Robert Getgood

Robert Getgood (23 March 1884 – 30 November 1964) was a politician and trade unionist in Northern Ireland. He was born in Ballymacanallen, Co Down, the son of George Getgood, a cobbler, and Eliza Jane Patton. In 1921 he married Annie Thompson.

Getgood joined the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union (ATGWU), and later became its Textile Officer.^[1] He also joined the Northern Ireland Labour Party (NILP).^[2] In 1931, he stood in an election for the Chairmanship of the party against Harry Midgley and Sam Kyle, but they were all beaten by Hugh Gemmell. However, Midgley became Chair later in the decade. During a dispute about the Spanish Civil War, Midgley stood down and Getgood finally became Chair in 1938.^[3]

In 1940, Getgood was elected to the Executive of the Irish Trades Union Congress (ITUC), and he became Chair in 1944.^[1] He stood for Westminster for the NILP at the 1943 Antrim by-election,^[2] taking second place, with 28.3% of the votes cast.^[4]

Getgood stood in Belfast Oldpark at the 1945 Northern Ireland general election, and gained the seat from the Alexander Hungerford of the Ulster Unionist Party. However, he lost the seat to the Unionists at the 1949 general election.^[2]

Getgood retired from active trade unionism in 1947.^[1] He resigned as Chairman of the NILP in 1948, after it came close to declaring in favour of the partition of Ireland.^[3] In 1952, he acted as a delegate to the Moral Rearmament World Assembly held at Caux.^[2]

Susceptibility weighted imaging

SWI Image acquired at 4 Tesla showing the veins in the brain. Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), originally called BOLD venographic imaging, is an MRI sequence that is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhage and iron storage. SWI uses a fully flow compensated, long echo, gradient recalled echo (GRE) pulse sequence to acquire images. This method exploits the susceptibility differences between tissues and uses the phase image to detect these differences. The magnitude and phase da...

Smartphones and pedestrian safety

People using phones while walking Safety hazards have been noted due to pedestrians walking slowly and without attention to their surroundings because they are focused upon their smartphones. Texting pedestrians may trip over curbs, walk out in front of cars and bump into other walkers. The field of vision of a smartphone user is estimated to be just 5% of a normal pedestrian's.[1] Some cities have taken design measures to make the streets safer for inattentive pedestrians, including...

Ce système diffère des normes de présentation de l’adresse postale occidentale, puisqu’il commence par le lieu géographique le plus général pour se terminer par le plus spécifique. Histoire La loi japonaise sur le système d’adressage[1] a été promulguée le 10 mai 1962, afin de rendre les zones urbaines mieux identifiables et faciliter ainsi la livraison du cour...
