The name stuck.
Artyology is a space in which to wonder, create, experiment, tinker, make and build… and be free to translate dreams into reality.
At any one time, students might be:
…carefully selecting and placing tiles/stones/marbles on a large collaborative mosaic table;
…needle-felting creatures or wet-felting their miniature felt pod homes;
…crocheting flowers to revamp classroom furnishings;
…using clay to mould imagined clay gargoyles or microbes for the international ‘Stepping Up’ Ceramics Triennale, or leaves and vines to encircle the school;
…designing and making costumes and props for their Class’ original performances within the end-of-year Learning Celebration Concert;
…working in small groups storyboarding and producing stop-motion animations;
…experimenting with different mediums, e.g. sculpting with wire and copper;
…sorting and arranging natural materials collected during bushwalks (observing conservation principles) to sketch or transform into art works;
…fusing a glass rainbow to demonstrate how light and colour interact;
…tinkering to generate creations using recycled materials, or pulling things apart to see how they work and reconfiguring them to create something new.
In addition, students pursue creative inspirations and outlets in the broader community. Examples include:
…black-and-white or digital photography at PhotoAccess;
…printmaking at Megalo Print Studios and Gallery;
…ceramics at Canberra Potters’ Society;
…technical drawing and industrial design with Tom Skeehan;
…viewing artworks and having a dialogue with the artist at the ANU’s Drill Hall Gallery.
In 2015, our 3 and 4 year old preschool students explored the National Arboretum Canberra, as part of Blue Gum’s ‘Community Classrooms’ program, visiting the emerging 100 forests again and again. Their discovery of different fungi and birds’ nests triggered their imagination and desire to create their own Forest of 1,000 Mushrooms – a seemingly impossible target! But their determination won through; with the help of the whole school community their dream became a reality – 1,000 unique clay mushrooms were created and appeared fleetingly at the Arboretum (as mushrooms do) before finding permanent homes around Canberra and beyond.
Through the ‘languages’ imbedded in the Arts, students are encouraged to be creative, independent thinkers and makers, who gain an understanding of the importance of risk-taking, perseverance and learning through and from mistakes. They are not simply replicating the work of others, but grappling with challenges and problem-solving as they explore and express their ideas, and ways to make their thinking visible. Sometimes, they will create individually and at other times in dialogue with others – both are important.
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” ~ Albert Einstein

Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talk – Do schools kill creativity? https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity?language=en
Senator Mitch Fifield, Federal Minister for the Arts. Opening address to the National Visual Art Education Conference, 20 January 2016, Canberra. [extract]:
“The arts is not some luxury. It’s not an add on. It’s not something that’s extra-curricular in an educational sense. The arts is something that should be core to primary and secondary school education… [T]here is inherent value in art. There is inherent value in the creative process. But the arts does provide students with the capacity and the tools and the mechanisms to understand the world around them. To interpret the world around them. And to express what it is that they feel and what they see. And these are skills for life. They’re skills for living… [I]f we want to have a real culture of innovation then we need to have creativity at the heart of that agenda and what we need to do is to put an A into STEM. We need to start talking about STEAM. Science, Technology, Education, the Arts and Mathematics. Because if we want to have a culture of innovation, a culture of creativity feeds directly into that.” | design |

The environment needs to encourage children’s development. It’s how children feel positive and confident about their sense of self and their individual accomplishments. Their space needs to provide a balance of challenge, risk and safety.
A positive environment should have expressive materials like paint, drawing materials, and dough or clay. The space should include open-ended materials that can be used in many different ways, so children can pretend, invent and create. Sensory experiences are also very nurturing and soothing for kids’ emotions. Water play, sand play, play dough, pouring materials – they all allow release of frustration. Construction materials, like building blocks, are also important and help develop a child’s fine and gross motor skills.
The environment needs to be based on the whole child: socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. This approach looks at the environment as a whole through the child’s eye. Ask yourself, “Are there materials so that the child can express his feelings? Are the materials challenging enough? Are there opportunities for fine and gross motor development?” Here are some useful tips:
- Organization – Can the child “read” the environment to make sense of it? Is the space clear or chaotic? Labels or pictures help the child keep the environment orderly, which fosters independence in the child.
Aesthetics – Is there color, texture, soft materials? Not just primary colors. Having a wide range of colors and materials is more likely to appeal to children and will enable them to gain more intelligence about their world.
Adaptability – Can the space or materials move and change to reflect the child’s current development, interests?
Creating a positive environment also means giving a child individual attention and respect by acknowledging the child. Acknowledgement is more than simply complimenting the child. An adult can compliment a child by saying, “I love your art.” Acknowledgement, however, is when an adult takes notice of what a child has done, and says, “Look, you can do that now!” | design |

While the difference seems minor, a vehicle is a precision machine, and small variances could do a lot of damage over the long run if not compensated for. The Differential is responsible for this compensation in the driven wheels of a vehicle. It does so through a set of “spider” gears that mechanically transfer the torque from one wheel to the other. When one wheel needs to travel a smaller distance, it transfers some of its torque to the opposite wheel, which needs to travel the greater distance. This automated torque balancing action keeps the overall load on the engine and transmission steady, regardless of how sharp the vehicle is turning. In doing so, the gears in the differential experience heavy and varying loads, which leads to heat and wear on all the mechanical components. To ensure smooth operation, the gears need to mesh perfectly and stay well lubricated. That’s why they are bathed in thick, dense, gear oil that requires changing regularly to maintain its viscosity, friction reducing, and heat dissipation properties.
Differentials are normally designed for one of three types of operation: Open, Locked, or Limited Slip. A locking differential is designed to overcome the chief limitation of a standard open differential by essentially “locking” both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in unison, regardless of the traction (or lack thereof) available to either wheel individually. There are numerous variations such as manual and automatic locking designs, and several limited slip designs.
An open (or unlocked) differential always provides the same torque (rotational force) to both wheels on the same axle. So although the wheels can rotate at different speeds, they apply the same rotational force, even if one is entirely stationary, and the other spinning.
By contrast, a locked differential forces both left and right wheels on the same axle to rotate at the same speed under nearly all circumstances, regardless of traction differences. Therefore, each wheel can apply as much rotational force as the traction under it will allow, but the torques on each side-shaft can be unequal.
A locked differential can provide a significant traction advantage over an open differential, but only when the traction under each wheel differs significantly.
All the above comments apply to central differentials as well as to those in each axle: full-time four-wheel-drive (often called “All Wheel Drive”) vehicles have three differentials, one in each axle, and a central one incorporated into the transfer case.
Limited Slip differentials are considered a compromise between a standard differential and a locking differential because they operate more smoothly, and they do direct some extra torque to the wheel with the most traction compared to a standard differential, but they are not capable of 100% lockup.
Traction Control systems are also used in many modern vehicles either in addition to, or as a replacement of, a locking differential. This is not in fact a differential lock, but operates at each wheel. Sensors monitor wheel speeds, and if one is rotating significantly faster than the other the traction control system momentarily applies braking to the slipping wheel. This transfers more power to the wheel with traction by employing the open differential. If all drive wheels lose traction, then throttle control may be automatically applied. Electronic traction control systems are usually integrated with anti-lock braking systems, which have a similar braking action and use many of the same components.
Differential Service Recommendations
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that the differential fluid be changed every 50,000 Km to 70,000 Km. We recommend even more frequently if the vehicle is used for towing or other heavy workloads. It is a messy job, and should be done by a licensed mechanic. The fluid will have to be disposed of properly, you may need new gaskets or seals, and the parts inside the differential housing will need to be wiped down so that any contaminants from the old fluid aren’t transferred to the new. Plus, the differential is underneath the vehicle so it will need to be lifted on a hoist for clear access.
During a differential service, our experienced technicians will diagnose any potential problems before they become significant. They can measure the float, run a gear pattern, set the preload, and inspect the axle and pinion bearings and seals. They’ll also inspect and make adjustments to any positive traction mechanisms to ensure they are optimized throughout the life of the vehicle. They can also repair any leaks that could lead to fluid loss and catastrophic failure of the differential.
You’ve had the Ring and Pinion Gear Set in your Differential Replaced – Now What?
When you’ve had a new ring and pinion gear set installed in your differential, we highly recommend that you follow these break-in procedures to ensure the best performance and longevity from your vehicle.
After driving the first 20 to 30 Km, stop and let the differential cool down. Keep the vehicle at speeds below 100 KPH for the first 150 Km. We also recommend putting at least 750 Km on the new gear set before heavy usage such as towing. During the first 60 Km of heavy usage it helps to go about 20 Km at a time, then stopping to let the differential cool for 15 minutes before continuing. This is necessary because not all of the gear tooth surface is making contact until it’s heavily loaded. When loaded, the teeth flex to make more complete contact and cause the previously unloaded portion of the teeth to touch and become work-hardened. All of this may seem paranoid but it is very easy to damage new ring and pinion gears through overloading before the teeth are broken in. If you take it easy on a new gear set and keep the differential full of clean, high quality oil, it will last a lot longer.

https://makingitin.ca/the-industrial-rise-of-organic-structure/ | 2019-09-15T14:45:17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514571506.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20190915134729-20190915160729-00554.warc.gz | 0.933866 | 1,026 | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-39__0__149306549 | en | After decades of standard engineering structures and with the rising demand of innovation in the industrial field, Engineers went back to nature to optimize the design of parts by making light-weight shapes, integrating internal features, or reducing the need for assembling separate components. This was made possible by manufacturing stronger structures that look like natural forms. Organic structures are becoming popular in the design field especially after the recent advancements in Additive Manufacturing (AM), where the material is only added where needed, to carry stresses and perform specific functions
SME Toronto Chapter 26 explored this niche market by visiting Anubis 3D, located in Mississauga, Ontario. Tharwat Fouad, founder of Anubis 3D, explained his journey of transformation in the Additive Manufacturing industry, from a focus on prototyping (which he considers the tip of the iceberg), to using AM technologies to achieve more efficient batching and customization of unique parts. Tharwat Fouad explained “Anubis 3D mainly uses SLS technology, and focuses on the area of material handling end of arm tools.”
The design lead, Mr. Joshua McCaugan, uses software called Inspire® by Altair, to design End of Arms (EoA) tools. The design team has nearly unrestricted freedom to design a part in order to optimize its functionality.
When building parts in an additive manner, new capabilities are enabled. First, by carefully controlling the fabrication of each layer, it is possible to fabricate functional mechanisms with a much simplified supply chain. By ensuring that clearances between links are adequate, revolving or translational joints can be created. Also, mechanisms or parts can be organically designed, that are topologically optimized to reduce weight and optimized for the function; rather than for the purpose of finding suitable components from standard engineering shapes such as beams and channels.
A Multi-Functional device used as an injection moulding End of Arm (EOA) gripper for an automotive manufacturer is shown above. Additive Manufacturing of organic-design inspired EoA Tooling provides the following powerful capabilities to ANUBIS 3D solutions.
- Integration of Functions: Combines gripping with suction cups
- Light-weighting: Reduces weight by 60% in the above part
- Material grading and different part properties: using two different materials for different properties such as high erosion resistance on functional surfaces and high toughness in core body parts
- Light weight quick connect with integrated vacuum channel for fast change over and mold set up. It takes 10 seconds to replace the tool
- A lightweight organic structure, engineered for uniform stress distribution, maximum stiffness with minimum material weight
- A complex design that provides more reliable components
Other Benefits of Organic Shapes:
- Reduction of stress concentrations
- Possible enhancement of fatigue performance due to homogeneous stress distribution
- Reduction of number of parts and joints due to combination of organic shapes with additive manufacturing of complex geometries
- Organic shapes seem to be favorable in terms of design for additive manufacturing because low volume structural elements do not build up high thermal stresses in the process as exemplary studies show
- Modern, fascinating and aesthetic structures
Using topology optimization an effective structure is calculated that transmits forces throughout the structure without using unnecessary diversion routes. In so doing, the material is used in the most effective way and lightweight designs can be generated that most often have an organic shape. Additionally, by avoiding force redirection, stress concentrations can be significantly reduced, which decreases strength requirements on the material and is expected to increase fatigue performance. The drawbacks of organic shapes are mostly due to the lack of knowledge in their application.
Limitations of the technology:
- Need for advanced CAE methods as well as experienced and well-trained application engineers
- Possible loss in robustness due to uncertainties when optimization methods are not applied with care and reasonable engineering interpretation
- High complexity and diversity of design solutions/organic shapes – leads to drawbacks in development cost, evaluation capacity and re-usability of design solutions
- Best practice guidelines for organic shapes and respective complex geometries need to be developed further
ANUBIS 3D’s decision to adopt the SLS technology ecosystem; was driven by their requirement to realize organic structural concepts, that optimize the tool’s stress distribution throughout an integrated and light-weighted design. ANUBIS 3D’s resultant success is owed to their inspired — and SLS enabled — application of winning, organic designs in End of Arm tooling. With every tool, enhanced mechanical performance is realized through a tough-enough stiffness to weight ratio for real world use.
ANUBIS 3D is expanding rapidly in North America mainly due to its inspired re-thinking of design. They are also supporting many university initiatives as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility undertakings.

On the outside, Grizzly athletic facilities look like the best in the Big Sky Conference. Washington-Grizzly Stadium and Dahlberg arena are appealing to both players and fans. On the inside, facilities used by student-athletes are sub-par compared to others around the league. The academic center, weight room, and locker rooms are cramped and poorly ventilated, and the roof leaks.
The University plans to construct a new academic center, renovate the locker rooms and expand the weight room. In addition, permanent lights for Washington-Grizzly Stadium have been installed.
President Engstrom says the new academic center is the most important part of this initiative. The athletic facility improvements align with two UM strategic issues: partnering for student success and providing a dynamic learning environment. | design |

From these starting points, an elongated house with a narrow frame was designed.
We placed the garage to the north of the plot as a protective wall towards a densely built-up residential area. As an extension to the bedrock, we designed a large terrace, organically following the shapes of the rock.
Following the colours of the surrounding softwood trees, we designed the outer surface to be dark, almost black. Window frames, external structures and indoor furniture are oak coloured. Indoor surfaces are white, offering a contrast to the house’s dark outdoor characteristics.
Large windows open towards the yard. The open rock is connected to the indoor structures through the terrace which flows outdoors almost seamlessly.
The house was built in 2010.

They are the buttons, links, or any other form of interactive element that prompt the user to take a specific action. These actions could range from signing up for a service, making a purchase, downloading an app, or filling out a form. CTAs play a vital role in guiding the user towards the intended conversion, making them an essential component of user experience (UX) design.
Here are some best practices for designing effective CTAs:
- Make them prominent: CTAs should be easily noticeable and stand out from the rest of the interface. The use of contrasting colors, larger font sizes, and clear labeling can help achieve this.
- Keep them simple: CTAs should have a clear and concise message that conveys the action the user will take. Avoid using technical jargon or convoluted language.
- Place them strategically: CTAs should be placed in locations where users are likely to see them, such as near the main content or at the bottom of the page.
- Test and iterate: A/B testing is a valuable tool for determining the effectiveness of different CTA designs. Iterating and making changes based on test results can help improve conversion rates.
- Make them actionable: CTAs should inspire a sense of urgency and immediacy. Phrases such as “Get started now” or “Download today” can help create a sense of urgency.
In conclusion, CTAs are a critical component of UI design and play a significant role in guiding the user towards the intended conversion. By following these best practices, designers can create effective and compelling CTAs that improve the overall user experience. | design |

For the traditional heater, the traditional heater mainly relies on radiant heat conduction. The heating and dehumidification effect is not ideal, and it has thermal damage to the surrounding components of the heater in the cabinet. On the basis of the shape, the PTC heating element (resistance wire can also be used for special voltage) is used inside. The heating element has the traditions of self-temperature control and constant temperature heating, no open flame, high heat conversion rate, minimal influence by the power supply voltage, and long natural life. Unmatched advantages of heating elements. The heater changes its own heating power with the change of external environmental conditions, that is, when the ambient temperature is low, the heat absorption is large, and the heater has good heat dissipation, its own power is large. On the contrary, it is small. A miniature axial fan is added to the outside to make the air in the cabinet produce convection conduction, the overall temperature rises quickly, the heat distribution is uniform, the dehumidification is fast, the effect is obvious, and there is no negative effect on the components in the cabinet. The heater always keeps working at a low temperature. , Greatly extend its own life. A dust-proof net can also be installed at the air inlet of the micro-axial flow fan, which can effectively filter the dust in the control area when working. It is helpful to prevent the insulation degradation caused by the dust and dirt on the surface of the component, which may cause breakdown and leakage accidents. It is an upgraded product of the current heater.
Note: The fan must be started at the same time when the heater is powered on; the heater must be turned off before the fan is powered off. So as not to damage the fan due to high temperature.

Each page has an organza pocket for holding papers, bills, checkbooks, ipods, cell phones or whatever. A few pages have a spill proof design for smaller or more valuable items, like buttons or coins. I liked the idea of making an artist's book, but then I wanted to be able to use it for everyday life, not just sitting on a shelf somewhere. Hopefully it will help me to stay more organized!
The pages are made from a piece of peltex (or timtex...can't remember the name of it) covered with batting and a piece of silk on which one of my sketchbook pages is printed. Then I quilted each page. On the backs of the quilted pages was plain cotton fabric, which I then covered with gesso and embellished with pencil and fine tip pen by writing random thoughts about the image. Also I used watercolor on top of the gesso. Then when each page was dry I attached organza for the pockets.
Finally I stitched it together using a french bookbinding technique, and attached a fabric spine just to neaten it up a bit. Edges are satin stitched. I hope you enjoy looking at it and get some ideas to make your own organizing journal! | design |

How grateful I am that I made the drive to central Pennsylvania to see this exceptional exhibition in person. The show provided an in-depth look at the recent work of five artists: JeanAnn Dabb, Karen Kettering Dimit, Cynthia Fisher, Yulia Hanansen, and Rachel Sager Lynch. Five distinct voices, all committed to pursuing their individual investigations of the world in the language of mosaics.
For those who couldn’t make the trip, Nancie Mills Pipgras provides an excellent overview of the show with splendid photos on the website of Mosaic Art Now (http://www.mosaicartnow.com/2012/07/terra-incognita/). Additional information on the exhibition can be found at www.pct.edu/gallery
|Miss Cucuteni 2011, one of several of Karen Kettering Dimit's Subway Goddesses,
greets gallery visitors. On the near wall, five mosaics
from her series, NYC Water Towers: A Mosaic "Sketchbook"
The show was unified by a guiding sensibility in that each artist used the medium of mosaics to explore worlds unknown—whether near (as in a rarely visited tract of forest or an overlooked facet of the urban landscape) or far (as seen in representations of historic or imagined maps, the subterranean earth, undersea environments, and outer space).
|Yulia Hanansen explores galaxies, distant stars, and space travel in the language of mosaics.
|In these small-format mosaics Hanansen uses rippled and layered glass and signature feather-shaped cuts to convey a cosmos teeming with energy and brilliant color.
Every work in the exhibit had the power of specificity, a meaning that transcended the virtuoso handling of color and texture and referenced a particular time or place or cultural current. The art was brave, original, fully thought out, and deeply expressive. There was plenty of variety in the formats: two- and three-dimensional work, sculpture that used mosaic only in part, interesting use of negative space. It was fun to read the show for each artist’s self-professed wonky fascination with a topic of interest: archeology and anthropology, geology, geography and cartography, cosmic forces and scientific achievement, urban architecture, ancient vs. pop culture, and the natural environment. Because each mosaicist was invited to display a small body of work, you could see her engagement with a theme over time and get a good sense of what makes her work distinctive and important.
JeanAnn Dabb uses a variety of innovative formats to explore themes of geology and archeology. Her mosaics come alive with dramatic textures, light and shadow.
|Fossils, smalti, and stone were combined to magnificent effect in this Dabb mosaic,
Lower Bridger Formation: Howard's Beach, a detail of which is pictured here.
|Rachel Sager Lynch's mosaics are rich with exquisitely modulated color and texture, as in
A Color Wheel: From Whitsett to Leiper's Fork.
The mosaics were also simply gorgeous—teeming with color and abundant with a rich palette of materials, sensuous, touchable. I was sometimes transfixed by the color or texture of single stone or a single row of tesserae, a testament to the power of a finely made mosaic to draw you close. Traditional mosaic materials like glass, smalti, stone, marble, and ceramic were represented, as well as metals, fossils, shells, gemlike minerals, coal, repurposed industrial parts, and unusual found objects. Everywhere I looked I saw technical prowess as demonstrated by interesting juxtapositions and skillful transitions. And yet despite the ambition of each mosaic, the bold choices, there was also a welcome restraint, a sense of control. No “irrational exuberance” here, and the whole exhibit was better for it.
|Cynthia Fisher's Textures, Fall demonstrates her powers of close observation and her ability
to reconstruct her impressions in jazz-inflected, color-infused mosaics that convey the variety and poetic beauty of her Massachusetts landscape.
|In My World Fisher orchestrates the elements of landscape and atmosphere in a
stunning mosaic composition that captures a particular moment in time.
The gallery configuration made for an exceptional viewing experience. The spacious floor plan, the signage, the lighting, even the background music all elevated the show. The gallery welcomed visitors with a brief video presentation narrated by JeanAnn Dabb on the history of mosaics and an overview of materials and techniques. This, along with a printed exhibition guide, helped those new to contemporary mosaics better understand and appreciate the art.
Mosaicists everywhere owe a huge debt to Karen Kettering Dimit for scoping out the opportunity at Penn College and for the thoughtful and sensitive way she and Lynch conceived and curated the show. It all came together in a first-rate slice of what's happening in American mosaics. To my mind, it was the best exhibition of contemporary mosaic art I've ever seen--intelligent, bold, thoroughly American in its scope and interests. I only wish it could be packed up and shipped to several more galleries around the country so more people could see it.
It’s an idiom equally worthy of celebration. | design |

It’s where you game, where you stream or watch others’ streams, and where you set up your gaming keyboard and other fancy peripherals. Plus, if you’re one of the many folks who now permanently work from home, it might very well be your workstation as well!
That means a gaming desk that’s cluttered, awkwardly arranged, or otherwise suboptimal can be a major drag on big parts of your life. So don’t accept less than you deserve! Up ahead, we’ll show you eight top tips for maximizing your gaming desk setup.
Start by visualizing your ideal desk setup.
The first step is to consider what you want from your gaming desk. Think about:
- What works about your current setup and what could be improved
- Features of the room, such as its size and number of outlets
- Gaming peripherals (both ones you use now and ones you might want in the future)
- The aesthetic you want for your gaming setup
Let these guide you as you create or revamp your gaming desk arrangement. It’s all about finding what creates the gaming experience you want!
Decide whether your current desk meets your needs.
Your desk is the physical foundation of your gaming setup, so it’s crucial to have one that works for you. Here are some possibilities to think about:
- Need more desktop space, but don’t have a lot of room? A corner desk could be ideal for maximizing your available space.
- Looking for more storage? Pick a desk with drawers or other built-in storage space.
- Need some help with your cable management? Many desks (and gaming desks, in particular) now offer built-in cord management features.
- Want to move a little more while you’re gaming or working? Consider getting an adjustable sit-stand desk.
Elevate your monitors for a more comfortable viewing experience.
Keeping your monitors elevated can be helpful for your posture and health, especially when it comes to avoiding the dreaded “tech neck.” Many gaming desks include built-in monitor stands with support for one, two, or even three monitors. These stands are often adjustable, so you can customize the monitor’s height according to your own stature and preferences.
Alternatively, think about exploring monitor mounting options like swivel desk mounts and wall mounts. These can be excellent choices for mounting a monitor when you need a lot of flexibility and the ability to reposition your display at will.
Plan your cable management from the beginning.
Leaving cable management until last is a good way to end up with an annoying tangle of cords, so save yourself the annoyance by coming up with a cable management plan. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few basic pointers:
- Use wireless peripherals to minimize cables as much as you can.
- Create a place to store and organize cables when you’re not using them.
- Consider using clips and raceways to control and consolidate cable runs.
- Choose an outlet strip that includes USB chargers for an all-in-one power source.
Create a place for everything.
You’ll have a much easier time keeping your gaming desk manageable if everything has a permanent home. Little extras like a headphone stand or a dish for pens and spare change can make a real difference in how organized your desk feels.
This is especially important if your gaming desk needs room for extra peripherals. Got a streaming setup with ring light, microphone, and mixer? Planning to add a racing wheel, fight stick, or other specialty controllers? Make a space for all of it, even if it won’t be on the desk at all times.
Don’t use your desk to store unrelated items.
The flip side of the previous tip is that your desk shouldn’t be a general storage space. A good rule of thumb is that it shouldn’t be stored there if you never actually use it at your desk. Paperwork, phone accessories, books (unless you read at your desk) — if you’re not using it, get it outta there!
Yes, finding a place for all of this stuff can be a pain, but dealing with it now is better than enduring the constant stress of a messy desk. Use this as an opportunity to think about installing shelves, purchasing new storage gear, and anything else that could improve your gaming space.
Make it easy to keep things clean.
Various kinds of trash and junk can pile up on your desk surprisingly fast. To keep things clean, step one is adding a nearby wastebasket will make sure you no longer have an excuse to let things pile up! If you’ve got nosy pets, grab a wastebasket with a lid that seals.
Keeping a few cleaning supplies nearby will also make it easier to touch up your desk as needed. A basic gentle cleaner and some wet wipes will take you pretty far. Once you have the supplies at hand, get into the habit of doing a regular cleaning once or twice a week.
Grab a cooling pad if you’ll be gaming on a laptop.
Gaming laptops pack a lot of power into a small form factor — but that can lead to heat problems that slow down your gaming performance. That’s why many gaming laptop owners equip their gaming desks with laptop cooling pads. Each of these pads has one or more small fans inside that help cool your computer when your processor and/or graphics card are running a little too hot.
Take a look at the wide variety of cooling pads available and find one that’s right for you. From ergonomic features like built-in stands that elevate your laptop to fun stuff like RGB lights, there’s something for everybody in the world of laptop pads!
All this might seem like a lot of work, but we promise it’s manageable if you take it a step at a time. And if you let yourself get creative, it can even be enjoyable! Most importantly, the handful of hours you put into this will pay off with a desk setup that serves you well for hundreds of golden gaming hours. | design |

Christmas Tree LED Lights Buyers Guide
There are lots of options in the market today if you’re planning to buy Christmas tree lights. In this guide, we are purposely going to focus on LED lights strings because traditional incandescent lights are being phased out.
Knowing the different types of Christmas LED light strings before you open your wallet is important. But ultimately, you’ll have to make your choice depending on how you want to decorate your Christmas tree.
Here are the most common LED string light types and bulbs you’ll across online.
LED Mini Light Strings
Also known as M5 LED lights, these lights were originally designed to look like the traditional incandescent lights. They come in a myriad of styles but their basic design resembles traditional lights.
LED Wide Angle Mini Lights
These are a little different from Mini lights, but they serve the same purpose. Often called polka-dot lights, the wide-angle LED lights disperse colorful lights in wide, circular patterns instead of straight lines.
LED C6 Light Strings
C6 light strings, often referred to as strawberry lights, come with ¾-inch LED bulbs permanently fixed to a wire. They are much brighter and larger than Mini lights and can be used both outdoors and indoors.
LED C7 Light Strings
LED C7 lights are the closest alternative to traditional outdoor Christmas lights. They are attached permanently to a wire and are ideally for decorating Christmas trees indoors.
Christmas LED C9 Light Bulbs
These lights are quite large compared to other options. They are much brighter than most and make a great choice when used outdoors. However, they can also be used indoor, particularly in large rooms.
LED G12 Christmas Berry Lights
These come in the shape of berries and are a perfect solution for small Christmas trees or wreaths. The lights are permanently fixed to a string, and lots of people prefer them over cone-shaped lights.
Battery Operated LED String Lights
Battery operated lights make it easy to set up a Christmas tree from anywhere. You’ll not need to be closer to the electricity source in order to decorate a Christmas tree. And If you like your setup without visible cords, these should be your best choice.
Net LED Lights
Net LED lights come in the form of a net. Decorating your tree with these lights is a lot easier, as all you need to do is to wrap them around your Christmas tree and you have a beautiful setup in place. They also have a more uniform look than most choices out there.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Christmas Tree LED Lights
How Many Christmas Lights Do You Need?
The rule of thumb when buying Christmas tree lights is to get about 100-150 mini lights for approximately one foot of your tree. If you go with 100, you’ll have more room to add decorations and the foliage will be visible. If you choose to go with 150, you’ll have a strong twinkling effect with little space for more decoration.
When thinking of how many strands you need, your personal preference will be the deciding factor. However, bulb spacing and string strength are crucial factors that you can’t overlook. LED light strings with wide spaces are ideal on slender posts or branches. Strings with fewer spaces are ideal for wrapping over your Christmas tree. Strings that come with 4-inch bulb spacing are best used outdoor because they shine brighter.
Which Bulb Color?
Some people prefer white lights, while others prefer blue or multi colored lights. However, it’s important to note that white gives a very modern look while multicolored lights are best used to enhance the mood and ambience of the festive period.
Do You Need a Remote Control?
Would you like to control your lights with a remote device? If so, choose a model that comes with a remote control. It simplifies the task of operating your LED string lights since it can operate them with convenience.
However, it’s crucial to check the amount of distance a given remote control covers. The device will be of no use if you have to be very closer to your string lights.
Determine Your Lighting Budget
The price of LED lights depends on the length of the string, the quality, size of the bulbs and the type of brand. But most light strings don’t cost a fortune so there should be no reason why you can’t decorate your Christmas tree to brighten up your surroundings.
Christmas is the time to be merry and bond with family and friends you’ve not seen for some time. If you’re looking to improve the mood and ambiance of your home during Christmas, LED lights can do the magic for you.
And there’s simply no better way of revving up the Christmas spirit than decorating your Christmas tree with shiny, twinkling LED lights. The 10 best picks above are some of the best LED string lights on the market for the 2018/19 festive season.
We hope you’ll find the perfect option for decorating your Christmas tree before the festive period kicks in. | design |

The logic is that it should be at the end of the line, just as it is on the right for a left to right (LTR) language. This works fine in IE, but Firefox will always show the scrollbar on the right.
Unfortunately this is by design. Firefox believes that the scrollbar is part of the browser, not the webpage and so by default a website should not have the ability to override the user’s settings. IE believes the scrollbar is not part of the browser but part of the page. Therefore, if a page is RTL the scrollbar should be on the left.
This can be fixed on an individual instance of Firefox.
- Open Firefox
- Navigate to about:config
- Set the filter to layout.scrollbar.side
- Double click the layout.scrollbar.side line
- Change the setting to 1 and click OK
Now Firefox will behave like IE and show the scrollbar on which ever side the page dictates. Unfortunately, this will not help any of your users. The best solution to assure your RTL website displays the scrollbar on the correct side is to use a third party customizable scrollbar, such as jQuery Scrollbar or jScrollPane. | design |

We had the opportunity to work with Environment Canada recently on a customized USB flash drive project that included a custom designed and fabricated mold for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Doha, Qatar. We were initially approached about the production of a standard drive order, but after consulting with the team at EC, we pitched the idea of utilizing a customized mold of a polar bear to communicate the content loaded onto the drives more effectively.
The creation of a custom mold typically has a few steps. We ask that the client submits a series of reference images for us to draw from thematically. In this case, Environment Canada wanted to incorporate a clearly visible outline of a polar bear – something akin to the beautiful Inuit style art that graces some of Canada’s national museums, but also something that was clearly identifiable and not abstract. We settled on 5 different reference images that we researched. The 5 qualified as images that we like to call “dimension-able designs” – meaning, that they fall within the parameters of being able to incorporate into a CAD program and create a mold that would fit universally into all USB ports. This is a key step. Creating a mold that is too wide can hinder the use of a even a single user, considering that most computers have at least 2-3 USB ports that are in almost all cases virtually on top of each other. Secondly, the client wanted to utilize a material that was comparable to the look and feel of an iPod – a cool white plastic.
After presenting the 5 CAD designs, the client chose the subtle outline shown here. We fabricated and completed production in 7 days, and then loaded over 1.6 GB (a combination of multilingual videos and documentation) of content in 48 hours on 1500 drives for delivery to the CITES conference in less than 2 weeks from the beginning of production.

(To paint the sides or not: Some artists paint them, but others prefer not to. Leaving the edges unpainted suggests that the work can, but doesn’t have to, be framed. Some artists never paint to the edge of the canvas. They even leave an unpainted border around the front of the painting. It all depends on the artist. Personally I don’t like to see a painting where the subject matter has been painted on the sides. It reminds me of those stretched canvas prints you buy at your local store for $20. I don’t like my paintings to look like wallpapers – so I usually don’t paint the sides of the canvas.)
Back to the framing:
In any case, you don’t need to frame your stretched canvas painting. In fact, you can create a gallery wall where you can display all kinds of paintings: framed and unframed. It all depends on your taste.
When thinking about framing your artwork, consider the following questions:
- Is this a stretched canvas painting?
- How big is the canvas?
- If I’m purchasing it for a specific wall, will it fit after I frame it? How much does the frame add to the size of the painting?
- How much am I ready to spend on framing? What are the linen liners for the painting and why are they used? (Linen liners are the canvas version of the mat. Like mats, linen liners are often used to add a decorative accent to the painting.)
I prefer to frame all of my paintings. If you’re thinking about getting your art framed, you might want to shop around for a good quality and reasonably priced frame. The frames can be expensive, depending on the quality and make. Sometimes you’ll pay more for the frame than you will for your smaller size painting.
Take a look at some differences between framed and unframed art work.

Their plates, glassware, and serving pieces reflect their different collecting styles (and ages) — and here are their choices:
Terry’s table is traditional. It starts with blue and white porcelain plates in the Floral pattern introduced by Spode in the 1830s. The sterling silver flatware was a wedding gift to a family member just after World War I. The pattern is Trianon. Pieces are marked “I.S. & Co.,” the mark of the International Silver Co., and the patent date, 1921. The water goblet is pressed glass from the 1880s. The silver-plated figural napkin ring, made about 1880, is decorated with Japanese fans.
Terry bought the sterling silver open salt with a cobalt blue glass liner while on her honeymoon. It was made in England in the 1830s. She paired it with a Victorian silver salt spoon and a Georgian-style pepper shaker. Serving pieces include a Victorian silver ladle and a Georgian long-handle stuffing spoon, both with English hallmarks, a hefty Victorian silver cold meat fork, and a silver fruit spoon made in the early 1800s that was engraved and gold washed during the Victorian era. The gravy dish, cover and underplate are cobalt blue porcelain decorated with gold chinoiserie and a bamboo-shaped handle. It was made by the Ott & Brewer Co., which operated Trenton, N.J., from 1871 to 1892. Terry also uses a cut glass relish dish from the American Brilliant Period.
Kim Kovel favors a midcentury tablescape. The dinnerware was designed by Eva Zeisel (1906–2011) for Hall China Co. The organic Tomorrow’s Classic set of shapes is one of Zeisel’s most popular. The plate pattern is Dawn, 1952, and the butter dish and vase are Fantasy, 1952–57. Water goblets are Block Crystal’s Watercolor-Green pattern from 1984. Classic Greek and Roman architecture is reflected in Kim’s stainless steel flatware with handles in the shapes of flattened columns—Doric capitals for spoons, Ionic for knives and Corinthian for forks. They were designed in 1992 by architect Robert Venturi for SwidPowell (a studio founded in 1982 that commissions international architects to design tabletop pieces) and made by Reed & Barton Co. Also reflecting columns are the candlesticks, designed by Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) for Baccarat. They’re called Bougeoir Nusku from Baccarat’s 2002 Rencontre Collection. The backdrop is a tablecloth woven in the 1950s.

Stipa gigantea adds grace and beauty in the garden. Stipa gigantea is a herbaceous perennial of which the most distinguishing feature is its size, as it can reach impressive heights of 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters) with a similar spread. The clumping nature of this grass creates an attractive fountain-like form, with arching, slender, and feathery panicles that sway gracefully in the wind. The inflorescences emerge in late spring or early summer, presenting a golden hue that illuminates the landscape, hence its common name “Golden Oat grass.”
In the world of garden plants, Stipa gigantea stands tall both literally and figuratively. Commonly known as Giant Feather Grass or Golden Oat grass, this magnificent ornamental grass hails from the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia, captivating gardeners and landscape enthusiasts with its elegant appearance and adaptability. Standing out among its contemporaries, Stipa gigantea has become a favored choice for those seeking to add drama, movement, and grace to their outdoor spaces.
Stipa gigantea is a herbaceous perennial grass belonging to the Poaceae family. Its most distinguishing feature is its size, as it can reach impressive heights of 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters) with a similar spread. The clumping nature of this grass creates an attractive fountain-like form, with arching, slender, and feathery panicles that sway gracefully in the wind. The inflorescences emerge in late spring or early summer, presenting a golden hue that illuminates the landscape, hence its common name “Golden Oats.”
One of the most appealing aspects of Stipa gigantea is its adaptability to various growing conditions. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate some light shade, making it a versatile addition to a wide range of garden styles. As for soil preferences, this grass is not too demanding, as long as the soil is well-draining. It can handle sandy, loamy, or clay soils, but it dislikes excessive moisture, so avoiding waterlogged areas is essential.
Once established, Stipa gigantea is relatively low-maintenance, needing minimal watering and fertilization. This attribute makes it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and sustainable garden designs, where water conservation is a priority.
Stipa gigantea’s impressive size and graceful movement make it a focal point in any garden or landscape design. Its verticality allows it to be used as a striking backdrop for smaller plants, while its airy, transparent structure creates a sense of lightness and depth. Planted in groups or as a solitary specimen, this grass can enhance the overall aesthetic and provide year-round interest, as the golden panicles age to a lovely straw color in autumn and persist through winter.
In larger landscapes, Stipa gigantea can be effectively incorporated into meadow or prairie-style plantings, where its flowing forms mimic the natural rhythm of the wild. Moreover, it complements contemporary and modern gardens by adding a touch of wildness and movement amidst structured elements.
The versatility of Stipa gigantea lies not only in its adaptability to different growing conditions but also in its ability to harmonize with a wide array of companion plants. It forms beautiful contrasts when planted alongside bold, colorful perennials such as Salvia, Echinacea, or Kniphofia. The soft, feathery texture of the grass juxtaposed with the solid, vibrant blooms creates a visually arresting display.
For a more subdued and tranquil palette, Stipa gigantea pairs gracefully with lavender, catmint, or Russian sage. These combinations exude a sense of serenity and relaxation while still showcasing the striking silhouette of the grass.
In late winter or early spring, Stipa gigantea benefits from cutting back its old foliage to make way for the fresh growth of the new season.

That means its risk of damage is probably much higher than you’d like.
Choosing the right cover to keep your watch safe without interfering with performance or ruining your style can be tough. This list has some of the best cases we’ve found with a variety of features to suit any wearer’s needs. Once your watch is protected, make sure you check out the best Apple Watch apps as well.
Monocarbon Real Carbon Fiber Case
If you want to avoid placing a cover over your watch face, but you still want that extra protection, try the Monocarbon Fiber case. Its extremely lightweight body of 0.7 grams is constructed with genuine carbon fiber material. Its glossy finish fits snugly and looks stylish on your wrist. You can get this case for Series 4 and 5 watches in both sizes. Each unit fits your watch precisely and promises to enhance your smartwatch experience and appearance. It comes in glossy black only.
RhinoShield Bumper Case
RhinoShield’s thin, light bumper case — at just 1.9mm thin and 4 grams — provides an impact-resistant polymer exterior that gives you the ultimate in drop protection up to 4 feet, for your Apple Watch Series 4 and 5. The case rises just slightly above the screen surface to protect your watch face from damaging impacts. Precise cutouts provide full access to the watch’s digital crown, heart rate sensor, and charger. The case comes in a variety of colors to complement your watch strap.
The Supcase TPU protects your Apple Watch in the most minimal way possible. When it’s on your watch face, you don’t even know it’s there, as the built-in screen protector shields your watch from dust, fingerprints, scratches, and bumps. Precise cutouts let you easily access all controls, buttons, sensors, and watch features. The flexible TPU case protects against damage without camouflaging your watch’s good looks or adding bulk. Just snap it on and go. It comes in a two-pack for both 40mm and 44mm sizes.
Catalyst Waterproof Case
Engineered for adventure, Catalyst’s Waterproof Case for Apple Watch Series 4 is designed to protect your watch wherever you go and whatever you do. The case features 360-degree protection. It maintains full function IP68 waterproof protection at 330 feet (100m) and MIL-STD 810G drop protection up to 6.6 feet (2m). You get direct access to your touch screen even though it’s protected from water, dust, dirt, and snow. A raised bezel protects the screen from routine scratches and bumps. The case’s acoustic technology promotes crisp, clear audio. Not only is the case rugged, but it also comes with a comfortable hypoallergenic silicone band. The ECG functionality does not work with the waterproof case on. Similar cases for previous Apple Watch models are also available.
Sunkeyou TPU for Apple Watch
The Sunkeyou is a thin protective TPU bumper case for all generations of Apple Watch. Its curved edges offer full protection with a soft, durable, shockproof, and waterproof shield. It’s engineered with multiple plating processes to prevent the case from fading and provides easy access to all functional watch buttons and ports so you can charge your watch directly without having to remove the case. The cover is easy to install and remove. It comes in six colors to coordinate with your watch strap, or you can buy a four-pack with assorted colors.
Yushuang Apple Watch Case
If you go around banging your hands and arms into everything, your Apple Watch will appreciate the protection it gets from this bumper-style, shock-proof, black, TPU case. Its raised bezel shields the watch face and sports a simple, rugged but effective style and function. The sides sit a bit higher than the surface of the watch and precise cutouts ensure that the case does not interfere with any of the watch’s buttons or controls. You do not have to remove the case to charge the timepiece and there’s no need for a film or glass screen protector. It comes in both 40mm and 44mm sizes.
Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Apple Watch Case
This shock-resistant case protects your Apple Watch like it’s wearing a suit of armor. It features a matte black frame made from durable, flexible TPU with fashionable faux carbon fiber accents and a gunmetal clasp. While fitting snugly, the case has tactile buttons and precise cutouts for all watch functions. The 1.2mm border around the screen shields the watch face from contact with hard surfaces. It comes bundled with a flexible strap. A similar version of this case is also available for previous versions of the Apple Watch.
Smiling Black Case for Apple Watch
If you’re looking for an ultra-slim protective case for your Apple Watch, the Smiling Black Case is a good way to go. Available for both the 44mm and the 40mm models, the case is constructed with anti-scratch TPU and has a built-in screen protector. Precise cutouts let you access all watch functions, buttons, and ports while covering the front and curved edges of the watch to protect against scratches, drops, and bumps. The front cover measures 0.3mm and the case weighs 0.5 ounces so it adds practically no bulk. You won’t even know it’s there. If you own a Series 3 watch, you can buy this same case for it.
X-Doria Defense Bumper for Apple Watch
Your Apple Watch will be impervious to threats once it’s wrapped in the X-Doria Defense Bumper Apple Watch case and screen protector. Its metal frame is chip-resistant, and the tempered glass cover’s play-through design allows you to fully use your device while it’s protected in its case. It has a shock-absorbent rubber interior that holds your watch tightly and is available for Series 4 and some older Apple Watch models.
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Rugged Protective Case for Apple Watch
If you’re a rugged outdoorsman, look no further than the Unicorn Beetle Pro—it’s ready to take on activities from rough mountain bike rides to sweltering runs. This case protects your Apple Watch incredibly well while keeping it completely functional, with all buttons easily reachable. Its raised bezel offers shock absorption and damage protection, and the snap-on design is simple to put on. The case has an anti-scratch, built-in watch band in multiple colors, and two-tones to finish the look.
Viqiv Bling Protective Face Bumper Case
There might be times when you want to dress up your Apple Watch a bit. For these occasions, the Viqiv transforms almost any Apple Watch model into a unique piece of jewelry. Its lightweight crystal rhinestone cover and extra sparkles around the watch face will ensure that you stand out and light up the night. The watch case is simple to put on—just clip it over your watch without even taking off the band. Vacuum plating gives color to the strong plastic frame to make a distinctive look for any event, and the cover is available in gold, rose gold, pink, black, and silver. Be aware that this case is not waterproof. It’s an excellent choice for customizing your watch’s appearance, but if you’re mainly after protection, you’ll want to consider some other models. | design |

The use of lacquer for the construction or decoration of a variety of vessels, furniture and other utilitarian objects, such as boxes for cosmetics or food storage was already known in the early Chinese dynasties. This early phase was dominated by brown, red and black lacquers, which were usually painted or had an inlaid decoration. Red lacquer with carved decorations dominated during the Qing Dynasty, however, use of other colours continued.
Lacquer is a resin collected from the trunk of the rhus vernicifera, which grows mainly in southern India. This liquid, which has the ability to dry quickly even in a humid atmosphere, is cleaned and painted easily and waterproofs and protects the surface of the articles on which it is spread. The liquid lacquer is painted in successive layers onto a wooden, clay or fabric core in order to create the object that the artist is constructing. Often more than a hundred layers of lacquer are required to create an object in a basic colour. Frequently, though, different colours are used alternately, so that, with suitable engraving, a two-colour or multi-coloured surface is achieved. | design |

Fashion designer and journalist Renee Cafaro is well aware of these gaps in the fashion industry, which is why she has committed to providing high-quality clothes for plus sizes 16–32. With RCA Public Label, Renee brings a ready-to-wear line that serves the style needs of curvy women.
RCA Public Label is the debut ready-to-wear brand under the Renee Cafaro Atelier umbrella. Clothes from this label are proudly New York City-made. Renee makes it along with her team of BIPOC New Yorkers. Aiming to be more sustainable in their practice and revitalize the garment industry, all materials are purchased locally. From materials, patterns, to production, every aspect of the garments is made in New York. Local artisans are also fairly compensated for their work.
In 2009, Renee Cafaro dreamed of a dress that was stylish, versatile, and sexy. While her thinner friends had a lot of options, she barely had anything that would fit the bill. Finally, after years on the backburner, Renee’s dream dress was brought to life.
The designer shared, “I call it the Convertible Dress because it truly does it all! The dress has an adjustable hemline and straps, which means you can wear the dress in 6 ways. It also has built-in support for DDD+ cups with the incorporated moisture-wicking flat-packing bra.”
The Convertible Dress is so versatile and unique that RCA Public Label has filed a patent for the dress. Renee explained, “I put a lot of thought into the functional details of the dress. There are pockets and a hidden segment so you can add length to the back of the skirt. I have received a lot of feedback from satisfied customers saying they love this dress’s fit and craftsmanship. They call it a game-changer, and I could not be happier that they love this dress as much as I do.”
The Convertible Dress is available in three different iterations at RCA Public Label. The Red Convertible Dress is for ladies who want to make a bold statement with their outfits. This is made specifically for DDD to H cups. Women looking for a more appropriate dress for the festive season can go for the Velvet Sequin Convertible Dress. Made with black stretch lightweight velvet and covered in sequins, this dress is perfect for parties all year round. Finally, the Missy Convertible Dress features the same designs but is for women with smaller curves.
Renee Cafaro is fighting for plus-size consumers to have better clothing options. With RCA Public Label, she hopes that plus-size women will start to invest more in high-quality and locally made wardrobe classics that will stay in style for years to come.
“Most of the clothes available on the market for plus-sized individuals seem to fall into the extremes of clubby, fast-fashion or frumpy,” Renee said, “And I want to provide women with an option that will make them feel sexy and classy.”
RCA Public Label is the ready-to-wear brand of plus-size clothing under Renee Cafaro Atelier. Their patent-pending Convertible Dress is available in several sizes. For more information, you can visit their official website or follow them on Instagram. | design |

Dressage saddles keep the rider neatly balanced and comfortably upright so they can focus on cuing their horse effectively. A well-fitted dressage saddle makes all the difference in dressage training!
Here are some ways in which dressage saddles are uniquely designed to support the rider:
- A deeper seat holds the rider in.
- Padded flaps and knee rolls keep the rider’s legs from shifting or moving forward.
- Longer flaps and stirrups give the rider more balance and poise.
Smith-Worthington Maxx Medium Dressage Saddle – Used
The Maxx line holds up nicely over time and will last for many years to come. Check out this gently used one that’s on sale for a fraction of its original price!
The Smith-Worthington Difference
If you’re in need of a beautiful and well-built dressage saddle, Smith-Worthington is a brand you can trust. They incorporate over 200 years of saddle making knowledge, along with some of the world’s finest materials in their saddles.
Here are some of the benefits of choosing a Smith-Worthington saddle:
- Gussetted panels with virgin wool flock stuffing so you can properly fit the saddle to your horse.
- “Fired” (pre-stretched) pure linen webbing ensures that the seat never sags – you’ll sit in a “hammock” of web and never hit the steel bars of the tree.
- Deeply recessed stirrup bars nearly eliminate stirrup leather bulge under the skirts.
- Made in England. | design |

Pockets are an easy thing to add to robes – so here’s my guide to adding pockets, especially for people who don’t often sew.
- The easiest pocket
Cut a square of fabric (or a rectangle, depending on what size/shape pocket you want)
Fold over the edges and iron them down
When all the edges are ironed place it against the inside of your robe, wherever you’d like it to be, nice side out. (A good place for a pocket is on the lining beside the zipper where there are two layers of fabric. This means you won’t see any of your stitches from the outside of your robe.)
Pin it in place, and sew the pocket to the lining. You can use a simple running stitch for this. Be sure to leave the top seam unstitched! And voila, you have a pocket.
- A simple pocket if you have pocket holes
Some robes have openings in the seams that allow you to reach into the pocket of your pants. But not everyone wears pants with their robes, so if you’d like to make a pocket for these robes, you can do so like this:
Cut a piece of fabric that’s the width of the pocket opening, and twice as long. Flip over the ends and iron them flat. Fold the piece of fabric in half.
One side of the fabric will be a fold that doesn’t need stitching. The side opposite that will be your ironed edge. Ignore both those edges and sew the other two edges together with a running stitch. So in this photo, that’s the top and bottom of my square.
Pin the pocket you’ve made to the inside of the opening in your robes, like a little pouch. With a running stitch or over stitch, sew the ironed ends of the pocket to the pocket-hole of your robes. Voila, you have a pocket!
There are obviously much more advanced ways to do this – you can rip the seams on your robes and insert pockets; you can make pockets using a sewing machine; you can make differently sized and shaped pockets. But if you just need a little something to stow your keys and a granola bar, and your sewing skills are next to none, this is one you can go! | design |

Having worked on large-scale projects in different countries, Barea has developed a broad architectural design background, as well as the talent to deliver projects with a sensitive and innovative approach.
- Qualified Architect. UEM.
- Qualified Architect. Polythecnic University of Milan.

WHO WE ARE
DESIGN is not what we do, Is how we LIVE
In 2012, Barea founds the practice, a group of talented and experienced architects committed to deliver design-led solutions that improve the quality of our lives and inspire other architects and generations.
“Every architectural concept is explored, tested and refined again and again driven by the desire to deliver buildings which are as functionally efficient as they are visually stunning”
THE SOUL OF YOUR PROJECT
The quality of our lives is directly affected by the quality of the spaces we live in. With the right questions, we capture the soul of the project as an inspiration to create spaces that are uniquely tailored to their context and the needs of the end user.
Creating not just an image, but a place.
FUNCTION & WELLBEING
by PEOPLE and for PEOPLE
Our philosophy is to design spaces that create a holistic experience out of your daily activities. Through a deep analysis of the function of the building and the needs of the end user, we provide different and flexible solutions that will change the way we work, enjoy and live. Solutions where wellbeing meets architecture.
Buildings by people and for people.
SIMPLICITY meets EMOTION
Emotion, lightness and formal purity, are the starting point to generate spaces with an aura of delicacy and sophistication.
Spaces, that go through a process of aesthetic and constructive simplification, which culminates when not only there is nothing else to add, but nothing left to take away.
“The perfect aesthetic is not the one that arises from the architect’s taste, but the one inspired by the emotion that the space must convey”
HOW WE DO IT
ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN + BIM solutions
The use of BIM methodology optimizes the technical documentation process, guaranteeing flexibility to changes in the design, as well as a perfect coordination with other disciplines as MEP services or Structural design. The generation of a 3d parametric model that evolves in parallel along the entire design process enables real time control of the elements included in the project.
We guarantee a perfect understandig of the building regardless of its complexity. The client has the possibility to comment on the design when exploring the building on their computer or mobile device, ensuring effective and interactive communication, an integral part of our philosophy. | design |

Particular focus will be on residential and light commercial building applications.
Various aspects of DC electrical systems have been studied. These analyses suggest that multiple benefits could be achieved from using DC:
- Easier and more-efficient integration with renewable sources and electric vehicles
- Improved efficiency and control of motors, appliances, electronics, and other technologies
- Improved reliability at a lower capital cost
- Elimination of AC power quality problems
- Easier integration of electricity storage (batteries, capacitors)
- A unique opportunity for worldwide interoperability, voltage, and connector standards
For ZNE buildings, the use of DC power has the potential to reduce the amount of on-site generation necessary, facilitate the use of energy storage, and more easily tie to electric vehicles, while saving energy lost in power conversions.
This collaborative project will significantly expand knowledge for the various applications of DC power, focusing on new residential construction and residential subdivisions, as well as retrofits of residential and commercial buildings, including design of AC-DC hybrid systems.
The project will be organized in two phases:
- The first phase will interview stakeholders and analyze available state, national, and international information on DC power in buildings and microgrid applications. The project team will interview customers and conduct a workshop with stakeholders, including end-users, designers, builders, industry, and utilities to understand industry and customer choices, barriers, and codes, and policy needs for DC systems. A summary report from the first phase of the project will provide a comprehensive collection of public data and analysis of existing DC buildings, subdivisions, communities, and other applications. It will also identify appropriate end-use applications for DC power, barriers to adoption of DC power, codes and standards issues, and an assessment of customer, builder, and utility acceptance of DC systems.
- The second phase will use the information from the first phase to optimize the design and evaluate the costs, benefits, or drawbacks of DC and AC-DC hybrid systems for residential and commercial zero net energy buildings, both for new construction and retrofit. The project team will develop design templates for DC or AC-DC hybrid systems, and analyze the relative efficiencies using manufacturer’s published efficiency data and/or limited lab evaluations. Savings and costs for key end use applications for DC power (e.g., motors, adjustable-speed drives, lighting, electronics, and plug loads) will be estimated. The team will then develop case studies describing other demonstration results. The project findings will summarize the technical and economic feasibility, barriers, market acceptance, reliability, and operational advantages for DC and AC-DC hybrid systems for buildings, subdivisions, and communities. | design |

As someone who has in the past, both worked as an event florist and dabbled in buying and selling mid-century glass I have a lot of vases. I've long been an admirer of LSA International's beautiful glassware and have several of their pieces in my vase collection at home, so I'm delighted to welcome them as a new sponsor here at Design Hunter and wanted to share some of the newest additions to their collection with you.
Still a privately owned UK company, LSA International was founded some 40 years ago by the Lubkowski and Saunders families, who still own it today. For the past 20 years it has been steered under the creative directorship of Monika Lubkowska-Jones, daughter of co-founder Janusz Lubkowski.
Monika designs all of the pieces produced by LSA International, (and they currently launch around 250 new designs each year), which gives the range a consistency, coherence and sense of continuity.
Lotta range - LSA International
I particularly like the Lotta collection, one of LSA International's best selling ranges, which combines the warmth of wood with simple clean lines. They have just launched a number of new colourways and additional pieces, including an elegant decanter set and vases that double as lanterns. Each piece has an untreated ash base with a soft undulating grain that is perfect for a modern rustic look.
Organza range - LSA International
Also new for AW2013 is the Organza collection, inspired by the fabric it takes its name from. Like almost all of the company's glassware each piece is individually mouth blown and hand finished by skilled artisans. A diamond wheel is used to add texture through the creation of a strata of decorative cuts that replicate the creases and pleats of fabric or the chiselling of wood. | design |

Welcome To Runway Sunday
Runway Sunday is a multi-brand Pop-Up retailer.
While most designers have an on-line presence, a Pop-Up store allows the customer to touch and experience the product they would usually only see on-line. It is a sensory experience. Shopping in itself is therapeutic and customers should not necessarily be left feeling traumatised having seen everything and nothing that big retailers and over- crowded markets have to offer.
Enter Runway Sunday. We created this platform with both the designer and customer in mind. We promote opportunities for emerging, established contemporary-modest designers, slow fashion or artisanal brands and artist to engage their customers in creative Pop-Up environments across the country.
We carefully curate the brands that exhibit in our Pop-Up stores to ensure our customers receive a quality product that is trendy yet affordable. Our Pop-Ups usually last anything from 3 hours to 3 months, dependent on location and demand.
Pop-Up store have become the new normal in retail and we look forward to seeing you on our Runway.
It started when,
I grew up around the din of sewing machines, my grandfather was a well-known tailor, my grandmother was a seamstress and my mom was a sample hand in a design room. I had an early penchant for beautiful fabrics and outlandish styles and 90% of what I wore (then and now) was made by my mom. I never grew tired of designing and my mom never grew tired of making it. I loved everything about it. Unfortunately, it was not a career I could pursue at the time unless I wanted to start as a garment cleaner in a clothing factory. I wanted to work in an office, somewhere in the City, wearing nice clothes.
Your dreams have a way of surfacing while you’re busy doing other things, and so many kids and career moves later, I decided to take what I love (fashion) with what I know (business) and create a platform to showcase some of the new and aspiring design talent around Cape Town and the world.
I hope you will enjoy this journey with me as we take-off and explore what is out there in the world of fashion, the people behind the brands, fashion events, and fashion dreams never too late to be realised.

It serves as a crucial link between devices in a variety of applications, ranging from telecommunications to aerospace. Understanding the diverse mounting methods available for SMA connectors is essential for optimizing their use within different contexts. Let’s delve into the various mounting options: cable connection, PCB mount, and panel mount.
Connecting SMA connectors to cables can be accomplished through soldering or compression methods. Soldering involves establishing a connection between the connector’s contact and the center conductor of the cable using a soldering process. On the other hand, the compression method involves not only soldering the connector contact to the center conductor but also applying compression to firmly secure the cable within the connector. Compression is particularly efficient, making it a preferred choice for flexible cables. Conversely, soldering is typically employed with semi-flexible cables due to their design and characteristics.
Integrating SMA connectors into printed circuit boards (PCBs) offers two primary mounting options: through-hole and surface-mount technology (SMT). These connectors are often equipped with gold or tin plating to facilitate the soldering process. Through-hole mounting entails inserting the connector’s leads through holes in the PCB and soldering them on the opposite side, ensuring a robust connection. Alternatively, surface-mount SMA connectors are directly affixed to the PCB’s surface using solder paste and reflow soldering techniques. This approach supports more efficient manufacturing processes and accommodates smaller form factors.
Panel mount SMA connectors play a pivotal role in bridging external and internal components within devices. They are strategically mounted on panel boxes to facilitate connections that transcend device boundaries. Two common approaches for panel mounting include utilizing a flange mechanism secured with screws and employing threads and nuts to firmly fasten the connector to the panel. These connectors are often designed with waterproofing features, safeguarding the connection against environmental factors.
Having explored the intricate details of the three primary SMA connector mounting methods—cable connection, PCB mount, and panel mount—it becomes remarkably evident that the versatility of SMA connectors goes beyond just internal configurations. The choice of an appropriate mounting technique empowers engineers and designers to precisely tailor their use of SMA connectors, seamlessly aligning them with the specific requirements of each unique project. This intentional approach ensures not only the achievement of optimal performance but also the establishment of an unswerving foundation of reliability.
Should you require further clarification or have additional inquiries about SMA connectors and their applications, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Setting Up FLIP First things first. Set your desktop to Technical Windows > Desktop > Technical A. Creating a Water Tank Navigate to the Particle Fluid tab in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Left click on the FLIP Tank Solver [Fig. 1] Houdini will ask you to place it. Just go ahead and place it anywhere and then in the parameters window reset the center parameters to 0,0,0. Go up one level in the node window to the obj level and drop into the AutoDopNetwork node by double clicking on it. Make sure the fliptank node is selected. In the second half of the parameter window click on the Guides tab. Once that is select click on the Particles tab below it. [Fig. 2] Change the Visualization parameter to Particles. Now take a look at the Particle Separation parameter in the properties tab. This number determines the spacing in between the particles. For a more impressive simulation choose a lower number. The lower the number the greater the amount of particles, so the sim will be a higher resolution. Right now we want to develop the look of the effect so I suggest a higher number. This means fewer particles and much faster sim times. Don't worry once we get the look, speed and motion down I'll show you my settings for a higher resolution sim that will get you a beautiful result by the end of this chapter. Quick Note: Particle Separation Higher Number = Less Particles = Lower Resolution = Faster Sims [Use for look development] Lower Number = More Particles = Higher Resolution = Slower Sims [Use later for final output] For now set the value to 2. Go back to the obj level of the node window. Drill into the fluidtank_initial node by double clicking on it. In this node we can change the size of the fluid container to cover the area and size we need for our objects to move through. Go ahead and change the Size parameters to 150, 5, 150 This should give us some nice coverage. Now follow with me This might seem a little strange but right-click and copy the Size: Y parameter (Copy Parameter) Right click on the Center: Y parameter and select Paste Copied Relative Reference and then add /2 to the expression. In the end the box should look like this: ch("sizey")/2 [Fig. 3] Now change the Size parameter to 85. Notice how our center now stays in the actual center of the fluid volume. Now change the Water Level Parameter to 15. This value tell us how deep the fluid will be in the fluid container. So right now we have an 85 unit high tank with water filled up to 15 units. So this is a pretty big tank filled with a fairly large volume of liquid. We want to make this scale as close to life sized as possible. In Houdini the simulations are extremely accurate so the closer we get to a real world scale the more real world life like the water will appear to be in our final renders. B. Set-up a Collision Object To see how large the scale of our water tank is let's add a default sphere to the scene. Now go back to the obj level of the node window. Hit [Tab] and type: Sphere to drop a sphere into the scene. Pretty small isn't it. Let's scale up the sphere by 10. Double click on the Sphere node to drill into it. Set the Radius parameter of the sphere to 10, 10, 10. Change the Primitive type to Polygon Mesh Set both the Rows and Columns parameters to 20. Hit [Tab] and type: transform to drop a transform node into the scene below the sphere1 node. We are still inside the Sphere geometry object. Connect the Sphere1 output to the input on the transform1 node. Let's translate the sphere down to about -30 in the Y-axis. Let's also scale the sphere in the X-axis by 2, the Y-axis by 0.5, and Z-axis by 5. [Fig. 4] So now we have a nice flat object we can use to collide with the water in the tank. So let's get to it and see some magic. C. Colliding with a Dynamic Object Go back to the obj level of the node panel. Make sure you have the sphere Geo selected. Navigate to the Rigid Bodies tab and click on the RBD Object button. [Fig. 5] Double click on the AutoDopNetwork node to drill inside. We see that Houdini has created some nodes for us. It is calling the sphere object, telling the sphere object to be processed, and feeding this knowledge into the rigidbodysolver. [Fig. 6] You can hit play if you want on the timeline and it's not very exciting so far. Right now the sphere begins to fall with gravity. At least we know the rigidbodysolver is doing its job. Select the sphere node seen in [Fig. 6] and give it some velocity in the Y-Axis. I'm going to give it a velocity of 30. Feel free to play with the values. Hit play on the timeline and see the results. We get a nice looking effect here when the object comes out of the water. It's even pretty cool to look at when the object falls back down into the tank and creates a secondary splash. However maybe this is not the effect we are looking for and may want to have more control over the object and the sim. D. Colliding with a Static Object Let's revert back to our previous setup before we introduced a rigid body solver. In the AutoDopNetwork go ahead and delete the three nodes seen in [Fig. 6] The sphere, the merge, and the rigidbodysolver. Go back up to the top level obj window and double-click on the sphere object to drill inside. Go ahead and delete the rest1 and dopimport1 nodes. This will revert us back to where we were before we added the rigidbodysolver. Hit [Tab] and type: transform to drop a transform node into our sphere object. Connect the output of the previous transform to the input in the new one. Rename the first transform to Initial_State to remind us of its purpose; to provide the scaling and translation we needed to get the object into its initial state prior to animation. Rename the new second transform to Animation_Transform so we remember this node controls the animation of the object. Make sure your animation slider is set back to frame 1. Now hold down [Alt] and left-click on the Y-Axis box in the Translate parameter. This will add a keyframe. As a little side not if you want to remove this keyframe hold down [Ctrl] and left-click to remove it. Go to frame 100 and set the Y-Axis to 100 and set a key frame. Hit play on the timeline and you can see we have a simple animation on our sphere, but nothing is colliding. Let's fix that. Go back to the obj level of the Node window. Select the sphere geo object. Now instead of clicking on the RBD Object in the Rigid Bodies tab, click on the Static Object button instead. [Fig. 7] Drill into the AutoDopNetwork and notice the three nodes this function created for us. Just like with the RBD Object. Except this time we see the staticsolver. If we press play now we still do not see any fluid simulation. Take a look down in the parameters of our sphere in the AutoDopNetwork [Fig. 7] Check the box next to the Use Deforming Geometry so this attribute is On. It was broken before because the solver was simulating from what was essentially a non-moving piece of geometry. The solver could only 'see' the sphere. By turning Use Deforming Geometry on the solver will now check the geometry and all of its deformations every frame and call that information back to the solver. Now run the simulation again by pressing play. We have a nice splash. We do have a problem with this new method however. The particles aren't inheriting any of the velocity of the object. The particles are not really sticking to the sphere, and it doesn't look like there is very much friction. The splash is there, but doesn't look very realistic. It can look nicer so let's see what we can do to improve the simulation. Select the fliptank node in the AutoDopNetwork and change the Particle Separation parameter to a value of 1.5. This is one of the first parameters we set at the very beginning of the tutorial in section A. This is a little weird so follow with me and I'll post a picture of the attribute. [Fig. 9] Select the flipsolver node in the AutoDopNetwork. In the parameters window select the Volume Motion tab. This will reveal more tabs below in the secondary row of tabs select the Collisions tab. This tab will have an attribute called Stick on Collision. Check this box On. This parameter, if we hover over it, causes the fluid's velocity to match the collision velocity of the collision objects in proximity to it. Set the Stick Scale to .5. Set the Normal Scale to 3. The normal scale is telling the flipsolver is try to match the direction and velocity of the normal while sticking to the object. Change the Velocity Type to Point. At the top row of the parameter tabs select the Particle Motion tab. Then in the secondary row of tabs select the Reseeding tab. Uncheck the Reseed Particles parameter.
When this box is checked the solver will create more particles in the sim where it sees a scarcity of particles. This is usually used to avoid pockets of air and to provide a smoother surface. | design |

I saw the wall sections spread across the Malta country-side as if it were a giant patchwork quilt – made of stone. I had seen these walls before, in another country but as long and hard as I stared at the walls and tried to remember where – the answer did not come. I wondered how long it took to build these walls of rubble. Patience and limestone, those are the ingredients to rubble walls, there’s nothing holding them together but the skillful stacking and weight of themselves. This was yet another architectural wonder of Malta.
Unlike the unclear origins of the Maltese balconies, the stone walls were most definitely started by Arabic influence and they serve multiple purposes. They were used to section off land ownership. Often when a father passed he had to split up his land between his many children (most families had more than 10 kids), the walls sectioned off the land. In addition the walls were used for farming; specifically to avoid erosion. Water and wind is able to pass through but the walls trap the soil and prevents it from being carried away from the fields.
These walls may look simple, but trust me – they aren’t. Typically it takes great skill to build these dry stone walls; stones are carefully placed in double walled design, and filled in the middle with rubble. It mainly consists of erecting structures by using only gravity and friction as binding agents and the technique is thousands of years old.
One wouldn’t think that walls would be a staple of a country, but in Malta they are. Putting the architecture and agriculture aside, they are beautiful structures that are mesmerizing; they are works of art standing alone in the countryside. They add to the unique Maltese landscape; who says that rubble can’t be beautiful.

Ask any Tom, Dick or Harry on the street to name a fountain pen brand and chances are, even if they have no interest in the world of pens, that they will say Parker Pen. So, how did Telegraphy teacher George Safford Parker go from supplementing his teaching income by selling pens for the John Holland Pens Company to creating a brand of exceptional writing instruments which remains consistently in the top 10 luxury pen brands and top 10 ink manufacturers in the global market? Parker was one of the first brands with a global presence and is a household name that finds itself in the ‘favourites’ list of esteemed pen enthusiasts and experts not just the data driven reports.
A ‘Very Brief’ History of Parker Pens: Pre-Duofold
Parker Pens would go on to be an international company but held humble beginnings in Janesville, Wisconsin USA at the hands of a 25 year old George Safford Parker - a Man who through his teaching career had found himself spending more and more time providing repair services for his students pens. George began to identify some of the key issues with the pens on the market at that time and began tinkering with designs and mechanisms to create a superior tool.
Officially conceived in 1888 upon the application of Parker's first pen patent and the ethos of 'It will always be possible to make a better pen', Parker Pens was established and set to work creating pens with exemplary writing characteristics and avoided the usual pitfalls of pens which were prone to leakages. Just 6 short years later came the first major breakthrough for Parker with the invention of his pioneering anti-leak system the ‘Lucky Curve’. The ‘Lucky Curve’ had a massive impact on the pen market with Parker advertising the mechanism itself (even though it was unseen within the pen itself) rather than just the appearance and characteristics of the pen. The mechanism itself was a beautiful nod to nature with its capillary style filling mechanism which took inspiration from tall trees which draw up water from the root to sustain the entire living tree - but that's a discussion for another article!
When discussing the history of Parker Pens, it is often noted that their history is denoted as ‘pre’ and ‘post’ Duofold - highlighting the importance of the Duofold in setting Parker’s place in history.
By the early 20th Century, Parker had released his first limited editions, the Parker Snake Pen, inspired by the Art Nouveau movement and featuring Gold and Sterling Silver detailing. It is often reported that in 1908, the Parker factory in Janesville was the largest pen manufacturing facility in the world - although this is difficult to corroborate.
The outbreak of war in 1914 had a massive impact on the global economy as well as the massive impact on human life. Parker Pens was able to ensure financial success throughout the war due to their creation of the Trench pen. Awarded a contract by the U.S War department, the Trench pen held ink pellets in its barrel which would turn to liquid ink when mixed with fluid. In 1914, Parker also expanded the company to include his son Russell who would concentrate efforts on production and administration. The family business was further expanded in 1919 with George’s other son Kenneth joining the company, coinciding with the construction of a new headquarters building. In the years prior to Kenneth joining the Parker Pen Company, the Jack-Knife safety pen was introduced to their ever expanding pen lines and was the precursor to the Duofold. In 1918 Parker Pens celebrated their annual sales surpassing $1 million but, considering the challenges of the American (and global) economy, was a testament to the company’s dedication to products of excellence and commitment to continual adaptation and innovation - very much staying true to George’s original philosophy.
After the development of the Automatic Pencil (which would become the mechanical pencil) by Croatian engineer and inventor Slavoljub Eduard Penkala from 1906, Parker Pens introduced their own take on the mechanical Pencil in 1920. In the same year, distribution channels began to be established in Europe, Australia, India and the East.
Parker Duofold is Born: 1921
The Parker Pen Company had established themselves as a profitable company in their first 30 years of existence but it wasn’t until the introduction of the Duofold that Parker transformed into a market leading creator of writing instruments.
With much misinformation about the origins of the name ‘Duofold’ with some claims that it referred to the conversion of the pen into a desk pen or eyedropper are unfounded when we look to the original advertisements. The most compelling discussion regarding its origins relate to the popularity of the ‘duo’ prefix referring to a varied range of products, a term which was prominent in marketing at the time. The fold element of the name refers perhaps to the size of the pen which was twice the size of the majority of pens on the market - or you might say twofold.

The Duofold was an early example of the growth of the popularity of colour, rejecting the commonly held belief that the general public favoured a modest palette of plain black. The Parker Duofold opened up the market to the adoption of bold coloured celluloid pens which emerged in the years following the initial release of the Duofold.
Parker Duofold: An Anatomy
The initial Duofold design released in 1921, although an offshoot of the Parker Jack Knife Safety line, was a domineering 5.5 inches when capped. Created with an eye-catching bright red hard rubber with deep black hard rubber end pieces, the first Duofolds featured bandless caps. With a price-point of $7 (equivalent to around $100 or £77 today) they were certainly a premium luxury item and were representative of the excesses of the roaring 20’s in the United States. Although £77 today would not seem excessively expensive for a fountain pen, it was certainly no small amount considering the Parker Duofold cost 10% of the average weekly income for the USA at the time. For the same price of a Parker Duofold you could go to the pictures and watch Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Kid’ over 46 times!

Although it was common at that time for pens to be made from hard rubber (ebonite), it was less common for them to be bright red - which considering ebonite was only available in red or black is somewhat surprising. Well, not that surprising when it is considered that the dyes used in the rubber-making process to create the red hue tended to make the finished product somewhat brittle - an issue which was prevalent with the first Parker Duofolds that has led to a rarity of the original models availability to modern collectors.
The Duofold utilised the 1916 invention of Parker, the button-fill mechanism, which was designed to compete with rival company Sheaffer’s lever-filler which was leading the way with a sleeker pen design due to the lever being covered whilst capped. The button-fill mechanism created by Parker meant that levers were not an issue to be disguised and thus the filling mechanism was not an hindrance on the overall aesthetic of the pen itself.
The Parker Duofold was affectionately nicknamed the ‘Big Red’ due to its appearance. The Duofold was an instant success but there was a significant issue...the bandless cap. The lack of band meant that for the heavy handed writers or those who over-enthusiastically posted their pen, there was a tendency for the caps to crack and split. With a couple months of their release the Parker Duofold was withdrawn from sale and an attractive gold cap-band added to strengthen the pen. These were known as ‘raised-band’ Duofolds.
The opulence of the pricing and styling made the Parker Duofold a must-have item and its popularity remained high for several years with the original Big Red. Joining the original model was the Junior model which was half an inch shorter than the original, or Senior, model and the Lady’s Duofold which featured a ringtop instead of a pocket clip followed by the Duofold Special which was the same size as the Big Red but with a slimmer barrel diameter. Adaptations were relatively minor during the first 5 years of the Parker Duofold, however bigger changes would come in 1926.
Parker & the ‘Unbreakable Permanite’
Parker Pen production-lines, and those of other manufacturers for that matter, were forever changed with the introduction of celluloid. Sheaffer was the first company to begin manufacturing with celluloid in 1924 and so, not ones to back-down from a challenge, Parker took the strong, versatile and mouldable characteristics of celluloid, branded it ‘Permanite’ and began dramatically increasing design and colour options alongside the original Red and Black which was available in the galvanised rubber of the early Duofold lines.
Across the industry, pen designers began to unleash their artistic and creative sides aided by the new possibilities associated with celluloid as a material for manufacturing. Celluloid is essentially a class of thermoplastics created by combining nitrocellulose and camphor with dyes and other agents which allows for a huge variety of uses due to variations in the manufacturing and moulding process. Originally conceived in the late 19th Century, the formulation and processing of the material underwent many iterations before the pen manufacturing industry adopted it in the mid 1920’s.
Parker Duofold pens from a 1920s magazine advertisement
There are conflicting accounts of the ‘first’ colour to be released by Parker after the introduction of Permanite with some suggesting it was Jade Green to compete with Sheaffer’s ‘Jade Radite Lifetime Pens’ but these were initially not referred to as Duofolds but rather the ‘Black Tipped Jade’ although it would later be renamed as part of the Duofold family. Other accounts suggest that the attractive Lapis Lazuli Blue (blue and white pattern) was the first colour created that was not the traditional red or black, this argument stems primarily from the fact that the Jade pens were not named as Duofold until 1927. Irrespective of which came first, both the blue and green were incredibly popular alongside the third colour option, Mandarin Yellow. The Yellow Duofolds were wonderfully bright and bold, nostalgic perhaps of the impact of the Big Red when it was first released...there was an issue though. The dyes required to create the bright plastic had the secondary impact of making them very brittle, even more so than the red dyes in galvanised rubber which celluloid sought to replace. This of course means that the chances of coming across a mint condition yellow Duofold from the 1920s is rare. It is reported that had it not been for the insistence of George Parker himself, the Yellow Duofolds would not have been produced for anywhere near as long as they were (phased out in 1929) because of this issue.
It should be noted that the yellow dyes used in the creation of the celluloid cause the pen to be brittle from the outset, but an inherent flaw of celluloid is its degradation over time. Age causes the camphor molecules to be excreted due to unsustainable pressure which gives rise to the nitrocellulose molecules to rebind and crystallise, exposing the camphor to the environment allowing for sublimation (transition from solid to gas without becoming liquid) leaving behind brittle nitrocellulose.
For the majority of pens made from the ‘Unbreakable Permanite’, degradation would not be an issue, particularly as the process of degradation was not noted (across celluloid products as a whole, not solely fountain pens) until the late 1980’s. In fact, The Parker Pen company famously undertook publicity stunts to demonstrate the durability of their ‘Permanite’ pens which included throwing pens over the Grand Canyon and even dropping one out of an aeroplane from 3,000 feet.
End of a Decade, End of an Era: Parker Duofold Redesigned
1928 saw the introduction of the Moderne black and the Moderne Pearl (black lined pearl) as a deluxe model in the Parker Duofold collection. The deluxe aspect was signified with the addition of a third cap ring to the cap band. In fact, 1928 was the first and last time that two band models were produced, much like trees you can gauge the age of a Parker Duofold by counting its rings. The vest pocket and women’s models went from two cap bands to three and ‘regular’ sized pieces shifted from a singular thick cap band to two slim bands.
The end of 1929, the Parker Duofold line was completely redesigned with slimline, smooth, tapered ends inspired by the Art Deco movement which was gaining traction. Prior to this, Parker Duofold could be described as tubular and even angular with sharp right angles at the cap and barrel ends which had begun to feel dated. The transformation of the Duofold to be more in line with the style and aesthetics of the 1930’s also saw the introduction of further colour variety with Burgundy, Green and Pearl and Green and Black Pearl.
The redesign of the Parker Duofold was not enough for the company, who viewed the design as outmoded and tired. The Parker Duofold enjoyed a 12 year stint as the premier product of Parker but was demoted to the second tier upon the introduction of the Vacumatic in 1933. Designed as a replacement for the Duofold, the Vacumatic held twice the volume of ink as the Duofold (and other pens for that matter) and had the innovation of a visible ink reservoir. The Vacumatic was released in line with the reveal of the now famous Parker arrow clip designed by artist Joseph Platt.

The Parker Duofold was a bestseller but its importance for Parker should not be understated. The popularity of the Duofold lines and the variation within the collection meant that the Parker Catalogue could be streamlined, drastically reducing the number of different models available allowing for greater efficiency in the manufacturing process. Although the Duofold was supplanted by the Vacumatic, the Duofold remained popular - especially in Europe - and production continued on Parker’s Duofold throughout the 1930’s, albeit on a much smaller scale than before. The success of the Parker Duofold supported the expansion of Parker Pens and allowed for funds to be rerouted to research and development in a new way. 1931 saw the launch of the first product created by the Parker research and development team, after 1021 experiments ‘Quink’, or quick-drying ink, was available and made its mark (pun intended) as the first pen-cleaning ink that dries fast on paper and needs no blotter. The Duofolds which were produced throughout the latter half of the 1930’s, took style inspiration from the Vac, with slim and sleek designs prevailed and in 1940 the name ‘Duofold’ was revived, though the Classic Duofolds as we know them had had their moment in the sun.
The ‘modern’ Duofolds were produced well into the 1960s and were a steady seller in varying sizes, colours and designs but they very much chugged along quietly in the background with the award winning Parker 51, the Parker Jotter (sold 3.5 million in its first year) ballpoint, and even the emblematic arrow clip taking centre stage. In the 1970s a lower end pen dubbed the ‘Big Red’ named after the nickname of the original Duofold, was released but really the resurgence of popularity for the Duofold took place in the 1980s. The 80’s saw Parker restore the Duofold as its flagship offering and in celebration of the company’s centenary the Duofold Centennial Series was released with Fountain Pens, Rollerballs and Pencils. The success of the series supported the later introduction of the Duofold international line which was smaller than the Centennial but evoked the classic Duofold Design which the Centennial series had revived. The main difference in the Parker Duofolds created in the 1980s was the move away from the button filler mechanism to a converter/cartridge system, bringing Duofold into the 20th Century. Both the Centennial series and the International Lines were huge successes.
Why is the Parker Duofold Iconic?
A simple answer would be that the Parker Duofold remained true to George Safford Parker’s original ethos of making quality pens with exceptional writing characteristics and although there are some incredibly stylish models, for the most part Parker duofolds hold a quiet elegance which is understated and tasteful. The variety of variations which were born from the introduction of celluloid made for increased interest among collectors, both at the time of release and for contemporary enthusiasts.
Through every iteration of the Duofold, great care was taken to ensure that each element of the anatomy of the pen was of high quality and that style didn’t compromise the writing integrity of the piece. | design |

It is important that you understand furniture shopping 101 before you even think about heading to a furniture store. This will ensure that you know what you need to look for in the furniture that you are going to be buying.
Ergonomics Are Fundamental
One of the fundamentals of furniture shopping 101 is that you have to look at function and ergonomics before style. There is no point in having a piece of furniture that looks great in the room when you are unable to actually use it. To determine the ergonomics of the furniture, you have to consider how it is going to be used.
A good example of this will be your dining table chairs. You will want to have chairs that people can comfortably sit in for a number of hours. For this, you will have to ensure that they are ergonomic and comfortable so people do not feel discomfort when they sit on them.
Double Check The Dimensions
The pictures that you see of furniture will never be able to depict the true scale of the items correctly. This is something that you have to consider if you are going to be buying furniture online and not going into a store. However, if you are going to a furniture store, you still need to take note of the dimensions of the furniture and the room they are going into.
Before you look at furniture, you should measure the exact dimensions that you need. This will help you narrow down the options that you have when you buy and ensure that you are always buying the right furniture for the room. You should also check how the furniture will get to the destination room. There is no point in buying a sofa that will not fit through your door when it is delivered.
Do Not Be Afraid Of Going Bigger
There are a lot of people who are nervous about going for a larger item of furniture. This is something that you should not be afraid of if you have the space for it. If you understand the scale of your room correctly, the one piece of large furniture could be what you need to bring the room together.
When you place a bigger piece of furniture in the right place, it can make the room feel larger. However, if the room is already small or the furniture is not placed in the right place, it can make the room smaller. If you are unsure about the scale of the room, you might want to talk to the people at the furniture store as they should be able to help you.
There is a lot of information you have to consider when you are shopping for furniture. The most important is that you have to consider function before anything else and then double check the dimensions. You should also not be afraid of bigger items if you are sure you can balance them correctly. | design |

On top of this, there is a two-story tower crowned by a distinctive dome with a bulbous and fluted shape. From the interior perspective, the tower and dome create a single lofty space that was originally adorned with murals painted over a white plaster surface. The external design of the tower and base showcases various architectural elements, including grid-patterned facades, scalloped arches, entrances with three bays, projecting eaves, and an overall symmetrical layout. These architectural features are influenced by or closely resemble Mughal architectural styles.
This samadhi (tomb) serves as a memorial for Mahan Singh (r. 1770-92), the father of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who established the Sikh Empire. Mahan Singh ruled over the Sukerchakia Misl, which was one of the 12 Misls in the Punjab province during his lifetime. Prior to Ranjit Singh’s leadership, each Misl operated as an independent entity within the Sikh Confederacy. Mahan Singh joined forces with Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, the leader of the Ramgarhia Misl, and together they defeated the Kanheya Misl in the Battle of Batala. They also captured the formidable Rohtas Fort from the armies of Ahmad Shah Durrani, the founder of the Durrani Empire. Sadly, Mahan Singh passed away due to illness during the siege of Sodhra, located approximately 32 kilometers north of Gujranwala, while combating the Bhangi Misl in April 1790. | design |

Functional safety requirements should increase the rigour of the design engineering of a product, software element or system and be traceable to the appropriate standard e.g. IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
How To Show Functional Safety Compliance
The following are typical documents required to demonstrate functional safety compliance:
– Functional safety plan;
– Process Hazard Analysis (PHA);
– Determination of Safety Integrity Level (SIL);
– Safety Requirement Specification;
– Verification and validation plans;
– Functional Design Specification (FDS);
– Software Design Specification (SDS);
– SIL Verification;
– Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) / Site Acceptance Testing (SAT);
– Proof test procedures;
– Functional safety assessment;
– Operations and maintenance manual;
– Safety manual;
– Defect, non-conformance and demand reporting.
What inputs are required by FSES in order to conduct the Study?
Depending on the exact requirements of the study, the documentation will change. Upon award of contract FSES will provide the client with a list of the required inputs in order to conduct the study.
Will there be a Workshop?
If there is insufficient documentation available, a workshop may be required. The requirements for a workshop will also be dependent on the scope of work required by the client. This will be discussed with the client prior to award of contract.
What is the expected output of the Study?
On award of the study, FSES will review the available documentation and identify any shortfalls against the appropriate standards (i.e. IEC 61508 and IEC 61511). If required, a workshop will be facilitated, whereby the required information will be extracted from the relevant personnel in order to demonstrate compliance.
FSES will prepare a report describing the scope of work, a detailed methodology, along with all the requirements of the appropriate standards outlined and the relevant evidences documented to show compliance.
If part of the scope of work, FSES will also produce the required relevant procedures, processes, template documents and deliver training as required in order to show functional safety compliance.
FSES consultants have considerable experience in all of the above activities and can provide assistance in demonstrating functional safety compliance. This can be carried out for a single project or assistance can be given to create procedures, processes, template documents and deliver any required training to allow a company to demonstrate functional safety as a core competence.

The MacBook Air was made for portability but it falls short in some departments. Especially with competition like Microsoft Surface Pro 6, the question of which one is better comes to mind. Let us get into the depth by doing a MacBook Air vs. Surface Pro review.
|Microsoft Surface Pro 6
|13.3-inch, 2560 x 1600
|12.3-inch, 2736 x 1824
|Intel Core i5-8210Y
|Intel Core i5-8250U
|2 Thunderbolt 3, headphone
|USB 3.0, DisplayPort, Surface Connect, microSD, headphone
|12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches
|11.5 x 7.9 x 0.3 inches
|8 to 9 hours
|9 to 10 hours
|Space Gray, gold, silver
|Type Cover (black, burgundy, platinum, cobalt)
When it comes to design, Apple has always tried to keep it simple and sleek. The MacBook Air has become thinner in the updated version and weighs only 2.75 pounds. Despite being such as easily portable laptop, it is built well. The laptop is available in space gray, silver and gold colors. Just like the other Apple laptops, this one also has the butterfly keyboard that you might not like if you have not liked it before.
On the other hand, Surface Pro 6 has the trademark Microsoft aesthetic. The silver-gray exterior coupled with the robust build makes the laptop look and feel amazing, weighing only 2.4 pounds. Made of metal and glass, this machine is extremely elegant and smooth enough to give Apple laptops a run for their money. It features the Microsoft Precision touchpad which is very comfortable to type on and supports Windows 10 gestures.
If we have to choose a winner between the two in terms of design, we would crown the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 since it clearly has a sleeker and more comfortable design. And did we mention it comes in black too? Definitely a snatch.
As someone who needs to carry around their laptop from one place to another, you would prefer the Surface Pro 6 as it is more portable. Weighing only 2.4 pounds, it is much easier to carry than the 2.8 pound MacBook Air.
You can tell that the manufacturers did not pay much attention to this feature. Both the MacBook Air and the Surface Pro lack in this regard. The MacBook Air has a headphone jack and two Thunderbolt 3 ports.
The Surface Pro has a USB 3.0 port, a micro SD card reader, a headphone jack and a Display Port. But there is no USB-C port. There is no winner in this round as both the laptops are pretty much the same.
No matter which laptop you choose, you will need an adapter. This lack of ports in both the laptops makes them unsuitable for photographers, designers and videographers who need plenty of ports to work efficiently.
In this case, you have to decide what you want to opt for. The MacBook Air has a 13-inch screen with a 2560 x 1600-pixel screen resolution while the Surface Pro has a 12.3-inch screen with a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixels.
The Surface Pro is much brighter at 408 nits and has a yellowish tinge to the images while the MacBook Air, at 343 nits, has a clean white balance. If you want a brighter screen that shows you every detail on the screen, you would prefer the Surface Pro.
One thing that you would notice about the Surface Pro is that it has a slightly higher saturation in its display. For example, if you watch a movie, the smaller details will be much more visible but they will also have a yellowish tinge to them.
On the other hand, the white balance of MacBook Air makes the images seem much cleaner and neutral. However, if you are a movie-lover and you want a rich display, you would like the Surface Pro.
While both the laptops feature Intel’s 8th generation CPUs, Apple’s CPU runs on dual-core since it is from the Y-series. On the other hand, the Surface Pro’s CPU is from the U-series and has quad-cores. What this means in the normal-people language is that the Surface Pro is packed with much more power than the MacBook Air and it runs faster.
So, it is settled then. The MacBook Air cannot live up to the power and performance on the Surface Pro. However, if there is one thing which the MacBook Air does supersede the Surface Pro is the 256GB PCIe SSD which has a much faster file transfer rate than the Surface Pro’s 256GB SSD.
Overall, we can say without a doubt that the Surface Pro is an evident choice for someone who looks for higher performance. If you are a graphic designer, editor or filmmaker, you would like the Surface Pro while students and office workers can work with the MacBook Air just fine.
If you have ever used MacBook Air, you would know how unreliable and difficult the keyboard is. The same can be said about the newer model. According to Apple, they have made a few changes to the keyboard but as a user, you would not notice much of a difference.
On the other hand, the Surface Pro’s keyboard is a delight to work with. It can be detached and has 1.3mm travel in the keys. Also, when you are typing, you would know if the key has been pressed as the keys give off a bump upon being pressed.
With the MacBook Air, you are more prone to making mistakes as compared to the Surface Pro. Therefore, if your job involves a lot of writing or if you are a student who needs to type long papers and essays, you would enjoy the accuracy and reliability of Surface Pro’s keyboard.
There is a close competition on this one. While the MacBook Air lasts for about 9 hours while the Surface Pro lasts for 50 minutes or so more than that. So, there is not much of a choice here until you really can do a lot with an hour of battery life.
However, if you are a professional who needs a longer battery life, then the Surface Pro is ideal for you. Sometimes, even an extra hour of battery life can do wonders for your work.
While students will appreciate the battery life of MacBook Air, design and art professionals will prefer the Surface Pro’s battery life. This is because such professionals use demanding software like Photoshop and Premiere Pro that drain battery much faster.
At the end of the day, a laptop has to be portable because beauty and aesthetics just do not cut it. The MacBook Air is quite thin and lightweight but the Surface Pro is lighter than it, despite being thicker. Both the laptops are quite portable but if you need a laptop that is lightweight and also has sufficient battery life, you should opt for the Microsoft Surface Pro.
At first, you might think that the 0.4 pound difference between the two laptops is not a lot. But it actually is. If you are going to work, sitting on your desk the whole day, the weight will not matter. However, if you are going to carry your laptop bag the whole day, the lighter 2.4 pound Microsoft Surface Pro should be your pick.
Value for Money
Apple laptops are expensive and we all know it. The Surface Pro starts at a much lower price than the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air can be upgraded to have 16 GB RAM but the CPU cannot be upgraded.
On the other hand, the Surface Pro comes in upgraded models in which you get double the storage, 16 GB RAM and core i7 CPU. So, there is a lot to gain as the price goes higher. The full-blown version of Surface Pro can cost you double the price of MacBook Air but the entry-level version is a few hundred bucks cheaper than the entry-level Air.
MacBook Air vs. Surface Pro: Which is better?
We don’t like to choose favorites but we would have to say that the Surface Pro 6 does a much better job at practically everything. You can still get the MacBook Air as it is best for average users or students but if you want to edit, make videos or use heavy design apps, you should invest your money in the Microsoft Surface Pro 6.
The Surface Pro has a better screen display which makes it suitable for Netflix and chill while its longer battery life ensures that the laptop does not die in the middle of an exciting episode. Moreover, it is better in terms of performance and has a slimmer and lighter design for enhanced portability. Overall, there is no doubting the fact that the Surface Pro takes the win in this contest. | design |

The Bang & Olufsen high-end Surround Sound system for the BMW X5 represents another step forward in the evolution of the partnership between BMW and Bang & Olufsen engineers. Together they have designed a meticulously balanced soundscape perfectly attuned to the cabin of the first-ever BMW SUV to be fitted with the unique Bang & Olufsen sound.
Signature style and sound
The first BMW model with Bang & Olufsen sound to be produced in the USA, the BMW X5 incorporates all of the signature features that have successfully been implemented by Bang & Olufsen in the BMW 5 Series, BMW 6 Series and BMW 7 Series models. Sixteen active loudspeakers powered by a 1,200-watt amplifier provide a rich, layered and authentic sound and each of the seven tweeters is twinned with a mid-range loudspeaker for a homogenous sound experience. BMW’s subwoofer architecture, with the two drivers placed in an extremely rigid part of the body structure under each of the front seats, elegantly eliminates unwanted vibration and ensures a powerful, clean reproduction of the bass. Additionally, data gathered from a cabin-mounted microphone is used to constantly adjust the sound according to changing conditions inside and outside the car, from engine noise and air conditioning to poor road surfaces and extreme weather conditions.
Also featured in the sound system are two alternative sound modes. Select ‘Studio’ mode for a vivid sound stage reminiscent of a recording studio. Or choose ‘Expanded’ mode, which widens the sound stage to give the impression that the loudspeakers are located outside the car to replicate the feeling of listening to music in a concert hall or theatre.
Play it by ear
Crucially, all of this cutting-edge technology is backed up by the expertise and experience of Bang & Olufsen and BMW sound engineers who did most of the final sound-tuning by ear. This process of using both advanced digital signal processing and the human ear to test sound clarity, both when the car is static and on the test track with the BMW X5 travelling at speeds up to 200 kph, has culminated in a listening experience on par with the finest home audio systems.
Bespoke design features
The pristine sound is matched by timeless design that coherently blends with the interior contours of the car. New and unique design elements of the Bang & Olufsen high-end Surround Sound system for the BMW X5 include round, solid aluminium grilles – these grilles feature the BMW-specific ‘Perlglanz’ (Pearl Gloss) colour and perfectly aligned machine-drilled holes which maximize airflow. To eliminate sun reflection an elegant dark grey ‘atlasgrau’ colour has been chosen for the centre-speaker in the X5 and this is pearl-blasted to give a matte finish of unparalleled durability. The bespoke design of the lighting incorporated into the mirror triangle speaker grille on the front door delivers wonderfully homogenous luminosity. To add a final stamp of quality, the Bang & Olufsen name is laser-engraved onto the surface of most of the grilles.
A touch of magic
The unique Bang & Olufsen Orchestration, with the loudspeaker cover rising silently from the centre of the dashboard to reveal the large acoustic lens as the LED lights simultaneously illuminate, lends a touch of magic to the whole sensory experience. Bang & Olufsen’s Acoustic Lens Technology distributes sound horizontally with 180˚ of dispersion left to right.

During the development of the new P12 PWM PST CO, special emphasis was placed on a focused air stream and thus a high static pressure. The fan guarantees extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance. Therefore, the P12 PWM PST CO is particularly suitable, but not limited to, for use on heat sinks and radiators.
Strong Cooling Performance
Numerous improvements, such as an updated engine technology and a newly developed fan design, have noticeably increased the performance of P-fans. In internal performance tests leveled to 28 dB (A), the new P-fans left many competitors behind. More information can be found in our FAQ.
More Efficient Technology
The motor is powered by a Neodym-Iron-Boron-Magnet ring of the newest generation, which allows the new P12 PWM PST CO to run much more efficiently than its predecessors. This saves energy and lowers the coil temperature without compromising the performance.
For Continuous Operation
The premium quality Japanese dual ball bearing allows continuous operation 24/7 without the slightest compromise in performance. Dust and high temperature are affecting this bearing a lot less than generic sleeve or one ball bearings and thus make it the perfect choice when reliability is essential.
Maximum Quietness, Minimum Vibration
Even at low speeds the operating sound of the new ARCTIC motor is barely noticeable. Due to a sinus-magnetizing the new motor only creates about 5 % of the vibration from commutation of a regular DC-motor without filter. Consequently, there is no need for rubber spacers due to the steady and smooth torque of the new motor.
Extended Life Span
The new ARCTIC motor has a four times longer service life through its low coil temperature. Consequently, Arctic has extended the manufacturer’s warranty to 10 years.
200 to 1800 RPM regulated via PWM
With a wide range of regulation and the PWM Sharing Technology (PST), the P12 PWM PST CO fan speed can be controlled synchronously with all your other fans together. This keeps noise at a minimum while guaranteeing maximum cooling performance when needed.

Inspired, she immediately bought a wheel and kiln and set about trying to learn everything on her own while living on a commune in Washington state.
Missett eventually went back to school for a BFA, then to graduate school at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. She is currently an Adjunct Professor at the City University of New York, as well as a faculty member of Greenwich House Pottery and the Art Program director for the West Side YMCA.
Here is how Missett describes her work:
Canopic jars were used by Egyptians to inter various internal organs with the deceased. I worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art when I was in graduate school and became fascinated with these wonderful pieces that were usually made of alabaster or limestone. The tops depicted Egyptian deities, frequently animals, and the sides of the jars often had intriguing letters and drawings. I was interested in borrowing the form for my own work because I was very concerned with environmental issues, particularly endangered species, having grown up in South Florida and watched the disappearance of so much wildlife as the population exploded. I grew up playing in mangrove swamps and spending hours diving on reefs that are no longer there. I had been making all sorts of animals and birds in clay for many years. I was also doing a lot of experimentation with printing photographs onto the ceramic surface and the combination of two- and three-dimensional surfaces on one piece was a natural fit for my aesthetic. Finally, the association with death and afterlife was perfect for the subject matter of endangered species and the environment.
The pieces are primarily hand built from slabs of clay, although some of the bottoms begin on the wheel and are then built up by the addition of slabs. All the forms are hollow, including the sculptural tops; they are all fired, some multiple times to create a particular surface effect.
I have had the good fortune to learn many types of firing processes as I do have access to places that have wood, salt, and raku kilns within a reasonable distance of New York City. I tend to think of the finished surface when conceptualizing a piece so the pieces are frequently quite different from each other depending on the firing chosen.

A classic and elegant mechanical GMT
This classic GMT watch combines the style that has long captivated watch lovers with an evolved Caliber 9S66 movement. The watch has a 3-day power reserve and combines the latest in hairspring technology with an escapement developed through MEMS technology to achieve high accuracy and stability when worn.
The design embodies a pure classical elegance with a box-shaped sapphire crystal, Zaratsu polished lugs, a brown leather strap, and a blue steel 24-hour hand complementing a deep ivory dial.
The delicacy, strength and beauty of the movement can be enjoyed the exhibition case back.
The GMT hand, blue, distinctive and perfectly functional.
The GMT hand is both unobtrusive and yet easy to see. How can this be? Because it is shorter than the other hands and set underneath them, it never interferes with the legibility of the time of day. However, because of its distinctive arrow shape and its blue color, it catches the eye whenever the wearer glances to see the time in a second time zone. It extends right to the 24 hour numerals but never overlaps them and, thanks to its powerful shape, it stands out clearly from the pure ivory dial. Form and function in perfect harmony, as the Grand Seiko Style demands.
An authentic classic, with the Grand Seiko touch.
SBGM221 has long been a favorite in the Grand Seiko collection. It is an automatic watch with a GMT hand set above a deep ivory color dial. Its uniqueness lies in the shape of the case. While every angle is soft and rounded, there is a subtle triangle that catches the eye that dwells. Formed by the case at is widest and the Zaratsu polished edges to the lugs, it adds a sharp yet delicate distinction to this classic design.
The Grand Seiko Automatic GMT, standing the test of time.
Nobuhiro Kosugi was the first watch designer in Japan to receive recognition from the Japanese government as a “Contemporary Master Craftsman.” Among his most celebrated designs is this automatic GMT watch, first offered in 2010. “Its originality comes from the crescent moon shaped profile on the Zaratsu polished, curved lugs.” says Kosugi. Perhaps so, but the combination of this distinctive case with the blue tempered GMT hand, the ivory color dial and the brown leather strap also play a role in creating a design that looks as perfectly understated today as it did nearly a decade ago. | design |

Analysis And Research – Gabzy Media will complete a phase of analysis and research in which we will conduct interviews and review materials to create a basis for work moving forward.
In this phase, Gabzy Media will:
- Confirm project process and schedule.
- Review existing materials, ranging from the website to publications, as well as materials of other global businesses.
- Conduct a meeting with the client to understand the objectives of the company, and the goals of the graphic identity project. We will facilitate a discussion around the company tagline to determine the internal interest in renaming either or both.
- Create a brief that summarizes findings in the form of a narrative.
- Present a findings summary in preparation for work.
- Amend brief as indicated by the client and determine the entire scope of the project.
Brand Strategy Development – We work with senior stakeholders to define a brand strategy, establishing what a business stands for, its purpose and values in simple, compelling terms. We translate this into a differentiating positioning. For businesses dealing with a complex structure or portfolio of products we design a correspondingly clear brand architecture.
Gabzy Media will create a new graphic identity for the client. In this phase, we will:
- Determine appropriate sample applications.
- Create multiple design concepts for the identity across sample applications.
- Present concepts to the client.
- Based on feedback, refine one direction for a follow up presentation.
Once a single direction is chosen, CKDigital will move into design development. In this phase, we will:
- Establish color, typography, and supporting graphic elements.
- Conduct a review with the client to discuss revisions and feedback.
- Present final design to the client for approval.
- Create digital files for the logo in preparation of final production.
Gabzy Media will develop designs for representative applications, demonstrating the use of the identity. A final list will be agreed upon with the client. Potential applications include:
- Stationery: letterhead, envelope, business cards, note pad, ID Cards, folder, CD and CD Jacket
- Email newsletter template
- Desktop wallpaper
Brand Guidelines Development
Gabzy Media will document the graphic identity in a 5-25 page Design Guidelines document that establishes the rules and usage of the graphic identity, including scale, composition, supporting typography, palette, recommendations on applications, and reproduction guidelines. This document will serve as a guide for in-house and external designers working on behalf of the client. In this phase, Gabzy Media will:
- Document the graphic identity in a set of guidelines.
- Submit the guidelines to the client for review and revision.
- Submit final guidelines package in pdf format. | design |

This original gun creates soap bubbles automatically and its 8 canons can launch up to 300 bubbles with each shot, creating a complete bubble invasion. It includes a tin for the soap and a tank for loading the soap , which enables you to carry everything you need easily to any location that you want to use it. It has an ergonomic handle, is battery operated and is very easy to use. You simply pour the soap contained in the tin into the tank, insert the end of the gun into the tank to wet the canons, and press the fire button, repeating the operation as required. This set does not include soap, but it does include instructions on how to make soap for bubbles.
