Universal Principles of Design, Revised and Updated: 125 Ways to Enhance Usability, Influence Perception, Increase Appeal, Make Better Design Decisions, and Teach through Design




Whether a marketing campaign or a museum exhibit, a video game or a complex control system, the design we see is the culmination of many concepts and practices brought together from a variety of disciplines. Because no one can be an expert on everything, designers have always had to scramble to find the information and know-how required to make a design work—until now.


Universal Principles of Design, Revised and Updated is a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary encyclopedia of design. Richly illustrated and easy to navigate, it pairs clear explanations of every design concept with visual examples of the concepts applied in practice. From the "80/20” rule to chunking, from baby-face bias to Occam's razor, and from self-similarity to storytelling, every major design concept is defined and illustrated for readers to expand their knowledge.


This landmark reference will become the standard for designers, engineers, architects, and students who seek to broaden and improve their design expertise.

South Florida Digital Alliance Recruits Cloud Computing Concepts (C3) to Technology Coalition



The South Florida Digital Alliance (SFDA) has recruited Palm Beach County-based Cloud Computing Concepts (C3) to join the diverse coalition that currently spans major government, healthcare, education, private sector, and non-profit organizations throughout South Florida. As the newest member of SFDA, C3 joins a well-vetted roster of stakeholders that include Microsoft; FiberLight; FPL FiberNet; Miami Data Vault; twTelecom; US Gas & Electric; Florida East Coast Realty; Cities of Miami, Miami Beach, Doral; Knight Foundation, Florida International University, Miami Dade College, Mount Sinai Medical Center, and South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association. C3 is tasked with providing cutting-edge Cloud technologies, on-site support, and disaster recovery/business continuity solutions to fellow SFDA members while contributing a portion of its revenues, Cloud capacity, and technical staff time to support the SFDA’s mission of bridging the digital divide in South Florida.

Headquartered in Boca Raton, C3 was recognized as a 2012 Florida Company to Watch by the Florida Economic Gardening Institute (GrowFL) at the University of Central Florida. C3’s selection was based on strong employee and sales growth, exceptional entrepreneurial leadership, a sustainable competitive advantage, outstanding corporate culture, inspired community giving and other notable strengths. As a testament to its unique combination of Cloud-based services and custom tailored on-site support, C3 is ranked number 84 among the world’s top 100 cloud service providers (CSPs) in the Nine Lives Media’s second-annual Talkin’ Cloud 100 report.


“With C3 as a partner, the SFDA will be better equipped to position and build respect for South Florida as a competitive game-changing force in the global IT space,” noted James E. Osteen, Jr., executive director of the South Florida Digital Alliance/Miami-Dade Broadband Coalition. “After a multi-year search, we feel that in C3 we have finally found the ideal Cloud and Managed Service provider to assist in reliably delivering the cutting-edge technology services required to foster and support economic growth throughout the region. C3 has demonstrated the community leadership in this area that is critical to furthering our Alliance’s digital literacy, outreach and engagement mission.”


C3 CEO Rick Mancinelli added that everyone at C3 — from management to our technical team members — is pleased to have been invited to join the impressive, accomplished, forward-focused SFDA membership. 


“As a result of the economic challenges of recent times, many organizations are struggling with aging infrastructure, technical talent shortages, and tightening budgets,” he noted. “C3’s unique combination of Cloud services and custom tailored on site consulting and support can help companies, nonprofits, and government agencies overcome these challenges and better position them for future success.” He further noted that, rather than providing commodity IT hardware and support, C3 prides itself on delivering an IT ‘experience’ that is all encompassing, proactive, and designed to meet the needs of each individual client for a fixed monthly fee.


In 2011, C3 grew its revenue nearly 200% and in 2012, the Company expanded its IT and sales teams and added a second Cloud hosting facility in New York City. Since January of this year, C3 has continued to expand its staff, broadened its geographic coverage to include Philadelphia and surrounding Delaware Valley area, and has begun planning for a third Cloud hosting facility in Nevada.

Wine Stopper - Vacuum Wine Stopper Pump with 2 Wine Bottle Stoppers - Best New Design Wine Saver Vacuum Pump, Wine Preservation System - Top Rated Wine Preserver Pump and Unique Cork Will Seal in the Wine's Complexities and Aroma for Days



DISCOVER THE SECRET OF HOW TO MAKE YOUR WINE LAST LONGER


The VinoTru Vacuum Wine Stopper with 2 Wine Stoppers

One reason that compels wine drinkers to polish off a bottle of wine after opening it is so that they can fully enjoy the unspoiled taste of the wine. Wine can go to waste when opened and left too long to settle, losing their complexities and aroma. Leave a bottle of wine open and it will suffer under oxidation, which ruins the original taste, kills off alcohol content and can turn the wine sour and flat.

The Benefits of a VinoTru Vacuum Wine Stopper

- The VinoTru vacuum stopper is a popular wine preservation system because of its simplicity and effectiveness.
- Wine connoisseurs mark at most five days worth of extended life for bottles that have our vacuum stoppers.
- Some wines can last more than a week when preserved using this system.
- More effective than other preservation methods like the use of decorative stoppers, pourers and inert gas.
- Our vacuum wine stoppers are affordable and at the same time, provide an adequate protection against oxidation and leakage.
- Our system is the best bargain for wine preservation due to its price, life, and ease of use.

Cleaning the VinoTru Wine Stoppers

Simply rinse the stopper with running water, and the stoppers can be reused for other bottles. Soaping the stopper should be avoided, as the soap particles can affect the wine's taste.

While manually some stages can be completed effectively without any issues there are some stages that requires automation and certain Software Tools are thus implemented to add pace and ensure the successful completion of the stage. Some of the widely recommended such tools include requirement management, test management, project management, use case management and more such tools.

Testing tools is one of the most important Software Tools required in any kind of software development. Testing is one of the most important aspects of software development that requires conducting repeated tests with same or slightly changed data repeatedly. Though some tests can be performed manually, others might not to be possible because it would be monotonous that would only contribute in enhancing the risk of bad quality software. With the help of test management tools a software project can be managed much more carefully and that too within a short period of time. Through these tools testers can create test cases based on use case scenarios, create test scenarios based formal models like Decision Tables and State Models, maintain pass/fail status on test case level, the test set level as well as the requirement level.


Project management is another tool which is invincible for any software project. Managing project activities successfully is very important as it ensures that deadline is met without any kind of bug or quality issue. A quality project management tool must have the feature like allocating and managing project resources, roles, responsibilities as well as accessing rights, creating and managing project task for both development and testing on project and requirement level, create and maintain action item lists for both development and testing effort, creating and maintaining project timeline for all project tasks for development and testing etc.


These are the just two types of common Software Tools required for any kinds of software development and the list is quite long. However, it is also important to ensure that tools are selected properly and thoroughly so that each of them provides the desired service. Understanding the features as well as the functionality of the tools combined with organizational requirement ensures a successful tool selection.

Celerant’s real-time (http://www.celerant.com/retail-system-architecture/real-t...), retail management system (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/), Command Retail (http://www.commandretail.com/), has managed all areas of The Shoe Gallery’s retail operations, including point of sale (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/point-of-sale/), inventory management, E-Commerce (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/e-commerce/), customer relationship management (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/crm/), warehouse (http://www.celerant.com/retail-software/warehouse/), distribution, allocation, and back-office for the past seven years. 

Ian Goldman, President and CEO of Celerant Technology, said, “In developing our software, we focus on all of the retailer’s needs. From customer-facing functions to back-office reporting, we provide the retailer with a complete real-time, all-in-one system.  For footwear retailers (http://www.celerant.com/retail-industries/foot-wear/), it is necessary to categorize shoes by size, width, and color, so we developed a detailed Style Matrix in our inventory module.  The style matrix is a three-dimensional graphical representation of all the SKUs by size, width, and color.  We also have 20 optional Open Fields, which can be used to further classify the product, by heel height for instance.  Each retailer can use the system in a way that makes sense for their business, because we understand that each retailer is unique.” 


For The Shoe Gallery’s CFO Will Brooks, Celerant’s Style Matrix is imperative. Brooks said, “I wouldn’t have bought the system without it. It’s critical. We have four stores and an integrated E-Commerce site and a lot of inventory. With the Matrix we can see what we have in stock and what we’ve sold and we can easily buy our most popular items and restock. If we didn’t have the size/width/color matrix, we’d have to revert back to pen and paper and go to the sales floor and stock room to count the inventory before placing reorder. With Celerant, I can look at the Matrix and create a purchase order with ease. It’s saved so much time!”


Brooks believes Command Retail has accelerated The Shoe Gallery’s growth. “We are very pleased with the trajectory of growth we have achieved with Celerant. The E-Commerce site took our regional stores to a national level. The real-time visibility of the style matrix lets us compare inventory across all of our stores and website. We’re able to see at a glance where styles are selling better, so we can allocate our products where they are needed most. Without Celerant, I wouldn’t be able to react to sales trends as quickly and I would have more stock-outs and over-stocks, which would drive my customers to competitors’ stores.”


The Shoe Gallery carries famous name brand shoes for the whole family, including discount shoes for kids as well as a wide range of fashionable accessories. They currently have four locations across Georgia, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. The Shoe Gallery shoes are also available at www.shoegalleryonline.com.

Towards a paperless NHS: Removing the paper trail from Secondary Care to GP Practices



St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust implemented PCTI’s EDT Hub (http://www.docman.com/products/edt-hub.asp) to transfer patient letters electronically to 78 practices. In January, the Trust sent over 18,000 patient letters electronically using EDT Hub. The Trust is now sending Discharge Summaries from A&E and Outpatient departments electronically with an aim to integrate further clinical correspondence through EDT Hub and increase the volume of documents that will be sent electronically.

Streamlining the transfer of information


The primary function of the medical discharge summary is to support the continuity of care as the patient returns to the care of the primary care provider. St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust previously generated approximately 7000 medical discharges per month utilising a paper-based, manual process. Approximately 85% of paper medical discharge summaries are for patients registered to St. Helens, Halton and Knowsley GPs.


Delivery of a paper letter can be time consuming to process and transfer to a GP practice. The process often takes days; however, by utilising an electronic system, a streamlined process enables the seamless transfer of patient letters electronically between organisations without putting patient care on hold, resulting in a seamless and immediate transfer of a patient’s care.


Safer and improved delivery of GP correspondence


The objectives of the EDT Hub project were for the delivery of the electronic discharge summaries containing clear, concise and legible information to GP’s to lead to safer and improved continuity of care between secondary and primary providers.  The discharge is distributed to GP’s with a  comprehensive audit trail (http://www.docman.com/products/docman.asp) with the knowledge that every letter can be tracked and confirmed delivery.


It is accepted the legibility of the information recorded on the paper discharge summary, specifically the ‘To Take Out’ (TTO), discharge medications data was of an inconsistent quality due to the hand written nature and manual amendments to the original information.


The approach at the Trust is that the electronic discharge summary becomes a live document from the moment the patient is admitted to hospital. The development of a comprehensive electronic discharge template which is used across the Trust for in-patient discharge is designed to ensure that GPs receive appropriate information in a timely and secure manner.


Project Background


GPs, patients and carers have, over many years, expressed discontent about the generally poor quality of paper discharge summaries. In order to address this problem, a standardised electronic Discharge summary has been developed. The electronic discharge summary ensures comprehensive and consistent information based upon guidance from the Academy of Royal Colleges and tailored for speciality specific input, and is delivered to GPs in a timely manner.


The deployment of ICE eDischarge commenced in late December with appropriate training and user support as required. The initial rollout focused on Medical and Surgical inpatient wards, moving onto deployment in associated assessment areas across Whiston and St. Helens hospitals. eDischarge summaries will be applicable to inpatient discharge, transfers and deceased patients.


A paper process is time consuming and costly


Sending the discharge summary using a postal system means the Trust needs to print, manually handle the letter, transport it, insert into an envelope, frank and transport the letter to a mail room. The cost of sending a paper letter is between 50p and £1 per letter and incurs a process of up to 1 minute per letter to manually handle the letter before it reaches the courier service.


Distribution of poor quality data to Primary Care may lead to:


Serious incidents occurring
Staff and patients being put at risk through invalid or incorrect decisions being made about a patient’s care
Loss of confidence in the validity of the recorded information
Adverse results from the Healthcare Commission through the Annual Health Check.
Poor management decisions within or about the Trust
Loss of income to the Trust (through payment-by-results)


The solution


EDT Hub is a multi-directional document transfer platform that provides a secure, reliable and flexible platform for the electronic communication of documentation between secondary, primary and social care providers. EDT Hub captures documents from Secondary Care systems and distributes them to GP practices. EDT Hub is one of the most commonly used solutions for sending and receiving electronic patient letters directly to and from GP practices. Practices using Docman receive electronic documents directly from the Hub into


Docman’s workflow engine. The benefits include no requirement for scanning, auto-patient matching, pre-populated filing fields and significantly improved document processing time. Docman provides a complete electronic document management, messaging and workflow solution for over 6,000 GP practices. Docman simplifies workflow processes by easily presenting electronic letters in front of individuals to review, comment, highlight or note simple actions. GPs will spend less time on administrative tasks, whilst being able to access information from any computer in the practice and be up to date with a patient’s record instantly.

The National Centre for Craft & Design is 10 and Growing



The National Centre for Craft & Design is 10 years old – what an amazing decade it’s been! We’ve attracted 758,645 visitors, presented 160 world-class exhibitions, launched 8 touring exhibitions reaching audiences of more than 117,000 across 30 venues, and welcomed over 19,000 people to our learning programmes.  

We’d like to thank all our visitors and supporters – and encourage new ones – by inviting everyone to join us for a birthday celebration.  We’re holding a free afternoon of fun and creativity for all ages at our iconic building on Navigation Wharf, Sleaford, and we’ll also be unveiling our latest exhibition, ‘Growing: Celebrating our Past, Exploring our Future’.


Activities will take place inside and outside.  There will be live music, dancing, ‘Make & Take’ workshops, demonstrations, craft drop-in sessions for all ages, yarn-bombing, badge-making, storytelling, ice cream, delicious food to enjoy in our riverside café, beautiful objects to buy in our fantastic shop, and three more exhibitions to see, plus ‘Growing’. Booking is not required as activities are on a first come basis


For our exhibition ‘Growing’, we invited some of the UK’s leading figures in the sphere of contemporary craft and design – artists, curators, writers and influencers – to nominate work by emerging and established artists who they believe will be the innovators of the future. Over 30 artists have been proposed by our nominators to create an exhibition demonstrating a wide range of craft media and forms: textiles, ceramics, glass, jewellery, basketry, furniture and millinery. There will be an online gallery to complement the physical exhibition, showing work by all the nominated artists.            


ENDS -  Editor’s notes below
EDITOR’S NOTES


The National Centre for Craft and Design sits at the heart of the market town of Sleaford, Lincolnshire in the riverside setting of Navigation Wharf. It is a unique and ambitious gallery that exhibits the most innovative, challenging and accomplished artists practicing within the craft and design arena today. The centre has four exhibition spaces including the largest gallery space in England dedicated to craft and design, a roof top gallery and a vibrant window space.


Our public programme is built around the themes of each exhibition and offers a lively and stimulating series of learning and participatory events including talks, workshops, conferences, clubs, groups, activities, lectures, seminars, screenings, short courses, and demonstration days. Our shop provides a visually stunning and inspirational area for demonstrating and promoting creative talent and our licensed café is a popular destination for local families and business people seeking a creative respite, or just a cup of coffee!


Open from 10am to 5pm every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

10th Birthday celebration workshops on 20 July include:
•   Anna Collette Hunt offers a glimpse into her world of ceramic bugs  
•   Jeweller Aimee Betts demonstrates cording, braiding, knotting and linking techniques to create rope-work jewellery
•   Helen Snell demonstrates paper sculpture techniques. Visitors can create a paper boat sculpture inspired by her ‘Flotilla’ artwork in the gallery.
•   Textile artist Naseem Darbey offers a chance to explore her techniques.


‘Growing: Celebrating our Past, Exploring our Future’ runs from 20 July to 29 September.  It takes its lead from the very first exhibition held at The National Centre for Craft & Design, in 2003 called ‘What is Craft?, an exhibition of some of Britain’s most celebrated and best recognised makers. The 10th anniversary of The NCCD comes at an exciting time for contemporary craft. Technical and conceptual innovations have taken craft forward in exciting and unexpected ways, whilst the economic downturn has led to a re-evaluation of traditional techniques and re-use of materials. This exhibition will provoke new ideas and stimulate new ways of thinking about craft as a whole. The artworks displayed in ‘Growing’ are destined to become the icons of the future


Our own NCCD nomination is Paulo Goldstein, a Project Space artist at Collect 2013, the Crafts Council’s prestigious craft fair. We are commissioning Paulo to create new work as part of his ‘Repair is Beautiful’ collection. Our second commission will be a mini -residency throughout the opening weekend of the exhibition by performance craft artist Alec Stevens, who will be making new work in response to visitor input.


Crafts Council Director Rosy Greenlees nominated basketry artist Stella Harding for her innovative use of material and techniques and ambitious approach to scale and Sarah Warsop, “for her movement inspired jewellery which draws directly on her experience as a dancer and choreographer”. Journalist and former director of the Design Museum Alice Rawsthorn proposed Dutch based Italian designers Formafantasma, whose work comments on nostalgia and tradition. Japanese-born Hitomi Hosono, winner of the prestigious Perrier-Jouët Arts Salon Prize 2013, impressed Bonnie Kemske, Editor of Ceramic Review, who nominated her exquisitely delicate and detailed porcelain sculptures adorned with intricate patterns influenced by traditional British ceramic techniques.


A body of ceramic work will also be on show by Joseph Hartley, New Designers 2013 ‘Designer of the Year’ whose work impressed no less than five of our nominators. There will be textiles by Mister Finch and Mai Tabakian, the latter selected by artist Gabriel Dawe. We are also showing glass from Samantha Donaldson (nominated by our sister organisation Design Factory), jewellery by Lisa Juen and furniture from designer  Sebastian Cox.


Complementing the exhibition will be an online gallery of all nominated artists’ work expanding on the physical show. This online gallery will offer an opportunity for comment and debate on the subject of the future of craft and design as well as an opportunity to view the exhibited artworks from afar.


In her essay for ‘What is Craft?’, Louise Taylor (then director of the Crafts Council) said: “Craft retains its traditional core but many innovators are challenging boundaries and using the language of ‘craftsmanship’ in new ways”. These words still pertain today, especially the extraordinary 3D printed work created by Michael Eden, nominated by leading ceramics specialist Adrian Sassoon, whose work uses new technologies to explore and alter traditional and iconic English designs.

Turn your iPhone into a mobile scanner for free!



Pixelnetica, an established leader in mobile computer vision application development, is pleased to announce the release of a new Free version of SharpScan with all of the functionality of the Professional product. SharpScan is the industry-leading mobile scanning app for the iPhone. Its unparalleled image processing speed and quality allows user to scan documents and photos on the go in less than 3 seconds per page. 

Simply taking a picture of a document with the iPhone camera does not result in document quality images. Photos display geometric distortion resulting from the angle of the camera in relation to the document and often have unwanted background shadows. SharpScan was created to overcome these inherent shortcomings and to produce high-quality documents from the iPhone just as if they were scanned with a conventional scanner. Scanner-quality documents can now be produced on-the-go quickly, easily, and conveniently from any iPhone.


SharpScan’s unique Smart Crop feature offers fully automated boundary detection, cropping, image alignment, and perspective correction for fast, accurate image acquisition, though these parameters may be adjusted manually by the user as well. 


Non-destructive image editing features are included that allow the user the freedom to edit and experiment with their documents with the confidence that they can always revert to the original image. 


SharpScan it is the only mobile scanning app on the market that creates tiny true Black-and-White, scanner-quality, PDF images. Combined with the lossless image compression results in files which are up to 20 times smaller than a normal JPEG, an extremely important feature when data transfer speed or cost is an issue.


SharpScan’s provides a pleasant mobile experience through its intuitive user interface. The menus are laid out clearly and are easy to navigate and the controls are simple to master allowing users convenient access to all of its advanced features, including document password protection, printing and integrated sharing via email, Dropbox and etc.


 “SharpScan raises the bar for mobile scanning applications to a new level,” says Pixelnetica CEO, Dmitry Harchenko, “It’s designed to take full advantage of the iPhone’s hardware capabilities such as muticore processing and GPU acceleration. Our proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms that accurately identify the edge of a document and automatically make cropping decisions without help from the user are unmatched by our competitors.”


But Pixelnetica is not resting on its laurels. The company is hard at work on a new version that will feature improved algorithms, faster speeds, and high quality as well as support for tablets and synchronization across devices via the cloud. Users of the current version will receive the upgrade free of charge.


The only difference between the free version and the full versions is that the free version includes in-application advertising and the PDFs include a reference to the product, though the images themselves remain unaffected. These minor limitations can be eliminated at anytime by purchasing the full version conveniently from the app.


Both SharpScan and SharpScan Pro are available through the Apple store. For more information, including screenshots, demonstration videos, tutorials, and answers to Frequently Asked Questions, please visit www.pixelnetica.com.


Pricing and Availability:


SharpScan is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for Free in the Productivity category. Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 6.0 or later. App is optimized for iPhone 5.

WinTranslator and MacTranslator Capture Software Design from Source Code



Excel Software announced WinTranslator 4.0 now handles Visual Basic, Xojo, supports the latest Java and Android programming plus has new Delphi enhancements. MacTranslator 3.0 has enhancements for Objective-C in Xcode, Xojo, RealBasic, Java, Delphi and C++.  Both tools increase capacity and add progress indicators to process large projects with thousands of code files, folders and namespaces.

WinTranslator running on Windows scans source code to extract data.  That data is imported into the WinA&D modeling tool to automatically generate class diagrams, structure charts and data models.  The project dictionary is populated with design details like data types, method arguments, descriptive comments and links from model objects to associated source code.  Likewise, MacTranslator on Mac OS X extracts data for use in MacA&D.


WinTranslator and MacTranslator are highly scalable, fully automated tools that support dozens of programming languages and dialects.  Models and dictionary information can be generated from legacy source code, class frameworks, open source and example projects.  A single window provides a step-by-step process to quickly identify the code folders, language and options to document an unfamiliar project.


WinA&D and WinTranslator on Windows provide:


* UML Class Models from Visual Basic, Xojo, RealBasic, C++, C#, PHP, Java, Delphi or Ada
* Rich Data Models with Indexes, Triggers, Primary and Foreign Keys from SQL Schema
* Structure Charts from Procedural C, Pascal, Basic, PHP or Fortran


MacA&D and MacTranslator on Mac OS X provide:


* UML Class Models from Xojo, RealBasic, C++, Objective-C, PHP, Java or Delphi
* Rich Data Models with Indexes, Triggers, Primary and Foreign Keys from SQL Schema
* Structure Charts from Procedural C, Pascal, Basic, PHP or Fortran


Both OS environments support:


* Multi-Level Diagrams with Objects Linked to Associated Source Code for Browsing
* Data Types, Arguments, Namespaces and Comments Captured from Code
* Project Scalability to Millions of Code Lines Across Thousands of Files and Folders
* Automated Structure Chart Generation from Source Code for Each Thread of Execution
* Windows, Mac or Linux Line Endings Processing or Conversion


When a developer identifies the code folders, language and options, WinTranslator or MacTranslator generate a project file of commands, then process those commands to output a text file of data.  That data is imported into WinA&D or MacA&D to populate the data dictionary and generate a stack of diagrams that reflect the code structure.    WinA&D and MacA&D have options to control code organization into diagrams, presentations options or identification of execution threads for representation in diagrams.  Once desired options are selected, the process requires very little human effort.


WinTranslator 4.0 at $495 runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8.  MacTranslator 4.0 at $495 runs on Mac OS X 10.6 or later.  Both products include tutorials, help system plus printed and PDF User Guide.  The Excel Software website includes a free video library that demonstrates software design and code reengineering for popular programming languages and environments.
