Bloxels is the Best STEAM Software for Kids
In December of 2020, my then seven year-old was big into art and Angry Birds, which was his first foray into video games. He would play the game and when his screen time was over switch to his desk to draw all of the characters and the levels. As an engineering dad seeing his brain begin to piece together the complexities of playing a game like that, I naturally began itching to find a great gift that could introduce him to programming.
We had tried a few things previously; like those robots you can program to move with simple arrow buttons to denote going forward or turning. They were neat, but didn’t really capture his attention. A bit of the same with scratch and scratch-like visual programming tools and games; He could understand the basics, but there wasn’t enough payoff to them that held his attention.
Looking at what else might be out there to fill the “engineering for kids” void, it seemed as if I had to concede that there really wasn’t a great product for such an early age.
Deciding to pivot on engineering a tiny bit, I purchased Bloxels, an educational video game building app. I recall being quite unsure about it as there were a lot of mixed reviews on Amazon. It was an interesting product though. Not only were you purchasing a voucher to have an account and own the app, it also came with a physical pixel art board that lets kids design characters and levels by placing colored cubes into a grid; novel, but a neat way to turn pixel art into a tangible event.
So on Christmas morning, my little one opened it up and with a clearly excited-confused look of, “Wow, amazing… what is it?!?!” our journey into Bloxels began.
What Bloxels is and what it isn’t
Before I go on, I just want to note that one of the great things about Bloxels is that what it is now is much more evolved from what it was three years ago. So from here on out I’ll be referring to the latest capabilities rather than just the old.
Bloxels is not really a programming game. At least not in a clear one-to-one manner. You won’t find an exposed programming language with if statements and loops and variables to learn. Instead, Bloxels focuses more on the mechanics of design, both in form and function. And so in that sense, Bloxels is absolutely an engineering game.
Teaching the form of design
Bloxels is a great first drawing app for kids. I could even imagine that, had I been a Bloxels user earlier, I would have plopped my three or four year old in front of the character designer to play around with building pixel art. You can build pixel-based sprites with an easy to use interface and even animate them. It’s an incredible introduction to digital art that balances ease of use and complexity of capability with masterful UX design.
There are essentially four modes of design within Bloxels:
- The character builder (for building characters with all their moving states)
- The art builder (for building environmental level tiles and items)
- A background builder (for creating backgrounds for your levels to sit on top of)
- And the game builder itself (for designing and bringing all your assets together into a game)
The first three design modes mentioned above have a very similar drawing app interface; it’s the place you can really exercise those artistic pixel-art skills. The game builder though, is quite another beast.
Teaching the function of design
Upon creating a new game, you’re given a choice:
Top-Down; think original Mario Bros. vs original The Legend of Zelda. Once you make a choice the game builder sets you into your level, which is a large gridded-out canvas where you can place blocks. Different block types make up the core functionality of building games; from terrain, hazard, collectible, story block, enemy, action block, power-up and liquid, you have everything you need to design out the function of the game. The thing I love most about this is that the types of blocks are color-coded and can be placed down completely from a functional perspective first, and then later skinned with your various block-art designs. This presents a huge engineering skill packed into a very simple feature: planning out your functional design and mechanics separate from focusing on your artistic vision.
Each block type also has configuration settings, this is where we start to see some programming concepts in the game. Though limited to the features of Bloxels, there are enough if/then scenarios that can be built and toggled to do a decent job of building the mental foundations of connecting various decision trees to form a functional game.
You can set up:
- Doors and keys
- Various difficulties and types of enemies
- Power-ups for your character to change their abilities mid-game
- Warp points to move throughout levels and even across separate game maps
- And much more; Bloxels continues to add features regularly to keep games engaging
Set up for success and encouraging failure
The last thing I’ll focus on is how the game comes with a ton of asset packs and pre-made examples for kids to get started from. This creates a smooth on-ramp of usability and learning that is often lacking in software. At the same time, the
test button is almost always on screen, encouraging learning to experiment and iterate with ideas with a near real-time feedback loop.
They doubled down on the engineering
I’m not going to belabor convincing you that this is a good app for kids; it really is.
Instead, let’s take a look at what really clinches Bloxels for me personally as something I want to support. Remember when I mentioned the bad Amazon reviews? Well it turns out that Bloxels original owners didn’t do a great job at marketing the product and began failing as a company. Therefore they went through a period where they were offloading product with pretty much zero support, causing folks with issues to run screaming to the review section to say what a scam it was.
I’m not sure I have the story pieced together 100% correct, but it seems like one of the lead engineers was able to rescue the brand and the app from the company, take it over and turn the ship around by pouring time into making it a better, more reliable product. Years later, Bloxles seems to be quite healthy, and their continuous investment into features over many years has made it the incredible app it is today.
Under the hood, play.bloxels.com is a pretty elegant looking SPA. All of the various features, capabilities and textures come in over API endpoints as structured JSON data, which is then rendered client-side. Given that once you’re editing games nearly everything you see is user-generated or user-configured, it’s quite a smart tactic to save and load sets of configurations back and forth, with efficiencies going into the size and structures of those datasets. Just open up
devtools as you poke around and you’ll be impressed with the interworkings of fetch calls and responses.
We’ve been a Bloxels household for over three years now and there are few apps or games that I can recall having such a long-term reverence for. I thought I was just getting something fun for my son to express his creativity and was surprised to find out it absolutely was that and a ton more. Bloxels strikes a balance of fun and education in a way that is quite rare. It promotes learning to iterate on design and take into consideration the player and advanced game mechanics and shows how bringing function and aesthetic design together is a powerful combination for creating engaging experiences. It is the best STEAM app I’ve come across for young children to learn how all the aspects of design and engineering play a powerful role in our world.
Once again, these thoughts are my own entirely, Bloxels has no understanding that I’m publishing this. They have just proven themselves deserving of kind and reverent words and a solid recommendation from this engineering dad.
I’ll leave you with one of my son’s first games to try out for yourself: Flopsy’s Adventure

Wedding cake designer Anna Tyler had no problem earning industry awards for her delicious creations. But something was missing. While her competitors were growing in force, her business was standing still. She needed fresh ideas. Anna needed a brand strategy that would capture the distinctive quality of her growing enterprise.
The original company name, ‘Anna Tyler Cakes’ had its limitations. It had worked fine as a self-starting cottage industry, but now it needed to be pitched at the top end of the market, away from the competition.
A simple but tactical move away from an individualistic focus – the new name ‘ANNA Cake Couture’ retained reputation, and would grow with the business.

Until recently, I didn’t know you could have a binary action that did two things within a single Reaper Action.
I have always wanted to set up a Reaper mouse modifier for the mouse scroll wheel to adjust item volume, but in Reaper’s mouse settings there is no way to assign actions to the mouse wheel, only left click, left drag, and double click.
However, we can get around this by creating a custom action using the following action list items:
- Skip next action if CC parameter >0/mid
- Skip next action if CC parameter <0/mid
With these, we can create a binary action and assign it to the mouse wheel so that mouse wheel up performs one action and mouse wheel down performs another.
In my case I assigned the above custom action to alt+mousewheel, so that whenever I press alt and scroll the mousewheel over an item, it adjusts that item’s volume by +/-1dB increments. This is often be faster than clicking and dragging the item volume knob or item volume line.

The City developed a development plan to guide planning and zoning decisions. It is a broad brush look at what uses are envisioned for different parts of the city. The land use and subsequent zoning may be based on current and surrounding uses, street classifications, floodplain or wellhead protection or a projected best future use. For instance, a section of town with local streets may be identified for residential but a large undeveloped property adjacent to a state route may be designated for industrial use. Ultimately the zoning code will set the standards for development, but the land use plan is the starting point.

Some are customizable, allowing you to adjust the setup as your storage needs change. This organization solution not only keeps your equipment in good condition by preventing unnecessary wear and tear but also encourages an active lifestyle by making it simple to grab your gear and go.
Add a fold-down workbench
A fold-down workbench is a space-saving marvel that provides a sturdy work surface when you need it and folds away against the wall when you don’t. Ideal for small garages or multi-use spaces, this type of workbench is mounted on the wall and can be easily deployed for DIY projects, repairs, or any task that requires a flat working area.
The bench is designed to withstand significant weight, making it suitable for a variety of projects. When not in use, it tucks neatly away, maximizing available space for other activities or storage. Adding a fold-down workbench to your garage is a smart way to enhance functionality without sacrificing square footage, making your garage a more versatile and organized space.
Use clear storage bins for visibility
Clear storage bins revolutionize garage organization by allowing you to see their contents at a glance, eliminating the need to rummage through opaque containers to find what you’re looking for. These bins can be used to store a variety of items, including seasonal decorations, sports equipment, and automotive supplies.
By labeling each bin and stacking them on shelves or in cabinets, you create a tidy, efficient storage system that maximizes space and reduces clutter. This visibility not only saves time but also encourages you to keep items organized, as you can quickly identify and access what you need. Implementing clear storage bins in your garage is a straightforward, effective way to enhance orderliness and functionality, making it easier to maintain a clean and organized space.
Paint the walls for a clean look
A fresh coat of paint can transform a drab garage into a bright, inviting space. Choosing light colors for the walls can significantly improve the ambiance of your garage, making it feel cleaner and more spacious. Lighter hues reflect more light, which is especially beneficial in areas that typically receive little natural light. This visual enhancement can make your garage a more pleasant environment for working on projects or simply retrieving items.
Additionally, painting the walls can protect them from moisture and wear, contributing to the overall maintenance of your garage. Opting for durable, easy-to-clean paint ensures that the walls can withstand the rigors of garage activities and remain looking fresh for years to come. This simple makeover idea is cost-effective and has an immediate impact on the aesthetic appeal of your garage.
Install a car lift for extra vehicle space
Installing a car lift in your garage is an innovative solution for homeowners facing limited parking space. This device allows you to safely stack one vehicle above another, effectively doubling your garage’s vehicle capacity. Car lifts are particularly useful for collectors looking to store classic cars or families with multiple vehicles.
Beyond storage, a car lift provides easy access for vehicle maintenance and detailing, making it a valuable tool for car enthusiasts. The lifts come in various designs to accommodate different weight capacities and garage heights, ensuring there’s a solution that fits your specific needs.
While the installation of a car lift represents a significant investment, the added convenience, space efficiency, and potential to increase your property’s value make it a worthwhile consideration for maximizing your garage’s functionality.
Create a recycling and trash station
Designating a specific area in your garage for a recycling and trash station streamlines waste management at home. By setting up separate bins for recyclables, landfill waste, and possibly compost, you can efficiently sort your waste as you generate it, making recycling a seamless part of daily life.
This station can be customized with labeled bins or drawers to accommodate different types of recyclables—such as paper, plastics, and metals—encouraging responsible waste disposal.
Adding a recycling and trash station not only helps in keeping your garage organized but also promotes environmental consciousness among household members. It’s a simple yet impactful way to contribute to sustainability efforts while keeping your space tidy and reducing trips to the community bins.

Add a utility sink for easy cleanup
A utility sink in the garage is a practical addition for any homeowner, providing a convenient spot for washing up after gardening, automotive work, or other messy projects. Installed next to a workbench or in a corner, this deep, sturdy sink can handle everything from rinsing off dirty tools and paintbrushes to washing pets.
Having a utility sink means you can keep the grime out of your kitchen or bathroom sinks, containing messes to a more suitable, easy-to-clean area. Opt for a model with a high faucet and sprayer for added versatility, making it easier to fill buckets or clean large items. The presence of a utility sink elevates the functionality of your garage, making it a more versatile space for projects and maintenance tasks.
Install overhead storage racks
Overhead storage racks are a brilliant solution to utilize the unused space near the ceiling of your garage. These sturdy racks are perfect for storing seasonal items, camping gear, storage containers, and other infrequently used items, keeping them out of the way but accessible when needed. By elevating storage, you free up valuable floor space, allowing for better movement and organization within the garage.
Overhead racks can be custom-fitted to various garage sizes and configurations, ensuring a tailored solution to your storage needs. This type of storage is especially beneficial in smaller garages where maximizing every inch of space is crucial. Installing overhead storage racks is a cost-effective way to expand your storage capacity, making your garage a more organized and functional area.
Set up a garden tool organization wall
Creating a garden tool organization wall in your garage provides a dedicated space to store rakes, shovels, gardening gloves, and other gardening tools. This can be achieved by installing a slatwall panel or pegboard, along with various hooks and bins designed to hold tools of different sizes. By hanging tools on the wall, you not only free up floor space but also keep your gardening equipment in good condition, preventing them from becoming damaged or lost.
A well-organized tool wall makes it easy to find what you need at a glance, saving time and frustration. It also turns your collection of gardening tools into a visually pleasing display, encouraging you to maintain the organization. This simple addition transforms your garage into a more functional space, supporting your gardening hobby with minimal fuss.
Incorporate a lounge area with seating
Transforming a section of your garage into a lounge area with comfortable seating offers a versatile space for relaxation, socializing, or enjoying hobbies. This can be as simple as adding a couple of armchairs, a sofa, or a bench, along with some soft lighting and a coffee table. Consider using weather-resistant furniture if your garage is not climate-controlled.
This cozy corner can serve as a quiet retreat for reading, an informal gathering spot for friends, or a chill zone during breaks from work or projects. Incorporating a lounge area into your garage creates a multifunctional space that extends beyond storage and work, adding value to your home. Personal touches like rugs, cushions, and wall art can enhance the ambiance, making the garage feel more like an extension of your living space.

Add wall-mounted shelves for additional storage
Wall-mounted shelves are a versatile storage solution for garages, allowing you to use vertical space efficiently. These shelves can be used to store a wide range of items, from tools and hardware to sports equipment and household supplies. By elevating items off the floor, you not only create more walking and working space but also prevent damage from water or pests.
Wall-mounted shelves can be customized to fit any wall size and can be adjusted to accommodate items of various heights. This flexibility makes them an ideal choice for garages where storage needs may change over time. Installing wall-mounted shelves is a straightforward way to enhance your garage’s storage capacity and organization, making it easier to keep the space neat and tidy.
Install a pegboard for tool organization
Installing a pegboard for tool organization in your garage transforms a simple wall into a highly efficient workspace. Pegboards, made of sturdy materials with evenly spaced holes, can accommodate hooks, shelves, and bins to hang tools, equipment, and accessories. This customizable storage solution allows you to arrange and rearrange tools based on your specific needs and preferences, providing easy access and visibility.
It’s particularly effective for organizing hand tools, such as hammers, wrenches, and screwdrivers, keeping them within arm’s reach. The versatility of a pegboard system makes it suitable for hobbyists and professionals alike, enabling a clean, organized setup that can grow with your tool collection. By utilizing vertical space, a pegboard frees up valuable workbench and floor area, making your garage more functional and streamlined.
Use magnetic strips for holding small tools
Magnetic strips offer a sleek and efficient way to store and organize small metal tools and accessories. Mounted on a wall or along the edge of a workbench, these strips use strong magnets to securely hold items like screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, and drill bits. This storage method not only saves drawer space but also keeps your tools visible and easily accessible, enhancing workflow in your garage.
The simplicity of slapping a tool onto the magnetic strip and pulling it off when needed streamlines tasks and projects. Magnetic strips are particularly useful in tight spaces, providing a compact and flexible storage solution that can be expanded by adding more strips. Their installation is straightforward, making them an attractive option for anyone looking to organize their garage with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.
Create a corner for seasonal decorations storage
Designating a corner of your garage for seasonal decorations storage is a smart strategy to keep holiday items organized and out of the way during the off-season. This can be accomplished by utilizing shelving units, clear storage bins, and labels to categorize and store decorations by holiday or season. Clear bins allow you to see the contents at a glance, while labels help in quickly identifying the items you need.
Utilizing vertical space with shelving keeps bins off the floor, protecting them from moisture and making it easier to retrieve what you need. This dedicated storage area not only frees up space in your home but also simplifies the process of decorating for holidays, as everything is neatly organized and easily accessible. Creating a seasonal decorations storage corner is an effective way to manage these items, ensuring they stay in good condition year after year.
Install a mini fridge and snack area
Setting up a mini fridge and snack area in your garage creates a convenient spot for refreshments, transforming it into a more welcoming and functional space. This addition is particularly beneficial for those who spend significant time working on projects or exercising in the garage, providing easy access to cold drinks and snacks without the need to go back into the house.
You can complement the mini fridge with a small cabinet or shelving unit stocked with non-perishable snacks, a coffee maker, or even a microwave for quick meals. This not only enhances the usability of your garage but also makes it a more enjoyable place to spend time, whether you’re taking a break from work, socializing, or just seeking a quiet retreat. A well-organized snack area can turn your garage into a mini oasis, offering convenience and comfort right where you need it.

Add climate control for year-round comfort
Incorporating climate control into your garage ensures year-round comfort, making it a more versatile and usable space regardless of the weather. Installing a heating and cooling system allows you to work on projects, exercise, or relax in your garage comfortably, even in extreme temperatures. Options range from portable heaters and air conditioners to more permanent solutions like mini-split systems or insulation upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
Climate control not only enhances the comfort level but also protects items stored in the garage from damage due to temperature fluctuations, such as electronics, tools, and seasonal decorations. By creating a temperature-controlled environment, you can maximize the use of your garage space throughout the year, making it as comfortable as the rest of your home. This upgrade can significantly increase the functionality and appeal of your garage, turning it into a truly livable extension of your living space.

Please help us welcome Diane Payne to the team for the month of December!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be here sharing a little about myself along with some layouts I made with the amazing December kits. I married the new kid on the block that I met in 6th grade. We’ve been married for almost 15 years now and reside in Texas. We have two teenage kids that keep us busy with fun activities like football, wrestling and softball. I work full-time as a curriculum designer for an airline. When I’m not working or busy with family activities you can find me in my scrap room.
Q: What is your favorite storage method?
A: The majority of my supplies are stored in open baskets that are placed on shelves. I have learned that if my supplies aren’t easy to get to I won’t use them, so baskets are the perfect solution.
Q: How did you get started scrapbooking?
A: I’ve always enjoyed crafts and even put together a wedding album complete with memorabilia and hand drawn titles back in the late 80’s before scrapbooking became what it is today. I started scrapbooking regularly when my daughter was born in 1997.
Q: Do you follow trends? If so, what it your favorite right now and how do you incorporate it into your work?
A: I like to follow trends but don’t always incorporate them into my pages. My favorite trend right now is gold. It looks great with all colors. I use it on almost every layout with either letter stickers, paper, embellishments like enamel dots or gold mist splatters.
Q: What is your must have supply and why?
A: I love patterned paper. It always reflects the latest trends and colors and is inexpensive too. If I had only my Cameo, patterned paper, and circle embellishments like buttons, brads, flair, sequin and enamel dots I could create for a long time and be a happy girl.
Q: How did you get on your first design team?
A: I applied for a challenge/inspiration blog, Paper Issues, back before they became an online retailer. I was so excited when I received that e-mail inviting me to be on their team.
Q: Any advice for those wanting to design on a team?
A: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! I know that sounds cheesy, but it is so true. If you are trying out for a team where they are looking for 10 designers, they will be looking for a variety of styles in the selection process so they might only need 3 designers with your particular style. If you don’t make it the first time, don’t let that discourage you from trying out for their next call. I also think it is important to be involved in challenges for companies that you love too, it helps them get to know you and your style.
Thank you so much for your amazing designs, Diane. We are blown away by your creativity and attention to detail!

Gabel Carport Roofs
What is a gable roof carport?
Unlike flat roof carports, a gable roof is angled or pitched like the roof of a home. One of the best reasons to have a gable roofline is to help weather and debris roll and fall to the ground, rather than sitting stagnantly. Another benefit of a gabled roof carport is how it looks next to your home. They offer a beautiful aesthetic and compliment any home they are constructed next to. Our gable roof carports can be customized in a style that blends with your home. Choose the color and styling to make the carport an extension of your home's exterior. We can leave them free-standing or attach the carport to your house depending on the features of your home and where the carport is situated.
An added benefit to the Gabled roof carport is its versatility. It won't be long until your preparing to host a birthday party or family BBQ under it. They offer exceptional shade coverage and the perfect structure to attach decorations to for the best social events. Have questions about our gable roof carports in Austin? Don't hesitate to contact us today.
Austin Garage Carports
Uses For Gable Roof Carports
The best ways to use your new Austin carport.
More than just weather protection
Recreational Vehicle Storage
Our clients use our carports for things like RVs, golf carts, and other similar recreational vehicles. Unfortunately, weather and debris can take a toll on these types of vehicles, maybe even faster than your day to day car. While meant to be outside, these items tend to get less use and attention than our daily car or truck. So, a carport offers exceptional protection from weather and sun, prolonging the life of your recreational vehicle. We can customize the dimensions to ensure it will fit easily under the structure, and last for years to come.
If you love to do DYI projects then a carport is ideal for you. We often need "space" to do projects like these and doing them inside can be a hassle, not to mention messy. A carport will give you plenty of room and protection while you use the space as a small temporary workshop. You won't have to worry about debris falling onto your newly painted cabinets doors or try to stretch yourself into a pretzel inside your home. This is just one more way that a carport will add value to your home and your quality of day to day life.
The Texas sun is brutal for kids to play under, and chances are you've seen a few sunburns sneak up on your kids. Now, you can turn your carport into the ultimate outdoor playroom. You'll be thrilled that the mess your kids usually make inside, can now be left outside. Further, they will have the space to spread out and even invite friends over to enjoy. Parents love carports as play areas because the structure is typically close to the home, where parents can easily keep an eye on them. Nothing like a gabled roof carport as the ultimate kids play fort.

Sinking Kalimantan Agarwood Bracelet
Indulge in the epitome of sophistication with our Sinking Grade Agarwood Bracelet from Kalimantan. This exquisite piece is an embodiment of the cherished Chinese agarwood aesthetic, where simplicity meets grandeur, and where every element is infused with meaning and elegance.
Sourced from the heart of Kalimantan, the beads of this bracelet are composed of the finest sinking grade agarwood — the most luxurious and sought-after kind. Its rarity is unparalleled, for it is the densest and most resinous, naturally selected by the buoyancy of water to be the treasure that does not float.
Each bead carries with it a rich, deep fragrance, a signature of its exceptional quality. This aroma is not just a scent but a whisper of the forest, a gentle yet persistent reminder of the raw, untamed beauty from which it hails.
In Chinese culture, agarwood is a symbol of prosperity and status, and to wear such a bracelet is to make a statement of cultural appreciation and personal distinction. The beads' smooth, polished surface contrasts with their profound scent, creating a sensory experience that is both tactile and olfactory.
The Sinking Grade Agarwood Bracelet is a celebration of nature's alchemy, available through The Attar Store. It is a subtle yet powerful accessory, one that complements both the meditative morning and the dynamic evening. It is not just an adornment but a piece of art, resonating with the legacy of the Chinese appreciation for nature's finest gifts.

In a sense, building a circular city, that is, using resources more effectively to empower the entire provider-producer loop, and thereby, the whole system itself, is the foundation of any smart city. Thinking in terms of nature, a sustainable city might be designed that feeds and recycles itself. The city behaves like a living creature, fulfilling its basic needs. It requires raw materials which it transforms for a specific use and then produces waste as part of the process.
Interacting flows of resources make the daily pulse of the city: equipment, materials, water, energy, heat, organic matter, and as many operating systems, and then there are the non-material resources, like people, skills, transportation, education, health, etc. A circular economy strives to balance the material and energy exchanges between nature and society and within society itself, working towards effectiveness and resilience.
Peterborough (UK), Winner of the Smart City Expo World Congress World’s Smart City Award 2015, declared at the congress that they want to be UK’s first circular city. For them, to be circular means efficient management of these cyclical resource flows. It is their desire to create the UK’s Environment Capital. This vision is inherently collaborative and requires a bottom-up approach by each of the city’s stakeholder groups. It is also essential to sustain the project in the longer term through a collective effort to shape the enabling environment and transition it towards a new circular model. This requires engagement by key local stakeholders, support of national experts on circular economy and the development of a collective roadmap.
“This is an exciting evolution in our Smart Cities Programme. Our vision to become the UK’s First Circular City will put Peterborough right at the front of smart city thinking, reinforcing our aspiration to make Peterborough a fantastic place to live and work.” The project is very ambitious. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. It will take time, and you must get started somewhere. “We are going to apply the Circular Economy concept at the city scale whilst creating the business conditions and collaborations to make this transition happen,” said Steve Bowyer, Chief Executive of Opportunity Peterborough.
Right now, a city-managed website called Brainwave Innovation, is working as an online tool where citizens, startups and academia discuss city challenges and propose solutions. Systems thinking is used for coming up with solutions. One idea found a way to revalue hessian coffee bags that the local Masteroast Coffee Company was discarding and that were ending up in a landfill. Masteroast asked the city for ideas and two entrepreneurs stepped in. “They built their company around the bags and trained local women to sew tablecloths and bags for life from the hessian. The fabric was also used to reduce river erosion and mud accumulation on roads, among other things,” Cecile Faraud commented, and went on to say, “We diverted one stream of waste to one stream of resource.”
Circular cities are hard to think about right now, but with experience, cities will learn to foster these systems, creating new unexpected business opportunities. A city that controls all its resources is more resilient as well. Living labs focusing on circular economy are creating the foundations for sustainable and resilient smart cities.

DESIGN CRITERIA CONCEPTION
Initial client consultations are guided by e-Pay’s ISO 9001:2008 Certified Engineering Process Document, covering over 70 key project points. This proprietary document methodically creates the design criteria framework for all aspects of the kiosk design; including target manufacturing budget, project schedule, component requirements, installation, and expandability.
This definition phase results in the Design Criteria Document that guides project members during the development process. This is a continuously evolving tool that Diginue uses to anticipate all design issues up front, and leverages the design nuances / experience gained on thousands of prior designs.
COMPONENT EVALUATION & MODELING
Diginue then procures required electronic components identified under the Design Criteria Document, bench testing each component with customer-specific software, ensuring full compatibility
Clients review the component specifications and document approval. Next, Diginue begins initial component layout modelling to include in the overall enclosure options.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN & RENDERINGS
Following approval of the component set, Diginue develops initial renderings and mechanical drawings to prove correct component placement and jointly create the client’s desired overall equipment aesthetics.
This is an iterative and interactive process where e-Pay’s Industrial and Mechanical Engineering team work closely with the customer’s design and project team members.
MECHANICAL DESIGN & REVIEW
Diginue advances the design to a complete set of mechanical drawings and computer generated renderings. A subsequent design review of the engineering drawings results in a checklist of changes.
As needed, Diginue revises the drawings and generates renderings with optimally arranged and modelled components for customer feedback / approval on concept and mechanical drawings of the kiosk.
Any modifications are closed to customer guidelines, resulting in a finalized and signed design.
AGENCY CERTIFICATION / PROTOTYPE BUILD
Post design review, Diginue does a “dry fit” test – assembling all prototype components into the enclosure. Upon approval; paint, artwork, and final assembly are completed for first article production. An extensive in-house prototype fabrication area enables Diginue to execute custom prototype delivery in just six to eight weeks from design approval. During prototype manufacturing, parallel progress is made on submitting all necessary UL, FCC and agency approval documents. This simultaneous activity enables UL certification to occur at the same time as prototype completion, accelerating time to market by as much as 12 – 16 weeks.
INSTALLATION & DEPLOYMENT
Following prototype delivery, Diginue has 200,000 square feet of dedicated manufacturing capacity poised to facilitate the steepest of production ramps.
Diginue’s manufacturing model can accommodate a wide volume spectrum – from very small production runs up to thousands of units per week. Both ends of the volume continuum are treated with equal care and expert attention.
Turnkey site survey, site preparation and installation services are readily available.

Formulating the perfect flavours
We explore the alchemy of taste to invent imaginative new drinks. Classico Negroni is our take on the famed Italian cocktail, while our quest for the perfect bloody mary led to Woltz’s, our horseradish vodka. Clients can ask us to create something entirely new to take to market, or formulate a unique flavour for a special edition of an existing product.
Global spirit brands also call on us to produce cocktails specifically designed to showcase how innovative or versatile their product can be. Yet we don’t restrict ourselves solely to drinks. We also use our extensive knowledge of taste and aroma to create everything from amaretto-infused brioche to delicately perfumed soaps.
Bar and drinks strategy
Creating the ideal experience
We use our expertise developed over years running renowned London bars to advise clients how to perfect their operation. Alongside individual drink creation, we focus on structuring menus that can consistently wow customers night after night, and train staff on all aspects of bar management and impeccable customer service.
Our collaboration with Heston Blumenthal involved creating a regularly refreshed list of 12 cocktails to complement his concept of historic British gastronomy at Melbourne’s Dinner. We used our unrivalled industry knowledge to source the most talented bartenders, then schooled them to the exceptional standards required for a two Michelin-star restaurant.
From inspired idea to flawless opening night
We can start with nothing more than a location with potential, then transform every detail of that empty space into an irresistible bar with a personality all its own. For those who dream of owning a venue and want us to turn that ambition into reality, we will design every inch, from bar layout, interiors and seating to the tiniest of subtle touches.
Our own Bar Termini in Soho is a Drink Factory creation, and we collaborated with Zetter Townhouse to style their two cocktail lounges. For the Clerkenwell Townhouse, we channelled the eccentricity of dotty great aunt Wilhelmina, with drinks inspired by old recipes for tinctures, bitters and herbal remedies. And for the Marylebone venue, we took things in another direction, creating the imagined ancestral home of wicked Uncle Seymour. Two distinct personalities for a perfectly balanced brand.

It's finally here! The 2017 Ridgeline has made its official debut at Honda East and boy, are we impressed. This truck shatters all preconceived notions you may have about trucks and really steps up the game. If you're wondering just how, we're about to tell you! Stay tuned as we overview this game changer of a truck – the 2017 Honda Ridgeline in Cincinnati!
A Phenomenal Truck Bed
Honda made a seemingly unchangeable detail of trucks the star feature. Think of it as a "smart bed" – "From off-road toys to 4’ x 8’ sheets of plywood, the bed of the Ridgeline was designed with minimal wheel well housings in order to maximize hauling capabilities." Simple enough, right? The actual tailgate itself if smart too, opening multi-way unlike traditional tailgates. You are able to open the truck bed like a door or like a regular tailgate. Honda has also invented a solution to the low-storage problem with the In-Bed Trunk® that allows you to store items securely in the 7.3 cubic feet space located in the bed, and lock it, too. It even comes equipped with a drain plug so you can use it as an ice chest! We could go on about the truck bed's other cool features like the Truck Bed Audio System, but we need to keep moving so let's talk about the interior.
The interior of the 2017 Honda Ridgeline has an available 8-inch display, push start button, one-touch power moonroof, Bluetooth connectivity, 4.2'' multi-information display, and a center console that's big enough for a 10-inch tablet, just to name a few. There's seating for up to five adults comfortably, but if you are only seating 2 or 3 people, the seats are 60/40 lift-up rear seats to make room for extra storage. For the couple that is constantly switching who drives, you'll love the memory seat that has driver memory settings for up to two people.
Beauty and Power
Just when you think this truck can't get any better, you find out about the power capabilities. The Ridgeline is available with front or all-wheel drive but is powered by a 3.5L 280 horsepower V6 engine. And for all of you truck lovers that like a good towing capacity, the Ridgeline can tow up to 5,000 hefty pounds backed up by the 262 lb-ft of torque.
Excited yet? We bet you are! This one-of-a-kind Honda truck is available at Honda East and just waiting for you to take it out for a spin. Come on over and test drive the 2017 Honda Ridgeline in Cincinnati today!

The Buchholz relay was developed in 1921 by Max Buchholz, Oberrat (senior councillor) at Preußische Elektrizitäts-A.G. (Prussian electricity company) in Kassel. Since that time it has been an important protection and monitoring device for insulating liquid filled transformers with conservator and choke coils. It also allows separate monitoring of oil-filled bushings or cable terminal boxes. It is mounted in the cooling cycle of the device to be protected and responds to faults such as gas generation, loss of as well as high flow rates of the insulating liquid.
For transformers with hermetical closure by means of a hydro-type compensator (rubber sack) in the conservator, the Buchholz relay can be used also as monitoring device (air cell failure relay) of the hydro-type compensator.
The Buchholz relay is suitable for open-air as well as indoor installations.
The type diversity of the Buchholz relay is tailored to norms and standards as well as to special customer demands. The type of relay to be used depends on the nominal rating and construction features of the device to be protected. Our range of products permits optimum adaptation to actual requirements.
Elektromotoren und Gerätebau GmbH (EMB GmbH) provides more than 70 years experience in producing Buchholz relays and other protective devices for liquid-cooled and liquid-insulated devices. It ranks today among the most distinguished manufacturers of this type of equipment.
EMB Buchholz relays are in compliance with EN 50216-2 as well as IEC 60076-22-1 and are known for their easy operation, high reliability and extremely long life. The functionality of the EMB Buchholz relays is given by using all conventional insulating liquids. The functionality in combination with new insulating fluids will be tested in close cooperation with the manufacturers.
EMB has been certified according to: DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, AEO F, Known Consignor (Airfreight Security) and EAC. Further certifications have been awarded by well-known independent test laboratories such as TÜV Rheinland and TZO.
The casing is made of weather-resistant cast aluminium alloy provided with a paint coating. It is supplied either with flanged (Fig. 1/ Number 1) or threaded connection (Fig. 2/ No.2). The different casing designs available are shown in Single-Float Buchholz Relays and Double-Float Buchholz Relays. Others are available on request.
To check the switching system for proper function, the casing is provided with sightglasses (Fig. 2/ No. 3). The sightglasses provided with scales permit reading of collected gas volume. The relays can be provided with hinged lids (Fig. 1/ No.4) to protect the sightglasses.
The cover is made of weather-resistant cast aluminium alloy provided with a paint coating. The upper section of the cover accommodates the terminal box (Fig. 3/ No. 1). In front of the terminal box are arranged the bleeding valve (Fig. 3/ No. 2) and the test key covered by a cap nut (Fig. 3/ No. 3) as well as a plate (Fig. 3/ No. 4) with instructions for actuating the test key. The terminal box accommodates the earth terminal (Fig. 3/ No. 5) and bushings (Fig. 3/ No. 6) for the terminals provided in the base of the cover. The number of these bushings determines the design of the switching systems in terms of type and quantity of the magnet contact tubes.
The terminal box is sealed by an cap (Fig. 3/ No. 7) so that it is safe to touch and protected against pollution. If the cap is opened instructions for installation (Fig. 3/ No. 8) are shown e.g. the graphic symbol and the connection diagram. The cable can be inserted through the cable gland (Fig. 3/ No. 9).
The Buchholz relay is used for the protection and monitoring of insulated liquid-filled transformers with expansion tank and earth leakage coils. It is installed in the cooling circuit of the unit to be protected and reacts to faults such as gas formation, loss as well as excessive flow of the insulating liquid with a warning or disconnection signal. This prevents devastating damage to the transformer or even its destruction.
The Buchholz relay is installed in the pipe between the tank of the device to be protected (transformer, reactor) and the conservator. During normal operation it is filled completely with insulating liquid.
Due to buoyancy the float of the single-float relay and both floats of the double-float relay are at their top position.
The upper and lower switching systems form a functional unit in the single-float Buchholz relay so that in the event of a fault the transformer is immediately disconnected from the power system.
In the following the function of a Buchholz relay is explained using the example of a double-float Buchholz relay. If a fault occurs inside the transformer, the Buchholz relay responds as follows:
Fault:Free gas is available in the insulating liquid.
Response: The gas in the liquid moves upwards, accumulates in the Buchholz relay and displaces the insulating liquid level. As the liquid level falls, the upper float moves downwards. The moving float actuates a switch contact (magnet contact tube). An alarm signal is tripped. The lower float is not affected as from a certain gas volume the gas flows through a piping to the conservator.
Fault: Insulating liquid loss due to leakage.
Response: As the liquid level falls, the conservator, piping and Buchholz relay are emptied. First, the top float lowers and causes an alarm signal. When now the loss of liquid continues, the lower float sinks and actuates a switch contact so that the transformer is shut down.
Fault: A spontaneous incident generates a pressure wave moving in the direction of the conservator.
Response: The liquid flow reaches the damper arranged in the liquid flow. If the flow rate exceeds the operating value of the damper, the latter moves in flow direction. Due to this movement a switch contact is actuated so that the transformer is disconnected. After release of the pressure wave the lower switching system returns to its starting position.
Buchholz relays manufactured by EMB are equipped with a damper held by a permanent magnet.

Wa Lolita is a Lolita style that incorporates traditional Japanese clothing elements whilst still keeping the Lolita silhouette. The origin of the prefix 'Wa' in Wa Lolita is the kanji Wa (和), which is used to denote many things of Japanese origin.
It is sometimes mistaken for Qi Lolita, as they both have origins and inspirations from Eastern countries.
Wa Lolita dresses commonly consist of a stylized Kimono that is intended to be worn over a petticoat. Another way form of Wa Lolita is to have a otherwise normal Lolita dress made with traditional Japanese fabrics.
The shoes and accessories used in this style may sometimes be traditional Japanese garb including kanzashi flowers and geta.
This style is not recommended for those starting in Lolita as is hard to pull off and limits the range of coordinations you can make with its elements.

In a similar way, clear labels or stickers are useful when companies have packaging that are expected to change often, because your stickers will be able to go with everything.
Clear stickers allow the product to be seen
The best-selling point for an item can sometimes be the appearance of the item itself. When consumers are able to see the product, they tend to trust the product more. Also, if the item looks great, there is really no reason to cover them up with labels. For example, a cupcake that looks really good should be made visible to the consumer.
Clear stickers work really well with food, snacks and drinks. But they can also be beneficial for body and bath products, as well as cosmetics, as consumers want to see what they are getting. Clear stickers allow brands to put their mark on the product without the label getting in the way of the overall look.
Clear stickers make good marketing tools
You don’t have to use clear stickers as product labels only. They are actually extremely useful and effective marketing tools too! Stick them on your envelopes for a quick way to personalise your letters. When sending out promotional mailings, you can also use a clear sticker to seal the envelope to give it a bit of that ‘branded’ touch.
You can even hand out clear stickers to your customers, so that they can become advocates of your brand! Recent studies by Nielsen show that 90% of people trust word-of-mouth recommendations from people they know. These stickers will allow your loyal customers to show their approval and advocate your brand without much effort on their part – all they have to do is apply the sticker on to something they own, and you have a walking, talking testimonial.

There are many kinds of buildings, and relying upon the district of the world, the reason for the construction, and cost parameters, you may discover structures made in various ways. If you wish to construct a house in the wilderness, odds are you will utilize nearby parts, for example, wood and plants. In Europe, there is a considerable measure of stone available and conventional constructions have vigorously depended on it. In America, wood and metal have been for the most part utilized.
With regards to business buildings notwithstanding, milder material like wood is usually not used, because you need something that will keep going quite a while. So the greater part of our current urban areas is manufactured either with solid, metal, or both. Commonly, steel is utilized just in a controlled manner, regularly as bolster poles, within the solid building. However, there’s an ever-increasing number of constructions that use metal as the principle part, utilizing both harder segments like stainless steel, alongside gentler ones like aluminum for the outside covering. There are a lot of reasons why you would need to run with a metal building and a few worries that you have to remember. Here are a few things you might need to think about the subject.
The fundamental advantage of metal is a strength. At the point when contrasted and some other material out there, the metal will last more and be more grounded. A wooden building is modest. However, it is not robust and can be inclined to various issues, for example, steady winds from sea tempests, corruption with age, water penetrations, et cetera. Notwithstanding when contrasted and other solid materials like solid, Steel winds up being more sturdy because while it is solid, it is likewise more adaptable. As a decent illustration, on the off chance that you take a gander at districts which were influenced by typhoons like on account of Katrina, steel buildings were the structures that remained standing.
The purpose of this quality is in the parts that make up the structure of metal composites. You can find more resources here at www.allbldg.com. The molecules in particles utilized are substantially nearer together, making a considerably denser structure. They make precious stone structures, which makes them more impervious to warm and more grounded. There are additionally different advantages over various sorts of constructions. Metal is completely impervious to creepy crawlies, they manage warmth and frosty much superior to various buildings, the construction procedure has less waste, and the upkeep is usually lower than with numerous other construction types.
Despite the fact that wooden buildings are less expensive given the wealth of woodlands, this is gradually changing as our trees wind up plainly tenuous. Also, a wooden building requires a great deal of extra care since wood is so substantially weaker. At last, throughout an existence time, a metal building winds up being more practical. This is valid for large constructions. However an indistinguishable applies for little structures from well. If you are pondering making a capacity working in your terrace, you might be enticed to fabricate it utilizing wooden boards since it appears to be more affordable than building a metal building, yet you need to consider what occurs not far off. Your metal structure will last more, be safer, and require a lower upkeep cost.
Always remember that the end goal to construct these buildings, you may likewise discover that they are simpler to deal with. Regularly, pre-assembled structures are sold, and all you have to do is jolt them together. On the off chance that you go the premade course, then it truly is a breeze to manage metal constructions. You additionally have a decision on the sort of metal you will utilize. There are distinctive costs and different qualities. Metal buildings can be discovered wherever from holy places to production lines, shops, stockpiling territories, office buildings, and local foundations. Full high rises are likewise made of this material.
Since pre-assembled metal structures are ending up noticeably so prevalent, they are likewise significantly more adaptable. You can regularly organize them the way you need, and years not far off you can change their plan. With wood, that would require a ton of work, including conceivably trading a few boards for new ones of the correct size. Furthermore, metal runs well with solid so that you can have a stable, solid floor alongside metal dividers and roof. Indeed, even years not far off, your construction will, in any case, look current and be durable.
At that point, there is the whole security contention. Unless you live in the ideal neighborhood, then there is a hazard for burglary. Fire is additionally dependable a potential issue. With a wooden building, you have a higher risk. In any case, steel is stable to the point that it includes a noteworthy layer of security. Your steel building won’t torch unless temperatures turn out to be extraordinarily high, and no hoodlum will be ready to make a gap in the divider to get in, similar to they could with weaker material.
Obviously, this isn’t to imply that there is no support by any means. You ought to take care to apply without rust paint on your steel or utilize an aluminum wrap up. However, there is no doubt that the long time money related advantages of metal buildings are evident, and if you take a gander at all of the advantages, this is a choice you ought to thoroughly consider for your next construction project.

I was invited by an awesome art teacher at Harborside Academy in Kenosha WI to help with a mud stencils instillation, and lecture on my work. The students made mud stencils of their own to post at a nearby technical college.
Thanks to Harberside, Keep Kenosha Beautiful Committee, Gateway technical college, and the talented and environmentally conscious students that made stencils. I saw some great designs and heard a lot of intelligent and environmentally aware things being said during our discussion.

The anchor point is where all layer transformations originate. Most layers have the anchor point at their center by default. You can move the anchor point in the preview panel with the Y Pan Behind tool or with the transformation controls revealed with A. The transformation controls do not automatically apply the anchor point offset to the Position property, so the layer will move. The pan behind tool moves the layer and anchor point the same amount, keeping the layer where it is. After you change the anchor point location, try changing the Scale or Rotation to see exactly how the anchor point works.
Null layers or null objects are layers that exist. And that's all they do. Null layers do not render anything, they're mostly used as expression controllers or parents. So when you need a layer but don't want it to affect anything in your composition. You can create a null with ctrl + alt + shift + Y or from the application menu Layer > New > Null Object
Parenting is a way to hierarchically control layers. All transforms of the parent layer apply to of its child layers. Parenting is often used to "attach" layers to others and to transform multiple layers in a uniform way.
To parent a layer, select it and drag the layer pickwhip icon to the parent layer. A parent layer can have multiple children but a layer can only have one parent. Parent layers can be the child of another layer.
Parents act as the anchor point of the entire parent - children group. If you rotate the parent, all of it's children will rotate around it, the same way they would if their anchor point was at the parents location. Child layers still have their own transformations, anchor point included, which can be used to position the child layers relative to the parent (or inside the group, if that makes more sense).

Understanding PLC Optical Splitters: How They Work and Their Applications
PLC optical splitters, also known as planar lightwave circuit splitters, are a key component in modern fiber optic networks. They enable the distribution of optical signals from one input fiber to multiple output fibers, allowing a single signal to be split and distributed to multiple devices. In this article, we will discuss how PLC optical splitters work and their applications in fiber optic networks.
How PLC Optical Splitters Work
PLC optical splitters are based on planar lightwave circuit technology, which uses a silica-based waveguide to split the optical signal. The waveguide is etched onto a thin film, which is then integrated into a chip. The chip contains several waveguides, each of which is designed to split the optical signal into multiple outputs.
When the optical signal enters the splitter, it is split evenly across the output fibers. The splitter can be designed to split the signal into a variety of configurations, such as 1×2, 1×4, 1×8, and 1×16, depending on the number of output fibers required. The optical signal is split without any loss in quality, enabling multiple devices to receive the same signal without degradation.
Applications of PLC Optical Splitters
PLC optical splitters are widely used in fiber optic networks, particularly in passive optical networks (PONs). PONs use a single optical fiber to serve multiple subscribers, and PLC splitters are used to distribute the signal to each subscriber. This enables service providers to offer high-speed internet, television, and telephone services to multiple subscribers using a single fiber.
PLC splitters are also used in data center networks to enable the distribution of optical signals from a single fiber to multiple devices. This allows for efficient use of resources and can simplify the network architecture, reducing the complexity of cabling and improving reliability.

PLC splitters are widely used in passive optical networks and data center networks, enabling efficient use of resources and simplifying the network architecture. By understanding how PLC optical splitters work and their applications, organizations can take advantage of this important technology to build reliable and high-performance fiber optic networks.

Fashion trends come and go each season, but vintage dresses withstand the test of time. This style of clothing first became popular after a large number of celebrities started wearing vintage styled dresses and other clothing items. Vintage dresses in particular have become increasingly popular with fashion lovers all over the world.
The Appeal of A Vintage Dress
A vintage dress may be appealing for a number of reasons. The wearer may enjoy the fabric or the pattern used on the fabric. However, in most cases, women choose to wear vintage dresses because they flatter their figure. Elegant silhouettes have definitely withstood the test of time and are still wildly popular today. Vintage dresses are:
- Figure flattering
- Include delicate fabrics
- Are easy to wear
What Is Considered Vintage?
Generally speaking, a dress that is more than 20 years old is considered a vintage dress. Anything that is older than 100 years is considered antique. Throughout the 20th century, there have been many fashion trends that provide us now with a plethora of choices when shopping for vintage clothing. Trends often reflected economic times and trends in the local culture. Each decade offered its own distinctive trends, including colors, silhouettes, cuts, fabrics and patterns used.

The Cadogan Hotel
Built in 1887 in the Queen Anne style, the Sloane Street property was once home to British-American socialite Lillie Langtry and was also the location for the arrest of playwright Oscar Wilde in 1895.
After a four-year, £39 million renovation, the Belmond Cadogan reopened its doors.
Burgess were delighted to have been able to assist Beck Interiors in the delivery of this super luxury hotel between Knightsbridge and Chelsea.
The Cadogan Hotel sits centrally on Sloane Street, at number 73 – 75. A grand Victorian red-brick building, it reopened after a multi-million redevelopment and restoration to create a stunning 5* hotel and restaurant – managed by Belmond – while retaining its significant character and charm.
The team preserved the period details throughout the property and used them for inspiration. “The hotel’s residential entrance at 21 Pont Street, previously the front door to Lillie Langtry’s townhouse, features the original floral mosaic floor design and 130 year-old wooden panelling,” says Klaus Kabelitz, general manager at Belmond Cadogan. “The designers were so taken with Lillie’s floral motif that it was copied throughout the bar and dining room.”
54 rooms including 22 suites with working fireplaces, in-room libraries, freestanding baths with champagne and book holders
Sectional completion and occupation
Soft landings and training with the hotel facilities team
Modern communications and technology behind a classic facade
Gym and spa facilities
Commercial kitchens, fine dining restaurants.
Concierge and integrated room booking systems
54 rooms / 22 suite guest bedrooms
Iconic Luxury Hotel
Project Challenges and Characteristics
Burgess were appointed as the overall project commissioning managers for the project which included the validation of all MEPH system commissioning.
The hotel had a wide variety of different layout and styled guest rooms which meant that each room and suite needed to be treated individually when planning and completing the commissioning process, our involvement in the review of the services designer’s information at an early stage facilitated in the overall successful commissioning and handover of the project.
Our staged approach to design reviews, site inspections in the construction phase and throughout the commissioning process meant that any issues were picked up at the correct stage of the project, this was important as the architect’s design intent was for a high-end finish with limited access to MEPH systems, this meant that many systems had only ‘destructive access’ enforcing the need for planned sectional testing and commissioning of MEPH systems.
The hotel was completed in two phases with early occupation of the hotel in the first phased handover. Where A single fire alarm system protects the entire hotel a number of cause-and-effect tests had to be conducted to assimilate each completed section into the hotel building as a whole and final commissioning of hotel common MEPH systems successfully planned and integrated with minimal disruption for the hotel business or guests.
Additional challenges included
· Early handover of the hotel floors up to level 4.
· Completion and handover of levels 5 and 6 while the hotel was occupied.
· Sectional black building and integrated system testing during building occupation.
· Final building BBT and IST.

The World of Colour, Texture & Design
How to choose a colour
Choosing paint colors is an integral part of interior design as paint and decor go hand-in-hand. Paint colour matching can be difficult, and many factors determine what the paint colours you chose will look like once painted. Take the following into account:
- The Dulux Visualizer app is a clever tool that can help you see your rooms in a specific colour. With the app you can see realistic Dulux paint colours appear on your walls. It gives you a choice of colour schemes to go with your chosen paint colours or existing furnishings.
- Which colours do you like - softer, more pastel colours, or primary colours, perhaps colours that will make a big statement?
- The relative size of the room. For example, darker colours can make a small room look even smaller.
- The extent of natural sunlight in the room. Light changes colour considerably. Take into account where and when sunlight will be in the room. Less light can make darker colours look darker, and more light can make lighter colours appear too light. Also remember that colour appears different in natural light vs artificial light.
- Take the function of the room into account. For example, is it a bedroom, a playroom for small children, a study or a bathroom?
- Take into account how the room will be or is already decorated. Which other colours are furniture, curtains, carpets, tiles etc? Also take into account other existing or new design elements that you want to bring into the room.
- Narrow down your options to 3 or 4 colours and get sample paint for each. Sometimes you can get 250ml samples, otherwise 1litre may be the smallest quantity available. Nevertheless, its more economical to be absolutely sure about a colour before investing in a couple of liters of paint.
- Paint the samples in different places in the room. Make the squares big enough to be able to see them against the rest of the room. Be sure to give your square samples a couple of layers so that the existing wall colour does not show through. Look at the samples at different times during the day to take different light conditions into account.
- Remember that there are often differences between what a colour looks like as a small colour swatch vs when its painted on a wall. Similarly, wall texture influences how the colour will appear (e.g. is the wall smooth, or more roughly plastered?), as well as the specific paint finish that you choose, e.g. matt, satin, gloss etc.
Autumn colour pallet
We are in autumn, a time of chill in the air, falling leaves and the world getting ready for winter. Be inspired by these autumn colours:

Self-cleaning quench oil filter is the key inlet oil filter in petrochemical cracking unit with design flow 500-3000m3/h, design temperature 340°C and design pressure 0.6-3.0 MPa. The filtration accuracy can reach 150μm-5mm and can be operated continuously, while self-cleaning and dry residue can be realized during the operation.
Due to the high concentration of particle content of viscous quench oil entering the filter, automatic filter cake removal without stopping is very necessary. Our design, the automatic filter cake removal is activated when the pressure drop reaches 0.05MPa, or the normally open for continuous cake removal, and dry coke or semi-dry and semi-wet coke discharge could realized. It is convenient, reliable, low maintenance, non-clogging, and in compliance with HSE standards.

Setting Ribbon Properties
The Ribbon extensibility model is a bit unusual. There is no opportunity to set the 'label' or 'image' property of the button after it is created, but there are 'getLabel' and 'getImage' callbacks that you can set up.
To get Excel to refresh your control (or the whole Ribbon extension) you need to set an onLoad callback (on the customUI element) which receives an IRibbonUI interface for you to keep. This interface has two methods - Invalidate and InvalidateControl - which
you call when a control should be refreshed.
ExcelDna can helps with the implementation of the getImage callback - call the ExcelRibbon.LoadImage method (probably as base.LoadImage(imageId) in your code) with the imageId of the picture you want to show - this way you can load the images you specify in
the .dna file.
I suggest the following references:
Articles on MSDN:
Some Excel 2010 info:
Also note that a ribbon designed in VSTO can be exported to xml, which gives a <customUI ...> tag that can be used directly in Excel-DNA, though the ribbon handlers have to be re-implemented.

Pumps in operation in industry, agriculture and municipalities ensure that water reaches the consumers. Households around the world need drinking water every day. If the available water pressure is not sufficient, for example on the top floors of tall buildings, the solution is pressure boosting. KSB pumps make sure that water flows right up to the top of the building, even in skyscrapers.
In addition to commercial units, the Thang Long Number One building complex includes over 1,000 apartments. The new buildings feature a green architectural design and are based on the principle of smart living. The centrepiece of the complex comprises two 40-storey skyscrapers with 200,000 square metres of floor space. They are among the tallest buildings in the Vietnamese capital. Transporting water to this height requires serious pumping power – which KSB pumps routinely deliver. Pump sets with low noise emissions and outstanding efficiencies are in operation here in Hanoi. Thanks to their vertical design, they have a small footprint, leaving more space for comfortable modern living.
Vertically installed Movitec VCF pumps ensure that sufficient drinking water is available even on the top floors of skyscrapers.

Lester B. Pearson Garden for Peace and Understanding
The Lester B. Pearson Garden for Peace and Understanding, designed by noted landscape architect Paul Ehnes, provides an oasis of tranquillity commemorating Pearson's life, work, and contribution to world peace. It is a quiet but eloquent statement of peace and understanding and a representation of what Pearson, Canada's only recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, believed to be the mission of the university.
From a veil of rapidly flowing water to pearls of mist, this garden uses water in all of its states to illustrate the process of education, which is essential for peace. As you enter this peaceful space, your attention is first drawn to the waterfall, which symbolizes the troubled state of humankind. The water cascades down to a pool whose calm surface reflects the sky, higher thoughts and the inspiration we all require to pursue a course of higher education, of thought and maturation which are prerequisites of peace. Students are able to look out on the waterfall and garden from the Mary Mounfield student lounge in the Pratt Library.
The Lester B. Pearson Garden for Peace and Understanding was created to honour one of Victoria University's most distinguished graduates, former Prime Minister of Canada, Chancellor of our University, and former Don of the men’s residences- Lester Bowles Pearson, Vic 1T9. The garden was created to recognize the gifts made to Victoria University during its Campaign for the Dedicated Mind. Donors have their names inscribed on the rail over looking the garden. The garden is already being acknowledged as one of the most distinctive commemorative sites of its kind anywhere.

If you are handy and want to tackle a home renovation project yourself, or if you simply want to know who the best person is to hire for your contracting work, get information about what type of swimming pool enclosure you want to install in your yard. There is a variety of styles to choose from, so assess your budget and space and go about preparing for this project.
Steps to Take
1. Think about the features you want to include in your enclosure and make a list of them, then browse online for what styles are available and how easy they are to do it yourself. You need to decide if you want an enclosure to simply cover all or part of the pool or a large space that you can make use of around the pool.
You can choose an enclosure that includes seating, a roof or sliding doors among other things, and a dehumidifier is recommended to make your enclosure last longer.
2. Consider your budget. Your pool enclosure could cost anywhere from $500-10,000 depending on the details and features you want to add, so once you know what you can afford, you can determine which elements from your wish list you can include.
3. Measure the width and length of your swimming pool to have an idea of how big your enclosure will be, and leave space on each side for a buffer area. You will also need to measure the height if you have a slide or a diving board.
4. When shopping around for kits, get free estimates from a variety of places and find out if a swimming pool enclosure builder is included in the price or if the installation is extra.
Types of Enclosures
Doing your research to determine your budget requires you to have a bit of exposure to different types of enclosures available to you. Here are some of the common ones:
1. Screen – a screen enclosure is one of your cheapest options, and you can get it with different roofing options, like gable, peak or flat. It covers your pool but doesn’t provide a lot of privacy or protection.
2. Canvas – this option is not necessarily the most attractive, but it will preserve heating and allow you to use your pool longer in the season.
3. Glass – A glass or polycarbonate enclosure can be chosen for the entire pool or half of it, and it adds elegance to your landscaping. You can get the enclosure shaped like domes and even add a sunroof if you desire to get air and light in.
4. Conservatories – if your pool enclosure is meant to not only cover and protect your pool but also be a fully functional pool house, you want to choose conservatories. These buildings are covers for your pool that span from 7-10 feet high and have space inside for lounging, changing cabins and other essentials. They are very large and pricey though, so get estimates to determine if this is in your budget.
A Calabasas pool remodeling can serve many functions, so you must first evaluate your needs and budget to see the style that fits you. Choosing the right one will add to the longevity of your pool and the beauty of your landscape, so do your research.

We are Kaja and Zoë Foat. Owners of FOAT design. Every FOAT garment has a story to tell. Each piece begins as an idea, inspired by the unique fabrics and materials we source and salvage from sustainable suppliers and vintage shops. We develop new designs almost weekly, based on the new materials we discover, to create very limited edition runs, each with a history and story all its own. All of our production work is then completed by hand—drawing, cutting, assembling and sewing every garment in studio.

I showed a picture in the previous post of a tabletop I had just begun to draw a mandala on with paint pens.
Now I’ve finally finished the design.
My inspiration for the mandala came from this lovely one I found on Pinterest.
I’m sure you will notice that I took some artistic license with it.
I’ll add this to my little bathing retreat in the main level bathroom and I think that I have got the perfect idea for what to add to the walls. More on that later!

You've likely seen these LED lights cropping up in matcha-obsessed coffee shops and über-trendy boutiques. Even their electric hum-buzz has somehow become an acceptable part of our white-noise symphony, which already includes silent push notifications from our vibrating phones and click-clacks from our type-happy fingertips.
Move over sad desk lamps. It is the age of neon signs.
They have made quite the impression on commercial interior design. With the seemingly boundless number of color-ways and designs one can dream up, neon signs can fit in with the grooviest of modern aesthetics. The limit does not exist with neon lights.
The signs satiate our desire for pops of color amidst our other current infatuation: minimal, monochromatic decor. It also touches on our norm-core predilections. As millennials, we love to tackle the tacky and reimagine it in ways that fit our 21st-century vision. Seen as retro by others, but fawned over as on-trend by the cool set.
Neon-light mania has seeped over into home-decor trends as well. That's right. You, too, can be the proud owner of a neon light set. Flick it on your kitchen wall or hang it over your bed. Either way, you'll be rocking it with the best of them.
However you decide to tap into the neon-light movement, be sure to remember design's cardinal rule: moderation is key. Lest you'd like your space to resemble the Las Vegas strip 😉

Common Questions About Starting A Mobile Website For New Business
- What does a mobile website look like?
- How is a mobile website different than a regular website?
- Should I choose an app or a mobile website, when I start website for new business?
RESPONSIVE DESIGN FOR MOBILE WEBSITE
If you have a newer type of website, especially Wordpress, then you will have access to what is called "responsive design". This means that even if the website is not called a "mobile website", it will change itself if the person is using a mobile phone or device to visit your site.
MOBILE WEBSITE VS. RESPONSIVE MOBILE DESIGN
Some websites are built exclusively for use on mobile phones and devices. This means that if a regular visitor is using a PC to visit your mobile website, it will look a bit strange to them.
However, if you build a website that has a responsive design, when a mobile visitor comes to your site it looks great for them and when a regular pc user visits your site, it still looks great for them, too.
MOBILE APP VS. MOBILE WEBSITE
If you, your team or a consultant creates a mobile app for your business, it is a completely separate type of software than what you have if you design a mobile website. Sometimes mobile apps are built and sold or shared through app stores (i.e., iTunes or Android). Some mobile apps are built and installed as stand-alone websites. Some mobile apps can also be embedded into your existing website or a webpage that is a subdomain of your existing website.
HOW TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF MOBILE IS BEST TO START WEBSITE FOR NEW BUSINESS
After you have created your business plan with a corresponding marketing plan, you will have a better understanding of your new business needs. Use your plan to help you make the best choices that fit your business needs, budget and target audience the best.
CAN YOU CONSULT WITH ME TO HELP FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO FOR MOBILE WEBSITE?

With quad-core cpus and also premium graphics, the brand-new iMac is the fastest and also most effective iMac until currently. The brand-new fastest ever before Apple iMac includes high-performance graphics that make video games run smoother, tons pictures quicker, as well as make applications function much better. If you desire also much faster graphics, there is additionally a choice to select an iMac with an advanced ATI graphics cpu.
This is why I produced the iMac VESA Mount Adapter to retrofit to the stand of the iMac utilizing the cable television opening on the back. By doing this, there is no demand to open up or customize your iMac computer system. It is extremely basic to make use of, connecting as well as removing promptly so you can conveniently relocate your computer system to an additional location, or take it with you on your trips. Additionally, lots of consumers share that they like not to eliminate the stand since they bought the iMac as a mobile system.
The 21.5-inch as well as 27-inch iMac sell imac designs use quick Intel Core 2 Duo cpus as much as 3.33 GHz. The 27-inch iMac functions Quad-core power with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 cpu or 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 cpu. The brand-new iMac has 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 memory criterion, with space in its 4 SO-DIMM ports for as much as 16GB, so you can run extra applications at the very same time. And also with a Serial ATA disk drive as much as 2TB, do not hesitate to build up even more images, video clips, and also songs.
The complication is since Apple at once did supply an optional VESA adapter set with comparable iMac versions. The earlier iMac G5 designs that might be made VESA certified with adapter sets by Apple were: 2 designs with 20-inch screens– the iMac G5/1.8 20-Inch as well as G5/2.0 20-Inch, as well as 3 designs with 17-inch display screens– the iMac G5/1.6 17-Inch, G5/1.8 17-Inch, as well as G5/2.0 17-Inch.
The capability to install the iMac computer system to a wall surface or any kind of placing system needs that the iMac have a VESA certified user interface to affix to the tool. For the dimension as well as the weight of the iMac, it is recommended that this user interface provide the 100 x 100mm opening pattern for add-on. Moreover, to continue to be market basic these openings must make use of 4mm screw bolts.
Additional examination reveled there are numerous iMac individuals looking for the exact same VESA adapter remedy, however without dominate. It emerged that in order to fit the customer’s requirements, I would certainly require to produce a iMac VESA install adapter package from the ground up. In reviewing the adapter set job with the customer and also individuals I had actually talked to online, a couple of needs for the iMac place adapter were shown.
Share this write-up on FacebookShare this post on TwitterShare this short article on LinkedinShare this post on RedditShare this post on PinterestExpert Writer Stephen Dingwall
The brand-new Apple iMac 21.5-inch, 1920-by-1080 screen has 17 percent extra pixels than the previous 20-inch iMac. The brand-new Apple iMac 27-inch, 2560-by-1440 display screen includes a monstrous 78 percent much more pixels than the 21.5-inch Apple iMac desktop. And also what’s even more, a 1000:1 comparison proportion guarantees you a lot more dynamic shades and also blacker blacks; all that in a widescreen screen with a 16:9 element proportion – the like an HD TELEVISION.
For individuals that might not know with the term “VESA certified”, VESA represents “Video clip Electronic Devices Specifications Organization”. The usual interpretation when describing LCD and also Apartment Panel keeps track of is: “VESA criterion” implies an opening pattern on the back of the screen; 75 mm x 75 mm or 100 mm x 100 mm (approx. 3″ x 3″ and also 4″ x 4″ specifically). The size of the screws made use of to install screens with VESA installing is 4 mm. The install openings on the back of LCD screens might be focused or situated in the direction of the lower stand. With particular screens you might need to get rid of the stand or a cover plate prior to you can access the install openings. If you want even more extensive details regarding VESA criteria, the VESA.org web site additionally supplies recaps of the company’s screen placing criteria.
When it come to iMac versions used after these pre-iSight versions, just the 24″ iMac computer systems have actually had VESA adapter sets readily available from Apple. The 17″ as well as 20″ iMacs were left having no VESA brace set alternative and also even more notably, no very easy technique for getting rid of the stand. Due to this, and also the reality that many people that acquired the 17″ as well as 20″ iMac as a “mobile” computer system, it made good sense to establish a VESA adapter package for the iMac that would not need the stand to be eliminated or any kind of alteration to be made to the iMac computer system. This VESA adapter set offers the most effective of both globes throughout customer as it permits them the capability to connect their iMac to a VESA placing system and also install their iMac the means they want to i.e., over a job surface area, wall surface, cooking area closet, and so on. And also, when they determine to briefly relocate their iMac to a various place, or take it with them when they take a trip, the iMac prepares to opt for a couple of turns of the screw setting up.
The 17-Inch and also 20-Inch iMac designs from the “White” collection iMac Core 2 Duo have the exact same real estate and also stand as the initial Intel powered iMac Core Duo collection, and also these designs are VESA non-compliant also. The brand-new 20-Inch “Light weight aluminum” iMac Core 2 Duo designs additionally are not VESA certified.
The components are made in state-of-the-art, airplane light weight aluminum steel as well as a sturdy anodize coating is put on the adapter brace. I desired the adapter set to be ideal for the classy iMac, to appear like a component of the computer system. The set gives the appropriate user interface to connect the iMac to a VESA-compliant installing systems having the 100 x 100mm (4″ x 4″) opening pattern.
If you are looking for a VESA adapter package to install your iMac 17″ or iMac 20″, consisting of the brand-new Light weight aluminum iMac 20″, to a wall surface place system, verbalizing arm or any kind of installing system, your search mores than. For additional information concerning the iMac VESA Adapter Set for 17″ and also 20″ iMac we supply, please see our web site.
The iMac all-in-one computer system was developed to be a mobile system, just like a laptop enabling individuals to transfer in their office or home, or take it with them on their trips. The alternative for eliminating the stand (foot) as well as changing it with a VESA brace user interface was not consisted of with specific iMac versions consisting of: 2009 iMac 21.5 inch, Intel light weight aluminum iMac 20 inch, Intel iMac 17 as well as 20 inch “white” versions, iMac G5 w/iSight 17 and also 20 inch, iMac G5 (2006 and also later on) 17 as well as 20 inch.
As validated by Apple’s Assistance Website: “No VESA Mount Adapter Package” for the iMac Intel “Core Duo” and also iMac G5 “iSight”, making these iMac designs VESA non-compliant. And also, “while comparable in kind to previous iMac G5 designs, these designs are not suitable with Apple’s iMac G5 VESA Mount Adapter Package.”
The brand-new iMac is quicker at importing images as well as doing standard editing and enhancing jobs such as red-eye elimination and also to remove tiny imperfections in iPhoto. If you’re a picture fanatic that likes the power and also accuracy of even more expert applications, the 2.8 GHz quad-core iMac offers you approximately 2x quicker efficiency with Aperture.
Currently, Apple has actually presented their brand-new Intel based light weight aluminum iMac all-in-one computer systems. They have actually terminated the 20″ and also 24″ designs and also currently provide a 21.5″ as well as 27″. I have had the satisfaction of seeing the brand-new iMacs as well as have to state that Apple has actually once more developed something stunning. Similar to the previous 24″ iMac, the brand-new 27″ version does have a VESA place adapter package offered from Apple. Yet the even more preferred 21.5″ design has a stand that was not created to be gotten rid of as well as any kind of effort to do so might cause invalidating its guarantee.
Recently, a customer wished to have their iMac computer systems placed to the wall surface to conserve job area and also it was thought that there was a VESA adapter brace readily available from Apple. When it came time to acquire the VESA adapter packages, we found these sets were either stopped or otherwise provided whatsoever. Locating the essential arm installs and also wall surface install gadgets was basic, however connecting the iMac computer systems to those placing systems was a brand-new difficulty.

Top Remote Control Planes For Beginners Comparison Chart
Hobbyzone Sport Club
This plane is a great choice for beginners due to its durable design, flight maneuverability and built-in SAFE technology. However, the lightweight design also prevents users from flying on windy days.
A plane that looks as good as it flies, this model is super fun to fly and can handle a wider range of weather conditions. The floats and traditional landing gear also increase this plane’s flying versatility.
Dromida Twin Explorer
A twin explorer remote controlled plane that is perfect for beginners.
1. Hobbyzone Sport Cub S RTF RC Airplane Review- Best Beginner RC Plane
The Hobbyzone Sport Cub is a ready to fly model. It features a panic recovery mode, a four channel control with working aileron, elevator, rudder, and throttle, and a steerable tail wheel that offers improved ground control. This is a fairly small plane, with a wingspan that measures only twenty-four inches. This allows you to fly the plane in much smaller areas, which is a huge plus for most consumers.
The plane itself is made from a durable foam and it features a flight weight of just a little over two ounces.
This is a plane that flies very well. It can actually get amazing altitude, however, you should be careful what sort of winds you’re flying the plane in, as any winds over five miles an hour can easily toss the plane around. The plane also handles tight turns like a pro and can easily maneuver around fences, trees, and other large structures. You can fly the plane high and fast or low and slow. It’s very versatile. Not only that, it’s also very stable, which is what makes it a great choice for beginners.
Charging this plane is simple. Just plug the battery pack into your PC for about forty-five minutes and you’ll be good to go. Per charge, you’ll get about eight minutes of flight time.
The length of charge time was disappointing for some users, considering it takes almost an hour to charge and only has an eight minute flight time. The weight of the plane is also a downside for some. Because the plane is so light, you’ll only be able to fly it on low-wind days.
This is one durable little plane and it’s the perfect model to learn on. It can take a crash like a champ and features controls that are easy to use and SAFE technology, a feature that allows you to ease into flying at a lower speed.
2. Flyzone DHC2 Beaver Remote Controlled Airplane Review-Best Maneuverability
The Beaver DHC2 remote controlled plane by Flyzone features an aerocell foam construction and comes with floats for water landings and takeoffs, in addition to the traditional landing gear. All of the onboard electronics have been installed, including the receiver.
We can easily say that this is one beautiful plane. This is a five channel plane with flaps, throttle, elevator, rudder, and ailerons. Just point this plane into the wind from a hard surface and it will take off at half throttle as long as you’re using a fully charged battery. Using full flaps when landing into the wind the plane can be stopped very quickly. You’ll have no trouble flying or landing this model on windy days. In the air, the Beaver is able to effortlessly handle tight and large loops.
Using the wheeled landing gear setup, this plane can also be easily flown by the beginner.
Weighing in at three pounds, this durable plane offers a fifteen minute flight time, which is almost twice the flight time compared to competing models. The plane also features a faster charge time of just thirty minutes.
The ability to choose between floats and the traditional landing gear is a big selling point for consumers, however, we don’t recommend starting off flying with floats if you have no previous flight experience because a crash in the water is harder on a plane than a crash on land.
A cool little plane that’s fun to fly, this model offers more versatility in terms of where it can fly and the type of weather it can handle. Highly maneuverable, you’ll enjoy taking the Beaver out for a little stunting, just be sure to take off using the wheeled landing gear and work your way up to the floats after some much-needed practice.
3. Dromida Twin Explorer RC Plane Review-Best Value
The Twin Explorer remote control plane by Dromida is a great choice for beginners and comes ready to fly, right out of the box. The plane is made from a durable foam material that offers the right type of resilience for beginners who are bound to crash their plane often as they learn to fly. This is the right plane for anyone who wants to dip their toe into the remote control plane pool. Since the plane arrives ready to fly, all you have to do is charge the battery and put them into the transmitter. This plane is also the most affordable model we reviewed and it offers many of the same features you’ll find on higher priced models.
This incredibly lightweight plane weighs in at just 1.4 ounces and features a flight time that ranges from eight to ten minutes, depending on wind conditions. Charge time is around thirty minutes.
With a slight toss at around half throttle, the Twin will fly right out of your hand. This small plane needs some space to fly, so your backyard will be too small. We recommend taking it to a field. Once the plane gains some altitude it handles very well.
This plane can also really take a hit. Even after a crash, you won’t notice any ill effects. The Twin Explorer is built super tough.
The control inputs only include throttle and left and right. The plane’s turning is handled by the twin motors. There’s no ailerons or rudder included. Hitting the throttle too hard can result in losing control of the plane. As long as you stay smooth you can easily move this plane around in the sky.
This isn’t a plane we’d recommend to the serious RC plane enthusiast, however, it’s perfect for beginners or children. Despite its lightweight frame, this plane is definitely designed to take a beating without slowing down. Due to the low price, you’ll definitely benefit by purchasing this model as a starter plane and using it for practice or short outings. Overall, the quality and easy handling make the Twin Explorer well worth a second look.
RC Plane Buyer’s Guide
For your very first RC plane, you need something that’s forgiving and stable. Most beginners are too tempted to buy a plane that can fly faster or looks cool, without giving much thought to how hard or easy the plane is to control. This can be a huge mistake.
Most pros often recommend a high wing trainer for beginners. By high wing, we mean that the wings rest directly on top of the fuselage. This type of design adds a ton of stability, which is exactly what you need when you’re learning to fly.
High wing models are very forgiving and stable because the weight of the fuselage below the wings works to stabilize the plane in flight. In the air, the plane always wants to naturally right itself after a turn, which is an action that will really help you as you learn.
When you’re buying your first plane, another thing to look for is a noticeable dihedral, which is the upward V angle of the wings when the plane is viewed from the front. The more dihedral the plane has the more stable it will be.
You may have already decided whether you want to fly a model with an engine or an electric motor. Models with an electric motor are more beginner friendly and they’re cheaper to buy and fly. They also require fewer accessories and fly quieter. A glow plug powered model will require more accessories to maintain the engine and they only generate higher noise levels and are more expensive. You’ll also need to factor in ongoing fuel costs.
Three channel planes are the most common, and they’re perfect for beginners. Single and two channel models are available, but these are more toys than anything else and aren’t really recommended for buyers who are serious about the hobby. A three channel plane is really what you’ll need because they offer more control for the rudder, elevator, and motor.
Ready to Fly or Assembly Required?
Whether to purchase a model that’s ready right out of the box, or a kit is totally up to you. Buying a kit will involve building the plane from scratch, using the included instructions and parts. This can be very satisfying, but you’ll need some model building skills to do it well. You’ll also need to purchase a motor, radio gear, battery pack, and ESC, separately. We recommend learning to fly first before you risk crashing a plane that’s taken several days or weeks to build.
A model that’s almost ready to fly will be about ninety percent finished. You’ll need to purchase radio gear, the battery pack, ESC, and the motor separately. To install these added components some modeling knowledge is required. An almost ready to fly plane can make an excellent introduction to model airplane construction if you intend to get involved in that side of the hobby as well.
Ready to fly planes will be your best option if you simply want to get flying right away. These planes come fully finished with all of the electronics installed. They’ll be nothing for you to do apart from installing the transmitter batteries and charging the battery pack.
Ready to fly planes that are electrically powered have attracted a large number of beginners to the hobby in the past few years. These planes are convenient, affordable, and simple to use. They’re also primarily made out of foam construction and are easily repairable.
Spare Parts for your RC Plane
It’s a known fact that if you take up RC flying, you’re going to crash your plane at some point, especially if you’re just learning to fly. Most RC enthusiasts keep a supply of spare parts that allows them to easily repair their plane and get it back in the air in no time. When you’re shopping around for your plane, take the time to check whether spare parts for a particular model are available. Major brands often carry all the parts you could wish for. If you purchase a model that doesn’t have good backup parts, then you’ll be in for some potentially dodgy repairs that can have a major impact on your plane’s safety and performance after a crash.
Read the User’s Manual Before you Fly
If your new plane just arrived in the mail, then you’re probably pretty eager to put it together and get your plane in the air as quickly as possible. But first, you’ll need to thoroughly read the user’s manual, before you begin the assembly process or attempt to fly your plane. Take your time to carefully study the manual and get comfortable and familiar with all of the plane’s components. The real key to understanding the instruction manual is to go through it before you do anything with the plane, then go through it step by step during the assembly process.
If the instructions simply don’t make sense or they’re too vague, do a little research and troubleshooting on your own. Join an RC forum and ask for help. Currently, the two biggest forums are RC Universe and RC Groups.

I just received a new type of kit, one that I have not built before: This kit was printed with a 3D printer! The kit represents the popular homebuilt aircraft Van’s RV-4, and was made by an outfit named VFR Models in the UK. I bought mine on eBay for £33 (including shipping), and it arrived here in New Hampshire in mere 8 days.
Van’s RV-4 is an early design in the popular RV series of “kit aircraft” intended for those who want to build a 1/1-scale aircraft by themselves. It was introduced in 1980, and since then well over a thousand aircraft have been built.
We are down to all kinds of detail painting now… this time, it is canopy frames and wheel wells.
Normally I used a “phased” approach to painting canopy frames: first mask the latitudinal frames and paint them, then the longitudinal ones, finally any other remaining parts. This generally works well and saves me a lot of stress at the cost of just cleaning my airbrush a few more times. This time, however, I decided to do something different. I scanned the clear canopy part and used the resulting image as a guide to draw a mask. I then used my Cricut cutter to cut the mask from Tamiya masking tape. The results are surprisingly good.
The project has finally progressed to a point where I could start airbrushing actual camouflage. For paints I chose Tamiya acrylics and Mr. Color lacquers. Normally I paint everything with Tamiya, but in this project I am experimenting with Mr. Color, and so far the results have been absolutely excellent (albeit a bit stinky).
Here is what I have used:
Finnish field green (olive green)
RLM 65 Hellblau (Finnish “DN-väri”)
RLM 74 Graugrün
RLM 75 Grauviolett
Mr. Color #37
RLM 76 Lichtblau
Mr. Color #117
RLM 71 Dunkelgrün
Mr. Color #17
* Tamiya XF-24 or Tamiya XF-63? I think the appearance of the latter is just too dark for this small scale.
Today I want to describe my experience in finishing the five cockpits and thus readying the models to be airbrushed. Basically all the cockpits were done, internally, so the main thing missing was the canopy on each aircraft. In the Bf 109, the pilot’s headrest/armor is attached to the canopy. G-2 and E-7 have solid armor plate headrests, but the G-6 has an armored glass window built in for better visibility. The FineMolds’ G-6 kit comes with a clear part for the headrest, so all you need to do is to mask the window and paint the part. The problem is that the window is roughly 2 mm by 3 mm is size. I solved the masking problem by first scanning the part (using a flatbed scanner), then used the scanned image to prepare a graphic (in Adobe Illustrator). I used the graphic to cut exact masks from Tamiya masking tape, using my Cricut Maker computer-controlled cutter. I placed the masks on both sides of the part, and airbrushed it with RLM 74.
The project is progressing well, but rather than talk about the models, I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about reference material. Those who know me will say that I tend to be mildly obsessed with research to support my scale model projects. Well, it is all relative, of course, but my one steadfast rule is that I will not build a model unless I have photographs of the individual aircraft in question. Sometimes it is hard to find “enough” pictures (for whatever is your definition of the word), and sometimes you have to supplement with pictures of other aircraft in the same unit, etc.
Let me wax philosophical here for a moment… aircraft and aviation history have always fascinated me, and if you were to ask me “why do you build scale models?” my answer would be that it is to understand and preserve history. Other people will have other answers, and that’s fine. But I believe that as a means of preserving history, the model-building process has at least these objectives: to be as accurate as reasonably makes sense and to convey impressions to one’s audience (and I use this term in the same sense as the late 19th and early 20th century artists).
As for photographs, ideally, I would like to see them from all sides, revealing all details. This almost never happens, although this aspiration has led me to start preparing books that would give modelers just that. Right now, I have a book on AS.365N Dauphin helicopters nearing completion. But, I digress…
When I dreamed up this project I was afraid that things might get too overwhelming at some point. Well, that is not the case yet anyway, since I am making very good progress with all my Bf 109s. This week I have managed to build five airframes to a point where they are basically missing just some details before I can start airbrushing. Some questions still remain (such as whether I will use Squadron vacuform canopies with those aircraft whose cockpit is open) but generally I can see how I will take this project from where it is now to its conclusion.
I have built the Airfix Bf 109E-7 a few years ago, and found it to be a nice, accurate, and well detailed kit. As I was studying the same kit now on my workbench, it struck me that perhaps this could be a small “super-detailing” exercise. I have the True Details resin cockpit set, designed for the Hasegawa kit, but I figured I could make it work here as well. It certainly offers better details than the Airfix kit, although I have to say the details from the Airfix offering are quite nice and indeed I even built my earlier “Emil” with the canopy open.
The whole exercise could consist of the following:
Resin cockpit (from True Details), seat belts are part of the seat in this set so it will be better to use the seat from the kit with Eduard photo-etch seat belts,
Lowered flaps (the kit offers this),
Open engine cowling (in the E-model the entire upper cowling came off as a single part – the kit offers this possibility as well), more details added to the engine (perhaps), and
MG 17 guns on top of the engine – for this, I can use a leftover part from the FineMolds’ G-2 kit, as I intend to replace the gun barrels on that one with brass parts from Master Model.
The FineMolds’ Bf 109G kits have very nice cockpit details and really the only thing one could/should add are the seat belts. However, for my G-2 I wanted to try the Aires resin and photo-etch cockpit set, primarily because I intend to leave the canopy open. For the Premium Hobbies’ kit I am using an Eduard photo-etch set originally designed for the Academy kit. The other two G-6s will just use FineMolds’ parts, and the Airfix E-7 will also be out-of-the-box, except for photo-etch seat belts.
I started construction by airbrushing all G-models’ interiors with the dark gray RLM 74; I used Mr.Color semi-gloss enamel #36, a good match, but also an experiment for me since I normally use Tamiya acrylics. Mr.Color was a positive experience, easy to spray without any additional thinning. I used a Badger Patriot airbrush at approx. 20 PSI. Note that I also sprayed the photo-etch instrument panels which now will have to be assembled.
I am a big fan of FineMolds’ Bf 109s, but I recently bought one of the brand new Premium Hobbies’ Bf 109G-14s just to see what it is like. It turns out it is a reboxing of the older Academy kit with new decals and – according to Scalemates – some new parts (which ones, I do not know, since I don’t have the original kit to compare with). Historically, the G-14 variant was an attempt to standardize many of the modifications and improvements that had already been introduced in late production G-6s. I will build this kit as a G-6 with an Erla canopy and the taller vertical tail surfaces (as part of my Grand Messerschmitt project of 2021).

Definition and Purpose of a Duvet Cover
A duvet cover is a protective covering designed to encase a duvet, also known as a comforter, to keep it clean and to provide an additional layer of warmth. Duvet covers are typically made of soft, breathable materials such as cotton or linen, and are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and designs to match different bedroom decor styles.
The primary purpose of a duvet cover is to protect the duvet from dirt, stains, and wear and tear, as it is much easier to clean and replace a duvet cover than the duvet itself. Additionally, duvet covers offer versatility in terms of changing the look and feel of a bedroom without having to replace the duvet itself. They can be easily switched out or replaced to suit different seasons, occasions, or personal preferences.
Overall, a duvet cover serves as a practical and stylish addition to any bedding ensemble, providing both protection and customization options.
Different Types of Duvet Covers
Duvet covers come in a wide range of styles and materials to suit different needs and preferences. Here are some of the most common types of duvet covers:
Cotton: Cotton is a popular choice for duvet covers due to its softness, breathability, and durability. It is available in a variety of weaves and finishes, such as percale, sateen, and flannel, to provide different textures and weights.
Linen: Linen is a natural fabric that is highly breathable and absorbent, making it ideal for warmer climates or those who tend to sleep hot. It also has a distinctive texture and a casual, relaxed look.
Silk: Silk duvet covers are luxurious and silky to the touch, providing a soft and smooth sleeping surface. They are also naturally hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking.
Microfiber: Microfiber duvet covers are made of synthetic materials, such as polyester, and are known for their durability, affordability, and easy maintenance. They are also available in a variety of colors and patterns.
Flannel: Flannel duvet covers are made of a brushed cotton fabric that provides warmth and coziness, making them a popular choice for colder climates or winter months.
Overall, the type of duvet cover you choose will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and climate. It’s important to choose a high-quality duvet cover that will provide both comfort and protection for your duvet.
How to Choose the Right Size and Material for Your Duvet Cover
Choosing the right size and material for your duvet cover is essential for achieving optimal comfort and protection for your duvet. Here are some tips to help you choose the right size and material for your duvet cover:

I had quite a few tasks to get accomplished today and thankfully got everything done that I wanted to. This morning after my walk with Ayla, I ordered a new trash container to be delivered to the farm. We decided that we’ll take the trash in the garage here to the farm and use that container instead of ordering another small container at the house. Then I packed everything up and went over to the farm to make sure all the workers were there and progress was being made. Thankfully the painters were there already and starting to remove the textured wall paper from the living room walls and ceiling. That is a pretty huge task which is definitely going to take some time since it’s two guys doing it but hopefully with in the next couple of days they will get everything off and be able to paint at the end of the week just in time for us to start moving stuff in.
We were concerned about there not being any hot water pipes in the kitchen for the sink and such but Macky is going to install a water heater for us under the sink since it would be inefficient to pull the hot water from the house system being that it’s not incredibly far away. The guys seem to be making progress on the bathroom as well and I’m really hoping they call soon about the delivery of the shower.
After visiting the farm, I headed over to IKEA to pick up the oven, door grips (which will make using the kitchen cabinets quite a bit easier) and the furniture for the bathroom upstairs. Unfortunately, the smaller cabinet we were intending to use to balance out the kitchen cabinets doesn’t come in the same finish as our kitchen so we’re going to have to come up with something there…what we’re not really sure of yet but it’s one of our lessor worries at the moment. This IKEA was also missing the cabinet which goes under the sink for the bathroom so I will eventually need to hit up another IKEA store sometime this week which is supposed to have the cabinet in stock.
Then it was back to the farm to drop everything off (except the oven which I barely got in the truck myself and will certainly need some help to get it into the farm) and off to Hornbach. I needed to pick up a furniture dolly to make the move go a bit smoother and quicker and a couple wardrobe boxes to move our clothes in.
I couldn’t believe how well Ayla was taking all the stops this time around. She slept pretty much the entire time, whether I was driving or in the store or wherever. Again I have to be thankful for such an easy-going dog.
I’m back at the house finally and going to try to get a few more boxes packed and see if there’s anything else I can cross off my list of To Do’s. Tomorrow will be another full day as the container should be delivered in the morning and I figure I’ll start moving some of the stuff from the horse stalls into the barn and attic so we can use that room for storage of a few things if we need to…and because most of that stuff really doesn’t need to be in there. If not that room, I’ll probably end up trying to rearrange stuff in Storage Rooms A, B & C which are a bit of a mess now and there’s quite a bit of space that’s not being used very well. But regardless of what I end up doing, I will most likely just need to make sure I keep on moving because it’s quite cold again here in Germany. We’ve got temps below freezing at night and around 45 during the day…and since the heaters still need to be blown out at the house to get rid of any stoppages, many of the doors are being left open because of the dust being created while these guys are working, and
because of the number of people working, it’s just not comfortable for me to hang out there and wait for the container guy to show up, which could be anywhere from 9 am until noon.
Once that task is completed, I may travel to the other IKEA to pick up the sink cabinet since I want Macky to mount that for us if possible…and the more pieces of the bathroom we have here and completed, the better our chances are that it will be finished when we move in.
There’s still quite a few boxes to be packed all over the place as well so I guess I’ll fill up the last of the boxes we have here and make a trip to OBI eventually for more boxes….but at least the list of things to get done is growing shorter and the number of things left to pack is getting smaller.

My husband and I went to our first fashion show this weekend. We dressed in black; I wore my steampunk-inspired earrings; we practiced our high fashion attitudes.
Happily, this attitude was more appropriate to the event, the first ever DisArt Festival Fashion Show.
From their website:
DisArt is a multi-venue Disability Arts Festival scheduled for April 10-25, 2015 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Through several world-renowned exhibits of Disability Arts from all over the world, DisArt Festival 2015 will challenge its audiences to reconsider the importance of community, identity, and difference.
Which sounds all fine and good, but let me tell you what it meant for the Fashion Show: every model was a person with a disability. Each was given the full hair and makeup treatment. Each got to strut their stuff on a professionally lit runway, accompanied by the musical stylings of a professional DJ and the raucous cheers of the audience — except when the sleeping baby came out and we all tried to clap quietly. Many of the designers were people with disabilities.
It was one of the most joyful events I’ve ever been to.
Unlike most fashion shows that make the press, this was a family event, full of children and grandparents. Maybe a quarter of the crowd dressed for a fashion show, but the rest could have been going to any event their offspring were involved in. There were lots of kid volunteers, with whole families in blue DisArt T-shirts. The organizers kept having to bring in more chairs, and still, people wound up standing. Room 217 in the Woodbridge N. Ferris Building of Kendall College of Art and Design practically vibrated with excitement.
Robert Andy Coombs, photographer (see his work at the DisArt Hub) and DisArt Fashion Coordinator, welcomed us to the event, and then the fun began.
The first three items of clothing were made by open style lab, a nonprofit enterprise out of MIT that designs and manufactures accessible garments. First was a black quilted jacket with grey detail just under the shoulder that was so cool-looking I forgot to notice what made it particularly great for those with disabilities. I talked to the model afterwards, and he said he’d buy that jacket in a heartbeat; some of the garments will be for sale in May, so hopefully he’ll get the chance.
Next was a rain jacket (RAYN) designed for those who use wheelchairs. It has a section that, when unzipped, folds out to cover the wearer’s lap, and has a hood that lays softly against the back, yet when it’s flipped up, forms a brim that funnels rain away from the wearer’s face. I talked with this model afterwards, as well, and he enjoyed the whole process — even his own America’s-Next-Top-Model-makeover-day experience, when one of the stylists didn’t like his hair and wanted to cut it. The model agreed, and loves his new haircut.
The final garment from open style lab was a gorgeous asymmetrical white jacket for women that featured magnetic closings that made it easier to put on and take off. Underneath it, model Jessica Poll wore a white pleated, goddess-style top (that I may have coveted just a tiny bit). Ms. Poll beamed her entire time on the runway.
The next group of garments were T-shirts and boots designed by military veterans who had been wounded during their service, many during combat in Iraq. A local organization, Fashion Has Heart, pairs designers with veterans to create a T-shirt that represents their journey, as well as boots that are then manufactured by Wolverine. The first model pictured here, the guy with the awesome multicolored mohawk who is totally working the crowd, is wearing a shirt designed by a man with burns over 90% of his body after his vehicle was hit by an IED. The design shows a man in the middle of flames, rising like a phoenix.
The young woman below is modeling a shirt designed by an Iraq war veteran who lost her sight. The tagline on the shirt: “When life gives you lemons, you make the best damn lemonade.” The design is also textural, so a person with visual impairments can enjoy the different design elements.
There were several more T-shirts — one with a gold medal to symbolize the veteran’s hope of becoming a Paralympian, another with many doors, another with an image of the designer standing on his bionic legs. All the T-shirts from Fashion Has Heart are for sale for $25 each.
The final group of garments were designed by students in a class at the Kendall College of Art and Design and in partnership with Spectrum Health Innovations. Each student was paired with a child with a disability and tasked with creating clothing that would be supportive, that would be able to accommodate diapers and leg braces, that would have seams that lie flat. AND that a kid would want to wear — these functional garments had to be fun and attractive. They totally were.
There was a Mickey Mouse-themed outfit with a cape for a toddler who wasn’t quite as excited about the bright lights as some of the other models. An outfit that looked like it could be Green Bay Packers practice gear. One of the models was clearly having so much fun, zooming with his walker, but taking his moment in the spotlight at the beginning and end of the runway, that I forgot to notice what he was wearing, except that it had a cape, too. The garments took advantage of cutting-edge fabrics, with 4-way stretch, and with compression capabilities to support the kids’ muscle development and placement. The pants all had really cool-looking seaming that had functional purposes, but they managed to make it look and feel great for the kids wearing them. It was such a great experience that the instructor of the class hopes they’ll be able to run it again.
When Robert Andy Coombs came out again, he got a standing ovation. He called out festival director, Chris Smit, who also got the standing ovation treatment, and then made many people cry with these words:
We wanted to flip things on their heads, and I think we just did it. There are opportunities for this to happen all over. But it didn’t happen in New York. It didn’t happen in Chicago. It didn’t happen in L.A. It happened right here in Grand Rapids!
Now that it’s happened here, I hope it happens all over.
If necessity is the mother of invention, then the DisArt Fashion Show demonstrated that designers and fabric technologists are more than up to the task of designing beautiful garments that fill some real needs in the world — whether the need is for more functional garments for those with disabilities, or for self-expression, or for beauty. Or all three.
* The festival continues all week, with exhibitions, films, round tables, family days, dance performances. All for free. Check out the schedule. *
** I apologize for not being a proper reporter and not getting the names of all the models. If anyone who reads this knows their names, send me a message and I’ll add them. All photographs were taken by Michael Van Houten on his iPhone from our seats. If you want to see professional photos and news reports, you can check out MLive and WZZM. **

Free-flow club design links land to sea
Amaala, the ultra-luxury development located along Saudi Arabia’s north-western coast, has revealed an iconic HKS design for its Triple Bay Yacht Club.Set within the Triple Bay Marina of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Nature Reserve, the new yacht club is a keystone development with a captivating free-flowing structure that aims to create a one-of-a-kind meeting point between land and sea.
“Amaala is one of the flagship Saudi Vision 2030 projects and remains central to the kingdom’s ambition to become a global tourism leader. We anticipate that Amaala will become an international hub for luxury yachting and, as such, the yacht club required a world-class design, influenced by the surrounding natural elements and Arabic heritage, and underpinned by our commitment to sustainability,” said Amaala CEO John Pagano.
Drawing design inspiration from two sets of geometry, HKS first looked to the unique rock formations on the Saudi Red Sea coastline to create the club’s bespoke cantilevered terraces, which echo the natural shape of the surrounding cliffs, eroded over time by wind and sea.
“We were clear from the outset that we wanted to create a building of its place, with the design drawing inspiration from local landscapes and culture, alongside the nature of the marina lifestyle. The team wanted to re-imagine the yacht club as a modern concept, a home from home for nautical enthusiasts from all backgrounds, from leisure to elite sport,” said Dan Flower, HKS design director and lead architect for Amaala Yacht Club.
The second inspiration is drawn from mankind’s relationship with the sea and maritime history. This nautical edge will ensure the building sits seamlessly within the marina as a central hub and focal point.
Alongside the ‘sea meets land’ concept, the design references the look of a traditional Arabian house, with a simple smooth white exterior that is cut back to reveal luxurious metal. Internally it features a rich palette of natural and locally sourced materials, such as stone, timber and leather.
“Amaala offers an unparalleled opportunity to shape a new tourism destination and a new home for yachting on the Red Sea. It is a privilege to be involved as designers of this iconic yacht club, which is a centrepiece for the marina and set to evolve guest experience,” explained Kevin Underwood, global head of hospitality at HKS.
“We brought together the global expertise of our firm, using our experience of creating luxury destinations to create something truly innovative and contemporary. Sustainability in all aspects is at the heart of our design, seamlessly integrating the building with the stunning mountain and marine landscape of the Red Sea,” he added.
Covering 7,900m² (85,000ft²) and arranged on four levels, the ultra-luxurious club is set to create a home from home for its members whether to do business, relax, entertain or take part in a calendar of yachting events.
Arrival is a key moment for guests by land or water, with the entrance set within an arch that forms a shaded plaza and frames dramatic views to the Red Sea. The area has a mirrored vaulted ceiling over a star-lit floor which creates an alternative night sky for guests in the evening.
The interior of the club, also designed by HKS, along with the landscaping detail, is as visually stimulating as the exterior, with unparalleled attention to detail to ensure guests remain connected to the landscapes around them. Utilising local materials, with a focus on stone, timber and metals, and embracing a luxurious, yet authentic brass champagne colour scheme, the lounges and restaurant blend seamlessly together with an infinity loop-like shape throughout.
Complementing the yacht club’s functions, the 10ha (25 acre) basin hosts a 120-berth marina for yachts up to 130m (430ft) in length, and is designed for residents as well as yachting events, regattas and launches. Deepwater superyacht berths, fuel dock and personalised service ensure Triple Bay’s future rating as a destination for visiting superyachts, international regattas and domestic cruising.
Set across 4,155km² (1,604mi²), and due to welcome first guests in 2024, Triple Bay spans three natural bays along the coastline. The destination is designed to create a one-of-a-kind global wellness hub and is underpinned by a commitment to sustainability. The whole development is targeting a minimum LEED Gold standard for environmental sustainability.
Phase One of Triple Bay is on track to complete in 2024. It consists of eight resorts offering upwards of 1,300 hotel keys and will also feature a range of luxury food and beverage outlets, retail and leisure facilities.
Work is well underway with more than 1,000 workers already on site. More than 250 contracts for the project have been awarded to date. An RFP for the Utilities PPP has been issued to the market to ensure the development meets its sustainability ambitions. The destination will be off grid, powered solely by renewable energy.

So exciting! Next week we will present the amazing possibilities of 3D Food Printing with Bocusini® in catering, event gastronomy & confectionery at GulfHost in Dubai.
It is taking place from 18th to 20th of September and we are looking forward to meet you at our stand S2-B5 (in the German Pavilion)!
During the visit of the Federal President at the High-Tech Gründerfonds, we had the honour to present him our 3D Food Printing System Bocusini®. Our managing director, Gerd Funk, presented him with a original Bellevue castle out of marzipan, of course modeled using our 3D food printer Bocusini®.
Of course we do not want to withhold you the great snapshots of this exciting moment.
#startup #innovation #gruenderszene #digitalisierung #VC
Last Week, author Stephan R. Meier gave us a glimpse into the future at the presentation of his thrilling science-fiction book “NOW”.
The visionary “Reading 4.0” took place in Munich. Alongside robots and drones, our 3D Food Printer Bocusini® was again part of it and provided the guests of the exciting reading with NOW-Logos made of marzipan. These were highly sought-after: both, as nourishment for nerves and as a beautiful event-give-away.
Experience 3D Food Printing System Bocusini live in action in Paris, France on 15th-17th of June.
Where?: @Viva Technology taking place Parc Des Expositions (Paris Expo).
You will find us and our Bocusini at STAND Nr. M08-028 at the lab of Sodexo who invited us (thank you!).
On the 17th this great exhibition described as the hub for the world’s innovators, tech-lovers and pioneers of the future will be open to the public! Here you find more information: https://vivatechnology.com/grand-public/
We are so much looking forward to meeting you there and demonstrate you the amazing possibilities of 3D Food Printing!
Coming week, Bocusini will participate in the Global Food Innovation Summit Seeds&Chips where Barack Obama will be keynote speaker. Therefore we thought that it would be cool to 3D food print him in Marzipan. So we did.
And here it is – a sweet 3D Selfie of Barack Obama:
Did you know that Obama was the first president of the USA who was 3D scanned? The 3D scan was performed by a team of the Smithsonian Institute.
By the way: Bocusini will be speaker in the session about 3D Food Printing on 11th of May! Yes, it is still unbelieveable: at the same conference as the former president of the USA…

The presentations of our 3D Food Printing System Bocusini by Teresa and Eva Marlena at Bakkersvak (the national trade fair for bakers in the Netherlands in Rosmalen) got a lot of attention. Here we want to share some impressions of our small but nice stand with you.
This was a great start into the exhibition season. Already nex week, we will travel to Hamburg where we are looking for meeting you at the Internorga and Gastrovision.
We were able to convince the Südback expert jury of our 3D Food Printing System Bocusini® and are very proud of winning the Trend Award 2016. This top-class award is classified to be an important trendsetter in the bakery and confectionery business.
The award ceremony was part of the opening event of Südback (the fair for the bakery and confectionery trades) on October 22nd.
Gerd, Melanie and Sebastian (the 3 on the right) had the honour to take receipt of the prize in the name of the whole team.
World debut: Original bridal couple in marzipan – 3D scanned and food printed
At the trade fair Suedback in Stuttgart (22.10-25.10.2016) we present a highly innovative world novelty:
From now on, everybody is able to scan a bridal couple in approx. 4 minutes using a tablet with a special 3D camera. After that the 3D food printer Bocusini Pro is modelling the bridal couple fully automatically. Special knowledge is not necessary. With a final modelling step, confectioners may add their own personal touch.
After the successful shipping of more than 100 Bocusini plug & play 3D Food Printing Systems, the startup Print2Taste will now focus on the development of innovative food refills and applications. Here, especially for expert users in the field of confectionary, bakery, gastronomy or catering) new fascinating business cases should be visible.
Therefore, within the next months several new Bocusini food refills will be available. Here, Bocusini Choco will be the first product enabling access to a new world of creatively printed food objects.
It’s really plug & play: Just load the refill in the Bocusini system, easily create your own object and start your print.
Fascinating choco objects with filigree wall thickness or complex shapes will be the nice reward for your efforts. A variety of different applications available for all Bocusini owners on the Bocusini web platform, will additionally enable all users to realise objects refined with their own delicious food fillings and creative decorations.
Although, due to the natural limitations of the food material, not all shapes may presently be realised, a huge variety of creative objects is imaginable.
We are really happy to tell you, that all preordered 3D food printing systems have meanwhile left our facilities. The whole team likes to thank you all for your faith in our project and the patience during the last months.
The development of such a new and innovative product is always a huge experience of sun and rain, highlights and drawbacks. Therefore, I would additionally take the opportunity to thank the whole team being involved in the development, production and fulfilment at Print2Taste. They had been facing a lot of challenges concerning the Bocusini 3D food printer, the printable food products and the user interface.
Many thanks also to our partner printrbot and here especially to Brook and Byrren and the whole team behind for a lot of fruitful and challenging discussions and the support with the present printer system.
We hope, that for all of us, this will only be the first step to a new world of incredible impressive printable food products. At the moment, we are aiming on the development of new use cases or business models for our Bocusini owners. This could be for example the print of company logos or personalised messages on desert plates or cakes or the production of give-aways for customers. Economically much more interesting use cases will soon be visible here on bocusini.com.
Bocusini is still the worldwide only universal plug & play 3D food printing system. To confirm this, we will soon launch 4 additional printable food products available as refill for the Bocusini system.
Your Bocusini Team
Did you know that there is the „Skyscraper Day“ on 3rd of September? For us, this is a good opportunity for reporting on our first large give-away production and for launching the video of producing 450 miniature Upper-West skyscraper give-aways made out of marzipan.
The occasion was the topping-out ceremony of the Upper West on 19th of May, which was build next to the “Gedächtniskirche” in Berlin. Each guest should be provided with his or her own miniature Upper West as take away. Thus, we produced them at our facilities in Freising and brought them safely to Berlin. Additionally we accompanied the event in the Upper West with a demonstration showing the Bocusini® 3D Food Printing System live in action.

For lovers of Forest Park, it’s hard to imagine that there are many people who never visit the Park—but there are.
A big part of Forest Park Forever’s Director of Community Engagement Anne Grossmann’s job is working with our City of St. Louis partners to identify barriers that might keep people out of the Park, and then removing them.
“People need to feel comfortable, safe and welcomed in the natural areas of the Park, so our team thinks a lot about things like poison ivy on walking paths, or places where wintercreeper makes the forest dark and scary,” Grossmann says. “But another part of our work in partnership with the City of St. Louis is making sure that we are making the Park a place everyone can enjoy, regardless of different abilities.”
Recently, I took a walk with Grossmann to four sites where resources have been invested to make Forest Park a place for all: the Variety Wonderland Playground near the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center, the Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape, the World’s Fair Pavilion Comfort Station, and the new gravel path through the Successional Forest.
Join us for a tour of a few of the Park’s accessibility features that you may not notice.
The Variety Wonderland Playground
When the Variety Wonderland Playground opened in 2005, it was already ahead of its time. But after its May 2021 renovations, this Park favorite improves accessibility.
On the We-Go-Round, kids in wheelchairs spin alongside playground mates, because they can wheel directly onto this specially designed merry-go-round. Parallel bars at different heights allow differently-abled kids to grasp the bars overhead. Easy transfer points allow children to easily move from wheelchairs onto the new slides without feeling any different.
“These innovations create opportunities for inclusive play,” Grossmann says. “The Variety Wonderland Playground is about more than play—it’s about building relationships.”
Indeed, one of the most popular features, the metal disk swing, is a magnet for all kids. Grossmann says it is the most popular feature in the renovated playground.
“It’s cool and popular, and it’s designed around mobility needs, stability and support, but you would never know it,” says Grossmann. “All the kids are naturally drawn to it.”
The Forest Park team worked with Variety, the Children’s Charity of St. Louis, to identify the playground’s new functionality and activities. Then, they worked with the same provider of accessible equipment they used for the original playground.
And they have literally thought of everything. For example, the playground includes both plastic and metal slides.
“Kids with cochlear implants can’t use plastic slides, because the static buildup interferes with the sensitive electronics in their hearing devices,” Grossmann explains.
Add the sensory play wall and the refurbished, super-soft surface, and you truly have a playground for everyone.
“Everything we do at Variety focuses on developing skills, ending isolation, building self-esteem, and instilling independence for kids with different abilities,” says Brian Roy, Executive Director of Variety. “And everything in this reimagined playground supports those goals.
“Forest Park is a gem,” Roy continues, “and to have been at the forefront of creating the Wonderland Playground in 2005 and see it continue to expand as a place where all kids and families can play together has been amazing. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.”
The Nature Playscape
Unlike the 21st-century equipment in the Variety Wonderland Playground, you won’t find any equipment in the Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape—but it’s every bit as accessible.
“The Nature Playscape is truly about taking little safe risks, but we designed it to allow everyone to take those risks,” says Grossmann. “Even the benches are designed with accessibility in mind.”
Accessibility features start between the Nature Playscape and the World’s Fair Pavilion.
“Ten years or so ago we surveyed people who used the recreational path system about improvements and amenities they would like to see, and the new World’s Fair Comfort Station resulted from some of this feedback,” Grossmann says. “There was a strategic decision to connect the restoration of this restroom site with the creation of the Playscape. It’s a great meetup place for bikers and runners, but also for anyone using the Playscape.”
In addition to its heated restrooms that can be used year-round, Grossmann proudly points out the new tables where people can gather and enjoy a picnic lunch before exploring the Playscape.
“Some of them are designed with only three seats, which leaves room on the fourth side,” Grossmann notes “That lets anyone in a wheelchair roll right up to the table and eat with their friends and family.”
The Playscape’s accessibility features, like the Playscape itself, result from the voices of children. In more than 20 engagements at community centers, schools, after-school programs, youth programs, and more, kids of all abilities used Colorforms to lay out their vision for the design team. A smaller group of kids, the Youth Advisory Committee, known as the YAC, met with the New York-based design team—virtually or in-person—whenever they came to town. The City of St. Louis’ Office on the Disabled participated in design discussions and reviews.
Continuing to the Playscape, Grossmann points out the wheelchair-accessible parking spaces before starting down the carefully designed gravel paths.
“The gravel is actually over an asphalt base,” Grossmann says, scraping away a thin layer of stone to demonstrate. “That makes it fully accessible. The grade and transitions to boardwalks all meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The other paths are also up to most people’s abilities, whether they are using a wheelchair, walker or another mobility device.”
As we walk through the 17-acre Playscape, Grossmann points out how even many natural features, such as boulders in the Spring, are placed for easy transfer from a wheelchair. Virtually anyone can dangle their toes in the water here.
Meanwhile, official signs along with the path feature braille, and they are placed at eye level for wheelchair users and young ones. Such features provide accessibility, but the signage also makes it easier for everyone to enjoy the Playscape.
“We were intentional about designing for international visitors, making sure they felt welcome, too,” Grossmann says. “The design team developed a kind of universal iconography for essential services, such as drinking fountains and comfort stations. That way, if you’re lost or you’re looking for something and English is not your first language, you can look at the sign and know where to go.”
Smaller details throughout the Nature Playscape demonstrate its planner’s commitment to providing a safe environment for all. Even a humble one-inch edging along boardwalk areas plays an important role.
“In some places, we do have railings for safety, but we love providing access without having rails everywhere when we can,” Grossmann explains. “That little edging allows people in wheelchairs, visually impaired visitors or kids in strollers to experience nature safely, with nothing in between them.
And then there are the benches.
“Just like some of the tables in the Comfort Station, the benches are designed and placed so people in wheelchairs or other mobility devices don’t have to be at the end, apart from their group,” she says. “They can sit right in the middle and feel included, which is so important and something most people don’t think about.”
The Successional Forest … and Beyond
As a bonus, most of the benches are made from wood that was either reclaimed from the Nature Playscape site during construction or from elsewhere in Forest Park. Sitting on a bench and looking from the Nature Playscape to the bright gravel path that now cuts through the Successional Forest (providing more access, however not ADA compliant) to the east, the message is clear: Nature is here for us, and we are here for nature.
“It’s a nice juxtaposition, because you start at the Comfort Station, which is relatively controlled, and move into the Nature Playscape,” Grossmann says. “The Nature Playscape allows more unstructured play than the Variety Wonderland Playground, but with formal, fully accessible trails. With the new trail through the more unstructured and rustic Successional Forest, even a wilder area feels more accessible.”
Grossmann’s hope is that as people feel comfortable moving from the Playscape to the Successional Forest, they will feel safe and welcomed throughout the Park.
“Maybe they’ll go from the Successional Forest to one of the savannas, or prairies, or to Kennedy Forest and experience those as well,” notes Grossmann. “That way, people of all abilities can see how important these natural areas and green spaces are, and enjoy some creative play in a slightly less structured world.”

The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), established in 1911, exists to connect, develop, and support Commonwealth Parliamentarians to increase their capacity as legislators, scrutineers, and representatives, with the ultimate aim of driving good governance, democracy and human rights for the 2.4 billion people across the Commonwealth.
At the heart of The CPA is the CPA Headquarters Secretariat who support and facilitate the administration of the organisation. Serving as the initial public-facing platform for the organisation, the website is a key tool for the Secretariat to engage with its membership and the wider international community.
The Secretariat team had identified several problems with their previous website; it was dated from a design perspective, clunky, and complicated to navigate. In addition to remedying these issues, the CPA required several pieces of functionality including a Learning Management System, Event Management, and integration with a Customer Relationship Management platform (CRM).
Following a competitive tendering process, CPA appointed CSI Media to design and develop the new solution.
As the initial public-facing platform for CPA, we focused on designing a modern website that represented the prestige and officiality of the organisation. Usability was integral to our design approach, whilst maintaining a high-level of accessibility was crucial to the diverse membership.
We designed custom UIs for key landing pages, and a set of 15 components including a slideshow, a video block, and event teasers.
Our choice of Content Management System (CMS) was Umbraco, a powerful, easy-to-use CMS where the Secretariat manage the content on their website. Umbraco incorporates a Page Builder tool that enables CPA to build custom landing pages by adding any combination of components, helping the Secretariat to effectively engage and communicate with its wide-reaching audience.
The website includes a Directory Listing where users can search for parliamentary members via several criteria including name, country, and parliaments/legislatures. When a search is conducted, records are retrieved from the integrated CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365.
CPA provide a curriculum of online training courses to support Parliamentarians and parliamentary officials in fulfilling their constitutional and statutory obligations. We developed a Learning Management System, incorporating functionality that enables the Secretariat to create custom modular courses in Umbraco. Parliamentarians can access these courses via an integrated portal and complete the associated assessments and exams.
The Secretariat can set up events for members and parliamentarians to attend including committee meetings, conferences, and workshops. CPA can specify the details of the event (event name, description, date & time), mark each event as either ‘public’ - which are displayed to all users on the event listing page - or ‘private’, which are invite-only, and accept/decline event-registration requests. Finally, events are either paid or free and, therefore, we integrated the website with Worldpay and PayPal to enable online payments.
In the 12 months following launch, the new website recorded the following results:

SHELBURNE FARMS: House, Gardens, Farm, and Barns
By Glenn Suokko
Foreword by Alec Webb, Afterword by Megan Camp
Rizzoli International Publications, New York
Celebrating the beauty of Vermont’s Shelburne Farms, the late-nineteenth-century model agricultural estate on the shores of Lake Champlain, and today an inspiring National Historic Landmark.
This lavishly illustrated book tells the fascinating story of Shelburne Farms, once a magnificent Gilded Age estate created by America’s leading aristocrats of the day, Eliza “Lila” Vanderbilt and William Seward Webb. Built between 1886 and 1905, the estate’s buildings, designed by architect Robert H. Robertson, include Shelburne House—the Webbs’ stunning Shingle- and Queen Anne–style residence with Lila Webb’s design for a formal Italianate flower garden—and the Farm Barn, Coach Barn, and Breeding Barn. Landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted planned the original 4,000 acres of pasturelands, woodlands, carriage and riding trails, and picturesque settings for the many domestic and farm buildings, which now provide some of the most bucolic views of Vermont’s pastoral landscape and dramatic views of New York’s Adirondack Mountains, directly across Lake Champlain.
Period photographs capture the Webb’s original vision, while new photography by Glenn Suokko showcases the splendid results of the decades-long restoration. Once a private country estate that remained in the same family for close to a century, Shelburne Farms is now a nonprofit organization and sustainable working farm open to the public. The Webbs’ residence, Shelburne House, has been transformed as an inn that showcases many original paintings, furnishings, wall coverings, sculpture, and decorative arts. The farm raises and grows most of the food it serves at its award-winning farm-to-table restaurant. Over twenty recipes created for this book by the Inn’s executive chef complete a captivating glimpse into this enchanting place.

American style leather description for leathers that have a natural, rugged and often oily look and feel.
Aniline leather Leather with a minimal surface finish and an original natural grain surface clearly visible. These leathers usually come from the best quality hides and skins and are used for luxury items.
Biodegradable leather Leather is made to last and wear well, but has the ability to degrade biologically in 10-50 years.
Bonded leather A material that has been made from leather dust, clippings and leather shavings bonded together with a base substance.
Box calf leather A firm leather, mostly made from calf skins
Buffed leather A leather that has had the top surface buffed to produce a soft velvet-like touch. This term is also sometimes used for nubuck leather.
Bycast® leather Split leather that has been finished to a smooth surface with a PU coating.
Cavallino or hair-on hide or pony leather Cavallino is a hair-on hide that provides a warm and luxurious look. It is strictly tanned with the finest vegetable oils and tanning agents. It has been sheered to assure a more consistent hair length, and then aniline dyed to give every hide a great, vibrant color and rich hand. Each hide will show variance in both color and texture, giving each a distinct one of a kind quality.
Chrome leather Leather that has been tanned using chrome- most of the world’s leather is tanned this way as it is a proven process that produces a stable end-product.
Chrome free leather Leather tanned using alternative methods to chrome - usually aldehydes.
Crust leather Part-processed leather that has been retanned and dyed
but not been through its final finish.
Embossed leather Leather that has a print or surface pattern created through the application of pressure.
Finished leather Leather that has its final characteristics added, being ready for manufacture into the final product, (shoes, bags, furniture etc.)
Full grain leather Leather made from the top layer of the hide or skin.
Genuine leather A term is used to emphasise that a product is made from natural, real leather, not a synthetic alternative.
Hide Hides are skins from bigger animals- mainly cattle or buffalo.
Leather The official and recognised definition of leather is:‘hide or skin with its original fibrous structure more or less intact, tanned to be imputrescible, where the hair or wool may or may not have been removed.’
Leather board Also called bonded leather (see before). This material is often used in shoes (in-between soles) or to give body to a bag.
Nubuck A leather that has had the top surface buffed to produce a soft velvet-like touch. Depending on the depth of the buffing there will often be a clearly visible nap. Also known as buffed leather.
Pigmented leather Leather that has been finished with a special coating to protect it for heavy duty applications or to cover natural defects. The natural grain structure will not be visible.
Pull-up leather Oil or wax is added to the top surface, when the leather is ‘pulled’ these move creating a unique effect.
Real leather Used to emphasise that a product is made from natural, real leather, not a synthetic alternative.
Semi-aniline leather Leather that has a light finish applied, usually with pigments. The natural grain surface can still be seen but it less susceptible to soiling and easier to care for than aniline leather.
Skin Skins come from smaller animals, mainly sheep, goats or pigs. They are a by-product of the food industry.
Sole leather A thick firm leather used in footwear, which is produced by vegetable tanning.
Snuffed grain leather Similar to buffed or nubuck leather, where the grain is very lightly buffed.
Split leather The underneath section of the leather after it has been split - the top layer is what creates full grain leather, the split is the second layer and is mostly used to make suede.
Suede The flesh side of the final leather or also used to refer to split leather. The fibers tend to be longer giving it a ‘hairy’ appearance.
Vegan leather Marketing term used to refer to synthetic material made to look like leather. In some countries it is forbidden to use the term "vegan" in combination with leather.

Event Design Dallas is about creating an impactful and memorable experience for attendees. It covers everything from the logistics to the visual details.
SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound) objectives should be established as the basis for planning. Market research is also essential to consider for this stage.
Visual displays are an essential element of event design. They communicate information, reinforce branding, and captivate attendees. There are many different types of visual displays, such as stage backdrops, signage, installations, and multimedia elements. It is important to consider the objectives and theme of the event when choosing visual display methods. This will help ensure that the design and decor complements the event and creates a cohesive experience for attendees.
The use of visuals can also be used to evoke emotions in attendees and create a sense of ambiance and atmosphere. For example, the use of colors and shapes can elicit feelings of excitement or trust. Moreover, sound can play a significant role in affecting how attendees respond to visuals. For example, Starbucks plays different music depending on the time of day to encourage customers to linger and buy more coffee.
A common visual manifestation technique in retail is window displays. These can draw attention, convey brand messaging, and increase product sales. In addition, they can create a sense of urgency in shoppers to make a purchase. This is particularly useful during promotional sales.
Another popular visual manifestation technique for events is video walls. These can be used to showcase products, engage attendees, and make presentations more effective. They can be used in a variety of settings, including trade shows, conferences, and museums.
Event design is a powerful tool that can elevate an event from ordinary to extraordinary. By establishing a coherent theme, utilizing lighting and colors, creating engaging displays, balancing functionality and aesthetics, incorporating thoughtful decor elements, integrating branding and personalization, and collaborating with professional event designers, you can create unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impression on attendees.
The lighting of an event is one of the most important elements to consider. It can be used to create a specific atmosphere, and it can also help to control the flow of guests and highlight different areas of the venue or decor. It’s also a great way to add visual interest to an event, and it can even be used to reinforce the brand or theme of the event.
The use of lighting can dramatically influence the mood of a room, creating an atmosphere that resonates with the desired emotion for the event. For example, warm, soft lighting can infuse a space with intimacy, while vibrant, dynamic lighting can fuel energy and excitement. Lighting can also be used to play with the lines of a space, drawing attention to particular areas using directional light or by using uplighters, pin/spotlights and gobos (lights with patterned stencils).
Achieving the right focus is essential in event design, and lighting can be used to draw attendees’ attention to key features of the venue and the program. It’s also a great tool for guiding attendees through the program, subtly directing their attention between different sections of the event or to specific presenters and performers.
Event designers have a variety of tools at their disposal to help them achieve the right results, from sourcing and testing materials to ensuring that the final product is on budget and delivered on time. The best event designers are able to take into account all the factors that go into planning an event, and they have a creative process that helps them create exceptional experiences for their attendees. Those interested in becoming event designers can either pursue a university master’s degree or join a reputable event production company that offers training and mentorship.
When designing an event, color plays a crucial role in establishing the aesthetic and creating the mood of the occasion. It can also help to communicate a theme or even encourage certain feelings among attendees. For example, using the colors associated with a particular time period can transport guests to that time and place, or bright and warm colors can create a sense of excitement. Using colors in a way that aligns with the event’s purpose is important to avoid overdoing it or making it too gimmicky.
The color of an event’s decor, from linens to banners and signs, is a key aspect in conveying the theme and atmosphere. Colors can also be used to highlight specific elements of the venue, such as a registration tent or buffet table. A good rule of thumb is to choose a color that stands out enough to be easily seen from a distance. This will make it easier for guests to find what they’re looking for.
Aside from the impact of decor, color is often used in the lighting at an event to fine-tune the energy and mood of a space. Adding subtle or dramatic shades of the same color can create a very different effect, such as using uplighting to project the logo of an event’s sponsor in their branding colors.
Choosing a color palette can be difficult, but with some simple research you can make sure your colors align with the purpose of an event and help to achieve its goals. Consider using a color wheel to identify complementary hues, which pair well together and create a harmonious blend. Neutrals, such as tans and beiges, are also popular in design, as they create a clean, sophisticated look and can provide a backdrop for other decor items.
The use of textures adds dimension to a design and captivates the audience’s attention. Textures can be soft, rough, shiny, or even icy, and are often used to evoke certain emotions or themes. For example, a rustic-themed event might incorporate wood, stone, and brick. Alternatively, a more modern or sleek event may use metallics and glass. The textures you choose should align with the event’s theme and message, but they also need to compliment the aesthetic of the overall event.
For example, if you’re using a bright red banner to promote a new product, you might want to coordinate it with the rest of the event decor to reinforce your message. You can do this by matching the color and other aesthetic elements to the brand’s logo and colors. Another way to make your event decor pop is through the use of lines. Horizontal lines can be added with items like rugs, furniture, or walls, while vertical lines can be achieved through things like drapes and columns. Dynamic lines are also important, and can be incorporated by adding curves or angles to an object.
Event design is the process of transforming a space into an inspiring experience for attendees. It encompasses many aspects of event planning, including deciding on the theme and visual display of the event, as well as choosing a venue and creating the right atmosphere. Event designers are skilled at creating a cohesive and polished look for an event, while also staying within budget. They can help plan a timeline to guide event management teams in the creation of an impactful event. They can also help identify event goals and create a strategic approach to achieve those goals.
A theme is the foundation of every design decision, and it sets the tone for the whole event. It should be short and memorable, and it should capture the idea you want to convey. It should also be strategic, and it should align with your goals. This will help you attract the right people and engage your audience.
You should also consider how your theme will fit with your venue. This will determine whether you need to add certain elements like a photo booth or selfie corner to your space, or whether you can incorporate the theme into existing features of the venue. You can also use your theme to select activities that will help break the ice and encourage networking. A good way to do this is by offering a workshop with speakers who can teach attendees something new, or by putting on an entertainment show that matches the theme.
Incorporate texture into your event, so that it isn’t just visual but also tactile. We’re sensory creatures, so this is a must-have. For example, a bouncy rubber floor will be wanted to jump on, while a fluffy wall might be stroked. You can also incorporate textural elements by using materials that are both visually and tactile, such as a brick-printed wallpaper.

HIDROSTANK continues with the international commitment that has been making for several years and will be present at the next edition of PAYSALIA, which will be held at EUREXPO – Centre de Conventions et d’Expositions de Lyon from 5th to 7th December.
PAYSALIA is the leading trade show targeting every active person involved in landscaping in France. 1,500 exhibitors will present their new products and services to the administration, specifiers (architects, engineers, landscapers…) and contractors.
HIDROSTANK will present its wide range of products for Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS):
- Attenuation crates and geocells, that allow a tailored dimensioning of infiltration or detention tanks, draining ditches….
- Dry Paving System (DPS),
- Hydrodynamic separators,
- Draining set…
In PAYSALIA, HIDROSTANK will present its latest innovations to the French market: the Dry Paving System (DPS), developed together with PVT and AH, and the HIDROCRATE infiltration box.
The DPS, consisting of an infiltration cell with a draining pavement (DPS), is an innovative solution for achieving permeable surfaces in a very simple way. The Hidrocell polymeric geocell lattice supports the ecoDraining draining pavement with which it is connected by means of a system of crosspieces and grooves specially designed to ensure a perfect fit. Between the ecoDraining pieces and the Hidrocell geocells, a thin layer of geotextile facilitates water infiltration and prevents the passage of particles, allowing a perfect anchorage between the geocells and the pavement.
In addition, the new HIDROCRATE infiltration box, with a columnar design, has a high compressive strength and is easier to install than previous models.
In HALL 5D44, qualified HIDROSTANK staff will provide visitors with any information they may require, with the help of samples and models to help them understand how our different solutions work.

- Your personal style (contemporary or traditional)
- Color scheme, and
- The theme of your wedding, if you have one.
Wedding invitations also vary in price point from very expensive to quite reasonable. You’ll want to choose them with care, so that you get the best invitation possible at your price point. The pricepoint of your wedding invitations will depend on quite a few things including:
- Paper selected,
- Print used,
- How many sheets of paper are used,
- How the paper is folded, and

With pinball making a substantial resurgence across the nation, Gentle Giant wishes to make certain that these classic, stunning machines stay damage-free while being carried. Oh, and we want individuals moving them to be safe, too.
Initially glance, pinball devices can appear frightening to move because of their fragility, size, and weight. Luckily, our skilled Giants have a few techniques up their sleeves to guarantee your pinball is moved with ease.
Folding Down the Headbox
The majority of contemporary pinballs (made in the last Twenty Years or so) have a hinge system which enables the headbox to be folded down. Early pinball makers had their headboxes bolted on, using either 2 or 4 bolts. All Electro-Mechanical pinballs use this system, together with the early Strong State machines.
Later makers have hinges and utilize a latching system to keep the headbox upright. There might likewise be two bolts inside as added security, in case the lock is broken or accidentally un-latched.
For Electro-Mechanical pinball devices, you require to remove the headbox rear access panel to acquire access to the bolts and plugs within. Usually this panel has a lock on it to keep it in place, however with time the key may have been lost. On a regular basis, there is a screw keeping this panel in place.
When within, remove the bolts and unplug the large adapters that have wiring going down into the device. You might wish to label these ports to put them back in the ideal area, but they ought to be various sizes, making it hard to plug back incorrectly.
You can now eliminate the headbox totally, or fold the headbox down onto the playfield glass. Make certain you use some foam, heavy cardboard, or blankets to protect the headbox from rubbing on the cabinet. Foam is best, as it will assist keep the back glass in location.
Early Strong State Pinballs
For early Solid State Pinballs, you will need to eliminate the back glass. There is a lock situated on the headbox in among three places: the left-hand side at the top, right-hand side at the leading or on top of the headbox in the center.
As soon as opened, remove the back glass by lifting it up utilizing the lift channel (at the bottom of the glass), then pull it out from the bottom.
Then, open the back box lamp panel by lifting the lock situated on either the left-hand side or right-hand side. The panel can now swing out to you, and offer you access to the circuit boards, plugs, and the bolts. Some Gottlieb pinballs need you to lift up the lamp panel in order to swing it open.
Now that you are inside, you can eliminate the bolts, and any plugs that have wires decreasing into the maker. You may wish to label these plugs to put them back in the best area. You might not have to remove the plugs, as the electrical wiring must be long enough to permit the headbox to be folded down.
At this moment, you can lock up the lamp panel and replace the back glass.
Modern Strong State Pinballs
For Data East, Sega, and Stern Modern pinballs, there is a turnable lock system situated at the back of the headbox. Utilizing the supplied key, turn the latch 90 ° counter-clockwise.
For Williams, Bally, and Gottlieb, you can easily unlatch the back box at the back of the device. This is a basic setup and needs no tools.
If you can now fold down the head box onto the cabinet, you're done. Make sure you use some foam, heavy cardboard, or blankets to safeguard the headbox from rubbing on the cabinet. Foam is best, as it will likewise assist keep the moving pinball machine back glass in location.
If you can not fold the head box down, then you have to get inside. There is a lock situated at the top of the back glass in the center. Utilize the supplied key to unlock, and remove the back glass by lifting it up from the bottom, and after that pulling it out from the bottom.
Next, you will have to eliminate the screen panel. You can do this by raising it up and out. Open the light panel. There will be a lock located on either the right-hand or left-hand side. (Some newer Williams and Bally pinballs do not have a separate amp panel, it belongs to moving specialty items the back glass panel. And later Sega and Stern pinballs use a fluorescent tube for the back glass lighting).
Get rid of the more info 2 bolts, put the back box back together, and fold down the head box onto the cabinet. Make sure you use some foam, heavy cardboard, or blankets to protect the headbox from rubbing on the cabinet. Foam is best, as it will also help keep the back glass in place.
Removing the Legs.
Pinball Device legs are held in place by eight bolts. The contemporary pinballs have captive nuts or threaded plates inside for the bolts to screw into.
These threaded plates and captive nuts can be harmed, and the usage of additional nuts might have been needed. If this holds true, you will require to open the front door of the pinball, slide out the playfield glass, and raise the playfield.
With the front door (coin door) open, move the lock down bar lock throughout and eliminate the lock down bar. Move out the playfield glass, and put in a safe location. Next, lift up the playfield by putting your hand where the ball drains, and lift the playfield up.
You ought to now have access to any nuts that may have been used. When any nuts have been removed, replace the playfield glass and lock down bar, and lock the front door.
Be sure to mark or remember which legs are for the front and back, as they will be adjusted differently to suit.
Loading the Pinball.
You are now ready to transport your pinball maker. Prior to you fill it, make certain you get rid of the pinballs so they do not bounce around throughout transportation.
If you are moving the pinball utilizing a van or SUV, it might be simpler to eliminate the legs just prior to packing the device. Get a good friend to have and assist among you supporting the pinball, while the other eliminates the front legs. Slide the device in, and then remove the back legs. It is a lot easier to load the machine front initially.
Make sure you strap the pinball in, as you do not want it moving if you have to stop unexpectedly!
For Electro-Mechanical pinball makers, you require to eliminate the headbox rear gain access to panel to acquire access to the bolts and plugs inside. (Some newer Williams and Bally pinballs do not have a separate amp panel, it is part of the back glass panel. And later on Sega and Stern pinballs utilize a fluorescent tube for the back glass lighting).
If you are moving the pinball utilizing a van or SUV, it might be simpler to remove the legs just prior to loading the maker. Get a pal to have and help one of you supporting the pinball, while the other removes the front legs.

Introducing Easypop: our brand-new Shopify application
On the Shopify store, there are 643 different popup application options. So, you might think that introducing another popup application to the Shopify store is a crazy decision. (Honeslty, you might even be right but we’re doing it anyways)
The all-in-one solution
Many stores on Shopify end up using 2-5 different apps. A Shopify store usually has an upsell popup app, social proof popups, newsletter popups, and many others. That means having to find all these apps, view the features to ensure it accomplishes all that you need, learn each function and pay a monthly fee for each app. Our core focus in building Easypop is to create an all-in-one solution that’s modular and flexible. We want to give merchants the ability to quickly and easily manage all their on-site marketing from a single dashboard.
Minimal and Beautiful
Easypop is beautiful by default! We’ve purposely stripped back the design options so you don’t have to sort through hundreds of templates. We’re using a minimal aesthetic so your campaigns look incredible out of the box. This makes it simple for merchants to create and design their campaigns. The clean and minimal popups will elevate your Shopify site while fitting seamlessly into your existing branding.
We know how important it is to have a well-optimized Shopify site and the effects it can bring. According to Shopify, “Online stores can expect 35% of total traffic to come from search engine results pages. Site optimization factors everything from content, to site speed to user experience. We know speed matters, and for ecommerce brands, a few seconds can have a huge impact. That’s why we’ve made sure to optimize Easypop to reduce performance impacts and improve user experience.
How it works
Easypop includes three different campaign components:
- Content type (what kind of campaign you want to run)
- Style templates (how you want your campaign to look)
- And conditions (when and where to show the campaign)
Each component works together to create a full campaign. By splitting the campaign creation into these three components we’re able to give you full control and flexibility to create the exact campaign you need.
What are my content type options?
When you install Easypop, your campaign type options will show up first.
Easypop includes a handful of campaign types (with more coming soon).
- Newsletter (obviously we made a newsletter type)
- Standard message
- Mini message
- Cart progress bar
- Product feed
- Single product
- Custom HTML

What’s even more exciting about Easypop is we’ve built the app to be completely modular which allows us to add and extend the functionality further. With that being said, we plan to build out a larger catalog of content types in the coming months.
You can expect Easypop to be updated with more content types. We already have a long list that we will be working on such as age verification, postal code verification, blog post, scratch and save, geo-redirection, SMS collection, and many more coming soon.
What are the style template options in Easypop?
After choosing your content type, your style template will appear. This is where the magic happens. Right now, Easypop has five style templates.
- Modal - This is the standard popup box that appears throughout most ecommerce sites. This popup appears in the center with a blurred overlay.
- Fullscreen - This popup is great to put all the attention on your campaign and block content on a specific page.
- Drawer - The drawer is a favourite used throughout Shopify stores and works great on mobile.
- Message Box - The message box sits in the bottom corner and reminds the visitor of a special deal or important message. It’s great to guide your visitors to a specific point of your site.

The benefits of conditions options
Conditions in Easypop are used to trigger your campaign settings and customize where and when your campaign will appear. For example, you can display a campaign when someone scrolls through 50% of a specific page. You could even go a step further and only show a campaign to customers who have $10 in their cart and have been on a page for more than 30 seconds. All customizable to fine-tune the delivery of your popup.

How our past experience has influenced our approach to Easypop
We have been working in the Shopify space for 7 years and have seen the various apps Shopify merchants are using. We have seen the growth ecommerce has had and how wide the gap is in the app store to deliver a true single app solution for on-page marketing. We have also learned a lot from our Shopify clients on what features they are looking for in a solution. Easypop was created with our past client and user experiences in mind.
Is this what you need?
Right now, you can install Easypop and try the app out completely free.
If you have thoughts to share, want to connect or want a discount for any of our paid plans (we’re only offering discounts for early adopters, so get on board while you can) hit me up on Twitter 👇
A few weeks ago (feels like yesterday) we launched our new @Shopify app @easypopapp. It’s a simple and flexible marketing tool - here are some cool things you can do with it — Thomas Kimura (@itstomkim) May 4, 2021

My greatest passion in life is art, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than creating unique visual worlds where captivating stories can take place.
I became a production designer over a decade ago, after working as an interior architectural designer and as a set designer in the film and television industry for seven years.
I am the grateful winner of three Israeli Academy Awards for designing the films Footnote by Joseph Cedar (winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival), Big Bad Wolves by Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado (winner of the Saturn Award for Best International Film), and Foxtrot by Samuel maoz (winner of the Grand Jury Prize Silver Lion at Venice International Film Festival).
Other projects which I designed include A Tale of Love and Darkness by Natalie Portman, Beirut by Brad Anderson and Tony Gilroy, Absentia for Sony Pictures Television & Amazon Prime, Our Boys for HBO & Keshet Studios, which awarded me an Israeli Television Academy Award for Best Production Design, and more.
I’m a member of the British Film Designers Guild and the European Film Academy, proud father of three beautiful, creative, and messy children, and in a loving domestic partnership with acclaimed writer/director Maysaloun Hamoud.

This fabulous Vision Éternel short sleeve ladies’ t-shirt features the iconic band logo designed by Jeremy Roux in the summer of 2008. The shirt’s colour is an oatmeal beige and the text is printed using high-quality direct to garment printing (DTG) in an off-green/brown ink. This colour-palette reflects the style of Vision Éternel’s third EP, “Abondance De Périls“.
This t-shirt is made by Bella + Canvas and is printed at Printful. It is the Bella + Canvas 8413 super-soft form-fitting ladies’ t-shirt. It features a uniquely soft triblend heather fabrication (50% polyester, 25% combed and ring-spun cotton, 25% rayon) with a 40 single-thread weight. This t-shirt offers a modern/European feminine fit, ribbed crew neck (a slightly lower neckline than the classic t-shirt) and short set-in sleeves. It is side-seamed and a semi-relaxed fit. It is very comfortable and has an extreme durability which allows the shirt to withstand repeated washing. Please note that Vision Éternel’s t-shirts are printed on-demand and therefore take approximately two to three weeks to arrive.
Shipping not included.
*Most ladies’s reviews of this shirt suggest getting a size bigger than you’re used to because of the tight form-fitting shape. This is more of an European sized than an American sized shirt.
*HPS stands for “high point of your shoulder”. The chest size refers to the total circumference of the shirt. All sizes are in inches. You can find additional information on methods of measurements on Google.

The standard 500cc ABSAF engine is almost exactly the same as the original BSA Gold Star DBD 34 engine, except for the relocated 10mm spark plug (for better combustion), modified inlet and exhaust ports (for better flow), forged piston, stainless steel valves, nikasil lined one-piece barrel, modern built up crankshaft with big end needle bearing, heavy duty main bearings, cast iron high capacity oil pump, vernier adjustable cam pinions and the timing gear plate is located by a dowel. All individual parts are fully interchangeable with those in original engines. The estimated output is 46 bhp, max rpm is 7200. Bore x stroke is 85 x 88mm, compression is 10:1. On the outside it is only distinguishable from an original engine by the centrally positioned spark plug and 2mm longer oil pump cover. This engine is so reliable that it we cannot recommend it to those of you who like to spend their weekends taking the engine to bits. In fact, this engine may never need to be opened up again.
