50 years of the best of British crafts. Margot Coatts
wishes the CAA many happy returns
In the scheme of things visual over the last 50 years, the crafts have come pretty low down the scale. Gradually, imperceptibly almost, all that has changed. The work of craft makers, designer-makers, or what you will, is in every fashionable location and magazine. In London, the single most active gallery, dedicated to its subject for half a century now, is Contemporary Applied Arts (the CAA) in Percy Street. Its new exhibition of useful pots by six ceramicists, opens today.
The CAA is a smart, efficient and vital gallery. Its remit, as a registered charity, is to promote the best of British craft; its position is authoritative, yet not radical.
It started life in 1948 as the Crafts Centre of Great Britain in Hay Hill, a rat-run for fast traffic in Mayfair. This was two decades before the body that turned into the Crafts Council was founded, and the Centre was kick-started by a hefty capital grant from the Board of Trade. Then, as now, it was governed by a council, which at that point was drawn from the membership of five different craft societies, led by the wood-engraver John Farleigh. Wood-engraving and lithography were counted among the "fine crafts" in those days and were featured equally with pottery, furniture, books and weaving.
The early Fifties was a time of artistic flux and unquenchable optimism, but relatively little variety in the crafts. Although exhibitors included such luminaries as the potters Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew, and furniture- makers Edward Barnsley and David Pye, there was a shortage of good quality work for exhibition.
Not until the later Fifties, when the "new" jewellers such as Gerda Flockinger began to emerge, and woven textiles moved forward a generation, did the scope for galleries and collectors broaden. Peter Collingwood and Barbara Sawyer, for instance, showed experimental rugs, "hangings" and open-weave placemats. Today, the exhibitions at Hay Hill appear stern and worthy, full of oak, sisal and stoneware, but they were a must for devotees of architecture and design who shopped at Heal's and followed modern jazz.
In the mid-Sixties, the Craft Centre moved to Earlham Street in Covent Garden; it underwent several changes of administration and funding, was re-christened the British Crafts Centre, and was governed by a wise and resourceful chairman, Graham Hughes. Hughes was then Art Director of Goldsmiths' Hall, and introduced Alan Irvine, an architect, and the Hall's curator/exhibition organiser, John Houston. Together they converted a large, lock-up "garage", previously used to store barrows from the vegetable market, into a West End gallery, albeit with a cobble-stone floor. Houston recalls: "It was the era when, for people with versatile artistic skills, anything was possible."
The exhibitions Hughes and his colleagues devised were far from spartan: Goldsmiths loaned large pyramidal and hexagonal glass showcases with slub- silk linings and exterior pendant lights. In the Sixties they contained exhibitions of glass by Sam Herman or porcelain by Victor Margrie, and in the Seventies, jewellery by Wendy Ramshaw and David Watkins or bone china by Glenys Barton and Jacqueline Poncelet. Less delicate or valuable items were displayed on grey Formica-topped tables, while hairy textiles hung on the walls.
Exhibitions in all media came thick and fast, but ceramics have always been high on the agenda. From abroad came the occasional loan exhibition. The crafts gained in popularity, due in part to the publicity they received from design journalists such as Fiona MacCarthy, Barty Phillips and Edwin Mullins.
Not until the mid Eighties, under the directorship of Tatjana Marsden, did the British Crafts Centre regain some of its original focus. The gallery held solo shows of leading figures as well as mixed exhibitions, alternating artefacts by makers at the cutting edge with those with a more traditional message. In January 1987 the name was changed to Contemporary Applied Arts.
From the early Seventies until 1996, Contemporary Applied Arts received funding annually through the Crafts Advisory Committee, or the Crafts Council. In 1996, this support was axed and the gallery now exists on income from retail turnover, periodic sponsorship from City livery companies or the business sector, and memberships fees.
The current director, Mary la Trobe Bateman took over in 1994, after a career in interior design and with first-hand understanding of the craft person's lot, for she is married to the distinguished furniture-maker Richard la Trobe Bateman.
On joining CAA she found a desperate financial situation: "When I first arrived I had to even mend the cash till myself - flames would lick out and we had no money to employ an electrician." She decided to look for alternative accommodation and, after scouring the West End, found the former Janet Fitch shop at 2 Percy Street, Fitzrovia - central but not too expensive.
Her vision was carried forward by the architects Allies and Morrison, who designed a deep, well-lit space, visible from the street. It provides for three kinds of operation: a peaceful upper gallery reached by a ramp, a reception area for solo displays, and a basement shop which is invitingly served by wide steps on which robust items are shown. The staircase wall has a dramatic five-metre drop, always occupied by work from a textile artist.
After moving in, La Trobe Bateman gradually overhauled her staff, creating four special-subject managers. She sees the job before them as a fostering as well as a retailing role: "Young people need quite a lot of advice in pricing, and through the `focus' showcases, we encourage them to make innovative work, then introduce them to the buyers."
La Trobe Bateman has further ideas, but for the moment realises she must encourage the consumer to enjoy the widest possible range of quality crafts. Followers are growing in number: "People want special objects around them."
The current exhibition assembles the cream of Britain's useful pots. In the last five years, Edmund de Waal and Rupert Spira, who are still in their thirties, have come to rapid prominence. The popularity of their work was due initially to their direct, minimal approach to design, sleek uncrafty materials and, it must be said, affordable prices. Now, both are producing more refined pots which are a match for the more experienced exhibitors: Walter Keeler, Joanna Constantinidis, Takeshi Yasuda and Julian Stair.
All make plain pots, usually glazed in monochrome and quietly beautiful; it is not strictly necessary to handle them but the fun increases if you do. Take Yasuda's creamware jugs: they have a raised thumb tab, a pinched lip and the occasional dent or dimple, made with a deftness seen in fresh crusty bread. Creamware of such charm has not been made in Britain for nearly two centuries and now Keeler has abandoned his famous saltglazed stoneware in favour of "twiggy" creamware jugs.
Intellectual games with form can often be just that, but here they are laced with humanism. Julian Stair's oval teapots - in white porcelain or red stoneware - have seven joined elements, plus a twisted wistaria- stem handle; they combine constructing in clay with throwing on the wheel, expanding the shapes into what Stair calls "soft geometry".
Throwing is the basis of all six potters' work and it is the impetus which renders both making and using the pots a fascinating experience. Taking these apparently simple matters seriously, by highlighting them in the normally passive arena of the gallery or the museum, is an indicator of a change in attitude to pots destined predominantly for the domestic environment. In Edmund de Waal's words: "If they don't demand to be picked up, then they are not working."
`Contemporary Pots' is one of a series of exhibitions to celebrate Contemporary Applied Arts' 50th year; it runs 7 August to 19 September at 2 Percy Street, London WC1 (0171-436 2344)

Use of Equipment:
- YMCA provides kick-boards, pull boys, swim paddles, and deep water aerobics equipment for member and guest use. Please do not use equipment from bins labeled "class use only."
- Coast Guard-approved life jackets are available in a variety of sizes.
- A limited number of goggles are available for swimmers to borrow; just ask a lifeguard.
- Members are welcome to bring their own pool toys, but inflatable rafts/rings are prohibited.
- Due to higher risk of injury, the weighted "torpedo" toys are not permitted in the pool.
Circle Swim
- Circle swimming is utilized to accommodate three or more swimmers using the whole lane: down and back on the right side of the lane. Swimmers swim in a counterclockwise direction within the lane, always staying on the right side of the lane, similar to cars on a road.
- Look at the speed of the swimmers in the lanes and select a lane that is most appropriate for you, then notify the other swimmers in that lane that you would like to join them.
- To avoid collisions, only begin swimming when the other swimmers in the lane have been made aware of your presence. The best method is to get in the water and wait at the wall until the other swimmers come to you.
- If you need to pass in your lane, move up to the swimmer and tap his/her foot. It's inappropriate to grab or pull the person, but a tap is a clear indication of your presence and intent to pass. To avoid collisions, a pass must be initiated in time to overtake the slower swimmer before the wall.
- If you stop at the wall for any reason, move into the corner of the lane so that other swimmers have room to turn.
Youth Swim Policy
To ensure the safety of all aquatic participants, the YMCA policy requires that all youth under the age of 7 must have a parent in the water at all times.
Youth ages 7 -11 must meet one of the following requirements to enter the pool:
- Pass swim test and have swim bracelet on.
- Wear properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved PFD (lifejacket) and remain within an arm's length of an adult while in a PFD
- Remain within an arm's length of an adult if not in a PFD/have not passed the swim test. Lifeguards reserve the right to require children who do not pass a swim test to wear a flotation device.
About the Swim Tests
Swim tests will be given by a lifeguard at the top and bottom of each hour between these times:
- 6:00 - 8:00 pm, Monday - Friday
- 12:00 Noon - 6:00 pm, Saturday
- 10:00 am - 6:00 pm, Sunday
Swim Test Requirements
- Jumping into deep water and returning to the side.
- Treading water for 1 minute without touching the side or bottom of the pool. This means keeping your head above water while staying in one place.
- Swimming the length of the pool using freestyle stroke. Swimmer must have their face in the water and may not touch the bottom or the side of the pool!
- A green bracelet signifies that the swimmer has passed the swim test.

Barbara Davies wrote this article about her trip to the Kids in Museums award ceremony for the Totnes County High School Reunion Association Newsletter 2014.
Barbara (second from left) is a much valued volunteer at the Museum.
"Last September I was very honoured to be asked to be one of the representatives of the Brixham Heritage Museum at the Sunday Telegraph Awards ceremony. For the second year running our museum was in the top six of their Family Friendly Museum – Kids in Museum list. We left Paignton at 5.30 a.m. on the London coach and arrived at Victoria coach station just in time for coffee. It was only a short walk to the Sunday Telegraph office, where we were greeted most warmly and were able to meet the other finalists and some previous winners of the award. When it was time for the formalities to begin, the six finalists were listed in alphabetical order and we were told that because it had been so difficult to choose, for the first time ever there were two winners. The first museum was The Horniman, in London and my heart sank! (I thought – alphabetical order – B comes before H – we've had it for this year.) The second winner was Brixham Heritage Museum. We had done it! We had to make acceptance speeches of course, whereupon my mind went totally blank and I think that I waffled my way through something. (Nothing new there then)! I know I was quite emotional and not just because I shook hands with Philip Mould from the Antiques Roadshow who presented the awards. After a buffet lunch we were shown round the Telegraph offices and then it was time to leave for home. Our coach left Victoria at 4.30 p.m. and due to diversions and heavy traffic, it was 6.30 p.m. before we reached Gatwick. Instead of getting home at 10.00 p.m. it was 11.15 p.m. before we could get in the car for Brixham, home and bed after a very long but enjoyable day."

Foreign investors are helping to drive a strong increase in traffic for Homely as it continues to challenge the industry's two major portals.
Homely said it is on track to record 4 million visits in 2015, up from 2 million in 2014.
Almost 25 per cent of website visitors are based overseas, with many looking for suburb-based content such as school details, safety information and street reviews, according to Homely.
Chief executive Jason Spencer said Homely is encouraged by its growth as it positions itself as an alternative to REA Group and Domain Group.
"We know that consumers have a habit of using the established portals and it takes time to break that," Mr Spencer said.
"It's a long game and one that we are ready for. We spent seven years in our previous business, StreetAdvisor.com.au, collecting over half a million street and suburb reviews from all around Australia, so we are prepared for the challenge ahead."
Mr Spencer said Homely has recently switched its focus to growing its consumer base through billboards, direct mail and digital campaigns.
To continue this push, Homely has appointed Marty Stanowich as head of growth. Mr Stanowich has almost 20 years' experience growing and marketing technology companies.
Homely claims to have signed up 90 per cent of Australia's real estate agents.

Red ceramics were produced at 750°C by mixing reddish yellow kaolinite clay from Marom (West Region of Cameroon) with waste glass (percentage ranging between 0 and 15% mass). Depending on the nature of the materials, kaolinite clay, waste glass and ceramics were characterized by determination of chemical and mineralogical compositions, linear shrinkage, water absorption, flexural strength and variation of color of fired samples. Thermal analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were done as well. The final color of ceramics was red, water absorption varied between 17.40 and 13.70%, linear shrinkage ranged between 0.70 and 1.20% and flexural strength was between 5.30 and 8.10 MPa. These results showed that mixing kaolinite clay with waste glass is an interesting process to get red ceramics destined for red bricks or roofing tiles at 750°C.
KeywordsKaolinite clay Waste glass Mixtures Red ceramics
Since millennia, people have been using clay products in various forms such as earth blocks, fired bricks, roofing tiles for construction and other related uses. These materials are important to our daily life with respect to their properties which enable human beings to construct buildings all around the world according to their mechanical strength, durability, water absorption or chemical resistance (Aubert et al. 2013). Sub-Saharan Africa countries have potential sources of clay deposits for which kaolinite is generally the main mineral associated among other with quartz, goethite, hematite, anatase and alkaline oxides (Yakoubi et al. 2006; Traoré et al. 2007). These last oxides require low temperature to melt and act as binders which link particles of clay during the sintering process. However clays with low alkaline oxide and great amount of iron oxide require high temperature for maturation so as to get suitable ceramic products (Aliprandi 1979; Sei et al. 2004; Elimbi et al. 2014). It is an appeal to reduce energy consumption and to protect our environment for sustainable development (Oti and Kinuthia 2012; Sultana et al. 2015). The world over, treatment and management of wastes is crucial (Suzuki and Tanaka 1997; Sultana et al. 2015). Studies referring to addition of low quantity of certain types of waste to clays in order to manufacture reliable ceramic products such as fired bricks remain of date (Zhang 2013). Waste glass must receive careful attention for environmental issues according to their non-biodegradable nature and can be recycling into new items. Waste glass can be utilized as flux to replace common fluxes such as feldspar or other mineral fluxes to save energy in ceramic manufacturing process (Bragança and Bergmann 2004; Rozenstrauha et al. 2006; Raimondo et al. 2007; Rambaldi et al. 2007; Andreola et al. 2008; Dondi et al. 2009; Djangang et al. 2014).
The present study focused on determination of physical characteristics (such as linear shrinkage, water absorption, variation of color) and flexural strength of ceramics obtained at 750°C using waste glass and reddish yellow colored kaolinite clay whose composition contains high mass percentage of iron oxide and low mass percentage of alkaline oxides. However, waste glass is abundant and available especially in urban zones as consequence of daily activities. In spite of this, in many African countries and particularly in Cameroon, there is not always specialized industries in charge of collecting, storing and reusing of waste materials, while it can provide added economical benefits if waste glass can be converted to useful materials and be recycled (Rambaldi et al. 2007; Djangang et al. 2014). Hence this can make waste glass potential secondary input for traditional ceramics production. Such formulations are typically used to manufacture building materials such as fired bricks or roofing tiles. Clays are very common raw materials of such products and glass addition is the opportunity to reuse waste glass to lower maturation temperature in order to reduce the cost of production of these ceramic products in economic plan.
Materials and experimental methods
The studied clay material labeled as K was collected from the area of Marom (West Region of Cameroon) which is located in the central domain of the PanAfrican belt of Cameroon (Nzenti et al. 1998; Ganwa et al. 2008). This area is composed of gneisses and granites partly capped by volcanic rocks of tertiary age from the "Cameroon Volcanic Line". Geology formations of the Maron area are mainly mylonites of granite compositions and clay minerals that were probably developed thanks to the strong mylonitization of the rocks that facilitated circulations of superficial waters and thus the strong alteration of granitic rocks. Once collected, blocks of reddish yellow colored clay sample were first cured at room temperature for 2 weeks then dried at 105°C for 48 h. The dried blocks were crushed and then ground in a ball mill and the resulted powder was sifted using an 80 µm mesh sieve. Colorless waste glass bottles collected from garbage cans, were broken into pieces, washed and dried at 105°C. The resulted pieces were crushed then sieved via an 80 µm mesh sieve to get colorless glass powder which was labeled as V.
Experimental methods
Four types of mixtures denoted as KV0, KV1, KV2 and KV3 were elaborated between powders of K and V according to mass compositions of Additional file 1: Table S1. To get a mixture, powders of K and V were homogenized in distilled water in order to get a slurry which was kept at the ambient atmosphere of the laboratory for 24 h. The mixture was completely oven-dried at 110°C for 72 h then crushed and sieved using an 80 µm sieve. For each type of mixture, two kinds of test samples were produced by extrusion: parallelepiped (82 mm × 42 mm × 9 mm) and cylindrical (13 mm diameter and 9 mm height). The obtained test specimens were cured for 48 h at ambient temperature of laboratory, oven-dried at 110°C for 48 h then fired in a kiln (Nabertherm, model LH 60/40) at 750°C at the rate of 5°C/min for two hours. The firing temperature of 750°C was chosen as a result of preliminary test which showed that the used glass powder started to melt around 700°C. The chemical analysis was carried out by Inductive Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry via a Perkin Elmer-Optima 7000DV device. The crystalline phases were determined by X-ray diffraction using a Philip PW 3050/60 diffractometer which operated by reflection of Kα1 radiation of Copper. Thermal analysis were performed thanks to a NETZSCH STA-449F3 (TG and DTA) operating at the rate of 20°C/min and an Adamel-Lomargy model DM-15 (dilatometry) which operated at the speed of 5°C/min. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed with the aid of a Bruker Alpha-P, operating in absorbance mode. The variation of color of fired products versus temperature was examined using the Munsell Soil Color Charts (2000). Linear shrinkage was determined on parallelepiped fired test specimens thanks to a caliper (ROCH France, Patented S.G.D.G.) and water absorption was carried out on cylindrical fired test specimens using NF-P-18-554 standard (Norme Française 1979). Flexural strength was performed according to EN-100 standard (Norme Européenne 1982) on parallelepiped fired test specimens using an electro-hydraulic press (M & O, type 11.50, and No 21) operating at an average rate of 3 mm/min.

Physical and mechanical properties
Red ceramics were produced by heating (750°C) samples of mixtures of reddish yellow colored kaolinite clay with waste glass (percentage ranging between 0 and 15% mass). The chemical analysis of the clay revealed both low content of alkaline oxides and rich amount of ferrous oxide. The mineralogical characterization of the clay revealed the presence of minerals such as kaolinite, quartz α, rutile, lepidocrocite and others unconfirmed phases attributed particularly to organic matter as confirmed by thermal analysis. Waste glass can be considered as potential fluxing additive that can substitute feldspars in terra cotta for low heating temperature production. Hence increasing the mass percentage of waste glass in mixtures with kaolinite clay leads to fired products whose linear shrinkage and flexural strength increase while there is decrease of water absorption. This is attributed to the densification of samples via the viscous flow mechanism induced by a vitreous phase brought about by the fusion of waste glass. The obtained results show that mixing waste glass with poorly alkaline oxide and abundant ferrous oxide kaolinite clay content is an interesting process to get red ceramics destined for the making of bricks or roofing tiles at 750°C.

When purchasing watches, no one is questioned with how to wear watches, actually. This appears to be logical and rational. Nevertheless, the simplest things happen to be complicated sometimes. Everything is made from details and details sometimes mean far more than the whole. People who really wander how to wear watches properly exist and they are really concerned in this issue.
The Cuban leader Fidel Castro, a revolutionary Che Gevara, politicians Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton, writers Somerset Maugham and Mark Twain, the actor and the political figure Arnold Schwarzenegger – these names are well-known and these figures are best known to the world for their political, social, literary and other achievements. Moreover, the abovementioned people highly esteem cigar smoking and, thus, they come as people who own the greatest number of tools and accessories so requisite for this leisurely process and among others there are cigar lighters.
In the light of a variety and availability of glass items, glass ware is still appreciated by plenty people, especially when it comes to cut glass. The cut glass produces a long, lingering and musical tune when you put your finger at the cut-glass edge. So, in Japan the craftsmen make unique musical instruments. A crystal violin, completely transparent, is estimated for fifty thousand USD. Crystal glass tableware is not so much expensive though it is able to produce the charming, unique and so brittle music providing it is properly cared.
From the
time immemorial jewels symbolized prosperity and power. Only persons vested with power afforded to
wear ringstones, and whereas predominantly men were vested with such power,
this jewel became exclusively their prerogative. A ringstone in gold or silver
was not only just jewelry; it described belonging of the owner to the upper
class. At that time the jewelry looked very simple and neat. Imprint of the seal
ring affixed to documents and securities attested the will of the ring owner
while proving the identity and serving as facsimile.
It was
first in ancient Rome when rings and signet rings became so popular. The Roman
men practiced wearing at once several rings and signet rings from gold and
precious stones.
In Christianity
men's rings are also becoming more and more fashionable. Among them the most popular were «Fisherman's
Rings». Such was the name for papal rings attesting his status as the Vicar of
Peter in the world. The Popes caused to make their rings of various materials, as
lead, bronze, and later on from gold with Apostolic Arms - crossed keys or Triple
Crown. And every such ring was very unique. The imprint of such a ring attested
the authenticity of documents of the Roman Curia, and was disposed just after a
new Pope was elected. For Meritorious
Services copies of Roman seal rings were gifted to pilgrims and vergers of
Catholic churches.
served as a pass to clandestine meetings of monasterial order, such as the
Order of Knights Templars, Jesuits, Mason whose secrets have not been disclosed
yet. Mason rings with religious symbols were of special interest. The Masons
used to wear bizarre cast-iron seal rings with the imprint of skull and
crossbones (dead's head).
Also the
Muslims endowed their rings with cornelian of religious significance, since Mohammed,
the Prophet used to wear such rings with this only stone. The true believers
consider that «the one, who has a cornelian in the ring, will always live in
prosperity and joy».
qualities were attributed to the ring with turquoise. They believed that this
ringstone-talisman brings wealth to its owner.
There are
numerous myths about the rings. In the famous «The Nibelungen Saga» a young
warrior Siegfried becomes the owner of the ring that provides power over the
gold but draws curses to its owner. In the East it is much more comfortable to
call the jinn and Almighty Spirit to fulfill any wish with the help of such
magic ring. The well-known ringstone of
the Biblical Solomon granted power and health to a human being. And in the
trilogy of Tolkien «The Lord of the Ring» the stumbling block is a smooth
golden ring that has a power to conquer and enslave the whole world.
Yet, the
most popular men's ring among the women is a «wedding ring» that does not
differ with special involution. Over many centuries to come it hardly changed from
the times of Ancient Egypt where people used to wear the ring on the fourth
finger of the left hand.
The men's
fingerings and seal rings are still in vogue nowadays. Solid rings are worn on
the little finger, as a rule; fingerings and seal rings - on the second and
fourth fingers. So popular and favorite are the rings of yellow or white color
with traces of transparent, green, blue or black shades styled in constructivism.
Many men cannot help decorating the fingering with their initials for the sake
of remembering their names for ever.
jewelry companies create entire collection for men only. The jewelry mark
Wellendorff distinguishes with its adherence to classical cannons and elegant
severity. A prosperous man by Wellendorff is conservative and does not wear any
jewelry on his hands but the wedding ring. The old-fashioned symbol of the
matrimony is decorated with strict geometrical patterns made in enamel onto the
white or yellow gold and obtains a complementary solidity being a handicraft. Since
any item of this jewelry brand is handicraft and the period of its creation may
last for up to the year.
The top
trade mark in the sphere of jewelry for men is Baraka, the Italian company. The
works of this very well-known brand won the popularity in the world upon their
quality and unique identity.
They used
industrial and military styles in their collections. Stylish men may get
concerned in these unique and at the same time luxurious diamond fingerings by
Baraka with rubber framing.
All over
the world men seek to reveal that they wear jewelry only because of necessity
and even for the benefit. They argue in favor of their liking to jewelry in the
way that their jewels is a talisman required for well-being or the said ring is
the visit card of the secret society. As for the legendary Borgia family the
rings were of practical significance. Cesare Borgia made their rings famous
because he killed anyone whom he did not like with the help of his rings.
At our
times celebrities wear fingerings not for such purposes but to enjoy and
demonstrate their status. Freddie Mercury, Jack Nicholson, Augusto Farfus and
many other famous and prosperous men were among the lovers of such jewels, the
ones who have a thing to this luxury jewelry.
A student or a
business man, shirts are found in the wardrobe of any men living a social life.
Anyone following fashion tendencies owns a pair of slim fit shirts for any
occasions to distinguish against other common shirts. This kind of shirts is
less trendy for mature men since the design of shirts requires fit and athletic
torso which is rarely available with men over 45. Men's slim fit shirts are
good to fit with any suits, in loose manner, tightly fit in trousers.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Lancome brand is appreciated globally as one of the most recognizable manufacturer of perfume and body care cosmetic products. Lancome is the brand to boast with the assortment of scents appraised by lots of women from all over the world. That is not the triumph for a day. That is the niche the brand keeps as the manufacturer of classic fragrances. So, Tresor launched in the 50s, the legendary and so romantic Poeme, and delicate Attraction that is demanded beyond the time. In the year 2008 that Lancome house presented another fragrance, Lancome Magnifique.
Florence Nightingale, also known as Elizabeth Arden globally, became the real revolution-maker in the cosmetic industry. The brand Elizabeth Arden estabvlished by Graham, was the one of the first companies that produced natural and high quality cosmetic products, indeed, acknowledged by the royal persons. Moreover, the decorative cosmetics are at last accepted in the political society thanks to the brand founder.

Nuggets to Black Group
Published: July 10, 1989
DENVER, July 9— A group of black investors led by Bertram M. Lee is buying the Denver Nuggets in a move that would make the National Basketball Association team the first minority-owned major league sports franchise.
Lee, 50 years old, is chairman of the Boston Bank of Commerce and president of BML Associates Inc., a Boston investment holding company that owns a chain of radio stations in Nebraska and Utah.
Walter Richards, the Nuggets' chief financial officer, said Lee was completing negotiations to buy the Nuggets for a reported $65 million.
''It isn't finalized yet, but I imagine he's here to attempt to do that,'' Richards said. ''We hope to have an announcement Monday or Tuesday.'' A news conference to announce the planned sale was tentatively scheduled for Monday. The completion of the sale hinges on league approval, but little difficulty is expected.
Sidney Shlenker, the Nuggets' owner, said Saturday that ''the Nuggets will remain in Denver.''
''There is no condition - none - under which the Nuggets are leaving,'' he said.
Lee has tried to buy a professional sports franchise in the past, offering a reported $50 million for the San Antonio Spurs' basketball team last year and expressing interest in buying the Baltimore Orioles.

Shlomo D. Katz BROWN RUDNICK LLP Ask Not What the Bid Protest Can Do for You, but What You Can Do for the Bid Protest!
What is a bid protest? Why should a proposal manager care? What is the proposal manager's role before and during proposal preparation? What are common protest grounds? What are the bid protest procedures? What is the proposal manager's role after award and during a protest? How does an offeror decide whether to protest?
"The laws and regulations that govern contracting with the federal government are designed to ensure that federal procurements are conducted fairly. On occasion, bidders or others interested in government procurements may have reason to believe that a contract has been, or is about to be, awarded improperly or illegally, or that they have been unfairly denied a contract or an opportunity to compete for a contract." Bid Protests at GAO: A Descriptive Guide, 9 th edition, p.1 (Government Accountability Office, 2009)
Your proposal may be "on trial"! Understanding the risks of a protest can help you prepare a better proposal. You have the last clear chance to submit a compliant proposal which will be eligible for award. You have the opportunity to give the agency a basis for protest-proof evaluation. You can support a protest because you know your proposal best, or can identify the SMEs who do. If a protest is sustained, you may have to / be able to do it all again.
Identify ambiguities in the RFP. Take advantage of the RFP Q&A process (or make a conscious decision not to). Separate what you know from what you speculate or assume. Understand that the Government has immense discretion. Know what can or cannot be protested, and when. Consult with your attorney about potential legal issues.
Account for ambiguities in the RFP. Write a compliant proposal. Include in the proposal any information you want the Government to consider. Separate what you know from what you speculate or assume. Understand that the Government has immense discretion. Know what can or cannot be protested, and when.
Make clear what you are promising and what you are not promising; Demonstrate cost or price realism by relating actions and deliverables to resources; Not be based on information you have no right to have; and Not promise anything you can't or won't deliver.
Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once. Norman Vincent Peale Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep. Denis Waitley We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot. Abraham Lincoln
"We will..." "We will... if..." "We will complete installation of the system by January 1, 2015 if the Government provides the Government-furnished servers listed in Attachment A by December 1, 2014." "We will tear down the building by January 1, 2015 if the Government vacates the building and removes all of its property by December 1, 2014."
"The following components are included in the price:..." "The following components are required for system operation but are not included in this proposal:..." "Batteries not included" "This proposal is conditional on the Government providing..." Do not say: "The following components will be provided by others:..."
BAD - "Our proposal includes all the necessary equipment." BETTER - "Our proposal includes bulldozers and front-end loaders." BEST - "Our proposal includes two Caterpillar 953D's and one Komatsu WB142-5 for three calendar days."
Solicitation improprieties Ambiguities Overly restrictive, anti-competitive specifications or requirements Specifications contain your proprietary data Response time is too short Improper clauses included Solicitation is improperly set aside or not set aside Bias (but...)
Evaluation and failure to make award Failure to follow evaluation criteria or other RFP requirements Failure to make a proper tradeoff/best value analysis Improper assignment of weaknesses/failure to assign strengths to your proposal Improper assignment of strengths/failure to assign weaknesses to the awardee's proposal Cost/price realism Definitive responsibility criteria ("compliance") Bias (but...)
Exclusion from the competitive range. Cancellation of the RFP. Rejection of late or non-compliant proposal. Organizational conflicts of interest ("OCIs"). Awardee's size status / affiliation / ostensible subcontractor.
Agency's evaluation did not follow evaluation criteria. Agency's evaluation relied on factors not identified in the solicitation. Agency's evaluation of offerors' experience relied on distinctions between offerors' experience not supported by the record. Source selection decision was based on a flawed technical evaluation. Source selection decision considered an undisclosed evaluation criterion.
Rejection of small business' offer constituted a non-responsibility determination that should have been referred to the Small Business Administration. Agency notice of intent to issue a sole-source contract did not accurately describe the services to be furnished and thus did not permit prospective sources to demonstrate their ability to meet the agency's requirements.
The agency did not meaningfully evaluate an important section of the awardee's technical proposal, and the agency, in defending the protest, states its intent to enter into post- award negotiations with the awardee regarding the protested aspects of the awardee's technical approach. Agency did not reasonably support claim that only one firm is capable of meeting the agency's needs. Agency's proposed sole source award was longer than necessary to meet urgent need.
Awardee is affiliated with other companies and is large. Small business prime was unduly reliant on a large business subcontractor. Mentor-protégé arrangement was a sham when 8(a) protégé brought very little to the joint venture relationship in terms of resources and expertise and the project manager was employee of the subcontractor.
Agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation evaluation criteria. Protestor merely disagrees with the agency's technical evaluation. Price/technical tradeoff was reasonable where source selection official reasonably identified technical distinctions between competing proposals and specifically determined that higher technically rated proposal represented best value despite higher price.
Although proposal offered to comply with solicitation requirements, it did not explain how protester would do so. Agency reasonably determined that proposal evidenced lack of understanding of requirements. Agency reasonably determined that proposal did not demonstrate that protester had experience performing solicitation tasks.
Allegation of bias or favoritism was speculative. Incumbent advantage is not improper. Protest is untimely.
The agency The Government Accountability Office ("GAO") The U.S. Court of Federal Claims The Small Business Administration State and local governments
" Interested party means an actual or prospective bidder or offeror whose direct economic interest would be affected by the award of a contract or by the failure to award a contract." GAO Rules -- 4 C.F.R. § 21.0(a)(1)
Solicitation improprieties: before the (next) due date for submission of responses. Evaluation of proposals and failure to make award: within ten days of award or a "required debriefing" Five days to get a stay Special rules for alleged ethics violations. FAR Part 33.1
Other interested parties Protective order Redactions Agency report Supplemental protests Hearing / outcome prediction conference Decision Corrective action Costs
"[ A] contracting agency is required to provide with its report on the protest all relevant documents to GAO and interested parties. Often these documents contain a company's proprietary or confidential data or the agency's source- selection-sensitive information that cannot be released publicly. "GAO may issue a protective order to allow limited access to such "protected" information to attorneys, or consultants retained by attorneys, who meet certain requirements.... The protective order strictly controls who has access to protected material and how that material is labeled, distributed, stored, and disposed of at the conclusion of the protest." Guide to GAO Protective Orders (GAO-06-716SP), p.2 (Government Accountability Office, 2006)
Protestor can request a protective order to protect confidential information its initial filing. Standard for admission to a protective order / "competitive decision-making." Protective orders make meaningful attorney- client communication difficult but not impossible.
Contracting officer's statement of the relevant facts A memorandum of law Copies of all relevant documents, including, as appropriate: The protest The bid or proposal submitted by the protester The bid or proposal of the firm which is being considered for award, or whose bid or proposal is being protested All evaluation documents The solicitation The abstract of bids or offers Any other relevant documents
In appropriate cases, the contracting agency may request that the protester produce relevant documents, or portions of documents, that are not in the agency's possession. GAO Rules -- 4 C.F.R. § 21.3(d)
Make a timely debriefing request. Have a strategy and prepared questions in advance of a debriefing. Separate what you know from what you speculate or assume. Understand that the Government has immense discretion. Know what can or cannot be protested, and when. Support organization in making an informed decision whether to protest. Feed useful information to your attorney.
Timely answer your attorney's questions Provide concrete information and proposal citations. Answer the question without making assumptions about why the attorney is asking the question. Separate what you know from what you speculate or assume. Understand that the Government has immense discretion. Know what can or cannot be protested, and when. Feed useful information to your attorney.
"But they're our customer!" Who will benefit from a protest? Who will benefit from a stay? How strong is my case? How much will it cost? What will we gain (or lose)? Alternatives Potential settlement

25 Swing Trading Tips
2.Don't day trade. The shorter the time frame, the more market noise confuses you about general trend direction. If you are swing trading, give your trade room to work.
3.Buy high and sell higher. Leading stocks make new price highs. Buying laggards increases the chances your trade will fail.
4.Turn off CNBC. A million and one factors impact a stock's price. Watching the news will just throw you off track. Price is all that matters.
5.Keep it simple. If your trade signal is unclear, it probably isn't there.
6.Never buy more than 3-4% above a sound base.
7.Place your stops below a base of support.
8.Pay attention to leadership stocks. If market leading stocks are performing poorly, it is time to get defensive.
9.5-6 distribution days over a short period of time can kill an uptrend. A distribution day occurs when the markets are down on significantly higher volume than the previous day's volume.
10.Never short an uptrend. Wait until the market rolls over and short the first bounce.
11.Don't chase breakouts. If a stock makes a new high, buy the first pullback.
12.Buy where it causes you pain. Rising stocks retest support. Buying the retest can be scary, but offers a low-risk opportunity.
13.If you think your set up is a sure fire winner, it probably isn't. If it's too obvious, everyone else probably sees the same thing and smart traders tend to fade the crowd.
14.Pay attention to the closing hour. Smart money gets busy during the close. Strong closes confirm trend strength. Weak closes should cause you to think about getting defensive.
15.Sell into strength. Trailing stops just cause you to sell low before prices rebound. Sell when the crowds are greedy, not fearful.
16.The 50-day average is defended by smart money. In up trends, prices tend to bounce from the 50-day, in downtrends sellers wait there.
17.Don't buy the open. Too many games get played at the open. Strong opens tend to get sold into.
18.Watch the volume. If prices break out on average or low volume, participation in the breakout is thin and likely to fail.
19.Avoid cheap stocks. Stocks below are usually laggards and are prone to manipulation. Institutions follow leading stocks and price action is more predictable.
20.Check short interest. If it is too high, somebody probably knows something.
21.Buy stocks with consistently improving earnings.
22.The market is never too high. Don't pay attention to permabears who always predict a market crash. Bull markets can go much higher than short traders ever imagine they can.
23.Don't buy falling stocks. Buying pullbacks in an uptrend is one thing, buying stocks that have broken down is trader suicide.
24.Trends are resilient. A small bit of technical damage brings out the sellers, but it is rare for the market to turn south without weeks and weeks of distribution.
25.Have a system for taking profit. If you don't lock it in, it tends to disappear quickly.

Originally posted on Fox Sports South | Last updated 6/12/13
ATLANTA Former Falcons running back Michael Turner, who was arrested on Sept. 18, 2012, in Gwinnett County on suspicion of driving under the influence, pleaded guilty to reckless driving and has received 12 months of probation, a 1,000 fine, 30 days of community service along with his participation in several other programs, according to the Gwinnett County solicitor's office. Turner, who was released by the Falcons on March 1 and has yet to sign with another team, also agreed to the following terms: Risk Reduction (DUI school), alcohol and drug evaluation, no alcohol consumption and random screens. He also pleaded guilty to speeding and paid a 250 fine on that violation. Turner reportedly was driving 97 miles per hour in a 65-mile-per-hour zone on Interstate 85 North near Indian Trail Road. It's possible that Turner's plea to a different charge despite measuring a .109 blood-alcohol level at the time of his arrest, above the legal limit of .08 could help him escape possible punishment from the commissioners office, should he sign with another team. Last August, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke publicly of the need to reduce the number of DUI arrests among players, which had reached 19 in the first seven months of 2012. "We are going to do some things to combat this problem because some of the numbers on DUIs and domestic violence are going up and that disturbs me," Goodell said. "When theres a pattern of mistakes, something has got to change." The Falcons originally signed Turner, 31, to a six-year, 34.5-million contract in 2008 and he earned membership on the Associated Press All-Pro team in both 2008 and 2010 before his production declined significantly last season, falling to a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. For his career, Turner averaged 4.5 yards per carry. Turner was pulled over around 4 a.m. following the Falcons' 27-21 victory over Denver on Monday Night Football last September. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which cited the police report, Turner submitted to a portable breath test and measured a .109 blood alcohol level. Allison Cauthen, a Gwinnett County assistant solicitor and the recorder's court supervising attorney, explained in an email as to why the office did not pursue the DUI charge. (Reckless driving, she said, is a misdemeanor of the same classification and degree as DUI.) She said the "numerical Alco sensor result of .109 is not admissible at trial." "We did not have admissible evidence of an unlawful blood alcohol content in this case, she wrote. After evaluating the evidence of Turner's alcohol impairment, she said in a video recording that Turner "does not sway, look unsteady, or slur his words. The officer reported Mr. Turners exit from the vehicle was normal, his walk was normal, and his speech was normal. There was also some inconsistency between the video and report with respect to how much he had to drink." The AJC, citing the police report, said Turner told the arresting officer he drank five shots after arriving at Magic City, an Atlanta "gentleman's club," at around 3 a.m. Cauthen said the officer did not use two field sobriety tests and did not ask Turner to walk and turn and stand on one leg because "Mr. Turner reported injuring his ankle during the football game that evening." Cauthen also said a third field sobriety test, called the "horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN)," is affected by closed head injuries." As one might expect of someone in his line of work, Mr. Turner has had head injuries and had sustained several violent blows to the head during the game, Cauthen wrote. "Therefore, the result of the HGN was not credible under the circumstances." Lastly, Cauthen said the arresting officer negotiated the plea to reckless driving during what is called an Administrative License Suspension hearing. While those negotiations are not binding on the prosecutor, Cauthen said, her office agreed with the decision. "Evidence sufficient to arrest under the probable cause standard sometimes is not sufficient to convict under the beyond a reasonable doubt standard, she wrote. Turner was represented by Michael LaScala, who did not want to comment to FOXSportsSouth.com on the case. An email request to Turner's agent Bus Cook was not immediately returned at the time of publication. Turner entered his plea on Feb. 28, the day before the Falcons cut him.

Customer Reviews
Great no-frills decompression and file management
I don't need to view or edit files inside a ZIP on mobile very often, but when I do it's typically a very-short-notice work thing. It's good to be able to get it done right away, rather than scrambling back to my computer from wherever I am.
This app handles that job perfectly, and if you think you need it, you probably do. A clean interface and—most importantly—no surprises.
Worked great first time!
I was able to downloaded a zipped ebook pdf from a webpage and open it immediately in this app. I could read it in the app, but I easily used the "open in" link to open the unzipped pdf in iAnnotate to read and make notes.
Couldn't have been easier, unless Apple were to support automatic unzipping of files for all apps so I could open the zip file directly in the preferred destination app - which they don't 😪
This app worked only for a few times. It advertises and shows a lot of the positive reviews but not much negative for some reason oh to get you to buy the paid version. I cannot open the Zips like before and the description does not mention that it will work only for a little while. The same with the other apps. Apple should force them to add that they will work only for a while. With them being like this I don't want to take a chance and purchase their premium one in case something else pops up.

Amid the controversy over the issue of appointment of Lokayukta by the governor in Gujarat, Karnataka governor HR Bhardwaj on Wednesday said he cannot name the new anti-corruption ombudsman in the state without the government's approval.
"I cannot appoint a Lokayukta. I don't think any high court can appoint Lokayukta. The (Karnataka Lokayukta) Act is very clear. Without the approval of the Government, it cannot be done. I don't subscribe to that view. It involves multiple consultation process", he told reporters in Bangalore.
Bhardwaj, who was responding to a question on the Gujarat high court majority verdict upholding the appointment of RA Mehta as Lokayukta by governor Kamla Beniwal, said "Why do you bring in Gujarat here. I have requested the chief Minister (DV Sadananda Gowda) to send a proposal to me."
Under the Karnataka Lokayukta Act, the state government has to consult leaders of opposition and Presiding officers in both the houses legislatures and advise the Governor on the appointment of a Lokayukta.
Karnataka is also witnessing a standoff between the BJP government and the governor on the appointment of Lokayukta, leaving the post vacant for the last four months.
The Government has recommended the name of former Kerala high court chief justice SR Bannurmath as Lokayukta, but it has been rejected by Bhardwaj, who is insisting on a 'spotless' person for the post.

The report of the Church of England's Board of Social Responsibility resulted from wide, practical and scholarly consultation, and carries the sub-title "Valuing families in Church and Society". A highly respectable document, its constructive deliberations contrast markedly with the pronouncement by Dr George Carey on cohabitation. The report is sensitive to today's situations, offering balanced comment and a positive understanding of cohabitation.
In this parish, as in most, responsible cohabitation is a result not only of social trends but of economic practicalities. Some young couples have postponed marriage because of acute unemployment problems. Where a dilemma is apparent, love draws a couple together without the need for a formal marriage pronouncement, in spite of the stigma of "living in sin".
In practice, our cultural norm of traditional marriage should not be compared exclusively with the Christian love imperative. So, who is giving wise leadership in this matter - the church's Board of Social Responsibility, Dr Carey or evangelical dogma?
Yours sincerely,

Replicant is a delay-based effect in the "beat slicer/looper" vein, with some tricks of its own that separate it from the herd. From a simple delay or panning effect, on up to massive random beat mangling, Replicant is a capable plugin well in line with today's modern electronic music styles. Stuttering buffers and filter drops are easy to program, and the comprehensive randomization features give it a mind of its own, if so desired. If you're looking to add some chance to your programming, you've come to the right place.
Replicant is available as both 32- and 64-bit VSTs for Windows, and as a Universal Binary AU/VST for OSX.
There is a 10-minute screencast here which goes over Replicant's features in detail.
» Tempo-based delay and looping effects, from 1/128th note to an entire measure.
» Six independant randomization controls, for subtle changes or extreme aleatoric madness, including a global randomize button.
» Our unique "Hold" feature, to store a random sequence you like.
» Resonant low-pass and high-pass filters that change over time.
» Pan position that changes over time.
» Two separate direction modes, for entire events or individual repeats, with randomization.
» MIDI Note Triggering of loop events for live playing of effects.

Restored..My eye and faith in Doctors
I came to Dr Dayan with problems due to cataract surgery performed on Long Island by a doctor in a very large practice.I had vision loss in my right eye and had been told that it was either CME or Wet Macular Degeneration. Dr.Dayan from the first moment was both calm and concerned and advised me that I also had a partial retinal detachment.He then proceded to laser this and started a series of Eyelea injections to reduce the macula problems. He has recently successfully repaired the detachment and my vision is restored I cannot speak highly enough of this Doctor and would recommend him to anyone I meet

Good doctor but poor staff.........
Dr. Dayan is great, he is thorough and good with scheduling follow up appointments to make sure all is healing properly. Usually the wait isn't too long from your appointment time. My only complaint is his staff at the front desk. They are aloof (to put in kindly) and snippy for no apparent reason. I know everybody has their bad days but I've encountered this "attitude" on every single visit.

Dr Dayan I an excellent ophthalmologist -- it is difficult to understand how he manages with the poor quality of his supporting staff some of whom were disrespectful and downright Impolite. I get the impression that some at the front desk etc really could not care less whether they carried out the doctors request on your behalf as a patient or not.Guess they are quite sure of their jobs!

As I have worked as a plan reviewer, I can tell you that your reviewer is correct from his point of view. You as a structural designer should conform with code and input data. The geotech report is exactly input data for you and it is your problem to show compliance with both code and input data. It is beyond structural designer's power to judge why the geothech engineer has included such a requirement.
From your point of view you are trying to avoid time consumption for the PBD, as far as you have a design project ready. If you can't get along with the reviewer you should ask the building official for clarification whether compliance to UBC is enough or evidence that the building can withstand prescribed accelerations should be provided. When you receive his answer -apply it in design documentation and act accordingly.
