AV Integrators Defend Open Floor Plans

Red Thread and Tierney Brothers among few in AV industry that eschew cubicles and offices for more collaborative spaces that double as showrooms.

Leave a Comment

There’s no doubt it’s a little bit shocking and a bit tough to get used to working in an office with no cubicles, no offices and only the necessary walls.

In AV, Red Thread is among the trailblazers when it comes to open office floor plans—and that innovation comes in part because the Boston-based AV integrator is owned by a furniture company.

Their main office doubles as a showroom that can help visitors understand how the technology can work with the furniture in almost any setting.

John Mitton, VP of Red Thread’s AV group and the company’s chief technology officer, says the recently released results of a survey on open floor plans that cited decreased productivity as a major flaw in the idea came “during the infancy of open floor plans.”

The results of the DEGW survey were based on 44,301 responses from 30 companies between 2007 and 2009. “The driver at that time was real estate compression and shedding costs,” says Mitton, noting the timing coincided with the so-called Great Recession.

“I don’t think people had thought about everything they can do with an open floor plan at that time,” he says. “We’re much further along now. We’ve created a palate of places where people can come in and do their work. We’ve created collaborative spaces around how people sit. It’s really about giving people choices about how they can be productive.”

A 2011 Danish study of 2,403 employees found that workers in open offices take 62 percent more sick days than those in more traditional settings.

In 2013, The University of Sydney found that nearly 50 percent of people working in collaborative spaces aren’t satisfied with their lack of sound privacy. Sixty percent of people in cubicles with low walls reported the same dissatisfaction.

Mitton remembers when Red Thread first started talking about going to an open floor plan in its new headquarters office and bristling at the idea of no longer having an office—or even a door to close. In the year or so since moving to the new office, though, “I’m one of the biggest converts,” says Mitton.

And, in better news for Red Thread, he’s not the only one.

“Employee satisfaction is up and retention is up,” says Mitton. “We find that people are working longer, harder hours than they had been.”

Mitton isn’t necessarily surprised more AV integrators aren’t following Red Thread’s model of having their office spaces double as showrooms. One of the few exceptions is Tierney Brothers, which recently opened an office with an open floor plan in St. Paul, Minn.

“Some integrators may not be aware of these kinds of opportunities,” says Mitton. “We want to leverage the space we have. We feel this works for us.”

Here’s a look at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Tierney Brothers’ new headquarters from November:

“Talking about practicing what we’re preaching, we install multiple hotel offices, small little huddle spaces, places that are easy to collaborate in,” says Trent Fettig, project management and engineering manager at Tierney Brothers.

“Our project managers can grab our engineers and our installers quickly, on the fly, and have impromptu meetings or scheduled meetings. Our entire building now is basically our show floor. So we’re bringing customers into the same spaces and we’re having internal meetings. Since our show floor is technically still called the show floor – again, that’s our entire building.

“So, we’re using all of the spaces ourselves. Using them in a way that we are helping to sell to customers and explaining to them how they can use the spaces. Not only are we explaining how the spaces are used but we’re using them ourselves. We’re not putting in any technology that we’re not using on a day-to-day basis. It helps with collaboration, in general, with internal and external customers. We are using the spaces. We believe in everything that we put into all of these spaces,” he says.

Tierney Brothers employees are now “in clusters and then scattered throughout our collaboration tables, so that people could be looking at large PDFs, schematic drawings of jobs or just getting groups together,” says CEO Robert Gag. “I didn’t know for sure if we had it in us, to see those spaces get used. They’re getting together and they’re meeting at those tables.”

Tierney Brothers’ new headquarters has offices either in the middle of the floor or along the back wall of the building.

“We wanted all the light in the public spaces, the café, and then for the people in the workstations,” says Gag.

“The employees that are doing the work day in and day out, they have the views, they have the light coming in,” says Fettig. “It was a complete 180 from what we’re used to. Our employees, they seem to be enjoying it.”

Swyx Celebrates Strongest Ever Quarter and Announce UK Management Changes

Günter Junk, CEO, Swyx Solutions has written to his channel partners thanking them for their efforts in making their last quarter a sales record and advising them of changes to the UK management team.

Junk said that Swyx has just realised its highest first quarter results since its formation over seven years ago. Revenues have increased over 30% since the same period in 2006 and we can now boast over 7500 installations throughout Europe during the last two years, taking Swyx to the market leader position for SME IP PBX in Western Europe.

“This is compelling evidence that the market is not only adopting our software based ‘pure’ IP telephony approach but actually grabbing it with both hands. Over the last 2-years we have placed a significant amount of investment into the European market and in particular the channel in order to build our sales channels and more importantly our brand.

This included hiring key industry professionals, including Andy Bills, whose objective was to accelerate the development of the business in North Region (UK and Scandinavia) and specifically to establish a scalable professional sales channel in the UK.

This phase is now complete and the feedback from our reseller and distribution partners has been highly encouraging, as the benefits of this investment are now being reaped.

As such Andy has decided explore new challenges outside of the company and will leave at the end of the month. Everybody at Swyx would like to thank him for the major contribution that he has made and wish him every success in the future.”

Junk went on to say that the next chapter in the Swyx’s development is to leverage this success and concentrate on an aggressive research and development programme that will keep SwyxWare at the forefront of IP Communications technology, whilst keeping the momentum in the channel with continued sales and marketing efforts.

In order to achieve this he says there will be some minor changes to the European structure:

– Ralf Ebbinghaus, Senior Vice President of Sales will now be personally responsible for all European sales regions, taking over from Andy at the end of the month;

– The UK sales and support team remains unaffected and will continue to support the channel as usual, with Dave Pitts continuing as the Sales & Channel Leader for the UK region.

Ebbinghaus is one of the founding members of Swyx and until 2005 was responsible for Sales in the UK & Northern Europe regions in addition to other sales regions. He is a familiar figure in the UK market and channels, and is well versed in the market landscape and dynamics of the UK.

It is expected that Ebbinghaus will host a series of local breakfast seminars on Swyx, including covering their new product and market development initiatives, in June and July.

Zopa launches personalized listings service

Zopa, a peer to peer lending service, has launched a completely new and more personalized Zopa Listings that will allow individual borrowers to post their own specific loan requirements and circumstances for individual lenders to review and then bid alternative.

This new service will offer a more individual and personalized version of peer to peer or ‘Social Lending’. Each Zopa Listing can include photographs and eventually a video, and will tell the borrower’s story in terms of what they want to borrow for and why. The listing will also include all the necessary details like size of loan, over how long, a target interest rate, etc., along with all the information the borrower wants to offer about their circumstances to help lenders decide whether or not to lend to them and at what interest rate.

Giles Andrews, managing director of Zopa UK, said: The launch of Zopa Listings is an exciting new avenue for our members, bringing new levels of individuality and personal control to Social Lending. Zopa Lenders will be able to review all these Listings on the site and then bid on those they want to lend to, showing how much they want to lend and at what interest rate. The process of competitive bidding in this way will make Zopa Listings an equally efficient marketplace as our existing Zopa Markets service, but with even greater levels of personal control and choice.

Look Up Another Term

Definition: .NET Framework Client Profile

A client-only version of the .NET Framework that was introduced with .NET Framework 3.5. If an application requires the .NET Framework, it is often packaged with the app, and the full version adds around 250MB to the download. By eliminating the compiler and various server components (Web services, Active Server Pages, etc.), the Client Profile is about 80% smaller. See .NET Framework.

Remote Control Hardware Options

FRAMINGHAM (03/27/2000) - Managing servers used to be a time-consuming and costly affair. Remote-control solutions made it easier to maintain the servers, but they brought up some new concerns. Software solutions are simple to install and are inexpensive, but they use precious server clock cycles by loading the server with another process to service. If this is unattractive to you, hardware-based products for remote control offer another option.

There are two types of hardware solutions for remotely managing your servers: a vendor-specific add-on card installed into the vendor 's server, or an external stand-alone box - basically a PC with an additional card for keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) connections that send and receive signals to and from the server being managed.

The proprietary cards pull power from the host server 's I/O bus or from an external power supply. The advantage here is that the card can be accessed even if the server operating system is down or the server loses power. The downside is that these cards typically can only manage the host server, not multiple servers.

The external server management products are scalable by connecting to a KVM switch. The devices can control the KVM switch to manage a machine connected to that switch. Another advantage to the external server management solution is the inherent vendor-independent nature of the products. This type of solution can manage any server with a standard PC mouse and keyboard with a VGA connection for video.

Vendor cards score higher

We evaluated four products, two in each category. The vendor-specific cards (Hewlett-Packard Co.'s TopTools card and Compaq Computer Corp.'s Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition) scored better than the external boxes (Cybex's Key-View II and Apex Emerge 2000 ). Because the internal remote control cards are connected to the PCI bus of the server, it affords them more resources to monitor and control than their external remote control counterparts. (Editor 's Note: Apex and Cybex recently announced plans to merge.)Two other vendor-specific cards, Dell 's Remote Access Card (DRAC) and IBM 's Wiseman remote access card, were invited to participate, but the vendors declined, as they were between product cycles.

In the final analysis, HP 's TopTools card won our Blue Ribbon Award for the best combination of features, ease of use and scalability.

About the products

The Compaq Remote Insight Board Lights-Out Edition is a PCI card loaded into a Compaq server. The card has a keyboard and mouse port that connect to the keyboard and mouse ports of the managed server. The board has an Ethernet port for connection to a network. A Web server runs on the card to allow access via a Web browser on a remote management console. The card is a stand-alone unit that can operate even when the server is powered down. There is an external power connection that is used in case the power to the server is interrupted.

The HP TopTools card is a PCI card loaded into an HP server. The card has an external power connection in case the server power is interrupted. It also has an Ethernet connection and a serial connection for use with a modem for out-of-band access. A Web server runs on the card to allow access from a remote management station running a Web browser.

Apex 's Emerge 2000 was shipped with an Apex Outlook 8-port KVM switch. The Emerge 2000 is an Acer PC with a special card that allows the box to be connected to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of a server or KVM switch box.

The Emerge 2000 also has an Ethernet port and modem. The Emerge runs Traveling Software 's LapLink software for remote control of the Emerge box. The Emerge also can control the Outlook KVM switch by selecting the active port.

The other external device, Cybex 's Key-View II, is a rack-mountable PC with a special card that connects to the keyboard, mouse and video ports of a server or KVM switch. Our Key-View II was shipped with a KVM switch that can connect to many servers. Remote console access into the Key-View II is made via Symantec 's pcAnywhere.

Of the two proprietary card solutions, we were most impressed with the TopTools ' features. Access is provided by pcAnywhere for graphics control, and the card itself is used to control access to the text console. We liked the remote power-on and power-off capability, as well as the graceful operating system shutdown function provided by the card. This feature works well with Microsoft 's Windows NT, Windows 2000, Novell 's NetWare and The Santa Cruz Operation 's UnixWare.

The TopTools software on a management platform provides a centralized place to change the passwords of all TopTools cards in a network and can be integrated into management platforms to provide centralized administration and monitoring of the card.

We also liked the remote floppy feature, which allows the server to boot from a remote floppy disk instead of local floppy or hard drives. This lets you upgrade the server from floppy disks without having to physically touch the server. Other features we liked include environmental monitoring of the server and alerts and notification features for configurable server conditions.

Environmental monitoring includes items such as system voltages and temperature. With the card, these items can be monitored and administrators can be alerted without the server having to do the work through a management platform. Finally, we gave points for HP 's inclusion of a serial port for connection to an external modem.

Compaq 's Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition allows access through a Web server built into the card. All you need is a Web browser to access the management console. We liked that the card had power-on and power-off capabilities, but it didn 't have a graceful shutdown capability, other than those provided by the operating system.

The board can also intercept SNMP traps from the server, allowing it to send traps instead of the Insight Manager software on the server, thus relieving the server of this duty.

The administration features let you create users and passwords to control the access into the card, as well as limit the accessibility of various features by different users. Unlike the TopTools card, there is no centralized administration mechanism.

Further, there is no remote floppy capability, no environmental monitoring features and no modem interface. Compaq says the modem interface was left off to reduce the cost of the card, and the company recommends deploying a remote access server for modem access.

Unlike the previous two products, both the Cybex Key-View II and the Apex Emerge 2000 are server vendor-independent. While this is a definite plus, these solutions also lack some of the other features provided by the vendor-specific cards, including remote power control (although Cybex offers a remote power control unit that integrates with their KVM switching architecture), remote floppy capability and integration with other management tools. Additionally, there are no environmental monitoring capabilities, alert or notification features other than utilities that may be bundled with the server.

A unique feature of the Emerge product is the ability to have several servers ' displays open at once, although only an active screen in an active window is updated.

Ease of use

Connecting to the internal cards is relatively easy. To connect to the Compaq board, just open a browser on the client and type in the IP address of the board. A Java applet starts and gives the user a logon window. After authenticating, a Web page appears. The interface is simple to navigate and gives the user the ability to view the server desktop directly from the Web page. The time it takes the applet to redraw the screen is a little painful, but the convenience of having the graphical console built into the Web site outweighs the disadvantages.

We had some problems with the graphical console feature when switching between the remote console and other functions on the Remote Insight Board Web site.

This caused an Oout of memoryO error on our browser. It detracted from the experience, but the ability to get access to the server console remotely without any special client software (other than a browser) is definitely a plus.

HP 's TopTools card also has a built-in Web server. The remote graphical console is accessed through pcAnywhere. Unlike the Compaq card, there is no native graphical console. It does have a remote text-based console to view the Power On System Test (POST) operation when the server boots up. This is where hardware is detected and configured during the boot process. The ability to see the POST operation is important because there may be a boot problem that is the cause of a server problem. When the server operating system brings up a graphical user interface (GUI), the remote text console no longer works. The user must use pcAnywhere to continue controlling the server through the graphical console. The Web pages for the TopTools card are easy to navigate, and the links are self-explanatory and easy to read. In addition, the TopTools ' remote floppy feature uses TFTP to deliver the remote floppy image, which worked without a hitch.

Of the two external devices, the Cybex Key-View II was easier to work with. The remote access graphics and performance worked well, and we had no user interface problems. The application was a little confusing to navigate at first, but after learning the process of connecting to a remote server through the KVM switch, the interface was relatively easy to use. Cybex provides a mechanism to define key macros for passing keystrokes to the managed server.

The Emerge 2000 is actually a small Acer PC running Windows NT 4.0. At bootup, it starts the application called Emerge. This is the main GUI for the remote server access functionality. The application opens with a wizard to let the Emerge application know how KVM switches are connected to it. From here the user can bring up windows that display the remote server 's desktop.

In the remote desktop window, the mouse pointer changes to a cross-hair cursor to differentiate between the local and remote mouse cursors. The remote mouse cursor lags behind the local cursor, due to the digitizing delay of the KVM card in the Emerge box. There is an annoying procedure to make the local mouse cursor and remote mouse cursor synchronize. The remote mouse speed must be set to the lowest setting, then you have to hit F9 or else the cursors won 't synchronize. This is further complicated because the mouse speed setting can change depending on the user who logs on to the server.

While Emerge has a set of predefined key combinations mapped to function keys to pass Windows key combinations to the remote server (such as CTRL-ALT-Delete), there is no mechanism for creating your own key combinations or mappings. Also, to remotely connect to the Emerge 2000, the LapLink remote access software must be up and configured on the client machine. While this is easy to do, the graphics quality and performance degrades over the LapLink connection.

Setup and configuration

Compaq 's Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition was the easiest to set up and configure. We installed the board in a ProLiant 1850R server that Compaq shipped to us. The system partition may need to be upgraded for the server to recognize the card, otherwise the card sets up easily through a configuration utility during bootup. After the card is configured and reset, it can be accessed via the Web browser.

HP 's TopTools card is also set up during the server hardware boot sequence.

After assigning the card an IP address, a Web browser can access it.

Integration into the TopTools software on a management platform then allows multiple TopTools cards to be administered from one location.

For the external boxes, setup is a bit more difficult. The Emerge comes with a bootable CD that contains the hard disk image for the Emerge hardware. If the Emerge box software needs to be reinstalled, simply boot the CD and the hard disk gets a fresh copy of the operating system and Emerge software. In addition, the Emerge application needs to know the topology of the KVM switch architecture, which is done through a wizard.

Because of the flexibility of the Cybex KVM switch architecture, setup can be complicated. The Cybex system relies on the Ospan of controlO concept, in which users can only access various ports on various KVM switches. However, the setup of the Key-View II and the KVM switching system was relatively simple to configure. Once the connection between the Key-View II and the switch architecture is made, pcAnywhere needs to set up the remote control of the Key-View II box.

The TopTools card wins because it enables group management of the card and it does the best job of integrating into management software. The group management allows centralized management of all the cards. The only downside to TopTools is the one-to-one relationship between cards and servers.

Compaq 's Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition does integrate with the Compaq Insight Manager, which helps with management scalability, but there is no centralized administration of the cards, so the administration doesn 't scale.

For the external devices, Cybex 's Key-View II has a rich and flexible KVM switching architecture that scales to support a large server installation. In addition, the Key-View II can import the KVM switching configuration to maintain user rights for access. However, there isn 't an integration feature to let the Key-View II operate with server management systems.

The Emerge 2000 could connect to many servers with the Outlook KVM switch.

Because there is no switch user configuration or centralized server management that integrates with the Emerge 2000, there is no management scalability.

The TopTools card and the Compaq Remote Lights-Out Edition scored well for security. The TopTools card has good physical security because it has a built-in modem. Password security is good, as is authentication. But remember, there 's only one type of user with the HP card (all users have the same rights as opposed to the Compaq card and Cybex box allowing for configurable user rights). Because it only has an Ethernet connection, the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition can be sniffed by hackers monitoring the traffic going to and from the card. But it does have good password encryption and reasonable authentication and access control mechanisms.

On the external side, Cybex 's onboard modem gives it good physical security.

It has good password security, and the authentication and access control was the best of the group. It includes a caller ID card that connects to a phone line and the modem, to allow the administrator to only receive calls from a specified location.

Apex 's Emerge also has good physical security, as you can connect remotely by modem. PcAnywhere has good password encryption, but authentication and access control is left to the underlying operating system.

Price per server

The Emerge 2000 and the Apex switch offer the most economical solution overall, However, if you are looking to remotely control only a couple of servers and you have HP and Compaq servers, the HP and Compaq cards are the most inexpensive. As the number of servers increase, the economics change. The Apex Emerge 2000 is the most inexpensive solution with more than three servers. The HP TopTools card is the most expensive with more than six servers. The Compaq and the Apex products hit the middle of the road in price per server with more than seven servers.

HP 's documentation came out on top. The card comes with an easy-to-read setup guide showing how to install, configure and access the card. The Web interface has links to HP 's Web site for extensive documentation on the card. Compaq 's documents were easy to follow, except for the complicated driver installation procedure. Apex 's documentation is all on a CD, but it is still well-written and easy to read. Cybex 's manuals were easy to follow, but they simply describe the functions. There were no procedural explanations for setting up the system.

As mentioned above, these products fall into two categories -- external vendor-independent products and internal vendor-specific products. If you have an HP or Compaq shop, the choice is clear -- buy their remote access cards for remote server access.

If you have a multivendor server environment, the types of features and your budget would define which product to purchase. If you need high security and flexibility in your KVM switching architecture, the Cybex Key-View II would be the product of choice. If price is your major consideration, the Emerge 2000 from Apex may be the best choice.

Kramers VS-5x5 is a 5x5 high-performance audio matrix switcher for composite video and balanced stereo audio signals. This is an ideal solution for professional video display and monitoring systems requiring a true 5x5 matrix operation. This product is also great for use in multimedia and presentation source and acceptor selection situations, as well as production and video editing studios. To ensure glitch-free switching with genlocked sources it will switch during the vertical interval.

The VS-5x5 uses switching synchronization which allows for the device to synchronize either to the external reference or the incoming video. With a front panel control lockout to prevent unwanted tampering after desired settings have been programmed, control of this device is through the front panel itself, RS-232(KRouter Windows based software included) & RS-485, or IR remote(included). After presets have been selected memory location can store multiple switches as presets to be recalled and executed when needed. Through the input and output via RS-232 you also have the ability to control audio gain levels. A take button allows for the execution of multiple switches at once.

This system is designed to manage composite video and unbalanced stereo audio signals and with Breakaway Audio the audio can be routed separately from the video as needed.

NTT Opens Massive Data Center in Hong Kong Amidst Strong Demand

NTT Communications opened phase one of a new Hong Kong Financial Data Centre (FDC™).  The company said over 80% of phase one capacity in the new data centre was reserved prior to launch.

The Tier IV ready facility boasts a100% uptime service level, unrivalled security, connection to NTT's ultra-low latency networks and close proximity to the data centre operations of regional exchanges.

FDC also features a continuous cooling system, continuous rating generators and compartmentalized infrastructure design. Once complete, the facility will offer over 70,000 m2 of gross floor area and over 6,000 racks in total.

The FDC houses the landing station of the new Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE) which connects key financial hubs in Asia with the shortest possible route that boasts industry leading network latency of less than 43 milliseconds from Hong Kong to Tokyo and less than 64 milliseconds from Singapore to Tokyo. Furthermore, the FDC is collocated with NTT Communications’ global network node that connects to Europe and North America.

The Hong Kong Government is committed to promoting the development of high-tier data centres. Today the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate houses a cluster of 12 high-tier data centres, occupying a total of 20 hectares of land and the Hong Kong Financial Data Centre of NTT is the latest addition to this impressive data centre family. These centres with stringent performance requirements provide valuable support to the business operations and growth of both our local and international enterprises," stated Ms. Susie Ho Shuk-yee, JP, Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Hong Kong.

NextiraOne Picks Equinix UK for Cloud Infrastructure

NextiraOne, a European multinational company based in Paris that designs, installs, maintains and supports business communications services for over 60,000 private and public sector organizations, selected Equinix’s LD5 International Business Exchange(IBX) as the primary data center to support the roll-out of its new modular private cloud infrastructure portfolio.

The new Equinix LD5 facility is located on same campus in Slough, England, as its LD4 data center.  The Equinix campus is linked by more than 1,000 diverse dark fiber links into Central London with global access to more than 900 network providers.  The location (just outside of London) provides access to transatlantic cables for low-latency connections to New York.

“The past twelve months have seen a significant increase in the number of businesses consolidating IT legacy systems, which have proven costly to update and slowed commercial growth. By locating in Equinix, we will not only be able to deliver our services to customers but also have direct access to a prospective client base of cloud driven customers and partners through Equinix Marketplace portal," stated Geraint Davies, head of business development, Data Centers, NextiraOne.

Separately, Equinix received an award from the European Commission Joint Research Center that oversees the EU Code of Conduct (CoC) on Data Center Energy Efficiency for the company's new International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Amsterdam (AM3). The new AM3 facility is build to LEED Gold standards.

In 2011, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and then Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel appointed a joint committee to evaluate the impact of combining City and County resources. The committee’s efforts resulted in a report which suggested 19 areas of collaboration—among them was workforce development. In this area each governmental body provided similar, yet disparate services under the auspices of the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA).

Despite geographic proximity, each administration maintained separate policies and initiatives with formal business engagement generally managed by delegate agencies. The Chicago Workforce Investment Council (CWIC), a non-profit workforce policy organization also provided direction and programming in this arena.

ChicagoCookBy working together, without regard to geographic boundaries, both Cook County and the City of Chicago would broaden the reach of workforce services for employers and job seekers alike. With three primary goals in mind— reducing costs, improving services and engaging the business community—the Mayor and President together formed the largest nonprofit managed LWIA in the nation, the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership. Its services are available to all residents and businesses within Cook County, including the City of Chicago and more than 200 other municipalities.

Since its introduction in July 2012, The Partnership has implemented numerous policy changes to align occupational training services with current and projected business needs. Through its Business Relations and Economic Development team, The Partnership has amplified private sector awareness of the region’s workforce resources and has led to deeper business engagement.

Registering websites

Fact sheet P-23: Registering websites

Issued: 30th January 2009
Last amended: 2nd February 2009

Websites are a soft target. Internet content is frighteningly easy to copy and we get more reports about plagiarism of website content than any other material. It is important for site owners to secure the evidence that registration provides, but a large proportion of the enquiries we receive are from people who are unclear how to register their site.

This fact sheet explains how best to register your website.

  1. When to register

    Due to the dynamic nature of websites deciding when to register may be unclear.

    As a basic rule, the site should be as complete as possible, but should ideally be registered before the site is published online, or is seen by untrusted parties, to ensure that proof of content is available as early as possible.

  2. What to register

    A registration is evidence of the content that you submit to us, so it is important to ensure that the full content you want to protect is included when you make your registration. The way to approach this will depend on the type of site you have. Broadly speaking websites normally fall into one of four categories:

    1. Planned / proposed sites

      With a site that is at the planning stage, you may have written content for the site, perhaps some artwork and design ideas, but little (if any) code. This preliminary work can be registered; in fact it is common to do so, and even recommended before you approach third parties to develop your ideas.

      If this is the case, you simply need to get together all the content, images, etc. into a folder on your computer and proceed to ‘How to register’ below.

    2. Built online

      Sites that are created online using a website builder service or content management system.

      1. With back up

        If the facility you use provides the ability to back up your content, or you have access to and are able to back up the datastore that contains your content, then submitting a backup is normally the best option when registering.

      2. Without backup

        If you are not able to make a back up, then you will need to manually assemble the content for registration. The best way to do this is to create a folder on your computer and save to that folder all the content that you wish to submit. There are many ways to do this, including:

        • Using a tool like GNU Wget to download the site contents.
        • From your web browser save each page to your computer (in most browsers there is an option ’Save page as‘ or similar under the file menu).
        • Microsoft Word / Open Office document(s) (or similar) containing all the written content you have added to the site (either copied directly from the web page, or your own originals if you have these).

        Remember to also include any image files that you have created that are used on the site, as well as any other supporting materials or files that you have created that are available on your website.

        Once you have all this data together in a folder you can either burn it to CD/DVD (etc.) or zip it ready form uploading (see ’How to register‘ section below).

    3. Traditional sites

      Sites that are based on non-compiled resources that are hosted on a web server.

      Such sites will consist of some or all of the following elements:

      • HTML/XHTML pages
      • CSS stylesheets
      • Javascript files
      • Images
      • PHP, PERL, (or other interpreted language) scripts and files
      • Downloadable/viewable files (PDF, text files, Microsoft Word or Open Office documents, etc.)

      When registering this type of site, you should submit a copy of the same files that you would upload to your web server.

      If you are using Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Front Page or similar editing software to publish your site, it is advisable to publish the website to a local folder on your system (this will normally ensure that all files are included with the registration), then proceed to ‘How to register’ below

    4. Sites with compiled resources

      Sites that use compiled resources such as Java, .NET, etc.

      With this type of site, the main issue is the source code - Under copyright law, computer programs are principally classified as literary work – that is to say it is principally in the actual written code (i.e. the source code) where copyright exists. So in most circumstance, you will want to include a copy of the source code in your registration deposit.

      If you are registering online, then you should create a zip archive containing all your source code (plus any non-compiled resources - static pages, scripts, images and other files) and upload this when you register. You can of course also upload a copy of the compiled (working) site if you wish to fully illustrate your work.

  3. How to register
    1. Registering Online

      During online registration you will be asked to upload the files that make up your work.

      Websites typically have a lot of files across a multilayered directory structure so special care must be taken to ensure that the structure of your site is preserved during upload.

      You should take the following steps:

      • You should have a directory on your computer containing the full content of your site.
      • Use an application such as WinZipWinRar/Rar7-ZipStuffIt, or Tar to create a single archive file (i.e. a ‘.zip’ or ‘.tar.gz’ file) from the directory (so you now have a single file containing all the content).
      • Upload this archive file when you register online.

      Following this procedure will ensure that the directory structure of the site is preserved.

      We will accept any type of compressed archive files, although we recommend that a non-proprietary format (i.e. .zip, .tar.gz) is used. As with all electronic files you should choose common formats to ensure that software to read the files will be available in the future.

    2. Registering by post

      For postal registrations you simply need to send the copy of the entire site on CD, DVD, BD disc or USB drive with your completed registration form.

  4. Common questions
    1. What happens if my site changes after registration?

      The fact that your work may change and evolve after the registration should not be a concern as we provide a facility to register updates to your work.

      The registration update facility enables you add new versions of your work to the registration, so that the new content is covered. The original registration date and content is retained and each update is stored as a separate item of evidence, effectively building up a record of the evolution of your work over time, (this is very powerful evidence to have in an infringement case).

      You are free to choose how often you update a registration - it not necessary to do so every time the site changes. Generally, registration updates are recommended if there is new content you specifically want to protect. Most website owners/designers will only submit an update when there has been a major change, or something of particular value that they wish to include in the registration. (In most cases, many months will pass between registration updates).

      Updates are charged at a reduced rate (£19.50 online or £27.00 per work for postal updates) for full details please see our fact sheet P-17 Updating Copyright Registrations

    2. Can I be sure that my work is safe?

      Yes. All work we receive and data we store is covered by strict confidentiality and security policies. All staff with access to registered materials have signed confidentiality agreements. Additionally, if you register online, the upload of your work happens oven an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.

      For further details please see our security/privacy documentation.

      If you are still concerned, you may encrypt the files before you submit them for registration, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the means to decrypt the files for the lifetime of the registration.

    3. Can I include other people’s work in my website when I register?

      Provided you have permission from the work owner or the work has a licence that allows you to use it as you intend, and it is clear which parts are not your own (i.e. the work should be attributed to the relevant owner). These conditions would apply before you publish on the Internet in any case so should already be complied with.

      If you do not have permission for any parts (perhaps the site is a proposal stage), then the best option is to remove affected parts from the content you submit for registration.

How to respond to planning applications

Planning deals with all types of development from the construction of wind farms to your neighbour’s porch extension.

Anyone can comment on a planning application even if you do not live near to the application site.

If you haven't been involved in the planning process before then you might like to have a look at the Plain English guide to the planning system.

How do I know when an application has been made?

Once a planning application has been registered, the relevant parties will be told and letters will be sent to the immediate neighbours giving 21 days to comment.  A decision on the application cannot be taken until the expiry of the 21 day public consultation period.

The Local Planning Authority is required to make decisions within eight weeks for most applications and thirteen weeks for major developments.

Comments can still be received after the 21 day consultation period and will be included in the officer assessment provided the decision has not been issued. However, early return of your comments is recommended, preferably prior to the 21 day consultation period to ensure your views are made known to the case officer for inclusion in their assessment of the proposals and to enable the case officer to act upon the comments you made ie request further information/reports/surveys within the life cycle of the application.

Pre-applications are now available to view on the online planning register. They are not under legal consultation and notification rules and may not contain detailed information as they are only in the early stages.  Pre-applications will have PREAPP as the end of the reference number.

How do I comment on a planning application?

Comment on a planning application online

You can comment on a planning application online using the link above, by email at or by letter to the local planning office.  Comments should be made within 21 days however, they can be accepted after this time but may not be considered when a decision is made.

Any comments which are made online or in writing will be published on the Council’s website for everyone to see, this will include your name and address. Please note that confidential or anonymous comments will not be considered.

When making a comment please make sure that it is not offensive, harmful or untrue, if it is, your comment will be removed from the website.  You are responsible for any statements that you make.

Appropriate checks will be made to ensure the authenticity of online accounts and comments posted. Any account or comments found to be fraudulant will be removed.

Help commenting online

The following video shows how to make a comment online.

Commenting on a pre-application planning enquiry

Whilst details of pre-application planning enquiries have been made public via the online planning register, because they are not planning applications they are not subject to the statutory consultation or notification requirements. Your comments are not being sought at this stage.  Should a formal pre-application community engagement forum be held, feedback from all attendees at a forum will be taken into account in the case officer's pre-application response.  Any comments from interested parties after a Forum should be sent direct to the applicant/agent and not to the Council as this is at pre-application stage.  Details of the Council's updated process for Community Engagement can be found on the pre-application advice page.  Please note this process is due to commence in May 2017.

If following the advice given in response to a pre-application request a developer submits a planning application, there will then be an opportunity to comment.

You will not be notified of an application unless your property boundary is next to the proposed development site. You can check to see if an application has been received using the Council’s on-line planning register, or register to receive an e-mail notification should an application be submitted.

Alternatively you may wish to contact the applicant/agent direct beforehand using their details provided on-line, to make them aware of your concerns.

What should my comments include?

Your comments can only be properly considered if you give reasons which relate to the planning application and to planning matters.

When considering a planning application it is not whether owners and tenants of nearby properties would experience financial or other loss from a development, but whether the proposal would affect the local buildings and facilities as well as the existing use of land and buildings which should be protected.

Planning applications need to be judged in accordance with adopted development plan documents unless there are relevant planning considerations which suggest otherwise.  Some examples of what are relevant planning considerations and what are not are outlined in the table below.  It is important that your comments stick to the points shown on the left hand side of the table.

Issues that are considered relevant in planning decisions

Relevant considerations

Planning considerations which are not relevant

  • Local Development Framework
  • Development Plan documents
  • Supplementary planning documents
  • The Statement of Community Involvement
  • The annual monitoring report
  • Government planning guidance
  • The Council’s corporate policies
  • Highway safety and traffic levels
  • Noise, disturbance and smells resulting from the proposed development
  • Design, appearance and layout
  • Conservation of buildings, trees and open land
  • Flood risk
  • Impact on the appearance of the area
  • Effect on the level of daylight and privacy of existing property
  • Need to safeguard the countryside or protected species of plant or animal
  • Planning case law and previous decisions
  • The need for the development
  • The planning history of the site
  • Private property rights such as covenants
  • The developer's identity, morals or motives
  • Effect on the value of your property
  • Loss of a private view
  • Private neighbour disputes

How are a number of letters with the same text processed?

If your letter is one of a number of letters with the same text, it will be scanned and made available on the online planning register in the “documents tab”.

If we receive a large number of letters it will not be possible to add all names to the “comments” tab or for each individual letter to be included in the number of comments. However, each letter will be seen by the officer and the points raised will be included when looking at the application.

Please make sure you include your own email address on your letter so that we can let you know if the application goes to the Planning Committee.

What about a petition?

If you think a lot of people agree with you about a planning application you can organise a petition.

If you decide to organise a petition, please make sure that:

  • it clearly says the purpose of the petition
  • it gives the reasons why people are supporting or objecting to the application
  • the names and addresses of the people signing the petition can be easily read
  • there is a contact name and address for the person organising the petition

Petitions can support as well as oppose planning proposals and will be published on the Council’s website.

What happens after I submit my comments?

If you submit your comments online using the online planning register you can track the updates to the application and will be told when a decision has been made.  To do this you need to log into your account, go to the application and then select “track”.

If you have submitted your comments by letter you will not receive a response but your points will be considered and mentioned in the officer’s report.  You will be told if the application is referred to the relevant committee, where you may have the opportunity to speak.

Most applications are dealt with under delegated powers where the decision is made by a senior officer, however, some applications will be referred to the relevant area-based Planning Sub Committee and applications which could have a large affect on Cornwall will go to the Strategic Planning Committee. Further information can be found via the links below.

What else can I do?

Contact your local Councillor – Your local councillor can help you understand the planning process and will work closely with officers within the Council.  You may wish to speak to your local councillor about your views on an application as well as speaking to the local planning office.

Contact your Local Council - Parish and Town Councils are spoken to about planning applications in their area.  If you have an opinion about an application you can tell the local council as well as the local planning office.

Find out more about the role of local councils in planning.

Do I have a right to appeal if I disagree with the decision?

Neighbours or other relevant parties cannot appeal against a decision once it had been made.  The only person with a right to appeal is the applicant.  If the applicant does appeal everyone who has written to the Council concerning the appeal proposal will be told in writing.

Granite State Red Tape Scuttles $1.6B Northern Pass Project

CONCORD, N.H. (CN) – New Hampshire environmentalists claimed victory Wednesday after the state’s largest utility lost its conditional selection for a $1.6 billion Massachusetts hydropower project.

Known as the Northern Pass, the Eversource project would have involved running a 192-mile transmission line through New Hampshire from Canada.

With opponents saying that the new power lines would destroy scenic views of the White Mountains, damage pristine forest, and hurt tourism and property values, New Hampshire’s Site Evaluation Committee unanimously denied a permit for project in February.

Though Eversource had been appealing the decision, Massachusetts announced Wednesday that it had found an alternative that will keep the project on an accelerated timelines, as required by the state’s 2016 renewable-energy law.

Instead of going through the Granite State, the Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs said it will partner with Maine to run 145 miles of new transmission lines from Canada to Lewiston, Maine.

The announcement spurred swift applause from opponents of the project including the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.

“Massachusetts came to the only logical conclusion, that Northern Pass won’t be built through New Hampshire, and isn’t an option going forward,” Jack Savage, a spokesman for that society, in a statement. “The extension cord is now unplugged.“

National groups meanwhile emphasized that their work is not done.

“It is too soon to celebrate however,” the Sierra Club in a statement. “Governor Baker’s second choice to meet Massachusetts’ energy needs, New England Clean Energy Connect, carries many of the same problems as Northern Pass.”

Eversource meanwhile said it understood Massachusetts’ decision but vowed to continue with the project.

“Despite recent delays, we continue to believe that Northern Pass is the best project for the region and New Hampshire, and we intend to pursue all options for making it a reality,” the company’s statement says. “Eversource and Hydro-Québec remain committed to the success of the project.”

Let me start by saying that in no way is this an advertising post, if the Mods disagree, please let me know and I'll fix what you want

So, my big Sister started writing children's stories after giving up work 3 years ago due to health reasons. Fast forward to last year and one of her first stories is picked up by a publishing house! Her book officially launched for sale (US and Canada mainly)  2 days ago and she is off for her book launch & signing events next week to New Orleans, where the story is set.

It is also her birthday while she is away so I decided that I had to make her something extra special this year....so I have made a clay sculpture of the main character in the book  Grin Meet Tartan Gator:

I have been lucky enough to have seen many of the stages in the development of the finished book, which included getting sneak previews of the illustrations and even helping out with a few visuals for the illustrator to work with.

Early on she had a finished image for what Gator might look like made into a business card so I used that as my reference when modeling him. I used simple air dry clay and managed to model him 1st time.  Cheesy

After I gave him a week to fully dry, I did an undercoat of white acrylic - I had already done a test sample of the paints, colours and varnishes on a spare piece of clay to be sure it would turn out exactly how I wanted.

Next came the first coat of colour on his tummy

Then I started on the Tartan. Each colour had to have at least two coats - first green, then purple, then yellow.

Once he was all painted I varnished him all over except his tummy which I would have to glue to the stand.

Just a little excerpt from the book

And speaking of the stand - I couldn't find anything that was exactly what I wanted so my incredibly talented father and mother made me one using a beech log from their log pile! Dad split, cut, sanded and smoothed the wood, Mum filled all the tiny holes from the branch knots and the Dad varnished it with 2 coats of lovely rich varnish. I then glued purple felt to the bottom and the Gator to the top.

The last thing was an engraved plaque with the title and her name (I had this professionally engraved)

We gave it to my sister today as an early present and she totally loved him (hope she doesn't mind the pic!)

And here is a shot of the inside for the book with him for comparison

So what do you think?  Wink

It looks AWESOME!  He looks so cute, what a great smile.

I love that your parents helped in making it too.  The attention to detail is great, and I love the plaque!

Your sister may be a talented author, but you obviously have quite a lot of talent yourself. Lovely job! (Although it does seem odd to refer to an alligator as lovely! Grin) Can't wait to get my hands on the book.

The creature is exactly like his portrait. I'm also impressed by your patience in painting all those fiddly little tartan squares.  I would have gotten impatient and botched it by trying to hurry. Lovely alligator.

Google Cloud Messaging for Android – Understanding the Basics

Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that allows you to send data from your server to your users’ Android-powered device. This could be a lightweight message telling your app there is new data to be fetched from the server (for instance, a movie uploaded by a friend), or it could be a message containing up to 4kb of payload data (so apps like instant messaging can consume the message directly).

The GCM service handles all aspects of queuing of messages and delivery to the target Android application running on the target device. GCM is completely free no matter how big your messaging needs are, and there are no quotas.

Here are the primary characteristics of Google Cloud Messaging (GCM):

  •  It allows 3rd-party application servers to send messages to their Android applications.
  • An Android application on an Android device doesn’t need to be running to receive messages. The system will wake up the Android application via Intent broadcast when the message arrives, as long as the application is set up with the proper broadcast receiver and permissions.
  • It does not provide any built-in user interface or other handling for message data. GCM simply passes raw message data received straight to the Android application, which has full control of how to handle it. For example, the application might post a notification, display a custom user interface, or silently sync data.
  • It requires devices running Android 2.2 or higher that also have the Google Play Store application installed, or an emulator running Android 2.2 with Google APIs. However, you are not limited to deploying your Android applications through Google Play Store.
  • It uses an existing connection for Google services. For pre-3.0 devices, this requires users to set up their Google account on their mobile devices. A Google account is not a requirement on devices running Android 4.0.4 or higher.

Pigeons Removal

How To Identify Pigeon Problems

pigeons raleigh removal critter controlIdentifying Pigeon Damage and Risks

Pigeons carry several transmittable diseases that can be caught by other animals and humans. Health concerns, such as the spread of certain illnesses, occur because pigeon droppings contain bacteria and fungi. The most common transmittable diseases pigeons carry include:

  • Cryptococcus
  • Histoplasmosis
  • Toxoplasmosis
  • Pigeon Ornithosis
  • Encephalitis
  • Salmonellas

Identifying pigeon nuisance problems as they occur can save people from long-term cleanup and damage control. Pigeons cost Americans millions of dollars in damage each year, from roofs and machinery, to ventilation systems and automobiles, to health costs. With economic risks, it is imperative to regularly plan and strategize methods of cleaning your property and community.

How Critter Control Can Help You

Critter Control of the Triangle utilizes control strategies to help people get rid of pigeons and repair the damage they cause. Pigeon trapping is a key approach Critter Control follows to stop problems associated with health and damage concerns. We can inhibit pigeon population growth in certain areas by sealing off entry ways in buildings and open areas where large groups of people gather.

As the nation’s leading wildlife control firm, we explore all options in stopping pigeon loafing, reducing significant amounts of damage in your community and local property. Please contact a Critter Control professional today to resolve any problems you are having with pigeons and property damage. If you are in need of pigeon control, trapping and removal services, Critter Control can help. Contact us today at (919) 382-0651 for more information.

Introducing the New AWS Amplify CLI Toolchain

AWS Amplify has released a brand new CLI Toolchain that makes it easy to create & configure AWS cloud services on the fly directly from your local environment.

The CLI will allow you to add features like authentication, GraphQL APIs, Lambda functions, web hosting, analytics, storage & more to your existing app without leaving your command line.

This CLI complements the AWS Amplify Library to provide an end to end solution for the creation, configuration, & implementation of scalable cloud-enabled applications with a Rails-like experience focusing on developer efficiency. AWS Amplify supports not only JavaScript applications & frameworks like Angular, React, & React Native, but also native iOS & native Android.

Many of the AWS Amplify CLI features are serverless, meaning you can hook into an existing battle-tested & scalable solution instead of building, managing & deploying your own infrastructure from scratch.

This CLI & toolchain for the client greatly lowers the barrier to entry for developers & companies looking to build full-stack applications allowing them to not only iterate & experiment quickly, but also giving them the ability to do so at a lower cost.

AWS Amplify also offers an opportunity for traditionally front-end developers to leverage their existing skillset / language specialty & move further up the stack by taking advantage of services like Amazon Cognito for authentication & AWS AppSync, a completely managed GraphQL API, that would traditionally require a back-end developer to implement.

Amplify CLI Categories & Services

Additional Toolchain Features

Along with the CLI there were also some other major new features released.

GraphQL Transforms

AWS Amplify has added a GraphQL Transformer library that drastically simplifies developing, deploying, and maintaining GraphQL APIs from your local environment. You can define a schema with a basic type(s), add directives for things like data relationships, authorization, or search, and then the the library expands and creates a full AWS CloudFormation template that implements your data model.

GraphQL Codegen

The AWS Amplify CLI has added a new codegen category that plugs into the deployment workflow that automatically downloads the GraphQL introspection schemas from your endpoint, and generates Swift or TypeScript. For Android it also downloads the schema & the code generation happens through Gradle.

This codegen automatically creates the introspection schema as well as GraphQL documents (queries, mutations, and subscriptions) that are compiled into a strongly typed class.

Visual Studio Code Plugin

The AWS Amplify VS Code plugin gives you autocomplete & code snippets for many of the Amplify API features available in the library for use in JavaScript, TypeScript, or JSX files.

UI Component Library

Also check out the beginnings of a new component library that allows you to scaffold out pre-styles & configured components to build out things like authentication & photo-pickers with only a few lines of code.

Client-side Frameworks

While the AWS Amplify CLI supports both native & JavaScript environments, the AWS Amplify library only supports JavaScript for now.

There is also first-class support for JavaScript frameworks like Vue, Angular, React, React Native, & Ionic. The library provides preconfigured components for these libraries to do things like provide an authentication flow, allow for file uploads & file downloads.

My Thoughts

I’m really excited about this project. I had a chance to learn about AWS Amplify before joining AWS back when I was doing consulting. When I saw what they were working on & their vision of the future, I immediately knew that this is where I wanted to be.

AWS Amplify moves us into a new paradigm of application development that we’ve not really seen before, but something that you will undoubtedly be seeing a lot more of in the future.

With these new tools developers have the ability to take advantage of existing managed services, allowing us as developers to do what we do best: develop our applications, write code, create features, fix bugs & experiment.

I think we will begin to see more & more serverless web & mobile engineers that are tasked with not only building out the front-end, but also with understanding how to create, connect to, & configure managed & serverless services. I also see this as a burgeoning job title / role that will eventually be as common as a front-end or back-end engineer.

The CLI allows you to initialize new cloud projects directly inside of any project & immediately start interacting with them.

What this workflow might look like is:

  1. Create or open a web / mobile project
  2. Initialize a new AWS Amplify project in the root directory
  3. Begin adding services that you would like using the AWS Amplify CLI
  4. Interact with these services using the AWS Amplify library

Once your features are created, you can then update & delete them directly from the CLI.

Getting Started

Installing & Configuring the CLI

To get started you need to install the AWS Amplify CLI.

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

Next, we will configure the CLI:

amplify configure

If you would like to see a video going through the configuration process including creating a new AWS IAM User, check out this video.

Using AWS Amplify in a Front-end Project

Let’s take a look at how to add authentication with Amazon Cognito & implement it into a React app.

In the root of the React project we can go ahead and initialize a new Amplify project:

amplify init

To add authentication we can run the following command:

amplify add auth

When prompted, use the default configuration.

Next, we’ll push the updated configuration to our AWS account:

amplify push

Now, the service has been initialized in our account & we can begin using it!

To add authentication to our React app using the new service, we’ll need to do three things:

  1. Install the AWS Amplify client libraries.
  2. Configure our client project to recognize our new Amplify project configuration.
  3. Add the authentication functionality into the React app.

Installing the AWS Amplify client libraries

To install the AWS Amplify library, we can use either npm or yarn.

yarn add aws-amplify aws-amplify-react
# or
npm install --save aws-amplify aws-amplify-react

Configuring the client project to recognize the new Amplify project configuration

To configure the client application, we can go into index.js and add the following code below the last import:

import Amplify from 'aws-amplify'
import config from './aws-exports'

Adding the authentication functionality

Finally, in the main component of the app, we can add the following:

import { withAuthenticator } from 'aws-amplify-react'
export default withAuthenticator(App)

Now, we should be able to run the app & have a basic authentication flow working!

If you would like to view the service, go to the Amazon Cognito dashboard, click on Manage User Pools, then click on the name of the application you just created.

Baccarat Crystal has, from the beginning, affixed its signature on strong works illustrating all the facets of artistic craftsmanship and covering a vast repertoire of inspiration.

In 1764 King Louis XV of France gave Bishop Montmorency-Laval of Metz permission to found a glassworks in the village of Baccarat located in Lorraine in eastern France.

The creations of great artists inspired by the magic of crystal are all magnificent stones brought together into building the Art de Vivre collection.

This is how Baccarat perpetuates the great French tradition of a cosmopolitan art of living. Envisioned by Philippe Starck, the Baccarat House in Paris, home to the brand's headquarters, is a meeting place for its most beautiful creations and one of its most beautiful manifestations.
