just returned home after working on an assignment in Mexico for a few months for the Shell Oil Company. On his way home he said he prayerfully wondered when he would find a wife and have a family of his own. As if in answer to his prayers, when he arrived home he saw a beautiful young woman in his house. Viola married Thomas at age 16 on May 2, 1939.
The young couple lived in Aruba and started a family there. Viola was very active in the church and was known for reciting long poems. Viola and Thomas, ambitious and adventurous, left Aruba in 1954 for St. Kitts with their seven children. After living there for only a short time, and after discussing a plan with Viola, Thomas decided to leave St. Kitts for England because he heard that there was work there, and he desired a better life for his children. So, he left for England in September of 1955, and Viola and their eight children—they had one more in St. Kitts—followed in early 1956.
Soon after arriving in England and settling in the city of Birmingham —the second largest city in England—Viola joined the Handsworth Seventh-day Adventist church, located on Nineveh Road at the time. While Handsworth church was and still is the second largest Adventist church in Birmingham—Camphill SDA church being the largest, formed almost 60 years ago—it is the oldest Adventist church in that city and was founded almost ninety years ago.
Viola threw herself into church work. Her desire was to work fulltime for God. She held numerous church offices which included: Community Services Director, Stewardship Ministry Leader, Sabbath School Superintendent, Choir Director, Adult Sabbath School Teacher, Personal Ministries Leader, and Deaconess. She became a prodigious soul-winner, bringing hundreds of people to God and helping to plant many churches, which included Northfields, Newtown and Smethwick churches. She also advised, encouraged and comforted ministers and their wives.
In the surrounding communities Viola was known for her love, patience and kindness, community work, godly advice and Bible studies. She was also known for encouraging people to use herbs and natural remedies for healing common ailments, and gave community demonstrations on how to use these natural methods. Additionally, she raised the most funds for Ingathering Campaigns, an official yearly church fundraiser for ADRA—Adventist Development and Relief Agency, an international humanitarian agency in operation since November 1956.
In the late 1950s the Handsworth church on Nineveh Road became dilapidated and was no longer fit to worship in. Viola, a woman of action, went looking for a new location for the church. She found a building on Hutton Road, and sought ways for the conference to purchase it. She raised funds through her grand concerts and her husband Thomas—though not a Christian at the time—can remember going with her to pay for the building. The Handsworth church building on Hutton Road was bought on December 19, 1966, for £9,500. The building was renovated and the Handsworth church members soon occupied it and had a wonderful dedication service to celebrate this occasion.
Handsworth and Camphill were the leading churches in the Conference in soul-winning during the late seventies and early eighties. Viola made an outstanding contribution through her Bible studies and soul-winning efforts. In the 1960s and 1970s she pioneered hosting grand musical concerts and raised hundreds of pounds for church building projects. Soon, whenever a group of Adventists wanted to plant a church they would call on Viola to plan one of her grand concerts to raise funds for their church ventures. She became known for raising considerable amounts of money for buildings to be renovated and converted into places of worship.
Many churches became filled with new converts from Viola's parttime soul winning efforts; yet she still said, "I want to work for the Lord, fulltime," since at that time she worked full time at the John Lucas factory in Newtown, Birmingham. One minister recalls Viola's enthusiasm for soul-winning: "I began to work in Handsworth [SDA church] about 1972. Before I began [as senior pastor] Viola was always busy giving Bible studies in the afternoons. [After] I arrived she continued her missionary work. Consequently, every baptism I had she had someone who was ready for baptism. Soon we were having baptisms every three months and the number of candidates grew. By this time I needed help more than what the elders could give and she was the most qualified lay person. It was an accepted fact that whether she was employed or not, she was going to work for her Master. After each baptism she would visit those who had made decisions. We had a Pastor's Bible Class in the Minister's Vestry which grew so large that it had to be transferred to the Choir Vestry."
By the encouragement of the first Black office secretary to the Stewardship Departmental Director of the North British Conference—a young lady who Viola adopted—Viola applied for a Bible Instructor's Correspondent Course and completed it. She was then interviewed by Bryan Ball, the President of the North British Conference at the time. Her application was accepted and on October 1, 1973, she became the very first Black Bible Instructor to ever work for any conference in England. During her ministry she also accepted preaching appointments from churches across the North British Conference.
Some of Viola's favorite hobbies included: singing—from dawn to dusk—music, reading, writing, studying, poetry, fashion designing, tailoring and sewing—she often sewed clothes for her ten children—cooking and baking—she became internationally famous for her vegetarian cooking, and ministers from different parts of the world would encourage other visiting ministers to make sure they got invited home for Sabbath dinner by Sister Henry—speaking, preaching, teaching and Bible research, crocheting and knitting. She also loved God's nature, enjoyed going on outings and meeting new people.
She memorized and recited long poems in the grand concerts she would organize, and was invited to churches to speak and recite these long poems, because she had a knack for reciting them with humor and sprite. She also adopted young people who had no parents or whose parents were not Christians, and her home was a refuge for the youth and the friendless.
Viola was a miracle woman to many people. Even though she had never studied psychology, she was advisor and counselor to many. Even though she never saw the inside of a seminary, she was known as a great preacher. Even though she never received any conventional training as an evangelist, she won hundreds of souls to the Lord as long she was able to work for Jesus. Even though she never went to school to learn music, she received and taught piano lessons and today there are people who are accomplished pianists who were once her students. She also directed choirs even though she was never taught how to direct. She sang, acted and was a playwright, even though she had a minimal formal education, but she also took college courses and owned the Bible Commentaries, Bibles for Bible research and owned and read the complete library of Ellen G. White.
With their children all educated and grown up, in 1987 Viola and Thomas decided to immigrate to West Palm Beach, Florida, America, because of Viola's health. In 1994 when she went to Loma Linda University Medical Center because of her advanced heart disease, the attending Cardiologist had to call the students to come and gaze upon a miracle woman. He stated that Viola's heart had made its own bypass several different times, and that by rights she should have been dead a long time ago.
After diagnosing her with multiple heart disease and Alzheimer's they told her that there was nothing more that they could do for her. Even after that, Viola lived until Friday, April 16, 1999, when she quietly passed away in Jesus at the age of 76, in Colombia Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida, surrounded by her husband of 60 years—who by that time had accepted Jesus because of Viola's spiritual influence and exemplary Christian lifestyle—and most of her ten children, who sang her favorite hymns in her last Sabbath evening worship on Earth, as she fell asleep in Jesus. She truly was a miracle woman, saved to serve by the Miracle Worker Himself, King Jesus.

KAWAI K600 AURES2
Kawai K600 Aures allowing pianists to continue enjoying the distinctive feeling of a traditional piano, while listening discreetly using private headphones. AURES instruments are equipped with a newly developed resonance system that allows the soundboard of a Kawai K series upright piano to also deliver digital audio, such as commercially available music, or the sound of other musical instruments, without the aid of additional speakers.
Acoustic Tranquillity
The sound of hammers striking strings, resonating through solid spruce. Warm vibrations that illuminate a room, leaving its audience enchanted. The natural voice of an acoustic piano is truly unmistakable.
A fine piano entices musicians to perform with spontaneity and passion, yet such unbridled expressiveness may not always be appropriate. Indeed, in certain environments, an acoustic piano can prove disruptive; the diligent tones of children practising scales are unlikely to be welcomed by other family members wishing to watch television, while even the most gentle, soothing Chopin preludes have the potential to irritate neighbours if performed after an acceptable time.
Fortunately, AnyTimeX3 instruments incorporate an acoustic muting feature with powerful digital audio components, allowing pianists to continue enjoying the distinctive feeling of a traditional piano, while listening discreetly using private headphones. The AnyTimeX3 models come with newly developed Kawai SH-9 headphones. These are specially matched to the internal sound source of the instruments.
Impressive Soundboard System with 4 Transducers
AURES instruments are equipped with a newly developed resonance system that allows the soundboard of a Kawai K series upright piano to also deliver digital audio, such as commercially available music, or the sound of other musical instruments, without the aid of additional speakers.
The AURES' unique soundboard technology has been developed in collaboration with Japan's leading premium audio manufacturer, Onkyo, and incorporates newly-designed high performance transducer components that transmit energy more efficiently than conventional parts. The resulting sound produced entirely by the soundboard is rich, powerful, and expansive, and enhanced by the unique harmonic properties of solid spruce wood.
Millennium III action
In 1971 KAWAI revolutionised piano technology by introducing ABS action parts within the fine workings of the piano action. This rigid, atmospherically stable compound material, addressed many of the problems associated with wooden components, such as breakages under continual high stress, and shrinking and swelling due to changes in climate. The introduction of ABS action parts proved a significant development in modern piano design, and rapidly earned high praise from pianists and technicians worldwide. The Millennium III Upright Action, unveiled in 2006, has been developed to enhance the three performance elements that professional pianists most desire – speed, control and power. The introduction of stronger ABS Carbon materials has allowed KAWAI scientists to develop lighter action parts without sacrificing durability, further optimising key repetition and response speed for a truly unparalleled playing experience.
The magnificent tone of Kawai's flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano is at the heart of the AnyTimeX3 instruments. Widely regarded as the 'premier pianos of Japan', Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range.
IHSS Sensor System
A fine acoustic piano entices musicians to perform with enthusiasm, spontaneity and passion. Yet, the satisfaction that one enjoys when hammers strike the strings is often diluted by traditional piano silencing techniques. Sensors located below the keyboard struggle to accurately interpret the subtleties of musical expression, which is why AnyTimeX3 pianos integrate sensors within the fine workings of the piano action, reading the precise movements of each hammer. Whether performing rapid passages that demand the same key be played repeatedly before returning to its natural starting position, or pianissimo pieces desiring the very softest of key strokes, the Integrated Hammer Sensing System (IHSS) represents the elaborate nuances of every note. Pianists can finally enjoy the convenience of absolute privacy, without sacrificing the responsive touch and authentic expression of a traditional acoustic piano.
Digital Convenience
The AnyTimeX3 models incorporate a full-colour 5″ touchscreen within the left cheek-block, allowing sounds and settings to be selected from an attractive user interface simply by tapping or swiping the display with a finger. The AnytimeX3 models showcase a variety of other sounds that are suitable for a wide range of musical styles. Two headphone jacks are located beneath the keyboard on the left-hand side to connect stereo headphones to the AnyTimeX3 models for your convenience. Further connecting possibilities including USB to Device, USB to Host and connections for audio products are also available. Even wireless Bluetooth connections (MIDI LE and audio) with supported smart devices are possible.
In addition to the latest SK-EX Rendering piano sound engine, the AnyTimeX3 models also incorporate Kawai's highly regarded Harmonic Imaging XL technology, showcasing a variety of alternative acoustic pianos sounds and a strong selection of additional instrument voices. The Kawai EX full concert grand piano has frequently been selected by professional pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions, while the Shigeru Kawai SK-5 chamber grand and Kawai K-60 upright, allow performers to enjoy the contrasting tonal characteristics of various different piano sizes and voicing configurations.
Supplementing these realistic acoustic piano voices, the AnyTimeX3 models also feature an excellent selection of additional instrument sounds, ranging from electric pianos and drawbar and church organs, to strings, human choirs, and even atmospheric synth-style pads, inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances. Furthermore, the Dual playing mode also allows two different sounds, such as grand piano and strings, to be layered together, while the Split and 4Hands playing modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections.
The AnyTimeX3 models' Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the selected acoustic piano, electric piano, or harpsichord sound to be shaped from the instruments' touchscreen display, with settings to adjust voicing and regulation, string, damper, and cabinet resonances, and subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises. It is even possible to adjust the precise tuning and volume of individual notes, before storing one's favorite instrument configuration to memory.
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the AnyTimeX3 models also boast integrated Bluetooth MIDI and Audio technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, AnyTimeX3 model owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music related apps that enhance their learning and playing experience, or stream audio from songs and videos through the headphones or the soundboard system without any additional cables.
The AnyTimeX3 models are equipped with USB connectors that not only allow this instrument to be connected to a computer for MIDI use, but also to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This 'USB to Device' feature allows recorded songs stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI files (SMF) downloaded from the internet to be conveniently played back without additional hardware.
USB memory devices can also be used to playback MP3 or WAV audio files, allowing musicians to learn the chords or melody for a new piece, or to simply play along with their favorite songs. It is even possible to save performances as MP3 or WAV files for emailing to friends and family, listening to on the move, or for further editing using an audio workstation.
Integrated Lesson function
The convenient lesson function allows aspiring pianists to learn piano with classical Czerny, Burgmüller, Chopin, Beyer and Bach etudes. The ATX3 models also feature traditional finger exercises, scales, and warm-up drills, and include a companion book of printed scores to further aid one's practise.
The AnytimeX3 models are equipped with a power saving feature which turns off the instrument automatically after a specified period of inactivity.

Two Attire Graduates Have Paper, Layout Identified by ITAA
iwano@_84
Bailey Hoyt's grandfather served in the military services in the course of the Vietnam War. Her design is meant to illustrate the spreading of Agent Orange: "I wanted it to look like Agent Orange is going into the body's veins and is affecting the individual a lot more and more, but I wanted the orange to not be eye-catching, showing how the disorder can keep dormant in the overall body for quite a few decades."
Two new graduates of U of A's clothing merchandising and item progress plan have been identified by the Worldwide Textile and Clothing Affiliation in different locations.
Murphy Aycock has earned a 2021 Paper of Difference Award in the Merchandising/Retailing II group from the ITAA, and Bailey Hoyt has been chosen to show a garment she developed in the ITAA Undergraduate Design Exhibition.
Aycock, who was mentored by affiliate professor and graduate coordinator Eunjoo Cho, earned her bachelor's degree in 2019 and her master's diploma in human environmental sciences with a focus in AMPD in 2021. Hoyt gained her bachelor's diploma in 2021.
Aycock's paper, "Understanding On line 2nd-hand Luxury Fashion Procuring Motivations and Perceived Value among Youthful Adult Customers," was developed from her master's thesis, which was funded by the A.L. Chilton Foundation. She analyzed youthful adult buyer motivations and perceived benefit toward on the web second-hand luxurious vogue stores, and how it led to behavior designs.
In accordance to her study, the next-hand luxurious trend marketplace is escalating 4 situations faster than the key luxury marketplace.
Aycock examined the impacts of five motivations — financial, critical, hedonic, vogue and standing-trying to get — on perceived value towards on the internet 2nd-hand luxurious style stores. Results suggest financial, significant, fashion and status-trying to get motivations positively influence perceived value, and reveal that vogue and significant motivations were being additional significant variables than the other two for on line 2nd-hand luxury fashion buys amid young older people. The perceived worth substantially motivated purchase intention towards all those stores.
Hoyt's style, Agent Orange, is a single of just 88 entries nationally selected for show at the 2021 ITAA Convention. She was mentored by instructor Stephanie Hubert.
Entries were reviewed by a double-blind jury and evaluated on contextual evaluate and thought aesthetic attributes and visible effect approach, method and execution cohesion and design and style contribution and innovation.
Hoyt's concept statement pertaining to her design incorporates: "According to Background.com, (2011), 'in addition to the enormous environmental devastation of the U.S. defoliation method in Vietnam, that nation has reported that some 400,000 people had been killed or maimed as a end result of exposure to herbicides like Agent Orange.' The residue stays these days and is continue to jeopardizing the health and fitness of individuals who dwell in the place. My intent behind this garment was to bring awareness to the hazardous effects of Agent Orange. The chemical was released into Vietnam by U.S. troops from 1961-1971. The reason of this chemical was to demolish Vietnam's land and vegetation, but it ended up destroying so a great deal much more. For me, this chemical took my grandpa absent from me, supplying him most cancers that finished his everyday living past yr. It is nuts for me to assume about how he hardly survived though he was compelled to struggle there, only to then die from the influence of that identical war decades later on. This chemical has affected lots of People in the same way and has an even bigger effects on the Vietnamese men and women. 'Vietnam promises fifty percent a million small children have been born with really serious birth defects, although as numerous 2 million men and women are suffering from most cancers or other ailments triggered by Agent Orange (Background.com, 2011).' The war may be above, but the casualties triggered by it keep on on."

We specialize in Transverse Interferometry, the most sensitive fiber measurement technology available.
Our exclusive patent-pending Multi-Wavelength Optical Fiber Refractive Index Profiling Technology was first presented as Postdeadline Paper PDP A2 at OFC/NFOEC 2009 and has since been the subject of peer reviewed conference and journal publications. Since the measurement is performed transversely (through the side of the fiber), it is essentially non-destructive. Although the fiber's polymer coating or buffer must be removed, the fiber itself can continue to carry an optical signal during the measurement, and if necessary the polymer coating can be restored to the fiber after the measurement is completed.

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only
A defensive midfielder in his playing days, Reid enjoyed a long and successful career. He built his reputation as one of England's brightest midfield talents of the time at Bolton Wanderers,[1] before signing for Everton in 1982. It was there that he enjoyed the most fruitful spell of his career, as he helped the club win domestic and European honours, including the Football League twice. He was voted as the PFA Players' Player of the Year in 1985 and came fourth in the World Soccer Player of the Year award, behind Michel Platini, Preben Elkjær and Diego Maradona. He also received his first senior England call-up that year, and represented his country at the 1986 FIFA World Cup and 1988 UEFA European Championship. He won 13 caps in total. Reid joined Queens Park Rangers in 1989, but moved on to Manchester City a year later to begin his managerial career.
He spent three years at Maine Road as player-manager, and guided them to two fifth-place finishes in the First Division, the first of which saw them finish above their city rivals Manchester United. He was persuaded to resume his playing career after leaving Manchester City, and briefly played for Southampton, Notts County and Bury before returning to management with Sunderland in 1995. He won promotion to the Premier League with the club on two occasions and achieved two seventh-place finishes in the top division. He combined his role at the Stadium of Light with the job as manager of the England U21 for a brief spell in 1999. His seven-year association with Sunderland ended in 2002 and he returned to management a year later, helping Leeds United avoid relegation from the Premier League. Reid left Elland Road the following season.
He was appointed manager of Coventry City in 2004 but his tenure lasted less than a year. He then worked as a pundit for the BBC at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and also worked for Sky Sports and ESPN before returning to management with Thailand in 2008. He won the T&T Cup with the country before returning to England as assistant manager to Tony Pulis at Stoke City, and helped them to an eleventh-place finish in the Premier League. He then managed Plymouth Argyle, taking over in June 2010, but was sacked after just over a year at the Devon club.
Playing careerEdit
Reid signed professional forms with Bolton Wanderers in 1974. He first won a medal when Bolton won the championship of the Football League Second Division in 1978, but he only enjoyed two seasons of First Division football before Bolton were relegated.
He was transferred to Everton for a cut-price fee of £60,000 in 1982 only 12 months after a much larger fee had been mooted – a succession of injuries had cut the price.
At club level his greatest achievement was as part of the Everton team that in 1984 won the FA Cup, in 1985 and 1987 the Football League championship and in 1985 the European Cup Winners' Cup. They nearly won a unique treble but lost 1–0 to Manchester United in the 1985 FA Cup final. In that game, Reid was recklessly challenged by Manchester United defender Kevin Moran who became the first player to be sent off in an FA Cup final.
He was voted PFA Footballer of the Year in 1985, the same year that he collected a Football League title and European Cup Winner's Cup winner's medal. Reid's form was so good that year, he came 4th in the World Soccer player of the year award behind only Michel Platini, Preben Elkjaer and Diego Maradona.
He made 167 appearances (eight as substitute) for Everton. In 2006, Reid was awarded with the 'Everton Giant' accolade.
Reid won 13 caps for England. Given his chance by the injuries to other players, he became the linchpin of the England team in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. In the England v Argentina quarter-final at that tournament Reid was one of the England players left behind by Diego Maradona as he burst from inside his own half to score his second goal.
Reid signed for Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer in 1989 but only stayed for one season (1989–90) before signing for Manchester City, who were managed by former Everton manager Howard Kendall.
Managerial careerEdit
Manchester CityEdit
Reid's managerial career began on 7 November 1990 at Manchester City, when was appointed caretaker manager after the departure of Howard Kendall back to Everton.[citation needed] Reid was appointed player-manager on a permanent contract on 15 November.[2]
In 1990–91, Manchester City finished fifth (one place above neighbours Manchester United) and equalled this achievement the following season. In the first season of the Premier League (1992–93), City slipped into ninth place with an increasingly stale brand of 'long ball' football and Reid was sacked after a poor start to the following season.
Reid bought Keith Curle and Terry Phelan for £2.5 million each. Colin Hendry was sold to be eventually replaced by Michel Vonk. Clive Allen was also sold in December 1991.
SouthamptonEdit
Following his dismissal by Manchester City, in October 1993 Reid was persuaded by Ian Branfoot to resume his playing career with Southampton who were then in the middle of a crisis: the Saints fans were calling for Branfoot to be sacked with the club having lost eight of their first nine games. Reid brought a touch of guile and stability to the Saints side; despite playing only eight games he made a major contribution to the team's fortunes as Saints' season started to come together. He led them to some important victories, most specially over Newcastle United on 24 October 1993, a game in which Matthew Le Tissier scored two goals. His final game for Saints was a 3–1 victory over Chelsea on 28 December 1993.[3]
Branfoot was sacked a few days later (after a home defeat by Norwich City). Reid was touted as a possible replacement for Branfoot, but he stated that, as Branfoot had brought him to the club, it would only be fair that he left as well. Reid then had brief playing spells with Notts County and Bury before he retired from playing.
SunderlandEdit
Reid made his return to management in March 1995 with Sunderland, who were battling relegation in the First Division. He kept the club up, and the following season they were crowned champions of the division and were promoted to the Premier League. In 1996, a group of Sunderland fans operating under the name Simply Red and White had a top 50 hit with the song Cheer Up Peter Reid – an altered version of the song Daydream Believer. The team was relegated back to the First Division at the end of the 1996–97 season, after losing their last match of the campaign at Wimbledon.
Sunderland missed automatic promotion by one place in 1997–98 but reached the Division One play-off final, facing Charlton Athletic at Wembley Stadium. Reid's side missed out on promotion after drawing 3-3 after 90 minutes, 4-4 after extra time and losing 7–6 in a penalty shoot-out in one of the most dramatic play-off finals to date.[4] The following season Sunderland bounced back by winning the Division One title with a then record 105 League points total. They topped the First Division table from October until the end of the season and clinched promotion on 13 April 1999 with a 5–2 win over Bury.[5]
Throughout 1999–2000, Sunderland were competing for a place in European competition but in the end missed out after finishing in seventh place, one of the highest finishes ever achieved by a Premier League team in the season after promotion. Striker Kevin Phillips was the highest league scorer in England and Europe with 30 goals in the Premier League, and therefore won the European Golden Shoe that season; he is the last Englishman to win the accolade to date. Reid also had a brief spell as manager of the England under-21 team in this season. For a while in 2000–01, Sunderland were second in the league and it looked as though they would secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League, but their form dipped in the final stages of the season and again they finished seventh.
Reid's team suffered a downturn in the 2001–02 season ending up one place above the relegation zone and with just 28 goals from 38 games – fewer than any other team in the division. In a bid to halt the decline, Reid paid a club record £6.75million for Norwegian striker Tore André Flo from Rangers but was unsuccessful. Reid was let go in October 2002 after nearly eight years as Sunderland manager.
Leeds UnitedEdit
Following his sacking from Sunderland, Reid was linked with the Republic of Ireland managerial position. He had even planned to apply for an Irish passport through his Drumcondra family connections.[6] In March 2003 he was appointed interim manager of Leeds United after the dismissal of Terry Venables. The Elland Road club had been hit by £80 million debts after their £100 million outlay on new players in the space of five seasons had failed to land them a trophy. Reid looked to be the man to reverse the decline, especially after a 6–1 away win over Charlton Athletic and a 3–2 away win over Arsenal which ended the opposition's title hopes. After keeping Leeds up, he was awarded the job on a permanent basis.
Leeds were still in a poor financial state and Reid was forced to sell Harry Kewell and bring in cheaper signings from abroad as replacements. His new signings failed to gel and he was sacked in November 2003 after a 6–1 defeat against newly promoted Portsmouth. Although many of his signings left Leeds after the club was relegated, Kevin Blackwell, who Reid had brought to Leeds as assistant manager, later went on to become manager in 2004.
Coventry CityEdit
Reid was appointed manager of First Division side Coventry City in May 2004 with the aim of getting the club promoted to the Premier League. His spell at Highfield Road lasted only eight months as he departed on 6 January 2005 with the club 20th in the Championship.
In late 2006, it was rumoured that Reid would be returning to Sunderland as Director of Football under new chairman Niall Quinn, who had played under Reid at Manchester City and Sunderland, but this appointment never happened.[citation needed]
Thailand national teamEdit
After an absence from management of nearly four years Reid became manager of Thailand in September 2008, having been linked with the position earlier in the year.[7][8] He signed a four-year contract with an aim of qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[9] He admitted to not knowing much about Thai football, and referring to his players by squad numbers rather than their Thai names. Reid said "I was surprised by the players' ability and I'm learning things about football I'd never have learnt in the Premier League. It's great for my football education. This is pure football and I love it."[10]
Reid's first assignment as the new national coach of Thailand was to take part in the T&T Cup in Vietnam, a three-team round-robin tournament with hosts Vietnam and North Korea. Thailand beat North Korea in the first game of the tournament and then went on to draw with Vietnam to clinch the championship.[11] On 9 September 2009, the Thailand Football Association (FAT) announced that Reid had left his position as manager; his contract was terminated by mutual consent after a year in charge.[12]
Stoke CityEdit
After Reid left the Thailand job on 10 September 2009, Stoke City confirmed his appointment as assistant manager.[13]
Plymouth ArgyleEdit
On 24 June 2010, Plymouth Argyle confirmed the appointment of Reid as manager.[14] Reid endured an unexpectedly turbulent time with the Pilgrims who had just been relegated from the Coca-Cola Championship. The club was hit with two winding-up petitions from HMRC in November, and was forced to sell star players Bradley Wright-Phillips and Craig Noone in the January transfer window. Reid himself even auctioned off his FA Cup runners up medal and paid the club's heating bill at one point.[15] Despite these efforts the club was docked 10 points for intention to enter administration in February 2011 and left Argyle bottom of League 1 with relegation seeming inevitable.[16] The club's relegation to League 2 was confirmed on 2 May 2011 following a 3-1 defeat to Southampton, with the club finishing 23rd in League One.[17]
Reid was forced to sign an almost entirely new team over the summer of 2011, with 10 players making their debut on the opening day in a 1-1 draw with Shrewsbury Town.[18] However the club were unable to build on the Shrewsbury result and lost their following 8 league games, all whilst the club was still stuck in financial turmoil. On 18 September, Peter Reid was sacked by acting chairman Peter Ridsdale with the club bottom of the Football League with just one point. Despite having a win rate of just 26% during his time at the club, Reid remains popular amongst Plymouth Argyle supporters because of his generosity and commitment during troubled times.[19]
Mumbai City FCEdit
On 4 September 2014, Reid was appointed manager of Mumbai City FC ahead of the inaugural Indian Super League season.[20]
Return to BoltonEdit
On 18 March 2016, it was announced that Reid had returned to his first club Bolton Wanderers in a coaching capacity to assist interim manager Jimmy Phillips.[21] He left at the end of the season.[22]

ARMY OF CRIME tells an extraordinary true story of the French Resistance during WWII. In German-occupied Paris, poet and factory worker Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian) led a courageous group of immigrant fighters to sabotage the Nazi regime. Made up of young Jews, Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Italians, Spaniards and Armenians, this heroically ragtag group committed nearly all acts of armed resistance in the capital between March and November 1943, before a series of arrests broke their ranks. Director Robert Guédiguian dramatizes their tale, bringing to life their acts of everyday sabotage from bombing Nazi hangouts to assassinating brutal generals, all the while being hounded by the Vichy French police, who use double-agents and macabre tortures to bring them in. In the middle of it all, Manouchian's love for his strong-willed wife Mélinée (the luminous Virginie Ledoyen) reminds them of the liberty they're fighting for. The noble and tragic story of these immigrants, who died for the republican ideals of France, is poetically brought to life in this epic film.

turn a necessity into style!
Ever since I started to use reading glasses I have a pair in each room, in my car, in my purse... yet, still when I need them (often), somehow, they seems to vanish and disappear.
- satin twisted rope 10 mm black - 11"
- satin twisted rope 10mm ivory - 11"
cut about 2 x 11" of nylon line.
and pass it again into the crimp tube.
Do that on both parts, and use your crimp pliers to close the crimp tube around the nylon line.
22 pearls and 21 spacers on each nylon line.
Cut two piece of wire of about 2-1/2".
Wrap the wire twice around the round nose pliers, and then make a loop inside the coil.
wrap the ends of the rope tight with tape, and cut it leaving about 1/4" of the taped part.
You need 11" of rope.
Place E6000 glue around the taped ends, and force the rope inside the end caps.
Pass the short end of the nylon line into one or two beads, pull it tight and cut the excess line.
release some of the tension of the line and use the crimp pliers to close the crimp tube around the nylon line.
For the ivory chain, I did pretty much the same steps, except that the nylon line is in 4 smaller parts alternated with the nylon thread chain.
I used the 4 bigger size pearls, alternating the Swarovski spacers and two smaller pearls on each side.
very nice idea and very stylish!
Eyewears have always been a favorite fashion accessory and with the addition of pearls, it looks more stylish and unique. Wat can better than to protect your eyes in style.

They each have different key features to fit what you are looking for in a bassinet.
This bassinet enables you to keep your baby close to you. It can be used as a stand-alone bassinet or attached to the side of your bed as a bassinet co-sleeper. The convenience of this allows you to keep it right next to your bed for easier night feedings and feeling secure that you can be close to your newborn. With a co-sleeper, you don't have to get out of bed in the middle of the night because you have the convenience of baby being within arm's reach. Many breastfeeding moms love co-sleepers when it comes to the middle of the night feedings.
It has breathable mesh on the sides that provide ventilation. The mesh also helps there to be maximum visibility for a 360-degree view. This bassinet comes with a waterproof mattress, one sheet, and straps for the optional use of securing it to your bed. It also has a roomy storage basket on the bottom.
One of the great things about this model is that it has adjustable legs so you can get the height you want. It also has caster wheels so you can roll it throughout your house.
Lots of mothers who have gotten the Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper say that they do not know what they would do without it and consider it the best bassinet for newborn. Many parents, who have gotten this bassinet for their second child, say that they wish they had gotten one earlier when their first child was an infant.
You need a screwdriver to assemble it, and many parents are saying that putting it together takes about 20- 30 minutes. Once put together, The Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper is not easily taken down and is not able to fold up for travel.
It is designed for use by babies up to five months. If a baby is able to push himself up on his hands and knees then it is time to move to a crib, as this will create a danger of tipping over.
You can find more information about this bassinet (Price, Buyers reviews, …) here!
The Karley Bassinet has several features that parents look for when searching for the best bassinet for newborn. It comes with a double canopy that zips up, which is great for anyone wishing to keep pets from jumping on their baby or keeping mosquitoes and other pests away. The double canopy has mesh, so you can still see your little one. Neither of the canopies is removable.
This bassinet is lightweight and easily portable. The thing that sets this bassinet apart is that it folds up and is great to take it on trips. Several parents love how this bassinet easily collapses for travel. The drawback of it being lighter weight is that it only has a weight limit of 10 pounds.
The Karley Bassinet is great for small spaces. Many parents report that it is a good height and depth for reaching their little one without having to bend too much or strain.
It is made with polyester foam fabric, and it comes with a mattress pad. The fabric is made of a material that is easily cleaned. It comes in five color combinations: light blue, aqua blue, pink and gray, pink and rose.

The Sweet Beginnings Bassinet is an attractive, classically styled bassinet. It has a simple design with gender-neutral colors featuring a white background with a taupe leaf pattern.
This bassinet comes with a removable canopy, a unit that plays a selection of lullabies and a nightlight. It has a mattress pad and comes with a fitted sheet. The bassinet's fabric is machine washable. On the bottom, it has locking caster wheels that allow the bassinet to be moved from room to room.

The sides do have breathable mesh under the ruffle. The canopy can be adjusted to block overhead light. Parents praise the convenience of the nightlight during those middle of the night feedings and diaper changes. However, the music module that the bassinet comes with plays, which plays simple lullabies that are meant to be soothing, has many customers commenting about the lack of volume adjustment options and the music being too loud.
The Sweet Beginnings Bassinet meets or exceeds ASTM and CPSC standers and JPMA certifications. Many parents are saying great things about this bassinet's economic pricing and are calling this a great value, which is why it tops many lists as one of the best bassinet for newborn.


Snatching Dianna was an interesting and action packed novel. The storyline was easy to follow and moved quickly. It was fitting, too, how important it was to locate a missing person in a certain amount of time. The individuals that made up the primary characters of the novel consisted of an interesting mix including lawyers, law students, special agents, and police. I loved how strong Dianna remained in the face of danger and handled being taken. She never gave up hope. There was also a hint of steamy romance mixed in. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Ecological and sturdy, the Innovative Hybrid Bike is an air-powered bicycle which can be pedaled without difficulty, even in areas where the terrain is hilly. More economical than the electric bike, it is a sustainable means of transport that is accessible to all.
In some areas of the Mediterranean, the rugged topography makes it challenging to use bikes. It is from this observation that engineer Emilio Sassine and technical consultant Elie Najem designed a pneumatic pedal-assisted bicycle to facilitate cycling. Currently in the prototype phase, this innovative system allows pedaling without great effort with a very low impact on the environment.
Named "Innovative Hybrid Bike", the bicycle is powered by an air motor with a compressed air tank, similar to a scuba tank. It is rechargeable commercially in 2-3 minutes or 30 minutes with a home compressor, which is a big advantage over the electric bike, with a charging time of usually 3 to 6 hours.
It is estimated that lithium batteries electric bikes have a lifespan of 3 years of daily use. The batteries must be recycled properly because they contain chemicals and pollutants while air-assisted bicycles have a very long lifespan of up to 20 years. Furthermore, the pneumatic motor and tank require no maintenance.
This initiative offers a solution avoiding pollution, traffic, and energy consumption with a very low environmental impact.
Emilio Sassine and Elie Najem, creators of Innovative Hybrid Bike.
Providing assistance when needed, the Innovative Hybrid Bike broadens the number of users and encourages the use of bicycles as an environmentally friendly means of transport. Its low purchase cost and ease of maintenance makes it a means of transport particularly well suited to Lebanon, home country of Emilio Sassine. If the topographic conditions can be a barrier to bicycle use, this system offers a high-performance, economical and ecological solution.

SPU Named Team of Week After Beating No. 1 SFU
SPU defeated top-ranked Simon Fraser last week and has not lost since it's first match of the season, an eight-game unbeaten stretch.
PORTLAND, Ore. – Even at home, the task of taking down the No. 1 team in the NCAA is daunting. On Thursday, the Seattle Pacific men's soccer team proved it was up to the challenge as the Falcons dealt Simon Fraser its first loss of 2013 in a 2-1 triumph in Seattle.
"We knew Simon Fraser was going to be good and they have had our number for the past couple of seasons," SPU head coach Mark Collings commented. "They were the best team we have played up to this point and I felt like we matched up well with them."
SPU set the tone early, as Davis Karaica (M, 6-1, Fr., Snoqualmie, WA – Mount Si) slotted home the first goal of the game in the 12th minute to give the Falcons a 1-0 edge.
The Clan, which has already won three games in dramatic come-from-behind fashion this season, evened the score 11 minutes later.
The teams remained deadlocked at 1-1 until the 79th minute, when Danny Olivas (M, 6-1, So., Phoenix, AZ – O'Connor) found the back of the net from 17 yards out.
"Our initial reaction when Danny scored was to think about how to hold onto the lead," said Collings regarding the late difference maker. "We just tried to figure out where they were causing us problems and how we could patch up those areas for the final 10 minutes."
SPU held its ground through the final buzzer, preventing SFU from attempting a shot the rest of the way.
"Our approach was to stick to what we've been doing and see if we could dictate the play and use our style rather than submit to following theirs," Collings responded when asked how his team prepared for the match. "It really went both ways and there were periods where each team had a better run of play," Collings said, adding, "our goalkeeper made a couple really big saves."
On Saturday, SPU fell behind to Western Washington on a goal in the 24th minute. The Vikings took the 1-0 advantage into halftime, but SPU came out of the break ready to go as Bryson Pavel (D, 6-0, So., Boise, ID – Boise) evened the score in the first minute of the second half. More than an hour later the teams had battled through two overtime periods to no avail, as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
The tie pushed SPU's unbeaten streak to eight games, as the Falcons haven't lost since their first match of the season against Chico State.
The Falcons are still one point behind SFU in the GNAC standings, but the win on Thursday proved that SPU has what it takes to compete with top teams across Division II.
"It definitely felt great for our program to beat a team of that quality," said Collings regarding his team's response to the victory over SFU. "It really helped our team believe in what we are doing."
SPU hosts Saint Martin's this Saturday before hitting the road to take on Northwest Nazarene and Montana State Billings the following weekend.
"Saint Martin's is probably the surprise team of the conference thus far, and they are always well organized and have players that can hurt us," said Collings looking ahead to SPU's next match.
While the victory over Simon Fraser highlighted a successful start to the 2013 season, Collings recognized that there is still a long way to go to get to the post season.
"We emphasized that this is just one game against a top team, and we still have to play them again later in the season," Collings said. "We're definitely excited for the second half and are hoping we can get even better."
"Ultimately the goal is to get to the post season and do what you can in a bunch of one-game playoffs," Collings said regarding his team's potential to reach the playoffs. "So far, we are very pleased with the progression of our team both as a unit and as individuals since the beginning of the season."

ECAPS expedites appointment process
Courtesy of Elise Harrison
By Annika Hom
Emerson Counseling and Psychological Services created a system of "triage appointments" this semester in effort to offer appointments faster for students who need it most.
Triage appointments indicate a degree of urgency, so students can express the need for immediate care.
ECAPS implemented the change after receiving numerous complaints about how long it took for students to get appointments. The number of students requesting counseling services increased 23 percent this year compared to last, meaning it can now take a few weeks for a student to receive their first appointment, said Elise Harrison, director of ECAPS.
Harrison said she did not want students who needed urgent help, like someone with suicidal thoughts, to wait weeks before meeting with a clinician. As a solution, Harrison said ECAPS decided to create triage appointments this semester, which prioritize students' appointments if they needed immediate care.
Harrison said students also raised concerns about Emerson counseling's off-campus services.
The first problem, Harrison said, is that it takes a long time for students to receive referrals. Harrison said ECAPS sends emails to practicing therapists each semester, and staff consider factors such as insurance, availability, and location when referring students. She said councilors usually refer three therapists to each student in case one of them becomes unavailable.
Since all of the information must be browsed manually by the staff, students can wait up to two weeks before receiving referrals, Harrison said. After they are referred to off-campus services, students receive a follow-up email from therapists and ECAPS about whether they found care elsewhere, Harrison said.
Students complained in the office's satisfaction survey last semester that the referred therapists were unable to take new clients, Harrison said.
Last fall, Harrison requested that Emerson's Information of Technology staff create a more efficient database in order to speed up and organize the referral process.
Robert Parks, senior software application developer, said this new K2 software will make it easier for ECAPS staff to find therapists faster.
Previously, if a student wanted to find a psychiatrist near a specific location, ECAPS staff would need to search manually through each address. Parks said he decided to organize addresses by area in the new database, so ECAPS staff could filter psychiatrists by zip code, speeding up the process.
This software can also filter therapists by a variety of other factors, including type of insurance or type of practitioner, Parks said.
IT staff are focusing on implementing the software and are being trained on its use. Parks said he hopes it will be ready for ECAPS by the end of the semester.
"We're constantly working to make sure students are not left without services," Harrison said.

Microgaming announces the release of four new games for August: a multi-player video slot, video slot, exciting slot pursuit and a bingo draw game.
Four new games are due to be added to the Microgaming collection of entertainment during the month of August.
This month, Multi-Player Isis will join Microgaming's selection of multi-player games and has its roots in the popular video slot Isis. With its ancient Egyptian theme, this game boasts 40 paylines, a chat option and exciting features such as stacked wilds, free spins and multipliers. One of the great elements of this multi-player game is that when a player sets off the bonus round, all gamers that are in the room at the same time may participate. Multi-Player Isis will be accessible on the Microgaming download platform.
The next new Microgaming game in August is Triangulation that has elements of a classic slot combined with additional features to create a thrilling pursuit. The main object of this game is to produce a sequence of triangles inside the frame that in itself is a triangular shape. Bonus symbols, a bonus game and wilds are features at this new game. Players will be able to access Triangulation on Quick-Fire and Flash.
Microgaming is also introducing a fun table game by the name of Spingo. This pursuit involves an element of bingo and a wheel similar to a roulette wheel. Players place wagers on different combinations of numbers and colours at Spingo that will be accessible on QuickFire and Flash.
A new 5 reel video slot game, Mount Olympus: The Revenge of Medusa will also be appearing on Microgaming sites during August. This game with its 25 paylines has a Greek mythological theme and features lucky snakes and fun elements like a wild, bonus and free spins.
