The donation is the largest gift ever received by Cambridge’s engineering faculty, which has long been the most successful in Europe.
The donation expands the existing work of the Foundation which now supports design, technology and engineering from primary school through to start-up businesses, having donated £35m to these causes.
The building will provide space to a number of Cambridge postgraduate scholars whose research is supported by the Foundation.
Due to open in 2015, the Dyson Engineering Design Centre will become the focal point in teaching Cambridge students about the design process, providing specialised printing machinery, scanners, lasers and routers.
The building will provide the space for over 1,200 bright engineers to conduct their research. An open plan design featuring dozens of incubator units will encourage the sharing of ideas and a collaborative research environment.
Student-led projects housed within the building include solar powered electric racing cars, vehicles engineered for arctic ice, quad-rotor drones and helium balloon spaceflight systems.
A separate new four storey building, the James Dyson Building for Engineering, will house postgraduates and support world leading research in areas including advanced materials, smart infrastructure, electric vehicles, and efficient internal combustion systems for cars.
Bridge links across buildings will allow easy access to testing laboratories housing world-class fluid dynamics machinery, aerodynamics equipment and areas for aeroacoustics analysis.
Specialist knowledge on research strategies and funding advice will be available on-site, supported by Philip Guildford Director of Research at the Department of Engineering.
Research undertaken in the hub will build on a rich tradition of invention: it was at Cambridge that Harry Riccardo pioneered the internal combustion engine and Frank Whittle revolutionised travel with his jet engine invention.
The Department is located at the heart of the Cambridge cluster, which has created over 1,500 spin-out companies over the last decade.
Technology we take for granted, including: Concorde ‘droop’ nose design, the microchips developed by ARM that now power 90% of the world’s mobile phones, and the pregnancy test.
James Dyson said: “Developing the intellectual property that will help Britain succeed in the global technology race depends on applying our brightest minds to ambitious and exciting research projects. I’m hopeful that this new space for Britain’s best engineers at the University of Cambridge will catalyse great technological breakthroughs that transform how we live”.
Dame Ann Dowling, Head of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge said: “Academic rigour must meet with practical invention. The Dyson Engineering Design Centre and the James Dyson Building for Engineering bridge the gap, encouraging engineers to apply their minds to creatively experiment and try new things.”
The James Dyson Foundation has donated £8m to create a technology hub at the heart of Cambridge, providing the University of Cambridge’s brightest engineers with some of the world’s most advanced engineering laboratories.

Longing for nails that meet the latest manicure trends? The American manicure is quickly becoming beloved by many! This style will do the trick for those who want to capture the distinct and modern essence of classic Americana. With its simple yet stylish look, you’re sure to find a variation of this trend that fits your desired aesthetic. And if you’re starting from scratch or need some pointers along the way, let us provide tips and tricks on achieving this beautiful manicure finesse. So get ready – it’s time to start guiding your nails through the world of fashion with an all-American spin!
How to get the perfect American manicure
- Begin by trimming and filing your nails with an emery board or nail file. Start at the corners and work toward the center. File in one direction only to prevent any splitting of the nail.
- Apply a thin layer of cuticle oil around your nails, concentrating on any dry spots. Cuticle oil helps keep your nails healthy, so apply it regularly!
- Soak your hands in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften the cuticles and make them easier to push back (or use a cuticle softener).
- Push back the cuticles with a wooden orange stick or small brush, being careful not to tear them as this can cause infection.
- Apply a base coat of polish to protect your nails, and allow it to dry completely before applying the color/design of your choice.
- Seal the manicure with a clear topcoat with a UV blocker, and use quick-dry drops if you’re short on time.
- Finish off with cuticle oil or cream around the edges of each nail for extra nourishment! You can also apply some oil underneath the tips of your nails for added hydration and protection from breakage.
- Enjoy your perfect American Manicure! With proper care, it should last about two weeks before needing to be redone. After that, regularly use cuticle oil or cream to keep them looking their best, and apply a top coat after each shower.
Hopefully, this step-by-step guide has helped you get the perfect American Manicure. Each step is important for achieving beautiful results, from filing and trimming your nails to applying the base coat and color of your choice. And remember, remember to hydrate your hands with cuticle oil daily and apply a UV-blocking topcoat for added protection! With these tips in mind, you should have no problem getting that gorgeous manicure look every time.
The battle of the manicures: French vs. American
The French manicure and American manicure are two of the most popular styles of nail art. Both looks have become iconic, with each possessing its own unique qualities. So which style is better for you? Let’s take a look at the differences between these two classic looks.
When it comes to French manicures, they typically feature an opaque white tip that stands out against the natural background color of your fingernail. The French version usually consists of two colors: a light pink and an ivory or white tip. This timeless look is often seen on celebrities and has been around for decades – making it one of the most recognizable nails in fashion today!
Meanwhile, American manicures have recently gained immense popularity. They provide a trendy yet sophisticated look that can be customized to suit individual tastes and preferences. A bolder shade of color usually characterizes these manicures on the tips, such as a bright red or navy blue, with the remaining nail left neutral or in the same color range.
When it comes to maintenance, French manicures typically require less upkeep than American ones. The French tip is usually applied with an acrylic powder, which helps keep your nails looking fresh and pristine for weeks. On the other hand, more intricate American manicures may require frequent touch-ups due to their bold colors and shapes.
It all comes down to personal preference and what works best for your lifestyle. French manicures are the way to go if you’re looking for a classic look that requires minimal upkeep. But American manicures could be the perfect option if you want to make a statement with bolder hues!
No matter what style you choose, both French and American manicures can help give your nails a stylish and fashionable look. So why not try them both and see which one is right for you? The perfect manicure is out there – all you need to do is find it!


CMP Air Gun Ranges Receive Electronic Target Equipment Upgrade
November 18, 2016Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Air Gun Ranges Receive Electronic Target Equipment Upgrade
By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer
CAMP PERRY, Ohio; ANNISTON, Ala. – The Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Competition Centers in Ohio and Alabama underwent extensive renovation projects in November to improve the quality of equipment within their ranges, replacing the old target systems with some of the top technology available on the market today.
The targets, exclusively crafted by Kongsberg Target Systems (KTS) for CMP’s ranges, were installed Nov. 7-11 at Anniston’s South Competition Center and Nov. 14-18 at Camp Perry’s Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center. Each range’s targets were placed in the same configuration as in the past, with 80 sets at each location.
The new systems are OpticScore targets, which are scored optically by internal LED lights rather than acoustically like the prior target systems that relied on microphones to capture the sound of the pellet as it penetrated through a paper roll. In fact, there are no paper rolls on the new target system, meaning less maintenance between firings.
Once a pellet is fired at the target, the target determines the location and records the score. The shot pellet is then captured by a metal backstop and collects behind the target in an environmentally-safe chamber.
Along with the advanced scoring technology within, the targets have a much cleaner appearance – positioned on a single leg stand and powered by a quiet motor to operate the lift. The targets themselves, which were previously encased in a metal frame, are now surrounded by a magnetized plastic face to give a sleek, uniformed look and profound security.
The monitors at each firing point are similar in function to the previous system, but are closer in appearance to the robust monitors currently installed at CMP’s Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama and at the renovated Petrarca Range at Camp Perry in Ohio. Button functions and an LED lighted screen allow ease of use, even for individuals who may not feel technologically-savvy.
Besides new targets installed at each stationary location, the CMP’s mobile range will convert to the new target systems as well and will also increase to a 100-target set. The mobile range is scheduled for its debut in January.
The NCAA Championships in March will serve as the last match fired on the current MegaLink targets. All mobile activities after will be conducted on the new systems.
Come see the new targets for yourself! The Gary Anderson Invitational in December, fired simultaneously at both the Alabama and Ohio locations, will be the first match conducted on the target systems. Marksmanship Nights, open to the public, have also resumed and are open to curious individuals of all ages and experience levels.


Women love jewelry, and it is just as simple as that. They don’t want super expensive or luxurious jewelry. What they really want is actually something behind each piece of jewelry. A special memory that reminds them of the sweet days, or the mystery that they feel from the special Egyptian jewelry. AndreaM jewelry, themed by memory, mystery, and forever, may make your dream come true.
1 Mysterious Egyptian bangles:
The Egyptians were known to be very creative in designs, unmatched in their brilliance. The jewelry of ancient Egypt has fascinated the world for centuries. Not only are they beautiful and attractive in themselves, but they can also evoke some kind of religious feeling and mystery. It is because the Egyptians had their own religion, and Egyptian stuff has always been endowed with a bit of magic and mystery. The princess crown style bangles make women more royal, and elegant.
2 Elegant pearl rings:
Pearl jewelry is all the rage and one type of them is pearl rings. Pearl rings come in different colors and shapes as the pearls themselves are different in colors and shapes. Each pearl has its own special personality and its own story. There are no two pearl rings which are exactly alike. Thus, a pearl ring can offer you natural beauty and uniqueness. This ring has remarkable luster and is made of platinum plating, decorated with glittering CZ and high quality pearl.
3 Delicate butterfly brooches:
Like any other jewelry, brooches are mainly for the purpose of fashion and aesthetics. Different from other jewelries, brooches are no longer regarded as accessories for old ladies but for everyone. Both old and young ladies are happy to wear brooches to highlight a specific part of the body. You can wear it near to the shoulder, or waist bands. Or as a modern style, a brooch is often used as an accessory pinned to the lapel of a coat. In this way, it draws others’ attention to some part of the body, like a long neck, the waist, or the hips. Brooches also have practical use. For example, if you have bought a loose jacket and are trying to make it fit you better, a brooch can be used to have the slack pleated together and get fastened, giving an aesthetic feeling in the meantime.
4 Ornate Victorian bracelets:
Unlike that of any other time period, Victorian jewelry is inimitable for its classically ornate and delicately detailed design. When we mention Victorian jewelry, we have to say something about the Queen Victorian who ruled England from 1837 to 1901. As she has a romantic disposition, the jewelry during her reign is endowed with sentimental motifs like hearts, flowers, and birds. The Victorian jewelry is characterized by using such techniques as piercing, and filigree, which can be found in most of the Victorian jewelry like this bracelet for it has a delicate design and charming beauty.
5 Vintage Egyptian teardrop earrings:
Not only is Egyptian jewelry not confined to be worn by one gender, but also they have the ability to meld with whatever you wear. You can wear modern pants suits paired with Egyptian jewelry, which does not look weird but makes you more fashionable instead. This is the distinctive charm of Egyptian jewelry. For over 5000 years Egyptian arts have fascinated lots of people generation after generation, with its unparalleled beauty, and mystery. Like this teardrop earring, glittering gold-plated chain loop with medium brown teardrop cubic zirconia produces a sense of mystery, and nobility.
6 Personalized birthstone charms:
Some wear gemstones just for fashion, while some wear them for a sense of identity. Birthstones represent your birth month which dates back far in history when they were believed to bestow the wearers with power, or good luck. Today, they are more worn as a self statement or fashion statement. Personalized birthstone charms are actually good gift options, as they may give your loved person a feeling that this gift is just meant for him or her. They may feel you are really concerned about them. Birthstones can be added to your rings, earrings, or bracelets based on your preference.

Lifting the lid on Thorp
The lid was lifted on Thorp this week to allow the installation of a new Medium Active Salt Free Evaporator (MASFE).
Part of the roof has been removed and the first of four huge vessels – costing around £5m – was craned in on December 19.
Jordan Nuclear was awarded the £5.9m contract back in March and local Carlisle company Bendalls Engineering has been tasked with manufacturing the vessels. The first vessel to be installed weighs almost 20 tes and is over 11 metres in length the size of a double decker bus.
The Liebherr LTM 1800 crane is one of the largest in Europe and an 80te rigging crane has had to be brought in to build the crane itself. The crane performed the delicate operation of lifting the huge vessels some 34 metres in order to lower them in through the roof of Thorp. Project manager, Eleanor Billson said: “The new facility will replace the existing MASFE which is nearing the end of its life. This is a major engineering challenge which has required significant planning and we had to work very hard to reassure ourselves and our regulator that we could carry out such an unusual operation safely.
“This has been a very challenging project but I’m delighted that we have reached this major milestone. The whole project team has really pulled together and we are actually six months ahead of the original lifetime plan schedule to install the vessels.”
Thorp was designed with a spare evaporator cell containing support steel work, cladding and tie-ins already installed in the event that a new evaporator was required.
Steve Cockayne, Head of Thorp said: “Thorp has successfully reprocessed its first campaign of fuel and we are delighted with the plant’s performance. This project is required to allow Thorp to continue reprocessing customers’ fuel, which we are committed to doing.”

Delight Your Senses with an Aromatic Nosegay Bridal Bouquet
A Nosegay bridal bouquet is a wonderful way to celebrate your love and Mother Nature
Fragrant and petite, the “Nosegay” bridal bouquet appeals to brides who prefer to carry a smaller bouquet of wedding flowers as they walk down the aisle. This is a good choice if you want to have more greenery, herbs or flower branches in your bouquet than flowers.
The origin of the Nosegay is far removed from weddings; this small, rounded bunch of herbs and flowers was used to help women cope with the unpleasant rural odors of the Medieval period. The Nosegay was worn on the dress or hat to freshen the air around the wearer and also set in vases around the home to refresh the atmosphere.
By the era of Queen Victoria, the Nosegay was elevated to fashion statement status, the herbs and flowers were mounted in a small, cone-shaped holder called a “tussie-mussie” usually made of glass or metal. During this time when the language of flowers was used to send a message these innocent looking objects played a major role in romantic intrigue.
Today, the this style bridal bouquet is enjoyed renewed popularity with brides; embellished bridal bouquets in this style are adorned with organza ribbons and exotic tropical floral arrangements. The Nosegay bridal bouquet style is charming and elegant ideal for any wedding theme.


The Museum was founded in 2009, the International Year of Astronomy, thanks to the generosity of the owner of the museum's premises, Mrs. Jitka Steinwaldová, the professional and organizational support of the Czech Astronomical Society, the financial support of the Magistrate of the Capital City of Prague, and the support of Agentura ProVás, which also prepared the Museum's exhibits, co-sponsored the project, and operates the Museum. The Museum's graphic designers are Mrs. Lenka Kerelová, Ms. Kateřina Kerelová, and Mrs. Lenka Kotuláková. The Czech Astronomical Society is a scientific society established in 1917 and a member of the Council of Science Societies of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
The three coloured circles in the logo of the Kepler Museum represent Mars, Earth and the Sun. These are the bodies whose mutual positions were rigorously studied by Kepler in Prague, where he also invented two famous principles of celestial mechanics. The logo was designed by Ms. Kateřina Kerelová.
The entrance ticket to the Museum will surprise visitors because it depicts the dials of the Prague Astronomical Clock at the exact moment they entered the Museum. The entrance ticket also includes a translation of the dials' Old Bohemian, Babylonian, and Sidereal times. The reverse side of the ticket features one section of a Renaissance map of the night sky. If you put together 12 tickets you will get the whole map. The original entrance ticket was designed by Mr. Vojtěch Sedláček.
RNDr. Zdislav Šíma writes in visitor's book:
"Although I personally reviewed the original scenario of this museum, I have been really fascinated by the resulting exhibition. The builders eventually exceeded all expectations and showed an absolutely excellent piece of work within the small space available to them. My honours and praise to them for their work enabled thanks to the generous support by the owner of this house. Bravo!"


Gheysen, J., Marteleur, M., van der Rest, C., Simar, A. (2021) Efficient optimization methodology for laser powder bed fusion parameters to manufacture dense and mechanically sound parts validated on AlSi12 alloy. Materials & Design, Volume 199, 109433. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2020.109433
Abstract : The main drawback of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), commonly called selective laser melting (SLM) is the high porosity which may lead to an early failure of the parts. To minimize it, the L-PBF parameters need to be optimized focusing on the laser power, scanning speed and hatching space. However, no standard guideline exists. In this study, an efficient and cost-effective methodology is developed and validated on AlSi12. This innovative methodology brings together single scan tracks (SST), macroscopic properties analysis and design of experiments (DOE). It requires three batches of SST, cubes and tensile samples. The DOE significantly decreases the manufacturing and characterization costs. 9 SST are sufficient to identify a process window that is 85% similar to the one obtained from a full factorial design with 105 SST. This process window reliably leads to high densities and better mechanical properties in comparison to the state-of-the-art properties reported in the literature for L-PBF AlSi12. In conclusion, a methodology using only 9 SST, 18 cubes and 12 tensile tests has been validated on AlSi12. It is further envisioned to optimize the L-PBF parameters of any existing or new alloy leading potentially towards better mechanical properties than the state-of-the-art in the literature.
Keywords : Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), Selective laser melting (SLM), Parameters optimization, Methodology, Design of experiments (DOE), Aluminum alloy

When you create a site, follow the tips below to make it more readable by everyone, including people with disabilities.
Include alt text
Use alternative text (alt text) for images, logos, drawings, and other graphics. Without alt text, screen reader users just hear “image.” Some images automatically include alt text, so it’s a good idea to check that the alt text is what you want.
Add or edit alt text
- Select the image or logo.
- Go to More editing options Add alt text.
- Enter alt text in the description field.
Use high-color contrast
High color contrast makes text and images easier to read and comprehend. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 recommend a minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for large text and 7:1 for other text and images. For example, avoid light gray text on a white background.
You can use Chrome DevTools to review suggestions for increasing color contrast and apply them to your site.
Use informative link text
Screen readers can scan for links, so informative link text is helpful. It’s best to use the title of the page as the linked text. For example, if you’re linking to your profile page, the link text should say “my profile,” not “click here” or the full URL.
Check text size and alignment
To make your site easy to read, use large, left-aligned text when possible. Justified text is more difficult to read because of extra space between the words.
Use text to support formatting
It’s best not to rely on visual formatting alone to communicate meaning. Screen readers might not announce formatting changes, such as boldface or highlighting. For example, to mark an important section of text, add the word “Important.”
Use numbered and bulleted lists
Google Docs and Google Slides automatically detect and format some lists for accessibility. For example, if you start a new line in your document by typing the number 1 followed by a period, the new line automatically becomes the first item in a numbered list. Learn how to format bulleted and numbered lists.


Meditation Room Ideas
There has never been a time when more and more people are trying to find solace from their hectic lives than now. The busier we get the more we look for that quiet stillness that we desperately need to balance ourselves. Meditation room ideas are becoming more popular every day now that people realize the importance of having a space in their home where they can stop, take a breath and re-connect with their true selves.
Before we get into some meditation room ideas you must choose an area of your home, preferably an entire room, but it can be anywhere, including the bath tub. This space will feel right to you, because it has great energy and give you a feeling of comfort. Have you found it? Great, let’s prep your new sacred space.
Prepare Your Room
After you have chosen your space that you feel resonates some good energy, you can proceed with preparing your space.
- Empty your space – Take out all unnecessary clutter out of your new-found space and find a new spot in your home for it.
- Clean your space – Time for some ‘spring’ cleaning. Wash the walls, dust the cobwebs on the ceiling and in the corners, clean the windows and screen, sweep and mop the floor .
Choose Your Style
There are many examples here, but it is up to you to choose your own style. You must choose something that resonates with you, and something that can bring out the best in you and shows your own personality. These are just examples, take what you need and leave the rest.
What About the Elements?
Have you thought of bringing in the elements? I’m talking about earth, water, air and fire. Honor them, connect with them. Without these elements we wouldn’t exist. Bless them and thank them, or just make them present in your new meditation room. Here are some ideas of incorporating the elements:
- Earth – Bring in beautiful live plants. It refreshes any room to bring plant life into it. Think trees, shrubs, flowers, etc.
- Water – I like the idea of having a fountain in the room, even a small desk fountain. The sound is an added relaxation bonus. If the sound of running water makes you want to run to the bathroom, another idea is bringing in a copper or porcelain bowl and fill with fresh water and sprinkle flower petals on top.
- Air – It would be nice to have a small fan on in the room to get the air flowing. Stagnant air is stagnant energy. Open a window to bring in fresh air, and hang a bamboo chime by it for added comfort.
- Fire – This element brings the room its wonderful ambiance so use scented or unscented candles, incense, or try a Himalayan salt or quartz lamp.
Make Yourself Comfortable
Have you made your new meditation room your own? Great news, I’m so happy you’ve started on a path of balance, quiet, stillness, and healing.
Do you feel comfortable with your own meditations? If not, there are plenty of guided meditations on YouTube that can help you along while you make this journey to healing your inner-self.

Lauryn Prattes has been in the world of weddings and event design for 15 years.

Lauryn brings her knowledge of fashion and interior design to her events, working with layers of texture and details to create personalized and high style events. Lauryn’s natural design taste is classic and timeless design with a modern and romantic twist. Memories of visiting Paris as a little girl, and later her study abroad trip there also serve as influence to many of her events, bringing a subtle hint of Parisian flair. No matter how beautiful the design, Lauryn knows it is equally important that the logistics of the event operation run smoothly as well. Her 15+ years of event experience ensures that every detail is well thought out and planned for.
When Lauryn isn’t planning weddings you can find her chasing after her almost three year old daughter, Harper Rose, and cooking dinner at home with her husband Michael.
With over a decade of experience designing events for esteemed dignitaries and the world’s most respected leaders, Ramsey is renowned for her impeccable taste, unfailingly positive energy, and professional discretion. She understands that how an event feels is equally important to how it looks, prioritizing special, intimate moments amidst incredible scenery and celebration.
Ramsey’s love of design and beautiful details began at a young age, watching her grandmother, a trusted friend and clothing designer for multiple First Ladies including Nancy Reagan, Betty Ford, and Lady Bird Johnson. She learned early on that having a passion for perfection will never go out of style, and that creating beauty in everyday moments brings joy to herself and others.
Ramsey joined the LPE team in 2016 and immediately became beloved by our clients and creative partners. She is now our Lead Event Designer and serves as the Director of West Coast and Destination Operations. Her events have been featured in BRIDES, Martha Stewart Weddings, Over the Moon, Style Me Pretty, and more. She splits her time between the Napa Valley, California and Deer Valley, Utah with her husband, Charles, and their adorable puppy, Hank.
Leigh began her event planning career as an intern for Lauryn Prattes Events while studying for her degree in Public Relations and Advertising. What started out as a summer internship quickly grew into assisting Lauryn throughout college, and then joining the LPE team upon graduation. 2021 marks 5 years since Leigh first joined the LPE team and she is well recognized by clients and vendors alike as an integral part of our success.
Leigh has in-depth knowledge of events large and small, tented or hotel events, as well as long standing vendor relationships. She is always the first to remember an upcoming birthday and send a thoughtful note. She approaches event planning with organization and a relaxing and reaffirming smile. She works hard to ensure her clients happiness, while also creating excitement among the vendor team.
Leigh lives in Arlington, Virginia where you can catch her at a workout class, happy hour toasting with friends or walking her Golden Doodle Theo.
Francesca Leme (Francie) is a natural-born planner and leader. Growing up in the suburbs of DC, she exhibited early styling proclivity, meticulously planning themed parties, designing costumes, and mastering the term DIY..all at the age of 9.
A lover of logistics and design, Francie has spearheaded many social events and fundraisers, as well as interior design projects. After college, Francie joined an international educational firm based in the DC area, where she quickly advanced through the ranks of sales, operations, management, and business development. Event and wedding planning fully shifted from a passion to a career following the planning of her own wedding, and she hasn’t stopped producing beautiful events since.
Francie is an edgy, innovative thinker, a fixer, a detail enthusiast, a go-getter, a list checker, and will stop at nothing to get the intended result. She thrives on humor and sees the beauty in all the organized chaos of running an event. A natural “word sleuth” Francie can be found coming up with catchy phrases and playful verbiage for signage, and will be the first to catch a typo in any document.
Francie lives at the Wharf with her husband and new baby Emerson, as well as their dog, Siri. In her spare time she is also mastering Italian in the hopes of any weddings abroad.
Wether it is a signature cocktail names after the location of your first kiss, or a cocktail bar featuring drinks from the restaurant you got engaged at, providing your guests with a well styled signature sip is the perfect way to welcome them and set the tone for the rest of the event, while infusing some personal details too.
A brides wedding gown is such an incredible special part of the wedding day, and intimate part of the planning process. When our clients allow, we love to be part of styling our clients look from head to toe, ensuring she is in the perfect gown to say "I Do", which often influences some of the rest of the design too!
To us, design is all about the layers. For seated dinners, part of these layers is creating the perfect, inviting table for guests to enjoy while the eat, toast and laugh the night away. From artfully selecting the perfect linen, place setting, menus and florals, so much care, thought and time goes into creating each of our table designs.
We have a weak spot for pretty paper goods and believe that they truly set the tone for any great event. And of course we love calligraphy and have been known to challenge our calligraphers to write on everything from macarons to glass jars.
We love a statement floral moment that wows guests and anchors the space. From floral arches to floral bars, we love dreaming up ways to have your flowers make a big statement in the space.

ICADS Key Contact Tim Morawetz recently published his second book, Art Deco Architecture Across Canada: Stories of the country’s buildings between the two World Wars, that profiles 150 Jazz Age, Streamlined Moderne and Stripped Classical buildings from coast to coast. The featured structures – designed by many of the country’s leading architects – range from high-rise office towers and department stores, to churches, private homes and neighbourhood movie theatres.
The buildings are brought to life through more than 400 contemporary colour photographs and rare archival images, all with detailed captions. But beyond its photos, the book tells the fascinating stories of the people and organizations that commissioned these buildings, and the communities in which they were built. Its Foreword was written by Alistair Duncan.
With its period typography, authentic colour palette and square shape, the 320-page book embodies the grace and sophistication of the Deco era.

I was referred to Victoria when the original graphic designer I contacted was unable to help me since she was super busy. I was a bit bummed that the original designer couldn't help me but as soon as I checked out Victoria's Instagram I was so excited to get in contact with her. We chatted on the phone and right off the bat, I had such a good feeling about her. I needed her assistance in designing a logo, t-shirt designs, business cards... basically the works for my new company. I shared all my ideas with her and what she created for us was beyond my expectations. She was able to bring my ideas to life even better than I had pictured in my head! She provided me with options for each of my ideas and I picked my favourite. I had a hard time picking which designs I wanted to take to print because they were all so good. I really appreciated her honestly and how she communicated with me so openly. She truly had my best interest at heart. She is super professional, easy to talk to, efficient and is very good at what she does. Her prices for designing are very reasonable and she lets you know when she will have the designs to you and checks in with you to make sure she's on the right track. I don't think I've ever been so excited to get an email because I know she's going to have some awesome designs for me to review! Victoria is officially my company's graphic designer. I will continue to go to her for all my designs and I will happily refer her to anyone looking for a graphic designer! Launching a new company is not an easy process but she made the design part such a positive experience. Thank you Victoria!!
- Jackie Kawaauhau, Aloha Kai Apparel
I couldn't be happier with Victoria!! She turned my vision into a website and gave me everything I wanted. I gave her 'a look I was going for' and she gave me more than that. Turn around time was AMAZING and she is so great with communicating. THANK YOU!!

I am an event planner and recently was looking for a graphic designer to design custom stationery for a client throwing a storybook themed baby shower. As I was doing my research I came across Victoria's beautiful work on Style Me Pretty from previous chic baby shower she designed for earlier in the year. I reached out right away to see if she could create a few custom pieces for my baby shower which included advice cards, storybook themed place cards and other creative custom signage for the shower. Victoria was quick to reply and so collaborative, creative and knowledgeable in all her suggestions. The guests and myself were so pleased and impressed with the final results and how the stationery tied the baby shower's theme together beautifully. I look so forward to working with Victoria on future projects as she was very professional, a creative and unique designer, and was such a joy to work with!
- Kristine King, Kristine King Events
I have had the privilege of working with Victoria on multiple projects. Her expertise, combined with her warmth and professionalism is what makes her the best! There is no job too difficult for her to tackle, and she always does so with poise. From website building to stunning stationary, we have been lucky enough to use all facets of Victoria’s work for our business, and will never go to anyone else!
- Michelle Webber, Founder, Joie & Luxe Event and Wedding Management
Victoria is amazing! Not only is her work phenomenal but she is quick and efficient (which works amazing with me as I tend to be very last minute with things!) I would highly recommend Victoria to absolutely anyone!
- Shayla Rose, Rose Quartz Makeup Services
Victoria is amazing! She's designed many mail campaigns, donor development pieces, event promo materials, and more for us over the years. She really takes the time to understand what you're looking for and never fails to bring your brand to life! We've always appreciated her professionalism, how flexible she is, and her ability to meet (sometimes very tight) deadlines. We highly recommend Victoria for all your design needs!
- Andrea Slamaj, Marketing & Communications Manager at Mercy Canada
Victoria designed my website, logo, and business cards for my makeup + hair business. I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out! She was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process and took the time to listen to what I wanted. Victoria not only has great style but she is a professional and got everything done in a timely manner! I was so happy when I saw everything come together... I even cried when I saw my website for the first time! If anyone is wanting to boost their business or in need of something creative, Victoria is your girl! Highly recommendable!
- Rochelle Dewey, Beauty By Ro

In response to the rising demand for power independence and addressing blackout issues in most areas, BLUETTI announces the second generation of the modular power station – AC500. Being BLUETTI’s most powerful solar generator it has ever made, the AC500, along with the companion battery pack B300S, has got everything ready for home emergencies or outdoor activities.
Rest assured in the event of a blackout
Nothing is more frustrating than experiencing a sudden blackout on summer days. With the 24/7 UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) function, the AC500 can automatically detect the power failure and take over 99% of household needs in just 20 milliseconds, including CPAP, fridge, microwave oven, washing machine, or even the garage heater. AC500 is designed to cover essential appliances during power outages.
Power Monster doesn’t correlate with mammoth
The capacity of AC500 can be expanded by connecting B300S or B300 external battery packs to a maximum of 18,432Wh. In addition, the modular design significantly shrinks the overall size and unibody weight, while increasing the flexibility to carry each module individually instead of everything at once.
Get prepared wherever power is in need
No need to rely on the utility grid, no more worry about power failure. AC500 + B300S combo can be charged at home with wall outlets, in the car with a cigarette lighter port, or even in the wild with merely prime sunshine. A perfect solution to save electricity bills while always keeping critical devices powered and ready to go.
BLUETTI and eco-friendly energy
BLUETTI is dedicated to building a future with eco-friendly energy. AC300, the first modular power station introduced by BLUETTI, has proven to be a triumph since its debut. Now AC500 is a fully upgraded version with various features. With a 5,000W pure sine inverter (10,000W surge), it runs the high-power devices without any hassle. In addition, the intuitive BLUETTI App directly monitors and controls AC500 at any time.
Antique gasoline generators, which produce toxic fumes pollution, and unbearable noise and consume non-renewable petroleum resources, are a thing of the past. This AC500 is definitely a powerful beast of the future, kickstarting a new era of go-solar.
With over 10 years of industry experience, BLUETTI has tried to stay true to a sustainable future through green energy storage solutions for both indoor and outdoor use while delivering an exceptional eco-friendly experience for everyone and the world. BLUETTI is making its presence in 70+ countries and is trusted by millions of customers across the globe. For more information, please visit BLUETTI online at https://www.bluettipower.com.

You only need three parts to build your homemade poultry feeder.
- A plastic pail.
- A planter tray/saucer/holder. Whatever you call it.
- Some wood
I use a 19L pail for my feeder, but you can use any size you like.
I have a cunning technique for matching the pail to the tray. You might want to write this down. OK, here goes. When you’re in the hardware store pick the size of pail you need. Then carry it over to the gardening section and find a tray that is 4 inches (ish) wider than the base of the pail. Pretty good eh? Works everytime.
Do you need a lid? Well, I use a lid for my turkeys, but not for my chickens. The chickens use it as a roost and the lid gets covered in poop. If the thought of chicken poop on top of your feeder excites you go for it.
As I mentioned above, the tray needs to be approximately 4 inches wider than the bottom of the pail. The tray needs to be at least 2 inches deep so the feed doesn’t come over the side. The one I got is 2¾” deep.
Your homemade poultry feeder needs a base. We are going to screw from the inside of the pail, through the tray and into the wood. I am using two 12″ pieces of 2″x 4″ for this feeder.
Making The Holes
Next, I made holes in the side of the pail as close to the bottom as possible. I used a 1⅜” (35mm) hole saw drill bit. You could use a utility knife or heat up an old knife, but I don’t recommend this technique. The hole saw is by far the safest method. Remember, it’s hard to pick-up a chicken without fingers.
You don’t want to make the holes to big. I did that on my last feeder and the birds took full advantage of the free-flowing feed, 24 hours later it was empty and the feed was all over the floor of the coop.
I marked the centres of the holes 4″ apart with a black marker. The bottom of the hole needs to be as close to the bottom of the inside of the pail as possible.
Putting Your Homemade Poultry Feeder Together
Put your two pieces of wood together and place the tray on top. Then place the pail on top of the tray making sure everything is centred.
Put some screws through the base of the pail, through the tray and into the wood.
All you need to do is give it a wash, fill it with feed and put it in front of your birds.


CONSULTATION - DESIGN - CONSTRUCTION
Our Design Philosophy:
You Deserve Paradise, We Create Paradise
Golden Gate Palms prides itself on providing total site solutions in land planning and development. We believe that a landscape should not only be beautiful, but useful as well. Not only should it be a place for relaxation, recreation, and contemplative reflection, it must additionally solve everyday problems. An effective landscape must work for its users. This means critically addressing every square foot to achieve the greatest aesthetic and utilitarian effect possible. Of course, the solution will be different for each project. We study your lifestyle and unique needs to determine the best use of your outdoor space. As part of the process, we respect and celebrate your unique desires, existing architecture, and the natural features of the site and its surroundings to achieve a harmonious space that not only enhances your life but also maximizes your property value.
Golden Gate Palms offers a full array of design services ranging from economical, one hour consultation site visits, limited ongoing design assistance, to fully executed site plans and corresponding landscape installation. Since 1985 at the tender age of just 16, chief designer Gary Gragg has designed and installed nearly every conceivable style of landscape imaginable. However, it is in the realm of subtropical garden design that sets Gary apart from all others. Gary has an intimate understanding of subtropical design style and the complexities of the San Francisco Bay Area climate. Thoroughly understanding and utilizing to best advantage this ultra complex macroclimate and the many unique microclimates of each individual site is critical to create a successful subtropical garden. No one can do this better than the Golden Gate Palms team.
Growing up, Gary’s obsession for plants and the living environment set him apart from his peers, but also planted the seed for a successful career. Today, Gary has achieved a dream that is elusive for most people: he loves what he does.
After working through college creating gardens throughout San Diego County, Gary founded Exotic Flora Landscape & Nursery, Inc. in 1991. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Gary designed and installed hundreds of residential gardens as well as dozens of notable commercial projects, including seven major exhibits for the Oakland Zoo.
In 2001, Gary founded Golden Gate Palms Nursery Inc. which has grown to become the largest and most diverse collection of palms and exotic plant material available for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area. Many of the large palms that grace public avenues and large buildings throughout the region have been grown and supplied by Gary’s firm.
In 2005, Gary set his sights further and decided he wanted to create a garden television show to bring his love and enthusiasm for plants to the world. In the Spring of 2006, he created a major exhibit for the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show. His exhibit, “Livin’ Cheap in Baja” won the prestigious “Best in Show” award and caught the eye of HGTV. HGTV's Superscapes was born.
HGTV’s Superscapes features Gary as host, designer, and builder. Two seasons were shot with a total of 26 episodes. Also in 2008, after a decade of horticultural experimentation, Gary patented a new plant variety called Agave attenuata ‘Kara’s Stripes’, which he named after his wife. He then created another Agave attenuata variety that is pure gold which he named after is Daughter Raea, "Raea's Gold." To complete the trifecta, Gary has found a random seedling avocado variety that creates monstrous sized fruit right here in the Bay Area and has cloned this variety and named it "The Big Mup" after his second daughter Arianna "Muppy" Gragg.
In 2011, Gary purchased a Citrus Ranch in Winters, CA to utilize as a nearby hot climate growing ground for the Palm Nursery. In addition to having ample space and well water for the nursery plants, the property came with a working citrus orchard of over 120 mature Navel oranges and other various fruit, Gary helped his children set up a home delivery fruit service called Alta Crest Fruit Company to deliver this wonderful crop to the kitchens of the East Bay. Gary has transformed the grounds around the Early California themed spanish ranch house into an epic landscape and exotic botanical garden featuring a plethra of rare subtropical plants, An 8 acre Native California plant Restoration landscape, natural rock freshwater spring plunge pool, huge patio entertaining areas, bocce ball court, volleyball court and even a full size "Field of Dreams" style baseball diamond The breathtaking property can be rented out as a family vacation, couples weekend getaway, corporate retreat, or even wedding location.


May I present our wonderful Classics Club logo, designed by our very own Barbarann! It depicts Hektor and Achilles in action and incorporates the lovely diagonal composition that you may remember from last term was a favoured technique of the Greek sculptors and artists. Note also the rippling muscles (!) of the heroes and their kilt-like attire together with the plumed helmets, all of which we have read about recently.
The grapes are a nod to the wine which the heroes frequently drink and offer to the gods, and are also reminiscent of Homer’s epithet for the sea as ‘wine-dark’.
Barbarann had the excellent idea of including the words ‘Classics Club’ in Greek and Latin. The Greek version means ‘Greek club’ and the word for Classics in Latin should strictly also be ‘Greek’ (Graecus) but I thought we should give the Romans their due, hence ‘Romanus’. The Greek word for club also means ‘companionship’ and the Latin one is literally ‘a circle or group for conversation’. I think both of these descriptions fit our group rather well. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your companionship during these difficult times and for being part of such a lovely circle.
A huge thank you and congratulations to Barbarann for creating such a lively and appropriate image - perfect for bringing us all cheer and inspiration!

Most artwork provided to Thompson Print & Mailing Solutions is in the form of an electronic file of your print communication piece. This is frequently created using industry-standard desktop publishing programs such as Adobe Creative Suite or Quark Xpress. One of the biggest issues in the processing of electronic files by Thompson Print & Mailing Solutions is that they are all too often not print-ready. To help avoid electronic files that can’t be processed, please follow the checklist below:
1. INCLUDE BASIC FILE INFORMATION
When submitting the file, include the name and version number of the program used to create the artwork (ex: Adobe Creative Suite 6, or Quark Xpress 5.0). Include the file name, finished size, and page count including the cover. All of these are basic checks our prepress department will use to make sure we are working with the correct file. Having this information upfront saves time by answering the most basic questions.
2. INCLUDE FONTS
Include all the fonts that are used in the piece. Thompson will not be able to see or use your selected fonts if they are not included in the file. Most desktop publishing programs have an option to include or embed fonts when you create a PDF of your file; this is our preferred file format. In some graphics programs, text can be converted to outlines or curves. Doing so ensures that your text remains intact even if we don’t have your font on file. Text is no longer editable once this is done, so make sure you’ve checked your spelling.
3. INCLUDE IMAGES
Include linked images on your printed piece. Linked images are the images for a piece that must be linked to the area of the project and saved with that project. We are not able to see images that are not linked.
4. OBSERVE SAFE AREA, TRIM, & BLEED
The trim size should be the same as the final printed size. Bleeds are used if you need your printed piece to have color to the edge of the page. Bleeds should be exactly 1/8″ over the final finished size. Extend any background colors or design elements all the way to the bleed edge, 1/8″ outside the trim line. To be at full bleed, the design must extend to the edge of this bleed area. This ensures that an unwanted white border is not shown after the document is cut.
To avoid having text or images cut off during trimming, please keep all important information within the safe area. This is generally 1/8” inside the trim line.
5. DIAGRAM SHOWING BLEED, TRIM, AND SAFE AREA.
When your document has a fold, honor a safe area on either side of the fold line as well. This will keep your important information from falling into the fold when the piece is finished.
6. INCLUDE NAMES OF SPOT COLORS
Include all unique colors (PMS Colors), and the spot color names and numbers. Include those numbers in an email or in the file.
7. SAVE FILES IN CMYK FORMAT
Artwork is frequently created in RGB so that you can view it on your computer monitor. CMYK is the full-color process system that we use to create the high-quality, vibrant colors of offset printing. If your software allows color profiles, use “CMYK: Web Coated (SWOP) v2” to view the most accurate representation of your final printed colors.
8. CREATE HIGH-RESOLUTION ART
Make sure your project is saved at 300 dpi. Many times pictures that you took off the Internet or pictures that you have scanned will not be 300 dpi. 300 dpi is the minimum image resolution that is recommended to deliver clear and vibrant pictures. Pictures that are less than 300 dpi will be fuzzy and unclear.
IMAGES BELOW 300 DPI MAY NOT REPRODUCE WELL.
It is best to use vector graphics when possible as opposed to raster or bitmap images in your designs. They are able to retain high image quality at any size. Raster images are composed of tiny dots called pixels. Pixels placed close together fool our eyes into seeing a continuous area of color. When you need gradients or photographs, raster images are generally your best option for this reason. However, because they contain a fixed number of dots, a disadvantage of raster images is that when you enlarge a raster image, their ability to fool the eye suffers. There may be more space between the dots and the dots get larger. Raster images should be used in printing as close to 300 DPI (dots per inch) as possible. Lower resolutions may result in “pixelation” or fuzzy images, as seen above.

12.12.040 Design specifications.
A. Allowance. The maximum number of driveway aprons allowed per lot is two. Additional driveway aprons will not be approved unless there is shown to be an absolute necessity for them.
B. Location. A driveway apron shall not be located in such a place as to interfere with another legal encroachment or create a hazard or nuisance.
1. Separation. Driveway aprons on the same lot must be separated by a minimum of 30 feet measured from an apron edge to the next apron edge at the right-of-way line.
2. Proximity to Intersections. Driveway aprons may not be constructed closer than 35 feet measured at the right-of-way line to the intersection of two public rights-of-way, of a lot corner or point of curve return.
3. Side Lot Line Setback. Driveway aprons may not be constructed less than 10 feet from the side lot line. An exception will be granted by the city for planned unit developments, zero lot line type facilities, four-plex or larger residential buildings, and common driveways. This restriction may be waived for narrow lots 60 feet wide or less.
4. Angle of Intersection. Driveway aprons should intersect the public right-of-way at a 90-degree angle and in no case may intersect at less than a 60-degree angle.
5. Fillet Radii. The intersection of a driveway apron and a public road shall be constructed with a minimum fillet radii of six feet. Recommended residential fillet radii is 10 feet. Recommended commercial and industrial fillet radii is 15 feet.
6. Traffic Considerations. Driveway aprons for business enterprises that serve vehicles, or provide services or entertainment to customers while in vehicles, shall not be constructed so as to cause traffic congestion within the public right-of-way. The driveway beyond the right-of-way must be of sufficient length and width to accommodate the vehicles and be designed to provide for the safe and expeditious handling of traffic as determined by the city.
1. Residential. The finished surface width of driveway aprons to serve residential or dwelling house lots shall be a minimum of 10 feet and a maximum of 20 feet measured at their narrowest point.
2. Commercial. The finished surface width of driveway aprons to serve commercial/industrial lots shall be a minimum of 11 feet and a maximum of 30 feet measured at their narrowest point.
3. Exceptions. The city will grant automatic exceptions to residential and commercial driveway apron widths if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
a. The driveway apron intersects a public thoroughfare classified as rural, local/neighborhood, or minor collector;
b. The property owner will accept any additional construction or maintenance expense incurred for the installation of culverts, etc.; and
c. The proposed design assures that vehicles will not be backing onto the public thoroughfare from the driveway apron.
The city may grant a width exception if only some of the immediately preceding conditions are satisfied.
D. Length. Driveway aprons shall extend from the edge of the finished surface of the intersecting public thoroughfare to the edge of the public right-of-way at the lot being served by the driveway. For a new driveway apron intersecting an existing paved public thoroughfare, which has no remaining unimproved right-of-way, the property owner will construct a paved driveway apron at least six feet long on his property.
E. Drainage. Driveway aprons shall be constructed so that all runoff is directed to the ditch line (and not across the public thoroughfare), and shall not cause erosion of the public right-of-way or deposition of soils onto the public thoroughfare. In the event that a driveway apron increases drainage to the roadway ditch, the city may require that the applicant provide a means of accommodating the additional drainage.
F. Culverts. Culverts shall be installed when required by the city. Culverts are to be laid to the flow line grade of the existing roadside ditch. Culverts shall extend a minimum of two feet beyond both edges of the slope of the driveway apron or install manufactured end sections where it crosses the ditch line. In areas of major drainage the city may require a steam thaw pipe to be installed in the culvert.
G. Illumination. Driveway aprons onto public thoroughfares from major commercial and/or industrial establishments require a roadway illumination review by the city. The applicant will be required to install roadway lighting if the city determines that lighting is necessary for the safe and efficient use of the driveway apron. The city, using the latest guidelines established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, and/or city luminaries standards will specify the type, number and location of luminaries to be installed.
H. Delineation. For driveway aprons that are intended to serve commercial or industrial establishments markers, signs, curbs or other types of barricades shall be installed to clearly delineate and define the entrances and exits and to prevent egress and ingress at points other than the approved locations. All driveway aprons leading to four-plex or larger residential buildings shall be marked with reflective flexible delineators. Delineators may be required at other sites for traffic safety reasons.
I. Slope. To protect the structural integrity of the public thoroughfare no driveway apron may be constructed with a driveway centerline slope which would cause a standard passenger vehicle to drag bottom.
J. Line of Sight. For public safety reasons the city may require the removal of, or prohibit the construction or installation of any structures or landscaping features over three feet high and one foot wide at site level (between three feet and eight feet in elevation) which obscure the line of sight in the triangular area 25 feet on two sides bounded by the public thoroughfare and the driveway apron/driveway.
K. Snow Storage. The property owner shall make adequate provisions on his or her own lot for the storage of snow plowed off of the driveway apron and fronting right-of-way. (Ord. 02-21 § 2, 2002; prior code § 14.15.040)

Disk space required for installation is 722.49 Kb
In short, camsource grabs images from a video4linux device and makes them available to various plugins for processing or handling. It features a modularized and multithreaded design to offer a large amount of flexibility. A server plugin runs in its own thread, which makes it possible to use the same grabbed frame for several purposes at the same time. There are also filter plugins, which can be daisychained to create useful and no-so-useful effects in images. The configuration happens through an xml config file, hopefully making configuring camsource an easy task.
