Abstract
THIS long‐running BBC Television series aims at recounting success stories of British industry. It was natural, therefore, to assume that someday the British Paint Industry would provide the material for a programme. That day came at a very late hour on July 29th. Perhaps to ensure that early‐to‐bedders might learn something about paint, the programme was repeated at a much earlier hour on August 4th.

Abstract
In order to reflect the increasing influence of the drum industry on British packaging, the Association of Steel Drum Manufacturers has decided to broaden its sphere of activities: it will now represent the interests of manufacturers of plastics drums. As a result the new title is The Association of Drum Manufacturers. The ADM will also represent the interests of its members on such subjects as UK and EEC legislation, and on national and international packaging standards. The offices will remain at 115 High St., Godalming, GU7 1AQ, Surrey.

Abstract
Purpose
The maintenance of green building technologies such as building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a challenge due to the non-existence of maintainability considerations during the design stage. This led to building defects which accounts to high expenditures throughout the building's lifecycle. The use of BIPV in buildings is an emergent trend, and further research is requisite for their maintainability. This paper assesses the performance and maintainability of BIPV façade applications based on the green maintainability design considerations.
Design/methodology/approach
Qualitative method is undertaken in this study, which includes field surveys, instrumental case studies and stakeholder interviews to probe the issues linked with the BIPV's maintainability.
Findings
Findings have shown some technical defects discovered in BIPV applications in tropical areas, as well as issues on cost, aesthetics and implementation are the main causes for the low adoption of BIPV in Singapore.
Originality/value
Understanding the research outcomes will embolden designers and allied professionals to team up in ensuring the long-term maintainability and sustainability of green building technologies. This research gives recent and important information in the design, installation and maintainability of BIPV, as well as good practices that would add value to facilities management and to the design of green building technologies.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the use of node-link mapping (NLM) on the effectiveness of a structured treatment for dual diagnosis for men living in a low-secure environment.
Design/methodology/approach
In total, 15 participants were recruited and randomly allocated to one of two conditions. The control group, treatment as usual (TAU) or the treatment group, TAU with NLM. Outcome measures used were: a qualitative evaluation form, The Alcohol and Illegal Drugs Decisional Balance Scale and the Brief Situational Confidence Questionnaire.
Findings
Results indicate no statistically significant difference for either group on the pre- and post-treatment outcome measures used. Qualitative data indicated that those using NLM reported the intervention as useful and instructive more often.
Research limitations/implications
The results gained were only a snapshot of the intervention straight after treatment and did not take into account any long-term benefits of therapy such as substance use relapse rates. The outcome measures used may not have been properly understood by all respondents, or reflect practical change. The NLM tool may not have been used as confidently as TAU. The TAU condition needs to be reviewed to improve effectiveness, and NLM to be included to improve the accessibility. A study comparing other outcome tools needs to be completed. Training for staff using NLM may require coaching.
Originality/value
This paper has a high/low originality. It highlights a number of advantages to NLM when comparing this to TAU.
