editorswelcome Anthony Hill Managing Director, aalborg LOREM Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal

distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.

Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.

It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature.

With limited time before the start of the school year, Source One Consulting helped Goffs School in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, be ready with a refit of the 6th Form Centre.

EFFECTIVE USE OF SCHOOL ROOM SPACE Goffs School Sixth Form Refit at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire Making the most of limited space in schools and colleges is always a challenge and so we worked with Goffs School on a detailed floor plan for the Sixth Form to determine the optimum layout for the Private Study and Social areas.

we selected for Goffs School were light coloured for a fresh classroom feel but with hard wearing finishes.

ON TIME AND ON BUDGET We are delighted to say that, despite the short deadline, the school refit was completed on time, on budget and to the highest standards.

A VERY HAPPY CLIENT

We were then able to install Study Carrels along a window wall to provide a quiet private study areas for students as well as supplying school furniture such as tables, chairs and storage.

In the student social areas we installed some superb sofas and tables which will provide comfortable communal seating areas.

PRACTICAL, HARD WEARING SCHOOL FURNITURE THAT LOOKS GOOD

Goffs School in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire has been delivering outstanding education to students for over 30 years receiving praise from the Prime Minister and featuring on the National News.

Goffs are delighted with the Sixth Form refit commenting "it was very smooth and efficient, a great job well done. Thanks".

Good Posture is Cost Effective

by Anthony Hill, Managing Director, Aalborg DK

“

Students frequently miss lectures when seating is

uncomfortable. They also need comfortable accommodation

with good and versatile seating.

”

Have YOU heard such comments?

Are they representative views, and if so what should be done to raise attendance and study?

Does the furniture you provide fit all sizes of both male and female students? E.g. 1.5m – 2.1m tall, and both thin and of varying width and weight.

UK is apparently surprised that many UK students prefer Dutch and other EU universities, which cost less and are more innovative. Scandinavian universities such as Aahus and Copenhagen have both understood and spent hugely on good and comfortable equipment to assist concentration and enjoyment.

Students ENJOY the company of like minded colleagues to learn and enjoy. Many look for a companion to share love/life/enjoyment, the better the environment and the background pleasures it brings the more likely is the recommendation that university gives out.

Active students from Loughborough University pound past my door each day. Young, sweaty, energetic and want to be a Paula Radcliff or a male equivalent. Some overdo it and spend time at Loughborough Clinics after injury. Some spend time in the same clinic after too much time not studying and trying to cram three years into three months at a badly designed desk.

Many of us have become used to poor seating, much related to school desks and chairs. Children as young as five years old are now complaining of back ache.

Slouching on soggy chairs at home using laptops or watching TV and too little exercise doesn’t help.

Badly designed school desks and chairs make matters

worse and only recently have school and college bursars begun to understand that well made postural furniture reduces discomfort and shuffling aiding students achieve better grades. It’s now medically accepted that students should both stand and sit.

Ergonomically correct furniture must relate to both the person and the task.

Many have not a notion of how good furniture should work to suit the wide range of shapes and sizes we cover. If a college lecture lasts an hour or more it’s essential that pain doesn’t prevent learning.

We all need inspiring with good habits and it’s a disgrace that over 40% of later workplace absenteeism is the consequence of back pain. No matter how expensive the adjustable chair, if the desk height is the bog standard 720mm then discomfort is guaranteed!

Sit/stand desks have been the norm in Scandinavia for over thirty years, here some are even claiming it’s a new idea!

Alongside is some idea of how we should be sitting, much higher than at present, which with electric lift desks, the ability to also stand. Architects mostly use high stools, Churchill did much of his writing at a high desk. My company produces a large range of desks and chairs, available in many shapes and finishes, together with saddle stools which allow high seated comfort, especially useful for IT work in a busy environment.

Sitting should be a pleasure not a pain. Learning ditto!

NEW FOR 2016...

We’re introducing a number of height adjustable chairs and desks... and there’s an exciting movable storage w all in the pipeline too. Find out more about the developing A alborg range, or join our mailing list online at...
