Look no further than an adjustable bed base, which gives consumers the ability to tailor the position of a mattress to any activity. Additionally, an adjustable bed can provide some relief for a number of painful medical symptoms, especially those linked to the spine and back muscles.

S&P 500 company Leggett & Platt is the world’s largest manufacturer of adjustable beds. All beds are designed with ultimate comfort, functionality and style in mind and have been extensively tested to ensure the strongest and most durable product experience possible. Available products include the Prodigy™, S-Cape™ and the Pro-Motion™.

The Prodigy™ adjustable bed completely redefines the role of an adjustable bed in the modern bedroom as a truly interactive and customisable enhancement to your lifestyle. Gone are the days when an adjustable bed was only used to aid better sleep; Prodigy™ delivers the ultimate sleep system into the bedroom, utilising the latest technology and enhanced features to put the user in complete control.

Prodigy™ provides relaxation and harmony to those who share double beds, with use of its one-touch, anti-snore technology. This intelligent feature lets the user articulate the sleep position of a snoring partner by seven degrees to help open the nasal passages, thereby alleviating mild to moderate snoring. After thirty minutes, the bed slowly returns the sleeper back to their original sleeping position.

An additional benefit to sleepers is the gentle-wake alarm system which lightly massages the sleeper awake. In the dual-twin Prodigy™ model, each sleeper can be awoken individually, ideal for those couples who cannot agree on a mutual wake time or for those who don’t have similar sleeping schedules. What’s more, a built in sleep timer can allow users to recline into sleep, by automatically setting the bed from an active position to a sleeping position.

Wireless remote control technology lets sleepers take control of their sleeping arrangements. It also can also be linked with supplementary electronics in the bedroom through applications for the iPhone® and iPod touch®

Another key function is the “Whisper Quiet” Bariatric-motor technology, which enables up to 272 kg of load capacity to be effortlessly lifted.

Leggett & Platt has teamed up with bedding company, Hypnos, a fifth generation, family run British business that has been manufacturing luxury homemade beds (using traditional methods) and that is renowned around the world, as the expert in making handcrafted deep pocket spring beds. Hypnos will now be the exclusive UK distributor of the Prodigy™ adjustable bed into UK retail for a year. [END]

eValid is designed to radically simplify the AJAX application testing, and is engineered so that it can be used by less experienced or less technically skilled professionals. Add in the availability of powerful cloud-based computing resources and the result is to make it possible to create very realistic, very high concurrency functional performance tests — easily, quickly, and at very economical prices.

“The market today is ready for an easy AJAX performance testing solution, one that does not require high-level training, and one which will get workable results, right out of the box, “said Edward Miller, President of Software Research and eValid’s Chief Architect.

This picture shows a typical eValid LoadTest Report

“Because eValid is built in a browser, when it runs a test on an AJAX application it appears completely real to the application servers. Running large numbers of eValid instances — we call them Browser Users (BUs) — using compute-cloud resources gives you the Holy Grail of AJAX Performance Testing. You get high loads and you don’t have to spend a fortune to do it,” Miller said.

The 19 May 2010 eValid Webinar will show how an eValid user can record tests from life, make a few key script modifications to assure that they are LoadTest safe, lift them in 100-wide scenario partitions, run these on very-large cloud-computers, collect data as the imposed load ramps up, and display scenario-wide performance results.

“Accurate, affordable, easy to make and easy to use AJAX tests, run from powerful cloud-based machines. This is our antidote for these hard economic times,” Miller concluded

Key Webinar Facts

• When:
  Wednesday, 19 May 2010, 2:00 PM Eastern Time (11:00 AM Pacific Time).
• Who Should Attend:
  IT Professionals, Project Managers, Lead QA Managers, Web Developers, Testers, Web Masters, Business Analysts, Line of Business and eBusiness Managers, or staff members interested in state-of-the-art web testing techniques and payoffs.
• What It’s About:
  QA departments and AJAX development teams face the daunting task of confirming the capacity of complex AJAX applications — often needing to demonstrate scaling to the 1,000′s and 1,000′s of simultaneous users. Don’t forget to include the nearly mandatory “budget friendly” requirement.

  In this webinar you’ll discover a real force amplifier for AJAX Performance testing. Simple-to-record tests, with only minor modifications to overcome AJAX load-dependent de-synchronization issues, can lift into LoadTest scenarios, each with 100+ Browser Users (BUs). Then, you launch multiple groups of these 100-BU scenarios in a ramp-up sequence until you hit your target, 1,000 or 10,000 or even 100,000 BUs — all running the same proportional mix of AJAX application playbacks.

  The load that is imposed this way makes it a simple task to find all the bottlenecks and problem areas. You just wait and see what breaks first.

• Webinar Content:
  • eValid Architecture and Structure: How eValid functional and performance tests work.
  • Functional Testing: How to make “from life” recordings of AJAX applications.
  • Making AJAX Tests LoadTest Safe: How to adjust and augment tests for complete self-synchronization.
  • Creating a Realistic LoadTest Scenario: How to use the LoadTest scenario editor to create effective LoadTest control scripts.
  • Running Wide LoadTests: How to launch single and multiple-instance runs “in the cloud”.

Schwarzschild Jewelers at Short Pump Town Center is moving to a new location in the Mall

Richmond, VA: Schwarzschild Jewelers is moving its store at Short Pump Town Center to a more central location within the Mall.  The 113-year-old luxury jeweler moved its west end location to Short Pump Town Center in 2004, opening an elegant shop in suite 1214 on the Mall’s lower level.  The new store on the southwest corner of the courtyard leading to Nordstrom’s is expected to open in mid-May.

The new location, selected with customer convenience in mind, will give Schwarzschild Jewelers a more prominent presence within the Mall.  “In the few short years it’s been open, Short Pump Town Center has gained renown as a regional shopping destination and it’s potential continues to grow,” said Lane Schiffman, owner of Schwarzschild Jewelers. “Schwarzschild has a tradition of innovation and culture geared towards providing the highest level of customer service to our clients, which includes locating our stores in areas that are convenient to our customers. Our new location puts us right where we want to be – in the center of one of the Mall’s highest traffic areas.”

The new Schwarzschild Jewelers at Short Pump Town Center will have an elegant, contemporary décor with a modern sensibility and chic, sophisticated vibe.  The designer selected rich walnut cases trimmed with a brushed iron satin finish set against a luminous palette of platinum and silver with accents of black to create a luxurious backdrop for the firm’s fine jewelry and Swiss watch collections. The open layout includes amenities such as a beverage center and private diamond viewing rooms, as well as, state-of-the art workrooms for the firm’s bench jeweler and Master Watchmaker.

The boutiques at Schwarzschild Jewelers Short Pump Town Center will feature selections from some of the worlds finest jewelry and watch brands including Hearts On Fire®, A. Link, John Hardy, Konstantino, Mikimoto and Slane & Slane; Omega, IWC, Breitling, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Raymond Weil and Baume & Mercier to name just a few, in addition to a special Pandora boutique.

Schwarzschild Jewelers was established in 1897, when W.H. Schwarzschild was commissioned to represent one of the finest watchmakers of the day. A family-run, independent jeweler, Schwarzschild is one of the region’s oldest retailers and one of the last remaining of Richmond’s carriage-trade businesses. Schwarzschild Jewelers stores are located at Short Pump Town Center, Alverser Plaza and Cary Court Shopping Center or on-line at www.schwarzschild.com.
