This week's YouGov/Sunday Times tables are online here. Topline voting intention is CON 31%, LAB 44%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 8%. In line with the increased level of Lib Dem support Nick Clegg's approval figures are also up slightly – his net approval is minus 45, still extremely bad, but his least bad figures since March.
Most of the rest of the survey dealt with the subject of Europe, and like ComRes's poll last nights showed hints of a shift in public opinion towards remaining in the EU.
As usual a majority of people (59%) support the idea of a referendum on Europe – people will almost always say they support a referendum on anything we ask about. On how they would vote in a referendum on the EU membership, people would vote to leave by 42% to 36%. This is a significantly lower lead for leaving the EU than YouGov usually find, indeed, they ask it as a monthly tracker and only last week found a 15 point lead for leaving the EU. This could easily be a blip, but could also be a sign of the intervention of the US Embassy and Richard Branson's comments already having an effect.
Asked if there should be a straight referendum or the renegotiation then a referendum that David Cameron is likely to announce, people prefer the latter by 48% to 22%. Were David Cameron to renegotiate Britain's relationship with EU and then recommend people vote to stay in, in the way Wilson did in 1975 and Cameron is likely to say he'll do later this month, then people say they would vote to stay in by 50% to 25%. This too is a shift from the last time YouGov asked the question in July 2012, when people said they'd vote to stay in by 42% to 34%.
The contrast between how people would vote in a straight referendum now and how people would vote in a post-negotiation referendum with Cameron recommending a vote to stay in is mostly a switch of Conservative voters, who say they would vote 51%-33% to leave in a straight referendum now, but would vote 64%-21% to stay if Cameron recommended a yes vote on renegotiated terms.
Asked about the potential impacts of leaving the European Union, by 40% to 9% people think Britain would have less influence if we left the EU and think our relationship with the USA would be worse by 24% to 10%. They are far more divided on the potential economic impacts of Britain leaving the EU – 29% think the country would be better off outside the EU, 34% worse off. 27% think leaving the EU would be good for employment, 30% bad for employment. 18% think they personally would be better off, 20% worse off.

@ Phil Haines
I take your point but here's why I think Ed M has shown his hand: David Cameron has been kicking the EU can down the road since the middle of last year. Hence the 'tantric' thing. Ed Miliband has put David Cameron in a position where he must make the speech & he can't hedge his bets.
The anti-EU Tories now know that any referendum must be in this parliament because, if the Tories don't win the 2015 GE, there isn't going to be a referendum in the next parliament.
Ed M showing his hand has hugely turned up the pressure on David Cameron, IMO.
How likely is Labour to go along with today's pension proposals if elected in 2015?
I also do not recall seeing a statement from Labour indicating acceptance of bringing forward the later retirement age to 2020.I assume that they retain the option of reverting to Adair Turner's schedule.

Other political reform measures included introducing proposals for reform of the House of Lords by December 2010.
While technically as it didn't say the parties had to vote for it the Tories weren't in breach when they failed to comply .
However, the same applies to boundary changes as there is no obligation in the Coalition Agreement for the LD's to vote in Favour of a Tory generated proposal.
If by some quirk this did pass with SNP support IMO the appearance of Tory Gerrymandering would outweigh any potential seat gain in any case.
It would also be difficult to see the Coalition survivng such a move
Nick Robinson on Radio 4 says 4 criteria need to be met for a refererendum.
1)Tories need to win a majority
2)Tories need to persuade European powers that a treaty change is needed
3)Cameron needs to win back some powers during the negotiation
4)Cameron needs to feel he can win a referendum.
If all 4 criteria are met,then there`ll be a referendum in 2017-2018.We await Cameron`s speech to see if Nick R is right.
Reaction to the pension changes continues to mount, but I can't help feeling the focus has been on higher earners and current pensioners, rather than the group that I think will lose out the most, at least in terms of the proportion of income lost.
I've posted previously that anyone currently earning over the lower earning limit (£107 pw) will qualify for SP2 as if they earned around £14,400 a year. Effectively this means that each year worked, they get a guaranteed £1.50 pw SP2 on top of their basic pension entitlement. If they earn less than the secondary earnings threshold (currently around £625 per month) neither they, nor their employers will pay any NI contributions. These benefits were changed by Gordon brown in 2002 as a way to focus more help on the lowest paid. This only applies to those who are not contracted out, but the media focus so far has been on the higher NI bills faced by those currently contracted in.
I don't pretend to know how many people this affects, but if you work part time on low wages, but earn over the LEL of around £460 per month, and continue to do so over a period of 40 years, you would be expecting a total basic + SP2 pension in today's money of £167 pw or so. The £144 therefore represents a huge cut in entitlements for the very poorest.
Many others with higher earnings will also be affected, but as these will increasingly be expected to have private pension income as you go up the earnings scale, I would imagine that the greatest hardship will fall on those who have had a life time of modest and low earnings.
In general, I'm all for simplicity in pensions, but I fear that there are simply too many losers from this proposal, and the emphasis has been on cutting costs, rather than providing decent pensions to those in most need.
Given that the reductions are proportional so that scotland retains the same share of the Parliament as now I can't see how it reduces our influence.
As with Uk debt and assets I don't have a problem with our fair share which is what equal constituencies with allowance for remote and large scarcely populated constituencies gives us.
As I understand it Scotland getting 50 out of 600 is almost exactly in line with our share of the UK population.
Now if you were cutting to 600 by making scotland Independent that would be better, but I see no reason for the SNP not to vote for this.
We could certainly argue that we could find better uses for the money that paying nine MP's when the vast majority of their work is better covered by Holyrood anyway.
I thought the Government said they would honour SP2 entitlements already accrued?
Given IFS's verdict on pensions says practically everyone will be worse off is it a good thing ministers not doing Oral Statement (less ammo for Lab)? Or a bad thing (can't rebut it)?
What with EU referendum debacle when government can't even explain what would happen if it lost a vote on renegotiated terms and Angus Reid showing Conservatives down on 27% this much vaunted relaunch is beginning to look like it was organsied by John Major
Angus Reid:
"The Labour Party remains the first choice for voters in Britain as the governing Conservative Party has reached its lowest level since its electoral victory in 2010, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll has found.
In the online survey of a representative sample of 2,015 British adults, 42 per cent of decided voters and leaners (unchanged since late November) would support the Labour candidate in their constituency if a General Election took place tomorrow.
The Tories are a distant second with 27 per cent (-1), followed by the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) with 11 per cent (=) and the Liberal Democrats with 10 per cent (=).
Support is lower for the Scottish National Party (SNP) (3% nationally, 36% in Scotland), the Green Party (also 3%), the British National Party (BNP) (1%) and Plaid Cymru (also 1%).
This month, Labour posted particularly good numbers in the North (51%) and London (50%). The opposition party is also the first choice for voters in Midlands and Wales (46%). The Conservatives are still ahead in the South of England (34%), while Labour and the SNP are tied in Scotland (36% each).
More than half of respondents (57%) disapprove of the performance of Prime Minister David Cameron, while 32 per cent approve (-4). Only one-in-five Britons (20%, -2) approve of the way Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is handling his duties, while 30 per cent (-1) are content with Labour leader Ed Miliband"
@ Alec
IFS saying almost everybody will be worse off under the flat-rate pension, except some self-employed people.
And I think that the self-employed will likely have their NI contributions increased in future, to reflect the fact that they'll be entitled to a better state pension.
It's also not clear what will happen to people who do not have 35 years contributions. Presumably they will be able to claim some sort of social security.
As far as I can tell, contracted out credits (public servants) might not count towards the flat rate, but they did count towards the basic pension. This is the same as self employed (?)
So if the self employed get an NI rise and the full flat rate, I assume that public servants will…unless there are different and conflicting rules. Or means testing!
My guess is that public servants will get the flat rate and so will the self employed, but both groups might have increased NI contributions in 2017.
Link to Angus Reid is here (AW's doesn't work)
"Public sector workers who have opted out of the state pension will be allowed to accrue more credits from 2017 until they retire and will be paid more than the basic £107 a week in line with those extra payments until they save enough to qualify for the £144 weekly rate."
But the self employed, unemployed, lower paid and carers will get the full flat rate based upon the lower credit?
I think I had 18 years credits before I joined the Civil Service and could work for 7 years between 2017 and age 66. So I will get the old basic (£107) and a top up of 25/35th of the difference between the flat rate and the old basic rate?
Good thing it is all much simpler now!
Good Evening All, from cold Bournemouth.
Thank you Nick P and Phil HAINES.
One year ahead of one of my five brothers you were, Nick.
Labour's lead seems solid. Lib Dem figure is high, I think, as AMBER said yesterday; about the 7% figure.
The Con figure suggests the Government is not the toast of the man in the pub at present.
The figure for Wales seems low for Labour.
On simplification.
It reminds me of GB's 'simplification' of doing away with the 10% tax rate. I am still puzzling over the logic behind that one. I came to the conclusion (pro tem), that it was advised by a particularly malevolent civil servant, when he saw that GB had other more important things (like stuffing Blairites) on his mind.
Maybe I can continue teaching until 2021 when I will be 66, and also have state pension, as well as my contributory teacher's pension.
Fwiw, the Wikipedia polling page has been updated… there was by the look of it much discussion before going ahead with the changes, but… they have now moved UKIP from "Others" to a column of their own. The change is retrospective to the begining of 2012, and a "third party lead" column has been included in the tables:
Very many thanks.
"Labour's lead seems solid"
At 11.1 av. for the past 8 polls in 10 days from 1-2 Jan; unwaverfing, e.g. any response to dc and NC mid-term statement, and consistent with all other polls.
Vote on delaying parliamentary boundary change WON by 69 votes. This now goes to Commons and LDs have said they will back it too. Bad news for the Tories.
Atleast AW might have got the clarity he craved.
@NickP – "I thought the Government said they would honour SP2 entitlements already accrued?"
They have, but I'm talking about future accruals after 2017. As is the IFS – in effect, the longer it is until your retirement date, the more you stand to lose, as the greater SP2 entitlement you could potentially have built up after.
Taking my own example as a modest earner, relatively recently contracted back in, by 2017 I will have 35 qualifying years so will get the £144, plus I will have around £18 SP2, giving me about £162 pw if the assumptions are correct.
Under the existing scheme, I would get the £107 basic, plus the chance to accrue around £48 total SP2, giving me a total of £155. So I will be better off, but were I 10 years younger, my potential SP2 could be £16 higher, meaning I start to lose.
Having said that, I am assuming that I continue working up to retirement age for these calculations, whereas under the new scheme I could stop in 2017 without harming my pension.
The bottom line is that a new entrant to the labour market in 2017 will find that the maximum state pension they could qualify for is £144 in today's money. Currently, the maximum SP2 possible is £159, which means a more than 50% cut in total potential pension for future workers. Even low paid workers could easily get £90 SP2 in total, without even paying any NI, so they will feel this too.
This is why the new scheme gets cheaper as time goes by.
Smukesh – not quite, it's still not quite dead (obviously it's almost certainly dead so I'm working on the assumption that it will die, but I've been doing that for months!)
The thing that pezzles me that I had enough credits already (34) to get the basic state pension but because 16 of these were contracted out and the qualifying number is 35, I don't qualify for the flat rate higher version.
So does that mean I no longer qualify for the old amount and will in fact only have 18/35th of the new total? Or 18/35th of the difference between old and new?
I suspect a stitch up, and the system is no simpler and looks like deliberate smoke and mirrors.
Does it go back to the commons?What happens if it wins in the commons?Seems unlikely as I think SNP are now opposed to it?
You're welcome.
'"Public sector workers who have opted out of the state pension will be allowed to accrue more credits from 2017 until they retire and will be paid more than the basic £107 a week in line with those extra payments until they save enough to qualify for the £144 weekly rate."
Does it follow that a civil servant or teacher, who has spent his entire career in a contracted out final salary scheme, will not receive the higher figure of £144.? I have in mind people intending to cease work at 60 in 2014 in expectation of receiving the State Pension at 66 in 2020.
Sorry – that should have been ' @ Alec'
I suspect that they get SOMETHING. But it ain't clear what.
Common sense says they will get at least the basic (now defunct) Old Age Pension. But it appears they won't get the flat rate. If they have been contracted out all their working lives then they will either get
-nothing; or
-a reduced flat rate equivalent to the old pension.
Be nice to know!
I may have misunderstood this, but the contracting in/out only affects the SP2. Entitlement to the basic state pension is independent of this, I had thought.
My understanding is that anyone who has worked and paid NI for 35 years will get the basic £144. The bit in doubt is the SP2, although I have to admit I haven't explored the public sector side of things.
Graun reporting on the Lords voting Yes to delaying the reduction in seats:
"Cameron will make a final desperate effort in the Commons before the end of the month to reverse the Lords decision, but has only a fragile hope that he can offer something to nationalist MPs in order to win their support, which is needed to defeat the Liberal Democrat/Labour majority. If Cameron fails to win over the Democratic Unionists or Scottish Nationalists, he will be defeated in the Commons…"
No – I'm wrong – the flate rate pension is reduced for contracted out current workers.
That's a bit weird, as contracting in/out should be for the SP2 bit.
new thread.
It's SP2 that the defined benefit scheme opted out of.
"Public sector workers who have opted out of the state pension will be allowed to accrue more credits from 2017 until they retire and will be paid more than the basic £107 a week in line with those extra payments until they save enough to qualify for the £144 weekly rate."
Can anyone explain why Ed Miliband has a commanding poll lead over the Conservatives when both he and the Labour Party are even more untrusted on the economy than the Tories.
For someone who just says what the disgruntled public want to hear and jumps on every bandwagon that comes by without any coming up with any policies himself, do Labour really deserve to win the next general election???
No one deserves to win the next election!!
@mrcjbeaven – I refer the honourable gentleman to the comments policy discussed previously.

Professional Dog Trainer & Instructor
The shout—almost a scream—would flash through the blackness of the night like a lightning bolt, sending a charge as powerful as a jolt of electricity through the armed men on combat patrol. The shout came from the dog handler, who would have just released his canine from restraint, and the big dog would race in and out among the squad of men like the Angel of Death looking for a place to land.
Jason Young and the other men in his unit, alerted by the shout, would freeze instantly in their tracks, forcing themselves to remain motionless while the dog raced among them, hunting for a target. Within moments, the dog—as it was trained to do—would nail anyone still moving, and bring him to the ground. Hopefully, this would be an Iraqi insurgent who, the Americans were betting, would be the only man on the scene who didn't know to freeze when he heard the scream.
This was Jason's introduction to highly trained canines and some of their uses in combat. It came in the Middle East, where Jason served multiple tours in Iraq as a Green Beret, and in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the region, where he also served. Jason and the other men grew to love these dogs for the valuable contributions they made to the rest of the team and to the security of the people on it.
"On missions, we'd almost always have sniffer dogs (for bomb detection) or protection dogs," Jason said. "They were incorporated in our missions. I worked with them every night of the week for seven years."
Jason took his honorable discharge from the Army and the Green Berets as a senior noncommissioned officer in 2006, after 10 years of service, and moved to Camano Island to operate Camano Island Kennels with his wife, Dianna. Together they train not only canines, but people as well, honing them into smooth-running dog-and-master teams that function nearly flawlessly together. Few dogs that pass through Camano Island Kennels these days receive training in the kind of aggressive endeavors at which the military dogs excelled, although some do take training in police-service work and personal-protection work. Most of the canine students, however, come here for basic or advanced obedience training; to learn—along with their owners—how they can become enjoyable and dependable members of the family "pack."
Jason's military background prepared him well for his role as an instructor in civilian life, as Jason—who speaks Arabic—served as senior adviser and trainer to the Iraqi 36th Commando Battalion during combat operations. He also advised and commanded an 80-man Iraqi counter-terrorism force, and served in other military-instructor capacities while training and advising both foreign and American forces. He also applied his extensive tactical knowledge to his own performance, on the ground. The Army awarded him two Bronze Star Medals, one for his service in combat in Iraq, the other for his service in combat in Afghanistan.
Since his discharge from the Army, Jason has taught close-quarters combat tactics for Washington state law-enforcement agencies, and has provided dog training for such agencies.
This background has polished his skills as a dog training instructor, and students in his private and group canine classes on obedience or behavior modification find that the direction they get from him is clear, correct and to-the-point.
Jason is a certified official evaluator in the AKC (American Kennel Club) Canine Good Citizen Program, in which he is authorized to test dogs and qualify for certificates those that meet the AKC's high ten-part standards of good manners at home and in the community. In addition to providing classes, Jason also advises animal-shelter staff members and veterinary-clinic staff members on behavior-modification techniques and on methods of interpreting canine body-language. The training is aimed at improving relations between patients and staff for the benefit of both.
"It might surprise you, but some veterinarians aren't very well versed in canine behavior," Jason said. "For example, sometimes when a new patient comes into a clinic, the veterinarian might try to lead it into an examination room and the dog will refuse to cooperate. That's often because when the veterinarian met the dog, he or she 'oogled' it."
"Yes, that's where the vet gets all effusive and talks baby-talk, and tells the dog, 'Oh, what a sweet, sweet, doggy you are!' The dog sees this as submissive behavior, and he thinks he's in charge and is going to give orders to the veterinarian. If the vet just came out in a business-like way and snapped on a leash and led the dog to the back, there wouldn't be a problem."

John Goodman has joined three-time Oscar nominee Stephen Daldry's (The Reader) adaptation of the Jonathan Safran Foer novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Already featuring serious star power in the form of Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, the film will follow Oskar (played by newcomer Thomas Horn), a 10-year old boy whose father (Hanks) dies in the September 11th attacks. As the story goes, Oskar embarks on a journey to deal with his loss and discover more about the lock-box key left behind by his father. The lauded script was penned by Oscar-winning scribe Eric Roth (Forrest Gump).
Per THR, Goodman will play a doorman in Oskar's apartment building who "goes on a trip to exhume the father's coffin." In addition to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, he recently appeared in HBO's Treme and can also be seen this March in Kevin Smith's Red State. To check out a synopsis of Foer's novel, hit the jump.
Here the synopsis for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close [via Amazon]:
Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history.
Nine-year-old Oskar Schell has embarked on an urgent, secret mission that will take him through the five boroughs of New York. His goal is to find the lock that matches a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11. This seemingly impossible task will bring Oskar into contact with survivors of all sorts on an exhilarating, affecting, often hilarious, and ultimately healing journey.

How to Lay Modular Carpet Tiles
Modular carpet tiles are large carpet squares that are vinyl-backed. These squares are designed to be attached to a clean, dry, hard-surface floor to create an area rug of the size and shape you need for your house. This is an obvious choice for homeowners with small children who may stain a traditional area rug. The rug squares are stain-resistant and durable. If you do stain one, however, you can simply lift the square and replace it while the rest of the rug remains intact. You can also rearrange your rug as your tastes or needs change.
Clean the hard surface floor thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner so that the area where the rug will be installed is clean and smooth.
Lay out your carpet tiles on the floor so that they are straight and in the exact location you want. Try changing your pattern or direction to explore your design choices.
Pick up a center tile and turn it upside down. Some tiles come with adhesive back patches covered with paper. Simply remove the paper backing and turn your tile over and press it into place. Other tiles require you to apply a quarter-sized blob of releasable carpet tile adhesive 1 inch from each corner and in the center on the back of the tile.
Apply each adjacent tile keeping the seams tightly butted and even. Press the carpet with a hard roller after a few minutes. Continue attaching tiles until you are finished following this same technique.
Things Needed
- Vacuum cleaner
- Carpet squares
- Releasable carpet adhesive
- Hard roller
- Purchase extra pieces of carpet so you can replace soiled carpets. You can cut tiles with heavy-duty shears. Curve the carpet so you can see the vinyl backing through the carpet. Cut the backing first and only cut the carpet where it is connected.

Supplements, Good Or Bad?
Supplements, Good Or Bad? | BayanMall
Supplements or to be precise dietary supplements are vitamins, minerals, herbs, and many other products. They sell in forms of tablets, capsules, soft gels, and gel caps. They are taken to defend our health from the effects of ageing. It also provides protection from other well known diseases. But the question still remains, is it good or bad?
For me, it depends. Yet, I will give you some precaution before buying and taking any of it. First, always talk with your doctor. It is imperative to ask your doctor about taking a supplement, especially if you're pregnant or nursing a baby. Not only that, consider also if you are about to have surgery or you have a health condition because some supplements have side effects.
Eat a variety of foods. Dietary supplements are not intended to be a food substitute. They cannot replace all of the nutrients and benefits of whole foods. In addition, there are vitamins and minerals that are not found in a vitamin or mineral supplements. Sometimes, man made vitamins are not recognized by the body. They usually pass in urine or stored in fat. Unlike the supplements, natural vitamins from food are used by our body.
Use your judgment wisely. The producers of supplements are not required to test their products for safety and effectiveness. They don't get through the government like Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because they treat them as food and not medically. This means they can just distribute it directly to the market. Somehow, the ingredients are reviewed for safety purposes, but not being approved for its effectiveness.
Do not take a bigger dose than the label recommends. Taking too much of some supplements can lead to harmful consequences and worst, life-threatening. If the food you are eating doesn't include essential nutrients, then supplements can help. But of course, the key is eating a healthy food. Above all, Do not just rely only on supplements.

Lenovo: Evaluating The End-to-End Customer Journey – UX case study
As any organization that cares about customer experience, Lenovo wanted to improve every touchpoint of their customer journey, from pre-sales activities of finding the right product to post-sales activities of getting information on returns and post-order support.
Additionally, getting insights on their customer journey across multiple devices such as desktop, smartphone and tablet, was extremely important to them.
"The challenge that we had was tying some of the post-purchase online activities to the offline activities. That's where surveys became very important for us to get feedback from customers or even customers of competitors to learn about the end-to-end journey and not just about media buys and conversion," says Elijah Degen, WW Customer Experience at Lenovo.
To tackle this problem, Lenovo turned to UserZoom's UX research team and utilized UserZoom's versatile research platform to conduct a variety of usability tests and voice of the customer studies on desktop, smartphone and tablet devices in both US and UK.
"UserZoom is the only tool that can test all three screens and it has a great deal of capabilities. It is the most robust tool out there." -Elijah Degen, WW Customer Experience, Lenovo
UserZoom's approach included:
- Working with Lenovo's stakeholders to determine where all the touch points in customer's journey were
- Developing representative tasks for each of the touch points and coming up with a strategy to validate each task
- Conducting findability and voice of the customer studies on Lenovo's site as well as four direct competitor sites and two other premier web retailers to see where Lenovo stands against their competition
- Reporting the findings of the studies that included highlights, lowlights and metrics such as completion rate, user confidence, perceived speed and responsiveness, overall task satisfaction and ease of use
To evaluate the full end-to-end customer journey, UserZoom tested how Lenovo and competitors performed at each stage of the buying process and beyond. Some of the touch points evaluated by UserZoom included:
"It was an incredibly ambitious project to look at the complete end-to-end support experience across countries and devices," says Nate Colker, User Experience Researcher at UserZoom. "By leveraging previous research and the domain knowledge of the Lenovo team we were able to hone our focus on the areas of the support that were most frequented by Lenovo customers and those that had the biggest impact on the overall customer experience," he adds.
With a big bulk of its traffic coming from mobile devices, Lenovo deeply valued the ability to conduct research across platforms.
"UserZoom is the only tool that allowed us to look at our website for all three screen sizes in one tool," says Elijah. "As such, smartphone, tablet and desktop users were all getting the same survey and it was all collected in the same tool," he continues. "That was invaluable to us because everyone was answering the same questions, it was much easier to do analysis and correlations. It was really wonderful."
With UserZoom, Lenovo was able to get a holistic view of their customer journey from researching a product to post purchase support. They gained a deep understanding of how they performed at each of the touch points in their customers' journey and how that performance compares to their competition.
By utilizing the video data and open data, UserZoom was able to uncover not only what happened during the journey but also why.
"Some of the biggest things that we learned is the very detailed difference in behavior across countries. Everyone knows a user in one country has a very different behavior than in another country," says Elijah. "This study allowed us to determine which specific touch points are an opportunity for delighting the customer; country by country," he continues. "UserZoom's findings also really helped us with the hierarchy of content across the three screens of smartphone, tablet and desktop. We were able to learn a lot about what content is important in what country."
"Also when it comes to solving some of the problems we have with our shopping, it was invaluable in learning what was wrong rather than just doing a bunch of A/B tests," says Elijah. "We were able to really determine what was wrong prior to the A/B test. So it really informed our testing strategy and saved us a lot of time, effort and money on all of the other testing tools that are out there," adds Elijah.

Want to save money on sound effects? Here's what's on sale right now
Order for $500 dollars or more & get a free copy of Krypton included!
You get (at least) 8+ GB free SFX with ANY order right now
Spectacular sci-fi sound effects, from robot sounds, spacecraft and lasers to other futuristic sounds
Gizmo is a mechanism library for designing mechanical actions in machinery without the engines. This library covers the gambit of steam, ronks, clicks, clanks, clunks, servos and all sorts of mechanical actions from various props.
Unlike most libraries, this one was recorded at 192 with a stereo pair of Sanken CO100k microphones for extreme lossless pitching, so you can take something small like a typewriter, and make it sound like a massive printing machine.
Glass and Metal Clouds are the result of experimenting with the tonal and noise elements of a glass or metal impact via granular processing. Various household objects were struck and recorded, ranging from metal shovels, desk legs and brass ornaments to glass and crystal objects – basically anything that would ring after it was struck.
The recordings were then sent through 'Clouds' and processed with gentle, chaotic modulation by a combination of sloth chaos modules and standard cyclic modulation resulting in drones that gently sweep between musical tonal sounds and the random noise produced by the strike and are ever evolving; some more than others.
Sometimes some surprising sounds came out of the drones and I let them run, some were kept quite constant with only a subtle amount of modulation so there is a lot of variation in the pack.
The sounds came from my need as a sound designer to embed strange mood, emotion and feeling of uncertainty into everyday ambience.
The Boom, Crackle and Scream library is the first in a planned series of Glitch Factory mini libraries. This library uses sounds recorded of Fireworks ranging from large booms to small sparklers and mangles them into interesting textures in varying degrees.
The sounds have been manipulated using analog synthesizers, custom Reaktor instruments and other types of granular processing. They will work well for Sci-Fi weapon layers, user interface sounds and more.
In this library, you will find electronic sounds that can be used on a variety of applications such as Sci-Fi projects, computer glitches, faulty equipment, robots and much more.
All of the files were designed from scratch – no pre-existing sounds were used – and they are sourced from actual computer errors, generating original sounds.
Included, you will find a folder called "TELEVISION_&_RADIO". The files in that folder have an EQ applied to them to simulate the effect of the sounds coming out of those pieces of equipment. This will save you time – you don't have to worry about processing them and can drag & drop them into your projects.
The Glitch UI SFX library delivers a collection of user interface sounds created from mangled video files, circuit bent keyboards and dying hard drives.
Pops, clicks, glitches and transitions, all sourced from our Error Tone library but re-edited and processed specifically for sound designers with extensive Soundminer metadata.
Contains sounds which will work for all your user interface feedback needs, from retro computer interfaces to modern tablets to futuristic sci-fi UIs.
This is Part 01 of the "GlitchFX Percussion Sounds 01" Sample collection It contains over hundreds of dirty, glitchy percussive sounds to spice up your tracks.
Noisy hats, dirty percussion sounds, devestated kicks and mutilated snare drums. Everything far from clean.
Fits perfectly for electronic music like GlitchHop, EDM, Trap, Dubstep, HipHop and many others. And of course for any kind of sound design.
This is Part 01 of the "GlitchFX Percussion Sounds 02" Sample collection: It contains over hundreds of dirty, glitchy percussive sounds to spice up your tracks.
Noisy hats, dirty percussion sounds, devestated kicks and mutilated snare drums. Everything far from clean.
Fits perfectly for electronic music like GlitchHop, EDM, Trap, Dubstep, HipHop and many others. And of course for any kind of sound design.
GLITCHY CIRCUITS is a collection of 220 glitch sound effects.
Glitchy risers, distorted circuit impacts, mangled & overdriven stutters, sparkly tiny one-shots and more.

All source sounds have been heavily processed with guitar pedals, plugins, recorded through old tape decks
and small speakers.
Perfect for sound designer, gamedevs and music producers.
All SFX have baked-in Soundminer's meta data
RECORDED WITH: JrF C series, JrF Coil Pickup, Sound Devices MixPre-6, Apogee Duet
EDITED AND MASTERED WITH: Pro Tools, Ableton Live, iZotope RX, iZotope Trash 2, Guitar Pedals,
Old Tape decks, Guitars, Synthesizers, FabFilter, ReFuse, Reaktor, Modular.
Granular Textures is a collection of Foley sounds, instrumentals and lo-fi recordings which were fed into granular processors to deliver a set of unique and versatile atmospheres which bear little resemblance to their original source. Instruments such as guitar, piano, kalimba and zither have been exploited, dissected, stretched, resampled and mangled beyond all recognition and served up as inspiring grainscapes which will find their home in a variety of productions.
Whether your project calls for gritty, industrial and dystopian soundscapes, surreal, science fiction elements, twisted signals and transmissions, horror soundbeds, deep drones or experimental noise pieces, Granular Textures is a versatile collection which will serve as a great sonic asset, whatever field of multimedia you work in.
Harsh Noise is a collection of analog feedback loop manipulations where traditional audio equipment is pushed to extremes and sent spiralling out of control.
Featuring glitched-out signal malfunctions, huge walls of noise and piercing high-frequency tones, these sounds will really set the mood for any abstract scenes, unsettling moments or technological nightmare situations in your productions, particularly if working to a horror, science fiction, dystopian or experimental theme.
With each file coming in at 1 minute in length and recorded at a high resolution of 24/96, you are invited to go beyond the source material and explore your own sonic territory by way of editing, filtering and processing to suit your needs.
An incredible assortment of organic, elemental and abstract source files at delivered in .WAV 192k 24Bit. The beauty of this library besides the stunning recorded quality is that it was recored with top gear like Apogee Symphony and Sennheiser MKH 416 in a professional sound studio. This is a go to pack to grab for those wanting the cleanest audio files to manipulate.

High Frequency Feedback Loops is a 57 sound collection of harsh, piercing analogue noise sourced from a No-Input Mixer being pushed to its limits. With constant ringing tones, random oscillations and lots of signal screaming in the higher frequency range, this library is a useful addition for your audio toolkit.
Think situations where a character's hearing is impaired, for constructing glitching communications and old school computers loading or to heighten the tension in horror and science fiction scenes. Whatever the requirement, if your next project calls for some seriously intense high-register noise, this one's got you covered.
Looking for futuristic interface sounds? The High Tech Interface Sounds library is a targeted solution for just that. It features 280 sound effects in categories like Beeps, Buttons, Clicks, Data Processing, Micro High Tech and more – created by Sergey Eybog, who recently won an award for his user interface sound design.
All the essential high voltage electricity sounds you'll need for your sound library.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.

Guinean army forces have massacred over 150 unarmed people who were protesting on Monday against the country's unelected leader. The head of the military Moussa Dadis Camara leads the Western African country. He seized power in a coup following the death of longtime dictator Lansana Conté in December. Protests broke out in the capital Conakry after it seemed likely that Camara would stand as a candidate in a presidential election postponed to January. Opponents are demanding he honour a longstanding pledge to stand aside and transition Guinea to civilian rule (photo of arrest in Conakry by AFP via Al Jazeera).
Though Camara has not formally declared his candidacy, his supporters have been actively promoting his chances. They were allowed a peaceful rally on Saturday in the city of Labe. But when the opposition tried to launch their rally on Monday, all hell broke loose. Political and civil society leaders had called the rally at Conakry's main football stadium two weeks ago but authorities banned the meeting.
Despite the ban, thousands assembled at the 25,000 seater stadium pushing past military to gain entrance to the ground. They carried placards reading "No to Dadis" and "Down with the army in power" before police eventually stopped the crowds from gaining entry. Suddenly soldiers drove into the stadium. They descended from their vehicles and shot first into the air. Then they began to open fire on demonstrators and beat them up.
By the middle of the afternoon Donka Hospital in Conakry had admitted hundreds of people with bullet wounds and injuries from beatings. A number of women taking part in the demonstration were stripped naked and sexually assaulted by security forces who also went on a looting rampage across town. The usual suspects such as the UN, the EU, the AU and the US all expressed their condemnation of the massacre but none are likely to act against what is usually deemed "a domestic matter". Of more interest is the attitude of the the international mining companies who stand to make large amounts of money in the country.
Guinea has the world's largest concentration of bauxite (aluminium ore) with 30 percent of the world's reserves. US Giant Alcoa in partnership with Canadian Alcan have exclusive rights to mine bauxite in Guinea's Sangaredi Plateau. Together they run Cie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG) the world's largest bauxite mine. Bauxite is used in cement, chemicals, face makeup, soda cans, dishwashers, siding for houses, and other aluminum products and is highly profitable industry for the two multi-nationals.
But Guinea's relationship with the Russian giant UC RUSAL is not so healthy. Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska's company are in a row with a Guinean court which has taken ownership of a mine away from them. The court cancelled the sale in 2006 of the Friguia refinery which UC RUSAL had bought for $20 million, far below independent valuations of $250 million. Russia is claiming the refinery is now their legitimate property.
Rio Tinto is also in trouble with Guinea. It is still challenging a decision the government made last year to take away control of an important iron ore project. Government told Rio its licence to mine has been rescinded. The mine at Simandou is one of the world's largest undeveloped iron ore deposits, with the potential to generate more than $10 billion a year. The mine is crucial to Rio to ward off takeover threats from BHP Billiton and analysts say Guinea's move is an attempt to get a better bargaining position at a vulnerable time for the buyer.
But the latest protests have made Guinea vulnerable too. Camara is playing for high stakes. Though the country remains an economic basket case, he and his cronies can earn millions in company kickbacks. But he needs the big companies to stay. If he cannot control the streets they will take their mining dollars elsewhere. For Guinea's millions of desperately poor neither outcome will help them much.

We are now to the point with our Project Work that we are ready for our expert to come in. We were able to get a local TV personality to come to visit our classroom on Friday. James Zhara, a meteorologist on our local channel eight, will join our classroom. The children are counting down the days on the calendar and at home!
As we prepared for his visit, we revisited our questions that we had started to create at the beginning of the project. We then added to those if we needed too. The children have also created pictures on paper so they can share with him as well when he joins us. We plan on taping and photographing his visit so we will post as soon as we can. We plan to add to this list until James' arrival.
Some of our questions include:
- Have you seen a real tornado?
- Have you seen a blizzard?
- Are their clouds at night?
- Do cumulus clouds bring rain?
- What is a radar?
- How many radars do you have?
- How do you know all that you know?
- How many meteorologists are there?
- How are puddles made?
- How are lightning bolts made?

The Financial Times has a piece on Chinese collector Yan Lugen, documenting his ongoing support of Chinese contemporary art, including funds for the country's pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year, and his occasionally controversial position among the country's arts communities. "He's very charming, engaging — but frankly, he doesn't really seem to know what he's doing," the article quotes from one Hong Kong adviser.

Dear Robert—
I've just had your letter of the 7th. I know nothing about Dr. I. Révész.Emery Reves (Imre Révész in Hungarian) (1904–1981), a writer, publisher, literary agent, collector, and advocate of world peace. See letter of June 7, 1934. PijornJosep (José) Pijoán i Soteras (1881–1963), a Spanish architect, historian, art critic, essayist, and poet in the Catalan language. He published Arte cristiano primitivo: Arte bizantino hasta el saqueo de Constantinopla por los cruzados el año 1204 (Mardid: Espalsa-Calpe, 1935). Royall Tyler's reference to Pijoán suggests that Robert Woods Bliss's letter of June 7, 1934, had a handwritten addendum that inquired about Pijoán and his request for photographs. I used to know well, years ago in Barcelona, of which place he is a native. He has done some valuable work in the somewhat stony field of Catalan primitive painting. I think he might be allowed to have photos. of your objects.
I hope so much to see you in N.Y. next week.
Hayford & I today (hush, hush) had one of the Botkin enamelsMikhail Petrovich Botkin (1839–1914), a Russian collector. See Rosalind Polly Gray, "Muscovite Patrons of European Painting: The Collections of Vasily Kokorev, Dmitry Botkin, and Sergei Tretyakov," Journal of the History of Collections 10, no. 2 (January 1998), 191–92; Mikhail P. Botkin, Collection M. P. Botkine (Saint Petersburg: Tovarishchestvo R. Golike i A. Vil'borg, 1911); and "The Botkin Collection and the Naïvete of the Educated Consumer," Before the Blisses: Nineteenth-Century Connoisseurship of the Byzantine Minor Arts, Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, accessed September 8, 2015. His collection included a large number of Byzantine enamels, many of which were forged. The Boston enamel referred to by Royall Tyler is probably a Russian imitation of a Byzantine medallion of Saint Nicholas, ca. late nineteenth century–1911, gold cloisonné enamel, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, no. 28.243. See Hanns Swarzenski and Nancy Netzer, Medieval Objects in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: Enamels and Glass (Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, 1986), 148–49, no. A1 (technical note by Pamela England). withdrawn from the show case of the Museum here, after getting the people to look at in under the quartz lamp.Royall Tyler believed that fake Byzantine enamels fluoresced when illuminated by a quartz lamp. It's a brother to those of which Valentian [sic]Wilhelm (William) Rheinhold Otto Valentiner (1880–1958), a German art historian who became the director of the Detroit Institute of Art in 1924. bought 4 or 5 for Detroit,Among these were gold cloisonné enamels of the Transfiguration and Baptism, Detroit Institute of Arts, acc. nos. 28.57 and 39.647, the latter loaned to the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1928 by Robert H. Tannihill until 1939, when the museum acquired it. See Ella S. Siple, "Byzantine Enamels in Detroit, Worcester, and Boston," The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs 53, no. 307 (October 1928): 197–99. These and other twelfth-century Byzantine cloisonné enamels were forgeries of the late nineteenth–early twentieth century that were formerly part of the collection of Mikhail Petrovich Botkin (1839–1913). See A. C. W., "Byzantine Enamels," Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts 9, no. 8 (May 1928): 90–93. & Mrs. O.

The big Egyptian sculpture & the Greek things here are superb. The medieval quite negligeable.
I enjoyed my visit to you enormously.
Sachs is away, unfortunately. I saw the Fogg today. Disappointed with their sculpture.

Regular followers of this site will no doubt remember several articles I posted recently regarding my first overseas trip in 1988. During the research for those articles I discovered a number of images that would otherwise have remained unpublished. I've decided to bring those images back to life and share the results through this blog.
The above image was made at Ronbulk Gompa (monastery) in sight of Chomolungma (Mt. Everest). My travelling friends and l made a quick visit to the Gompa, prior to taking the short drive on to Base Camp, where we camped overnight.
During processing I employed a bit of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop hocus pocus to add extra depth and sharpness to the image that, together with most of the photos made during the trip, had been adversely affected by a camera fault resulting in significant overexposure. I also applied a sepia-like tone to add a sense of old world nostalgia to the final image.

This guide is provided to help you use the subtitles functionality within ALLPlayer. The availability of subtitles for any individual movie file depends on the user community creating and submitting them, so help out if you can, and don't be too upset if they are not available for the version of the video you have. For more information about the specifics of subtitle creation and submission, check out OpenSubtitles.org.
(I will be using the "Standard" skin for this guide, but you should find most or all of the icons I use on other skins also.)
Loading a subtitle file interactively for the current movie
Click on the "TXT" icon or the folder icon with "TXT" above it.
If the .srt (subtitles) file for the movie came with it and is in the same directory, you should see it listed at the top of the dropdown menu. Select it and your subtitles should appear on screen.
If you have the .srt (subtitles) file already on your hard drive, but in another directory, click "Search subtitles in the local drives..." and locate the .srt file for your video. Select it and you should see your subtitles on the screen.
If you do not have an .srt, you need to try to locate one on the Internet. If you are Polish, you should try the NAPIPROJEKT options first. Otherwise go to the OpenSubtitles.org submenu and choose "Search for matching subtitles". It will show the search progress and let you know if it found the subtitles or not. If not, you can try again after a minute; sometimes the servers are busy. When it is complete, the OpenSubtitles.org sub-menu will now have a full list of the different subtitles files available for your movie. Next, choose a subtitles file that matches the language you wish to use. If the file is not in .srt format, you may get the "Wrong Subs Format" message and will need to try a different subtitle entry. At some point, you will hopefully get the message stating that the subtitles have been downloaded. It will have been downloaded to the same directory your movie file is located in. Now, click the subtitles icon one last time and choose the .srt file that was downloaded from the top of the menu. You should now be able to see your subtitles.
(The subs item on the interface should light up while subtitles are active)
Configuring ALLPlayer to use subtitles automatically.
- Open the "ALLPlayer Toolbar" window by clicking on the tools icon in the black portion of the standard interface. It is located on the right side between the X icon and the enlarge/reduce icon and looks like a hammer and wrench crossed over each other.
- Choose the "Subtitles" Menu item and the "Subtitles Servers" sub-menu option to open the OpenSubtitles.org (or NAPIPROJEKT) configuration screen.
- Select your default language from the drop down box.
- Place a check by "In case of missing subs, download the list of subtitles from OpenSubtitles.org" to have ALLPlayer automatically check for subtitle files.
- Place a check by "Automatically Get the subs and display them in the movie" if you would like ALLPlayer to choose a subtitles file that matches your language and display it whenever you open a new movie.
- If you are registered with OpenSubtitles.org, you may place your login information here. I am not sure what benefit this gives, but it may be required for uploading your own subtitles files.

My story is of course, fiction, but what of the real Cleopatra and her scheming, ruthless family, the Ptolemies? They lived a horror story of their own making.

You have over 7,000 nerve endings in each of your feet. We have been putting them to good use with a real tingle, thanks to Kew Garden's barefoot walk.

Barefoot at Kew Gardens
Just One Crab, Please
Crabbing is a favourite activity in our household. It ranks above going to the beach and even better than a trip fossil hunting. We have crabbed on the River Dart in Devon, on the Dorset coast and in Emsworth, West Sussex. It's a lovely coastal activity, combining the outdoors, wildlife and anticipation as to […]
Making Tree Faces for the Garden
We have always been fans of tree faces in our household. We loved the one in the photo above. This was brought as a kit and delighted my son when he was very little. I have always thought it really effective. However it had never occurred to me that you could make your own. That […]
Children's Playgrounds and Outdoor Gyms
What happens? When our children are small toddlers, pre-school and perhaps up to the age of 5/6 we spend hours with them in the local playgrounds. They are regular venues, with picnics on summer days and winter visits when the weather is dry. Once they start school and weekday time is pre-allocated the family […]
Autumn Leaf Hopscotch
The autumn leaves in the south of the UK have been wonderful this year. I have been seeing fantastic artwork, collages and patterns made from leaves. This weekend a brief chat with my 7 year old about what use we could put some of the many leaves in our garden led to a eureka moment. […]
When is a Bird Scarer not a Scarecrow
The iconic bird scarer for children to make is, of course, the scarecrow. It's quite a complicated project to try and many are a tad too large for small suburban gardens. Having already tried hanging CDs over our plot we appreciate that scarers do perform an important role. So we were delighted to take this […]
How Green is My Garden?
The foliage in my garden has now all appeared and as usual various shades and hues of green predominate. So we have been playing the matching the shades game. I first saw this played in an outdoor centre in West Yorkshire with some teenagers, but I didn't see why it wouldn't work with younger children. […]
10 Reasons to get out into the Garden

Winners of Inspiration HOTEL Competition Revealed
By Bustler Editors|
Monday, Aug 27, 2012
OPENGAP has announced the winners of its international Inspiration HOTEL Ideas Competition which sought for designs of spaces that motivate creativity and concentration, allowing users to focus, inspire and develop their artistic ideas. The Jury was comprised of the architects Ricardo Agraz, Jorge Ambrosi, Salvador Macías, and Álvaro Morales.
The winning proposals are:
First Prize: IH1709
Authors: Jorge Antonio Ruiz Boluda, José Asensio, Agustín Durá Herrero, Paul Dieterlen Escoto (Spain)
From the jury report: "A clear, resounding, masterfully expressed and refined aesthetic proposal. Creates an object with a poetry based in strong and timeless principles such as the barracks of the Albufera and enhances the traditional architecture of the place.
The site selection is also very ingenious and suggestive. The project, in itself, creates a new place, conceived as a machine, an instrument to absorb the environment and create new and unusual landscapes. The central "patio" offers a unique and unrepeatable space.
Puts on an intrinsic value a characteristic of good architecture that is rarely seen today: the reminiscent capacity of a work piece, the power to make us look inside ourselves as individuals and as a species.
The spatial quality of the interior is also spotless. The way each module intertwines with the others generates a remarkable spatiality."
Second Prize: IH1718
Authors: Gordan Vitevski, Mila Dimitrovska, Monika Novkovikj, Jovana Ivanovski, Vlado Danailov (Macedonia)
From the jury report: "A proposal deeply linked to reflection, to remembrance and also to that good nostalgia that makes us susceptible to creation.
The proposal offers a wonderful place. It enhances the site and bows to nature, resolving the program in a forthright way.
The concept behind the proposal is as good as the resulting project. It breaks through the landscape with a forceful gesture and sharp cut, as an indelible mark on the site.
The graphical level of the presentation is also very remarkable."
Third Prize: IH1630
Authors: Sneider Muñoz, Juan David Ramirez Dominguez, Diana Manrique (Colombia)
From the jury report: "This is a project that denotes the authors' skills with a remarkable level of development and a very effective resolution of the interrelationships of the different spaces.
It achieves a profound dialogue with the landscape through its heavy and stony materiality, rooted to the ground where the nature and artifice intend to merge.
It values the privacy of the different spaces for the artists and offers a privileged view of the countryside."
The Jury also awarded three Mentions:
Mention: IH1623
Authors: Theano Iris Kouneni, Basilis Babougyios (Greece)
From the jury report: "This proposal retrieves a place for the city greatly valuing the public space with art as a motif.
The references between the original use of the space and the proposal are metaphorically well achieved. It presents nature as the protagonist of the staging space. The idea is presented in a clear and impeccable conceptual sequence."
Mention: IH1647
Authors: Ahinitze Errasti, Alejandro Gonzalez (Holland)
From the jury report: "The project has the value of the complaint and the criticism in a time and context in which the dissertation on conventional values of architecture and consumer goods it welcomed.
The approach of giving a public use to the buildings, that are inert due democratic absolutism is extremely thoughtful and courageous."
Mention: IH1640
Author: Alberto Simon Baulenas (Spain)
From the jury report: "From a proactive stance, this project extends the competition program by giving to it a fascinating new dimension.
It solves the living and creating inscribing them in an attractive adventure.It recognizes the conceptual and poetic value of the proposal, highlighting the possibility of transfer of the whole and the possibility of separating the core individual spaces."

The antonym of choice for "dot-com" is often "brick and mortar," but the essence of industry is more often "pipes and pumps." This is especially true in the process plants that feed our economy electric power, fuels and other chemicals vital to its well-being. Maintaining and upgrading process plants is a high-stakes race against the clock. Three-dimensional graphical power, now moving onto portable systems, accelerates the pace when it harnesses the latest tool for telling computers about the world around them—the laser scanner.
Washington Group International, an eWeek Corporate Partner, uses its own devices to develop a "point cloud" thats assembled by software into a virtual-reality model of structures and equipment (see screen). With new-generation scanners encompassing a 320-degree field of view, a three-person crew can measure a process plant unit in a week, said Denis Dugan, Washington Groups director of IT for power and petrochemical business units. As computers get faster, the hard part of IT is finding faster ways to tell the machines what they need to know.

All we ask you to do is return it to us at your expense within 14 days of your original order. Returned items must be in a resalable condition. Once we have established that your item is fit for resale we will refund you for the product immediately. Please note for certain items a 15% restocking charge may be applied.
If you are looking to make a return, please see our returns form. If you could fill this in and email it over to us, we'll be able to help you much more efficiently.
Custom Made Products: As you can perhaps imagine, I'm afraid we are unable to accept the return of bespoke or modified items unless they are damaged or faulty. Please note we will send you a proof of your bespoke artwork by email before printing any sign or visitor pass. To ensure no mistakes occur we will only print this product once you have approved your artwork.
If something goes wrong…
Finally, if in the unlikely event something goes wrong, we will put it right. If the fault lies with us, we will do it at our expense not yours. This we feel fits in with who we are and what we are trying to achieve. Rather than upset you once and never hear from you again, we would much rather build our business around establishing long, happy trading relationships today, tomorrow and hopefully for many years to come.
