Bytes! Camera! Action!

Article Abstract:

Digital cameras, which take digital images that can be downloaded to a computer, edited and manipulated, can play a useful role in the UK construction industry. This technology is quite expensive, but the few consultants and contractors that have begun using it have mainly been enthusiastic. Digital cameras are easy to use, and some have additional features. The Sanyo digiCAM VPCX300, for example, has a smart media card that can be loaded with text to allow the camera to be linked to a projector or a television.

Golden girl

Article Abstract:

The refurbishment and new kitchen extension of Jacobstow Parish Hall, Cornwall provided town clerk, Mollie Parsons, with the opportunity to become the new hall's project manager, despite having no experience in the industry and being well into her 80s. Parsons received both financial and management support in her role from the Millennium Commission, which provided 11,000 pounds sterling towards the cost of the new hall.
