The University of Sheffield (informally Sheffield University) is a research university in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It received its royal charter in 1905 as successor to Sheffield Medical School (1828) and University College of Sheffield (1897). As one of the original red brick universities, it is also a member of the prestigious Russell Group of research-intensive universities.
The University of Sheffield is widely recognized as a leading research and teaching university in the UK and in the world.[3][4][5][6] In 2014, QS World University Rankings[7] placed Sheffield as the 69th university worldwide and 12th in the UK. In 2011, Sheffield was named 'University of the Year' in the Times Higher Education awards.[8] The latest Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2014 ranked the University of Sheffield 1st for student experience, social life, university facilities and accommodation, among other categories.
The university had more than 17000 undergraduate and around 9000 postgraduate students in 2012.[9] Its annual income for 2012-13 was £479.8 million, with an expenditure of £465.0 million, resulting in a surplus of £14.8 million.[1]
The University of Sheffield was originally formed by the merger of three colleges. The Sheffield School of Medicine was founded in 1828, followed in 1879[10] by the opening of Firth College, which developed out of the Cambridge University Extension Movement scheme, by Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer, to teach arts and science subjects.[11] Firth College then helped to fund the opening of the Sheffield Technical School in 1884 to teach applied science, the only major faculty the existing colleges did not cover. The three institutions merged in 1897 to form the University College of Sheffield.[11] Sheffield is one of the six red brick universities.
It was originally envisaged that the University College would join Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds as the fourth member of the federal Victoria University. However, the Victoria University began to split up before this could happen and so the University College of Sheffield received its own Royal Charter in 1905 and became the University of Sheffield.
The arms of the University blazoned Azure, A gold-edged book inscribed with the Latin Disce Doce (Learn and Teach), A sheaf of eight silver arrows on either side (from the arms of the city), The Crown of Success and The White Rose of York, with a scroll carrying the motto Rerum cognoscere causas (To Discover the Causes of Things). The University's logo, consists of a redrawn version of the Coat of Arms and the name of the institution, is introduced in 2005, the centenary year of the University. However, the Coat of Arms should not be confused with the logo.
From 363 full-time students and 71 staff in 1905, the University grew slowly until the 1950s and 1960s when it began to expand rapidly. Many new buildings (including the famous Arts Tower and the Main Library) were built and student numbers increased to their present levels of just under 26,000. In 1987 the University began to collaborate with its once would-be partners of the Victoria University by co-founding the Northern Consortium; a coalition for the education and recruitment of international students.
In 1995, the University took over the Sheffield and North Trent College of Nursing and Midwifery, which greatly increased the size of the medical faculty. In 2005, the South Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority announced that it would split the training between Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University – however, the University decided to pull out of providing preregistration nursing and midwifery training due to "costs and operational difficulties".[12]
The University of Sheffield is not a campus university, though most of its buildings are located in fairly close proximity to each other. The centre of the University's presence lies one mile to the west of Sheffield city centre, where there is a mile-long collection of buildings belonging almost entirely to the University. This area includes the Sheffield Students' Union (housed next door to University House), the Octagon Centre, Firth Court, the Geography and Planning building, the Alfred Denny Building (housing natural sciences, the Departments of Animal and Plant Sciences and Biology, and including a small museum), the Dainton and Richard Roberts Buildings and the Hicks Building. The Grade II*-listed library and Arts Tower are also located in this cluster. The Arts Tower houses one of Europe's few surviving examples of a Paternoster lift. A concourse under the main road (the A57) allows students to easily move between these buildings. Amongst the more recent additions to the universities estate are The Information Commons, opened in 2007, The Soundhouse (Carey Jones Architects and Jefferson Sheard Architects 2008) and the Jessop West building (2009), the first UK project by renowned Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton.[13] In addition, throughout 2010 the Western Bank Library received a £3.3m restoration and refurbishment, the University of Sheffield Union of Students underwent a £5m rebuild, and work commenced on a multimillion pound refurbishment of the grade II* listed Arts Tower to extend its lifespan by 30 years.[14]
The Octagon Centre is a multi-purpose conference centre and music venue situated at the Western Bank campus, and is joined by a skyway to University House. The Octagon Centre comprises an eight-sided auditorium with a capacity of 1600, offices, meeting rooms, and a lounge with bar and patio. The Octagon Centre consists of a main auditorium known as the Convocation Hall, with offices and meeting rooms in corridors across two floors at a lower elevation on the southern side of the building, and a bar lounge. All of these areas are connected by a foyer entrance block. The building is connected to University House by a footbridge, offering access to University House's catering facilities.
Firth Court is the main administrative centre for the University of Sheffield, stands at the heart of the University precinct on Western Bank. It originally housed the Arts, Science and Medicine departments, while it is currently home to the Department for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and Biomedical Science. The building was opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1905, and is named after Mark Firth.
The Dainton Building, houses the Department of Chemistry and Faculty of Sciences, is named after Sheffield academic chemist and university chancellor Frederick Sydney Dainton. The East Wing of Dainton Building was renamed Richard Roberts Building after Nobel Laureate and University graduate Richard Roberts.
The Hicks Building is a building named after William Mitchinson Hicks, a British mathematician and physicist who spent most of his career at Sheffield, contributing to the development of the university. It houses the departments of Physics and Astronomy, the Chemistry and Physics Workshop and the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The Building is in three sections, including a taller building clad in red-brick, a shorter fully linked section clad in blue tiles and glass, and a section facing the University Concourse.
The Arts Tower is a Grade II* listed building opened in 1966. It was the tallest in Sheffield from 1965 to 2010, and is the tallest university building in the UK. The building, previously housed several academic departments, is now mainly an administration block. A bridge at the mezzanine level links the tower to Western Bank Library. The two buildings are intended to be viewed together. Formerly known as the University Library, the Western Bank Library was the main library of the University of Sheffield until the Information Commons was established. The Grade II*-listed library is home to 25,000 rare books and 150 special collections.
To the east lies St George's Campus, named after St George's Church (now a lecture theatre and postgraduate residence). The campus is centred on Mappin Street, home to a number of University buildings, including the Faculty of Engineering (partly housed in the Grade II-listed Mappin Building) and the University of Sheffield School of Management and Department of Computer Science. The University also maintains the Turner Museum of Glass in this area. The University recently converted the listed old Victorian Jessop Hospital for Women buildings into the new home of the Department of Music. The adjacent Edwardian buildings and a large vacant plot of land opposite St George's Church are awaiting development as and when funding permits. The grade II listed Edwardian wing of the Jessop Hospital is being demolished to be replaced by a new £81 million building for the Faculty of Engineering.[15]
The Sir Frederick Mappin Building is a grade II-listed building in an area known as the St George's Complex. The building houses much of the Faculty of Engineering and St George's IT centre. The oldest part of the building, the former Technical School, now lies in the centre of the building. The extensive Mappin Street frontage includes the main entrance, the John Carr Library and Mappin Hall, and is connected to the Technical School by a bridge.
Further west lies Weston Park, the Weston Park Museum, the Harold Cantor Gallery, sports facilities in the Crookesmoor area, and the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health around the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (although these subjects are taught in the city's extensive teaching hospitals under the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and throughout South Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire). It is in this area that the new £12m Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN), opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in November 2010, is located.[16]
Further west still lie the University halls of residence. These comprise Tapton Hall of Residence (now vacant awaiting redevelopment into private housing), The Endcliffe Student Village comprising the established Halifax and Stephenson Halls (although much of the Halifax Hall has been converted to conferencing rooms), Endcliffe Vale Flats, Crescent Flats, Crewe Flats, and newly built (2007) Burbage, Stanage, Howden, Froggatt, Millstone, Rivelin, Yarncliffe, Birchen, Curbar, Cratcliffe, Lawrencefield and Derwent, as well as University owned private houses. A new student village was completed (but not fully occupied) for the 2009/10 academic year with 1200 beds on the site of the former Ranmoor Halls of Residence, now known as the Ranmoor Village. Student accommodation in both the Endcliffe and Ranmoor villages is rented out during the summer recess to visiting conference delegations etc.
The Manvers campus, at Wath-on-Dearne between Rotherham and Barnsley, was where the majority of nursing was taught, but this has now been mothballed.
The University has five faculties[17] plus an International Faculty in Thessaloniki, Greece.[17]
There are several bodies which govern the University.
The University Executive Board, whose members are:
The Court is a large body which fosters relations between the University and the community, and includes lay members. Ex-officio members of the Court include all the MPs of Sheffield, the Bishops of Sheffield and Hallam, and the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police.[18] It also includes representatives of professional bodies such as the Arts Council, Royal Society and the General Medical Council.[19]
The Council manages the University's business side (finance and property).[18]
The Senate manages the academic side of the University. It is the highest academic authority of the University.[18]
The brand (encompassing the visual identity) is centred on the theme of "discovery", led by the Latin motto from the coat of arms "Rerum Cognoscere Causas" – "to discover the causes of things". It has been applied across print, screen and other areas such as signage, vehicle livery and merchandising. The project was key to the University's Marketing Department receiving "HEIST Marketing Team of the Year, 2005".[20]

The University of Sheffield has been described by The Times as one of the powerhouses of British higher education.[27] The University is a member of the Russell Group, the European University Association, the Worldwide Universities Network and the White Rose University Consortium.
In 2012, QS World University Rankings[7] placed Sheffield as the 66th university worldwide. The University has won Queen's Anniversary Prizes in 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2007.[28] It was also named the Sunday Times University of the Year in 2001 and 'University of the Year' in the 2011 Times Higher Education awards. The University of Sheffield is also in the UK's top 10 for research power, according to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, as well as being in the UK's top 10 universities according to the Shanghai Jiao Tong University's ranking of the top 500 universities worldwide. These results confirm the University's position among the top ten in the Russell Group, as 93% of the research submitted are classed as "internationally recognised" or "world-leading". The university's business school is one of only five Russell Group business schools to have the internationally recognised Triple Crown accreditation.
Furthermore, The Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2013 ranks Sheffield as third overall in the country. It was ranked first for its social life, first for the 'university most people would recommend to a friend', second for library facilities and accommodation.
Major research partners and clients include Boeing, Rolls Royce, Siemens, Unilever, Boots, AstraZeneca, GSK, ICI, and Slazenger, as well as UK and overseas government agencies and charitable foundations. As an example, the Department of Architecture, under the guidance of Professor Jeremy Till, are currently involved in a research project with development and disaster relief charity Article 25 to investigate the possibilities of building sustainably in arid regions.The University also works with local small and medium enterprises through the dedicated physical spaces at the Sheffield Bioincubator and Kroto Innovation Centre.
For many years the University has been engaged in theological publishing through Sheffield Academic Press and JSOT Press.
The University of Sheffield is also a partner organisation in Higher Futures, a collaborative association of institutions set up under the government's Lifelong Learning Networks initiative, to co-ordinate vocational and work-based education.[29]
As well as the research carried out in departments, the university has 84 specialised research centres or institutes.[30] The last Teaching Quality Assessment awarded Sheffield University grades of "excellent" in 29 subject areas, a record equalled by only a few other UK universities.
The University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre is run in partnership with Boeing, which conducts research projects funded by arms manufacturers such as BAE Systems.[31] In 2008, the University partnered with BAE Systems to launch a new Centre for Research in Active Control which aimed to improve the stealth of BAE Systems' submarines.[32] In 2012 the Students Union voted in favour of the University ending all links with the arms trade.[33]
The University of Sheffield Students' Union has been rated as the best in the UK by the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey for 5 years in-a-row (2009-2013). It was founded in 1906 and consists of two bars (Bar One – which has a book-able function room with its own bar, The Raynor Lounge – and The Interval); three club venues (Fusion, Foundry and Studio); and coffee shops, restaurants, shops, and the student run cinema Film Unit. There is also a student radio station called Forge Radio and a newspaper called Forge Press, which are run under the umbrella of 'Forge Media'. The Union has nearly three hundred student societies and nearly fifty sports teams.
In November 2009 a development project began to redevelop the Students' Union building, funded by £5m by the HEFCE, which was completed and re-opened in September 2010. Works centred on improving circulation around the building by aligning previously disjointed floors, improving internal access between the Union building and neighbouring University House, and constructing a striking new entrance and lobby that incorporates the university's traditional colours of black and gold.
During 2012-13 the Students' Union went under a further redevelopment costing £20 million which led to the refurbishment of the University House. University House, which was one of the first glass curtain walled buildings in the world when it was completed in 1963, has now been integrated with the University's Students' Union – the number one in the UK - in one single building.[34]
The union has an active volunteering and charity community. The RAG (Raising and Giving society) raised over £180,000 in 2011-12, through general fundraising and several larger events; the union is host to the world's largest student organized charity hitchhike, Bummit, which runs every year.[35] Another RAG tradition is Spiderwalk, a 12.5-mile trek through the city and the Peak District through the night; other societies run fund-raising activities throughout the night, such as a 24-hour role-playing event. The Union's "SheffieldVolunteering" scheme is one of the country's most active and well-recognised student volunteering schemes, with over 26,269 hours logged in 2011-12, and has won various national acclaims over the years.[36]
The annual "Varsity Challenge" takes place between teams from the University and its rival Sheffield Hallam University. The University has 26 varsity sports (sports contested in varsity). The University sports colours are black and gold. The University of Sheffield won the Varsity competition in 2013, beating Sheffield Hallam University for the first time in ten years.[37]
The University's Faculty of Pure Science may boast an association with five Nobel Prizes, two for the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology:
And three to its Department of Chemistry:
In November 2013, for the first time in history, the Court of Appeal had an all-Sheffield alumni bench. The judges sitting were Lord Justice Maurice Kay (LLB Law, 1964; PhD Law, 1971 and Hon LLD, 2003), Lady Justice Anne Rafferty (LLB Law, 1971 and Hon LLD, 2005) and Lady Justice Julia Macur (LLB Law, 1978).[38] This event was also extremely significant because outside Oxford and Cambridge, Sheffield now has the record for the highest number of graduates appointed to the bench above any other UK University.
There are two official histories of the university:

Yahoo buys smartphone photo app maker GhostBird
Published on Jun 13, 2013 8:14 AM
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Yahoo on Wednesday announced it has bought a startup that makes picture-taking applications for iPhones to enhance its Flickr photo service.
Yahoo did not disclose how much it paid for GhostBird Software, the company behind KitCam and PhotoForge2 apps for Apple's popular smartphones.
"We'll integrate many of the mobile photography experiences from GhostBird into our Flickr apps," Yahoo said in a brief email statement.
People who have installed KitCam or PhotoForge2 apps on iPhones will still be able to use the mini-programs, but Yahoo yanked them from Apple's online App Store and planned no updates for the future.

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

The scientists focused on dendrites, the crooked branches of neurons that carry impulses toward the body of the nerve cell, and synapses, the places where impulses pass from neuron to neuron. Injury to dendrites ?characterized by swelling or beading, loss of dendrite spines, and reduction in size ?is seen in HIV-1-associated dementia and Alzheimer's.
In laboratory studies, brain cells and slices were exposed to platelet-activating factor, or PAF, a compound that promotes inflammation and plays many roles in the brain. It can be produced by neurons and takes part in the working of synapses, including activity associated with learning and remembering. It also is produced by immune cells during inflammation. The amount of PAF in the brain increases dramatically in HIV-1-associated dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
"We found that disease makes dendrites more vulnerable to excitotoxicity," said Matthew J. Bellizzi, a researcher and student in the M.D./Ph.D. program at the Medical Center and corresponding author of the journal article. "We also found that damage to the dendrites may not require abnormal glutamate exposure."
The lab studies showed that elevated levels of PAF promoted beading on dendrites and injury to synapses following bursts of synaptic activity similar to those thought to be involved in learning and memory.
"This mechanism does not just apply to HIV," Gelbard said. "It applies to Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's and any neurodegenerative diseases that have synaptic dysfunction with inflammation, which is virtually all of them."
In lab studies, brain cells were treated with diazoxide, a drug investigated for use in ischemic heart disease and strokes. Pretreatment before exposure to PAF prevented dendritic beading and preserved synaptic functions, the studies showed.
"Stressing the cells with small amounts could tri

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.

'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

VIVUS Board And Management Team Successfully Executing Plan To Unlock The Full Potential Of Qsymia
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VIVUS, Inc. (Nasdaq:VVUS) (the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing innovative, next-generation therapies to address unmet needs in obesity and sexual health, today responded to First Manhattan Co.'s (FMC) July 2, 2013 open letter to VIVUS stockholders:
THESE ARE THE FACTS. PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT. VOTE FOR THE VIVUS DIRECTOR NOMINEES ON THE GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY. VIVUS stockholders are reminded that their vote is extremely important, no matter how many or how few shares they own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you have an opportunity to protect your investment in VIVUS by voting the GOLD proxy card. Please do not return or otherwise vote any white proxy card sent to you by FMC. If stockholders have any questions or would like assistance in voting the GOLD proxy card please contact: MORROW & CO., LLC Call Toll Free: (800) 607-0088 Call Collect: (203) 658-9400 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is serving as financial advisor, Hogan Lovells US LLP is serving as legal advisor, and Morrow & Co., LLC is serving as proxy solicitor to the Company.While the VIVUS Board and management team continue to deliver real results and execute on a real plan, FMC continues to make promises. FMC's "plan" – to the extent they have one – appears to revolve solely around doing things that the VIVUS Board and management team are already doing, "fixing" things that aren't broken, or making wholesale changes without an understanding of the challenges of our business and industry. FMC's nominees just do not have the necessary experience. Bottom line: When you cut through FMC's rhetoric, all they are really offering is uncertainty and delay.
VIVUS's current Board and management team are successfully doing everything FMC is suggesting needs to be done – why let them turn back the clock and further delay the success of Qsymia? FMC promises to "re-launch" Qsymia ® (phentermine and topiramate extended-release) capsules CIV if their director nominees are elected. We believe doing so would, at best, set back our commercialization progress by six months to a year, or, at worst, spoil the Qsymia opportunity forever. Don't be fooled by FMC's supposed "plan" for VIVUS. They offer no new plan, only uncertainty and delay.
VIVUS's plan to unlock the full potential of Qsymia is successfully being guided by our highly qualified and experienced management team. Consider these facts:
- Qsymia does not need to be "re-launched" and in fact, VIVUS is ahead of schedule on its retail strategy for Qsymia. We recently launched Qsymia in approximately 8,000 certified retail pharmacies and are executing additional strategies to support our ongoing rollout to customers. For example, we are in the midst of critical discussions with large pharmaceutical companies to effectively increase our primary care physician outreach for Qsymia. Our Board has key industry relationships as well as valuable deal experience that we are leveraging in these ongoing discussions. We are also diligently working with the FDA on our initial direct to consumer (DTC) advertising campaign, which we will launch in Fall 2013.
- VIVUS is making significant progress in broadening reimbursement coverage. We recently amended our agreements with the country's two largest pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), Express Scripts and Medco Health Solutions, whereby Qsymia will be available in either a tier-2 or tier-3 position. Under the amended agreements, patients covered by Express Scripts and Medco with benefits where Qsymia is offered on tier-2 should expect to pay an estimated $25.00 to $30.00 for their co-payment for a monthly prescription of Qsymia. Currently, approximately 36% of the 160 million people in the U.S. with private or self-insurance now have access to Qsymia and our goal for 2013 is to increase access to at least 50%. Qsymia is also available to millions of people covered by the Veterans Administration at a $9 copay.
- VIVUS is making significant progress in establishing medical obesity as a drug treatment category. On the heels of a recent publication demonstrating the cost savings to Medicare associated with 10% weight loss, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) for the first time adopted pharmacologic treatments as a first-line method of managing comorbidities in obese patients. In addition, just last month, the American Medical Association (AMA) recognized obesity as a medical disease for the first time, yet another example of the heightened attention that this treatment category is receiving and further illustrating why we cannot afford to allow FMC to disrupt our momentum at this critical juncture and cause Qsymia to lose its first-mover advantage.
- VIVUS is successfully executing a Euro-centric strategy. We are focused on obtaining regulatory approval in the European Union (EU) for Qsiva™ (phentermine and topiramate extended-release) (the Qsymia trade name in Europe) and we recently obtained European Union approval for SPEDRA™ (avanafil) (the STENDRA™ trade name in Europe).
- The current VIVUS Board and management team have critical institutional knowledge of Qsymia. The current VIVUS Board and management team have successfully achieved significant milestones including FDA approval to modify the highly restrictive REMS for Qsymia. The current VIVUS Board and management team also have the valuable relationships with regulators, medical associations, payors, policy makers, medical key opinion leaders, prescribing physicians, and large pharmaceutical companies – that are invaluable at this critical juncture.
- Investors have shown confidence in VIVUS and its management by committing more than $350 million to the Company over the last four months. Your management team has capitalized VIVUS for success. With more than $400 million of pro forma cash and short-term investments at March 31, 2013, reflecting recent financings, we are well-positioned to execute our commercial strategy and negotiate with large pharmaceutical companies from a position of strength.

WOD Warrior developer learns there's strength in branding
What should a mobile fitness app have in common with McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Microsoft too?
Powerful branding.
That's the strongest message that came out of developer Darin Stromberg's design consultation with Microsoft design lead Dave Crawford.
And — despite our invoking three of the top five brands on the planet — building a strong brand need not be a daunting exercise in complexity or require payments to pricey branding experts. For an app developer, branding can be as easy as "using a good set of colours, a simple font, and a rigid way of laying things out," Dave says.
WOD Warrior, before
After winning the design consult in a recent DVLUP contest, Darin looked forward to a brisk design workout for WOD Warrior, his CrossFit app for Windows Phone. Going into the session with Dave, one of Darin's main goals was to make the app "more fluid [and] easier to navigate."
Dave's redesign regimen for WOD Warrior met the developer's goal but also pushed beyond it. "Branding is very important," Dave says. "It's what people attach to. So make sure you focus on establishing a strong brand."
His branding changes for WOD Warrior involved a new font, a unique colour scheme, and text styles "to tie it all together."
"My app looked like [a core] OS app," Darin acknowledges. "There wasn't really any brand behind it."
Dave's next exercise for WOD Warrior was to reorganise the information, making it more consumable and more focused on the app's main purpose. While he gave a thumbs-up to the app's use of a monthly calendar for keeping track of user workouts, he urged Darin not to stop there.
"Perhaps do something fun here," Dave says in the video, "with a timeline where each one of these points is one of your workouts." The timeline "makes it a little cleaner, a little bit easier to consume as well," he explains.
WOD Warrior, after
Dave sourced a colour palette from Adobe Kuler and modified the palette subtly to align it with colours Darin was already using in WOD Warrior. The new colour scheme features backgrounds in black and dark greys, green and blue "power colours," and text in shades of grey and white.
The font Exo, available free from the Font Squirrel website, replaced WOD Warrior's previous font. Exo is available in several weights, each with a true italic version.
But there was one element of the old WOD Warrior that Dave suggested the developer preserve and, in fact, run with. "You can still integrate the centurion image that you bought. It's a really strong and powerful tile," he told Darin. "It would be great to see that pulled into the rest of the app."
Overall, WOD Warrior's new look "makes it all a lot calmer and a lot clearer to read," Dave notes.
Before: Just a calendar |
After: A timeline option for calendar data |
WOD Warrior's developer walked away from his design consultation with one strong impression.
"The main thing I learned was that you need to brand your app," says Darin, founder of app publisher Marbic Productions. "I've written apps trying to mimic the look and feel of the system Windows Phone-type apps. But you want to make your app memorable so that your users enjoy using it and want to keep using it."
He also offers a piece of advice for other developers: "Always take advantage of the opportunities that DVLUP offers. DVLUP really is for the developers and helping them achieve success."
And he should know. Since the redesign, the download and active-users numbers for WOD Warrior have both doubled.
The takeaways: Beyond brand
In addition to Dave's critical message about the importance of branding, the WOD Warrior session made these points:
- Rework your app to focus on its one or two standout functions, and present other functions as supplemental features.
- Consider representing "a restricted set" of menu selections with radio buttons.
Mix various weights and styles of text in ways that will make your app more consumable to users. For more on this topic, check out Text and fonts for Windows Phone.
- Use icons where appropriate. Icons are available for free from many sources. To get started, check out sites such asThe Noun Project or explore the Segoe UI Symbol font in Microsoft Windows 8.
- Explore the Application Bar and learn how to leverage it to create a better experience for your users. In the redesigned WOD Warrior, for example, users have an App Bar for flicking between the calendar and timeline views.
Resources to enhance your Windows Phone apps
A video of Dave Crawford's Practical Design for Windows Developers session, from Microsoft Build 2014, covers a ton of design-related ground. Also available, for download, are the slides from the session (note: 28-MB PPTX file). Slides 42 (branding), 47 (colour palettes), 63 (icons), and 74-86 (displaying information) touch on specific topics covered in this consultation.
In the consultation video, Dave also mentions or alludes to many useful resources. You can find colour palettes, trends, and wheels on the Adobe Kuler site as well as on COLOURlovers. Font Squirrel is a great resource for fonts, as are The Noun Project for icons and other symbols and DinPattern for patterns.
Additional guidance for designing great apps is available in the Design Library of the Windows Phone Dev Center. Also consult Design.windows.com, and look for sources of inspiration in our Design Gallery.
Ready to improve the design and UX of your own Windows Phone app? Design consultations are available as rewards from ourDVLUP programme, including an introductoryone-hour consultation with the experts from Toledo Design. Also be sure to check out the new Live Tile and Splash Screen Design Consultation reward.

Through research, advocacy and action, Designmatters strives to engage students, faculty and staff in an ongoing exploration of the links between design and issues of social and humanitarian importance.
We believe that design, responsibly conceived and applied, can contribute to solving such contemporary challenges as sustainable development and providing for basic needs and services, including adequate public health, safety, education, housing and transportation.
We seek to forge collaborations with individuals, educational and cultural institutions, industry, community agencies and international organizations that yield tangible solutions to contemporary social challenges.
Founded in 1930, Art Center College of Design has a long-standing tradition of teaching design with real-world relevance. This approach gained new focus and intensity in 2001 with the inception of the college-wide Designmatters Initiative, which oversees an ongoing portfolio of projects that address the convergence between design, business practices and social responsibility. Under the direction of the International Initiatives Department at Art Center, Designmatters is an effective model of educational engagement that connects academic practices to design-based explorations of real-world issues. In recognition of Designmatters' service to society, Art Center is the first design school to receive Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status at the United Nations and Organization of American States. Designmatters' key areas of inquiry include issues of public policy, human sustainable development, global healthcare and social entrepreneurship as these relate to the design disciplines.

Housework: bane of everybody's lives. Fact. I mean, no one actually enjoys dusting and polishing do they? So this gadget is sure to bring much happiness: RoboMop is a battery powered 8.5 centimetre dusting machine, replete with electro static pad no less. It's a strange contraption that looks as if the design team were visited by alien spacecraft shortly before receiving their brief, and were thus inspired to create what looks like a flying saucer crossed between a hovercraft that cleans. Any hard surface, apparently. And with 98% accuracy too. And if you're not sold already? The RoboMop could be yours for just £29.99. Beam me up Mr Pledge! [Jenna C-B]

SILVER SPRING, Md. and Danbury, Conn., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) announced that Discovery Health and its new program, DISEASE DETECTIVES, will serve as media and program partners for Rare Disease Day on February 28, 2010. This year represents the second U.S. observance of Rare Disease Day, an event designed to call attention to the public health issues associated with rare diseases affecting nearly 30 million Americans and countless others worldwide. In the United States, "rare" refers to diseases plaguing fewer than 200,000 Americans - and according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) there are nearly 7,000 such diseases. NORD and its 150 member organizations serve as advocates for these patients by heightening awareness of their conditions and the need for increased research funding for effective treatments. Although progress has been made in recent years, approximately 15 million Americans have rare diseases for which there still is no approved treatment.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081114/NEF006LOGO )
"NORD is the voice of the rare disease community in the U.S., and Rare Disease Day provides an opportunity to focus attention on certain problems that people with rare diseases have in common," said NORD president and CEO Peter L. Saltonstall. "For instance, studies have shown that it typically takes several years to get an accurate diagnosis. In addition, most rare diseases have no appro

Shrews stretched for Bantams clash
Paul Simpson will call upon every available body for the encounter with teams now able to include seven substitutes on their bench. Goalkeeper Chris Neal (groin) and midfielder Craig Disley (knee) are both looking at three weeks on the sidelines, while striker Omer Riza (ankle), midfielder Terry Dunfield (shoulder), defender Mike Jackson (bone bruising) and keeper Glyn Garner (shoulder) are all long-term absentees. Midfielder Lewis Neal made the bench for last weekend's 3-1 win at Accrington after completing his recovery from an ankle injury and he will again be available. Loan signing Steve Phillips is expected to make his home debut between the sticks having made his first start for the club at the Crown Ground.

You better trust the compiler before yourself. :-) The compiler is usually right, even this time. The type of itsName is 'char[20]', not 'char *'. Even so, that assignment is wrong on more than one level. Most importantly, that is not how you do to fill an array with the contents of another array. For that you need strcpy() or a loop assigning the array elements element-wise. If you tell us what you are trying to accomplish, perhaps we can be of more help? Björn
