I learnt that PMI is a form of Non Destructive Testing which is used in oil and gas exploration, construction, petroleum and petrochemical facilities, where the emphasis is on reliability, safety and accident prevention.

Wikipedia defines NDT as ” a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.[1] Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly-valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. Common NDT methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, and eddy-current testing.[1] NDT is a commonly-used tool in forensic engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, medicine, and art”

Willy worked as an engineer on luxury yachts in the South of France but was better known to myself and many others as the driving force behind various different bands that entertained us over the years.

I was entertaind by Willy for over 10 years and know that music was his passion. I will never forget how he helped organise the Sunday night Jam sessions originally in the Kings Head and latterly in Slammers.

Without him these would never have been the success and pleasure that they became. I know his absence is already painful for all his fellow musicans – who gave him a fitting send off this evening.

I wish you a safe and happy journey – I will miss you.

The exhibition is going to take place at the Jeune Chambre Economique de Monaco from 8th to 30th July 2010.

I have just launched his website to promote his exhibition visit TheMarkMcFadden.com to view his current work.

Respect!

I find it helps to put these goals down in writing so below are some of my key business goals for 2010:

Finalise and launch AnyJobAds.com and MC-PSL.com

Finish beta testing of CorpRecordPro and launch to wider market of financial service providers.

Revamp and relaunch RivieraAds and MonacoPropertyAds

Provide a running commentary on the build up to the Monaco F1 and Monaco Historic Grand Prix on this and possibly another GP site.

Develop my website creation, optimisation and management business.

Continue to develop alliances with overseas outsources.

Those are a few of my ideas – hope to keep you updated with my progress over the next 12 months.

I am just coming to the end of what I would describe as a well deserved break away from work in Monaco. I have been in the North of England visiting my parents for Xmas. My brother Mark and his family are here from Australia and my brother Tony and his wife Suna were up from London as well.

I got delayed two hours leaving Nice on EasyJet and an other 2 hours upon arrival at Liverpool before they would let us off the plane! After that everything could only get better.

Snow in Lytham St Annes with my parents for the first time I can remember

Snow in Lytham at Xmas

Mark had done a house swap with his family house in Sydney with a family from London so the whole family went down to London for New Year where my parents had a great time at Billy Elliot and we were all spoiled by Matthew and Carla on New Tears Eve. (Glad to hear you all got to the airport the next day for your flight to New York).

Got the snow train to Val D’Isère on the 2nd with Mark and his family and am currently recovering after the first 2nd days skiing. I am starting to believe that I am not 20 any more – it is 10-21 and I am struggling to keep awake.

It has hardly stopped snowing since we got here so the snow is very good.

Tim - feeling cold

Georgia - Can't believe her har is still not dry

Me and Barbie wondering what the ****

I am looking forward to a few more days skiing with Mark, Barbie Tim and Georgia and will get the train back to Monaco on Saturday Morning.

Hope you have all had a great Xmas and New Year and hope 2010 will be the bring you whatever you are missing.

The entertainment for the day was provided by Paul Dobie who coincidentely went to school with me in Blackpool and still lives near my parents in Lytham St. Annes!

About 40 of us met in the Columbus bar at 12.30 and had a lunch of Haggis, Angus Beef with trimmings, cheese and trifle and of course copious amounts of wine. Paul entertained us all afternoon magnificently and when we adjourned to Slammers Bar he came with us and played in the bar all evening.

The last post I made Oliver Goldsmith, Dita and SALT Sunglasses was made after an evening in the Pub watching Ireland robbed by Thierry Henry’s double handball and the officials inability to spot said handballs and the earlier off-side!

I had watched the game with Anthony Reid who is the owner of SeeQual SARL, a newly formed Monaco Company which has the European Distribution Rights for the Oliver Goldsmith, Dita and SALT Luxury eyewear brands. SeeQual have just launched their new website and he was asking for some advice on how to get a good SERP.

Having promised to have a look at his site and being unable to sleep for cursing the French, I sat at the PC for a couple of hours and came up with a number of very fundamental changes to the site which should increase the organic SERP. I also decided to make a post to this blog to illustrate how a first page Google Ranking could be achieved fairly easily.

Sure enough within an hour or so the post appeared on the first page of Google.co.uk and Google.fr for the following search phrases:

salt. eyewear european distributor

dita eyewear european distributor

Satisfied and tired enough to forget the French I sent Anthony an email illustrating what I had done and went to bed.

The following day I spoke to Anthony and after an initial technical problem with the hosting company he got the same results as I did for Google Searches and understood better that it is a necessary part of web site creation to make sure that the site is optimised for the correct keyword phrases.

That evening I was closing down for the day and decided to google search for some other keywords and see if there had been any changes overnight. I was astounded to find that there was no reference to this blog post in either Yahoo or Google and to date there still is not.

If anyone has any ideas what has caused this please let me know, I don’t think the post broke any of Google’s guidelines and the other posts are still referenced, perhaps it is linked with the technical problems with the hosting which put the site down for a good part of Thursday.

I will keep you posted if I anything else occurs!

With the head office in Monaco SeeQual distribute the following luxury sunglasses brands :

Oliver Goldsmith

Founded in 1926 by Philip Oliver Goldsmith, a former salesman for a small optical firm, Oliver Goldsmith were the first to see glasses as fashion accessories, the brand was the first to appear in Voge, the first to be endorsed by Celebrities and Royals and the first to work alongside fashion houses to create one-off pieces for the catwalks. Think 20th Century icons. Grace Kelly, Michael Caine, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon. Think iconic films of the Fifties and Sixties. The Ipcress File, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Two for the Road. They’ve all got one thing in common: Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses.

Dita

The story of Dita Eyewear is really the story of life long friends, Jeff Solorio and John Juniper co-founders of Dita and the driving forces behind Dita’s celebrated designs. Their common passion for design and photography led them to introduce stylish eyewear inspired by vintage frames from the 50′s through the 80′s. Thereupon Dita has revitalized the old classics that have played a key role in defining personal character and style.

SALT

SALT., founded in 2006, is an independent lifestyle company that creates premium handcrafted eyewear for individuals with a unique sense of style. The company’s name SALT is short for “saltwater”, a metaphor for the independent spirit and sense of freedom felt after spending time in the ocean. This lifestyle transfers to the brand’s designs. SALT. appreciates simple, timeless design, impeccable quality, useful technology, hand-made craftsmanship and the purest fit. SALT. is modern, yet honors the past, and is driven by a minimal sensibility in all things.

SeeQual pride themselves on not only providing their retail partners with great eyewear brands but also their eyewear brands with great retail partners.
