For today's owner of an antique house, the discovery of an early stenciled wall—even a fragment of one—is a revelation that offers a shard of a tangible past. In post-revolutionary America, the decoration of choice for a surprisingly large number of home owners from all social and economic groups was walls painted with intricate stenciled designs. Stenciled walls were cheaper and more sanitary than those covered with paper, but the most compelling reason for the widespread use of stenciling was that it was considered far more stylish than impersonal, mass-produced paper. Stencil artists freely borrowed wallpaper motifs and crossbred them. Successive generations of wallpaper, which became increasingly more affordable after the Industrial Revolution, covered stenciled walls, hiding them, obliterating some and preserving others.
Ann Eckert Brown's extensive research has unearthed stencils not just in New England's more characteristic homes, taverns, and inns, but also in the south and midwest. She divides stenciling into rural-based folk art, which uses naturalistic, and sometimes primitive motifs, and classically inspired, urban-based stencils, which feature patterns more refined in scale and earlier in execution, echoing Federal style images.
ANN ECKERT BROWN has been researching, executing, and teaching 18th and 19th century decorative painting techniques since the 1960s. Included in her restoration commissions is the painted interior of a Gothic Revival chapel in Newport, Rhode Island. Her ornamented furnishings have been widely exhibited, including two solo exhibitions in the 1990s. Her work has appeared in Yankee and Early American Life, which named her a craftsman of the year in 1993. She has presented numerous programs on American wall stenciling, including those at Old Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts and the The Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, New York.

Cubs OF Heyward replaces Fowler after ejection
CHICAGO (AP) Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward returned from a wrist injury after center fielder Dexter Fowler was ejected for arguing balls and strikes.
Heyward was held out of the starting lineup against Washington on Thursday night for the fourth straight game, but he tested his ailing wrist during batting practice. He had planned to return on Friday, but trotted out to center after Fowler was tossed for arguing with home plate umpire Vic Carpazza after he struck out looking to end the third.
Heyward got hurt while working on his swing in the batting cage during Chicago's series at Arizona about a month ago. He is batting .211 with no homers and 13 RBIs in his first season with the Cubs after agreeing to a $184 million, eight-year contract during free agency.

Teleglobe Monetizes Intelsat Shares
On August 21, 2002, an affiliate of Intelsat, Ltd. and Teleglobe Inc. entered into an agreement under which the Intelsat affiliate purchased shares held by Teleglobe in Intelsat for US$65 million and certain commercial arrangements between the companies were revised. The shares will be held by an escrow agent until they are subsequently resold or otherwise distributed. The Intelsat affiliate will receive all proceeds from the sale of the Intelsat shares up to a specified amount, after which Teleglobe would be entitled to receive the remaining proceeds. The transaction has been approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and closed on September 18, 2002.
Teleglobe filed for creditor protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in May 2002. The arrangements between Teleglobe and Intelsat were entered into as part of Teleglobe's plan to preserve and unlock the value of its core telecom business and to dispose of non-core assets.
Intelsat was represented by Barry Tarshis, Aubrey Kauffman, Samuel Schwartz, Jonathan Fleisher and Jonathan Behar of Goodman and Carr LLP. Teleglobe was represented by Ogilvy Renault, with a team including Derrick Tay, Mario Forte, Ian Ness, Terence Dobbin, Peter Newell, Mark Convery, Adrienne Oliver, Victor Peter and Catherine Vena in Toronto and Christine Dubé in Montreal. Ernst & Young Inc., monitor and escrow agent, was represented by Peter Griffin and Peter Osborne of Lenczner Slaght Royce Smith Griffin.

Nissan Ireland & Retro Drive-In Movies bring the Big Picture
Published on 28th June 2019 at 14:57
Nissan has announced a new partnership with Retro Drive-In Movies which will bring its range of vehicles to the attention of thousands of drivers enjoying the popular big-screen events at a host of locations nationwide.
Jeanne McGann, Head of Marketing and Communications at Nissan commented, "We are delighted to partner with Retro Drive-In Movies having identified the unique opportunity that they present to engage with thousands of drivers as they enjoy the big screen experience from the comfort of their car. This partnership is a great fit for Nissan, allowing us to continue engaging with families seeking value, reliability, comfort and innovation in the cars they drive."
Retro Drive-In Movies hosts more than 25 days of events each year which are attended by some 85,000 people in over 20,000 vehicles. Their 70 movie screenings allow families to rock up, roll in and to watch their favourite movies from the comfort of their car and to listen to the movies on their car stereo.
As part of the partnership Nissan will supply Retro Drive-in Movies with the all-new Nissan X-Trail 7-seater crossover, which is packed with technology and is ideal for families. Nissan will showcase its range of Nissan vehicles at movie events and families can also win tickets to enjoy drive-in movie screenings from the Nissan VIP Parking Zone. The partnership also provides Nissan with big-screen advertising and audio branding on the Retro Drive-In radio station.
Retro Drive-In Movies will also make its new 21 square metre large LED Screen Trailer available to Nissan dealers. It can be used for movie events for audiences of up to 1,000 people and for bespoke forecourt advertising campaigns.
Barry Clarke, Operations Manager at Retro Drive-In Movies said, "We are delighted to partner with Nissan which is a familiar brand to the many families who attend our drive-in movie screenings. The agreement to supply a Nissan X-Trail and Nissan Navara will help us to bring our events to many more locations nationwide and to enhance the unique experience that we offer movie-goers."
"We are increasing the number of venues at which we host drive-in movies to include Leopardstown, Mallow and Galway Racecourses as well as the new Movies on the Lawn concept which will take place at Malahide Castle and Newbridge House. We look forward to working with Nissan to reach new audiences," he added.


oh, boy i really don't want to get caught up in this.
Okay, so the beatles were denied rights to make movies based upon what book series by what book author?
Homer: "Then came the greatest moment of my life"
George: "Hello Homer, I'm George Harrison"
Bart: "What did you do, screw up like the Beatles and say you were bigger than Jesus?"
Deprogrammer: "My greatest achievement was getting Paul McCartney out of Wings."
In England, Homer says "our Beatles are better than your Rolling Stones".
And who was supposed to direct the movie?
Nop. Someone who's considered one of the best directors ever.
I Really don't know any Directors, so I guessed.
What day and time (maybe times) did The Beatles play at Carnegie Hall in 1964?
Feb. 13, 1964. One afternoon and one evening gig.
Nope and nope. Close though!
BONUS: How much was the most expensive ticket?


The Outpresso is a unique recycling device for the Nespresso capsules that are made from aluminum but can also be used for the newer Bialetti capsules.
Nespresso has been a big hit with espresso drinkers and the system has a big following in the United States but in Europe it is a huge single serve espresso solution. Currently Europe has recycling centers for Nespresso capsules where you simply drop off your used capsules and they do all the dirty work of cutting them open and washing out the grounds.
Some stores like Sur La Table also offer recycling which is handy and they will even give you a free coffee for your trouble but what about those that don't live near these types of stores. Whether you are trying to get a little cash back from your investment in fine espresso and coffee or just want to do the ecofriendly thing recycling your Nespresso capsules using the Outpresso can help.
The Outpresso works simply by placing a capsule in the groove of the bottom piece with the foil top of the capsule toward the opening in the bottom. Using your hand you push down hard onto the capsule with the dimpled top piece to push the grounds out of the capsule into the reservoir bottom.
Once the grounds are pushed out and the capsule has been flattened down some you remove the capsule and dump the grounds out into a container or garbage receptacle. The Nespresso capsules are pretty flat at this point but you can also flatten them down some more once they have been rinsed out.
You can also open up the Bialetti capsules that do not fit as neatly on the Outpresso but it does work well to remove the grounds and break open the capsule. The Bialetti capsules have a plastic or aluminum filter and a paper filter inside so you need to dig them out.
Rinsing out the grounds is pretty easy and once you have most of the grounds out you can take the capsules in for recycling at your nearest recycling or scrap metal center. Currently aluminum goes for about 60 cents per pound depending on where you are at so you can get a few dollars if you're an avid coffee and or espresso drinker.
I have been using both the Nespresso and the Bialetti single serve espresso machines and while I like the Nespresso a bit better both are excellent machines. The capsules however can be a pain as they are almost pure aluminum once you get the coffee grounds out and recycling them may be a bit of a problem.
Finding a place that would take them is the biggest choir as many aluminum recyclers only take cans because that is what most people recycle and they are easier to deal with. I recently made a quick trip to a local recycling center and the attendant told me he would not mind if a few got in with bags of aluminum cans but if someone came in with bags of the empty capsules he would turn them away.
Recycling centers that deal with aluminum cans, plastic bottles and other household materials may not be set up to recycle capsules form Nespresso machines but scrap metal centers may be. Scrap metal centers may be more open to recycling your empty capsules so finding one of them may be a better option but you should collect a few months' worth so you have something worth taking in.
I had about 40 Bialetti and 70 Nespresso capsules and after punching out the grounds and pulling the small plastic and paper filters out of them I only had 6 ounces of aluminum. This is not really enough to take in and even with another months' worth it would be pretty meager pickings for the money so recycling Nespresso capsules and Bialetti for that matter is not going to earn you a lot of money.
You can however do it for the environment and help keep wasteful garbage out of the landfill if that is more of a concern. Personally I will probably just collect them until I have enough to warrant a trip to the scrap metal center and turn them in all at once.
Recycling is a controversial topic and even if we take out any of the small cost we can get back it does make sense to recycle aluminum as it does take much less energy to process recycled aluminum. Aluminum is simply melted down to recycle it and the benefits of reusing aluminum is one of the materials for recycling that is not in doubt.
It does pay to recycle aluminum even if it does not pay the consumer who brings the aluminum in so recycling those Nespresso and even Bialetti capsules does make sense. The Outpresso makes it easy for individuals to recycle those capsules and it does not take much effort or time to recycle.
I cleaned out the hundred or so capsules in less than fifteen minutes even with rinsing them out and it only takes a side trip while you're out to take them to a recycling or scrap metal center. The Outpresso works well and hopefully the company will make a model that works for the Bialetti capsules as well as they did show interest in this new capsule espresso machine.
I highly recommend the Outpresso to easily remove grounds from your Nespresso capsules for easy recycling whether you want a few dollars back every few months or just want to do the ecofriendly thing.


Helping you live your life fully through menopause.
A healthy lifestyle that includes smoking cessation, proper nutrition, exercise, stress reduction and weight management is an excellent approach to menopause.
The transition into menopause usually begins in the mid-to-late 40s, with menopause occurring at a median age of 51. During early stages of the transition, estrogen levels are generally normal and the level of follicle-stimulation hormone begins to increase. As the transition progresses, hormone levels are variable and estrogen levels fall while follicle-stimulating hormones increase. After menopause, ovulation does not occur and the ovaries do not produce estradiol or progesterone but continue to produce testosterone and small levels of estrogen.
Symptoms during menopausal transition can include hot flashes and night sweats, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, fatigue, trouble sleeping, depression, weight gain and joint pain.
Because of the changes happening in your body during this time, it is important to establish a solid relationship with your doctor or OB/GYN.
Our Methodist Physicians Clinic Womens Center providers can help you not only through various therapies, but also by assisting you in understanding these changes. There are many approaches to managing menopause, and establishing which one is right for you and your symptoms is key to your overall health and wellness.

A Look Inside Charles Taylor's London HQ
Charles Taylor, a business management consultancy that provides insurance-related solutions, recently relocated into a new office in London, designed by workplace design firm Oktra.
"Their London headquarters were split across three different buildings, separating departments and preventing fluid work flow within the company. They wanted to blend the offices together into one, with no private offices and the opportunity for enhanced collaborative work. For a project of this size we would usually plan 20 weeks to complete; however, our team were dedicated to fulfilling Charles Taylor's request to have it finished in just 16 weeks. This meant detailed scheduling for both the design and build phases were paramount to a timely delivery. Both of these stages had to work in perfect synchronisation in order to surpass the usual speed of delivery. An initial workplace consultancy informed us that Charles Taylor should introduce agile workspaces in order to attract both younger talent and older, more experienced employees. We have successfully created a workspace that allows Charles Taylor to collaborate in an open plan environment. The space is divided into multifunctional areas behind an impressive front of house, with a meeting suite exclusive to clients. The main breakout area contains its own 'Fika' spot where employees can engage in the traditional Swedish coffee break. Not only has the new office merged the business but it has transformed the way Charles Taylor works entirely; it steps away from tradition and supports their ethos as a forward-thinking entity," says Oktra

Most students will struggle with Part A and Part B of the SHSAT because they are going to think of them as "Revising/Editing" sections, and they might not have a lot of experience with revising and editing. But, you're not going to struggle. You're going to fight Part A and Part B as logic problems—thinking problems.
Making revisions as thinking problems is better for you. Once you figure out what the problem is in the text, you'll be able to laser-strike on the right answer!
There are six different revision problems you might face on Part A and Part B. When you know what the revision problems are, you'll be able to knock them out and move on to the next level of the game!
Especially for Part B, where there will be only one or two longer texts, there should be a context for the information given or argument made in the reading. Even in Part A's smaller texts, the readings should "hold together"—the three or four sentences should relate to each other. If there isn't context, you won't know what the text is supposed to say.
A thesis is a main point, and guess what? The SHSAT writers love throwing reading passages in the exam that don't make a point! So, as the Master Reviser, you'll be able to make sure that the text you read says something worth saying.
Remember how editing relates to "structure" of the text? Small fixes can boost the meaning of the text, help it make sense, and lead to the correct answer. So, you'll look out for the problem of "no bones"—when a passage is disorganized, contains irrelevant information, or includes facts that don't support the thesis. If the passage doesn't sound right in your head, you know that it doesn't have the right bones, and you can fix that with an edit!
Transitions connect one idea to another. Good writing has strong transitions. It doesn't make you think, "Huh?". The SHSAT writers, especially for Part B, like to leave out ideas that are important to the flow of the longer passages and see if you can pick out which ideas help the text make the most sense. Good transitions will make the ideas "stick" together better, and so will make the writing clear.
If you're reading a Part A or Part B text, and it doesn't give a reason for its main idea. That's a problem! Imagine that your family is trying to figure out what movie to watch this weekend. Your folks want to go see an old '80s movie, and you want to see the new Marvel movie. If you're going to get to see your favorite superhero in action, you are going to have to be persuasive and give good reasons. The SHSAT is no different. If your reading passage doesn't have evidence or reasons to support it, you will have to look for good reasons in the answers to revise it properly.
Cohesion is when ideas hold together, and you know that when big ideas don't hold together, it's because there is No Transition. But, sometimes ideas are thrown into an SHSAT text that don't have anything to do with the main idea at all. They might be really general, or completely specific but about the wrong topic. You might even get an idea that seems outrageous. This is always *awesome* when it happens, because passages that have No Cohesion are pretty easy to revise. You'll look for answers that save the main idea, provide good evidence, and improve the language in the selection. When ideas cohere, the conclusion is persuasive.
The above problems help you figure out where texts need revision. In upcoming blogs, we're GOING PRO! There are topics that we'll cover that any SHSAT test taker should become familiar with to beat the ELA and Level Up! Some of the upcoming topics are for Pro Gamers who want to the best insider tips to beating the ELA on the SHSAT.

How Singer-Songwriters Can Maximize Their Career Potential When Using DJ's and Producers
You may have heard two opposing points of view about how fairly EDM producers and DJs treat the performers and composers who end up on their hit records.
Put on a simple level, people who create music that leads to any kind of hit deserve songwriting credit and a share of profits.
There were well-publicized cases, however, about Milli Vanilli and C+C Music Factory for fronting their acts with people lip-synching to other singers' vocals on some tracks.
Today's charts often feature names such as Aviici, David Guetta, Disclosure, Clean Bandit, Naughty Boy and others who are DJs and producers, not composers or performers. However, Sam Smith, Jess Glynne, Aloe Blakk, Pharrell Williams and others have launched their careers as a result of their vocals on songs such as Rather Be, La La La, Get Lucky and other chart toppers.
Who Gets The Credit?
How much an original singer-songwriter can expect to earn before they have a properly produced potential hit song ready for release seems to be an area that musicians, executives and producers find it hard to agree on.
Surely, it all comes down to risk. Radio One DJ John Peel was well known for playing new artists on his radio show, quite a few of whom then went on to successful careers. Not even John Peel could predict every hit or miss, but Radio One airplay made a difference. What the act did next would determine their forthcoming careers.
Back in the 1990s when record company executives controlled the budgets and the recording decisions about acts signed to their label, studio producers and certain DJs were working behind the scenes, often at their own risk, to break in new unknown performers.
Before the Internet made releasing and distributing a song open to anyone with a computer, record companies would control the output of bands, singers and songwriters. However, DJs such as Frankie Knuckles, DJ Sammy and Fatboy Slim played their own productions amongst other records when they played a set.
Therefore DJs and producers have always, in some capacity, played an important role in unleashing chart toppers and club anthems.
Composers and performers too often have unrealistic expectations about their worth, until they have made a definitive arrangement and recording of their songs by a good producer. This is akin to trying to sell a beautiful table with a leg missing.
Jess Glynne, who sung on Clean Bandit's chart topper Rather Be has got her own song out. Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams have topped the charts with their own songs and won awards in their own right. Now La La La is introduced as featuring Sam Smith.
Meanwhile, some still unknown artists who felt shafted by producers and DJs are still chasing their profit share through the courts, which must inevitably damage any musical career they might have had.
Any successful musician would probably talk, if they choose to be truthful, about what they went through before their big break. You can surely name a few One Hit Wonders, who were unable to follow up a catchy pop song with anything else that caught the public's attention. Charity shop bargain bins are often full of flop albums that were enthusiastically invested in by over-excited music executives.
If your songs or performance are used by a named DJ or producer with a string of hits behind them, it would be best to have an agreement that you can use the recording as your calling card (with the producer or DJ backing your word). After all, a true talent scout has spotted your potential. That is the "big break" that alludes many artists.
Before you sign over your work to a big name, why not ask whether you can use your input to promote your forthcoming career? Maybe ask their opinion on more of your material? The hardest part for any musician is making decisions on their own material. What to spend money on recording? What to release? What to put on the album? As a rubbish song will turn off many potential listeners.
Therefore, ensure that any work you do that contributes to someone else's success isn't a waste of your time, by first making an agreement between you and the producer/DJ you are working for that you can use their recording to promote yourself. If they are denying you were involved in the recording YOU must learn for next time. If you don't sue, there probably will be a next time.
Any artist who works for free and doesn't ensure they get any kind of recognition for their work is an idiot. We all have to be responsible for our own lives and careers and not rely on other people.

When building our dream house we knew there were certain projects that we could handle and actually made sense, financially, for us to take on. Installing our interior doors (all 34 of them) was one of those projects. I've installed a prehung exterior door before and I've replaced an interior door slab but never installed a prehung interior door. So naturally I went to YouTube. Using some processes I found on there made my first door install take way to long and I couldn't get it just right by myself. Jamie's dad ended up calling on an old friend that was a trim carpenter and he gave me some tips. We quickly put together a fool proof method that allowed me to install a prehung door perfectly in less than 15 minutes. And surprisingly the brad nailer was what made this job so much easier.
In this tutorial we go one step further and show how to "rough in" a jamb switch in the door frame. This is a great idea for closets because it acts like a refrigerator door light where the light comes on as the door opens and goes off when it is closed.
This process will allow you to install a prehung door by yourself in under 15 minutes. Mounting the jamb switch will add a little bit of time to the install but automating closet lights is well worth it. If you are not installing a jamb switch simply skip over step 2.
With a 6ft level, check to make sure the jack stud on the hinge side of the door is plumb. The jack stud is the interior stud of the door frame (one on each side) that supports the header.
If it is not plumb you will need to shim out the hinge side so that it is. This process is as simple as placing a shim(s) between the level and jack stud until the level shows plumb. Then tacking the shim in place so you can set the frame up against it.
Note: The photo below shows the frame with a shim behind it but I didn't have any pictures of this process without the frame so you can ignore that.
If it is plumb you can proceed with placing the door in the opening. To reduce the risk of damaging the door or frame, keep the plastic piece that secures the door handle hole to the frame in place until you are about to slip it into place.
Note: If you have already installed flooring you will need to trim the bottom of the door frame to match the existing door frame heights.
A jamb switch is an excellent idea for closet doors. This is a simple trigger that is installed in the jamb which interrupts the circuit when the button is depressed and turns the closet light off. When the door is open the spring-loaded button completes the circuit and turns the light on.
If you are not installing a jamb switch simply skip to the next step.
With a jamb switch comes a matching electrical box. The jack stud will need to be notched out to accept this box. When I had the rough wiring ran by my electrician he cut the notch and had the wire there for me.
I started by marking out where the box needed to go to match that notch in the jack stud and wire location.
Then I slid the frame to the side and used a large diameter bit to drill a hole through.
Then I pulled that wire through and cut out the hole for the box with a oscillating tool.
Now I just needed to chisel out the top and bottom to allow a place for the flanges to recess into.
After fishing the wire through the back of the box, I located the box and drilled pilot holes with a self-centering bit. Now the jamb switch is ready to be wired up but this will be one of the last things after trim and paint are done.
Now it's time to temporarily hold the frame in place. We will call this "parking". Start by flushing up the door jamb on the hinge side with the drywall. I like to use a speed square for this but any small straight edge will work. Do this all the way up the frame and on both sides of the door.
Then "park" the hinge side of the door frame with 2 inch 18 gauge brad nails. These will temporarily hold the frame in place but still allow for minor adjustments. Do this on each side of the door stop at the top and the bottom of the frame.
Check your reveal (gap between the door and the frame) across the top of the door. You want this reveal to be about an 1/8″ all around the door. Right now we will focus on the top.
If the reveal is tight on the striker side then place a shim under the striker side of the door frame and adjust until the reveal is consistent.
If the reveal is tight on the hinge side then wedge a shim under the door frame on that side (you may need to use a small pry bar) and adjust until the reveal is consistent.
With a consistent reveal at the top and the frame flush with the drywall, you can now "park" the striker side with brad nails. On this side you will need to shoot the jamb with 3-4 sets of brad nails, evenly spaced (similar to hinge locations). These will be used to temporarily hold the frame in place and help fine-tune the reveals.
Now it's time to adjust for a consistent reveal. Using a flat pry bar you can easily get the door frame dialed in just right.
If you end up prying it too tight to the door, simply open it up and tap it with your hand to get it right where you want it.
If the reveal is too tight to the side at the very top, this is okay. It will be adjusted after the next step.
Place a 6ft level on the hinge side of the frame and check for any gaps of high spots. Shim if necessary to get the jamb side perfectly straight. Also assure the frame is square with the wall. You can do this using a square.
The hinge side can now be secured with 2-1/2″ trim screws. I like the screws with the reverse threading at the top because you can "micro" adjust the frame location by backing out the screw slightly. Place one on each side of the stop at each hinge location; above the top hinge and below the bottom hinge (above or below middle hinges is okay).
If for some reason the top of the frame is too far to one side or the other, resulting in one of the reveals at the top of the sides being too tight, you can fix this now. To do so, shim the opposite side (side with too large of a gap) until this is corrected.
By this you should be really close. Check your reveals again and adjust the frame to get them just where you want.
Place shims between the frame and the jack stud at each location that you plan to screw (similar to hinge locations) so that they are tight but not pushing the frame out. While shimming be sure to close it and check for a consistent reveal.
Once you have a consistent reveal and the shims in place, screw through the shims and into the jack stud.
Check the reveals and adjust if needed. Then, score the shims with a utility knife and break them off. This completes the interior prehung door installation. Now all you need to do is add trim, paint and install the door hardware.

Q: Asus Keyboard not working anymore after windows 10 update After updating my windows 10 to the latest version (KB4512508), my keyboard is not working anymore. My Laptop Model is Asus Gaming ROG GL502VMK.
I do lot of things like uninstalling the driver and install it again, etc but none of them worked for me.

A: KB4512508
brings no new features and only offers a few bug fixes and performance improvements.
It is not essential, so you may uninstall it and block it as described in the
Microsoft article
How to temporarily prevent a Windows Update from reinstalling in Windows 10.
A detailed how-to article can be found in
How to prevent a specific Windows 10 Update or Driver from installing.
However, before doing that, I would suggest to let Windows install its own
driver for the keyboard:

*

*Create a backup in the form of a
System Restore point,
to be able to undo the following procedure

*Start Device Manager

*Open "Human Interface Devices" and find your problem keyboard

*Right-click the device and choose "Uninstall device"

*If given an option to delete the driver, choose it

*Reboot

If this does not help, you may also check if you need to install updates from the
ASUS website.
Only the drivers from 2019 are interesting.
There is also a
BIOS update
that should be applied with extreme caution.

I attempted a chargeback in January through my bank for 3 PC orders placed mid to late 2016, and have just been told it was unsuccessful, due to not being within their time frame.
Edit: 2 of the 3 were within the 540 days, but the last email/ETA I got from PC was just outside the 120 day window.
Is their any further action I can take?
Yes, please file with ACCC. Its easy and will only help to support that Premium Collectables is taking advantage of certain rules to enrich themselves at the expense of the consumer who have not received merchandise they paid for. Be sure to attach screenshots of your purchases and any communication from PC or promises etc.
I'm all done!!! All of my chargebacks have passed their end date. Looks like they forgot to challenge the one order I wrote about a while back. Thanks to everyone who either directly or indirectly posted ideas, advice and support over the last 6 or so months while I went through this whole ordeal. You were all very helpful and I am thankful I found this forum. I hope everyone has the same success that I have had. I look forward to now removing all traces of premium collectables from my computer after leaving a few informative reviews on certain sites. Thanks to you all.
Congrats fireball! My $2k-plus of chargebacks just passed the 45-day limit too. Been a nervous wait!
If my dispute has exceeded the 45 day period for review, can they force me to wait another 10 days? My claim is now 48 days old, and when I called them this morning, they said that there was no outcome yet but that it would be escalated which will take up to 10 business days for a final outcome. I then demanded to speak to a supervisor and the person on the phone advised that they were only a call centre operator and that they would put in a request to have someone call me by end of day. Really??
If my dispute has exceeded the 45 day period for review, can they force me to wait another 10 days?
If you havent gotten any money back from the bank then yes, you can be made to wait longer, until a dispute is settled either by you getting money in your account or them declining it the process can take anything from 1 week to as long as 6 months.
If you have been refunded by the bank though then no, unless PC disputed your refund in the 45 days since getting it there is no further review, the money is secured.
Ahh yes, the inevitable blame the customers for being unable to deliver. Totally nothing to do with his crappy business model and delusions of honesty.
That's just disgusting from PC.
The cancellations only started AFTER PC were failing to deliver their paid-for-products, months after they themselves were promising the items in the first place.
They can't then turn around and say that the effect of THEIR own actions are the cause of their actions.
I can't believe they are still in business, and people are still shopping there.
Over the last few months a number of products due for the end of 2017 were effected by a number of cancellations when Premium Collectables failed to deliver products, some 6 to 12 months after they were promised at the time customers paid for their pre-orders.
this unfortunately has a effect on our relationship with suppliers and in some cases this meant the MOQ was not possible in order to receive the items.
examples range from neca to hasbro in most cases.
We simply cannot apologise enough to the customers who did not cancel their orders and have been affected mostly by the actions of other customers Premium Collectables.
One silver lining is the ability to have made relationships and open a storage facility on the china mainland, which means customers who elected not to cancel their orders still believe that we can supply the items you paid for a year or two ago, are having might still yet get their orders still fulfilled .
This also is another reason products being offered in 2018 have had QTY heavily restricted. so customers who remain loyal to a business who offers prices 20-40 perecent below RRP will still think it is safe to trust us with your hard earned money, might continue to be serviced with affordable toys and not be as effected by other customer actions our failure to deliver what we promised years ago when you forked over thousands of dollars, and are then forced to chase up that money yourself instead of voluntarily giving a refund as required by Australian Consumer Law when a supplier or retailer is unable to provide what is paid for within a reasonable amount of time.
We also introduced a deposit option to close the fairness(?) gap of wait times and upfront commitments, we note this has had a large take up so we are glad to those who have given us a go taken the risk based on our past behaviour on the back of this large change.
Haven't they said in the past that they have a 'dedicated website and customer service department'? Geez, not getting their money's worth there eh!

It is taking longer than anyone would expect but without doubt PCs time is numbered. Whether it is a government department getting off their back side and investigating or private citizens taking them to Court, they will go down.

Vefsn (deutsch: auch Wefsen) ist eine Kommune im norwegischen Fylke Nordland. Die Kommune hat  Einwohner (Stand: ). Verwaltungssitz ist die Stadt Mosjøen.

Geografie
Die Kommune Vefsn liegt in der Landschaft Helgeland am inneren Abschnitt des Vefsnfjord. Sie grenzt im Süden an Grane, im Südosten an Hattfjelldal, im Südwesten an Brønnøy, im Westen an Vevelstad, im Nordwesten an Leirfjord sowie im Norden und Osten an Hemnes. Eine weitere Grenze verläuft im Vefnsfjord zwischen Vefsn und Alstahaug. Im Norden reicht die Kommune bis an das Elsfjord, einem Nebenarm des Ranfjords.

Im Süden der Gemeinde fließt die Eiteråga durch das Tal Eiterådalen, bevor sie an der Grenze zu Grane in die Vefsna mündet. Die Vefsna führt schließlich weiter in nördliche Richtung nach Mjosøen, wo sie in die Tortenvik, eine Bucht des Vefsnfjords, fließt. Der Fluss gilt als einer der besten Fangorte für Meerforellen in Norwegen. Parallel zur Vefsna verläuft die Europastraße 6 (E6) sowie eine Bahntrasse, die von Zügen der Nordlandsbanen genutzt wird.

Im Osten und Westen ist das Terrain bergig mit mehreren Bergen über  Die höchste Erhebung ist die Geittinden (samisch: Gaajssnjurhtjie) mit einer Höhe von  an der Grenze zu Hattfjelldal und Hemnes im Südosten. Zwischen den Erhebungen im östlichen und westlichen Bereich befindet sich ein Talzug, in deren südlichen Gebiet die Vefsna fließt. Im nördlicheren Bereich liegt unter anderem der See Fustvatnet.

Einwohner
Die Stadt Mosjøen ist der einzige sogenannte Tettsted, also die einzige Ansiedlung, die für statistische Zwecke als eine städtische Siedlung gewertet wird. Zum  lebten dort  Einwohner. Die restlichen Einwohner verteilen sich vor allem auf die Talgebiete. Nach 1945 stieg die Einwohnerzahl bis etwa 1970 an, seitdem hält sie sich fast gleich.

Die Einwohner der Gemeinde werden Vefsning oder auch Vefsnværing genannt. Vefsn hat wie viele andere Kommunen der Provinz Nordland weder Nynorsk noch Bokmål als offizielle Sprachform, sondern ist in dieser Frage neutral.

Geschichte
Die Kommune Vefsn wurde nach der Einführung der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung im Jahr 1837 gegründet, zum Zeitpunkt der Gründung umfasste sie einen weit größeren Bereich und reichte bis an die Grenze nach der damaligen Provinz Nord-Trøndelag. Im Jahr 1862 wurde Hattfjelldal abgetrennt, Mosjøen wurde im Jahr 1874 eigenständig. Die Gegenden Drevja und Grane wurden 1927 selbstständige Gemeinden. Im Jahr 1962 wurden einige dieser Kommunen wieder zurück nach Vefsn eingegliedert, so dass Vefsn von da ab aus den ehemaligen Gemeinden Drevja, Elsfjord und Mosjøen bestand. Eine weiter Änderung geschah 1995, als der Festlandanteil von Alstahaug an Vefsn übertragen wurde.

In Mosjøen befindet sich die Dolstad kirke, eine in ihrem Grundriss achteckige Holzkirche aus dem Jahr 1735. Zudem liegt dort das Vefsn Museum, ein Freilichtmuseum, dass sich aus alten Gebäuden und Gegenständen der Gegend zusammensetzt. Es stellt eine Abteilung des Helgeland-Museums dar.

Wirtschaft

Die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe sind vor allem in den Bereichen der Rinder- und Schafhaltung tätig, zudem ist auch die Forstwirtschaft für die lokale Wirtschaft relevant. Die Fischerei war traditionell von Bedeutung, sie spielt aber heute keine Rolle mehr. Ab 1945 entwickelte sich Mosjøen zu einem Industriestandort, unter anderem durch den Betrieb zweier Aluminiumwerke, die später vom US-amerikanischen Konzern Alcoa übernommen wurden. In Mosjøen wird außerdem die Zeitung Helgelendingen herausgegeben. Im Jahr 2019 arbeiteten von 6596 Menschen 5897 in Vefsn selbst, nur ein geringer Anteil war in anderen Kommunen angestellt.

Etwas südlich von Mosjøen befindet sich der Flughafen Mosjøen, Kjærstad (Mosjøen lufthavn, Kjærstad). Dieser wird für Flüge der Widerøe's Flyveselskap genutzt.

Wappen und Name
Das seit 1974 offizielle Wappen zeigt in Schwarz einen silbernen Hahn. Der Hahn war zuvor das Stadtwappen von Mosjøen und wurde nach der Zusammenlegung für das Wappen von Vefsn übernommen.

Vefsn wurde im Jahr 1954 als Veffsne erwähnt. Der Name leitet sich vom Flussnamen Vefsna ab, die Herkunft der Bezeichnung ist nicht gesichert.

This document explains to reviewers details about the automatic import of translations from Zanata.
If you are unfamiliar with translations in OpenStack, read the Project Team Guide on Internationalization and Translation first.
This document gives additional information.
Translators translate repositories using the translation server which runs the Zanata software.
Every day, new translations get imported into the repositories using a proposal job. These need to have a review on whether the bot worked properly. You can see all open reviews in Gerrit. The subject of these patches is always "Imported Translations from Zanata".
The change is done by a bot. If anything looks wrong with it, you need to actively reach out to the OpenStack I18n team and point the problem out.
The goal of the review is that the structure of the change is fine, it's not that the strings are translated properly. The review of translated strings is done by teams using the translation server.
If you notice bad translations in a language, file a bug (see Reporting translation bugs). Then the translation team will update the translation. We recommend to still import this change as is and import later the fix to not block other valid translations to merge.
Nobody should change translation files (the .po files in the locale directory) besides the bot. The next automatic import will override any change again. Therefore, leave a -1 vote on any such changes and point developer to this document.
The proposal bot also removes files, it removes files that have very few translations in them. Note that no translations will be lost, they are still in the translation server.
Also, release notes translations are only needed on master since release notes are published only from master, the translations get removed on stable branches.
Most teams have single approval for translation imports instead of two core reviewers.
The Creator's Guide of the Infrastructure Manual explains how to Enable the Translation Infrastructure.


Rocks are great canvases for crafts. They're hard to destroy, easy to find and even easier to leave behind without worrying about your impact on the environment. After painting rocks, I knew it was time to finally figure out how to carve rocks using a Dremel tool.
Several weeks ago we made Love Rocks. They were handpainted rocks that we decorated with messages that encouraged others or a simple heart design. Then we left them all around our favorite park for people to discover. The kids went nuts for this project. It was a great way to open up a conversation with them about how the little things we do for others truly does matter.
About a week later we went back to that same park and all of the Love Rocks were gone. Our mission had been accomplished.
But we can't stop there. We all loved it so much that we're going to keep going with our Love Rocks campaign.
That's why we picked up a new bag of river rocks from the craft store. A few dark rocks have been set aside to try painting with white intricate designs but the other ones I knew I wanted to try rock carving with.
Paint might eventually chip or wear off of a rock but a carving is there until the rock breaks apart. It's a lasting impression that I wanted to make.
I tried several different methods of rock carving from tutorials I found online and have used them to make my own system that worked well.
First you're going to need to gather your rocks and a Dremel with a diamond carving tip and several different sizes of a grinding tip. All of these tips were included with my Dremel so check your drill bits before you purchase any. You'll also need a cup of water and a towel.
Start with the diamond carving tip set on a slower speed. The slower speeds will give you a lot more control. Outline the shape of your design using light strokes. If you press down hard you will wear out your bit and it the carving will be more uneven.
I found that the smoothest carvings were from using the dremel tool at a 45 degree angle rather than using the tip straight up and down.
You want to make a rough outline of your shape and any shading you want done with this tip. It cuts deeper and better than just using a grinding tip.
Once you have your rough outline done, switch your drill bit to a grinding tip. You want to use the grinding tip to even out all the carvings. Simply go over the carving with the grinding tip a few times until you're happy with how it looks.
A lot of tutorials online suggest pouring water over the rock while you're using the Dremel to keep the bit cool and help it last longer.
I tried this and honestly it made the carving really hard to see. I found that taking a break every minute or so to dunk the rock in water and then dry it with a towel worked the best. It gives your eyes a break from doing small work and helped give the tip and the rock a time to briefly cool down.
How to write on the rocks – All of the lettering was done using the diamond drill bit. Honestly it's easy to make mistakes. I recommend going very slow when writing and only make one pass. If you want to go over it again you can but I found that most of the mistakes were done when I tried to go over the writing several times.
You can also use the diamond bit to drill a hole straight through any of the flat rocks. Just be warned! It's a messy job.
To drill a hole in a rock you do have to keep it very wet and use constant pressure on the Dremel. It will be messy and dust from the rock will go everywhere.
But I was able to make a cute carved pendant for my daughter's birthday gift so in the end it was worth it.
These rocks are special. Later this week they're going to join some other rocks and be scattered around our town. Hopefully the people that find them know that we spent time making them because they are worth the time we spent to make their day better.
I adore your "love rock" campaign! What a lovely thing to do and teach your kids! Part of me wishes I lived near you so I could find one of these good-day-makers but another part of me is happy that I'm so far away so that my kids and I can carry out your thoughtful campaign here for even more people to enjoy, with your blessing, of course!
Hello, I just enjoyed reading your post! I have a question about dremiling rocks I can't seem to find an answer to. No matter which grinding bits I use, my rocks end up with a powdery looking coating on them. Our it's like a slick film. I've used aluminum oxide, carbide, and diamond bits, it doesn't matter. What causes this powdery looking, dull, dry looking finish or skin looking finish and what can I do to fix this, prevent it from happening, and get that nice high glossy finish I see on everyone's rocks? Thank You for answering me asap.
Where are you getting the rocks from? I've never had that happen by the rocks I used were from a craft store. It sound silly but could you have bought them somewhere that made a faux type rock?
Buffing reglosses the area and takes away the dusty look.
Craftsmama and rockhound here to help solve your mystery. The film or powder you describe Is like sawdust is to wood. It is unavoidable if you are using stones or rocks that you find or are intended for landscaping.
Rocks purchased from a craft store (technically stones since they are smoothed) have been processed already to be smooth and most of the time some level of polishing has already been done to them even if the stones aren't high gloss shiny. These rocks have already been through weeks in rock tumblers with various grades and types of sanding/grinding mediums. EVERY time the tumblers are emptied, the rocks are coated in this fine dust you are talking about. These rocks also tend to be singular composition types of rocks quarried for industrial or hobby usage. Using a dremel to carve relatively shallow etching and designs on processed rocks, pulls the polishing compounds down into the layers you are etching away – in a sense slightly re-polishing your designs as you etch them. In addition, the polish ALREADY on craftstore stones prevents any rock dust created from sticking to the polished portions of the stone. However, the lines of the etching or carving itself will have some duller dustier appearance than the rest of the rock.
Stones or rocks you find or that are used in landscaping are generally composed of multiple rock types containing everything from iron to limestone to quartz to various types of granite or even crystals. These multi-composition rocks almost always have components that leave a rock dust dull residue when carved or etched.
Rocks we find are not generally shiney and polished unless they are beach or river stones nature polished by water and sand. When using stones that have been "tumbled but not polished" for landscaping or stones you find at a park or your yard, you WILL experience this residue from carving or etching.
If you want to use rocks you find and process them yourself, its best to process them BEFORE ETCHING OR CARVING.
For best results in getting your stones or rocks to have that shiney glossy appearance you seek, I recommend picking up a rock tumbler kit from a kids discovery type store or online. You can then tumble and polish your rocks/stones until they have the desired level of shine. You will also need to purchase a polishing compound specifically for rocks (silver polish, auto polish etc won't work on rocks) AND sanding mediums for use with tumblers.
Another option to get rid of the residue is to use your Dremel with carbide grinding bits of increasing grain size WITH WATER to grind the rocks until they are smooth and use polishing bits WITH polish to make them shiney.
If you want to polish AFTER carving or etching designs, DO NOT USE SANDING MEDIUMS AND Rock Tumblers. You will need to sand and smooth by hand (or dremel) and be careful not to grind away your carvings.
If you want a quick polish fix that doesn't take weeks of tumbling or hours of hand grinding; but, is NOT PERMANENT for outdoor placement of rocks, you can use a coating or two of High Gloss Modpodge. Make sure to do a fairly thick coat and let dry 24 hours before applying a second coating. Unfortunately, Since rocks are porous, aerosol spray mediums like clear gloss spray paint don't work effectively to shine up rocks and give them that "wet" look.
Good luck!! Hope this helps.
This was a real nice blog post and how you visual step by step showings as compared to other that would have only said with words. In my small town we, got all the schools together and created a type of campieghn against bullies, because of three trajec self inflicted deaths from being bullied in school and exspecially on Social Media.) So we had every grade from K-12 decorate and create positive messages n thier rocks, once dry, each class were escorted around each of our four tint schools, about four blocks, each direction, N E S W, to hide their rocks TOGETHER, even with those they may had not been friends with, but the mission hide and allow the community to find, but the twist…. take a selfie with, where, when you found the rock, and post on Facebook, a POSITIVE FEED, on social media, and then they, the person whom found was to rehide for someone else to find. Similar to chain letters only teplaced with inspirational and motivational notes startin Memorial Weekend, and beleive it or not…. it is still in full action and its a true and pure happiness as I see these kids find or search for the rocks and the priceless looks upon their face, no matter the age, even adults, and helping them feel better because of maybe whatever then were facing. So I know this is long winded, but who would think the smallest, almost FREE activity would have brought an entire community together as such as ours little "Cheers", " Where everyone knows your name," town of 9,000 .
It was, well still is an amazing idea and as I am out taking photographs and I am lucky enough to witness someone finding a rock, I mean even Senior citizens would laugh and gigle, and then look to start re-hiding, I guess words cannot explain the Joy of ART and a ROCK brought to so many people. Great and wonderful with Love Rocks also and I hope you get a chance to witness one being found, because all the time, mess, even money no longer matters.
If you would ever like to guest host, blog, on a Thursday, when I discuss Tweens and Teens|Behaviors and the impact of Love Rock pkease DO LET me know…..
APOLOGIES TO EVERYONE: I am sorry about the misspelling in the first post, I hit publish to quickly.
I'm making one of these for my girlfriend… male penguins search an entire beach looking for a special pebble to give to their mate… I thought I'd carve something in a pebble and give it to my girlfriend and tell her about he penguin thing… maybe it's a good idea? ?
That sounds like an amazing idea!!
I am from Honolulu, Hawaii and have become interested in carving a rock ever since I found THREE PAINTED rocks which the persons who left them behind noted to go to fb and share where the rock was found, then return it out there for someone else to find. Never heard of such a thing, had no clue people were doing this to spread a little cheer, but I myself am cheerful so I passed the rocks on. Now you may be asking what does this have to do with carving a rock? Well a simple word, "SMILE" is all it took for me to want to spread the ALOHA "love" that maybe at that moment I may have needed to brighten up my day or even week. That got me thinking about something more permanent which would mean even more to me to do. I hope my story of something so small so far away on a little island in the middle of the ocean will inspire EVEN MORE PEOPLE to get out there and spread cheer across the miles as well as their own communities as yours has mine. Mahalo for the great share and inspiration .
I love this story. Thank you so much for sharing.

Die Partido Comunista de Venezuela (Kürzel: PCV; ) ist die Partei mit der längsten linken politischen Tradition in Venezuela.

Geschichte
Sie wurde am 5. März 1931 von Juan Bautista Fuenmayor, Pío Tamayo, Rodolfo Quintero und anderen Revolutionären als Untergrundbewegung gegründet.

Die Partei wahrte eine marxistisch-leninistische Linie und folgte den Richtlinien der KPdSU aus Moskau bis zum Ende der Sowjetunion im Jahr 1990. 1936 vereinigte sie sich mit anderen linksgerichteten Parteien zur Partido Democrático Nacional (PDN, dt. Demokratisch-Nationale Partei), um ein Jahr darauf daraus wieder auszutreten.

Die PCV konnte sich erst 1945 als offizielle Partei etablieren (noch immer unter dem Vorsitz von Juan Bautista Fuenmayor), wurde allerdings 1950 während der Diktatur von Marcos Pérez Jiménez wieder verboten. Am Sturz von Marcos Pérez Jiménez 1958 war die PCV gemeinsam mit der AD zu einem hohen Ausmaß beteiligt. Auch nach dem Sturz blieb die PCV im Untergrund, da sich die AD gemeinsam mit der COPEI im Punto-Fijo-Abkommen die Herrschaft aufteilten (und die PCV und andere Parteien davon ausschlossen).

Sie startete darauf einen Guerillakrieg, in dem jedoch viele ihrer Mitglieder entweder getötet oder desillusioniert vom Guerillakrieg anderen Parteien beitraten.

Während der ersten Regierung von Rafael Caldera konnte sich die PCV 1970 durch eine Generalamnestie wieder legalisieren, erhielt aber bei folgenden Präsidentschaftswahlen mit unter einem Prozent nur eine niedrige Anzahl von Stimmen (die Wahlen wurden immer von der AD oder der COPEI gewonnen). Aus dieser Zeit kommt auch die Verwendung eines roten Hahns als Maskottchen. Dieser repräsentiert ihren Präsidentschaftskandidaten Gustavo Machado. Die PCV gilt als "Pate" anderer linken Gruppierungen des 20. Jahrhunderts Venezuelas. So spalteten sich beispielsweise das Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) und die La Causa Radical (LCR) ab (beide 1971).

Vor den Wahlen 1993 änderte sich die politische Situation Venezuelas radikal, die herkömmlichen Parteien verloren in Meinungsumfragen deutlich an Stimmen. Die vormals der Sowjetunion nahestehende PCV entschied sich, den Christdemokraten – und somit eigentlich traditionell eher rechts stehenden – Rafael Caldera (der aber für diese Wahlen das Mitte-links-Bündnis Convergencia Democrática (CD, dt. Demokratische Konvergenz) gegründet hatte) zu unterstützen; Caldera gewann diese Wahlen und wurde zum zweiten Mal Präsident von Venezuela.

1998 unterstützte sie den Präsidentschaftskandidaten Hugo Chávez in der Wahlplattform Polo Patriótico (dt. Patriotischer Pol), der auch die Wahlen klar gewann. Diese Unterstützung dauert bis zum heutigen Tag und gilt auch für sein Reformprogramm zum "Aufbau eines Sozialismus des 21. Jahrhunderts". Bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen 2006 erhielt die PCV 2,9 Prozent der Stimmen. Bei den Parlamentswahlen 2005 errang die PCV 8 der 167 Sitze im Parlament. Am 10. März 2013 unterstützte die PCV auf ihrer XII. Nationalkonferenz die Nominierung von Nicolás Maduro als Präsidentschaftskandidat.

Graphic designers express their message of a design through colors. But only a strategically used color will evoke an intended emotion from the viewers. The decision to incorporate specific colors is usually taken first by considering the brand personality of a company. So, a designer may pick up warm or cool colors or may combine them to create a unique logo design.
Graphic designers lay so much emphasis on the right selection of colors when designing a logo. This is because the human mind is sensitive to visuals and responds quickly to what it sees. Colors strike our minds either consciously or subconsciously. So, the message from the color is any way registered in our mind. Remember that the message may be positive or negative.
For example, if a logo evokes some passion, it is the message it wants to convey to the viewers. But if the designer wrongly uses a different color, that too will evoke a wrong emotion. Such a logo will not be able to target customers. But the viewers will get a message, though it will not be the one a company wanted.
Modern graphic designers know about the psychology of colors. They use the psychology to bring resonance to their logo designs or other designs. Companies make good use of the emotional impact of colors to drive customers. So, a professional designer has a good knowledge of how colors work in a design.
Colors are mainly categorized as warm and cool. But warm and cool indicate temperature. So, can colors make a surrounding feel warm and cool? Well, that is not the case. We call colors warm because they psychologically make us feel warm. For example, if you live in a hot climate and want to get some relaxing feel, use cool colors in your home interior. Likewise, to feel warmer in cold climate, use warm colors.
Colors may also have an effect on visible light too. For instance, cool colors reflect more light than dark or warm colors. This means that to lighten up a darker space that receives little sunlight, you should use light-reflecting cool colors. Similarly, if a room gets too much light, to tone down its effect, use darker colors, which may be warm or cool colors.
Colors are of crucial importance to the logo designers when they want to describe a logo that creates a message for its customers. One of the reasons for colors being so vital to designing of logos is that they are capable of evoking specific emotions. In fact, most of the arts such as paintings, drama, films and others use colors to create a right environment for human emotions.
Colors Are Basically Of Two Types – warm and cool. The logo designers make a wise choice from these categories in keeping with the nature of a client's business. But, studying the business and its customers' lifestyle is also important in order to send a correct business message by incorporating right Logo Design Colors.
On the color wheel, warm colors range from yellow to red-purple. Those colors that are reminiscent to fire or the sun are called warm colors. These colors and hues are reds, oranges, yellows and pinks.
But when we say that a color is warm or cool, we take its emotional and psychological meaning. The reflective properties and light absorption properties of colors have nothing to do with the warmth or coolness of colors. So, when we say that a color is warm or cool, it shows its place on the color wheel.
Warm colors are red and yellow. Red is the color for sizzling passion of love, energy, excitement and adventure. Therefore, red is the color to catch the consumer's' attention. Most of the fast food companies use red in their logos in order to secure attention of the customers. Businesses involved in vehicle manufacturing also use red to depict energy. CNN, Lays, Toyota, Macdonald, Coca Cola are some of the famous brands using red in their logos.
Yellow is another warm color that is used for catching the attention of viewers. This color depicts playfulness, positivity, sunshine, warmth, joy and concern. Businesses use yellow in logo design to show positive and sunny image of their products and services. Shell, National Geographic, Nikon and DHL are some of the global brands using yellow in logos.
Graphic designers take warm colors as energetic and vivid. A psychological impact on the viewers is that these colors make the surrounding seem larger, friendly, inviting and appealing. These colors express warmth of relationship.
So, the designers usually pick warm colors to convey energy, sociability, and happiness. Take for example the McDonald's logo design. It has yellow and red as two warm colors that stand for the energy of young people who are the target customers for the fast food chain.
Is Flat UI Design /Color More Professional?
Here is a quick description of warm colors. We give here the emotions associated with the colors.
02. When To Use Warm Colors?
Graphic designers generally use warm colors when emotions such as energy, enthusiasm, happiness, etc. are to be conveyed. You should think of using warm colors only when your client's brand message has some form of aggressiveness in it. This implies that a feeling of passion and love is best expressed through the use of warm colors. So, first get your brand personality and its message.
When designing a logo, you can use these colors with cool colors but make sure that you know how to use the contrasting hues together. Your message will be the basis for the selection of the colors.
However, warm colors like red are difficult to incorporate in a design. This is because red can easily overpower the other colors in a design. Similarly, pink may appear as too famine a color for your brand message. What matters is the way you mix and pair colors as per the demand of your message.
Some logo designers like to use white or simple neutrals when working with warm colors. This method helps them in making the colors feel bright, crisp and clean. If you use dark color scheme, the opposite result will be the outcome if you desire so.
If you want to create a contrasting effect, place super-bright warm colors against a static background. This technique will also help you in creating other graphic designs such as a website design with a desired impact on viewers.
A way to work with warm color is to use 80/20 rule. This rule says that 80% of your canvas will have neutral things like the background. In the remaining 20% canvas, use strong colors. Follow the same rule when using a combination of warm and cool colors.
It is also advisable to use blues, greens and violets in 20 % of the palette, and 80% should have reds, yellows, pinks, and oranges.
Cool colors are placed on the other half of the color wheel just opposite of warm colors. These colors include blue, greens and purple. Mostly, these colors stand for sky, space, water and nature.
Cool colors give us a calming, reserved and relaxing mood. The designers take these colors as trustworthy and harmonious. They use cool colors as neutrals when they do not want to incorporate sharper colors.
The only primary cool color is blue on the color wheel. This means that all the cool hues have some shade of blue in it. Therefore, the designers usually mix a warm and cool hue to make cool colors. For example, to make purple, you can mix red and blue.
Often designers use cool colors when they create marketing materials for businesses. Your logo should contain cool colors preferably when your brand massage is about coolness and growth.
For example, social media page is usually in blue, which imply dependability and trust. Financial institutions also use cool colors to convey their message to customers. You should be using green to evoke the feeling of natural harmony.
Amongst cool colors, green and blue are frequently used. Green represents freshness of nature, coolness, growth, beauty, and quantity. Green has a major impact on brands and consumers. This color is also used to depict that a business is environment-friendly.
Blue is another cool color for representing vastness, depth, calmness, heights, faithfulness, and success through a logo. Since water and sky are associated with blue, it represents consistency. Majority of governmental organizations, medical institutions, and technology-based businesses, drinking water companies use this strategy in Logo Design Colors.
Here is a breakdown of cool colors and the emotions they evoke.
Sometimes, graphic designers like to use a combination of warm and cool colors in a logo. They want to make a logo memorable in this way. It may also be that a brand personality of a product or company may require the mixed use of these colors. In that case, make sure that your logo does not let one set of color dominate the other.
You can use warm colors, for example, as your main color scheme. But incorporate some elements of cool colors [and vice versa]. So, try to strike some contrast and balance, depending on the mood you want to create for the viewers. Such a business symbol will help in building logo and brand identity.
So, these are the main points we wanted to discussion the use of warm and cool colors.
Are you also thinking of creating a logo for your company? You can depend on professional graphic designers who can do the job at an affordable price. To do so, you should crowdsource your logo work to Designhill, a leading marketplace for business owners and graphic designers. You get dozens of new logo design ideas that match with your design brief. If you do not like the logos, get your money back under the site's 100% Money Back Guarantee scheme.
Warm and cool colors are used in a logo design to evoke a specific range of emotions of warmth and coolness. A graphic designer works on these colors to convey a brand message. Warm colors are mostly darker colors and known for their emotions of passion and aggressiveness. Cool colors evoke the feelings of calmness and lightness. A clever mix of these two categories of color is desirable in graphic designs.
