As an architect, photographer, composer, and member of the giant Lebanese rock band Mashrou’ Leila, Carl Gerges can be deemed a true multi-hyphenate. His latest venture tests the waters of high fashion: this past April, Gerges collaborated with Bottega Veneta in Dubai for a three-night event, which featured a live performance. He was tasked with designing a space that drew upon both Middle Eastern design and the iconic Italian brand’s identity. Born in Beirut, Gerges tells me that he always grew up with an affinity for building things, recalling the toy models he used to tinker with when he was young. In 2008, he co-founded his band while studying architecture at the American University of Beirut. He officially launched his studio, Carl Gerges Architects, in March 2020.
FRONTRUNNER speaks Gerges about his most recent project with Bottega Veneta and beyond.
You have so many different creative processes. How do you keep your architectural work separate from your other creative practices, like music and photography? How do you connect them, especially during your recent collaboration with Bottega Veneta?
I work in an industry where so many different worlds intersect. Even if I wasn’t fully conscious of it, music, art and architecture have always been inextricably intertwined during my life. Rather than trying to separate these disciplines, when I created Carl Gerges Architects, I naturally approached my projects in a theatrical way, as if they were a series of moments rather than a series of spaces. My collaboration with Bottega Veneta was the perfect way of linking these passions as a means to push forward a community of artists and thinkers in an architectural intervention. Based around the Arabic term majlis (symbolising gathering and togetherness) the space I designed has elements from a traditional conversation pit, interwoven with modern-day conversations and settings.
And you obviously did that with the green thematics, which is heavily associated with the brand’s contemporary image.
Exactly, the idea was to integrate a green square – inside the cubic venue – emphasising the square within a square structure and creating a subtle arabesque pattern.
How else did you incorporate the brand identity? I know that Daniel Lee just left and the creative direction got switched over to Mattieu Blazy, so what was it like working with Bottega during this turnover?
I worked very closely with the Bottega Veneta team and with the head of worldwide events and partnerships, Alexandre-Camille Removille. It was a smooth process that felt very natural. Inspired by the brand’s fabric that is both ancestral and innovative, my intervention presented a theatrical space that paid tribute to Italian architecture whilst reflecting the hospitality, warmth and colloquialism of a local gathering. The seats were made out of this beautiful Bottega Veneta fabric. It was important to add this refined layer where people would be seated; it added texture and delicacy to the space. The speaker towers around the conversation pit were also custom designed.
They’re massive too!
Yes, they were massive! They were a crucial element of the scenography, not only because of the amazing sound quality that they produced, but also because of their monumentality – they balanced the empty green cube. They were also a hint at the old Hi-Fi systems that we found in the 60’s homes.
Apart from the design aspects, the space itself acted as a meeting place for a lot of different talent. Did you have a favorite act (if you’re allowed to say whether you did)?
As the pop-up was happening during the holy month of Ramadan, we hosted poets, artists and intellectuals from eclectic backgrounds: rooted in both traditional and contemporary disciplines. From the Yemeni-East African visual storyteller Shaima Al-Tamimi (who screened her short film Don’t Get Too Comfortable, a letter to her late grandfather contemplating their pasts and future as Arabs in the diaspora), to Asma Al-Badawi (a Sudanese-British spoken word poet, known for advocating for inclusivity and diversity in women’s sports), to Mustafa the Poet (a Canadian poet/songwriter whose genre-defying work surrounds his life, loss, and identity as a Black Muslim artist) and finally Solemann Haddad (a Syrian Dubai-based chef who curated the culinary experience for our guests.) I didn’t really have a favorite performance. The event was over the course of three days. The first night was intimate, we had a controlled amount of guests, the artists were getting comfortable, the conversations were very personal. For the third night, we decided to open up the space to a hundred people, the dynamic really changed, It was a completely different experience. When you have more people occupying different areas of a space the emotions in the space change and this is where it gets interesting.
With all of that said, was it a gratifying experience? Do you recommend that Bottega continues to do this in the future?
It was very gratifying that our collaboration got the attention it deserved, we got a lot of press and a lot of exposure. It was quite a unique event for the region because it was not centered around showcasing products or merchandise. Instead, it focused on real people and real stories. We received a lot of positive feedback, Bottega even decided to take this concept further and travel with it to cities such as Tokyo, São Paulo, Shanghai.
You’re the designer to helm the travelling project, so congratulations! Apart from Bottega, what kinds of things, architecture and otherwise, do you want to do in the future?
Thank you! My dream is to someday design cultural or wellness projects. In contrast to residential and commercial projects, these projects have something transcendent about them. The quality of these spaces, their proportions, their form and function, allow people to access states of being or understanding that are spiritual – feelings such as calmness, awe, wonder, enlightenment, wellbeing, wholeness, joy.


Whole Home Remodel for Growing Family
Pacific Beach, California
In this budget-conscious remodel for a family with young children we used an open format and creative planning to maximize interior space, while keeping house footprint small to preserve a large back yard. On the exterior, we kept 50% of walls and the single-story structure in keeping with Coastal Commission requirements.
Bay windows in the living room, new master suite and new bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms add more square footage by extending over the setback distance.
These windows double as reading nooks and gave us space to add shelves and storage beneath. In the children’s bedrooms we also added nooks above the closets, accessible by ladder, to showcase books, collections or toys.
In the kitchen, ceiling beams define the space and add visual interest and an L-shaped island creates the heart of the home. The island also serves as the back of a built-in banquette – with drawers for storage – and on the other end, offers space for barstools so friends and family can gather.

An artistic way of regulating the flow of light
Before setting out on our recent extended travels through Gujarat, I booked accommodation via a well-known travel website. The hotel I chose for Ahmedabad was the aptly named ‘Hotel Goodnight’. Its address, ‘Opp. Sidi Saiyed’s Jali, near Electricity House…’, intrigued me. What is a ‘Jali’, I wondered, apart from being an anagram of ‘jail’.
The word ‘jali’ (or ‘jaali’) means ‘net’ in Hindustani. As an architectural term, it refers to stone (usually) grille window screens. These screens are carefully intricately carved in stone. A flat stone is carefully perforated to produce an elaborate lattice of spaces surrounded by the remaining strands of stone. In India, they are found in temples (Hindu and Jain), mosques, and secular buildings. They are usually very attractive. These carved stone window coverings, that simultaneously provide shade and the passage of light, can be seen outside India. For example, there is at least one…

It’s been almost 5 months since we screamed to be free from Hemingway WordPress theme. Nothing against this theme I must say. But we needed new web clothes and the time has come.
We chose Futurosity Aperio this time; very flexible theme build upon Sandbox, from plaintext.org. Tweaking the design here and there, little by little we are getting what we wanted like we planned. Nothing is set in stone and feedbacks will be highly valuable at any time.
Pretty soon, following a 3-month hiatus, we will post some new projects we’ve been working on since last year.
Peace to all.

If you are stingy with iPhone concepts like us, you will most likely appreciate the latest addition to the future smartphone from Apple.
Imagined by Ran Avni, this concept of iPhone 6 presents a 4.5 inch screen and takes up the rumor about the absence of a home button in the next phones of the Cupertino company.
The screen, larger than the iPhone 5 and its current 4 inches causes a reduction in the black edges of the device. The fact that the famous round button so dear to Apple disappears leaves more room for the slab.
As for the back of the device, it also changes from what we know and the bands at the top and bottom of the iPhone 5 merge into a larger glossy part on the lower part. becomes grayer, reminiscent of the current generation MacBook Pro. We let you watch:
This is obviously not the first concept of its kind, since we told you about another iPhone 6 without home button (read: iPhone 6: Concept with 4.2 inch screen).

A team of researchers have taken inspiration from water strider insects to develop a robot capable of leaping from the surface of water.
The team included researchers from the Seoul National University, Korea (SNU), the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.
Water striders are small, semi-aquatic insects which jump off the water's surface to move themselves around. Jumping on water is a complex maneuver. However, the water striders easily float along the water's surface and use their legs to produce a sufficient amount of upward thrust to become airborne.
Although the idea of walking on water may sound strange, many tiny creatures use the surface tension of water to move from one place to another. Now, inspired by this natural water-based locomotion, the researchers have designed an innovative robotic insect capable of leaping from the water's surface. This latest development has shed new light on the natural mechanisms that enable these insects to leap from both fluid water and stiff ground with equal amount of height and power. The study results have appeared in the July issue of Science.
Jumping on Water: Robotic Water Strider
Harvard University | Youtube.com
"Water's surface needs to be pressed at the right speed for an adequate amount of time, up to a certain depth, in order to achieve jumping," stated Kyu Jin Cho, the study's co-senior author and Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Director of the Biorobotics Laboratory at Seoul National University. "The water strider is capable of doing all these things flawlessly."
Water striders have legs with slightly curved tips, and use a rotational leg movement to jump off from the water's surface. This was discovered by Ho-Young Kim, the co-senior author, Director of SNU's Micro Fluid Mechanics Lab, and Professor in SNU's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Kim is also a former Wyss Institute Visiting Scholar who worked with Eunjin Yang, the study's co-first author and a graduate researcher at SNU's Micro Fluid Mechanics lab.
He collected these small insects and took videos of them to study the mechanism that allows these insects to float and jump off the water's surface. Following much trial and error, and by utilizing robotic models to test their theories, the researchers were finally able to interpret the mechanics of these semi-aquatic insects.
"If you apply as much force as quickly as possible on water, the limbs will break through the surface and you won't get anywhere," said Robert Wood, Ph.D., who is a co-author on the study, a Wyss Institute Core Faculty member, the Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the Harvard Paulson School, and founder of the Harvard Microrobotics Lab.
By comparing their robotic insect prototypes to the studied water striders, the team found that the most suitable way to jump off from the water’s surface was to ensure that contact is maintained between the leg and water for as long as possible during the jump motion. The new robotic insect mimics these mechanics and can apply as much as 16 times its body weight on the surface of the water without falling beneath the surface.
"Using its legs to push down on water, the natural water strider exerts the maximum amount of force just below the threshold that would break the water's surface," stated Je-Sung Koh, Ph.D., the study's co-first author, who is now a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Paulson School and the Wyss Institute. A large number of organisms, including the water strider, can easily perform unique styles of movements such as floating, flying, jumping or swimming on water despite lacking any complicated cognitive skills.
This is due to their natural morphology. It is a form of embodied or physical intelligence, and we can learn from this kind of physical intelligence to build robots that are similarly capable of performing extreme maneuvers without highly-complex controls or artificial intelligence.
Cho, co-senior author
The researchers developed the robotic insect by leveraging a torque reversal catapult mechanism, which was inspired by the manner in which a flea moves and jumps, thus enabling this type of unique locomotion without using any intelligent control. Wood, Cho, and Koh first reported this locomotion in 2013 at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.
To make the robotic insect to jump off the water’s surface, the catapult mechanism uses a burst of momentum combined with restricted upward thrust to push the robot from the water without actually breaking the water's surface. An automatic triggering mechanism was developed from actuators and composite materials, and this was used to trigger the lightweight catapult.
In order to create the body of the robotic insect, a technique called pop-up manufacturing was utilized to produce folded composite structures, which self-assemble in a similar way to the foldable parts that pop up in 3D books. This creative layering and folding process was developed by engineers at the Wyss Institute and the Harvard Paulson School, and helps in the rapid development of microrobots as well as a wide range of electromechanical instruments.
"The resulting robotic insects can achieve the same momentum and height that could be generated during a rapid jump on firm ground - but instead can do so on water - by spreading out the jumping thrust over a longer amount of time and in sustaining prolonged contact with the water's surface," said Wood.
"This international collaboration of biologists and roboticists has not only looked into nature to develop a novel, semi-aquatic bioinspired robot that performs an new extreme form of robotic locomotion, but has also provided us with new insights on the natural mechanics at play in water striders," said Wyss Institute Founding Director Donald Ingber, M.D., Ph.D.

If there is any one element that you can change to make spending 8 hours each day in an workplace easier, its your seat. There is no shortage of evidence proving that being stuck in a chair for too long can improve the risk of coronary disease and worsen back pain. In fact, sitting too much is even called worse than smoking. Many those who have workplace work create issues like pins and needles, spine misalignment, pain, throat pain, and slipped dvds usually from seated too long on the poor quality seat without assistance. When you most likely don't want to invest a lot of money on the seat, a high-quality chair is definitely an investment in your health, comfort and productivity. Two separate research, published in 1990 and 2003, found efficiency rises greater than 17% when folks operate in an ergonomic desk environment by having an flexible chair. The best chair coupled with ergonomic desk instruction may also decrease workplace injuries. Even though you may not already have wrist or back problems, an ergonomic chair will help you keep up with the correct posture to prevent stress, carpel tunnel affliction, low back pain, and spinal disc injury.

Nano tanks, typically less than 10 gallons, offer a compact and affordable way to explore aquascaping without the space or maintenance requirements of larger aquariums.
Designing a nano tank involves creatively using rocks, driftwood, and carefully selected plants to create a beautiful, balanced miniature ecosystem that’s both pleasing to the eye and functional for its inhabitants.
For a thriving nano tank, choose appropriate equipment and occupants based on their size and needs, and maintain the tank with regular water changes, nutrient management, algae control, and plant pruning.
Exploring Nano Tanks: Small but Mighty
The world of nano tanks is an intriguing one, a petite reminder of the vast aquatic wilderness. A nano tank is essentially a small tank, or a nano aquarium, usually holding less than 10 gallons of water. The smallness of these nano aquariums is their biggest charm, enabling you to create a pocket-sized slice of nature. They are perfect for planted tanks, creating a verdant, tranquil oasis that is both visually stunning and perfect for smaller aquatic creatures. In contrast to a large tank, small tanks like nano tanks require less space and maintenance, making them an ideal choice for many hobbyists.
Selecting a nano tank extends beyond its compact size; it also involves delving into the craft of small-scale aquascaping. These tanks, affordable and manageable, present a distinctive challenge for crafting petite aquatic landscapes. Their compactness makes them an ideal choice for those with space constraints, providing an opportunity to enjoy the invigorating pastime of aquascaping without the concern of bulky equipment or spatial limitations.
What is a Nano Tank?
What defines a nano tank? These miniature aquariums, generally holding less than 10 gallons, serve as the perfect setup for a planted aquarium. Their diminutive size belies the infinite possibilities they offer to aquascaping fans. Ideal for those with spatial limitations or those keen to begin on a smaller scale, nano tanks truly embody the essence of ‘less is more’. Despite their size, they brim with potential and aesthetic allure.
The beauty of a nano tank lies in its versatility. It can house a range of aquatic flora and fauna, creating a microcosm of an aquatic ecosystem. The small scale allows you to experiment with different aquascaping styles and designs without the commitment of a larger tank. Whether you’re a seasoned aquascaper or a beginner, a nano tank is a perfect canvas to unleash your creativity.
Why Choose a Nano Tank?
Opting for a nano tank as part of your aquascaping adventure boasts plenty of benefits. A key advantage lies in their affordability. Initial setup and ongoing maintenance costs of nano tanks are budget-friendly. Additionally, they use less water and electricity, positioning them as an environmentally friendly and economically wise selection for aquascaping devotees.
Not to mention, nano tanks are an excellent option for beginners. Their smaller size makes them less daunting to set up and maintain. It’s the perfect platform for you to learn and understand the basics of aquascaping before venturing into larger tanks. Plus, the small size of nano tanks makes them fit into any living space, allowing you to bring a piece of nature into your home, no matter how limited your space might be.
Designing Your Nano Tank Aquascape
Designing your nano tank aquascape is where the fun begins. It’s like painting a picture, but instead of paint, your palette includes rocks, driftwood, and a variety of nano aquarium plants. The goal is to create a visually appealing design that perfectly mimics the beauty of natural aquatic environments. The design of your nano tank will not only impact its aesthetic appeal but also its functionality.
As you design your nano tank aquascape, bear in mind that this is your canvas. You possess the liberty to craft any scene - be it a verdant jungle, a peaceful meadow, or a rugged landscape. The design ought to harmoniously incorporate hardscape elements, plants, and aquatic life, forging an environment that captivates visually and caters to your aquatic dwellers.
Hardscape elements constitute the foundation of your aquascape design. They encompass rocks, driftwood, and other non-living materials that contribute structure and depth to your aquascape. Commonly selected elements for nano tank aquascaping are Dragon stone, Seiryu stone, and River stones for rocks, alongside Manzanita wood, Malaysian driftwood, and Mopani wood for driftwood. These hardscape elements elevate the aesthetic charm of your nano tank and also serve as hiding and spawning places for your aquatic residents.
When placing your hardscape elements, aim to mimic natural environments. Rocks and driftwood can be arranged to replicate mountain ranges, riverbeds, or forest floors. Remember to create a sense of depth and balance in your layout. The hardscape should guide the viewer’s eye through the tank and create focal points that draw attention.
After arranging your hardscape, it’s time to prepare them for the tank. For driftwood, this means soaking it and changing the water when it gets dark from tannins.
Choosing the best plants for nano tank is vital. You need plants that are fitting to the tank’s diminutive size and won’t clutter the aquarium. Optimal choices for nano tanks are diminutive, slow-growing plants such as:
Hemianthus callitrichoides ‘Cuba’
Eleocharis sp. ‘Mini’
These plants not only snugly fit within the limited space of a nano tank but also enhance its aesthetic allure in a planted tank setting.
While choosing your aquatic plants, also consider their care requirements. For instance, Hemianthus species require regular fertilization and some amount of CO2 for optimal growth. The goal is to create a verdant, lush environment that is both visually pleasing and capable of supporting the health and wellbeing of your aquatic inhabitants.
Balancing Aesthetics and Functionality
Balancing aesthetics and functionality is a crucial aspect of nano planted aquarium. While the visual appeal of your nano tank is important, it should not come at the expense of its functionality. The key is to create a design that looks good and is also practical for the inhabitants of your tank.
To achieve this balance, consider the placement of your plants and hardscape elements. They should be placed in a way that facilitates easy movement for your fish and shrimp, provides hiding spots, and does not hinder the filtration or heating systems. Also, avoid using large leaf plants as they can throw off the balance and depth of the nano tank.
There are no strict rules for designing your nano tank, so feel free to be creative and experiment with different ideas. Whether it’s minimalistic or densely planted, the choice is yours. It’s all about experimenting and finding what works best for you and your aquatic buddies.
Stocking Your Nano Tank: Choosing the Right Inhabitants
Upon setting up your nano tank, the next step involves selecting its inhabitants. This decision is as critical as the tank’s design as appropriate inhabitants breathe life and dynamism into your tank, boosting its overall charm. When picking out inhabitants for your nano tank, take into account their size, mutual compatibility, and care needs.
The ideal inhabitants for nano tanks, perfect for those who love aquarium fish, are:
Small fish species like ember tetras and ruby red pencilfish
Invertebrates like red, yellow, orange, and blue varieties of shrimp
Snails, which make for great tank inhabitants due to their algae-eating abilities and low bioload.
Best Fish for Nano Tanks
When it comes to fish for your nano tank, size does matter. Small, hardy fish species are the best choices. They are easy to care for and can comfortably live in the limited space of a nano tank. Endler’s livebearers, for instance, are a perfect match for nano tanks. They are small, hardy, and come in vibrant colors, adding a lively vibe to your nano tank.
Another great species for nano tanks is the Pygmy Corydoras. These little guys are not only small in size but also excellent cleaners. They feed on food and bloodworms that end up at the bottom of the tank, helping to keep your tank clean. Remember, when choosing fish for your nano tank, consider their size, temperament, and care requirements to ensure they live a happy and healthy life in their new home.
Shrimp and Snails: The Unsung Heroes
Shrimp and snails may be small, but they play a big role in maintaining the health and cleanliness of your nano tank. These little critters are efficient algae eaters, helping to keep algae growth in check. Shrimp varieties like Cherry Shrimp, Neocaridina Shrimp, and bee shrimp are great choices for nano tanks. They are small, good at keeping algae at bay, and come in various colors, adding a splash of color and liveliness to your tank.
Snails too, make for great tank inhabitants. Snail varieties like:
Malaysian Trumpet Snail (MTS)
are great choices for nano tanks. They are excellent algae eaters and work well in small aquariums. Remember, while shrimp and snails add to your tank’s biodiversity, they also contribute to its bioload. So, ensure you do not overcrowd your tank and maintain a balance.
Essential Equipment for Nano Tanks
To ensure your nano tank flourishes, certain vital equipment is required. This encompasses an apt filter, heater, and lighting system. These apparatuses help uphold optimal conditions within your tank, guaranteeing the health and wellbeing of its occupants.
While choosing your equipment, keep in mind the size of your tank and its inhabitants. For instance, most filters are made for larger tanks and may not be suitable for a small nano tank. You would need to choose a filter that is the right size and efficient enough to maintain water quality in the tank.
Nano Tank Filtration
Filtration is crucial in a nano tank. Given their small size, water conditions in nano tanks can change more easily compared to larger tanks. Therefore, an efficient, reliable filter is key to maintaining water quality. A good filter should be simple, the right size for the tank, and give off enough heat, like 5 watts per gallon of water. The Cobalt Aquatics 25 watt heater, for instance, is known for its accurate temperature control, making it an excellent choice for nano tanks.
When choosing a filter, it’s not just about efficiency, but also aesthetics. After all, a bulky filter can take away from the visual appeal of your nano tank. Therefore, choose a filter that blends seamlessly with your aquascape design and doesn’t obstruct the view of your tank.
Heating Solutions for Nano Tanks
Just like filtration, heating is also an essential aspect of nano tank maintenance. Given their small size, nano tanks are more susceptible to temperature fluctuations. Therefore, a reliable, accurate heater is essential to maintain the ideal temperature within your tank.
When choosing a heater for your nano tank, consider the following factors:
Accuracy: The heater should accurately maintain the desired temperature.
Reliability: It should be reliable enough to prevent any sudden temperature changes.
Size: The heater should be small enough to fit comfortably within your nano tank without taking up too much space or disrupting the aesthetics of your small tank aquascape.
Lighting for Plant Growth and Aesthetics
Lighting is another crucial aspect of nano tank maintenance. The right lighting not only enhances the visual appeal of your tank but also supports plant growth. When choosing lighting for your nano tank, consider the needs of your plants. Different plants have different lighting requirements. Therefore, the lighting system you choose should cater to the needs of the plants in your tank.
Apart from plant growth, lighting also plays a key role in enhancing the aesthetics of your nano tank. It brings out the colors of your fish and plants, making everything pop, and adds depth to your aquascape, making it look more vibrant and lively.
Maintaining Your Nano Tank: Tips and Tricks
Once your nano tank is established and filled with inhabitants, you face the true challenge - its upkeep! Regardless of their small stature, nano tanks necessitate frequent maintenance to assure the health of the inhabitants and maintain the tank’s appearance. From routine water changes to nutrient control and plant care, maintaining a nano tank demands some effort, but the outcome is undoubtedly rewarding!
Maintenance activities for nano tanks include:
Regular water changes
Monitoring and managing nutrient levels
Controlling and preventing algae growth
Regular pruning and care of plants
By keeping on top of these tasks, you can ensure your nano tank remains a healthy and vibrant ecosystem for its inhabitants.
Water Changes and Nutrient Management
Water changes and nutrient management are fundamental aspects of nano tank maintenance. Regular water changes are crucial to maintaining water quality and preventing the buildup of toxins and waste. Aim to change the water in your nano tank every week to two weeks, depending on the tank. Remember to also keep an eye on nutrient levels. Too many nutrients can lead to problems like algal blooms.
In addition to water changes, managing the nutrient levels in your nano tank is also crucial. A healthy nano tank requires nutrients like:
Keeping a balanced nutrient profile in your tank can help keep algae in check and promote healthy plant growth.
Algae Control and Prevention
Algae is a common issue in nano tanks. If left unchecked, it can quickly overtake your tank, causing a host of problems. Therefore, controlling and preventing algae growth is essential. Regular water changes, proper lighting, and nutrient management can all help keep algae growth in check.
In addition to these measures, certain tank inhabitants can also help control algae. Shrimp and snails, for instance, are effective algae eaters. By including a few of these in your tank, you can keep algae levels under control and maintain a healthy, clean environment for your other tank inhabitants.
Plant Maintenance and Pruning
Proper care and maintenance of the plants in your nano tank are crucial. Regular pruning helps keep your plants healthy and your tank looking neat and tidy. You should trim your plants around three to five weeks after setting up your tank, and then whenever the plants start getting unruly.
In addition to pruning, regular fertilization is also important. Plants in a nano tank require micronutrients and macronutrients for healthy growth. Regularly dosing liquid fertilizer can help keep your plants thriving. Also, remember to remove any dead or decaying leaves as these can affect water quality.
In conclusion, nano tanks offer a world of possibilities for aquascaping enthusiasts. Despite their small size, they provide a platform to create stunning aquascapes that are both visually appealing and functional. From choosing the right tank and designing the aquascape to selecting the perfect inhabitants and maintaining the tank, each step of the process is an opportunity to express your creativity and create a slice of nature right in your own home.

In my 2D class we are learning to make paper. First we practiced by making a plain sheet, then we were given our requirements for the project. We must make a portfolio that contains at least five sheets, not including the plain one, and the portfolio itself is a double size sheet of paper that will hold the other sheets. The sheets were to include a patterned piece, an all over surface treatment piece, a piece with geometric shapes, a piece with line work, and a piece with natural materials. All of which are pictured except the natural materials and the double size portfolio sheet, both of which are still drying.

This page is part of a three-piece project consisting of a basic skirt and three different bodices. While the other two are made for day and evening wear, this one was designed for attending a ball. Combining several bodices with one skirt was a commonly used method for saving fabric. In addition, I sewed two overskirts to vary the look of the bottom half as well.
The page’s title already mentions this style’s main purpose: Ball gowns were the most elaborate dresses with lots of decoration. In this case, it meant sewing about 1200 acrylic pearls to the fabric. They extent to the alternative overskirt, which was designed especially for this combination. In contrast to other styles, the neckline could be very wide.
The overall design was inspired by baroque fashion, which reminded me of late 19th century historicism that used to copy earlier styles, mainly known in architecture. By adding a layer of cotton lining, it was possible to insert some boning. The bodice is closed by lacing through handsewn eyelets, so that I need some help with getting dressed in contrast to all other layers (chemise, corset, bustle, bustle pad and petticoat).
The rather hard outline of the bustle are softened with a thick petticoat and an additional pad on top. This early 1870s style is much more slender than the huge 1860s crinolines and already focuses on the rear section.
To balance the wide neckline, I added some jewelry made of glass beads. In order to make it easier to dance, the skirt’s train can be looped up. All layers mentioned above were completely made by myself. Have a look at the other bodices as well: day dress and evening style.

Fabienne Dining Furniture February 27th, 2018 - 11:02:55
Solid wood dining room furniture is the best you can get due to its strength, rigidity and hard-wearing properties. However, there are many different woods than can be used, and many different designs, so here is some advice on choosing the furniture for your dining room that best suits your needs, with specific reference to your tables and chairs. You must first decide on how many you want to seat at your table, bearing in mind that some tables can be extended to seat more for special occasions. This question might be answered by the size of your dining room, or perhaps yours is large enough for any size of dining table. Most choose from six to eight: two to four chairs each side and one at each end. However, you can choose larger if you prefer.
Choosing the best dining furniture for your home is a wonderful investment that requires creativity, patience, and resourcefulness. After all, a dining room can be used for a variety of functions, and can be used by people other than the family members living inside the house. Therefore, it is imperative that you are able to choose dining room furniture that will stand the test of time, and will fit into any occasion or event that you choose to hold in it - whether it`s a dinner party, a business meeting, or an intimate family dinner.
As you can see, shopping for dining room furniture is really a serious undertaking that you have to really think through before investing in. Never forget these elements when you go shopping, and never go impulse shopping. Always keep your priorities and must-haves in mind, and you will definitely get yourself quality dining room furniture. Never settle for anything less than good quality - you don`t have to get yourself the most ostentatious dining room furniture out there; you just need to get one that is most suited to your lifestyle and sets a positive mood at the dining room table, especially during mealtimes.
Most suppliers of solid wood dining room furniture offer you the chairs to match, although there is no reason why you cannot purchase your table from one maker and your dining room chairs from another. If you get the wood the same, then the maker is immaterial, and it is not uncommon for people to find a table with which they instantly fall in love, but don`t like the chairs that come with it. In such cases, keep looking until you find chairs that you are happy with: it`s worth taking your time when you are spending money on furniture for your dining room. You will live with it for a long time.


Hanging signs when pedestrian orientated Wall and freestanding signs for vehicle visibility Window signage to be limited to basic, specific identity of building and function
Wood: carved, sandblasted, etched (painted or stained) Metal: formed, etched, cast, engraved (paint)
Public Areas Whenever possible, locate parking areas to the rear of buildings, along alleys or side streets, avoid intersection corners. On-street parking should be attractively landscaped with such things as: peripheral planting strips of trees and shrubs in a linear fashion. (This also assists in softening edges and accenting buildings) Outdoor eating areas and cafes are encouraged to promote a pedestrian-oriented environment
Bow Island- Growing Forward
Bow Island is a prairie town, with agriculture and a growing processing and manufacturing industry. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and a relaxed atmosphere the designs promote the main features, and avoid imposing artificial character onto the town.
The contrast of incorporating contemporary elements with traditional prairie design and materials will allow the surrounding area to be enhanced.
FOR COMPLETE FAĂ‡ADE GUIDELINES GO TO WWW.BOWISLAND.COM OR PICK UP A COPY AT THE TOWN OFFICE
This Project was made possible by the Economic Development Alliance of Southeast Alberta & the Bow Island Economic Development Committee
Vision Restful and serene, the faĂ§ade designs capture the western prairie style- promoting Bow Island as an agricultural and light industrial based town; a peaceful stop for travelers seeking a community proud of its vast landscape and relaxed atmosphere.
Benefits Property owners realize increased revenues and property values when a business area is attractive, in demand and seen to be in a positive growth cycle. Businesses located in interesting, well maintained buildings are instantly attractive to customers; it is inviting, professional and shows you care about your customers experience; Business and property owners benefit when their upgraded building is surrounded by complementary designs, colors and signage that is appropriate: The residents and visitors benefit from a renewed energy, new businesses and will stay longer in town and spend more money at multiple stores or services; Distinguishing Bow Island as the most attractive prairie town in western Canada helps to market your company, creates a sense of pride and encourages people to visit, invest and return.
The Bow Island Economic Development Committee met in May 2009 and identified some projects that they felt would make a difference in the Town; helping to put its best face forward and encouraging spending by visitors.
As a result of funding found by the Economic Development Alliance of Southeast Alberta, the Town of Bow Island and generous local groups, Bow Island will benefit from a new visitor information centre, sidewalks, trees in parks, entry and directory signage and facade design guidelines. The facade designs will provide a guideline to assist property owners and businesses in making modifications to existing buildings or designing new structures.
Need Create an attractive community that will attract new businesses and residents; this increases real property values
Enhance the appearance of buildings and landscape to encourage travelers to stop and explore; increase sales for local companies Reinforce the image of a prosperous welcoming prairie town; demonstrate the high caliber of products and services available here

Contrast & Distinction Colors represent nature, schemes that could reflect the seasonal contrasts. Base colors such as: earth tones-browns, greens, blues and neutral whites and tans. Complimented by accent colors such as: deep sunset reds, oranges, gold, deep greens and blues.
Cladding Materials Materials that are familiar to the area are promoted: Timber board and panel with battens and reveal Horizontal “wood-look” siding or panels Brick
FAÇADE GUIDELINE HIGHLIGHTS
Western Prairie Style A concept developed by Frank Lloyd Wright- prairie buildings are defined by low, horizontal lines that are meant to blend with the flat landscape around them; blurring the distinction between building and the terrain that surrounds them. This concept has been used to reflect Bow Island’s history and promote the image of a town that continues to grow and develop.
Accent materials used to compliment the structure are: Metal- for roofing and cladding Stucco
Roofs Low slope roofs with waterproof membrane systems, low-pitched shingles or standing seam metal False front parapets, canopies or bold fascias on flat roofs are utilized to accent horizontal lines.

Why do we need to use special quality pipes to produce our door handles and balustrades?
Robust and convenient packaging
In order to allow customers to get the steel pipe, the use is more convenient, the product is not damaged, we have done a lot of research work to ensure. From the beginning of the production of the pipe, we have conducted a special study in consideration of every link in the installation of the railing. This is a problem that we pay special attention to, to ensure the production of qualified quality products, the bad factors caused by packaging, the collisions caused by short-distance transportation, and the problems arising from shipping, etc., comprehensively considering the combination of product quality and cost, and finally got the most Good packaging method:
Each tube is placed inside a plastic sleeve.
The plastic sleeve is the whole production, not the disjointed splicing. The tube is well protected in the plastic sleeve and there are no unnecessary scratches, so that you get the perfect ideal tube.
The package can withstand all kinds of bad weather such as rain, frost, snow and heat.
On rainy days, the tube can be hidden, no further packaging is required, the package is taken out of the package, dried with a cloth and dried properly, and it can be processed immediately.
Unlimited storage in dust, dirt, and oil felt environments. Although the exterior of the package is dirty, when you peel off the cartridge, it will shine like a new one without wiping the surface. Although it is placed for a while, it does not affect the easy making of money.
Each tube is packaged in color coded
The black mark means the "EPAI" tube and the anti-counterfeit laser stamp is attached to the tube. The red mark is the super product. The "epipes" blue mark means the 201 product, which will never make you wrong when used. The product is always your most assured product.
Each product has a label that you can easily identify
Each product will have a label corresponding to the standard and requirements, and it is not easy to make mistakes when shipping to your warehouse. If you have a malicious change, please rest assured that we also have corresponding trademarks and logos on the products. Our products have excellent surface treatment and reliable packaging, so you can use them with confidence.
The innovative design of the package will take into account the convenience of carrying staff.
We specialize in what kind of specifications, how many bundles, and can be safely shipped and placed. We have studied the number of ways that our customers can sell and use the most convenient way, even if they don't break the package, they can be sold and put into use.
We also offer our customers a package that is superior to their peers. We use high-grade packaging materials to wrap the product in a white, neat and safe outerwear. Our products stand out in many products, and you can easily see the high-quality stainless steel tubes that are wrapped safely.
We use a lot of tape to hold the tubes together and ensure that the products are not deformed, so that they can be easily stored and transferred during transportation. You can easily arrange them neatly, which saves your warehouse space.
Every nozzle we pass special treatment
We have strict quality control and process control, and the nozzle does not occur because the chemical composition of chromium and nickel changes after cutting, which causes the edge to rust.
Further protection of our packaging
According to our statistics, there are 64% of cases where the packaged packaging tape is easy to break.
Therefore, we have taken care to avoid packaging damage in the medium term, so each package has an extra bandage at the top edge that effectively protects the outside from damage to the stainless steel tube and packaging.
