The new campus would be in Broadcast Centres on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which just held the London Olympics last year and left a wealth of high-tech communication infrastructure and the field. Therefore, a number of universities, including London-based universities, like UCL, and other universities, like Loughborough have all expressed the intention to set up a campus there.According to Loughborough website, the university has already confirmed the establishment of a new campus.However, the size would be really small. The publicised size of 7,000 m2 just equals to 1.73 acres, which is nothing comparing to the current campus size of 433 acres. This means the new campus would only held very limited students there. But still it is a very important news to the university and the students, as the new extension would definitely increase the interests of prospective students and provide great opportunities for the students’ development in London.The campus would mainly focuses on postgraduate and executive education, as well as research. The disciplines  confirmed to date will include business and management, media and communications, digital technologies and sport.Further readingLoughborough in Londonhttp://www.lboro.ac.uk/londonThe report from Loughboroughhttp://www.lboro.ac.uk/service/publicity/news-releases/2013/49_LIL.htmlPermalink |Comment (0)AppleInstall Windows 8 on Macbook mid 201022/05/2013 – 10:15 amThe Macbook mid 2010 is a bit outdated, however, still not being completely abandoned by Apple. It can keep pace with every new update of OS X. However, on the platform of Windows, that would be a totally different story.As we all known, we have to use Boot Camp to install Windows on a Mac computer(though other methods available). But when we check the supporting list of Boot Camp, we might get disapointed. Firstly, Boot Camp claims it does not support this model. Secondly, there are no drivers for this model running Windows 8. Offcially, it can not run Windows 8. Can we just follow what Apple told us? No.The PreparationSo if we still want to try to install Windows 8 on our Macbook, what you need are:a blank DVDthe internal DVD burnera USB stick(capacity > 1Gb)the Backup(very important!)choosing options carefully!Firstly, we HAVE to use a blank DVD disc to burn the Windows image into it. DON’T use your USB stick because I didn’t make it work.In this step, please burn the image into the DVD.Secondly, do a backup. Please backup all the data on the d
