Background and what we plan to do
The original plans for this project were to increase the number of berths from 40 to 145 and to improve on-shore facilities in order to provide a more attractive facility for recreational sailing. A technical feasibility study was carried out, to find out whether the proposals were possible and to establish the likely cost. The findings of the technical feasibility study were –
- A marina is technically feasible within Campbeltown Harbour i.e. layout, dredging, infrastructure etc;
- The number of berths has had to be reduced from 145 to 45 due to the projected supply and demand;
- The proposal is not 'self-financing' by virtue of the projected high capital costs and insufficient income to cover capital costs and depreciation over the term of the project;
- Grant funding would be required;
- There is a substantial capital funding shortfall;
- There is overall stakeholder support for the project.
The Campbeltown CHORD Project Board agreed that further investigations should be carried out - looking at lower capital costs & alternative technical solutions; potential funding sources; engaging more with stakeholders.
The overall objectives of the Campbeltown Berthing Facility project are -
- To enhance berthing facilities;
- Ensure that the facility is commercially viable and sustainable;
- Ensure that the facility offers value for money;
- Ensure that the facility has an agreed, robust and sustainable management organisation.
This project is part-financed by the European Union's European Regional Development Fund through the INTERREG IVA Cross-border Programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body

Project updates
Title | Update |
Campbeltown Berthing Facility - update February 2014 |
The CHORD Project Team and consultants continue to develop the Full Business Case for the development of Campbeltown Berthing Facilities including dedicated onshore toilets and showers. The Full Business Case is now at an advanced staged and to date the following activities have been completed;
The current stage is developing the full technical specification, clear operational guidance and detailed business planning. As part of this final phase before submitting a completed Full Business Case to the Council, we will be having a final open day to allow all interested individuals and organisations to engage with the project team as they finalise the design and business plan. In addition to the above, the open day will also relate to other significant works on the Old Quay around the Fish Berths that is not directly related to the redevelopment of Campbeltown Berthing Facility and whilst the two projects are distinct, they will be managed collectively to ensure minimum disruption to the Old Quay. The open day will be on Friday 28 March 2014 in the Town Hall in Campbeltown between 11.00am and 5.00pm. |
Planning application for Campbeltown berthing facility submitted |
A planning application is being submitted to extend and improve the existing berthing facility in Campbeltown. See our press release for further information. |
Campbeltown Berthing Facility Update - November 2012 |
Argyll and Bute Council has finished the tendering process for Campbeltown berthing facility. A consortium led by Fairhurst, one of the largest privately owned partnerships of consulting engineers in the United Kingdom, has been appointed. The work is being done as part of the Campbeltown CHORD project which will mean major improvement for the town and waterfront. Fairhurst and partners will be responsible for developing the full business case including a detailed design for both improved berthing and onshore facilities, securing all the necessary consents, final costings and details of operational management. Work is expected to be finished by the end of May 2013. Chair of the Campbeltown CHORD project board, Councillor Rory Colville said, "I am delighted we have moved forward to a key stage of this project. The council has recently demonstrated its commitment to this project with the dredging of the site which not only allows the berthing of larger vessels but is designed to accommodate the options being considered. "It is expected there will be berthing for around 45 vessels once the project is completed. The aim is to make sure the facility is commercially viable and sustainable, offers value for money and has a robust management in place. I am confident this will enhance the future of Campbeltown." There will be continued engagement with key stakeholders followed by a third workshop and details of this will be released at a later date. The project manager maintains a list of stakeholders. If you would like to be included please send your contact details together with a brief description about your interest in the project to the project manager: email@example.com For example - John Smith, e-mail address, telephone number - local sailor, interested in the plans for the berthing facility. |

Gillingham's new manager Martin Allen at the Priestfield Stadium, Gillingham, Kent, 5th July 2012.
Greg Miles, Twitter: @greg_KOS_sport
Saturday, July 21, 2012
Three trialists were also on show against Dartford
Martin Allen is hoping there will be more joining his trio of new recruits who made their Gillingham debuts in the win over Dartford.
Striker Ben Strevens, goalkeeper Stuart Nelson, and midfielder Charlie Allen signed late on Friday afternoon, and played their part in the vitory over the Darts at the Princes Park Stadium.
Nelson was the only one to start the game but made way after 60 minutes as the whole team was changed around, as Strevens partnered Adam Birchall upfront, and Allen, the manager's son, playing in midfield.
It was Strevens who got the only goal of the game on 73 minutes, tapping in Matt Fish's header across goal from Birchall's deep cross.
There were also three trialists in the side with non-league hot shot Damian Reeve partnering Danny Kedwell upfront, while Dean Morgan played on the left side of midfield, and Ryan Gilligan played the last 30 minutes in midfield.
Goalkeeper Tommy Forecast has also joined the club on a season-long loan as part of the deal which took Paulo Gazzaniga to Southampton.
Allen said: "Strevens did alright, he's always going to do that stuff, he's got form and quality, can play wide left wide right upfront on his own.
"Nelson, I know what he can do, and Charlie, he's full of energy, full of running, played his part in the goal, he made the run from the six yard box, that's what he can give you, he's not a one paced average central midfield player,
"Sometimes people that are not on the radar we will find and help them and see what we can do.
"I'll talk to the chairman, he's on holiday at the moment but I'm in touch with him 45 times a day, but he's ambitious."
He said he is hoping to add to the three he has signed so far.
"I've been working on trying to get some players in," he said. "There were a lot that left at the end of last season that need replacing, "We need to improve the gap between good young players and the first team, we are looking for a couple, it will be up to the chairman it's his money."
Charlie Lee wore the captain's armband in the second half, while Danny Jackman did in the second, and Allen admitted he hadn't made his mind up about who his skipper would be yet, and said picking Lee was done on the spur of the moment.
"We hadn't picked a captain, and Chalrie was by the door," he said. "There are still some more players to come in and hopefully they will have strong character and personality to help our team and will come into consideration for that job."
He said he was half expecting the slow performance in the first half, but pleased with the turnaround in the second 45 minutes.
"The players looked very tired in the first half, they had a hard session on Friday, we perhaps expected it would be like that," he said. "The 15 minutes after half time they really stepped up which I thought was encouraging.
"The last 30 minutes was with a less experienced team who did the same training as those yesterday, we played a different system and we were a lot sharper, a lot more tenacious and the fact we scored a goal was a double bonus."

VirtualBox: Bits and Bytes Masquerading as Machines
Although the most common use of virtualization technologies is still certainly in the enterprise space, there are enough desktop virtualization applications out there now that a home user can join the fun. Whether you need an OS to study for a certification, want to run an OS that your host machine can't run directly (like me), want to run a server but don't have another physical machine to use, or just plain-old want to experiment, VirtualBox is a quick-and-easy way to jump into the fray.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd's Presidential Campaign website is the next candidate we'll be examining for their online marketing strategy. A 5 time senator, Dodd according to his biography, has had public service in his blood, because of his father's, Senator Thomas Dodd, days in office and their influence upon him as a child.
Chris Dodd Presidential Campaign Site: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Strategies
Compared to the other sites that have been previously reviewed, (Hunter, Kucinich, Biden & Thompson) Chris Dodd's site actually appears to have some form of optimization to it. Now with that stated, it doesn't mean that it's great, it just means compared to the other sites that have been reviewed, it's a step or two above the previous efforts that were displayed.
First, the Chris Dodd official presidential campaign site doesn't have a URL that's only part of the candidates name - chrisdodd.com spells it quite well who the site is about, just like Joe Biden does. Second, thankfully, there is no splash page to hinder a visitor getting to the information about Chris Dodd.
It does seem that the Dodd Campaign team put a little thought into some kind of optimization for the site. Each page actually has a unique title tag, however there is no meta description, so while they are cognizant of the title tags, they are letting the engines actually pick what should be displayed in the snippets in the search engine listings. They are also missing keyword meta tags, but since that isn't as an important of a optimization element, the fact they aren't including them won't really hurt much with the site and its rankings.
The most positive thing I can say about the site, is that they realize that the candidate is "Chris Dodd", not just "Chris" or not just "Dodd". You see that throughout all the pages. It's even in the alt attribute of some of the images on the page (surprise they are even utilizing that!). There is also limited on page optimization - use of H1 tags in the right way help to round out the minimal optimization that's been put forward.
The common theme through out 99% of the candidates, is that it seems that all they care about is there names. There's been no keyword research into what else people are searching on for information on the candidates. Sure, the name is going bring in the biggest amounts of traffic but what about those long tail terms, or those terms people use that don't know your name? Someone in New Mexico might know Bill Richardson, but not know who Chris Dodd is, how do you get their attention? That's what all the candidates are leaving on the table, including Dodd.
SEO Grade: B+
Chris Dodd Presidential Campaign Site: Social Media Strategies
Out of all the candidates reviewed so far, Dodd has the most extensive social media strategy, and actually keeps most of these profiles up to date and current with new information from his campaign. Dodd actively promotes connecting through his campaign through Facebook, MySpace, Eons, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, MyGrite, MTV's Think, Gather and UStreamTV.
Believe it or not, this candidate campaign staff is really putting the effort behind utilizing the social media. Most of the profiles are up to date, and include fresh content from the ChrisDodd.com website. Most of the profiles show that they've been logged into within the last few days, and they are even utilizing Twitter with messages that Chris Dodd recieves - they "tweet" them out to the followers.
Where Thompson and Biden incorporated Flickr for their photo galleries on their sites, Dodd is doing the same with YouTube and UStreamTV. You can watch the videos in the channels right from the ChrisDodd.com website. That's a nice touch, it would be even better if they incorporated Flickr in as well since they have such an active account.
Again though, there are some disappointments, a common one so far, no social media "meetup" sites are included in the promotion. Then, if they could make their social media widgets/buttons open up in a new tab/window, that'd be a great added touch (even if it is for usability).
In general Dodd's campaign team is doing a great job on the Social Media front.
Social Media Grade: A
Chris Dodd Presidential Campaign Site: PPC Strategies
The weakest spot of this online marketing strategy for the Chris Dodd Presidential Campaign is the PPC efforts. There is none to speak of - not in Google, Yahoo, Ask nor Live. Like Biden, Kucinich and Hunter, they leave so much opportunity behind without a PPC campaign.
PPC Strategy Grade: F
Chris Dodd Presidential Campaign Site: Blogging Strategies
Chris Dodd's site has got a very active blog. Matt Browner-Hamlin, is the Campaign's chief blogger, and the man is a writing machine. The blog puts out as many posts as Joe Biden's blog does. These blog posts are chalk full of pictures and relevant information about the campaign.
Chris Dodd's blog is also the first Presidential Campaign Blog I've reviewed that is optimized. In fact it's more optimized than the rest of the site. Title tags are in line with the blog post titles, on page optimization is present, it makes me wonder why this didn't follow through the rest of the site. They also allow visitors and readers to comment on blog posts.
While they have a very active blog, its still lacks in a few areas. There's no RSS button for just the blog. Half way down the page (throughout the site) on the right hand side, there's an RSS button for the site itself, not the blog. Then there's no social news, social bookmarking or any kind of other promotional options like "send to a friend" or to submit to StumbleUpon. Not having these blog promotional tools lets a lot of networking opportunities behind.
Blogging Strategies Grade: B+
Overall the marketing strategies for this democrat presidential candidate are that bad. If they implemented some sort of small PPC campaign, this would be the best review so far, but unfortunately there's none to review which brings down their overall assessment.
Overall Grade: B
Interested in seeing the other reviews so far? Check out the online marketing strategy reviews for Republicans Fred Thompson & Duncan Hunter, and Democrats Joe Biden and Dennis Kucinich.

September 2009 Archives
Maybe it was just the impossibly large eyes, but Steven Spielberg's extra terrestrial from 1982 remains the alien most Earth-dwellers would like to meet.
Brought to life by Oscar-winning special effects, the invaders from the Red Planet ruthlessly turned us Earthlings into ash in this 1953 film adaptation of HG Wells' War Of The Worlds, a thinly-veiled critique of imperialism.
Even the misfiring Superman Returns can't dent the Man Of Steel's status as the alien who's saved Earth countless times from villains such as Lex Luthor and Brainiac. His finest hour was in 1980's Superman II.
The gigantic egg-laying fiend provided a horrifying adversary for Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in the terrific 1986 sci-fi sequel, Aliens.
Devoid of tentacles or bug eyes, this alien arrived in DC to warn us our war-like ways posed a threat to the rest of the universe in The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951). What did we do? Shoot him, of course.
Love Comes
Making full use of the new cheesiness in pop that gives any old 80s disco poppers a chance to reinvent themselves as Big Fromages, the Bananas go for it like hyperactive mums on a lunchtime gym work out on this palpitating comeback. Cashing in their considerable (40 million sales) chips, Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward - now without original member Siobhan Fahey - ensure a late-flowering day in the sun. Love comes, no doubt. But for how long?
Working in relative obscurity for more than a decade, Billericay babe Gemma Ray has shaped her own unique musical vision. On her second official album Lights Out Zoltar!, Ray's guitar twang and lustrous vocal deliver classic pop in sometimes spooky, but always compelling, hallucinogenic dreamscapes.
"Essex was a cultural wasteland but I had a really cool group of friends," says Gemma, 29. "They'd bring obscure things round like Mary Lou Lord, which became massive to me."
Early recordings were sold at gigs, but she was the first signing made by Bronzerat Records, the future home to blues phenomenon Seasick Steve. Seasick is a Gemma Ray fan and Led Zep man Jimmy Page had nice things to say about her debut album The Leader.
"That was cool," admits Gemma, "but it's not something I want to make a big thing out of."
A period of illness helped concentrate her energies on Zoltar.
"It was a lot of mysterious things that ended up in chronic fatigue syndrome," she says. "But it made me more focused and still does. I can't just go off on a bender."
Ed Norton narrates this fascinating documentary (Cert 15, 96mins 4/5) about a group of bronzed Australians who turned surfing into a worldwide competitive sport in the mid-70s. Packed with awesome footage and revealing interviews, it's one to bust down the cinema doors to catch. Showing in London only.
He had long been one of her greatest musical heroes and sources of inspiration, so when Prince asked soul songstress Beverley Knight to support him during his famous 21-night run at London's O2 Arena in 2007, she was absolutely thrilled.
"He grabbed me by the arm when I came offstage one night," recalls Beverley, "and asked me to also do four aftershows with him. After that he flew me to Los Angeles for his post-Oscars party. That was surreal.
"We chatted a lot and he was full of good advice about the music industry. I'd always watched that side of his career with interest."
Supporting him in the main arena and playing the aftershow parties meant Wolverhampton-born Beverley, 36, got a close look at Prince's amazing work ethic.
"I don't think time means anything to him," she laughs. "When we did the O2 aftershows I think I was onstage for four hours with him. I actually kicked my shoes off after a while because I couldn't cope with the pain.
Cert 12A, 95mins 4/5
It's better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. Or so the old adage runs. Here to provide compelling evidence to the contrary is Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a hopeless romantic who's put through the emotional wringer after falling for a beautiful but aloof girl called Summer (Zooey Deschanel). Like District 9, here's a movie that defies your expectations, turning the rom-com formula right on its head. Not only do we learn early on how this boy doesn't get the girl, it warns us at the start how it's not a love story while, interestingly, the plot unfolds in a non-chronological order.
Told over the relationship's 500 days, from the elation of Tom and Summer's first kiss to the agony of their break-up, it's an energetic, enjoyable affair with plenty to say about unrequited love.
Gordon-Levitt gives a sterling performance as does Deschanel, even if she now seems forever typecast as the queen of kook.

Popular Songs
Reliably fascinating trip through a pleasing variety of styles by the US underground institution. Snake-hipped grooves, novel concoctions (a bit like Orange Juice doing the samba), bittersweet musings and garage punk action all feature. A homemade juke joint with taste and elegance to spare.
As powerful as it is, the original PS3's bread bin shape wasn't exactly ideal for wedging into a shelf of your TV stand.
Around a third smaller and 36 per cent lighter, the PS3 Slim is an excellent refinement of the previous version. Despite its smaller size, the Slim still retains the original's key features including Blu-ray playback, free online multiplayer gaming and comprehensive media file support.
It's a shame that backwards compatibility with older PS2 titles is still omitted, although an increasing number of older games are popping up for download from the Playstation Network all the time.
Aside from aesthetic changes, arguably the real point of note is the Slim's significantly cheaper price.
With a slew of triple-A titles such as God of War III and Uncharted 2 set for release this winter, expect to see many fence-sitters tempted down the PS3 route.

PROFINET: Feeding the Industrial Internet
I read a GE white paper on the topic, The Industrial Internet@Work. It talks about "the economy," but not about PROFINET. I can't speak to "the economy," but I can speak to "PROFINET." So, what role does PROFINET play in the Industrial Internet? The Industrial Internet encompasses a huge space – from sensors to software. The software might be local or plant-wide; it might even be in the cloud or put information there. All PROFINET does is move data from IO, sensors, actuators, vision systems, drives, and similar devices to a controller and back. Not high profile, but very vital.
In the white paper, the first goal is "Towards Zero Unplanned Downtime." This is actually a goal that PROFINET really contributes to. Diagnostics is a major benefit of PROFINET and a major differentiator from other Industrial Ethernets. In fact, it is one of the "Four Reasons to Pick PROFINET" as a previous post by that title explains. And diagnostics are the keys to spotting problems before they occur, preventing downtime, and providing rapid troubleshooting when downtime does occur.
PROFINET diagnostics cover devices and the network. PROFINET enables an alert to be issued if there is a problem with an individual sensor's connection. For example, if an analog input is expected to be between four and 20 milliamps, but the actual signal is two milliamps, there's a problem. And PROFINET can alert that, providing the chance to fix a problem before bad things happen to production. If a network connection goes down, PROFINET can alert that as well. Even if this results in downtime, PROFINET enables pinpointing the exact location of the fault, speeding repair time.
PROFINET may just be the pipe, but it provides a vital link in the movement of data. And PROFINET enables increased productivity by preventing and reducing downtime.
About Carl Henning
Carl has had experience with a machinery maker, a process instrument company, several system integrators, an HMI company, and now with PI North America. He focuses on educating the industrial automation market about PROFINET. Carl blogs about industrial automation, fieldbus, and Industrial Ethernet at www.PROFIblog.com.

I got this as an accent piece for the corner of a room. It's a nice touch instead of shelving or art work. The piece is well made but it came open in the packaging. I literally took it out of the opening in the top of the box. Due to the mishap there were some scratches. Luckily they are facing up and cannot be seen. Its a shame alot of O products get bad ratings due to the shipping and not the actual product. I'd rather pay extra to ship then have an item come to the house tattered and open.
Need some coverage of a messy dining room turned into a study since it's one of the first things in the entrance of the house. I'm actually going to order one or two more screens to provide more coverage. Not a bad screen. Had a little ding on the "wood finish" but is attractive and I think a pretty good value or adequate value for the money spent. Shipping was fast. Came 5 days before an anticipated arrival date promised.
I love overrstocks. but this item was a rare miss. It was very cheaply made, plus it arrived damaged, with one louver broken. Since the divider was very well packaged, it could have only happened before it was boxed. There were also strange white blotches on the item, which didn't appear to be intentional. Save your money for a room divider of better quality.
good material - sturdy and color is as pictured - fits exactly in the room - shipping timely and arrived in good condition
I bought the burnt white with three panels and I am very happy with my purchase. Very nice accent piece and brings character to my living room. I like that it is light enough for me to move it easily. Good quality.
Very happy with the product. It match the photo and looked great in my house. It also was light enough that I could move it by myself. Exactly what I needed.

New academic posts in Australia
The School of Design of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia is expanding an
International Master Program in Design & Health
This unique international taught Masters programme addresses the impact of the built environment on health, wellbeing, and quality of life. With an exclusive mode of delivery and involvement of esteem
ed intercontinental contributors, this interdisciplinary Masters offers continued professional
development to practitione
rs from a range of professional backgrounds
. With contributions from internationally recognised
academics, scholars, and practitioners from around the world, you will aim to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the fields of public health, psychology, health management, architecture, design, economics and their interactions. You will learn to apply knowledge and information regarding human characteristics and behaviour to the built environment. The programme will be delivered from locations across Europe (such as Scandinavia and Italy), providing opportunities to travel and to experience the application of health and design theory and research in practical 'real-world' examples. The programme has the full support of the American Institute of Architects, Academy of Architecture for Health.
This programme will appeal to people from professional disciplines in health, design, architecture, planning, and construction. Individuals likely to benefit from this course will have a desire to gain a cross-disciplinary perspective of health and design, be willing to travel and experience different cultures and outlooks, and be receptive to a blended learning approach including lectures, seminars, virtual learning environments, group- and independent-working. This programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills to apply the principles of research-based design to your own professional discipline.
Originally scheduled to start in September 2012, the programme has been postponed until further notice as The International Academy for Design & Health seeks a new University partner to deliver the programme.
Programme objectives
The main objectives of the programme are:
• To provide theoretical knowledge in basic public health, health promotion, quality of life and practical solutions to improve the human condition from a healthy environments perspective.
• To provide the participants with knowledge and skills on health, wellbeing and quality of life as well as the principles and practice of health promotion by psychosocially supportive design.
• To highlight the value and success of healthy built environments around the world and to introduce some practical applications.
• To provide knowledge of how design may affect human health and well-being as well as the economic impact of environmental design, health and stress in organisations and in society at large.
• To provide a solid foundation for further studies and research on the relationship between design and health, wellbeing and quality of life, and its socio-economic impact.
Structure of the course
The two-year programme includes four core units covering: (1) health, wellbeing, and quality of life; (2) design for healthy environments; (3) impact of design on health and economy; and (4) research methods in design and health; together with a final dissertation unit in which you will undertake a research project of your choosing in the field of design and health. This programme will provide you with a firm foundation of theoretical understanding, knowledge, and skills, on the principles and practice of research-based design, health promotion by psychosocially supportive design, socio-economic implications of design, and the value of design to individuals, organisations, and society. The programme content covers the health promotion implications of design in a full range of private, public and institutional settings, including: healthcare, elderly care, housing, education, the work place, and urban environments. The programme will have a mixed-mode delivery with four residential one-week blocks (rotating through different global locations) of face-to-face delivery (including specialist guest speakers, lectures, group work, seminars, and site visits). Each unit is supported by an interactive online platform, which offers access to further learning resources and activities, tutorials and discussion forums. You will be assigned a personal online tutor. All units will be assessed via coursework.
What will I study?
This unit provides participants with opportunities to develop their knowledge of health theories including health psychology, health promotion and psychosocial health models. Students will be provided with the historical background and theory of health, well being and quality of life (QoL). The unit will cover the methodological issues involved in the measurement and assessment of these constructs, appraisal of QoL measures, quantitative and qualitative approaches, concepts involved in scale development (reliability and validity), and assessing QoL in specific groups and environments.
This unit aims to provide you with a contextual background for designing healthy living and working environments. It will introduce you to a range of design precepts, and legislative barriers and affordances that guide the delivery of healthy and sustainable environments. The unit aims to develop your understanding of the considerations required in the practice of designing healthy environments with multifaceted stakeholders from health, planning, and implementation, involving design, construction, and services consultants. You will also consider the impact of applied research to inform real-life solutions to the design of healthy environments. Throughout this unit you will consider theoretical perspectives alongside practical implications, the complexities of delivering healthy environments, and evaluate existing and new designed environments through the use of case studies, and assessment of user occupation and interaction.
In this unit you will evaluate and critically appraise models of post occupancy evaluations, and examine methods used within health economic evaluations. By the end of the unit you will be able to justify appropriate data collection techniques for financial related outcomes such as direct and indirect operational costs, maintenance and income generation. You will assess the validity, reliability, applicability, and credibility of techniques for measuring the impact of design. The unit will facilitate you to conceptualise a case problem and identify and suggest assessment tools for a range of health, behavioural, social and economic outcomes that reflect the needs of all users and the local community.
This unit aims to develop your skills and abilities to investigate, understand, and interpret research issues in design and health. It will cover the philosophical and ethical underpinnings of research paradigms and a range of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Through this unit you will develop skills in critical appraisal and evaluation of research studies. By the end of this unit you will be able to evaluate the appropriateness of different research methodologies in the context of a variety of settings, interpret and explain statistical results from quantitative research, describe different approaches to analysing qualitative data, design a research study based on a well-formulated research question, and explain the principals behind conducting ethical research and good research governance. The unit will be assessed via research proposal (which will be tailored towards your chosen dissertation topic).
You will undertake and report research into a specific topic within your chosen area of design and health, using the skills and knowledge developed during the programme. The research will either involve an original and critical exposition of existing knowledge within your specialist field or an empirical research project. This unit will be assessed via a 15,000 word dissertation.
Who should apply?
This programme offers professional development for individuals on a range of career paths in different sectors (for example: health and allied professionals, architects, designers, urban planners, commissioners of building and design works) and settings (such as hospitals, care homes, schools, work places, housing, and urban environments). Individuals interested in the application of design and health principles and research will benefit from this programme. This programme will enhance career prospects by equipping participants with an interdisciplinary understanding of the research and design of healthy environments. Participants will be equipped to apply such understanding to their own endeavours in research-based design and in the evaluation and appraisal of other work in the field.
Entry requirements
The minimum entry qualification is a bachelor's degree with lower second class honours or equivalent qualification from a broad range of disciplines including engineering, sciences, public health, design, industrial design, economics, architecture, psychology, medicine, nursing and allied health professionals, construction, planning, business studies, environmental science and property studies. Applications from individuals with equivalent professional experience are also welcomed.
Fees, finances, and how to apply
Tuition fees will include accommodation during the residential blocks, hospitality, site visits, and online and face-to-face tuition. Students will need to cover the costs and make arrangements for their own travel for each residential block. Students are encouraged to seek sponsorship from their employers for this professional development course.
The program is organised in five units:
U17838 Health and wellbeing, Quality of Life 30 credits
U17839 Design for Healthy Environment 30 credits
U17840 Impact of Design on Health and Economy 30 credits

[iPhone] Syncs calendars, contact lists, and social media accounts with Cue
Posted By Tucker On November 19, 2012 @ 8:00 PM In iOS | No Comments
C [1]ue is an iPhone app developed by Greplin, Inc. that aims to make your cluttered schedule look less daunting. The secret? Intuitively linking certain related events together by accessing your various accounts.
Main Functionality
Cue allows you to sync multiple calendars, contact lists, and social media accounts to build the best possible picture of your personal and professionals lives. Some of the things which Cue syncs for you include email, contacts and calendars to Facebook posts, Dropbox files and LinkedIn. The result: "an intelligent snapshot of your day."
[2]I really like what Cue tries to do. The idea of an app that is smart enough to recognize related items in your social calendar across all your services and link things together in a meaningful way is a great idea. Most of us have days on our calendars that are just too hectic to make sense of. Cue does a good job of helping users avoid those feelings of being overwhelmed.
A lot of user reviews on the App Store note issues with "synced" calendar items not actually getting synced. In my own experience playing around with Cue, I didn't experience this at all. It took a couple minutes for the calendar items to sync, but everything imported fine. Unlinking, not surprisingly, also takes several minutes.
What I did experience were TERRIBLE wait/load times. It wasn't even just a matter of waiting for items to sync: whole days would just stubbornly refuse to load. Maybe premium Cue users don't have this problem, but I certainly did.
Cue has really great potential. It's easy on the eyes, and the way that it attempts to intuitively provide a "snapshot" of your day in an attractive, easy to review package is truly commendable. But despite its free price tag, it is hard to give this app a glowing recommendation: the load times are truly problematic. It's definitely worth trying out, and seeing if it works well for you. In my opinion, however, I think Cue hasn't quite reached its full potential. Keep your eye on it, though: when Cue does reach its potential, it will be a killer app.

Great product! Low price!
I'm just learning how to play tennis and this racket has been perfect. I've come rally far with this racket I'm sure down the road I'll need to upgrade but for now I cant even tell a difference! GREAT BUY TO START OFF!!!
November 14, 2012
You get what you pay for...
Beginners level raquet only. If you are serious about learning and playing regularly, then you do not want to learn with this.
November 13, 2012
DO NOT BUY, it's aluminum and made poor!
I thought this would be great as a beginner racquet, I was wrong! The racquet is made of cheap aluminum. There is no way to control accurracy when hitting the ball. If you want to learn the right way from the start and not waste your time, then don't waste your money on this racquet. Sad, because I really like a bargain :/
October 19, 2012

I'm between a beginner and intermediate tennis player, and I love my new racket!

Reviews - Mill End Hotel
4 | Self Classified Hotel | Ratings explained |
Perched on the banks of the majestic River Teign, on the outskirts of the ancient moorland stannary town of Chagford, Mill End is a perfect country hotel for a break on Dartmoor. Miles of local walks, great fishing right outside, and the spectacular high moors just a short drive away. The cathedral city of Exeter is less than 25 minutes away, and Devon's coasts are also within easy reach.
Relax with a cream tea in the hotel's spacious gardens, or put your feet up in front of a crackling log fire. Perfect peace and relaxation.
The hotel's restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and evening meals. In the evening, the hotel offers a flexible and well-priced menu - everything from a simple (but excellent) steak to a full three-course meal. Either way, the emphasis is on local, seasonal produce, prepared with care and presented with care.
The hotel offers free parking right outside, and complimentary wi-fi in most of the public areas (also available in some rooms).
Dogs are welcome at Mill End, and a small charge of £8 per dog, per night, applies.

- Both Java and .NET use the idea of a "virtual machine," or VM. And while VMs are useful for some purposes, they undermine the security of your source code, because creation can be reversed, or decompiled. Which makes this one-of-a-kind book extremely useful: you must understand decompilation to properly protect your intellectual property.
Decompiling Android looks at the the reason why Android apps can be decompiled to recover their source code, what it means to Android developers and how you can protect your code from prying eyes. This is also a good way to see how good and bad Android apps are constructed and how to learn from them in building your own apps.
- Creating Mobile Games: Using Java ME Platform to Put the Fun into Your Mobile Device and Cell Phone is a practical build-it-yourself mobile Java games book with lots of complete working code and advice.
- Bug Patterns in Java presents a methodology for diagnosing and debugging computer programs. Eric Allen lays out a theory of debugging, and how it relates to the rest of the development cycle.
- Written by Lift Scala web framework founder and lead Dave Pollak, Beginning Scala takes a down-to-earth approach to teaching Scala that leads you through simple examples that can be combined to build complex, scalable systems and applications.
- Beginning POJOs takes you through the construction of a complex enterprise Java application centered around JBoss, Spring, Hibernate, Tapestry, and Ant. This book is ideal if you're new to open-source Java and want to build enterprise Java applications from scratch, using the full range of available open-source tools and frameworks.

Garlic & Anchovy Dip Sauce (Bagna Cauda)
- Details
- Published on Monday, 05 August 2013 10:41
From the northern Italian region of Piedmont, this dish – which literally translates as 'hot bath' – was a popular peasant snack to replenish vineyard workers at the end of a long day. The fragrant mixture of oil, garlic and anchovies are blended with melted butter to create a dish that's similar to fondue. It's consumed in much the same way, too, using freshly cut vegetables typically found in Piedmont gardens, served as a dipping accompaniment to the sauce. It is often served with a medium-bodied red wine such as barbera.
- 15 garlic cloves, halved
- 185ml (¾ cup) milk
- 200g (about 20) salted anchovies*, rinsed, drained, backbone removed
- 200g butter, chopped, at room temperature
- 100ml olive oil
- 80ml (⅓ cup) thickened cream
- Place garlic and milk in a small saucepan over low heat for 20 minutes or until garlic is softened.
- Remove from heat and, using a fork, mash garlic in milk until combined.
- Add anchovies, return pan to heat and cook, stirring continuously, for a further 10 minutes to develop flavours and allow anchovies to break down.
- Gradually stir in butter, then olive oil, then cream until well combined and butter has melted. Transfer to a small dish and serve with vegetables and crusty bread.

1. Preheat the oven to 170˚C.
2. Place a large saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add the oil and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until aromatic.
4. Add the paprika and jamon and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until the fat starts to turn translucent.
5. Add the tomatoes and the bread and cook for 5 minutes until the bread absorbs the tomato juice.
6. Add ⅓ of the stock and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring regularly, until the stock is absorbed.
7. Repeat with the remaining stock in two more batches. After adding the final one-third of the stock, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the soup thickens.
8. Season to taste.

100 Famous Guitar Riffs
By A Real Person on July 9, 2012
In case you missed this, in a promotional video for the Chicago Music Exchange, Alex Chadwick plays 100 famous guitar riffs in one take, a chronological history of rock 'n' roll. The amazing part is that he recorded this in one take, seamlessly transitioning from one song to the next with an incredible amount of agility and grace. After listening a few times you might believe that this could be one twelve minute song and not 100 riffs. Try not looking at the video while it plays and see how many riffs you can name.
There's more information on his equipment and a full list of the songs at 100riffs.com And if you're dying to hear the full version of the songs, here's a Spotify playlist that has all of them.
Follow me on Twitter: @dihard11
You could argue the song choices all day, but I immediately noticed that The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was left out, which in this kind of list is criminal. And it seemed to me that mid/late Seventies punk rock got covered in just a couple of songs, which also seems unfair. (No Sex Pistols?!)
But, overall, a darn fun list!
That was excellent. Very surprised with some of the bands that made it on there, but happy to see Blood and Thunder since that is one of my favorite guitar riffs of all time.
[…] (Via NERDIST) […]
Good stuff…although mike I laughed reading your comment…I thought the same thing
Excellent job dude! Crazy Train is a bitch isn't it? Amazing how most of our favorite songs use the same triad. 5 stars!
extremely happy to see "give it away","scar tissue","hysteria" and "smells like teen spirit". "under the bridge" should have been on there but awesome list. suprised to see stuff from now
great post. more cool stuff about riffs

Web Services
A web service is a technique used to request, communicate, and transmit information from one location (a server or series of servers) to any device with internet access. Web services are modular in nature and utilize standard programming languages and protocols. They have grown in popularity over the past several years because they allow a company to share their content and services with external parties, without exposing proprietary software algorithms or granting access to IT systems that reside behind the company's firewall.
Web services are frequently accessed by internet and mobile applications. To utilize the web service, the application makes a "request" by passing a pre-defined set of information over the internet to a specified internet address. This information typically includes a web service key, which is akin to a password that validates that the application is authorized to access the content and services being requested, as well as a series of parameters that define the exact nature of the request. Once the request has been authenticated (by confirming the key) and the request parameters interpreted, the results are fetched and returned to the requester via the internet
Below is a brief description of the web services offered through TomTom's Map Toolkit API key.
- Maps
TomTom's global digital map content comprises a large volume of data, and to efficiently transmit map images for display over the internet to multiple users simultaneously, the data are divided in to gridded sections called tiles. The map data for each tile are then pre-rendered, meaning images of each map tile are generated, saved, and stored. The pre-rendered map images are rendered at 256 x 256 pixels and available at 19 different zoom levels, ranging from 0 to 18. For zoom level 0, the entire earth is displayed on one single tile, while at zoom level 18, the world is divided into 236 tiles, or 68,719,476,736 tiles in total. Each tile at this zoom level represents an area on the earth that is 153 meters by 153 meters in size.
When a user of our Maps service makes a web service request that specifies zoom level and tile location parameters, the pre-rendered map tile(s) for the specified request parameters is returned to the user. In addition to the map tiles, our Maps service can also render real time Traffic and Route images, which can be layered on top of the map image, adding additional information to be displayed to the end user.
- Routing
TomTom's world class routing algorithms, which were originally designed for use on our Personal Navigation Devices, are now available through our Routing web service. When a user of this service enters a starting and ending location, the Routing service uses our geocoding, maps and historic and real time traffic information to calculate the best possible travel route between the starting and ending locations. The Routing service returns human readable turn-by-turn route instructions, the route distance and expected travel time, and a series of coordinates that represent the calculated route path. This information can delivered visually by using the using the Map web service to send Map tiles, Routing and Traffic information to be displayed to the end user.
- Traffic
TomTom continuously monitors travel conditions along roadways by analyzing data from millions of GPS-enabled devices that submit GPS measurements to our data centers in real time. We also receive detailed incident reports, such as accident, construction, and event locations, from authoritative sources. These data feeds allow us to create an accurate and detailed real-time view of travel speeds and incidents along the entire street network. Our Traffic Icons web service allows users to access this traffic information for a given area by specifying the area and zoom level. The returned information includes a detailed overview of traffic problems within the area, with updates available every 2 minutes.
- Geocoding
Geocoding involves assigning real-world coordinates to non-spatial information, such as a destination street address. When a user submits an address to our Geocoding service, the various address components, including house number, street name, city, state, country, and/or zip code, are algorithmically matched to our map database features and attributes. When a match has been made, the best-fit coordinate (latitude and longitude) relative to the map database is calculated and returned to the user. TomTom's Geocoding service utilizes our high quality map database, which include over 156 million address points, thus yielding highly accurate geocoding results.
- Reverse Geocoding
The past decade has seen an explosion of GPS-enabled devices, giving people the ability to determine their real-world coordinates (latitude and longitude) in real-time. Our Reverse Geocoding service takes real-world coordinates and algorithmically matches them to our map database features and attributes. Once matched, the address in our map database that is in the closest proximity to the input coordinates is returned to the user, or can be used by an application to estimate where a user is by interacting with a POI database.
- Viewport
Our Viewport web service is intended to be used in conjunction with our other web services. It returns descriptive information about the content and services that are returned to the user, such as the software version being used, whether or not further zoom levels are available, the version of the traffic model being used, and copyright information.
- Initialize
The Initialize web service works with the Viewport web service, providing the full text and icons for display of copyright information.
You can learn more about the web services offered through our Map Toolkit API by reading our online documentation or by making web calls through our interactive API Explorer

Bond Yields Trend Lower; Investment Fairness: Best of Kass
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners is known for his accurate stock market calls and keen insights into the economy, which he shares with RealMoney Pro readers in his daily trading diary.
Among the posts this past week were items about why bond yields are continuing to trend lower, the uneven playing field for investors and the inquiry into Ocwen.
Please click here for information about subscribing to RealMoney Pro.
Bond Yields Continue to Trend Lower
Despite some positive domestic economic releases, bond yields continue to trend lower this week -- the yield on the 10-year U.S. note is back down to 2.67% -- and the gap between rising P/E ratios and the market's message of future subpar domestic economic growth continues as well. Several reasons why the (beginning-of-the-year) consensus expectations of rising fixed-income yields continue to be wrong include:
- Liability-driven pension plan buying.
- There is a developing correlation (over the near term) between rising bond prices (and lower yields) and declining equity prices. So if a stock market correction develops, bond prices will likely climb (and yields will likely continue to contract).
- Evidence that the important housing sector continues to pause and the continued ratcheting down of domestic economic growth forecasts for the first six months of 2014.
- Competition from surprisingly low European yields, as the European Central Bank considers the start of a broad-based asset purchases and other conventional and unconventional easing policies.
- Demographic trend support (as the maturing baby boomers seek the safety of income).
- The failure of trickle-down economics to support the stead of the middle class (who are still experiencing only modest income gains).
- Fear that accelerating inflation -- the CRB index is up 11% year-to-date -- will impede growth.
- Rising fear of geopolitical risk (now in the Ukraine) is putting a flight-to-quality bid under bond prices.
- Growing evidence that the recovery in the Japan and China's economies are more muted than previously expected.
At the time of original publication, Kass was long TBF, BTT, BKN, ETX, VCV, VPV, VGM, NAD, NMA, NMO, NRK, NPI, NPM, NQU and NQS; short TLT, BAC, WFC and JPM.
A Twisted Sense of Investment Fairness
Originally published on Wednesday, April 23, at 9:27 a.m. EDT.
Ocwen Probe Ramped Up
Originally published on Tuesday, April 22, at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
At the core of the probe is that, according to Lawskym, "Hubzu appears to be charging auction fees on Ocwen-serviced properties that are up to three times the fees charged to non-Ocwen customers." Those fees "ultimately get passed on to the investors and sturgugling borrowers who are typically trying to mitigate their losses and are not involved in the selection of Hubzu as the host site." Ocwen has responded to the probe by saying that it is fully cooperating and it plans to "fully address the questions raised by the DFS in our response to the letter, which we will plan to provide by April 28." Ocwen's shares traded lower on the news. I have several observations:
- I expect the company to deal directly with the New York Department of Financial Services rather than making public statements and being tried in the court of public opinion.
- It is unclear how many homes Lawsky's claims address. My guess is that the tripling in fees refers to a small group of homes.
- My belief is that if Hubzu charges more to properties serviced by Ocwen, it likely has to do with additional services provided compared to non-Ocwen properties by Altisource.
