Limited."Contains articles written by staff and others, on general topics presumed by the management to be of interest to Foy & Gibson staff; with photographs, illustrations and some biographical information.Originally issued under the title: All shoulders to the wheel (pre-1936).Foy & Gibson (also known as Foys) was one of Australia's earliest department store chains, modelled on Le Bon Marché in Paris and other European and American stores of the period. A large range of goods were manufactured and sold by the company including clothing, manchester, leather goods, soft furnishings, furniture, hardware and food. The first store was established as a drapery in Smith Street, Collingwood, Victoria by Mark Foy. Ownership of this business was transferred to his son Francis Foy in partnership with Willam Gibson in March, 1883. Francis Foy later sold his half share of the business to Gibson and moved to Sydney, establishing Mark Foys there. Gibson established a branch of the business in Perth and subsequently opened a store in Brisbane in 1903 and another in Rundle Street, Adelaide in 1907. In 1955, the company was bought out by Cox Brothers and in 1964, Foy & Gibson (WA) Ltd, including ten stores in Western Australia, was sold to David Jones. The Bourke Street Melbourne store was sold to Woolworths in 1967. [From Wikipedia, viewed May 5, 2011]Gibson's partnership with Mark Foy was dissolved after a disagreement in mid-1884, and William Gibson became the sole proprietor. By the early 20th century Gibson's store and manufacturing works, one of the largest employers in Victoria, dominated the Wellington and Smith Streets area [of Collingwood, Melbourne]. A second store - the Big Store - opened in Chapel Street, Prahran, in 1902. After Gibson died in 1918, the firm was carried on by his nephew John Maclellan until it was taken over in 1955 by Cox Brothers, which went into liquidation in 1968.

Dear Mr. Gibson:
At the recent meeting of the members and shareholders
of the Association, it was the unanimous consent of
those present that an expression be sent you telling
you how much you were missed at the meeting and ex¬
pressing the hope that you will soon return to the
communityo I am sure you received the letter.
I am happy to send you this note to convey to you
our sincere appreciation for the splendid services
you have rendered us through the years, and to tell
you how much we miss you and pray and look forward
to the day when you will be with us again.
At the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders, you were
reelected to the Presidency of our Association. No
one is better suited to hold this position and
could add the dignity and acumen to this high place
that you have given it through the years. We are
indeed fortunate to have you as our President.
With every good wish and kindest regards from the
members, shareholders and directors, I am
S
Yours sincerely,

ICA with a reference: extracting desired electromagnetic brain signals
No full textICA is a technique for the extraction of statistically independent components from a set of measured signals. This technique enjoys numerous applications in biomedical signal analysis in the literature, especially in the analysis of electromagnetic (EM) brain signals (measured via the EEG and MEG). Standard implementations of ICA are limiting mainly due to the assumptions of equal numbers of sources and measured signals inherent with methods that assume square mixing. For EM brain signal recordings which have large numbers of channels (e.g. MEG), the large number of resulting extracted sources makes the subsequent analysis laborious and highly subjective. However, there are many instances in neurophysiological analysis where there is strong a priori information about the signals being sought, such signals generally include artifacts, as well as specific rhythms or even seizure or spike waveforms in the ictal and interictal EEG. Constrained ICA, as introduced by Lu and Rajapakse (2001, Proceedings of Third International Conference on Independent Component Analysis and Blind Signal Separation), consists of a variation of standard ICA that can extract signals that are statistically independent, yet which are constrained to be similar to some reference signal-the measure of similarity could be, for example, mean-squared error, correlation, or any other suitable a priori information that can be included. The algorithm is fast and suitable for online analysis and here we demonstrate this method on a number of artifactual and clinically significant waveforms identified in recordings of EEG and MEG, where constrained ICA was applied to each in turn using a crude reference waveform, derived from the raw recordings in each case. The algorithm repeatedly converged to the desired component within a few iterations and subjective analysis indicated waveforms of the expected morphologies and with realistic spatial distributions. Here we show that constrained ICA can be applied with great success to EM brain signal analysis, automating artifact extraction in MEG and EEG, as well as on seizure extraction in the EEG
