Poor customer service and untrustworthy!
I don't really know much about cars so broad lane motors offered me a comprehensive 3 month warranty which he also wrote on my receipt. On the drive home I noticed a knocking noise coming from the engine another noise from the left hand side of the car the steering was heavy and pulling to one side the window wipers were making a loud noise also. I took the car to my local garage who told me the dual mass fly wheel was on its way out, one of the injectors was not working an anti roll bar link was broken the wipers needed changing the tracking was out and the power steering fluid was empty. I paid for the wipers antiroll bar link power steering and tracking but as the car was under warranty I felt the dmf and injector should be done by him I called broad lane motors and instantly the man was very rude and nasty saying the warranty was a mistake and he will not be paying a penny for anything I now don't have a car to drive and a long fight with trading standards on my side.
A fantastic garage in the heart of Bradford. With a fantastic group of people with great expertise in cars. I bought a rare find Peugeot 407 top of the range with extremely low mileage and full service history for an amazing price. They work extremely efficiently and with great care and attention to detail. Definitely recommend these guys to anybody in and around the Bradford area.
I recently purchased a vehicle from BROAD LANE for my wife, they were professional, courteous and honest with me "and the best coffee in the UK" they are totally knowledgable and the communication including AFTER SALES was fantastic, the car was exactly as described, I received immediate warranty for 3 months no hassle - I would like to give credit where it is due and this is an honest review, I rate Broad lane 5***** and A+++++ Good people to deal with, no pressure, no hassle just try them and you won't regret them :) I will be going back to Broad lane either for my next car or to source a car in the future "yes they are that good" and I now trust them, it was worth the 120 mile round trip and I WILL DO IT AGAIN - Thanks guys my wife is a happy wife.
Great car dealer exactly what you want ! I love my new and the experience was a dream ! Will definitely buy a car here again !
HI SOPHIE You were best customer of the week MANY THANKS.


Tesco has launched a reorganisation of its non-food internet operation after the business failed to make any profits last year, Financial Mail can reveal.
Low margins on goods sold by Tesco Direct are blamed for the poor performance of the division.
The site, launched in 2006, was widely seen as the supermarket giant's assault on High Street general merchandise retailer Argos.
Tesco has even opened counters in some of its biggest stores that are similar to Argos outlets. But despite booming sales, believed to be in excess of £500million a year, the site has struggled.
Tesco insiders said expansion of its Marketplace site, which relies on third-party suppliers rather than Tesco's own supply chain, would help to tip the balance.
It is also understood that Tesco wants to further develop its online clothing offer to help boost profit margins. The rise of the internet has been blamed for the demise of many shops. But the news of Tesco's struggles will cast doubt on hopes that retailers can revive their fortunes by tapping into internet sales.
Retail analyst Nick Bubb said he was surprised by the revelation that even Tesco could not make money selling general merchandise online.
He understood Tesco had blamed its dependency on low-margin electrical products in particular. High Street retailers usually make money on electrical goods only by selling extended warranties.
It also highlights the fierce price competition online where high-volume goods such as books, music and DVDs are regarded as 'loss leaders' – products sold for little or no profit merely to attract shoppers in the hope they buy other goods.
Amazon, which had sales of £3.2billion in Britain in 2010, operates on margins of less than two per cent.
Argos owner Home Retail Group will next month reveal whether it plans to radically cut back on its 750 stores. City investors are pressing the company to review the number of outlets to focus on its internet business as sales collapse.
David Jeary, analyst at stockbroker Investec, said he also expected Argos to announce it planned to axe its final dividend. Last year it paid out 10p per share to investors.
Tesco has previously said its online food delivery service, run separately from Tesco Direct, turns a profit.


Most lactation professionals love client interactions, but only send reports to health care providers out of a sense of duty. But writing and sending reports to our client's health care providers can be more just an administrative task. Yes, it complies with IBLCE's Code of Ethics to "Principle 4: Report accurately and completely to other members of the healthcare team" but it can also increase collaboration, improve client outcomes, and grow your practice. This presentation seeks to reframe the process of writing and sending reports from a dreaded task to a clinical, ethical, and holistic way of supporting our clients while positively positioning ourselves as allied health professionals. Beyond the ethics (yes or no) and practicalities ("S.O.A.P." or not), a report to a health care provider is a source of communication about the consultation as well as marketing about your clinical skill, role in the client's lactation experience, and lactation practice. With a combination of the why and how, this presentation outlines the ways in which reports to health care providers can be beneficial to the client, the health care provider, and the IBCLC, as well as devoting some time to specific strategies that lactation consultants can implement to streamline the process of sending reports so that we can get to the next client.
While lactation support spans the time from the prenatal period through weaning, there is less available information about the process of weaning. We know that there are a variety of reasons why families need or desire to stop lactation. We also know that there are emotions and logistics involved in ending a breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship. Depending on the goals, timeline, and individual context of each dyad there are a variety of factors that need to be considered by the family. Unfortunately, these families often feel that the clinical information and emotional support available for weaning is lacking.Evidence-based support presented in a compassionate manner can make a world of difference to the individual's decision-making process and overall weaning experience. For lactation supporters and professionals, being able to support families who are stopping lactation and/or ending their breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship is a vital skill. This presentation will offer research-based information about the reasons for weaning, steps lactation supporters and professionals can take when working with families, and scripts for compassionate phrasing while offering this important information and support.
"Full-term," "natural term," or "extended" are just a few of the phrased that are often used when describing breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationships that last longer than the cultural norm for a given community or geographic region. We know that breastfeeding/chestfeeding past infancy is full of benefits for both the parent and the child. Yet many families who plan for (or unintentionally find themselves in) a breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship into toddlerhood or beyond face critiques, emotions, logistics, and a need for support that is unique to this experience. This presentation will cover considerations of full-term nursing including an overview of developmental stages for a breastfeeding/chestfeeding child, changes in milk composition, and psychobiological benefits to both the child and parent. We will also explore ways that lactation supporters and professionals may offer support, encouragement, and guidance to these families. Whether you have been supporting full-term nursing for years, or this is an area that you'd like to learn more about, you're sure to leave this presentation with insights and strategies that you can use to support full-term nursing families.

It was a sunny May day and gathering around my Mother's family table sat myself, my Mom, Nana / Grandmother, Great Aunts, Aunts, Cousins & Siblings, all of them lovingly taking a turn holding my newborn baby. All of the adults at the table were mothers and this was the first time I sat in their presence as a "Mother." I was humbled and stunned. I had always loved, revered and respected my family but that day I looked at all of them with a new found respect. They were mothers who had sacrificed their bodies, time and mental energies…AND they had survived. But how? How the heck did they do it? Sleep deprived, hormonally questionable and constantly reminded by my engorged breasts that I was exclusively nursing a 12 pound baby, I could not find the words to ask these questions out loud, so I simply listened and watched as my family laughed and reminisced about motherhood. Alas, it was night-time and time to leave. As everyone stood up to go and helped me swaddle the baby, they joked about how sore their arms would be the next day. On that note, my Grandmother and Great Aunt joked about how they used to lift soup cans to strengthen their arms in preparation for motherhood, my Mom and Aunt joked about Jane Fonda Videos…and I realized, exercising and moving was inherently instilled in me as a small child. Of course I exercised and of course I exercised during my pregnancy, so much so I took it for granted. And there it was, that a-ha moment. During my pregnancy, I had been so focused on the birth and exercise for birth, that I overlooked the physicality of motherhood. Unbeknownst to me, I was ready. The exercises I had practiced during pregnancy strengthened my arms, back and tummy for motherhood. This memory is profoundly moving to me, and help motivate me to devote my career to maternal fitness.


I don't know if I would rank it as one of the best I've ever played, but I will admit to enjoying The Witcher. I know... saying it that way is damning it with faint praise.
The interface clunkiness in some of the dialogs makes it less than perfect, but it is intelligently done and not impossible to play if you have a little patience in picking up your skills. Once you accumulate enough cash to start reading books, you can start honing your skill at making potions, oils, and bombs. The game picks up as your alchemy skills pick up. It is open-ended enough that you can pick and choose the order of your quests and explore a lot. Therefore, there is at least SOME illusion of choice in the game even though your choices are a bit limited.
Of course, games of that genre are merely the next generation of adventure books, because in the end, you are just trying to experience the story being told by the authors. It is merely a new medium for experiencing the action, scenery, and intrigue of a well-written story - a medium where you see (and live through) the action rather than read it; where you see the village rather than read its description.
Just a couple of random thoughts from a veteran gamer.
Worst - there are too many to list.
If I need to pick one game for PC I would say halflife.
James, you've nearly got your post count to ten. One more to go. Congrats.


Perfect race conditions at CBP!
The Citizen's Bank Park Spartan Stadium Series Sprint brought together a perfect storm last Saturday. From the moment I entered the venue and spotted David Magida warming up for the Elite race to late that afternoon hanging out in the parking lot with my teammates, this day continually served up meetings with friends old and new. So let's meet them as I run you around the bases.
I arrived early to cover the Elite and AG heats. Parking was free and the lots were pretty empty up towards the registration tents. All the systems were up so I grabbed my Media Pass, went through security, and got right to work scoping everything out. The festival area was mostly located along Ashburn Alley. That's where Magida was cruising along so I figured I might meet a few more Elites warming up. I caught most of them entering the corral just before start time.
But first I hung around chatting with three young men, the volunteers for the day at the corral wall. This was their first time volunteering. They were there to earn a free race. They knew that secret already. I gave them a few more courtesies of MRG. If you want a 2018 Spartan Race coupon for 50% off (the best discount anywhere), it's exclusively on MRG. If you only want 10% off anytime, that's on MRG too. But if you want free, then volunteer. I'm always surprised when I see social media posts asking for discount coupons. There, the whole secret is now out.
There's an obstacle before you even start the race!
After the men took off, the ladies entered the corral. That's when I noticed Joe DeSena watching the excitement. He wanted me to know that he would do the course soon carrying a 40# kettlebell while also doing 300 burpees. The Spartan leader always sets the example. He also noticed details like my sneakers, a well-worn pair of Reebok ATs. Now that Reebok and Spartan have parted ways, I guess Joe wanted me to wear something else so he offered me the opportunity to try out a new pair of OCR shoes. Cool.
I went FB live for the starts and then made my way out to the course to provide some coverage. Outside the stadium was the Atlas Carry, Spear Throw, and Dolly Crawl. Then I went back in to capture the action at the finish line. Runners entered the field over by third base where my buddy Mathew Renk took the action photos along the third base line. Four hurdles, a rope climb, two eight-foot walls, and finally the box jumps rounded out the course along the warning track. I got there just as Yeniz Parton sewed up third place Elite female at the box jump. The fourth and fifth place ladies were close behind.
Chrisa Sloan-Dustman got fifth, then went back and ran it again along with many others who enjoy this short course for both competition and friendly runs. Robin Fontaine did the same thing. Ran right by me all sweaty, gave a thumbs up, and did it again. Larry Cooper and his wife Ginger also wrapped up their first round but waited until noon to go again with Ginger's new training client. The top finishers however were still hanging around the gauntlet so I spent some time interviewing David Magida and Isaiah Vidal on MRG FB Live. They enjoyed a good battle out there with Isaiah edging out David for first.
I then returned to my car, changed out of my media gear into my race gear, and re-entered the stadium. There I met up with my team for the day, a bunch of friends from work, Team ACE. I also spotted a local trainer friend, James Jefferson and his team of fourteen athletes. He and his team, some special needs kids, were so excited to be where their favorite baseball team plays.
I had just a few moments to talk to other friends from way back at ABF Mud Run, James Schissler, Ron Lenczewski, and Charles Vassallo. It was a great reunion. Then it was off to the races.
This year's course was almost a mirror image of last year (it was reversed). The temperature was cool, partly cloudy, and dry. Perfect conditions for a race. It started by going straight up a long flight of stairs to the next deck. Then we wove between the rows, back down some stairs, and picked up our double sandbags for a very long carry along, up, and back down multiple tiers. My buddy John and I were totally prepared this year for this kind of race. We trained at the local high school stadiums practicing running at high speed along the narrow rows, carrying heavy stuff up and down the stairs, and transitioning to and from obstacles to these long, winding runs.
I was bummed that there was no Olympus obstacle. I failed it twice this year at other venues. So I built one in my backyard to be ready this time. Instead, I failed the rig. I'll use Hubie Cushman's design to put one in my backyard and ensure that I never fail that one again. On a bright note, I went four-for-four on the spear throw this year. Very cool. Yes, I have a spear and hay bale in my backyard.
After the race, John and I hung out waiting for the rest of our team to finish. We chugged our FitAid Recovery drinks and downed the bananas and Clif Bars (all complimentary) while we went over to check our results. At the time, he and I were first and second in AG Open Class. By the end of the day, I held onto 3rd and John 5th. So we were pretty stoked to qualify early for 2019 NORAM. We also ran into my neighbors Megan and her mom. I trained Megan last year for OCR. After that, we headed down to McFadden's for our last Spartan freebie before heading back across the bridge and home in New Jersey.
Spartan has this race and venue very well planned, staffed, course marked, and stocked. It is a lot of fun. It was one of the best days of my season. I highly recommend this 5-star (of 5) race, especially for new OCR athletes and those still thinking about it.

The Quinnipiac Chronicle • April 5, 2006 • https://quchronicle.com/5278/sports/baseball-wins-weekend-series/
Baseball wins weekend series
Michael T. Lyle Jr.
Despite a wet and mild weekend, the Quinnipiac baseball team clinched a hard-fought series against Northeast Conference foe Mount Saint Mary's over the weekend.
Quinnipiac (8-12-1, 4-2 NEC) split a Sunday twinbill with The Mount, dropping the first game 3-2 before sweating out a tough 8-5 win in the rubber match of the weekend series at Bobcat Field.
"No matter how many games you play on a weekend, you have to play your rear end off to win them all," Quinnipiac head coach Dan Gooley said. "I give my hats' off to Mount Saint Mary's for a tough series, but I also give credit for our team bouncing back in the second game."
The squads were originally scheduled to play a doubleheader on Saturday, but following the Bobcats' 9-2, seven-inning series opening win, heavy rain postponed the second game to a much-nicer Sunday afternoon.
The scheduling change didn't seem to bother Quinnipiac as much, yet the team struggled offensively in the first contest. After Mount Saint Mary's jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, Wilson Matos uncorked his third homerun of the season with a two-run shot to right center, putting the home team up, 2-1.
But the Mountaineers sealed the win with clutch plays in the sixth inning. After Joe Kotula's RBI double knotted the score at 2-2, a squeeze play by Matt Eiden plated the go-ahead run in Brandon Woods to complete the scoring. The Mount's Dustin Pease (5-2) took the win while Eric Bretscher (0-3) suffered the loss in relief.
In the second game, however, the Bobcats redeemed themselves. Fueled by a two-run single by Matos, Quinnipiac raced out to a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Ryan Rizzo added to the lead in the fourth with a two-out, two-run homer to right center and Quinnipiac had a 6-0 advantage. Jeff Mainetti and Tim Binkoski added RBI singles in the fifth and sixth innings to seemingly put the Bobcats in control, 8-0.
Quinnipiac, however, started to unravel in the seventh. Freshman pitcher Andy Mayer started the inning with two wild pitches that accounted for two of the three runs Mount Saint Mary's scored to chip into the lead. Woods drove in another run on a single in the eighth to cut the Bobcat lead in half, 8-4.
But Quinnipiac wouldn't allow Mount Saint Mary's (10-13, 3-3) to get any closer. Paul Gibson and Michael Oskandy combined to shut down six of the last eleven Mountaineer batters en route to the win. Mayer (3-2) went seven innings, gave up three runs on six hits, struck out five and took the mound decision. Mount Saint Mary's starting pitcher Justin Davis (2-3) suffered the loss.
Matos was the key to the Bobcats' two wins in the series. The junior infielder had four hits, drove in four runs and smacked a homer over the weekend. He's currently second on the team with a .333 batting average.
"(Matos) swung the bat well," Gooley said. "He's been playing real well for us the last 10 days. He's an acrobat and great athlete".
Quinnipiac was slated to continue its homestand with non-conference contests against Siena and in-state rival Yale on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Wednesday's game against Yale starts at 3 p.m. from Bobcat Field.
The Bobcats resume NEC play this weekend with a three-game series at Sacred Heart.

Cranberry Juice—A Cocktail for the Heart
11:10am, March 27, 2003
Chemist Joe Vinson has a passion for foods and the potentially beneficial antioxidants they bring to the dinner table.
Three years ago, for instance, he reported data showing that molecule for molecule, the antioxidants in chocolate exceed the potency of vitamin C. Now he finds another powerful stash of these protective compounds in cranberries and their juice. Moreover, the University of Scranton scientist reports this week at the American Chemical Society's spring meeting in New Orleans, regular consumption of that juice yields cholesterol benefits in middle-age men and women.
Many plant-based foods, especially the colorful ones, contain large quantities of polyphenols. As antioxidants, these compounds quash the damage that natural oxidants can do in the body. Indeed, a large number of disorders associated with aging–including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and several types of dementia–have been linked to damage caused by a slow and unremitting onslaught of oxidants.
In his latest study, Vinson and his colleagues provided 20 men and women 8-ounce servings of cranberry juice cocktail, which contains 27 percent juice. He offered his recruits the type available in stores, which is heavily sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup and supplemented with extra vitamin C, or a low-calorie alternative that the Scranton scientists concocted daily from pure juice. Twelve chose the low-cal juice, which was sweetened solely with a sugar-free compound.
Drinking cranberry juice three times a day over the course of a month increased all the volunteers' blood concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol–the so-called good cholesterol–by 10 percent. The juice didn't affect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or triglycerides, which are other fatty substances in the blood. However, epidemiological studies by others have correlated HDL-cholesterol increases of this magnitude with about a 40 percent drop in heart-disease risk, Vinson notes.
Cranberries lead the antioxidant pack
In earlier studies, the Scranton team surveyed the antioxidant potential of several fruits and vegetables. Overall, fruits surpassed the veggies, "and cranberries had more antioxidants than any other fruit," Vinson observes. Several of cranberry's polyphenol antioxidants are procyanidins, the same family of pigments that make cherries red.
When the chemists investigated pure cranberry juice, they found its antioxidant punch exceeded by 50 percent the potency of its next closest juice competitor, grape juice. However, because cranberries are so tart, their juice has to be diluted and sweetened to be palatable. Yet even in this cocktail form, Vinson found, 27 percent cranberry juice still ranked second only to pure grape juice in its ability to defuse oxidants.
With funding and cranberries supplied by the Cranberry Institute, he then investigated antioxidants delivered to the blood by juice.
To evaluate whether it was the cranberry juice or the sugar and vitamin C in the cocktail that provided any benefit in the new study, the Scranton chemists offered just an 8-ounce glass of the sugar water and the vitamin to 10 men and women as a breakfast drink. Each had fasted the night before.
Over the next 4 hours, the researchers periodically sampled the volunteers' blood and tested its ability to quash oxidants. To Vinson's surprise, the blood actually fostered oxidation. After a bagel and soft drink at lunchtime, the assays continued and showed that the potentially unhealthy pro-oxidant effect lasted a total of 7 hours, Vinson told Science News Online.
On another day, he repeated the tests, this time giving each volunteer an 8-ounce glass of the sugar-sweetened cranberry juice cocktail. This time, he notes, "we had a good antioxidant effect for the whole 7 hours, even after that blast of high-fructose corn syrup [in the soft drink] and bagel at lunch."
More juice, better protection
In a follow-up trial, Vinson's team put 20 adults, mostly middle age and all with moderately elevated, unhealthy total-blood-cholesterol concentrations, on a cranberry-juice regimen. For the first month, each person drank a daily 8-ounce glass of either the sugared or surgarfree cranberry-juice cocktail. During the second month, each recruit drank two glasses daily. During the last month of the experiment, daily juice intake increased to three glasses.
Before the trial and at the end of each month, the scientists ran a series of tests on the blood of each participant. Those data confirmed that the antioxidant defense of the blood increased steadily with the increasing juice intake. Compared with the before-juice measurements, concentrations of oxidation products in the volunteers' blood was 15 percent lower after the first month of the trial and about 40 percent lower by the close of the third month.
Assays of the participants' blood showed no change in their triglycerides or total cholesterol concentrations. However, HDL cholesterol increased–but only in the three-glass-per-day phase of the trial. Just that's worth a lot, says Vinson. Doctors lament the fact that although low-HDL cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, there are few prescriptions they can offer patients that raise this lipid–other than to give up smoking, drink a little alcohol, or exercise regularly.
For people who would prefer a pocket version of the potential cranberry therapy for cholesterol, Vinson notes that dried berries are available in stores. His assays, by the way, indicate that dried cranberries pack 10 percent more antioxidants than prunes and 50 percent more than raisins do.

By special arrangement with Katharine T. Carter & Associates of New York, Gallery 363 at Leadership Memphis is pleased to present the artwork of Kaethe Kauffman. An opening reception will be held on Friday , December 27, from 6:00 – 8:30 pm.
Kauffman, a practicing Buddhist, creates spiritual paintings, drawings, and prints that reflect her personal experiences of meditation. Kauffman's paintings, drawings, and murals are in many private and corporate collections, and have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Berkeley, San Francisco, Australia, and Europe.
A portion of the proceeds from sales at this show will benefit Mid-South Spay & Neuter. The gallery at 363 S. Main is curated & managed by Allen Hall Projects. For appointments to view the artwork after the opening reception, call 452-8033.
The core foundations of drawing will be emphasized in this class: line, perspective, composition, figure/ground relationships, shading techniques, tonal value, texture, and critical thinking. A variety of media will help students explore how drawing leads to personal expression. This class is perfect for the beginner as well as the experienced artist looking to revisit the basics of drawing.
Children learn about formal art techniques, color relationships and art history through fun and imaginative projects. Drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture will be explored.
In this class, we will explore the basics of watercolor painting and the methods for achieving watercolor's beautiful sparkle and vibrant color. Discussion will include the history of watercolor, materials, painting techniques and color mixing. Demonstrations provide easy understanding of techniques such as washes, dry/wet brush, and glazing. The student will work with various projects in the classroom and will be encouraged to keep a sketchbook.
Students will have an opportunity to exercise their creativity and explore mark making as a fundamental form of artistic expression. The class will focus on developing each student's personal approach to making art, while learning to work with a broad range of mediums and experimenting with subject selection, spatial concerns and overall composition.
Whether you use a film camera, digital camera, camera/phone, or tablet the problem to solve is the same, making pictures worth looking at. The computerized and automatic nature of today's cameras takes the sting out of a lot of the technical and mechanical skills necessary to make compelling imagery. Now you can spend more creative time with the heart of the matter, you and the object of your desire.
This class will use the figure as a springboard to explore color, composition, and different painting techniques. Each class starts with an hour of gesture and short pose drawings before moving into a longer pose. Some of the exercises in this class will focus on proportion, but the essence of the class is about finding an expressive way to interpret the model in the environment. We will be using charcoal, graphite, and acrylic paint. If the student wishes to work with another material please call the studio to make arrangements.
This class is an introduction to painting with oils on paper. We will explore painting from life and make paintings in one -sitting. Students will learn the basics of mixing colors and composition while learning how to "draw" with paint. You will be amazed at how much you can capture in each session!
Please join Nancy at David Lusk Gallery as she discusses her current show, Arcadia.
Memphis Heritage is excited to present a new selection of photographs from the Don Newman archive.
Best known for his stunningly elegant streetscapes of downtown Memphis, this show displays a more varied selection of Newman's images. Photographing both on assignment and out of personal necessity, Don Newman applied the same clear-eyed description to all of his work. This concise edit on display at Crosstown Arts includes images ranging from a tableaux of diligent pressmen, to iconic depictions of both the Harlem House and the Sears building, to a man sensationally defying gravity in a jetpack.
Working primarily with an 8"x10" view camera, Newman's photographs possess a methodical stillness that is indicative of working with a cumbersome tripod mounted camera. The big negatives that are a result of this camera also enable Newman's photographs to be enlarged to a monumental scale, while retaining a high degree of detail. Newman's dispassionate eye is the unifying form that binds these photographs together and imparts them their mysterious objectivity.
Don Newman's work is the result of being deeply curious about photography and Memphis. These photographs are an amazing gift that let us view an uncanny and often beautiful world that has largely vanished, but remains present in these vividly described pictures.
This exhibition is organized by Memphis Heritage.
Don Newman was a native Memphian. Born in 1919, he graduated from Tech High School in 1937 and began working for commercial and industrial photograph George Haley shortly thereafter. In 1939 Don married Bertha Mae to whom he was wed until he passed away in 1994. Newman worked briefly as a photographer for the Memphis Engraving Company and then for Frank Hitchings who he eventually bought out with Jack Fury after Hitchings' retirement. Many of the photographs in the Newman archive were produced for assignments or jobs, but a large number were made to satisfy his personal curiosity and interests. "His work was all by hand, " Bertha Mae has said. "He took the pictures, developed the film, and did the printing himself. It was an interesting life and he liked that."
Please check out local artist Meghan Vaziri's website. She may also be found on the Visual Memphis Artist page.
Olloclip: A 4-in-1 photo lens for the iPhone. The new Olloclip photo lens attaches to your iPhone and turns it into a high-functioning camera with 4 different lenses. The lens is compatible with the iPhone 4,5,5s and 5th generation iPod Touch. The workshop will highlight the Olloclip and how to use it most effectively. Includes an Olloclip.

Four students from Memphis College of Art have been named as finalists in the student division of NICHE magazine's annual NICHE Awards. Glen Fiscus, Kalon Fowler and Amanda Nalley are nominated in the Metal (sculptural) category, while Nicole Cornacchione and Amanda Nalley are nominated in the Teapot category. All are students of Bill Price, assistant professor of Metals and Sculpture.
NICHE magazine was founded with the idea of connecting art galleries and craft retailers with the finest crafts, handmade gifts and decorative art objects made in artist studios. The Awards program was started in 1989 as a way to recognize excellence and innovation in American and Canadian fine craft. Artists are recognized in professional and student divisions in categories including ceramics, fashion accessories, fiber, glass, home furnishings, jewelry, metal, mixed and miscellaneous media, recycled, teapots and wood. The awards ceremony is held each February at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia in conjunction with the Buyers Market of American Craft.
The students' work can currently be viewed on the NICHE website atwww.nicheawards.com.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — MCA Professor of Fine Arts Susan Maakestad was announced Monday as one of the recipients of the inaugural ArtsMemphis ArtsAccelerator Grant in a special reception in the Hyde Gallery of Memphis College of Art's Nesin Graduate Center. The grant marks the first program for individual visual artists in ArtsMemphis' fifty-year history. Under the program, each artist will receive $3,000 for individual projects.
"I am thrilled to be named one of the recipients," said Maakestad. "The timing couldn't be better for me and my work." Maakestad plans to use the funds to rent studio space at the Medicine Factory, a premiere studio space for professional artists in Memphis. The space there would allow for increased interaction with area artists and create the opportunity for Maakestad to participate in open studios, give students access to visit her studio and be easily accessible to visiting artists and curators. Additionally, Maakestad would have the ability to create large canvases, currently not an option in her home studio. "I have missed out on past public art opportunities in Tennessee and nationally because larger work was desired. I have been interested in the abstracted landscape as a subject for the past twenty-five years. I am motivated now by a desire to scale up—the subject matter would not change; only the scale." Maakestad hopes to create four to six new oil paintings during the nine-month grant period.
The other ArtsAccelerator grant recipients are Ben Butler, Mary Jo Karimnia, Brandon Marshall, and Terri Phillips. Additional information on this program can be found on the ArtsMemphis website, www.artsmemphis.org.

OSULA Announces 2020-21 Scholarship Recipient
Posted in Blog, News
LOS ANGELES (September 12, 2020) – Samuel Dominguez of Downey, Calif., a graduate of Loyola High School of Los Angeles, has been selected to receive The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Los Angeles (OSULA) annual scholarship for the 2020-21 academic year, it was announced today by OSULA President Andre Billups. Dominguez receives a $7,500 scholarship from OSULA towards his first year on the main campus in Columbus, Ohio.
During his high school career, Dominguez was honored by the College Board as an Advanced Placement® Scholar Award winner and graduated from Loyola High with a 3.83 grade point average.
A decorated student-athlete, Dominguez was recognized as football team captain and All-CIF Division IV First Team offensive lineman as a senior, leading Loyola to the Division IV championship game in 2019. After the season, he received the team's Pat Jacobs Award honoring the senior football athlete who has exemplified four years of excellence.
"I am beyond excited to start my journey at THE Ohio State University," says Dominguez. "I chose OSU because of its stellar engineering program, the relationship with the beautiful city of Columbus, the contagious school spirit, and the broad global alumni network. I fell in love as soon as I stepped on campus. I can't wait to get started as a Buckeye and I am extremely grateful to OSULA Alumni Club for this scholarship."
Out of the classroom and off the football field, Dominguez was active in community service, including serving as his football team's ambassador for the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE) program, a national non-profit whose goal is to educate and empower athletes to eliminate racial discrimination, promote social justice, and improve race relations.
"I facilitated weekly meetings with the football team and moderated discussions on the topics of racial inclusion and social justice," Dominguez recalls. "As a result of my involvement, I have become much more aware of how social injustices are still taking place in communities today."
Those efforts helped propel him to recognition by the Morrill Scholarship Program (MSP), Ohio State's premiere diversity/merit scholarship program, rewarding academically talented students who are actively engaged in diversity-based leadership, service and social justice activities. Dominguez will receive the MSP Prominence Scholarship heading into his freshman year, in addition to his scholarship from OSULA.

The Stores section of Multifront is single, central place where you can conveniently manage global-level webstore settings.
Admins will primarily use this interface for creating new Stores, managing global-level and display settings, and eventually Publishing a Store so it's visible to Customers once you've got everything the way you want. And that's not even the half of it.
If you are creating a Store for the first time, check out the Merchant Quickstart Guide to get yourself up and running.
Note: A Store must be published before it will be visible to Customers.
Note: After store details are completed, you may need to associate other areas of Multifront to your new store.
First, add Store Details. Then, "Save" button.
Details can be updated using the "Edit" action.
Store is saved with initial information. Page will now refresh and display additional store settings.
Next, configure additional Store Settings via the "Manage Store" tabs.
During the Add new Store workflow, using "Copy Content Based On" field below Store Alert Setting, admin users can create a Store Based on copied content from the selected store. In the following screen we can observe that below Store Alert Setting, there is an option provided to copy the contents based on store name.
Edit or manage details as needed.
Save progress using the "Save" action. Page will reload with action confirmation.
Copying Store copies all the existing Store Details except the Brand name & Store Name. A prefix text "Copy of" would be added to the store name and would default as the new store name for the recently copied store (For e.g. if Bookstore is the existing store which the user wants to copy then its copy store would have a named copy of Bookstore, if the user decides not to edit it).
Specify the Store Name & Brand Name. Click Save.
The new store is added to the listing.
Select an existing Catalogs to associate to Store. References PIM > Catalogs.
Select an existing Site Themes to associate to Store. References CMS > Site Themes.
Webstore is relaunched using SSL protection. Adds "https://" before URL.
Indicates Customers Review Status for Store. If status is "Published" then Review is displayed in Store.
Select Default Order Status for Customers. After checkout, Default Order Status will be displayed to Customers.
Message can be customize for the particular stores about the availability of the product.
Message can be customize for any particular stores if the product is not available in the inventory.
Message can be customize for when the product is again available in Inventory.
The URL Tab, as you may have guessed by the name, is where Administrators can manage the URL(s) associated with a Store.
Each Store must be associated with a URL, "Is Active" detail set as "Enabled", and Published before it will be visible publically.
Application Define the type of Store you're creating as API, Admin, or Webstore.
Save progress using the "Save" button. The page will reload with action confirmation and redirect to the URL Landing Page.
(Optional) Admins can now use Actions to manage URLs from the URL Landing Page, seen below.
Clears cache for entire application.
Administrators will need to set a User Profile to "Is Default Anonymous Profile" and "Is Default Registered Profile", so at the very least, a Store can have User Profiles associated for registered and unregistered customer to your Webstore.
A User Profile must be created first in the User Profiles section of CMS before it can be associated with a Store.
Existing User Profiles can be associated with Store(s) from the Profiles Tab, under Stores and Reps > Stores.
Administrators can also do some exceptionally helpful things by associating User Profiles to a Store, like creating Profile-specific Catalogs or User-based Pricing.
Generally speaking, the Profiles tab references User Profiles, which are profiles used to associate special attributes with groups of Customers. User Profiles can be associated with unique Promotions and Coupons, Shipping, and/or Payment Methods which are available only to Customers associated with the User Profile.
Click the "Associate Profile" button and select which User Profile to associate.
Indicate if "Default Anonymous" and/or "Default Registered"
Save progress using the "Save" button. The screen will refresh with action confirmation.
Note: If a Customers could be shown multiple Pricing Lists, the List with the highest Precedent value would be displayed--It's like golf, the lowest score beats the higher score.
The Price List tab landing page has two tabs; "Store Based" and "Profile Based". Select a tab based on how prices should be displayed to Customers.
For "Profile Based" pricing, please specify the User Profile to associate a Pricing List with using the "Select Profile" drop-down.
Use the "Associate Price" button to browse unassigned Pricing Lists. Activate the elements you wish to associate and "Save". The page will reload with confirmation of your progress.
Note: To disassociate an associated Pricing list, use the "Delete" actions. Don't worry, you won't permanently delete it.
Products must be associated to a Warehouses before inventory can be tracked.
On the Inventory tab, Administrators can associate unassigned Warehouses with a Webstore Order fulfillment and Inventory tracking purposes. A Default Warehouse must be associated with your Store. Product Inventory levels can be monitored if Multifront knows which Warehouse an Order is being fulfilled from.
You might be wondering, up late at night, "how does Multifront know where my inventory levels are?". Rest assured, Jeff, we're totally not spying on you.
After Inventory is added to a Warehouse, Multifront will subtract the appropriate Inventory Quantity from Stores based on each Orders details. Stores must be associated with a Default Warehouse for Inventory to be tracked.
Multi front tracks remaining Inventory quantity, at the SKU level, for each Warehouse associated with Stores. In this section, Administrators can choose a Default Warehouse for Store Order fulfillment.
Before starting these steps, you will need an unassigned Warehouse with Products associated.
Use the "Save" button to save progress. The page will reload with action confirmation.
The Shipping tab is primarily used to manage the originating shipping address and UPS/FedEx account credentials for a Store.
If your Shipping Origin address is a Warehouse, select the "Use Warehouse Address" checkbox to pass through the Default Warehouse Address.
Also, a Store's Shipping Address is used to determine shipping origin for calculating shipping rates.
Shipping Origin Address Details Enter the address your inventory will ship from.
FedEx and UPS settings Configure your respective account information before enabling FedEx or UPS shipping methods.
The Shipping Methods tab is where Administrators can associate unassigned Shipping Methods with a Store. The Shipping Options are created in another section of Multifront, Shipping.
Once a Shipping Method is associated with a Store, Customers can select the Shipping Method at checkout.
By default, Multifront has FedEx, UPS, and USPS Shipping Types baked in but Administrators can also create their own.
Use the "Associate Shipping Method" button to associate an unassociated Shipping Method with a Store.
Select an unassigned Shipping Method and "Save" progress. The page with reload with action confirmation.
Only unassigned Payment Methods can be seen here.
The Payment Methods tab is where Administrators can associate unassigned Payment Methods with a Store. The Payment Options are created in another section of Multifront, Shipping.
Once a Payment Method is associated with a Store, Customers can select the Payment Method at checkout.
By default, Multifront has four Payment Types: Credit Card, Purchase Order, Paypal Express, and COD. Administrators can manage Merchant Gateway Settings from the Payment Methods section.
To set up different types of taxes Admin needs to enter the required details for every tax.
Taxes created with Admin > Taxes can be associated with Stores via the Taxes tab.
Use the "Associate Tax" button to associate Taxes with Store. Using the "Delete" action, Administrators can remove Taxes from a Store.
Note: Only unassociated Taxes can be associated with Stores.
Shipping and Billing are enabled only for Countries associated with Stores. Multiple Countries can be associated with a Store.
On this tab, Administrators can manage which Countries are associated with.
Use the "Associate Country" button to enable Countries for international shipping and billing. Using the "Delete" action, Administrators can remove Countries associated with a Store.
Stores supports up to four Locales: English, French, German, and Spanish. Administrators can activate/deactivate the locale values for their store and set a default locale using Tools from this tab.

Definition – What is Bitumen Emulsion?
Therefore we can say that a bitumen emulsion is a liquid product consisting of three things, (i.e. water + Emulsion + Bitumen) where droplets of bitumen are suspended in water.
Production – How is it Manufactured?
The production of bitumen emulsion consists of two primary steps.
In the 1st step water is mixed with appropriate emulsifying agent and other chemicals. The type of emulsifier to be used depends upon the ionic nature of the mix.
The 2nd step is the addition of bitumen with the water-emulsifier mix. This is done in a colloidal mill. Depending upon the use, the amount of bitumen to be added with water may range from 40 to 70%. Water-emulsifier mix and bitumen is pumped to a colloidal mill. The colloidal mill breaks the bitumen into tiny droplets. The average diameter of these tiny droplets of bitumen is about 2 micron. Here comes the role of emulsifier. Emulsifier creates a coating of surface charge around the bitumen droplets that helps to keep these tiny particles away from each other. It also helps to keep these particles in a dispersed form.
After completion of the 2nd step, the bitumen emulsion is pumped into storage tank.
Classification – How to Classify Bitumen Emulsion?
There are two different ways to classify bitumen emulsion, as given below.
Depending upon the type of surface charge, bitumen emulsions are primarily classified into the following two types.
In case of an anionic bitumen emulsion, bitumen particles are electro-negatively charged, where as for cat-ionic emulsions, bitumen particles are electro-positively charged. Now days cationic bitumen emulsion are most commonly used.
The choice of bitumen emulsion (i.e. whether anionic or cationic) to be used depends upon the mineral composition of aggregate used for construction. In case of silica rich aggregates, the surface of the aggregates are electro-negatively charged. Therefore a cationic emulsion should be used. This will help better spreading and binding of bitumen with aggregates.
When bitumen emulsions are applied on aggregates, water starts to evaporate causing separation of bitumen from water. And then bitumen spreads on the surface of the aggregate and acts as a binding material and slowly attains its strength.
Depending upon the speed at which water evaporates and bitumen particles separate from water, it is classified into following 3 types.
Note: Here the word "setting" should not mean attainment of strength; rather it means the time taken by the bitumen to separate from water.
In case of rapid setting emulsion, bitumen is intended to break rapidly. Therefore this type of emulsion sets and cures rapidly.
Medium setting emulsions do not break spontaneously when applied on aggregates. But the process of breaking starts when fine dusts of minerals are mixed with aggregate-emulsion mix.
Slow setting emulsions are manufactured by using special type of emulsifier, which makes the setting process very slow. These types of emulsion are relatively stable.
The following factors affect the setting & curing of bitumen emulsion mixes.
Applications – What are the Uses of Bitumen Emulsions?
Emulsions are used in bituminous road construction work. They are especially helpful for maintenance and patch repair works.
Emulsion can be used in wet weather even when it is raining.
Also emulsions have been used in soil stabilization, particularly for stabilization of sands in desert areas.
A rapid setting type emulsion is suitable for surface dressing and penetration macadam type of construction.
Medium setting type is used for premixing with coarse aggregates.
In case of fine aggregates, the surface area of aggregate is more and as a result long duration of time is required to mix the emulsion. Therefore slow setting emulsion is preferred which gives sufficient time for uniform blending of the mix.
What are the Advantages & Limitations of Bitumen Emulsion?
ADVANTAGES – WHY TO USE BITUMEN EMULSIONS?
The strength properties of bitumen are preserved in emulsion mixes since emulsions do not need hot mixing. Generally cold mixing or just slightly warming the ingredients of the emulsion mix are done for construction of pavements.
Emulsions with lower viscosity or thinner consistency improve spreadability and allows better coating of the bitumen on the surface of aggregate.
There is no wastage during laying and storage.
Since emulsions are water based, there is less effect on the environment.
It is the least energy intensive of all construction material: there is no need to heat.
No one type of emulsion is suitable for every work. it depends upon whether the aggregate is acidic or basic in nature..
The setting time may vary depending on the air temperature, wind velocity and type of emulsion.
HOW TO DO UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST OF SOIL?
WHAT ARE THE PROPERTIES OF A GOOD MORTAR?
Hi, I have butumin emulsion for sale (low price), voetstoots as some contains some solids. Tonnage not kg.
Please share kind of filler is suitable with cationic bitumen resin?
2) Which type of bituminous emulsion is generally used for road work, if aggregate is having +ve charge?
i am to use bitumen as my rooftop slab waterproofer. ss1 can be used as the primer. since, the emulsion contains water in it, i have a doubt weather when the water evaporates the emulsion, small halls will be there when bitumen is set. any pointers?
What are acid and base solution form of cationic bitumen emulsion with what dosage?
emulsion bitumen has water already in it..application of emulsion bitumen as a prime coat must be carried out as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
Hello I am a construction chemicals Researcher i want to make a bitumen emulsion cold applied. I am confused about the emulsification when to be added and how much added. I have soft bitumen in paste solid form should i mix it with MTT?
What happen if I use 99% of calcium chloride flakes in preparing the emulsifier mix. Previously, I only used 77% of calcium chloride. Is there any effect on my bitumen emulsion stability. Hope to hear others comment too 🙂 THANK YOU in advance.
Would you be interessted in obtaining Butumin emulsion at very low price for some "experimental" work.
Samples can be arranged free f charge, only transport to be paid.
I am in the Greater Johannesburg area.
what are the benefits of using bitumen emulsion in cold mix?
It is cheaper and safer to produce than solvent base cold applied while giving the same end result.
thats wrong pleae see Is 8887.
After application, does the emulsion get slipery when wet?


Perhaps the two things most people avoid regularly thinking about are aging and financial planning. Aging is inevitable and does not require constant dwelling, but preparing for economic stability as we get older is a necessity – especially with a culture of ever-increasing health-care costs, diminishing and disappearing company-managed pensions and an uncertain future for Social Security benefits. Experts are adamant and vocal about how every person can and should prepare for the finances of aging as early as possible.
Jim Gravgaard, investment officer for Essex Services in Glen Allen, says that one of the most common oversights when preparing for the future is not taking advantage of an employer's retirement plan or not putting enough into the plan. According to a recent study by the Economic Policy Institute, 41 percent of retirees have no retirement savings.
"This puts a huge stress level on their Social Security income and what assets they have been able to save," adds Gravgaard. Another financial challenge for older Americans is not paying off a mortgage by retirement age – this can be a huge draw on a person's or couple's income and/or savings. "Living longer may seem great, but usually complications with aging take a toll on finances as well," he notes.
Health care is another major cost that often gets overlooked when financially planning for retirement. For instance, a study by HealthView Services concluded that a 65-year-old healthy couple could spend over $377,000 in retirement. "The alarming part of this study is that the over $300K does not include the cost of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, etc.," says Gravgaard. For example, according to Genworth, the cost for a 70-year-old Richmond resident who receives long-term home care until age 79 is about $109,000; an assisted living facility is about $185,000; and a nursing home is about $369,000.
People should reduce their debt loads as quickly as possible – again, the biggest item to pay off first is the mortgage.
Start putting money into employer retirement plans as quickly as possible and contribute to your employer's match.
Put off retirement later in order to help pay down debts and have the ability to save more.
"Building wealth is only part of the goal. Protecting it from loss or untimely spend-downs are just as important to retirees," he adds.
A long-term care benefit plan allows policyholders to use any form of life insurance policy to pay for long-term care. In essence, what was a death benefit that would have been paid to the person's survivors becomes a "living benefit" that covers the expenses of the policyholder now.
You can convert a life insurance policy to a long-term benefit plan at any time – you just cannot wait until you are about to move into a nursing home or assisted-living facility to buy long-term care insurance – at that point, it is too late.
The value of the conversion is not limited to the cash value, but is based on the death benefit – that means the policyholder will receive a maximum amount of value toward their long-term care benefit plan.
Marriage makes three suggestions for those considering a Roth IRA: space out the conversion and transfer money over the course of a few years; covert to a Roth IRA between the ages of 59.5 and 74 to maximize your benefit; and start with a Roth 401(k) in the first place if your employer offers it.
However, he also warns that if you are too conservative with your retirement accounts, there is the risk that they will not appreciate quickly enough in order to build your retirement nest egg. Gravgaard concludes that it is very important to always seek advice from a professional, and he highly recommends consulting with a financial adviser to determine the best options in diversifying and planning for your retirement funding.

PODCAST: Seminar Preview - How to "Read" the Body Language of Dangerous People

How to Listen to Podcasts on Your Mobile Phone
Ninety percent of all communication is non-verbal. But if you can't understand what other people are telling you through their body language, you're BLIND to the threats around you.
Body language expert and former British Royal Marines Commando Terry Vaughan provides a preview of his seminar coming up on Feb. 11, 2023, showing you how to "read" the body language of dangerous people so you can spot criminals before they attack and take decisive action to survive.


Losing the News, a new book by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Alex Jones, quickly became the number one priority on my reading list. "Alex's thesis," writes Diane Francis, "is simply that the implosion of the business model for traditional print and broadcast media is creating a vacu um in the type of news gathering, analysis or revelatory investigation which is in the public interest."
We are certainly losing the news in its previous form. Now, the ability to click away changes the reader's behavior. A blogger's specific geography and experience challenge an increasing number of newspaper articles. Not to mention the difference between the advertising models of print and online media.
Alex also distinguishes bloggers from journalists by several abilities among which "bearing witness" to an event and "following up." With this one I will have to disagree. Blogging and social media are all about bearing witness to events that others haven't seen or cannot see, whether the story takes place in a northeastern Bulgarian village or on Park Street, New York.
Bloggers also have the potential to craft follow-up stories. Many writers in the blogosphere are passionate about the issues they cover and have concentrated on specific fields like healthcare, politics and entertainment. Willingly selecting what to write about, they show passion and seek answers. This usually means they will want to follow up.
Yet the concern such thoughts raise in my mind have to do with the source's objectivity. There is a lot more space for skewed opinions and biased blog articles. There is a lot more space for moderation of comments. There is a less developed (or more likely nonexistent) ethics system in the blogosphere.


Loop head according to the Irish Times. Seems like a relaxing pints-and-mussels-chat-with-the-locals type of place.There seems to be a big groundswell of back to basics in tourism. I heard on the radio yesterday that on average you spend 3 times as much going abroad on holiday than if you stayed at home. I hope this trend continues as places along the western seabird and away from the big cities need some sort of stimulus.
Sorry, I couldn't help it. I agree with the post completely.
Well Lonely Planet has said Cork City is among the 10 best cities in the world to visit and the BBC claim Cork is a greater destination than Dublin. How bad says you.
Both reviews written by people who clearly havent had prolonged exposure to carkies.
Ireland is a bit ropey when it comes to kids activities, cycling isn't safe unless you stay on an Island and the place isn't exactly bending under the weight of high quality kids activities in the tourist sense. And then we have the fact that eating out is still nose bleedingly expensive. Then there is the weather.
Love west Clare. A real gem.
Anywhere that isn't this office, and where I am not surrounded by these boring, perspectiveless (if there is such a word) drones.
Dingle Peninsula or West Cork have to be better. Bantry, Schull, Clonakilty.. take your pick.
and all only a couple of hours from Dublin which is a big advantage.
This is my biggest gripe with this country. Great place to travel around with a partner or a bunch of mates but there really is very little in the way of kids activities and what is available is poorly run, poorly maintained and incredibly expensive.
I'd love to be proven wrong. Suggestions?
I really can't stand them, 'orebel.
"Have you a kids' menu?"
"Yes, we have sausages and chips, chicken nuggets and chips, chips and sausages, and chips and chicken nuggets."
In fairness it all is relative to what you are seeking.
Finally, you don't holiday in Ireland if the weather is your primary consideration but if you dress appropriately to the conditions (as you will notice most foreign tourists doing) then if you happen to get fine sunny weather it's a bonus.
Reminds me of Luka Blooms lovely song "Thank you for bringing me here". One to listen to for those that say holidays in Ireland is a drag for kids.


What's the big deal? What's the Difference?
There's never a time I stand before an audience; never a time I walk into a patient's room; never a time I walk into a facility; never a time when I'm one-on-one with a person and not with all of my heart believe that I'm the absolute BEST PERSON to be there! I believe it with all my might, strength, heart, my whole life–I Believe it!
As much as I Believe it with my whole Being. . .I KNOW it's not true. . . .
And that, that's my greatest source of motivation every day, in every situation.
Unblinkingly, may IT ever be so!

Émile Girardeau (12 de octubre de 1882 - 7 de diciembre de 1970) fue un ingeniero francés, conocido por ser la primera persona en patentar el sistema original de frecuencias que se usa y se conoce hoy como radar.

Semblanza
Girardeau nació en 1882 en Luçon, (el Vandea). Alumno de la École polytechnique (Escuela Politécnica) (1902-1908), se convirtió en Instructor de la École nationale des ponts et chaussées (Escuela Nacional de Puentes y Carreteras). Hacia 1910, junto a Joseph Béthenod, estableció la primera conexión  radiotelegráfica en las colonias tropicales francesas, enlazando Brazzaville con Loango. Esta experiencia le sirvió de punto de partida para organizar los servicios internacionales de la Compañía Radioeléctrica Francesa a partir de 1914.

En 1919, tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, fue nombrado Caballero de la Legión de Honor por sus méritos de guerra. Puso en marcha la idea de la creación de una empresa de servicios públicos dedicada a la emisión radiofónica de información y música en 1922, y ese mismo año contribuyó a establecer la primera estación de radio privada de Francia, que con el nombre de RADIOLA, a finales de marzo de 1929 se convirtió en Radio París. En 1931, fue ascendido a Comandante de la Legión de Honor.

En el año 1934 dirigió el equipo que desarrolló el primer sistema de radar en Francia, y cinco años después, en 1939, construyó con Maurice Ponte las instalaciones de radar para la defensa antiaérea de París, que fueron destruidas en junio de 1940. Después de la caída de Francia frente a Alemania al comienzo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Girardeau permaneció en París, obteniendo información para las fuerzas clandestinas de la Francia Libre.

En 1944, poco antes del Desembarco de Normandía, fue el encargado de preparar clandestinamente el restablecimiento de las comunicaciones de radio en Francia. Elegido miembro de la Academia Naval Francesa en 1945, se convirtió en miembro de la Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas en 1954.

Girardeau murió en París en 1970, a los 88 años de edad.

Reconocimientos
 Girardeau fue nombrado Comandante de la Legión de Honor en 1931.
 La Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas otorga anualmente el Premio Émile Girardeau "por un trabajo o disertación relacionados con la economía o la sociología".

Can't Understand Why Microsoft Would Buy LinkedIn For $35B? Read This!
Last week Microsoft sprang a cool $A35 billion for the professional networking site LinkedIn, leaving many to ask the big question, "Why would anyone do that?" Here, Mark Jones (pictured below), CEO at Sydney's Filtered Media attempts to make sense of the whole thing…
Remember when former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer became a sweaty viral web celebrity?
Somewhere in the mid-2000s a video surfaced showing Steve stomping across a stage in a sweat-soaked shirt chanting "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!" It's compelling stuff, and the interwebs duly rewarded him with dance track remixes.
Then we had screaming, hyped-up Steve. The Monkey Boy dance is pure internet gold.
Bizarrely, those images came to mind last week while I sifted through news of Microsoft's $US26.2 billion planned purchase of LinkedIn.
It struck me there's very little chance you'll see Microsoft's present CEO Satya Nadella — or LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, for that matter — doing anything remotely as amusing as Steve Ballmer's antics.
Where's all that gone? Silicon Valley's mashup world of tech/cloud/digital/disruption/productivity is at risk of being a bit too earnest these days. Everyone's busy chasing the next billion users, solving global problems, saving the environment, and talking ad nauseam about Millennials.
All worthy causes, it must be said. But if there's one thing Steve Ballmer taught us, it's that a touch of crazy goes a long way and won't be forgotten in a hurry. We might laugh or ridicule this stuff, but being remembered is every storyteller's primary goal. It matters that when big news events like this tick around we inevitably tune in to leaders, to hear their stories and make sense of things.
Everything they say and do is lined up against the plumbline of integrity. Leaders like the CEOs at Microsoft and LinkedIn are hoping we remember their stories.
That dynamic is exactly what's going on when you flick through the reams of coverage about the deal. Based on what we know about their mission, does the acquisition make sense?
Well, the best way to make that call in any situation like this is to compare the story being told by the CEOs to the mission statements of their organisations.
There's arguably no better insight into a company's purpose than its mission statement because these things are refined and debated to within an inch of their lives before going public.
I call this the integrity test.
The new story first.
So what are Microsoft and LinkedIn telling us about the deal?
The story goes that Microsoft's been thinking about this for a long time. Then one day during acquisition negotiations Satya and Jeff get talking. They start imagining new things that could be done if they combined the two companies.
This video on Microsoft's developer content portal, Channel 9, gives you a short summary.
"What is it that is most needed in today's world?" Satya asks. "Productivity and communication tools.
"Think about taking that and connecting it with the professional network [LinkedIn] and really having that entirety of what is your professional life being enhanced, more empowered, where you are acquiring more skills, being more successful in your current job and finding a greater, bigger next job. That's that vision."
In other words, Office 365 integration with LinkedIn will make you more productive and successful in your current job, and help you get the next one.
I'm going to try to suspend judgement on whether that's a good thing for a moment. Presumably you'll be given the power to turn off any annoying notifications or intrusions, for example. Clippy, anyone?
The mission.
Next, let's look at the mission statements of both organisations.
Here's Microsoft: "To enable people and businesses throughout the world to realise their full potential."
LinkedIn's mission statement echoes that of its new master: "to connect the world's professionals to make them more productive and successful."
Pretty similar, right? Both companies want to help you do things at work. Preferably faster, better and with a greater sense of satisfaction (another way of talking about productivity). So on this score alone, it makes sense that Microsoft and LinkedIn would join forces. Their mission statements align and support Satya and Jeff's story.
Has the story passed the integrity test? Check.
The competition.
What, then, could we discover if we take a quick look at the other tech giants? After all, the pundits are saying that ulterior motives are at play. Microsoft wants to be like Facebook, or Google, or something.
Google's mission is "to organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
Facebook's mission is "to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected."
In contrast to Microsoft and LinkedIn, these two companies offer lofty, aspirational visions that speak to a higher order of things. They're less concerned with getting stuff done, instead pointing to mysterious, almost other-worldly issues that transcend the pragmatic realities of sitting at a desk to earn a living.
Exactly how do you organise the world's information, and what exactly does an open and connected world look like? I don't know, but gee, I wouldn't mind finding out.
Making sense.
So there we have it. Two pragmatic mission statements, and two mysterious visions of the future. Now you're probably wondering which ones are are better.
Well, it isn't that easy. Each one is unique and reflects the intent of that organisation. If Microsoft told us it was trying to organise the world's information and make it universally accessible, for example, we wouldn't believe it. Bing is a decent search engine, but it's far from a category leader — which I presume makes it harder to organise the world.
No, this is a story about being consistent and acting with integrity. Are your words consistent with your brand, your mission, and making a giant bet when you see an opportunity?
In the case of Microsoft and LinkedIn, the answer's yes. Aside from the enormous price tag, the deal makes sense when we look at the underlying missions. Does that mean they should try and emulate Google or Facebook?
But I wouldn't complain if they all gave us a bit more spark.
Steve's crazy videos rounded out an entertaining era. Sun's CEO Scott McNealy could get headlines with outrageous claims about the end of privacy as we know it, and Oracle boss CEO Larry Ellison was just plain scary.
Then we had the late great Steve Jobs. His presentations were entertainment personified.
Which, now that I think about it, could be part of Apple's problem today. Without Jobs it lacks a compelling story about the future. Check out the mission statement: "Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store."
A true, consistent and worthy statement. Also, quite boring. Not like the other Steve at Microsoft. Now there's a story worth remembering.

West Adams in 1906 was the preferred address for the elite. This home was built for James T. Fitzgerald, the music-store mogul. He hired one of California's best-known architects, Joseph Cather Newsom to design this showcase home. The home is located at the corner of Adams Blvd. and Arlington Ave. Elegant Manor West Adams Los Angeles CA. Los Angeles landmark home.
Living space: 6,665 sq. ft.
Lot Area: 9,016 sq. ft.
Joseph Cather Newsom was known for his graceful lines and whimsical styles. Elegant Manor is a 15-room residential home combining Italian Gothic and Queen Anne style. Exterior has curling wooden ornamentation and tranquil gothic arch interior. Huge brick chimney, cellar, attic, octagonal sunken den with fireplace and vaulted ceilings. Newsom style traveled from West Adams to Hancock Park and Beverly Hills, CA.
Over time the home was owned by a group of vaudeville and circus performers and served as a rest home for actors. In 1977 it was purchased, Arlillian Moody. Moody turned the home into a community center, dress shop, catering operation and halfway house. While Moody provided catering for the cast of Soul Train. Arlillian died in 2001 and home fell into disrepair. Currently, this once elegant home would be considered a major fixer-upper needs complete renovation.
West Adams real estate history. West Adams one hundred years ago was the cat meow. One hundred years ago West Adams was considered a suburb. The automobile allows residences to migrate west. Prestigious neighborhoods extended to Miracle Mile, Windsor Square, Hancock Park and beyond. This home showcases the bygone architecture of the area.

Q: Dynamically adding items to listview in android I am making an android application that needs to add items to a dynamic ListView. How can I do this? I wish to add the item once the "AddItemToListViewButton" is pressed. I am trying to use the code below, but however, it's not working. How can I fix/make this happen? My code:
public class NotesActivity extends ListActivity implements OnClickListener {

    List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();
    EditText AddItemToListViewEditText;
    Button AddItemToListView, AddItemToListViewButton;
    LinearLayout AddItemToListViewLinearLayout;
    static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] {
      "Matte på A1 med Ole", "Engelsk på klasserommet", "Film på A1 etter friminuttet"
      };

   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.notes);
    setListAdapter((ListAdapter) new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, COUNTRIES));

    ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
          int position, long id) {
        // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Note: " + ((TextView) view).getText(),
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
    });
  }
    @Override
   public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu meny) {
      MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.listviewmenubuttons, meny);
      return true;
   }
    @Override
   public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
      switch(item.getItemId()) {
      case R.id.AddItemToListView:
        AddItemToListViewEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.AddItemToListViewEditText);
        AddItemToListViewButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.AddItemToListViewButton);
        AddItemToListViewLinearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.AddItemToListViewLinearLayout);
        AddItemToListViewButton.setOnClickListener(this);
        AddItemToListViewLinearLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        break;
        }
    return true;
}
   public void onClick(View src) {
      switch(src.getId()) {
      case R.id.AddItemToListViewButton:
        myList.add("Hello");
        myList.add("world");
        System.out.println("The list contains " +
           myList.size() + "elements, and " +
           "the first is " + myList.get(0));
        AddItemToListViewLinearLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        break;
    }
}
}

A: Your ListActivity has a ListView element that is based on an ArrayAdapter<String> containing a string array named COUNTRIES. In your onClick() method you add strings to an ArrayList<String>(myList) but your ListView adapter doesn't know about it and that you try to add it to your list(well this is what i think you are trying to do). So :
-in your myList add the current content of your COUNTRIES string array:
myList.add("Matte på A1 med Ole");//and the other strings from COUNTRIES

-set the adapter to point to the myList:
setListAdapter((ListAdapter) new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, myList));

-in your onClick() method write:
public void onClick(View src) {
    switch(src.getId()) {
    case R.id.AddItemToListViewButton:
        myList.add("Hello");
        myList.add("world");
        ((ArrayAdapter)getListView().getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
        AddItemToListViewLinearLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        break;
    }
}

A: Try to reload the list or maybe just
ListAdapter notifyDataSetChanged();

A: u want to need this in click event...
((ArrayAdapter)getListView().getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
