The Nichols Building, in pictures!
The other day, we popped into The Nichols Building for the first time. Being quite late in the day, it was nice and quiet for looking round, and I managed to take lots of photos too!
The Nichols Building itself dates from the mid 1800s and was originally used as a grocery wholesalers. In more recent years it was used as an antiques and auction house, and now in 2011 has been fully refurbished as an open-plan shopping emporium. The first floor showroom is full of individual units, featuring all of my favourite kind of stuff – antiques, arts and crafts. Plus there is a tea room, with cakes!
The main room is HUGE, with lots of small independent retailers.
I was really pleased to see just how big the floor space was, and how much stuff there was to look at! There are loads of units of varying sizes, plus loads of cabinets with trinkets and nice little things.
A selection of my greetings cards are stocked by the lovely Claira at the 'Vertiline in Love' boutique.
One of the things which really struck us about The Nichols Building, is that all of the individual unit holders has taken a real pride in how their corner of the room looks. There isn't one unit that lets the look of the place down. It's quite a refreshing change from some of the other (much loved, but rather neglected) emporiums around Sheffield. Seriously, this place looks amazing!
There is a very well stocked book section, with lots of vintage stock, plus books of local interest.
There are many other cabinets and units I didn't get a chance to photograph, including a shop called 'Barely Worn' which is up on the next level of the building, and sells amongst other things, beautiful vintage wedding dressings.
There is also a gallery and exhibition space at the back of the main room, plus a photography studio.
I hoping it won't be long till we go back on our next trip to The Nichols Building…I didn't even spend any money this time! If you like arts, crafts and vintage type stuff and haven't been yet, I would really recommend a little visit!
Opening hours are –
Monday – Closed
Tuesday to Friday – 11am – 6pm
Saturday – 10am – 5pm
Sunday – 10am – 4pm

About the Vineyard...This block of the Haynes Vineyard, located in a cool pocket of the southeastern Napa Valley, is a part of California wine- making history. Mt. George, the once-active volcano that coated this region with its characteristic layer of volcanic soils, looms to the north, and in the upper blocks of Haynes, original vines, planted in 1966 by Pat and Duncan Haynes, continue to produce balanced, fully-ripened Chardonnay, full of rich fruit flavors, an enthralling mineral component, and with extraordinary natural acidity. Fernando Delgado has lived on and managed the care for this vineyard since 1970. The vines are from an old Wente selection, yielding small berries and clusters and believed to have been first brought to California by Paul Masson from Louis Latour�s Corton Charlemagne vineyard. The Haynes Vineyard, in a part of Napa little known to the world at large but oft-lauded by locals, attracted none other than the great Andre Tchelistcheff, who believed strongly in this vineyard�s potential to make great wines and was an early winemaker on the property. Today, Delgado continues to custom prune each of these knobby, old, head-trained vines, expertly choosing the healthiest and strongest canes to support yet another vintage of profound Chardonnay.About the Vintage...The weather in 2007 remained cool and steady throughout August and September, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness levels without sacrificing acidity, resulting in wines that come close to that difficult to realize platonic point of balance between power and grace, depth and vivacity. This Chardonnay, as usual, came in after much of our Pinot Noir, with intense flavors and a high, balanced acidity. The vintage shows great power in its youth, but the structure of the wine promises a long, brilliant life in the cellar, with an intense and lingering minerality already showing through.About the Wine...We gently pressed the grapes as whole clusters, settled and fermented entirely in French cooperage, mostly new. We fermented with native yeast, and allowed the wines an extensive aging period, sur lees, bottling after a total of 18 months in barrel. The bright and balanced acidity of the Haynes Chardonnay encouraged a complete malolactic fermentation, allowing us to bottle the wine unfiltered. 79 cases produced.Tasting Notes...The initial nose of tropical fruits, citrus zest, apple and ripened Asian pears, is touched with straw, honey, and a softened whiff of oak and cedar. The nose opens further to a rich melange of spicy melon, figs, dates, and meringue. The palate is immediately bright and fresh, and the mouth-feel is significant and rich, expansive and increasing in intensity. Pineapple and tangerine notes emerge from the full-bodied mid-palate. The finish is a lengthy and powerful amalgamation of ripe fruit, baking and holiday spices and mouth-filling minerality with a soft, tannic grip. The nose continues to evolve, revealing nuances throughout the finish.

Many of us learn to swim at a young age, either through private lessons or through lessons at school, however when it comes to getting or keeping fit, it's much more common to hear of people going running or cycling than hitting the swimming pool. Swimming, however, has some fantastic health benefits and, in our opinion, should always be considered a vital part of any health or fitness plan. As such, we thought we'd take a look at exactly what the main health benefits of swimming are in order to encourage our readers to get in the pool!
Swimming, above all, is a fantastic all round way of exercising. An hour in the swimming pool will benefit both your body and your mind and, in addition, is a lot more fun than many forms of exercise are! Whether you're looking to get fit, lose weight or generally just maintain a level of fitness and activeness; there's no doubting that swimming is for you.
Looking at the health benefits of swimming; recent reports issued by the ASA (the national body for everything swimming related) have suggested that regular swimming can help to reduce the risk of chronic illnesses and is also likely to keep you generally feeling fit and well.
Due to the nature of swimming, which works the majority of your bodies muscles, your heart, your lungs and, in fact, most of your body; regular sessions in the pool are thought to reduce the risk of conditions such as heart disease, strokes and even type 2 diabetes. There's certainly the health benefits to be had from swimming and these go way beyond simply keeping fit.
In addition to these obvious health benefits of swimming; they're certainly not the only ones! It's said by many that swimming helps them to clear their mind and offers a sense of mental wellbeing. This, of course, is one of the many reasons why swimming is such a popular way of keeping fit and, when you combine both the physical and mental health benefits of the sport; you can clearly see why it's an activity which you should undoubtedly be undertaking if you want to stay active and in good health.
Whether you're simply looking for an activity to enable you to try something different to keep fit or are looking for something more suited to your needs (for example swimming is fantastic for those with conditions such as arthritis due to the support the water gives), the best thing to do is give it a try! You'll almost certainly find that you love swimming and that it helps to clear your head and generally keep you feeling in good health.
This guest post comes to you courtesy of Aqua Warehouse, a UK based suppliers of swimming spas for those wanting to swim at their own homes.

1922 architectural sketch received from Julie Halpern Isaacson in January 2014.
The materials in this collection represent various buildings and structures on the Augustana College campus. For more historical information about Augustana College, refer to Augustana…A Profession of Faith: A History of Augustana College 1860-1935 by Conrad Bergendoff and Coming of Age: A History of Augustana College 1935-1975 by Thomas Tredway. For a more detailed history of buildings at Augustana College, refer to An Historical Survey of the Augustana College Campus by Glen E. Brolander.
Augustana College moved to its present location in Rock Island, Illinois in 1875. The oldest still-standing building is Old Main, which was constructed in the 1880s. Several other buildings have either been torn down or repurposed over the course of the school's history.
In the early 1920s, Zion Hill was leveled to make room for several new seminary buildings including the Seminary dorm, the Seminary Library (now the Swenson Hall of Geosciences), and Founder's Hall.
Other buildings have been repurposed as the college's needs have changed. In the late 1970s, the former College Union became the Biology Building. Similarly, when the Thomas Tredway Library was built in 1991, the Denkmann Memorial Library was turned into a classroom building for foreign languages. In 2013, the Thomas Tredway Library was renovated and became the Center for Student Life.
In 1970, the John Deere Planetarium recieved the honor of being selected as a winner of the design competition sponsored by the national publication Colleges and Universities as one of the "16 outstanding examples of campus design for the '70's."
The Augustana College Buildings and Grouds collection measures 5 linear feet and is comprised of the following series:
The Augustana Memorial Ampitheater contains plans from 1953 for the building of an outdoor ampitheater to memorialize fallen soliders. It also contains correspondence relating to fundraisers and development plans as well as photographs and articles from the Augustana Observer.
The Center for Student Life series contains an invitation to the 2012 groundbreaking ceremony.
The Fine Arts series dates from 1953-1957 and 2002 and contains materials and pamplets regarding the building of the Bergendoff Hall of Fine Arts and Centennial Hall, the auditorium and concert hall.
The Gymnasiums series contains four subseries: The 1895 Gym, the 1916 Gym, Carver Physical Education Center, and the Pepsico Recreational Center.
The Library series is divided into two subseries: Denkmann Memorial Library and Thomas Tredway Library.
The Old Main series, 1884-1983 and undated, contains a brick from the building, sketches of Old Main, invitations to events in the building, information about Cable Hall, and blueprints from the 1959-1960 remodel.
The Residence Halls series consists of the following subseries:
The Sciences series is divided into the following subseries:
The Sound Recordings series contains audiocassette tapes and reel-to-reel audiotapes from the The Marker Dedication at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Paxton, IL commemorating Augustana College and Augustana Seminary, , September 22, 1957.
The Augustana College Buildings and Grounds collection covers a broad time period and many different subjects. The various buildings and locations are grouped into series according to the subject of its use. The series are arranged in alphabetical order and within each series, the subseries are arranged in chronological order.

London, 19 March, 2013 – Research published by Ricoh Europe reveals that, faced with an increasingly regulated and digital business environment, the majority of Europe's financial services organisations are concerned about the security of their documents. Less than half (47 per cent) of those surveyed within the financial services sector think their document security is better than it was in 2009 and more than a quarter (26 per cent) think it is actually worse. In addition, only a third are able to fully audit access to documents, with the majority therefore lacking control over who might be accessing potentially sensitive information. This is despite 63 per cent having document risk management targets in place.*
These findings come at a time when the industry, which has traditionally relied on manual and paper based approaches to processing information, is under increasing pressure to manage growing amounts of information, with customers demanding interaction through digital channels and the sector needing to keep pace with new technologies. Document processes in the financial services sector also need to comply with complex national and international regulations which are requiring document processes to be more transparent, enable stricter reporting, and allow for comprehensive audit trails.
"In the financial services sector – perhaps more than any other industry – the two worlds of digital and paper-based documents are colliding as regulatory change and evolving customer habits force organisations to rethink the way they manage critical information, fast," says Carsten Bruhn, Executive Vice President, Ricoh Europe. "This is one of the most heavily regulated of all industries, yet this struggle to overcome document security challenges highlights just how complex the effective management of document processes has become."
The study also reveals that, despite being an industry where customer service is a key competitive differentiator, only a small proportion of financial services organisations have overcome the challenges of ensuring their document processes enable customer responsiveness (26%), customer retention (35%) and obtaining new customers (36%).
"Customer-facing activities – including sales and marketing, billing, service and support – all rely on document processes for smooth operation and to free up time for customer interaction. If these processes are not working properly, customers may switch allegiance, and worse: they will tell others about their dissatisfaction. Businesses in the financial services sector need to do a thorough review of these processes, both paper and digital, to make sure they are effective, agile, and secure. Doing so will enable quick access to accurate information, meaning businesses can attract customers and keep them loyal, today and in the future," says Bruhn.
The research, the Ricoh Document Governance Index 2012, was conducted on behalf of Ricoh by Coleman Parkes Research. It reveals the extent to which new technologies are impacting the way businesses in Europe – including financial institutions – are managing information, including the business critical document processes that underpin everything from operations such as finance, HR and procurement to student records and admissions applications.

| About the Ricoh Document Governance Index 2012 |
A new perspective: Ricoh Document Governance Index 2012 is an independent research study conducted by Coleman Parkes Research and commissioned by Ricoh Europe PLC. It provides a fresh perspective into how business-critical document processes are being managed across Europe, and builds upon Ricoh's previous Indexes – the Ricoh Document Governance Index 2009 and the Ricoh Process Efficiency Index 2011.
The research focuses upon business-critical document processes – the core interactions in an organisation that occur regularly and repeatedly. They may be document-heavy but more importantly they have a direct impact upon businesses interactions with clients and employees. They include document processes within HR, financial management and reporting, procurement, accounts payable and accounts receivable.
The research consisted of 1075 interviews amongst C-level executives, Directors and other employees within large (1000+ employees), medium (500-999 employees) and small (fewer than 500 employees) organisations, located in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, The Nordics (Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark), Spain, Switzerland, the UK and Ireland.
The organisations are based within the education, legal, utilities/energy, healthcare, public sector, retail, manufacturing and financial services sectors. Qualitative interviews were also completed with European C-level executives to gain further insight into how they manage their business-critical document processes.

Standard Layout Classes and Trivially Copyable Types, Part II
Last updated Jan 1, 2003.
After explaining what standard layout classes are, this section will explore two other concepts: scalar types and trivially copyable classes.
Scalar Types
Scalar types include arithmetic types (integral types, floating types and bool), enumeration types, pointer types, pointer to member types, std::nullptr_t, and cv-qualified versions of these types. All scalar types are standard layout types, meaning their layout is specified. We will shortly discuss the importance of scalar types in the context object copying.
Byte-wise Copying of Objects
Certain standard functions (e.g., memcpy() and memmove()) and algorithms (e.g., std::copy()) can be used to copy objects by treating those objects as streams of bytes. This process can be useful for serializing objects, storing them in a database or when a C++ program transmits objects to a remote process. Byte-wise copying is guaranteed to work only if the object being copied has a trivially copyable type.
The C++11 standard also guarantees that for any object (other than a base-class subobject) of trivially copyable type T, the underlying bytes making up the object can be copied into an array of char or unsigned char (i.e., an array of bytes). If the content of that array is copied back into the object, the object shall subsequently hold its original value:
#define N sizeof(T) char buf[N]={0}; T obj; std::memcpy(buf, &obj, N); //change the value of the original object obj.set_a_new_state(12); std::memcpy(&obj, buf, N); //obj returns to its original state
This technique can also be used with two distinct objects of any trivially copyable type T. For example, if two pointers to T point to distinct T objects obj1 and obj2, where neither obj1 nor obj2 is a base-class subobject, if the underlying bytes making up obj1 are copied into obj2, obj2 shall subsequently hold the same value as obj1:
T* t1p = &obj1; T* t2p = obj2; std::memcpy(t1p, t2p, sizeof(T));
Byte-wise copying is used in every networking protocol and cross-language API (e.g., JNI).
Now that we've learned why trivially copyable types are so important, let's see what they are exactly.
Trivially Copyable Classes
A trivially copyable class is a class that:
- has no non-trivial copy constructors.
- has no non-trivial move constructors.
- has no non-trivial copy assignment operators.
- has no non-trivial move assignment operators.
- has a trivial destructor.
If the sequence "no non-trivial" sounds confusing, recall logic 101: double negation is redundant. Therefore, the cumbersome phrase "has no nontrivial x" is more or less interchangeable with "has trivial x".
In simpler words, a class whose four copy-or-move special member functions are all trivial, and whose destructor is also trivial — is a trivially copyable class. In particular, a trivially copyable class does not have virtual functions or virtual base classes. On that note, recall that deleted special member functions aren't trivial. Therefore, if a class has a deleted destructor or a deleted copy-or-move special member function, it's not a trivially copyable class.
All scalar types are trivially copyable types because they meet the above five requirements. This means that byte-wise copying of scalar variables is safe. Here's a slightly modified version of the previous code example that illustrates this point:
double obj1=15.66, obj2=0.5; double* t1p = &obj1; double* t2p = obj2; std::memcpy(t1p, t2p, sizeof(double));
After the memcpy() call, both obj1 and obj2 have the same value of 0.5.
Finally, a trivial class is a class that has a trivial default constructor and is trivially copyable.
In Conclusion
Standard layout classes are ones whose layout, in terms of their members' number and their relative ordering, is specified. Trivially copyable classes have standard layout. However, in addition they do not involve any special copying semantics (such as deep copying, copy-on-write, or even an implementation-defined copy constructor) so you can capture their state by copying them into byte arrays using byte-oriented copy functions and algorithms. Similarly, you can use byte-wise copying to assign the state of one object to another if both objects have the same type and they are non-base class objects of a trivially copyable type. Finally, scalar types are both trivially copyable and have standard layout. The importance of the scalar types concept is that standard layout objects are made up of members that are scalar types.

David Hobby, the Strobist, posted Nikon D600: Think Twice Before You Jump. Not only is the sync port missing but the flash sync speed being lowered from 1/250 sec to 1/200 sec. Canon not to be out done is introducing a new model with a syn speed of 1/180. This might not sound like much, but if you are trying to balance bright ambient light just makes it very hard or impossible.[br />Of course if you do not use a flash sync port or even use flash, this is not very important.

For those needing that one style of connector, Nikon and a dozen other company make low cost hot shoe adapters to give PC. I do a lot of flash work with off shoe speed lights and never use a PC connector so it would not impact me at all if I could not afford the $12 adapter.Regarding the 1/200 sync speed, depending on the distance, Focal Plane sync is available up to 1/4000 and 1/200, 1/3 stop is not a deal breaker for many. Much ado about very little. Happens every time a new camera comes out and it is not exactly like what one used before. Lots of people proclaim a new model is unusable before ever seeing one in the flesh because of some change. Fine, obviously the D600 was not designed for David Hobby, he has plenty of bodies to choose from. No one camera will satisfy everyone but the D600 sure seems to satisfy a very large portion of the photography market.StanSt Petersburg Russia

Hi George,I use flash (Speedlights and Strobes) quite often and havn't used the PC port on a camera in well over a decade. The PC connections have never been 100% reliable anyway so there is no great loss.On the other hand, I have found the hotshoe and Pocket Wizards to be extremely reliable.With regard to the 1/3 stop loss of sync speed, the world won't end because of it. The D600 has FP High Speed Sync mode and I suspect that HyperSync mode on the PW MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 should make it moot when using strobes.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!

I'm planning on getting this camera at the end of the year. I'm not very experienced with flash and have 2 SB600's and an SU800. 1/200 flash sync isn't that big of a deal for me at this point as I turn FP High Speed Sync mode on when my SB600/SU800 is attached.Charlie

Focal Plane mode does limit range, but if your subjects are not needing a great deal of flash reach to balance or overtake ambient(Hobby's complaint) you will not notice any problem and just shoot as fast of shutter as you want. I used FP flash at high speed for the bouquet toss at a daylight wedding 2 weeks ago and was able to significantly darken the the background with just one SB900 so I suspect the complaint was more about "potential" rather than actual problems.StanSt Petersburg Russia
