In recent years, an increasing number of fast and ultrafast imaging strategies has been described. In this evolu tion the definition of the terms fast and ultrafast has been blurred. Hence they are frequently used interchangeably. The evolution of these methods has been based on two related, yet separate developments: an increasingly thorough understand ing of the complexities inherent to pulse sequence design and the increasing availability of stronger and faster gradient sys tems. The combination of these two factors has laid the foun dation for vast reductions of MRI data acquisition times. Min utes have been replaced by seconds. Beyond shortening MR examination times and thereby increasing patient throughput, a most significant consequence has been the ability to acquire complex MR image sets within the time confines of a single breath-hold. The constraints placed by the presence of respi ratory motion have thus been effectively eliminated. Ultrafast breath-held data acquisition strategies already represent the backbone of many abdominal, thoracic and even pelvic imaging protocols. The enhanced image quality permits full exploitation of the unsurpassed soft tissue contrast inherent to the MR experiment. Beyond improving the quality of ex isting applications, the implementation of ultrafast imaging techniques has permitted the exploration of new imaging in dications, particularly in the area of perfusion and diffusion as well as ultrafast 3D imaging.

Monsters are hiding everywhere, as the little hamsters Mini, Paul and Max find out in their adventure "Hamster Monster", just published by North/South in Zürich, Switzerland. Three little hamsters are tired of being called cute and sweet - so they decide to be scary, but they get a reaction, which they don't expect...
"The Conference of Scary Ghosts" a cover for a Young Fiction title, published by Arena, Würzburg, Germany, written by Amina Paul. A child is sent to spend the holidays at his uncle's house, a castle, where not everything is what it seems.
Here's a raven I drew for the RSPB's 'Wingbeat' Magazine, which illustrated an article concerning why we associate certain human characteristics with particular animals and birds.
And here are two spooky characters I drew for a book pitch a few years ago, or is it three characters I can spot?
This is an illustration of The Black Skull from a young fiction story I am currently developing - 'The Mysteries of the Magic Map'.
A while ago I had an idea for a story about a group of witches that gather together every fortnight to exchange spells and broth recipes, learn new witch-crafts and have topical conversations about all things related to being a witch. The group was going to be called the Witch's Institute or W.I. for short.
One of the Witch's laws was going to be that if you did too much dark magic, bits would start to drop off. So if you ever see a witch with a carrot for a nose - be wary!
This is literally hot off the drawing board, work in progress for Little Tiger Press, an extension to the Gift Book range that I illustrated for them a few years ago, this will be book number 7 in the range, "Thank You Teacher."
I love drawing kids all dressed up for any occasion, especially Halloween, and no matter witch sort of Halloween you have I hope it's FANGTASTIC!
Here in Germany Halloween has become more and more popular. I drew these pictures for myself and my son, Anton. When Anton was small the pictures had to be mostly funny because he was afraid if they were too dark and mean.
I did the last illustration a few weeks ago; I read quite a scary story but I kept in mind that although the children were afraid they were also fascinated by what they would see when they walked further on.
The next night came: Hallowe'en. Most people stayed safe inside their houses with their doors tightly locked. But not Janna.
When all her household was fast asleep, out she crept again, into the darkness. She followed the path the cold moon showed her, a silver path that led straight back into the enchanted forest.
From 'The Enchanted Forest' by Rosalind Kerven
Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' is about three orphans who are placed in the custody of their distant cousin, Count Olaf, who will stop at nothing to steal their inheritance. This was a personal project.
The Milo Adventure cover is about an Angry Druid who rises from the grave! This cover was commissioned by O'Brien Press.
Hansel and Gretel at Halloween!
This is one of two images I made to accompany the chapter entitled 'Abandoned Children', in 'The Golden Age of Fairy Tales', by Jack Zipes published in 2013. The numerous old stories on this theme are truly gruesome but at least in this one the children triumph! Although the other image was published, I think Gretel despatching the witch to cook in her own oven has more of a Halloween feel to it!
Illustrator James de la Rue has a friend who wants to join in the fun!
And Jane Eccles is, well... a bit batty!
Wishing you a fun and spooky Halloween, and more than a few treats, from everyone at Frances McKay Illustration.
Most illustrators have been using digital techniques for years of course, and whilst I frequently scan artwork and send digital files, it hadn't really occurred to me to make digital images as such. The last straw? It's hard to say but I read that as a result of working on 'Lord of the Rings' Alan Lee now works digitally. Can you believe it? He's a fantastic draughtsman, a wonderful watercolourist; it's the sort of work I aspire to; I had nowhere left to hide, so I resolved to have a go.
I don't simply want to reproduce the sort of work I make traditionally, so I'm playing with the differences between imagery that is obviously drawn and the more shiny stuff that you can do with Photoshop. And, maybe because it also suits my learning curve, I quite want to see the join between the two; it creates a lovely visual tension that reminds me of early stop-frame animation; Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's 'Ivor the Engine' perhaps.
There's a story that I wrote some time ago but have never really tried to illustrate, (strangely, because I couldn't decide on the right combination of techniques). It's called 'Glum the Weaver' and it seems to fit the digital/analogue idea well.
'Glum was a weaver and he had a shop in the town, but no one went there anymore.'
'He was an old grey man in a world of bright new things.'
You get the analogy of this now grey-haired illustrator in the bright, new digital age. Glum's is a slightly dingy, drawn world where he thinks and works as he has always done. Flora, his granddaughter, brings him colour and light and he starts a new way of thinking and working. It 'made the town an even brighter place and Glum a happy man.' So, together with traditional work, like Glum, I'm going to pursue this new way of making pictures and see where it leads.

A is for anthropomorphism
That is attributing human characteristics to things that are not human; and it happens a lot to animals in children's stories. And why not? Some of the best characters in children's literature are animals with all the complexities and foibles of humans. The white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland is a classic example. Lewis Carroll takes the nervous nature of the rabbit and gives it human reasoning; 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!' And he adds the natty clothes and the pocket watch to imply fastidiousness. Beatrix Potter also mastered this and had a great understanding of animal anatomy too. Think also of The Wind in the Willows and of the animal characters that Pinocchio encounters; the fox and the cat; the talking cricket who Walt Disney turned into Jiminy Cricket... and perhaps of the puppet itself; a toy given human feelings.
B is for biophilia
Biophilia is the idea that there is a bond between humans and nature; that we have an innate love of animals. Not all people love all animals and we could probably do without mosquitoes, but the bond is real. We might live more removed from nature now but people and pets work together and we are drawn to David Attenborough's brilliant TV documentaries and other wildlife programmes.
C is for conservation
This matters; loss of biodiversity; loss of habitat; loss of the iconic, the unconsidered and the yet to be discovered species will affect us all. It seems that we value only what we understand, so books might still have a role in widening our understanding of the world around us. Biophilia and bibliophilia ought to play an important part in conservation.
Oh, and C is also for cute.
Alan Marks
With this year's centenary in mind, last year I did a series of three books with Harcourt Education set in the trenches of the First World War.
Written by Alison Hawes, they tell stories of Tommy (of course) and Eric; two underage volunteers who witness the deprivations and horrors of the conflict; including enemy bombardment, gas attacks and the famous episode where opposing German and British soldiers sang carols and played football in no man's land – things that we learn and know about but, in truth, probably have no real concept.
The books were aimed at giving confidence to struggling readers; well written and designed to give the feel of holding a novel, not a picture book; so the illustrations were to be kept low-key, in a limited range of colours and to be printed on cream-coloured paper. It was an approach I'd not really considered before but I think it worked for the books and was probably better than trying to portray the horror of that great conflict full on.
I enjoy collaborating with editors and designers and I'm happy to take direction; one instruction did make me wonder though: throughout the project, particular care was given to the accurate depiction of uniforms, trenches, equipment, gas masks etc. and having initially been sent reference for the specific Lee Enfield rifle that the British used, I was, due to some concern about guns in schools I think, asked to remove the rifles from many pictures and to make them less obvious in others.
'Political correctness gone mad, eh Tommy?'
'Bloody right there, Eric.'
Author Cathy Farr shares her thoughts on the process of working with FMI illustrator Alan Marks on the interior illustrations of her book 'Moon Chase'. 'Moon Chase' Book cover by Sam Wall.
I've always been creative. When I was really little, apparently, I used to lie in bed and tell stories to my imaginary friend 'Stingray' until I fell asleep.
Later Stingray was replaced by notebooks that I filled with poems, tall tales, secrets and sketches; I would agonise over a word, or a bit of shading for hours even though no-one else ever got to see them – ever.
In the world of work I was very lucky. I had an indulgent boss and a very patient graphic designer and my creative side was allowed to run free... but so was my controlling side. As Marketing Manager of a relatively small company I handled everything printed, drawn, photographed and published; creativity and control – I was in heaven.
Then, due to a whole load of happenings I won't trouble you with here; I gave in to my creative side and wrote a book. Moon Chase was an absolute labour of love but after not a small amount of self doubt I decided to publish it – thus reawakening that sleeping monster, my controlling side.
He'd started to stir as the manuscript was transformed into a book: the font was wrong, the chapter titles had to be in a different font, no, not that one, this one; include this map, no not like that, like this; cover design – oh no, I really don't like anything there, I'll find a cover artist, I know exactly what I want….
And that's when it all changed….
I found an artist, sent over the brief with photographs and a mock up of my own idea (I even searched the internet to find the 'right' full moon!) and then I waited.
My email finally pinged. I hit Open…. I burst into tears. It was nothing, nothing, like my idea! I took the dog for a walk.
'God, that's fantastic,' said my husband later, on first view. 'She's got it all, just in that picture. I love it!'
So with a deep breath I looked again. Yes, it was all there – everything but from her mind, not mine, and it was good. In fact, it's out there now, in the market place alongside the follow on, Moon Crossing – cover by the same artist, and when Book Three is finished she will do the cover for that too.
And this week a very special edition of Moon Chase is released. It's been re-written for struggling readers. There are ten vignettes through the text drawn by Alan Marks. All I did was send the text. And the result?
Every time I opened a new sketch I saw my words through someone else's eyes – and it was great.
Then came my biggest test – Matthew Gravelle recording the audio version. Now, I've always fancied myself as a director….but I went in to the studio, said Hi, confirmed pronunciation of one name and then left them to it. And you know what – it's wonderful. As I listen I'm meeting my characters again, just as I did when the cover was done and the vignettes were finished, and I love them all the more for the dimensions that the creativity of others has added and I know now that letting go of that control was the best thing I could have done.
Cathy Farr is author of fantasy adventures Moon Chase and Moon Crossing. Moon Chase was originally published in 2010 by Grosvenor House Publishing and the new Bridge Reader edition for struggling readers is out this month, published by BITE Publishing, with illustrations by Alan Marks, Marks on Paper.
Alan Marks provides us with a peek into a new book of his, all about the Prince of poop!
To be published in spring next year, and already selected for the American Junior Library Guild list, my latest book with Charlesbridge Publishing is Behold the Beautiful Dung Beetle by Cheryl Bardoe. Gross? No, engrossing. I loved working on this title and probably spent far too long researching the beetles and their habits, (not to mention their habitat). The evolutionary biologist J. B. S. Haldane had it that "…God has an inordinate fondness for stars and beetles", which is a rather good way of saying that there are lots beetle species; hundreds of thousands, and a good many of them are dung beetles.
Who knew? There are three groups of dung beetle; dwellers (endocoprids), tunnelers (paracoprids) and rollers (telecoprids). The problem then was to find among the thousands a distinctive beetle from each group that lives in Africa and is known to colonize elephant dung. If I could remember half of the Latin names I came across I could probably write a pretty good thesis – I should add that I also had help from Dr. Doug Emlen, Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Montana.
I found many beautiful beetles; large and small, fantastically coloured, many with elaborate horns, which I would have loved to have drawn, but they did not fit the criteria. But I settled on three good ones: Roller: Scarabaeus Kheper nigroaeneus; Dweller: Oniticellus egregius; Tunneller: Proagoderus rangifer. The Latin can be tricky, but useful too; "rangifer", for example, is the Latin for reindeer and gives a good indication of the shape of the beetle's horns. A bit of Greek can be useful too; many of the rollers are of the genus "Sisyphus", he who was condemned for eternity by the Gods to roll an enormous boulder to the summit of a hill, only to watch it roll back down again.
Do people need to know about dung beetles? You bet, and like the ancient Egyptians, we should probably worship them; we'd be in deep doo-doo without them and they play a vital role in the Earth's ecosystem by redistributing nutriments back into the soil. You don't have to go to Africa to find dung beetles; they are on every continent except Antarctica, and, courtesy of my dog, in my back garden.
Poetry, and illustrations, together? Alan Marks gives us his experience on combining these two perfect partners.
I've learnt a lot about illustration by illustrating poetry. From quite early on I worked with OUP on many of their excellent and varied poetry anthologies, often in association with the prolific poet and anthologist John Foster and also Michael Harrison and Christopher Stuart-Clark. I've sometimes said that I've done everything, from war poems to nursery rhymes. And I enjoyed working on both Peace and War with Oxford and two books of rhymes for Michael Neugebauer. (I plan a separate blog on the latter).
So what's to learn? Firstly, of course, most poetry doesn't need illustration. (This might be said of most writing I guess; the pictures being better on radio, but books with pictures are more fun and I don't want to talk myself out of a job). More than that it's quite easy to ruin a poem for a reader with the wrong image; character; facial expression; a wrong colour even, and to tread all over the poet's (sensitive) feet. So poetry teaches sensitivity and, perhaps, that illustrators owe a debt to the text.
I've learnt too about design and composition. Poems can make great shapes on a page, and leave some awkward spaces around and between. Composing illustration within the limitations that this imposes often produces fresh perspectives and unusual viewpoints. (This is why it is important also not to rely on visual reference. It possesses your work and gets in the way of character and composition). I now prefer to compose a picture around text. I sometimes feel I've failed if the image does not include the poem and just leaves a corresponding white space, (unless that is the brief), not surprisingly, poems about snow are the easiest to illustrate.
When put together, a poem and an illustration don't just sit on the same page; they share and interact with the space, as with the imagination. I like a balance between the text and the image; a tension between graphics and illusion; a bit like a poem itself. A line sits on the same plane as the text; elsewhere the illustration takes off, bringing the page to life. I should add that this is, or becomes, intuitive; it doesn't do to think about it, not too much.
Alan Marks shares with us his thoughts on the move to all things digital in his latest post.
The digital age is like Christmas, (other festivals are available); if you don't embrace it you're thought to be a miserable old *#! So, in much the same way that I appease my family from around the third week in December through to the New Year, I am beginning to join in.
There are dangers for illustration and I worry about loss of quality in the digital delivery of artwork. But there are good things too I find: It's ironic, perhaps, that desktop publishing and eBooks provide a great way for authors to revive old stories and give another lease of life to books that may have been overlooked (and I'm sure this happens) or long out of print. For all the fuss, the binary system just gives us another way of telling, or should that be 'selling' stories.
In recent years I've been working more directly with authors. Having worked on several, beautifully written, animal 'faction' stories by Sandra Markle, published by Charlesbridge, she asked me to do a cover for her story originally called "The Fledglings" and now more aptly "Soaring like Eagles". Sandra lives in New Zealand, her agent in California and I in a quiet corner of South East England. I sent a scan of the artwork to online bookstore specifications and Bingo, it was published. A younger generation is saying "Duh!" but I should just point out that I grew up with, and loved, letterpress and vinyl records.
The excellent author, Chris Powling, with whom I have worked several times, has just used a scan of my cover for "The Mustang Machine" to republish the book.
And I have recently obtained the rights for my story "The Beachcomber"… I don't want to lose publishers, they do so much more than distribute books, but this digital malarkey has potential.
Thanks to Alan for sharing his views on what is an important issue to all illustrators, and highlighted by some fine examples of his work.

/ Money For Old Rope Offer at George Fisher
Please Register as a New User in order to reply to this topic.
George Fishers - on 07 Mar 2013
Yes, as the headline suggests, were launching an initiative recycling used climbing ropes!
Any climber will recognise the problem.
You've happily been using a rope for a few years, it still looks in good nick but according to best practice it should now be retired.
But what do you do with it? You can't allow an old rope to be used in any safety-related application, but equally you don't want to throw it away. So it sits there gathering dust in the shed; and if you've been climbing for a few years it might be joining several others hundreds of metres of rope.
Now George Fisher in partnership with Green Peak Gear, Mammut UK and Sterling Ropes has put in place an initiative that solves the dilemma.
From 4 March the Money For Old Rope initiative means you can bring your old rope into George Fisher and you'll get a 15% discount on a new single rope, or pair of half ropes from either the Mammut or Sterling ranges in stock at the time.

Free Will and the Bible
Some assert that man has free will. Some assert that all is determined. Some say (as I do) that free will is compatible with determinism. The debate has raged, unabated, for millennia.
Clearly, an interceding God presents problems for free will. However, a cosmic God - a Creator who does not intervene in human affairs - might be compatible with free will if he keeps his omniscience and omnipotence to himself. I,…Continue

"I absolutely love the photo magnet of my grandson that I just ordered from you. You do quality work and I am always pleased with all the magnets I get from you. The color quality is top notch and they are picture perfect! The magnets are strong and durable (as I should know, because my grandsons play with them on the refrigerator and they still look like new!). I really like to be able to put my favorite photos on these magnets so they are easy to display. I'm one lucky grandma proudly showing off her grandkids and other family members to anyone that visits without lifting a finger to get a photo album! Thanks for making such a great quality photo magnet. I'll bet most everyone that orders these are pleased when they arrive. Keep up the awesome quality work and customer service and I'll keep coming back!!"

One of the Gulf Coast's most luxurious resorts, WaterColor is a wonderland of activities for families, including expansive nature preserves, bike trails, lakes, shopping, fitness facilities, a spa, parks, award-winning dining and nearby award-winning golf courses. (And, of course, the Gulf of Mexico's sugar-white beaches.)
Hailed as Northwest Florida's Only Four-Diamond AAA Hotel, the resort's WaterColor Inn was also recently honored with a "World's Best" award from Travel+Leisure magazine.
WaterColor's Beach Club offers direct access to the sand as well a gorgeous Gulf-front swimming deck. It's a great spot for WaterColor guests to grab lunch, toast sunsets or just enjoy sharing the day with friends. Next door, the much-lauded Fish Out of Water restaurant serves fresh Apalachicola oysters, Gulf seafood and incorporates locally farmed ingredients in their signature dishes.
There's also an expansive and perfectly-manicured butterfly garden in the middle of WaterColor, known as Cerulean Park. Town planners also designed gorgeous bridges, boardwalks and an extensive nature trail along the shores of Western Lake.
Just a short stroll or bike ride to the west, and you'll cross 30A's stunning Western Lake into Grayton Beach State Park. Or, take a few steps to the east, and you'll enter Seaside – sometimes jokingly and affectionately referred to by residents as WaterColor's "Historic District."

Dear Shane, Guy, and Frank:
Ron and I have implored you for more than a year with emails, phone calls, and in person to stand with us on the Referendum Issue regarding 8 egregious, unnecessary developments through out Howard County. Ron and I were never given the courtesy of having you answer our inquiries for a year on your stand for the Referendum except for the standard issue reply of "thank you for your email, etc" and "Savage is always complaining about something."
Now, it is election time and, all of a sudden, you are all over the Referendum Issue, freedom of speech, the rights of Howard County Citizens, how you "stood together as a delegation" to get legislation in place for some future County Council to wrestle. You never addressed the Present, Here, and Now to get the Referendum on the ballot on November 4, 2014. A word on Facebook, a letter to the editor, nothing.
All that said, Ron and I returned from out of town to find all of our yard signs down. It could only have been someone thinking they are working on YOUR behalf, because there was one of YOUR signs in the place of signs for Jimmy Williams, Jody Venkatesan, Alan Schneider, Allen Dyer and a few others, a mix of Republicans, Independents and Democrats. It is our belief, and that of many others, that Howard County needs a change in government. There is not enough transparency and there is way too much development money and influence going on in Howard County. The signs in our yard demonstrate our wish for change. Once again, as with the Referendum Issue, our Right to Free Speech is being ripped down and carted away.
Please do not put another sign in our yard for the November 4th election. Please tell your avid followers to NOT touch the signs in our yard again. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW.
Ellen Long, Ron Coleman
Savage Maryland
A "PAC", or political action committee, was formed from FixHoCo.com to allow the responsible public-minded citizens of this county, who diligently pursued the right to free political speech, and to vote through a REFERENDUM on ZONING, the ability to support and advocate POLITICAL CANDIDATES on an open scale.
It was registered officially.

Anetta Hoover transforms wild locks with stylish cuts and colors, as well as keratin express treatments, which eliminate 95% of frizz and leave manes glossy and straight for up to eight weeks. Within the boutique salon, Anetta will slather the advanced keratin-infused formula onto clients' strands, commanding it to penetrate deep into the cuticle with a bond that promotes healing and protects follicles from environmental toxins and environmentalist canvassers. Next, she will blow-dry hair and finish the 'do with a careful flat ironing to lock strands straight into place and complete the frizz-free look, leaving skull-capes shiny, smooth, and ready to battle humidity like an air conditioner brandishing a sword. Folks with already-straight hair can redeem this Groupon for a stylish haircut with a choice of all-over color or partial-foil highlights, also performed within the exposed brick walls and sunny yellow décor of the chic salon.
Cuttin' Loose Salon is mere minutes from the rippling waters of the Gulf Coast and has been ranked one of Florida's top three salons for eight years running by Independent News. Golden-yellow walls and brick accents fill the space with bright charm as expert stylists use Matrix and Redken products to transform tresses with color, keratin treatments, and trendy cuts. Walk further back, and you'll step into the tranquil bodywork studio to encounter the salon's licensed massage therapist, Ann Sheppard, who has turned Pensacola's muscle frowns upside-down for nearly 10 years. She calls on the skills she learned at the Pensacola School of Massage Therapy and Health Careers and from training with a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to both foster total relaxation and target pain stemming from injury or chronic conditions—she's treated everyone from pro athletes and coaches to expectant mothers and patients reeling from recent join-replacement surgery. Rather than sticking to one modality throughout her massage sessions, she calls on a number of techniques, picking and choosing her approach depending on what her clients require.
Style is Pensacola's hottest beauty boutique. Our mission is to provide beauty, education, excellence and consistency to our team and to our guests.
Still Waters Day & Medical Spa, supervised by Dr. Jack Kotlarz, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in bolstering beauty with lasers and other forms of advanced technology while still pampering those looking for a traditional spa experience. VelaShape anticellulite treatments shed dimples without invasive surgery or witchcraft, Isolaz PPX laser from Solta helps minimize pores and reduce inflammatory skin, and the Apogee Elite laser system frees clients from unwanted body fuzz with laser hair removal. Cosmetic injections and facial fillers pair with traditional aroma-infused spa soaks, facials, and massages. Every spa service includes a plush robe and slippers and begins with a warm footbath infused with fragrant herbs and essential oils.
Epic Inc. Paul Mitchell Focus Salon owner Stacey Norris has dedicated 17 years to honing her salon skills through Paul Mitchell Systems. Both an educator and a stylist, she's equally capable of creating a new look for a client or teaching a younger stylist to do the same. At Epic Inc., Stacey and her staff groom guests with haircuts, waxing services, and more than a dozen specific options for hair color and highlights.
The iron curlicues and elegant lettering on the sign in front of Le Salon aren't just decorative—without them, it'd be difficult to notice the salon there at all. Flowers bloom, palm trees lean, and flags flap around the neat brick-and-stucco bungalow, which blends right into a block of vintage wood houses. It's equally homey inside, where a family of four stylists snips and lathers as women, men, and children sit before old-fashioned vanity tables, sink into a paisley sofa, or stretch out on the gleaming wood floor. The stylists are happy to share the secrets to getting the most out of their wide lineup of Redken products, and they will gladly special order anything they don't have so clients can take home the latest in smoothing treatments or bottled hair.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- During the hot summer months; many folks hit the rivers and lakes to cool off but we relief comes risk. The Sevierville Fire Department spent Thursday practicing skills that save lives.
Steve Whaley of the Sevierville Fire Department said "We have several tubing companies that put tubes in the water and turn people loose. We also have several campgrounds and parks along rivers."
Once every three months the fire department simulates life or death situations and put their training to the test.
"On technique is called 'Live Bait' where we go out in a boat, tether a rescuer to the boat and he dives in to rescue the person in the water." said Steve
It's just one of the many situations that the rescuers might face so they need to be prepared to handle anything.
Steve said "All it's going to take is one time for someone to be in trouble and all this training will pay off."
The department even trains during the cold winter months using a dry suit to keep their body temperature normal.

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/05/14 -- HP (NYSE: HPQ) today expanded its leading portfolio of thin client solutions with the HP t310 All-in-One Zero Client and HP t520 Flexible Series Thin Client, designed to help businesses securely support virtual work environments.
HP also announced updates to its embedded Linux Operating System (OS) for Thin Clients, HP ThinPro 5.0, which features a new user interface and increased flexibility to move between the HP ThinPro OS and HP Smart Zero cores.
Businesses demand technology that helps employees stay productive across an organization's different workgroups and between offices. IT managers must support this New Style of IT while meeting the security and reliability expectations of the business. HP's thin clients, including the HP t310 AiO and HP t520, help organizations to meet these needs by accommodating their various employee profiles while taking advantage of the security and manageability benefits of a desktop virtualization environment.
"User demands for more reliable and powerful computing means businesses are looking for new, affordable solutions that are flexible, secure and easy to manage," said Jeff Groudan, worldwide director, Product Management, Thin Clients, HP. "Our new thin client solutions provide workers with advanced hardware design, easy-to-use software and a secure cloud computing experience."
Powerful all-in-one, compact design
The compact HP t310 AiO is designed to help businesses maximize available workspace and is optimized for PCOIP and VMware environments, while improving IT efficiency. Built to optimize a virtual work environment in high-performance industries -- such as healthcare, financial services, government agencies, retail and education -- the HP t310 AiO is ideal for organizations looking for reliable connectivity and secure access to data in a true zero client that doesn't require active management or configuration.
Key features of the HP t310 AiO include:
- Big performance. The HP t310 AiO connected to VMware delivers a seamless, high-performance remote Windows® or cloud experience driven by the latest Teradici PCoIP technology to ensure low display latency and fast response times, even for demanding multimedia applications. Teradici PCoIP technology is embedded in Amazon WorkSpaces, VMware Horizon DaaS and VMware Horizon View.
- Space-saving design. With a fanless design, quiet thermals and a 23-inch diagonal display(1) including keyboard and mouse, the HP t310 can be deployed in small work spaces.(2)
Flexible solution, ultimate value
Designed for flexible business performance, the HP t520 is a reliable, mainstream thin client solution that maximizes productivity with a seamless virtual desktop experience. The HP t520 is tailored to support users in demanding environments -- such as call centers, retail industries, financial services and manufacturing -- that require the flexibility to manage and maintain productivity.
Enhanced features on the HP t520 include:
- Work smarter. The HP t520 helps businesses increase productivity with the latest thin client technologies packed in to a sleek, fan-less design that's 20 percent smaller than its predecessor.
- Powerful business performance. With AMD GX-212JC SOC, SATA flash drive interface, HD graphics, and configurable memory and storage, the HP t520 delivers a powerful desktop experience,(3) 14.4 percent faster than the HP t510.
- Seamless integration. The HP t520 lets businesses choose the operating system and client virtualization solutions best suited for their environment.
Multiple configurations, one solution
HP ThinPro 5.0 combines the HP ThinPro OS and the HP Smart Zero Core in a new user-friendly interface, giving businesses the ability to switch between the flexible HP ThinPro OS and the simple HP Smart Zero Core as needed. Users also can customize their desktop, easily manage the system with automatic updates from HP.com or a USB key, and restore points for unique configurations and enhanced security features.
Pricing and availability
- The HP t310 AIO and the HP t520 is expected to start shipping in select markets in late June, with worldwide availability over next two months. Both solutions are backed by HP's 36-month life cycle, a standard three-year limited warranty and globally recognized ecocertifications.
- The HP ThinPro 5.0 is expected to be available this month at no additional charge on HP flexible series thin clients.(4)
The HP t310 AiO and the HP t520 thin clients will be demonstrated at HP's premier Americas client event, HP Discover, which takes place June 10-12 in Las Vegas.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.
