Surrey

Positioned in England’s South East corner, just outside of London, is Surrey. Historic villages and bustling towns surrounded by stunning scenery and rolling countryside. It is the perfect place for a day trip or a leisurely weekend break away.  With an abundance of restaurants and pubs and an extensive variety of things to do and places to see, means that there will be something to suit all ages.

Walking and cycling around the quiet country lanes and bridleways is a delightful way to explore the stunning countryside and take in the spectacular views.

If you prefer to explore some of Surrey’s history, Loseley Park is a stately home situated just outside of Guildford, Surrey, near Compton. A historical home which has remained relatively unchanged since it was built in 1562 and is still the home of the More-Molyneux family.

Loseley Park, Surrey is a splendid place to visit to wander around the beautifully kept grounds and house, capturing the stunning views towards the North Downs.  Loseley Park is also an extremely popular location, with films such as Sense and Sensibility being filmed there, and offers a welcoming and fascinating venue for civil weddings and corporate functions.

Also nestled in the Surrey Hills surrounded by breathtaking landscape is Dunsfold Park, just 9 miles South of Guildford and 40 miles from London. Dunsfold Park is home to Dunsfold Aerodrome, providing a range of aviation services from flight testing, maintenance and repairs, to apron parking and hangarage.  Each year the aerodrome hosts its own ‘Wings and Wheels’ airshow, attracting over 32,000 spectators. It is also used as a film location due to it being an operational airfield and it having the only 747 in Europe accessible solely for filming.

Not only an airfield, but Dunsfold Park in Surrey is also a thriving business park offering units to small businesses right up to large warehouses. Over 100 companies are based  here, including some large multi-national companies.

Office Fit Out

Office Fit Out


In this economic downturn, businesses can never be too really cautious with the office space planning. Here I would like to analyse all areas of office fit out process. but this is undeniably a big subject, ranging from commercial refitting to space appraisal. Thus, to keep the article brief, I have only analyzed the alternatives on offer to deal with the increased space requirements. I plan to cover the other aspects of office refurbishment in forthcoming ezines.
What options do you have when you run out of office space? Office Fit Out or Office relocation?
Firms generally need more room because of additional headcount or headcount and stock. Large proportion businesses are unable to afford expanding their offices. These businesses prefer to consider the current workspace audit as well as replanning. This option tend to be inexpensive. And, these businesses would defend that relocating isn't necessary. There are many methods of reaching desired results, such as better partitioning and moving walls.

Nevertheless if your company is part of the lucky few that can afford and your additional office needs are significant, then the new building appraisal is going to be a realistic alternative for your business. Relocation is the perfect opportunity to incorporate improvement to your firm.

The new building appraisal would have the following tasks:
  • space audit: forecasting the space requirements in detail
  • headcount audit: planning the office bound workforce
  • new building appraisal: shortlisting potential office candidates for Regulatory Aspects and accessibility
Please do not lose sight of the future requirements too. This will not only help your business save money but also will help focus your alternatives.

In addition, whichever alternative your business choose, your business must think of a professional commercial refurbishment contractor. The commercial refurbishment contractor would project manage all aspects of the work as a single point of contact. This would allow your business
  • to pass any hassle onto the contractors
  • to make sure that every stage is on time, on budget and to a high standard of workmanship.
letting you concentrate on your day to day business.

Do consider one of the best best office refurbishment contractors, what ever you do.

On-page items becoming more important

A recent change on Timber Sash Windows front page text has dropped it about 6-7 places in SERPs, which is the really amazing proof of how important these the on-page optimisation is.

Other examples of the design and the content impacting the SERPs are the VM visual merchandising and office fit out.

What's also interesting is Google's SERP excerpts pointing out which words it's picking up from the specific pages.

And dozens of new BLs don't seem to make up for the lack of on-site factors any more.

Youtube and Netflix vs Airplay

Following from my recent rants about the Google Music, and how strong Apple Airplay is, it is really encouraging to see that Youtube and Netflix decided to take on the challenge.

Yesterday, there is a really good post on the details and the technical specifications (uPnP, DLNA, etc etc) about this.

But as a user it is brilliant news that the key players are showing a key interest in making life easier for us all.

I firmly believe that the more competition there is the better tools and utilities we will get.

Google Play music sucks

I have never been so disappointed with the Google Music stuff recently. It's discussed as a serious alternative to Apple's iTunes but I don't think it is anywhere near good enough.

It does not easily snychronise across mobile devices as it requires a PC in the loop.

I would mark this as a 3 out of 10.

What also amazed me with Apple is the AirPlay function that I discovered through my Amp. And, how easily  an iPhone seems to pick it up.

Yet, I had to spend a whole day trying to hook up my Android device to it so that I can play the music through the surround sound (bit like Sonos wireless utility).

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

With Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock.

But the real star is the little actor named, Thomas Horn.

It is an incredibly well written story around 9/11 but actually it is an emotional one about a little boy trying to cope with his father's death.

I really loved the story even though it drags on at times about the kid's obsessive compulsive habits.

By the way, Max von Sydow is incredible in it as well.

Samsung S2 incall volume adjustment


Try this, finf it else where, http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Samsung-Galaxy-S2/Samsung-Galaxy-S-2-headphone-call-volume-too-low/td-p/761245

I’ve investigated this issue, and it does seem to be a general one, found across all networks. The general fix is to access the service mode, and alter the default max volume for a headset call.

Here's what I've found on the internet (not tried yet! so do it at your own risk)

•Enter this number *#*#197328640#*#*
•This will open the service mode menu.
•Select option [5] AUDIO
•Select option [1] (VOICE CALL)
•Select option [2] HEADSET
•Select option [1] Volume
•Select option [1] SRC Speech RX Volume
•Select option [5] 5_lvl : 87
•Press the menu button (left side)
•Choose Key Input
•Enter a value between 0 and 100, with 100 the loudest setting.
•Press ok
•Then press the menu button and select back this will save (don't use the right side back key you normally use to navigate the phone or you will quit out of the settings).
•Keep selecting the menu and back until you exit the service mode menu.
You will also note you can change volume settings for other things like Bluetooth, handsets, video call etc.
