Engineers turn laser cutter into an open-source 3D printer

The new platform, OpenSLS, can print complex 3D parts from powdered plastics and biomaterial.

February 23, 2016   Staff

Bioengineering researchers at Rice University have made an open-source laser sintering printer by modifying existing laser cutting technology. The new platform, OpenSLS, was adapted from a commercial-grade CO2 laser cutter and has the ability to print complex 3D parts from powdered plastics and biomaterial.

The system includes low-cost, open-source microcontrollers and electronics, including Arduino and RAMBo boards. By leveraging existing technology, engineers were able to build OpenSLS for under $10,000, which is 40 times less than traditional counterparts.

“SLS technology is perfect for creating some of the complex shapes we use in our work, like the vascular networks of the liver and other organs,” says study co-author Jordan Miller, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice who specializes in using 3D printing for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

For the most part, SLS machines, which have been around for the past 20 years, don’t allow users to create objects with their own powdered material. Having the capability to print with different biomaterials is important for researchers, explains Miller.

One of the advantages from starting the project from a CO2 laser cutter was the similarities in design needs. “The cutter’s laser is already in the correct wavelength range — around 10 micrometers — and the machines come with hardware to control laser power and the x-axis and y-axis with high precision,” Miller said.

The team demonstrated that the machine could print a series of intricate objects from both nylon powder — a commonly used material for high-resolution 3D sintering — and from polycaprolactone, or PCL, a nontoxic polymer that’s commonly used to make templates for studies on engineered bone.

The OpenSLS constructs parts by using a laser that points to a bed of plastic powder, melting or sintering it, forming a small volume of solid material. The laser traces in 2D, fabricating a single layer of a final part. After each layer, a new layer is laid down and the laser retraces it.

Miller explains that the process can be compared to creating crème brûlée, where a chef sprinkles a layer of powdered sugar, uses a torch to head the surface, melting the powder and forming a solid top layer. Instead of powdered sugar, the team is working with powdered biomaterial and the heat source is a focused laser beam.

“Because the sintered object is fully supported in 3D by powder, the technique gives us access to incredibly complex architectures that other 3D printing techniques simply cannot produce,” Miller said.

Miller also adds that their work with the OpenSLS provides the scientific community with an accessible platform for the study of laser sintering and the fabrication of complex geometries in diverse plastics and biomaterials, a win for the open-source community.

Amphibious Construction

Amphibious Construction flood c StolonStudio.jpg

An amphibious building, or can-float building, is one that is designed to float in the event of a flood, but to rest on solid foundations at other times. This unusual hybrid building typology has an express purpose to protect the property from flooding by floating when water levels rise.

Amphibious buildings are typically designed as to be conventional fixed buildings but constructed with technology also used in floating buildings. They are not designed to float continuously, instead, they float when flood levels reach a certain level, hence the alternative name - can-float.

To make any object float it requires bouyancy. As buildings are heavy, water levels need to be sufficient to provide the bouyancy to enable them to float.

Unlike a floating home which requires a permanent deep body of water, an amphibious house only needs to float when water levels rise, and reach the sufficient depth to provide buoyancy, i.e. during a flood. This means that an amphibious building may be bigger and heavier than a floating one, which may be limited in size by the depth of water.

Most amphibious buildings use a concrete pontoon base, rather like the hull of a boat, where the height of the pontoon is determined based on the level of water required to make the structure bouyant. From experience a single storey height concrete pontoon can support a light weight 2 storey building above. This has the added advantage that the space within the pontoon can be used as accommodation rather like a traditional basement.

Steel pontoons, which are lighter than concrete pontoons, may support larger buildings than those using similar sized concrete pontoons. However, in addition to buoyancy the issue of balance must be considered. A boat is made stable by its keel. A floating structure is reliant on maintaining a low centre of gravity. The heavier the base the lower the centre of gravity. Therefore a building supported by a steel, plastic or timber pontoon may be less stable than a concrete one.

A further consideration is the tethering. Whilst a floating structure can rise and fall, held roughly in place by a mooring post, like a boat; this may not be suitable for a building where it may need to land in exactly the same place that it floated from. In this situation, complicated control measures maybe required to restrain the structure.

Whilst there are other issues, the most challenging is servicing. Like a moored boat: electricity, water, waste, and telecom connections need to be flexible. This in itself is not complicated but the distance of travel during a flood can be substantial, so the location of pipes needs to be carefully considered. From experience the waste water discharge is simplest when pumped, thereby facilitating a useable connection at all times regardless of flood levels.

Amphibious Construction parts c StolonStudio.jpg

Key components of amphibious construction include:

  1. Locating dock, permeable concrete base and structural guide posts
  2. Water resistant pontoon construction, such as waterproof concrete or steel
  3. Raised apertures, doors and windows
  4. Flexible and insulated services
  5. Pumped foul drainage

For further information about this type of construction please refer to the case study in the RIBA book ‘aquatecture’.

Iowa State's drained defense can't deliver one last stop

Tommy Birch
The Des Moines Register

WACO, Texas. — Iowa State's defense carried the Cyclones for most of Saturday.

But it eventually wore down.

Iowa State’s strong defense couldn’t deliver one last stop Saturday, giving up a 54-yard scoring drive that ended with kicker John Mayers booting a 38-yard field goal to give Baylor a 23-21 win over the Cyclones at McLane Stadium.

“That’s what team does, right,” said Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. “Team takes care of each other. We didn’t do that. Offensively in the first half, we didn’t take care of the defense and then in the second half, the defense didn’t take care of the offense. That’s what teams do.”

That was the problem Saturday.

The defense shined in the first half. The offense shined in the second half. And the two groups, only for a short period of time, played in rhythm.

The defense is what kept the Cyclones in the game for most of the day. Iowa State’s defense limited Baylor to just 142 yards of total offense in the first half. The Bears tallied just 45 yards on the ground and scored one touchdown in the first half.

That didn’t come until late in the second quarter when the Bears used a 12 play, 68-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead in the second quarter on a 9-yard touchdown pass by Charlie Brewer.

Sep 28, 2019; Waco, TX, USA; Baylor Bears wide receiver Denzel Mims (5) catches a pass for a touchdown over Iowa State Cyclones defensive back Tyler Rodgers (25) during the first half at McLane Stadium.

It could have been worse had the defense not kept delivering. Iowa State’s offense, which continually moved the ball, couldn’t finish drives for the first three quarters. The Cyclones were whistled for a pass interference call, quarterback Brock Purdy was picked off and kicker Connor Assalley missed a field goal attempt and had another blocked. But Iowa State’s defense stayed strong … for awhile. That’s nothing new for an Iowa State team that hangs its hat on strong defensive play.

“We always put the defense in a tough situation,” said Iowa State running back Johnnie Lang. “But they always give us the shoulder to lean on in the games. They always have our back and we’ve got to do a better job of having their backs.”

They do. Because the defense could only carry them for so long, especially with temperatures skyrocketing on the McLane Stadium turf and Iowa State’s tents on the sidelines being taken away. Eventually, the defense got drained. Baylor scored touchdowns on two of the first three possessions in the second half and built up a 21-0 lead. The Cyclones started missing tackles, making mistakes and giving up big plays, something you rarely see from an Iowa State defense.

The defense, which usually comes up with the big stop or the big pick, delivered a big stop on fourth down and a late three and out to give the Cyclones a chance to win the game. But they couldn’t keep doing it. The pressure they got on Brewer for most of the first half wasn't there for most of the second half.

"I think Jon (defensive coordinator Jon Heacock) would tell you we were too inconsistent at times," Campbell said. "We had the ability at times to make plays and when we needed to make plays, we just weren't our best...I think those are things that, it's the story of our football team right now, that consistency. You see excellence at times and flashes of excellence. it's putting together those four quarters of it."

Sep 28, 2019; Waco, TX, USA; Baylor Bears running back JaMycal Hasty (6) stiff arms Iowa State Cyclones linebacker Mike Rose (23) during the second half at McLane Stadium.

Brewer came up clutch against the defense twice on third down during the game-winning drive. With the Bears facing third-and-9, Brewer rushed 10 yards for a first down. Later in the quarter, Brewer helped the Bears convert on third-and-5 with a 6-yard pass to Denzel Mims. The drive ultimately ended with Mayers lining up for the chip shot, go-ahead field goal attempt.

“They did a good job,” said Iowa State tight end Chase Allen. “It’s hard to get those amount of stops against an offense that talented.”

Iowa State nearly did it. But the struggles of the offense in the first half eventfully caught up with the defense in the second half. Even with Iowa State rotating in and out on defense, the group could only do so much. Baylor eventually got into a rhythm offensively, tallying 411 yards of total offense on the day.

Baylor’s third quarter scoring drive took up 75 yards. Its second in the quarter used 90 yards on the way to the end zone.

“It always comes down to a few plays that define an entire game,” said Iowa State safety Greg Eisworth. “We just go to get in and figure out how to correct those minor mistakes in critical moments.”

Data fabrics free up the data to be innovated at source while liberating data for better discovery, management and governance.

In tandem with the rise of the digital economy, business organizations have had to accelerate and strategize to identify, capture and optimize the use of data in business decision-making.

The current global health crisis has proven to be a catalyst in putting data front and center in the way businesses operate today, and processes and systems are fast being streamlined and data-dependent and data-driven.

However, with valuable data existing in varied formats and quality levels, the rise of data sprawl—the overwhelming amount and variety of data produced—has posed a real challenge for many organizations. That is, organizations often struggle to efficiently convert and make full potential use of their often-siloed data and turning it into intelligible insights.

According to a recent IDC report, more than 80% of IT leaders reported data sprawl as one of the most critical problems they face today. Nonetheless, data management has evolved significantly since the 1970s, when we first stored and accessed data by interpreting it in different spindles and punch cards. Here, I introduce the concept of logical data fabrics as the modern solution to data sprawl. The technique that allows data to be more efficiently converted and used for business purposes.

The Logical Data Fabric

To enable business organizations to achieve a unified view of information across applications and databases, computer scientists have created centralized repositories for storing data, starting from the concept of data warehouses in the 1990s and graduating to data lakes in the past decade.

This approach, while attempting to go against data gravity—which pulls the data towards its sources and away from central repository—works only for some period of time. Scientists have realized: data that is quickly moved apart into decentralized components as new data, continuously sprouted in other locations.

In due course, rather than forcefully consolidating the data into a central physical repository, a new data management paradigm called the logical data fabric has emerged. Similar to the weaving of textile fibers to produce cloth, the logical data fabric knits a virtual view of data across applications by leaving data at the sources where they are created, while allowing a unified view of all enterprise data.

What makes the data fabric successful is that data virtualization forms its core technology and many of its capabilities are automated through AI and Machine Learning (ML).

As organizations increasingly store data in multiple cloud-based platforms, which can add to existing on-premises data silo problems—the concept of a data fabric has increased in importance.

Stop collecting and start connecting

Specifically, logical data fabric enables organizations to stop ‘collecting’ their data into a central repository and start ‘connecting’ to the data at the sources through data virtualization. Regardless of the data’s location—on-premises or in the cloud; format—structured or unstructured; or latency—data in motion or data in rest, data fabrics free up the data to be innovated at its sources while bringing it together in a virtual fashion for the benefits of data discovery, management, and governance. It hence operates according to the concept of data gravity.

This way, logical data fabric greatly improves the efficacy of business data users. For one, without needing to move data from its source into a temporary repository, IT teams no longer need to program ETL scripts for the purposes of converting data before loading it into target systems. Data virtualization can perform transformations on the fly, which saves on storage costs.

Furthermore, data virtualization’s low- to no-code approach significantly reduces the manpower and effort involved to technologically develop the unified views that organizations demand.

More importantly, it serves as a virtual catalog for all data assets within the enterprise, including the sources of data origins, its format, and its relationship and association with other data assets. Through this catalogue, business users are not required to access different systems to perform actions such as data discovery or documenting business definitions for the purposes of data governance.

In addition, logical data fabric possesses powerful data preparation capabilities to normalize data formats and simplify them for business consumption. Business users will then be able to easily access the data within their favorite analytical, operational, web, or mobile applications.

Enhancing the data fabric with AI/ML

As mentioned above, the logical data fabric is already embracing AI and ML to automate some routine tasks, and this is set to intensify in future. At most business organizations, data is constantly evolving, new data sources are routinely added, and new forms of data are being innovated.

AI and ML analyze changing data patterns and automatically integrate new data for unified views, delivering them in the most appropriate formats to business users. The incorporation of AI and ML technologies allows organizations to improve their understanding of the consumption behavior of certain users and to share new data sets for further analysis and collaboration.

Other AI and ML benefits include raising efficiency and productivity levels among data scientists working on related projects. These data fabrics will enable them to optimize data models for deeper analytics and insights.

Thanks to the tremendous benefits outlined above, the logical data fabric is no longer just a concept: its adoption has been gaining speed. By adhering to the principles of data gravity, providing business-friendly views of enterprise data in its entirety, and automating data monetization with AI and ML, data fabrics will be one of the hottest data management trends in 2020 and beyond.

Now collect your reward. Each quark not released by a paratrooper is worth 1000 bonus points in the first play level. The more squadrons you eliminate, the greater your Quark Bonus! Space Flier.

Restore Energy levels Naturally with Ribose

What is Ribose?

Ribose is an all-natural 5-carbon sugar that helps facilitate the production of ATP. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary source of energy for all of our cellular processes. It has been referred to s the "energy currency" of our cells. Ribose is also present in RNA (ribonucleic acid), which is important in protein synthesis. Our bodies naturally make ribose, but not very quickly in heart and muscle cells. These muscle cells use Ribose to produce energy within the tissue.

Current research suggests that this essential sugar:

  • Increases energy reserves
  • Helps maintain healthy energy levels in heart and muscle tissues
  • Promotes muscle recovery
  • Promotes increased cardiac efficiency and lowers stress during exercise
  • 100% pure d-Ribose
  • Convenient single serving packets
  • Easily dissolves into any beverage
  • A month supply
  • Ideal for your exercise regimen

Quality of Highway Runoff Water in Austin, Texas Area

Credit: 5 PDH or CE Hours
Course Fee: $60.00
35 pages

Course Summary:

Nonpoint pollution resulting from storm water runoff has recently been recognized as one of the leading causes of the degradation of the quality of receiving waters in the United States. The area southwest of Austin is part of the recharge zone of the Barton Springs portion of the Edwards aquifer. This is a karst aquifer, which is characterized by numerous caves, sinkholes, and other solution features. Recharge enters the aquifer directly through fractures and other openings a the surface, so very little filtration of the runoff occurs before entering the aquifer. The aquifer provides the sole source of drinking water for approximately 35,000 residents of Hays and Travis counties. Construction of new highways in the recharge area of the aquifer led to the concern that nonpoint source pollution from highway runoff could pose a serious threat to the quality of the groundwater and the health of area residents.

Learning Objective:

This portion of the research study focused on the characterization of the quantity and quality of runoff from existing sections of the MoPac expressway and estimation of the pollutant loads resulting from runoff from existing and newly completed sections of highway under different vehicle use patterns. The effects of drainage system type, traffic volume, and surrounding land use on highway storm water runoff characteristics were investigated. In addition to the average quality of runoff, the temporal variation in quality was also studied. A “first flush” effect (i.e., higher concentrations of pollutants at the beginning of runoff events) has been reported in several studies and is often used as the justification for the design standards which require capture and treatment of the first 1/2 inch (or other arbitrary volume) of storm water runoff. The information developed in this study should result in improvement in the design of drainage and treatment systems for highway storm water runoff. Better designs will act to reduce the impact of highway derived nonpoint source pollution on the environment.

Lil Rob Live in Denver Tonight June 26th

Lil Rob Live in Denver Tonight June 26th
Monika Mullins Twitter InstagramFacebookTSU

Rap fans of Colorado rejoice Chicano Rapper Lil Rob will be live in Denver tonight at The Roxy Theatre. Lil Rob probably one of the great Chicano Rappers of all time and will definitely be bringing a good time with this concert. Sure to be “one of those summer nights”.
Lil Rob has dominated as one of pioneers of Chicano Rap releasing everybody’s favorite jam ‘Summer Nights’. He got his start in Hip-Hop by break dancing as a child. Lil Rob started rapping in the studio when he was 16 years old, and has been tearing it up ever since. In the early 90’s he started performing under Lil Rob & The Brown Crowd and recorded a single “Oh, What a Night”. Rob has collaborated with fellow Chicano Rappers Mr.Shadow, Mr.Sancho & OG Spanish Fly and with mainstream artists Paul Wall, The Game, E-40 and Pitbull. Lil Rob eventually left Low Profile Records and signed to Upstairs Records. He was able to go big with the release of his album Twelve Eighteen pt. 1. The album featured his single “Summer Nights”. Which for the first time in his career was able to receive national airplay. “Summer Nights” ended up being #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. It’s probably one of the best Chicano rap songs because when you’re driving in your low-low on a hot day it puts you in such a good mood. He had another single to “Bring Out The Freak In You” which rose up to #20 on the Hot Rap Tracks.
One of my favorite things about Lil Rob is that he’s Chicano Rap till he dies. He knows who he is and isn’t going to change for anyone but at the same time doesn’t hate anyone for what they are. He sings a lot about that in his song ‘I’m Still Here’.
Also performing during the night includes Dank 1, Neeko, So Real, P.A.C., Bugsy, Crazy Joe, Env and Johnny Angel. DJ Simes Carter will also be in the mix.
It will be a great concert if you like Chicano Rap music. And make sure to check out Lil Rob on Instagram @TheRealLilRob.

Joe Blogs: Tarantino – His split personalities have split personalities

It’s not a stretch to say that, unless you’re a ‘concerned parent’ or similar, Quentin Tarantino’s films mean a lot to you. ‘But how did you know, Joe?’ well it’s easy; I live in the world and I’ve spoken to humans. However, explaining why they mean so much isn’t all that easy. What makes a Tarantino film? Beats me, you just know it when you see it, right? And that’s a problem because, when you look at them, they’re a chaotic mix of themes and references that don’t follow any perceivable logic and yet somehow, they make perfect sense as a piece of cinema. But how can all that madness come out of one person’s head? I think it’s all in the conversation. I’m not talking about his trade-mark dialogue. I’m saying I don’t know how many guys Mr. Tarantino has got living inside his marvellous brain, but he’s not alone in there. On top of that, they all talk to one another and cooperate in the most amazing way… and each of those people is a genius.

I’m sure a ‘rational’ argument can be made here from that essay you did at uni. Yes, they play with time; yes, they play with music; yes, they play with your trust in the characters, genre architypes, your sense of right and wrong and they show you many, many people dying. Brilliant! But loads of great directors do that stuff so how do his films retain their Tarantino-ness? I reckon he shows us parts of himself in as many ways as he can think of. So, as far as I can tell, these are the personalities that live inside Quentin Tarantino.

The Film Nerd.

First up! And this is a biggy. He’s one of your own, kids. He’s not just a film nerd, he is the Arch Film Nerd and there isn’t an obscure film or pop culture reference from the 20th Century you could throw at him that he wouldn’t be able to relate to in some way. He can even will pop culture into life! The fake trailer he made for the movie Hobo With A Shotgun, which showed in the film, Grindhouse, actually ended up getting shot and released as a proper feature (???). The Film Nerd personality leads the charge then, with characters referencing pop culture in the dialogue; like in the opening to Reservoir Dogs beginning with a musing on the true meaning of Madonna’s ‘Like A Virgin’ or the weird conversation in Inglorious Basterds about German cinema in the 30s and 40s between Winston Churchill and an army Lieutenant. The film nerd is there in the visuals too. Where do Vince and Mia go for dinner in Pulp Fiction? A Hollywood themed diner staffed exclusively by people dressed as dead celebrities. As they enter, we’re treated to a tour of the restaurant, which shows imagery like cars from the 50s, Zorro serving customers and a Ricky Nelson impersonator singing on stage. The genius here is that, in referencing iconic cinema in his early movies, even unintentionally, they inevitably became aligned with them. So, does that mean Tarantino movies are in some way responsible for our current nostalgia culture? No comment. Let’s move on.

The Sociopath.

He writes these characters so well. Tarantino’s epic dialogue can occasionally get criticised for all his characters talking with the same voice, but I think that’s a strength! He’s expressing his multiple personalities using different characters but they’re all him (they’re all Us too). Some of his most iconic and shocking scenes have come from characters who remain completely detached from the horror around them as it happens and seem to draw strength from the panic and fear of others. You can see this when Mr Blonde cuts off a police officer’s ear in Reservoir Dogs or in the terrifying scene in Inglorious Basterds when Hans Lander intimidates a farmer into admitting he’s hiding a Jewish family under his floorboards, which quickly leads to them being slaughtered in front of him. While all of this is happening, the sociopath stays calm and in control, never even reflecting on what they have done in a negative way.

The films themselves can be quite sociopathic too! Sara Trombetta (DMS Production Assistant) says, ‘it’s never easy to guess what’s coming,’ because characters and situations that make you feel comfortable can suddenly turn to disaster with no warning. One example of this that really gets me is in Jackie Brown; a film championed by Abi Adamson (DMS Head of Talent Acquisition) and Rachael Dudley (DMS HR Business Partner). Ordell goes to see Beaumont after paying for his bail and asks for some help with a dangerous deal. He persuades him, quite convincingly, to get in the boot of his car before driving 200 metres into a nearby car park, opening the boot and shooting him point-blank. Wasn’t expecting that! Hurt my heart! Nasty film! I thought Jackie Brown was meant to be the nice one.

The Psychopath.

Seems like a cliché. Don’t care, they’re everywhere! I tend to side with psychopaths in his films because they’re actually really relatable in the moment. A psychopath has more of a moral code, and you can see they have reasons for their actions. Unfortunately, their actions happen to include some of the most horrific acts of violence ever committed to film. DMS Marketing Coordinator, Grace Chapman remembers how she revelled in watching Uma Thurman ‘slicing heads for 10 minutes straight’ the first time she watched Kill Bill Vol.1, which brings back fond memories for me too, but also makes me a little wary of my dear colleague. Beatrix in the Kill Bill films is indeed one such relatable psychopath. She feels emotions, she can invest in people and even display maternal love when introduced to her daughter, whom she thought was dead. (Worried about spoilers? Then, go and watch some films, people!) She’s also able to detach herself completely and relieve another character of her eyesight shortly after punching her way out of a grave. If these people exist, I want to live in a bunker! Other examples of those cool, psychopathic cats include Mr White in Reservoir Dogs, Django in Django Unchained, Shoshanna in Inglorious Basterds, Jules in Pulp Fiction… I could go on because basically, if you find yourself in a Tarantino movie, you’re either a sociopath, a psychopath or a by-stander. And you’ve probably got minutes left to live.

The Romantic.

Not romantic in the holding-hands-on-the-beach, take-me-now, define-me-and-ultimately-disappoint-me sense, but more like how he romanticises America and classic movies. The films play with genres all the time, even crossing genres in the same movie. Like Inglorious Basterds is a WW2 movie but really, it’s a gangster flick or Reservoir Dogs is a heist movie but really, it’s a morality play. The films are hyper aware of the genre they are inhabiting at the time and Simon Adamson (DMS Project Manager) even pointed out that there was bloodier cut in Kill Bill Vol. 1, specifically for the Japanese audience. It was only a matter of time then, before he made his love letter to the golden age of cinema, which is coming out soon (Once Upon A Time in Hollywood) but then he went and threw in the Manson family? There may be a stretch with the romanticism here but let’s see if he pulls it off.

The dialogue also uses reference points to trigger our memories into making us feel a certain way about the characters  and the ultimate situation like, ‘An undercover cop’s got to be Marlon Brando’ or ‘We’re all gonna be like three little Fonzies here.’ The romanticised, classic reference makes the films feel old even when they’re brand new. It’s what gives them their ‘coolness’. Oh god, the nostalgia thing is his fault, isn’t it? And now all I can hear is the Saved By The Bell theme tune. And now so can you… sorry.

There’s definitely more in there than these examples but in the context of a light-hearted blog, an academic case-study here would be about as relevant as a biopic without drug abuse. I could do an entire blog on just his use of music (and I might). All in all though, I think the reason his different personalities work so well together is because they effectively embody the universal characteristics of the human condition that we all feel we need to suppress. These films are the darkest parts in all of us. He makes them acceptable and even likeable. We’re all a little psychotic; we’re all a little romantic and idealistic; we’re all little cold; and we’re all a little nerdy. In fact, Tarantino might be the sanest one of us all for expressing this stuff in a healthy way.

Yeah, actually, he’s a genius and we’re all crazy.

Forget I said anything.

How to Install Decking Boards for a Curve

What You'll Need
Hand Gloves
Safety Goggles
Face Mask
Circular Saw
Reciprocating Saw
Power screwdriver with more than 25mm shaft bit to fix T-Clips
Power Sander
Rust-proof Screws
Support Rails or Joists
New Decking Boards
Marine Plywood, 3/4 inch Thick

If you need to install decking made of composite material or wood for a curve, you should have the right tools to do the job. With the right tools, installing decking boards for a curve becomes relatively easy and you can complete the job in a matter of hours. Here are some easy-to-follow steps to install decking boards for a curve.

Step 1 – Get the Area Ready

Wear your working clothes and protective gear, and then bring all your tools and materials to your working area. You need to remove all unnecessary objects from your working area to make it easier for you to move around and do your work. After clearing your working area, check the foundation of your decking. Ensure that the foundation is well-prepared, preferably concrete, and the joists are firmly attached across the support posts.

Step 2 – Planning and Laying the Curvature

Plan the coverage of the deck in a curved design. The first step is to extend the length of joists to cover the space where the circular deck has to stand. Locate the center joist over the whole expanse of the deck by measuring the central point diagonally across corners and drill a hole on top of it. Secure one side of the trammel with a nail into the hole and turn the other side with pencil across the corners of the deck to create a circular marking. The trammel works as one big compass. Cut the trammel mark along the joists using a reciprocating saw. Screw header boards in between the end of the joists with a slight protrusion. Mark again with the trammel, this time passing through the top of the header board to form the guide for the curvature of the deck. Cut the header boards along the marker line with a jigsaw.

Cut a portion of the marine plywood at the same width to that of the header board. Soak the marine plywood in water to make it more pliable. Apply adhesive and fix it into the curve with 2-inch screws.

Install the boards on top of the deck and secure them using T-Clips. Insert the subsequent boards under the extended arm of the T-Clip attached to the joists. Use a hammer to slip each board into place. Tap the decking board to put it into place under the T-Clip arm. Do this activity to the rest of the boards. Let the boards extend beyond the curvature.

Note the original location of the trammel hole at the center of the deck. Make a reference on top of the fixed board and let someone hold one end while you trace the pencil at the other end of the trammel to mark the curve on top of the extended boards. Cut the boards along the line using a jigsaw to form the curved deck. Make a fine finish of the cut ends by using the power sander.

Step 5 – Finishing up

Remove all wood debris and other waste materials from your deck and put them in the garbage bin. Put away all reusable materials for future use.

An Overview On Watercolor Pencils

Take your art to the next level with the best in art supplies. There is no better feeling than stocking your art bin with new, fresh supplies and starting on a new work of art. There are countless types of colored pencils to choose from but if you are looking for a watercolor effect, you’ll want the best watercolor pencils you can find to bring your project alive. There are multiple sets to choose from, but how do you know if you’re getting the best quality? There are a few factors to consider.

Watercolor pencils can give a similar finished product as watercolor paint. Although they look exactly the same, watercolor pencils are made differently than regular colored pencils. What makes watercolor pencils different from regular colored pencils is their ability to intensify color when they come in contact with water. This gives artists the same effect as watercolor paint. To better understand this, it’s essential to learn how watercolor pencils are made.

First, traditional colored pencils are most likely the tool artists start with when learning coloring techniques. What matters the most in the pencil is the medium and binder. The binder is an ingredient that holds the pigment together until it is transferred to the surface you are coloring. The binder is what will determine the type of paper you use with the pencils. So for traditional colored pencils, an oil binder or a wax-based binder is used. The wax base is most likely what you’re buying since oil is a bit rarer. Because of this, traditional colored pencils can be used on most paper types.

So, what makes one package of traditional colored pencils better than another? The biggest indicator of the quality of a colored pencil is the ratio of the binder to the pigment. If the binder is too overwhelming for the pigments, the results will be a waxy finish that could potentially flake off the paper. When the binder is too small in comparison to the pigment, the colors will be extremely light when coloring. In addition, the quality of pigment used is a contributing factor to the overall quality of the colored pencil set.

One advantage of traditional colored pencils versus the other types is the ability to burnish. Burnishing is when an artist repeatedly colors over the same area, creating a build-up of the color. This makes the wax or oil binder build up to the point where the picture looks like it is painted. In addition, this technique allows artists to experiment with different solvents to achieve different results. Turpenoid, alcohol or a blender pencil can be used to get a painted appearance that you want. Just remember that traditional colored pencils are not water-soluble with their wax or oil binders.

Now that we know how a colored pencil is made and what influences their quality, we can look more in-depth at watercolor pencils. With a water-soluble binder mixed in the pigment, watercolor pencils produce a much different effect than traditional colored pencils. There are several ways to use watercolor pencils. You can use a brush to gently brush over the applied colors, you can dampen your paper and then add color, or you can dip the pencil in water before coloring. The pigment becomes brighter as it comes in contact with the water and creates an incredible blend of colors with one sweep of the pencil. Because of the use of water, you’ll want to make sure you use watercolor pencils on the right paper. The watercolor paper is usually a bit rough in texture and thicker to help absorb some of the water while not tearing. This is how you can get a watercolor paint result from watercolor pencils.

There are a few benefits to using watercolor pencils. The first benefit is control. As arts expert Amy Markham, an artist and the creator of Starling, a podcast geared towards artists and their growth, says: “Watercolor pencils give you the control of drawing with the ability to diffuse the linework you create with water and create the effects of watercolor painting.”

In comparison to watercolor painting with a brush, most artists find better control with a pencil. The second is detail. Markham supports this by saying, “They are great for adding small details that are hard to create with a paintbrush. So, you can draw in thin lines and complex details over your watercolor paintings.”

With a nice sharpened watercolor pencil, you can get extremely fine details that would be difficult with a paintbrush. The third benefit is convenience. When you don’t have a lot of space, time or money, it is so much more convenient to pull out a set of watercolor pencils rather than set up with paints and brushes and easels. All you need for the watercolor pencils are water, a brush (if you so choose) and the paper. Even Markham concurs that they are quite “portable.”

Now that you know how they are made and what makes them so useful, you can confidently shop for a great set of watercolor pencils. There are just a few sets that come highly recommended to get you started on your watercolor journey.

Check out the huge variety of colors in the Castle Art Supplies 72 Watercolor Pencils Set. This set has all the colors for blending and layering.

Look for a gorgeous collection of highly pigmented watercolor pencils. In addition, you want them to be specially bonded to resist breaking. This set will give you a complete range of colors to create vibrant pictures for beautiful art.

Beginners would do well with a simple set of just 24 pencils. With basic but essential colors, you’ll find all that you need for adult coloring books, beginner watercolor art and detailed drawings.

If you’re looking for a complete kit, the Magicfly Water Color Pencil Set comes with it all. With two fine-tip paintbrushes, a sharpener and 72 pencils, you will have it all. Plus, it is all organized in a durable, metal case for easy transport.

The Watercolor Pencil Buying Guide

  • Determine the best set for you depending on your skill level. Start with a smaller kit if you are just beginning out and a larger set if you’ve got some experience.
  • You can use quite a few things to add water to your watercolor pencil art including spray bottles, cotton swabs, spray bottles and toothbrushes even.
  • A good sharpener will make a world of difference, especially with the wooden watercolor pencils.

GDC Awards

Here was the best part:

Actually, what he said right here was, 'It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lucas.'

Shaking Shigeru Miyamoto’s hand on stage. I was so excited that I tensed up and crushed his gentle fingers in my vice-like grip. Look how he winces in pain!

“Did you get a chance to play Psychonauts yet, Miyamoto-san?”

“Please… ow… you’re crushing my hand.”

“I could send you a free copy! You’re awesome!”

“We’re on stage. People are looking. I’m right-handed…”

“I really like it when Mario swims! Where did you get the idea for coins?”

“Gahhh! I beg of you.”

“Ha ha! What’s up with that Wario guy? Why does he hate Mario so much?”

And then his translator tasered me. But I didn’t mind. It was a magical experience that I will never forget, because if I ever started to, I could just watch it again on Gamespot.

I wanted Loco Roco to win more awards, though.

Hey, everybody look the other way while I tell Loco Roco how I really feel about it, okay?

Hey, Loco Roco? I love you.

Holden confirm Colorado Z71 Xtreme edition

More rugged Colorado adds $19,000 of extra kit

Alex Rae
17:27, 09 August 2018

Holden has confirmed it will sell the Z71 Colorado Xtreme down under.

As first reported by Drive in June, Holden has officially announced the toughened-up Colorado Xtreme which is already on sale in New Zealand will go on sale here later this year.

Priced at $69,990 driveaway, the Xtreme commands around a $10,000 premium over the permanent flagship Z71 and is priced closer to rivals such as the Toyota HiLux Rugged X and its own HSV Colorado Sportscat.

Inspiration for the model comes from the Colorado Xtreme Concept vehicle unveiled at the 2016 Bangkok motor show and, like that vehicle, standard accessories fitted to the production model have been designed and produced by GM’s Australian team based in Port Melbourne.

The highlight of design work is the factory-fit bullbar with LED lights, Warn winch and bash plate. As Drive understands from a source close to the project, the bullbar incorporates a world-first patented mechanism that allows the system to be compatible with certain safety technology and standards.

In total, Holden says that the equivalent of $19,000 in added value has been equipped to the Xtreme model including the best in-class winch system that has a 10,000lb load capacity and 30m synthetic line, bash plate, recovery hooks, black grille, bonnet bulge, flared guards, rear sports bar, tonneau cover, black tubular steel side steps and rear bar, steel roof tray kit, towing pack and unique 18-inch alloys with 265/60 Goodyear Wrangler all terrain tyres.

The front suspension has been made firmer to cope with the added weight over the nose but there are no further chassis tweaks underneath.

The engine remains the same 2.8-litre diesel turbo four-cylinder engine producing 147kW of power and 500Nm of torque mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Connected to low-gear four-wheel drive system the ute has a 3.5-tonne towing capacity.

While clearly targeted at off-road and tow markets the Xtreme does not gain a rear-differential lock, though Holden marketing manager Andre Scott says the vehicle is one of the most capable dual-cab utes as is.

“As a base vehicle, Colorado Z71 is already very capable, so we’ve expanded our genuine accessories range for additional off-road capability. Cue the Holden winch system, the Xtreme’s hero accessory, which is a game-changer.

“Backed up with a long list of accessories, customers can have confidence that their ute will not only look rugged but will be able to perform in the harshest of environments.

“The top end of LCV market continues to develop, and we’re seeing a growing number of customers demanding greater off-road capability.”

The limited edition Colorado Z71 Xtreme goes on sale from October 1 and is priced at $69,990 driveaway.
