“Function Tiles” has been created by Droog Designers Peter van der Jagt, Erik-Jan Kwakkel, and Arnout Visser, it makes the tiles work more functionally, thus the name “Function Tiles”. Based on a familiar size and common module, each of these can be used to replace an existing tile in a given bathroom – a tissue dispenser slots in place of one while vents, hangers or new drains can be swapped in for others.
These tiles let you transform a small bathroom space into an interactive, multi-functional place with secret compartments, hidden functions, magnetic surfaces, built-in gadgets and more. We love the surprise of these guys and, of course, the fact that they give you a little additional storage in what is normally unused space.
Best live show this year: Melbourne' finest garagepunkrock outfit Private Function were turning Würzburgs Immerhin Club into the Cities hottest public sauna. The high octane energy fueled show was leaving everbody gobsmacked and drenched in sweat. Slamdance party galore. a few snaps from fair dinkum aussie rules punkrock craftmanship. true Ripper. Poor bastard, you missed out on something if you haven't seen one of their shows during their recent yurup tour.
The band. I wasn't expecting much (I mean they even call themselves a function band in their name) but I was completely wrong - they were fantastic! They did brilliant versions of dozens of songs (well, maybe a dozen) - standouts included Brown Eyed Girl, One Step Beyond and 500 Miles.
They also managed to make Sex on Fire - a song I hate - sound good, mostly via sheer enthusiasm, a baseline shifted towards metal and by changing the chorus to "Ohhhh, your socks are on fire!" :)
If I lived in the UK and was holding a function, the Midnite Function Band would be on top of my list.
In order to experience the most comfort in compact living, it is important to consider the value of each amenity and the real estate it consumes. Often, with creative thinking, furniture can serve multiple necessary functions, which in effect doubles or triples its value in the to real estate-to-function formula. A foldable table can also serve as a foldable entertainment center; a foldable chair can also serve as a foldable ottoman; a bed can also serve as a couch; a bookshelf can also serve as a dresser.

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
