when did timothy whites become boots pure drug co | were named either simply "Timothy Whites" or "Timothy Whites & Taylors". The company was taken over by Boots Pure Drug Co. in 1968. Immediately before the takeover, there were 614 Timothy Whites shops, which had had a combined turnover of approximately £33m in the year before the acquisition. As a result of the rationalisation that followed the takeover, Boots rebranded and absorbed the pharmaceutical side of the business, leaving Timothy Whites with just 196 shops that sold only housewares. The Timothy Whites name eventually disappeared in 1985. Timothy Whites Timothy Whites was a British chain of dispensing chemist and houseware | paq |
A Discourse-Centered Approach to Language and Culture | The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, as usually formulated, searches for isomorphisms between grammar and culture and views language as either providing the means for thought and perception, or, in its stronger form, conditioning thought, perception, and world view. In this article I consider discourse to be the concrete expression of language-culture relationships. It is discourse that creates, recreates, focuses, modifies, and transmits both culture and language and their intersection, and it is especially in verbally artistic and playful discourse, such as poetry, magic, verbal dueling, and political rhetoric, that the resources provided by grammar, as well as cultural meanings and symbols, are activated to their fullest potential and the essence of language-culture relationships become salient. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Which apostle sat on the board of Beneficial Life? | Since I don't live in Utah I feel like I miss a lot of stuff but I was just wondering which apostles were on the board of Beneficial Life when it was run into the ground?

Once in a 5th sunday meeting I remember a TBM bearing his testimony about how GB Hinckley counseled members to get out of debt and then when we had a financial crisis everyone who followed his counsel was saved. Funny that Beneficial Life wasn't saved.

Public Bureaucracy and ‘Customer Service’: The Case of Centrelink 1996–2004 | It is often assumed that public bureaucracy is inherently antagonistic to the individualization of the delivery of welfare services.

Peter Lloyd (aviator) | George Alfred Lloyd, (born 15 December 1920), known as Peter Lloyd, is an Australian aviator and entrepreneur. Since the 1950s, Lloyd has been involved with administering aero clubs in Australia and internationally, as well as promoting air sports and air safety. He turned 100 on 15 December 2020.
Early life
Lloyd was born in Sydney in 1920, and attended Sydney Church of England Grammar School, and then the University of Sydney.
Military service
On 31 May 1940, Lloyd enlisted in the Second Australian Imperial Force for service in the Second World War. He was assigned to the 2/6th Field Regiment and saw action in the Middle East and New Guinea, ending his service as a lance-sergeant. On 8 March 1945, Lloyd was mentioned in despatches for gallant and distinguished service in the South-West Pacific.
Aviation career
On his return to Australia, Lloyd worked as an entrepreneur and grazier. In 1951, Lloyd was elected treasurer of the Royal Aero Club of New South Wales, and in 1955, he qualified as a pilot. In 1957, Lloyd became president of the club, a position he held for ten years, and then again from 1972 to 1974. He built up the club from poor condition to the largest aviation school in the British Commonwealth.
In 1958, Lloyd became president of the Federation of Australian Aero Clubs, and set about greatly increasing the federation's membership and promoting aviation sports throughout Australia.
Representing Australia Lloyd served as treasurer-general of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale - The World Air Sports Federation from 1976 and then FAI President from 1986-1988.
Honours
In 1964, Lloyd was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) as president of the Royal Aero Club of New South Wales.
In 1969, he received the Oswald Watt Gold Medal—Australia's highest aviation award.
In 1989, Lloyd was awarded the FAI Gold Air Medal—one of only three Australians to have won the award.
In the 1990 Australia Day Honours, Lloyd was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for service to aviation and international relations.
In 1992, he was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
In the 2016 Queen's Birthday Honours, Lloyd was upgraded to a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC), for eminent service to the aviation industry, particularly to the advancement of air safety in Australia, through leading roles with national and international aeronautical organisations, and airsport associations.
In 2016 he was awarded the Oswald Watt Gold Medal by the Royal Federation of Aero Clubs of Australia.

Abstract The fracture behavior under near plane-strain deformation conditions of Zircaloy-4 sheet containing solid hydride blisters of various depths has been examined at 25 and 300 °C. The study was based on material with either model ‘blisters’ having diameters of 2 and 3 mm or a continuous layer of hydride; in all cases, the substrate material contained discrete hydride precipitates. The fracture strains decrease rapidly with increasing hydride blister/layer depth to levels of about 100 μm deep, and then remain roughly constant. For a given blister depth, the material is significantly more ductile at 300 °C than at room temperature although measurable ductility is retained even at 25 °C and for large blister depths. The material is somewhat more ductile if the hydride is in the form of a blister than in the form of a continuous layer (rim). The hydride blisters/layers are brittle at all temperatures, and crack shortly after yielding of the ductile substrate. Consequently, both experimental evidence and analytical modeling indicate that fracture of the sheet is controlled by the crack growth resistance of the substrate at 25 °C. At elevated temperatures, the hydride particles within the substrate are quite ductile, inhibit crack growth, and failure eventually occurs due to a shear instability. | The susceptibility of fuel cladding to failure in the case of a postulated reactivity-initiated accident may be determined by crack initiation within a hydride blister or rim and subsequent crack growth through the thickness of the cladding. This study has determined the fracture toughness of hydrided cold- worked stress relieved Zircaloy-4 sheet subject to through-thickness crack growth at both 25 and 300°C. The experimental approach utilizes a novel procedure in which a narrow linear strip of brittle hydride blister across the specimen width creates a well-defined precrack upon initial loading. The subsequent crack growth resistance is then characterized by four-point bending of the specimen and an elastic-plastic frac- ture mechanics analysis. At room temperature, the through-thickness fracture toughness K q is sensitive to the orientation of the hydride platelets and K q 25 MPam for crack growth through a mixed in-plane/out- of-plane hydride field. In contrast, K q is much higher 75 MPam when the hydride platelets are oriented predominantly in the plane of the sheet and therefore normal to both the crack plane and the crack growth direction. At 300°C, the material exhibits greater ductility as the hydride particles within the matrix resist fracture such that K q 83 MPam, despite the much lower flow stress of the material. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Although Alzheimer's disease has been associated with carotenoderma in some reports, most studies on serum carotenoids in these patients show that their levels of carotenoids and retinol are depressed, and may be associated with the development of dementia. A true association between Alzheimer's disease and carotenoderma is unclear at this time.

Alkoxycarbonyl group relaxation of some aliphatic esters in glassy media | Abstract Dielectric absorption studies have been made in the frequency range 10 2 –10 5 Hz of a variety of aliphatic esters of the type R 1 COOR 2 ; where the size, steric and inductive factors are varied. The esters have been studied in glassy media. An intramolecular relaxation process around the R 1 XXX(COOR 2 ) bond in vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl chloroacetate and vinyl bromoacetate has been observed in the 79–133 K region with a very low Eyring enthalpy of activation. The barrier is appreciably less than that for alkoxy (-OR 2 ) group rotation, and is fairly insensitive as to whether R 1 is an alkyl or halo-substituted alkyl group. Further, the barriers (2–9 kJ mol −1 ) are comparable to the theoretically calculated value of 5.5 kJ mol −1 , and the speculation in the literature that the barrier for rotation of the alkoxycarbonyl group [in poly(methylmethacrylate)] may be substantially enhanced in a matrix is not borne out for the relatively smaller molecules examined here. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Environmental effects in the fretting fatigue of Ti-6Al-4V | Abstract Fretting fatigue curves have been determined for the alloy Ti-6Al-4V (IMI 318) in push-pull in the following environments: dried and deoxygenated argon, dried liquid paraffin, humid argon, 1% NaCl solution and laboratory air. The fatigue strength in the corrosive environments of humid argon and NaCl solution were somewhat higher than in the non-corrosive environments of dried and deoxygenated argon and dried liquid paraffin. This is attributed to the corrosion product conferring some protection against the fretting action. From the fatigue results air appears to be similar to the non-corrosive environments. | s2orc_title_abstract |
Inspired by Jerry Hall, Amanda has had a wardrobe clearout .
Dresses she still owns include one from a disastrous awards night .
And one she wore on first dates .
Other outfits have painful memories .
So which will she be able to part with? | Not for the first time, I have been inspired by Jerry Hall. I adored her so much back in my early 20s that I made and hand-painted an exact copy of the fabulous black and gold tiger-print dress she wore in the video of Bryan Ferry’s single Let’s Stick Together. So when I read that she'd cleared out her wardrobe to sell her stash of designer clothes for charity I decided to follow suit. The problem is, I don't have one wardrobe, I have seven - three in my bedroom, three in my study and, just for luck, one more in the guest bedroom. Raiding her wardrobe: Amanda has a lot of clothes so will she finally be able to give some away? In my defence, I'm not a prolific shopper, but I am a hoarder and hitherto incapable of throwing anything out - after all, every piece in my wardrobe conjures up memories of the times I wore it. Twice a year, I swap between summer and winter clothes, keeping the seasonal ones in my study and the off-season ones in the bedroom. One whole wardrobe is an overflow, and I confess I haven't worn any of the pieces hanging in it for at least six years. This is obviously where my clearout should start, but would I be able to part with anything? Black night: Within weeks of wearing this, Amanda left her partner . THE BIG BREAK UP . I bought this exquisitely embroidered, draped Alberta Ferretti sequined black top and lace skirt for my ex-partner's 50th birthday party nearly seven years ago. It cost £500 and the colour should have been a clue. During the speech I made, paying tribute to his many great qualities, I kept breaking down in tears. Guests came up to me afterwards and said it was so touching, so very moving. Little did they know they were tears of sorrow, not joy, because I knew I was soon to leave him. Within weeks he had moved out. I can't wear this outfit again, but hope it brings happiness to some poor unsuspecting soul. Too young: This outfit has to go . MAJOR WARDROBE MALFUNCTION . I bought this stripy skirt from Reiss about five years ago for £80. It has never been worn, unsurprisingly, and looks more like a belt than a skirt. What was I thinking? I bought it during a skinny phase and thought I could get away with anything. I did put it on a few times planning to wear it, but one glimpse in the mirror and I knew it was all wrong for me - too short, too obvious, too young and not a little tarty. The Agnes B red cardigan is one of those items you buy thinking 'I'll get lots of wear out of this' but I never have. The front-fastening gapes and the buttons constantly break free creating serious cleavage malfunction. Charity bag it is. Memory: This top reminds Amanda of a once happy relationship . MEMENTO OF MARRIAGE . I picked up this classic stripy top for my then fiance John at a market in Sydney 30 years ago. It cost $5 and is still as good as new. Our marriage ended very sadly just four years later, but this top reminds me of the happier times we had in the Australian sunshine, falling in love and frolicking in the sun without a care in the world. We both used to wear it, and it is the only thing of his I have kept. The wedding ring I returned, the engagement and eternity ring I pawned and gave the money to a homeless old lady who lived in a doorway near where I worked in Pimlico. I won't ever wear this top again, but I can't chuck it either - it reminds that even failed relationships begin with love. Back it goes. Online mistake: A regrettable purchase . DON'T DRINK AND SHOP . This £200 black and white fur trimmed Nanette Lepore cardigan was one of my many online mistakes. Rule one for online shopping - never even contemplate it after a couple of glasses of wine. I’m a bit of an online ingénue, sticking to designers such as Amanda Wakeley or Nanette Lepore as their sizes are constant. I also get my Myla bras and knickers online, partly as I loathe underwear shopping and they always fit. This cardigan looked fabulous on a young model, but it makes me look like a little old lady collecting her pension at the Post Office. This is all wrong for me, but hopefully it will be just right for a grateful granny. Issa not working for me: Amanda won't keep this wrap dress . LOOKS GOOD ON KATE BUT NOT ON ME . I fell in love with this dazzling Issa dress when I bought it about eight years ago, with a hefty price-tag of nearly £500. Yes I know Kate swears by these faux-wrap dresses - and, yes, I know the cut and draping are ludicrously flattering, but they're just so middle-aged. With its bold bright green, yellow, blue, white and black pattern, one male friend said it made me look like an exotic butterfly emerging from the forest. Another suggested a giant dragonfly. Ouch! It fits perfectly, and is very slimming, but who wants to look like an insect, stick-like or not? Out! Winter warmer: But Amanda is passing this coat on . THE LESSER SPOTTED YETI . This fluffy coat, bought for £120 in the sale at Fenwick's 15 years ago, always made me feel like a teenager. Despite the unusual grey, blue and pink mottled fake fur, it felt glamorous with jeans or a dress. One of the reasons I loved this coat was that it was such a change from my beloved timeless Nicole Farhi black wool and fake fur coat or my navy swing coat - they were for work, my yeti was for fun and I wore it for years. And while my girlfriends thought it was cool, one male friend said it made me look like a moth-eaten taxidermied bear. Trying it on again now, I realise it is just too young for me these days. Let's hope it keeps some twentysomething warm and happy this winter. Date dress: Now for her boyfriend's eyes only . MY 'COME AND GET ME' FROCK . Now, I love this £250 red Nanette Lapore dress and actually think it's quite flattering, but my boyfriend hates it. I know we shouldn't be influenced by what our men think, but we are. Anyway, it's not that he doesn't like it. He loves it, but only when I wear it with him. He describes it as a 'date dress', but he actually means it's a come-and-get-me frock. It does pre-date him, so to speak, and I have a hunch that's why he dislikes it so much, for the mere reminder that I ever dated anyone else. Silly thing. I'll admit that the colour is rather obvious, and the neckline a bit Marie Antoinette, but on reflection I refuse to give this one away. Back it goes - for his eyes only. Sadness: Amanda wore this to deliver tragic news . TOO PAINFUL TO PART WITH . It's funny what you come across when you search through your wardrobe - the good, the bad, and the unbelievably painful. To anyone else's eye, this £20 khaki linen sundress would be first on the reject pile. And I did contemplate losing it - for a moment - but it stays. I last wore it nearly 20 years ago. The phone rang before 6am on an already stinking hot day in Perth. It was my brother Michael's wife telling me the news we'd been expecting but would never be ready to hear. He had died in the night. Frantic to get dressed to make our last visit, I was keen not to offend by wearing anything inappropriate. So I chose this modest dress then walked into Mum and Dad's room, where they were curled up together asleep, to tell them. Michael's last words to me the night before he died were 'see ya', something I intend never to say to this dress, so plain to the eye but so embedded in the heart. Best forgotten: This was worn during an embarrassing public blunder . NIGHT THAT MAKES ME CRINGE . This Kenzo dress cost a whopping £500 when I bought it for the Sony radio awards in 2003, to announce the prize for best talk radio presenter. A simple enough task you might think, reading out three names in reverse order. And yet when the moment came, for some unfathomable reason I decided to pay my own personal tribute to Five Live's Victoria Derbyshire (who hadn't even been placed in the top three). No sooner had the words 'the wonderful Victoria Derbyshire' left my lips than she and her team were on their feet, hugging each other and heading for the stage. I had to shoo them back and announce the real winner, whose name escapes me to this day, but the shame lives on. The host Paul Gambaccini whispered in my ear that it was the biggest disaster he had ever witnessed at an awards show. Little wonder I've never been able to wear it since. Top of the reject pile it goes. | cnn |

Like his father Stephen King | This is just awful. Like his father Stephen King, this guy takes a really interesting idea and just kills it with heavy handed, ham fisted storytelling.

Newark Area - Had my truck broken into last night. Tips and reminders for Redditors: | As you probably guessed by the title, my Explorer was broken into last night. it was parked on the street in front of my house in Newark off Old Baltimore Pike. Luckily my alarm scared off whoever it was just after they managed to get my passenger door open, and they ran off without taking anything of value. Though my belongings were scattered about the yard and street. According to the responding officer, this has been on the rise in the local area.
Just wanted to provide some tips that the officer confirmed to help mitigate your risks. It never hurts to double check:
-Don't leave your keys in the car
-Make sure you lock your car
-GPS units, put them in your console or glove compartment. Don't leave them visible. Same goes with any other electronics
-Don't leave your wallet in your vehicle
-Keep your title in a safe place, separate from your vehicle
-If possible, park in a driveway instead of on the street
-Don't keep loose change visible. Cars have been broken into of $1.29 and a box of donuts
-Keep your vehicle clean. A cluttered vehicle is more likely to be broken into than one that's clean and tidy with nothing visible
I know most of these seem obvious, but others aren't exactly well known. Protect yourselves and your stuff! | reddit_title_body |

Consider the following set theoretical result of Schröder-Bernstein-Cantor: Let $A$, $B$ be sets. Assume we have injections $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : B \rightarrow A$. Then there exists a bijection $h : A \rightarrow B$. Although this fact seems obvious, its proof is not completely trivial (see ) But what about the following statements? Let $A$ and $B$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces. Assume we have monomorphisms $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : B \rightarrow A$. Then there exists an isomorphism $h : A \rightarrow B$. (true) Let $A$ and $B$ be vector spaces. Assume we have monomorphisms $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : B \rightarrow A$. Then there exists an isomorphism $h : A \rightarrow B$. (true?) Let $A$ and $B$ be Hilbert spaces. Assume we have monomorphisms $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : B \rightarrow A$. Then there exists an isomorphism $h : A \rightarrow B$. (true) Let $A$ and $B$ be groups. Assume we have monomorphisms $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : B \rightarrow A$. Then there exists an isomorphism $h : A \rightarrow B$. (true?) How far can you generalize the original result of Schröder-Bernstein-Cantor, at least in categories where monomorphisms are injective and isomorphisms are bijective? | The Cantor-Bernstein-Schroeder theorem states that if there are two sets $A$ and $B$ such that there exist injective (alternatively, surjective, assuming choice I think) maps $A \to B$ and $B \to A$, then $A$ and $B$ are in bijection. It then seems natural to try to strengthen the result to other structures. If $A$ and $B$ are, say, groups (or rings, modules, etc) such that there are injective homomorphisms from each to the other, then $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic. I'm wondering if there are any results on this, or if there are known counterexamples. The theorem for sets alone is nontrivial, so I feel like any results about how it holds for other structures would be quite interesting. | stackexchange_body_body |

what kind of constants are used in range encoding | Range encoding us as much room as possible. The decoder will be following the same steps so it will know when it needs to do this to keep in sync. Base 10 was used in this example, but a real implementation would just use binary, with the full range of the native integer data type. Instead of codice_8 and codice_9 you would likely use hexadecimal constants such as codice_10 and codice_11. Instead of emitting a digit at a time you would emit a byte at a time and use a byte-shift operation instead of multiplying by 10. Decoding uses exactly the same | paq |
