The old town square at Nové Mesto nad Metují, Czech Republic - the home of Prim watches.
On September 26, 2008 my family and I were privileged to spend the day in the beautiful town of Nové Mesto nad Metují in the east of the Czech Republic, close to the Polish border. Our host was Mr. Jan Prokop, Marketing Director (and principal designer) at the ELTON hodinárská, a.s. - the manufacturers of fine bespoke Prim wristwatches.
Mr. Prokop collected us from our hotel in Prague, drove us to Nové Mesto nad Metují and back (a round trip of three hours), presented their current product range, guided us through their interesting museum, and led us on a tour of the full manufacturing operation at Prim. This was a fantastic opportunity, and we got to see everything from the manufacturing of cases, dials, hesatite crystals and hands through to the final assembly process. We also saw great examples of their bespoke manufacturing capability as well as their top class restoration service. Mr Prokop ended a fine day with a meal and good local beer in a restaurant on the old town square.
Six weeks after our visit I sent my prized Prim Sport "Igen" 38 (produced in the 60's and early-70's) to ELTON where it is currently being restored and modernised to my specification, as well as being personalised. I can't wait to get it back - my first bespoke wristwatch and an heirloom to pass on to my son!
Although obviously sensitive about certain parts of their operation, Mr. Prokop graciously allowed me to take many photographs during our visit, and here they are for your viewing pleasure. As you will see, these are truly hand-made watches that combine both leading edge design and manufacturing processes and age-old processes and technologies. It is this progressive traditionalism and craftsmanship that gives these unique timepieces their individual character...and I love them!

Huawei’s Q2 2023 smartphone sales surged by 58%
The boost in Huawei’s sales can be attributed to the resumption of its regular product release schedule, allowing the company to leverage its well-established brand image and widespread offline distribution channels across top-tier cities. This strategy resulted in a surge in sales after overcoming initial product shortages.
Among other manufacturers, Realme and Apple also achieved positive growth in Q2, while Vivo secured the top position with a market share of 17.7%.

Huawei to Use China Fab's 7nm Node to Overcome U.S. Sanctions: Report
Huawei Technologies, which is banned from using U.S.-originated technologies, is planning its return to flagship smartphone market by the end of the year, reports Reuters citing three research firms. The company will reportedly use Chinese fabs and technologies to produce advanced chips required for 5G handsets, although the details remain vague.
Reports from several research companies covering the Chinese smartphone market indicate that Huawei will likely be able to secure domestic 5G chips, thanks to its own developments in semiconductor design tools and chip manufacturing by the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. In particular, Huawei is rumored to make use of SMIC's N+1 manufacturing process, which belongs to 7nm-class production nodes, though it is likely that the high-tech giant will use a refined version of N+1.
Huawei's current flagship P60 Pro smartphone relies on Qualcomm's platform as well as the company's own Harmony OS operating system. Using SMIC's production node, the company could probably produce a cheaper handset for the mass market, increase sales of its smartphones, and gain experience with domestic technologies for 5G smartphones. The company has reportedly upped its smartphones sales projections for 2023 from 30 million to 40 million.
What remains to be seen is whether Huawei can produce a rival for the Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 platform using one of SMIC's nodes.
Earlier this year Huawei announced that it had developed electronic design automation (EDA) software to design chips based on 14nm-class and thinner process technologies, which represented a significant advancement for the Chinese EDA industry. Huawei expected to complete testing on this software in 2023 and indicated plans to use its EDA software to design its proprietary HiSilicon chips.

"When it was operating full time, Watkins Mill employed 40 workers -- 25 men, 10 women and five children. Most of the men were highly proficient workers called operatives. The women were weavers and the children were often apprentices who were learning the mill industry. The Mill's original work force included immigrant English, Irish, French, Canadian, German and Swedish employees, as well as individuals from the eastern United States. Because of the skill involved, mill workers were often well-paid.
The process was quite detailed. After a sheep was sheared, the wool was matted together to resemble a thin rug, then rolled into bundles. About two-thirds of the material was then sorted by grade and scoured by a willower, a machine that pulls the wool apart and removes dirt and natural oils. It could then be made into yarn or cloth, or dyed. From there, the scoured, unscoured and dyed wool went to the picker room, where the sorts were divided and placed into uniform layers, then fed into the picker, which prepared the wool for carding by pulling it apart into small, fluffy bits.
Carding machines untangled individual fibers and reduced sheets of wool to a continuous strand. The material was then ready to be spun into yarn. After this, it could be sold or continue within the manufacturing process to be woven into cloth, often with complex patterns.
Powering the Mill's looms and machines was a 60-horsepower slide-valve steam engine that Waltus Watkins purchased from a company in St. Louis, Mo. The engine had been salvaged from a river steamboat and its wood-fired boiler provided the 100 pounds of pressure needed to operate the Mill's equipment at the correct speed.
Although the milling process and its associated equipment and employees were expensive to coordinate, the business was profitable. Because of transport costs during the 1850s and '60s, goods produced on the East Coast were not always readily available throughout America. As a result, by 1870 there were about 880 woolen mills located in the Midwest alone."
I did a lot of brazing for training purposes before building my firs own fork.
Joints were cut to analyse solder distribution and connection between materials.
Enjoyed the improvement in the manufacturing process!

A wonderfully strong and yet not overpowering beer, pours well, and has a meringue like heard, which then fades away leaving a wonderfully complex beer.
I like it.
------------------------------------------------
Refreshing as an aperitif, and just as full of flavour and rich in aroma as a beer from heaven. That's Deus.
A magnificent symbiosis of brewing a beer and creating a sparkling wine. Ideal for delighting your guests sometime as an unusual choice with before-dinner nibbles and amuse-geules. Perfect if you have something to celebrate.
Truly the sparkling divine drink based on barley. The result of a months-long manufacturing process in which the best of two methods is combined. In Belgium the master brewer ferments the beer. After that the DeuS to be travels to France where it is transformed into a sparkling divine drink using a centuries old technique.
The elegant contours of the bottle are advance proof of the delightful subtlety of Deus. In a flute glass you will discover a light blonde to pale golden beer, brightly scintillating, saturated and with extremely tiny bubbles.
Deus is crowned by a fine linen white, meringue-like head. A fascinating complexity. It develops the fragrance of fresh apples backed by mint, thyme, citrus, ginger, malt, pears, hops, allspice and cloves. Deus is delicate and complex.
It glides over the tongue as smoothly as silk and then blossoms into a creamy, tingling sparkle. Deus is light and vivacious and seduces you with the sweetness of a grape and the fruitiness of a desert apple.
The finish is beautifully dry with a bare hint of tannin.
"It's stunning - I've never had anything like it." Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster and International Beer Expert
"Other great beers might approach but not quite match the delicacy of Deus." Michael Jackson, Reknowned Beer Author
(En) Founded in 1906, the Coking Plant of Anderlues was specialized in the production of coke for industrial use.
Coke was obtained by distillation of coal in furnaces and, thanks to its superior fuel coal properties, it was used afterwards to feed the blast furnaces in the steel manufacturing process.
Closed and abandoned since 2002, the site has since undergone many losses and damages, not including an important pollution. While some buildings have now been demolished, there are however still some important parts of the former coking plant.
Among them, the former coal tower, next to the imposing "battery" of 38 furnaces, where the coke was produced. Besides them, we still can see the administrative buildings, the power station with its cooling tower, and buildings for the by-products, which were obtained by recovering the tar and coal gas. There are also a gasometer north side, the coal tip east side and a settling basin south side.

(Fr) Fondées en 1906, les Cokeries d'Anderlues étaient spécialisées dans la fabrication de coke à usage industriel.
Le coke était obtenu par distillation de la houille dans des fours et, grâce à ses propriétés combustibles supérieures au charbon, il servait par après à alimenter les hauts-fourneaux dans le processus de fabrication de l'acier.
Fermé et laissé à l'abandon depuis 2002, le site a depuis lors subi de nombreuses pertes et dégradations, sans compter la pollution qui y règne. Si certains bâtiments (comme l'ancien lavoir à charbon) ont aujourd'hui été démolis, on retrouve encore toutefois certaines parties importantes de cette ancienne cokerie.
Parmi celles-ci, l'ancienne tour à charbon suivie de près par l'imposante "batterie" de 38 fours, où était produit le coke. A côté d'eux, on découvre également les bâtiments administratifs, la centrale électrique avec sa tour de refroidissement, ainsi que les bâtiments des sous-produits, lesquels étaient obtenus par récupération du goudron et du gaz de houille. Et en périphérie, on retrouve un gazomètre côté nord, le terril à l'est et un bassin de décantation côté sud.

Unlike artificially made licks, these Himalayan salt licks offer numerous health advantages to animals. These are as pure as was the ocean 250 years ago. These wonderful licks undergone through a longest natural manufacturing process spanning 250 million years. During this process nature had added 84 precious minerals and trace elements in right proportion, at right time and under right temperature and pressure.
This natural process started when primal ocean got dried up by the sun energy leaving behind a largest bed. With passage of time this sea bed get covered up by trillions tons of rocks and earth and went completely hidden and unapproachable by living creature on the planet in that region. The site where all this happened is known as Himalayan foot hills now a days.
A team of researchers led by Cev Noyan from Columbia University is conducting experiments at VULCAN, SNS beam line 7, as part of an ongoing study of suspension bridge cable design. Shown here is Adrian Brügger from Columbia University.
Suspension bridge cables are made up of parallel wire strands bundled together. Moisture, local defects in the wire, and contaminants can cause corrosion and cracking in the wire. The team is using neutron diffraction to understand the effects of these breaks on the overall strength of the cable. These experiments will help quantify the effect of mechanical interference of the outer wires with the central wire on the strain transfer to a broken wire. Essentially, they want to find out if there’s a break in one of the hundreds of wires that makes up a cable, at what distance from the break does the wire begin to carry the load due to friction and wire twist.
Using neutron diffraction allows for nondestructive study of the wires, and thus more accurate measurements of the wire strain. Other methods of making these measurements, like adding sensors to the wire, disrupt the contact mechanics of the whole system. Additionally, VULCAN offers a unique environment for their experiment where the team can apply torsion to the wire specimen, twisting it to represent the natural curving that the wires exhibit as a result of coiling the cables during the manufacturing process

Two inscriptions - one on the marble colonnade in the Forum and another by the rear entrance in Via dell'Abbondanza - attribute this building to Eumachia, a priestess of Venus and owner of a flourishing business operating in the wool industry, which she had inherited from her husband.
Indeed, this is thought to be the seat of the Corporation of wool and cloth manufacturers, although another interpretation claims that the building was dedicated by the priestess to the Gens Iulia and was used for cult worship of the Emperor Augustus through the statues of his ancestors. It may well be that the building served both commemorative and commercial functions.
The building itself dates from the Tiberian age and looks onto the Forum from a facade with two apses and four rectangular niches which, according to the fragments of inscriptions found here, housed the statues of the imperial family's ancestors: Aeneas, Romulus, Julius Caesar, the Emperor Augustus, as in the Augustan Forum in Rome.
Just inside the entrance, on the right we find a small room that was used as a urinal. Its location at the vary centre of the Forum can be explained by the need to procure urine, which was used to bleach material in the manufacturing process.
A large courtyard inside the building was surrounded by a two-storey colonnade with an Apse that housed a statue of the Concordia Augusta on a podium.
On the other side of the colonnade wall with its large windows stood the three-sided Cryptoporticus. Here, behind the Apse the statue of Eumachia was found in a niche adjacent to a small corridor leading to Via dell'Abbondanza, right in front of the fountain that gives its name to the street (the Street of Plenty). Damaged during the earthquake of 62 A.D. the building had been only partially restored by the time of the eruption. The wool-makers dedicated a statue to the priestess, whose family manufactured tiles and amphorae and also made wine. The statue is on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

MAK Art Print Hall
Already for the tenth time, the MAK in the exhibition 100 Best Posters 14. Germany Austria Switzerland shows the hundred most compelling design concepts in the probably hottest medium of visual everyday culture: the poster. The current winning projects of the popular graphic design competition are characterized by an enigmatic pictural humor, explosive colors as well as precise designs and demonstrate impressively that a poster can be more than just an banal advertising space. Many of the award-winning works furthermore also rely on a subtle play with typography. Innovative ideas can also be found in the manufacturing process: This year's competition shows that you can readily knit posters in high-tech process or use a thermo-insulating space blanket as carrier material for screen printing.
Hardly any medium is such clocked on the consumption and nevertheless sets trends at the cutting edge. "[...] The poster designer challenges himself repeatedly and enjoys himself at gained symbols." Says Götz Gramlich, President of the association 100 Best Posters eV, and he postulats. "A good poster unfolds in the mind of the beholder."
From over 1 800 submitted individual posters, composed of contract work, self-initiated posters/self-promotion as well as student project orders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, awarded the international jury, consisting of Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Chairman), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) and Ariane Spanier (Berlin), the 100 winning posters of the year 2014.
In the competition participated 575 submitters (men and women), of which 48 are from Austria, 128 from Switzerland and 399 from Germany. The leader among the winning 100 best is Switzerland with 51 winning projects, followed by 44 German and 5 Austrian contributions.
The by sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig and Florian Koch, Vienna) designed catalog offers in addition to the illustrations of all the winning posters and the contacts with the designers also this year a captivating essay by Thomas Friedrich: On the dialectics of image and text in the poster today. In a concise way, he looks at the contextuality of posters and explains the theme facetiously and pictorially based on a poster for a bullfight. Read more in the catalog!
For the corporate design of this year's competition and the new Web Visuals also sensomatic design, Vienna, is responsible. Since June 2014, the new online archive on the homepage of the 100 Best Posters Registered Association offers a comprehensive overview of all award-winning works from the years 2001-2014.

Bereits zum zehnten Mal zeigt das MAK in der Ausstellung 100 BESTE PLAKATE 14. Deutschland Österreich Schweiz die einhundert überzeugendsten Gestaltungskonzepte im wohl heißesten Medium der visuellen Alltagskultur: dem Plakat. Die aktuellen Siegerprojekte des beliebten Grafikdesignwettbewerbs bestechen mit hintergründigem Bildwitz, explosiver Farbgebung sowie exakten Ausführungen und demonstrieren eindrücklich, dass ein Plakat mehr als nur banale Werbefläche sein kann. Viele der prämierten Arbeiten setzen außerdem auf ein subtiles Spiel mit Typografie. Innovative Ideen finden sich auch im Herstellungsprozess: Der diesjährige Wettbewerb zeigt, dass man Plakate ohne Weiteres im Hightech-Verfahren stricken oder eine thermo-isolierende Rettungsdecke als Trägermaterial für einen Siebdruck verwenden kann.
Kaum ein Medium ist derart auf den Verbrauch hin getaktet und setzt dennoch Trends am Puls der Zeit. „[…] der Plakatgestalter fordert sich immer wieder selbst heraus und erfreut sich an gewonnenen Sinnbildern.“ so Götz Gramlich, Präsident des Vereins 100 Beste Plakate e. V., und er postuliert: „Ein gutes Plakat entfaltet sich im Kopf des Betrachters.“
Aus über 1 800 eingereichten Einzelplakaten, zusammengesetzt aus Auftragsarbeiten, selbst initiierten Plakaten/Eigenwerbungen sowie studentischen Projektaufträgen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, prämierte die international besetzte Fachjury, bestehend aus Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Vorsitz), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) und Ariane Spanier (Berlin), die 100 Siegerplakate des Jahres 2014.
Am Wettbewerb hatten sich 575 EinreicherInnen beteiligt, davon 48 aus Österreich, 128 aus der Schweiz und 399 aus Deutschland. Spitzenreiter unter den prämierten 100 Besten ist die Schweiz mit 51 Siegerprojekten, gefolgt von 44 deutschen und 5 österreichischen Beiträgen.
Der von sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig und Florian Koch, Wien) gestaltete Katalog bietet neben den Abbildungen aller Siegerplakate und den Kontakten zu den GestalterInnen auch dieses Jahr einen bestechenden Aufsatz von Thomas Friedrich: Zur Dialektik von Bild und Text im Plakat heute. In pointierter Form geht er auf die Kontextualität von Plakaten ein und erklärt das Thema witzig und bildhaft anhand eines Plakats für einen Stierkampf. Mehr dazu im Katalog!
Für das Corporate Design des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs und die neuen Web-Visuals zeichnet ebenfalls sensomatic design, Wien, verantwortlich. Seit Juni 2014 bietet das neue Online-Archiv auf der Homepage der 100 Beste Plakate e. V. einen umfassenden Überblick aller prämierten Arbeiten aus den Jahren 2001 bis 2014.
Die Ausstellung findet in Kooperation mit 100 Beste Plakate e. V. statt.

Bereits zum zehnten Mal zeigt das MAK in der Ausstellung 100 BESTE PLAKATE 14. Deutschland Österreich Schweiz die einhundert überzeugendsten Gestaltungskonzepte im wohl heißesten Medium der visuellen Alltagskultur: dem Plakat. Die aktuellen Siegerprojekte des beliebten Grafikdesignwettbewerbs bestechen mit hintergründigem Bildwitz, explosiver Farbgebung sowie exakten Ausführungen und demonstrieren eindrücklich, dass ein Plakat mehr als nur banale Werbefläche sein kann. Viele der prämierten Arbeiten setzen außerdem auf ein subtiles Spiel mit Typografie. Innovative Ideen finden sich auch im Herstellungsprozess: Der diesjährige Wettbewerb zeigt, dass man Plakate ohne Weiteres im Hightech-Verfahren stricken oder eine thermo-isolierende Rettungsdecke als Trägermaterial für einen Siebdruck verwenden kann.
Kaum ein Medium ist derart auf den Verbrauch hin getaktet und setzt dennoch Trends am Puls der Zeit. „[…] der Plakatgestalter fordert sich immer wieder selbst heraus und erfreut sich an gewonnenen Sinnbildern.“ so Götz Gramlich, Präsident des Vereins 100 Beste Plakate e. V., und er postuliert: „Ein gutes Plakat entfaltet sich im Kopf des Betrachters.“
Aus über 1 800 eingereichten Einzelplakaten, zusammengesetzt aus Auftragsarbeiten, selbst initiierten Plakaten/Eigenwerbungen sowie studentischen Projektaufträgen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, prämierte die international besetzte Fachjury, bestehend aus Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Vorsitz), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) und Ariane Spanier (Berlin), die 100 Siegerplakate des Jahres 2014.
Am Wettbewerb hatten sich 575 EinreicherInnen beteiligt, davon 48 aus Österreich, 128 aus der Schweiz und 399 aus Deutschland. Spitzenreiter unter den prämierten 100 Besten ist die Schweiz mit 51 Siegerprojekten, gefolgt von 44 deutschen und 5 österreichischen Beiträgen.
Der von sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig und Florian Koch, Wien) gestaltete Katalog bietet neben den Abbildungen aller Siegerplakate und den Kontakten zu den GestalterInnen auch dieses Jahr einen bestechenden Aufsatz von Thomas Friedrich: Zur Dialektik von Bild und Text im Plakat heute. In pointierter Form geht er auf die Kontextualität von Plakaten ein und erklärt das Thema witzig und bildhaft anhand eines Plakats für einen Stierkampf. Mehr dazu im Katalog!

Water wash.
At first I thought, oh no!!! the dropout shifted in the chainstay...evidence is the ridge where I knifed the dropout. O.k. DONT PANIC, find out exactly what when wrong be prepared for major rework.
I do the knifing quite accurately so that I reduce (at least in concept) post Brazing filing to a minimum, so here it certainly looks like something shifted, which can be really bad.
Well actually, nothing shifted. Fits fixture as well as it did before Brazing. I compared the O.D. Of the end of the brazed chainstay to my yet unbrazed one. Looks like the chainstay tips basically changed shape or roundness with the application of heat, the two outside edges came closer together, sort of sucked in. Didn’t take a pic, but around a mm or two in total. Position of the brazed dropout is right where I want it. What a relief.
This hasn’t happened to me before, that I’ve noticed. I suspect the very short taper in these particular chainstays have a lot of built in stresses from the manufacturing process at Columbus and some of them were relived during Brazing.
It’s actually O.K. Just a bit of filing should look nice.

The ELTON hodinárská in Nové Mesto nad Metují, Czech Republic where Prim watches are manufactured.
On September 26, 2008 my family and I were privileged to spend the day in the beautiful town of Nové Mesto nad Metují in the east of the Czech Republic, close to the Polish border. Our host was Mr. Jan Prokop, Marketing Director (and principal designer) at the ELTON hodinárská, a.s. - the manufacturers of fine bespoke Prim wristwatches.
Mr. Prokop collected us from our hotel in Prague, drove us to Nové Mesto nad Metují and back (a round trip of three hours), presented their current product range, guided us through their interesting museum, and led us on a tour of the full manufacturing operation at Prim. This was a fantastic opportunity, and we got to see everything from the manufacturing of cases, dials, hesatite crystals and hands through to the final assembly process. We also saw great examples of their bespoke manufacturing capability as well as their top class restoration service. Mr Prokop ended a fine day with a meal and good local beer in a restaurant on the old town square.
Six weeks after our visit I sent my prized Prim Sport "Igen" 38 (produced in the 60's and early-70's) to ELTON where it is currently being restored and modernised to my specification, as well as being personalised. I can't wait to get it back - my first bespoke wristwatch and an heirloom to pass on to my son!
Although obviously sensitive about certain parts of their operation, Mr. Prokop graciously allowed me to take many photographs during our visit, and here they are for your viewing pleasure. As you will see, these are truly hand-made watches that combine both leading edge design and manufacturing processes and age-old processes and technologies. It is this progressive traditionalism and craftsmanship that gives these unique timepieces their individual character...and I love them!
From Wikipedia:
"The two largest murals, on the north and south walls of the court, are considered the climax to the narrative that Rivera depicted in the total of 27 panels. The north wall puts the worker at center and depicts the manufacturing process of Ford's famous 1932 V8 engine. The mural also explores the relationship between man and the machine. In an age of mechanical production, the boundary between man and the machine was a commonly explored theme. While machines were made to imitate the abilities of man, and men had to respond to machines, workers and leaders were concerned about ethical rights for the working-class majority. Rivera also incorporated such elements as images of blasting furnaces that made iron ore, foundries making molds for parts, conveyor belts carrying the cast parts, machining operations, and inspections. Rivera depicted the entire manufacturing process on the large north side mural. On the right and left side he portrayed the chemical industry: juxtaposing scientists producing poison gas for warfare and scientists who are producing vaccines for medical purposes."
Project Title: Design a Cat Litter Tray that changes a sensory experience from around the home into a more sensually pleasurable experience.
At the Cup Noodles Museum, you can learn the secret of cup noodle and even have the opportunity to make one-of-a-kind ramen yourself.
Japanese food company Nissin operates this unique museum for Ramen.
The museum shows the 40 year product history as well as the founder, Mr. Ando Momofuku's creativity, by exhibiting 3,000 kinds of cup noodle packages.
They also recreate Mr. Ando Momofuku's humble research facility.
At "My Cup Noodle Factory," you can make your own cup noodle out of 5,460 soup base / topping combinations.
There is also "Cup Noodles Park", a playground for kids where they can experience the manufacturing process of Cup Noodle.
There is a "Chicken Ramen Factory" where you can make Chicken Ramen by hand, starting with kneading, spreading, and steaming the wheat flour and then drying it with the hot oil drying method. After experiencing the process that led to the invention of the world's first instant ramen, you can take your freshly made ramen with you and enjoy its delicious taste at home.
And of course you can enjoy global varieties of noodles in the contemporarily designed museum restaurant!
In 1880 having been taught the use of simple lathes and machinery by his uncle,
and encouraged by William Morris, William Arthur Smith Benson began metalwork production
in Fulham, London. As his business grew Benson closely followed developments in technology, mastering all the processes of casting, turning, folding and riveting many variations of interchangeable components. He opened a showroom in Bond Street in 1887 displaying
light fittings, fireplace accessories, plant stands and hollow-ware, in silver, copper, brass,
iron and polished steel, patenting many of his popular designs to protect them from the
array of sub-standard copies that flooded the market.
WAS Benson was at the forefront of electric installation in homes all over Britain, advising on suitable lighting schemes and installation. In 1893 he electrified Philip Webb’s latest architectural commission, Standen, near East Grinstead, Sussex, now owned by the National Trust.
His metalwork and lighting designs reached iconic status, sold in galleries throughout Europe,
and in 1896 when William Morris died it was Benson with a colleague who bought Morris & Co and ran it alongside his own company until he resigned in 1917.
Benson attracted much acclaim for his metalwork designs and manufacturing processes.
The Studio Magazine of Decorative Arts, The Magazine of Art, and Herman Muthesius in
Das Englische Haus, were among the many who applauded his innovations.
Mutation #1 is a sculpture stemming from digital creative and manufacturing processes and realized via 3D printing. It is the eruption of a 3D wireframe into reality. It is also an "Ikea hack", its size enabling perfect insertion into the famous Expedit bookcase. Once inserted, the sculpture customizes the bookcase by giving it a futuristic look.

What is Remy Hair?
The most favorable hair is one that is made from healthy virgin hair, meaning hair that has never been chemically treated, with minimal processing. Virgin hair is cut from an individual, it's root to tip direction is maintained and its cuticle is left intact. This is the essence of Remy hair.
Because making of Remy Hair with such strict requirements demands careful hair selection process as well as difficult manufacturing process, it cannot be supplied in mass quantities.
A true Remy Hair has texture that virtually feels like natural hair because its cuticle is left intact.
Hair that is unnaturally lustrous or is too smooth or soft is a result of over processing of the hair which includes shaving of the cuticle as well as chemical processing using softeners containing silicone.
Therefore, hair that feels too good to the touch may not be Remy Hair.
Quality of Remy Hair can be differentiated from that of other products when it is shampooed.
General hair products manufactured focusing only on texture and luster rapidly deteriorate after 1-2 shampoos
In contrast, a quality Remy Hair maintains its natural texture even when it is washed repeatedly.
Debut, a Silhouette Remy Hair, is a top quality Remy Hair made with 100% flawless virgin hair. Its quality has been certified through over a year of laboratory testing, and it will not lose its natural healthy texture even through long term use. The natural look and feel of real hair that is only possible with Remy Hair will remain use after use and shampoo after shampoo.

The Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IV), commonly known as the Panzer IV, was a German medium tank developed in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 161.
The Panzer IV was the most widely manufactured German tank of the Second World War, with some 8,500 built. The Panzer IV was used as the base for many other fighting vehicles, including the Sturmgeschütz IV assault gun, Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer, the Wirbelwind self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and the Brummbär self-propelled gun.
The Panzer IV saw service in all combat theaters involving Germany and was the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout the war. Upgrades and design modifications, intended to counter new threats, extended its service life. Generally, these involved increasing the Panzer IV's armor protection or upgrading its weapons, although during the last months of the war, with Germany's pressing need for rapid replacement of losses, design changes also included simplifications to speed up the manufacturing process.
The Panzer IV was partially succeeded by the Panther medium tank, which was introduced to counter the T-34, although the Panzer IV continued as a significant component of German armoured formations to the end of the war. The Panzer IV was the most widely exported tank in German service, with around 300 sold to Finland, Romania, Spain and Bulgaria. After the war, Syria procured Panzer IVs from France and Czechoslovakia, which saw combat in the 1967 Six-Day War. 8,553 Panzer IVs of all versions were built during World War II, with only the StuG III assault-gun/tank destroyer's 10,086 vehicle production run exceeding the Panzer IV's total among Axis armored forces.

MAK Art Print Hall
Already for the tenth time, the MAK in the exhibition 100 Best Posters 14. Germany Austria Switzerland shows the hundred most compelling design concepts in the probably hottest medium of visual everyday culture: the poster. The current winning projects of the popular graphic design competition are characterized by an enigmatic pictural humor, explosive colors as well as precise designs and demonstrate impressively that a poster can be more than just an banal advertising space. Many of the award-winning works furthermore also rely on a subtle play with typography. Innovative ideas can also be found in the manufacturing process: This year's competition shows that you can readily knit posters in high-tech process or use a thermo-insulating space blanket as carrier material for screen printing.
Hardly any medium is such clocked on the consumption and nevertheless sets trends at the cutting edge. "[...] The poster designer challenges himself repeatedly and enjoys himself at gained symbols." Says Götz Gramlich, President of the association 100 Best Posters eV, and he postulats. "A good poster unfolds in the mind of the beholder."
From over 1 800 submitted individual posters, composed of contract work, self-initiated posters/self-promotion as well as student project orders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, awarded the international jury, consisting of Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Chairman), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) and Ariane Spanier (Berlin), the 100 winning posters of the year 2014.
In the competition participated 575 submitters (men and women), of which 48 are from Austria, 128 from Switzerland and 399 from Germany. The leader among the winning 100 best is Switzerland with 51 winning projects, followed by 44 German and 5 Austrian contributions.
The by sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig and Florian Koch, Vienna) designed catalog offers in addition to the illustrations of all the winning posters and the contacts with the designers also this year a captivating essay by Thomas Friedrich: On the dialectics of image and text in the poster today. In a concise way, he looks at the contextuality of posters and explains the theme facetiously and pictorially based on a poster for a bullfight. Read more in the catalog!
