Prominent environmental campaigner Tony Juniper has been appointed as the first President of the Society for the Environment, the organisation has announced.
The Society for the Environment has appointed Juniper to help the organisation in its mission to champion the role of environmental professionals and the Chartered Environmentalist qualification.
Juniper is an established face on the environmental circuit having been the director of Friends of the Earth in England, Wales and Northern Ireland between 2003 and 2008 and the vice chair of Friends of the Earth International from 2001 to 2008.
Commenting on his appointment Juniper said: "As the number of people working in the environmental sector grows, it is vital that Chartered Environmentalists are recognised as professionals in their own right, whatever their role. It is very pleasing to be working with the Society for the Environment to champion professionalism in the environmental sector.
"The Society fulfils a vitally important role by setting the standards for professionals working across a range of sectors. It has shown how professional bodies from widely different specialisms can work together on a common agenda," he added.
Society for the Environment chief executive Alex Galloway said: "To have somebody of Tony's calibre as our President will help us take the status of Chartered Environmentalists to a new level of recognition and reach into new areas."
The Society for the Environment, which received a Royal Charter in 2004, is the body which awards and sets the standards for the Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) qualification in the UK.

News Center 2012 July A Local Family Pays Tribute Community Healthcare
For the Ngan family of Palos Verdes, giving and volunteering at Torrance Memorial Medical Center is not just a part of their to-do list; it's a central activity on their weekly calendar. From making lemon squares and brownies for a bake sale to sewing blankets and cough pillows for maternity patients, serving the hospital is right up there with homework, piano lessons and art class for John, Serena and their three children: Isabel, 17, Eric, 15, and Brian, 12.
"It's a priority for our kids to understand the importance of volunteering," Serena Ngan says. "It's also a lot of fun and a great opportunity for them to make new friends outside of school."
Raymond Lee, MD, the Ngans' family physician, approached Serena nearly a decade ago, suggesting she join the Health Care Foundation as a way to get more integrated into the community. "At that time, the Asian community was growing rapidly in the South Bay but was not represented on the board," Serena says. "Through my involvement, I've worked to educate our local community about the importance of having a strong, local healthcare system and getting involved."
Serena and John moved to the South Bay two decades ago when John decided to expand his family's Hong Kong-based headwear business into the United States. Operating its North American headquarters in Carson, KC Caps has grown to be an industry leader, selling to and manufacturing for major brands such as American Eagle Outfitters and Ralph Lauren, as well as equipping Major League Baseball and NASCAR athletes with its cap designs.
John, who is originally from China, and Serena, who is originally from Taiwan, met at the University of Washington while he completed his bachelor of science degree in business and she studied to receive her masters of science degree in electrical engineering. Looking for a sunnier place to live after they were married, the couple moved to Gardena to start their family and eventually settled in their current Palos Verdes home. Serena worked in information systems for the city of Beverly Hills until the birth of their second child, Eric.
While living in Gardena, John's less-than-positive experience at another Los Angeles medical facility during an emergency appendectomy highlighted the importance of quality post-operative care. So although time spent volunteering is time spent away from home, John is "101%" supportive of his family's involvement. "You don't realize the importance of good medical care until there's an emergency," John says.
For the Ngans, changing deep-rooted paradigms within the Asian community is one of their greatest challenges. "In Asian culture, education is the top priority, but we try to communicate that taking care of ourselves and our children is of equal importance," Serena says. The couple encourages their friends to take advantage of the hospital's diverse offering of health education programs.
In addition to Serena's service on the Health Care Foundation board, she is active as a Luminarie, a group of parent volunteers whose high school children also support the medical center. The Ngans continue to be inspired by the donations of others to make contributions of their own, including a gift toward the new Main Tower at last year's holiday festival.
"With so many hospitals cutting back, it's great to see that through the generosity of other donors like the Lundquists, the hospital has been able to expand in many ways," Serena says. "A hospital always needs more beds."
The Ngans have also persuaded close Peninsula friends Jackson and Julie Yang and Sam and Monica Sim to make similar contributions. "Through the births of our three children at the hospital, we've seen first-hand the steady improvements over time and exactly where our money goes," John says.
Serena continues, "We're so thankful our physician approached us and opened our eyes and our minds to do something we feel really great about. You don't have to go far to help out. It's right down the street."

Angie Hughes is a textile artist and tutor who lives and works in Ledbury, Herefordshire. Her artwork is inspired by many themes, particularly poetry or text, the natural world and especially plant forms. Since September 2006, she has solely run Ledbury Artplace - a recently renovated 18th century building comprised of purpose built art studios and workshop facilities used for teaching a variety of drawing, painting, textile and craft subjects. Stitch, Cloth, Paper & Paint is her first book and is full of wonderful mixed media ideas and inspiration.
ANGIE HUGHES: The Knapp and Papermill nature reserve near Alfrick, Worcestershire any time of the year, though in the spring it's the most beautiful place in the world to me.
RWSS: Morning person or night owl?
ANGIE: Morning - I usually go swimming if I'm at home.
ANGIE: Tadpoles.....very low maintenance, cost nothing in vets bills and leave home on their own!
ANGIE: Not particularly, though a friend of mine always carries a marrow with him on his special day.
ANGIE: PC - I spend far too much of my time in front of it though.
ANGIE: PJ Harvey, T-Bone Burnett, Dan Auerbach, The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, The Be Good Tanyas.
ANGIE: If you can't stick it, stitch it!
ANGIE: A piece I made last year called What Lies Beneath - it's too personal to let go.
RWSS: What is the most rewarding part of being involved with Ledbury Artplace?
ANGIE: The exchange of ideas with the students, I learn as much from them as they do from me.
ANGIE: 4 o'clock at the end of a workshop, the humdrum of noise dies down and reflection sets in. I love teaching but enjoy the silence afterward.
ANGIE: Velvet. It's a lovely surface to paint and stitch and it has super quiltyness about it.
ANGIE: Myself at the moment!
ANGIE: Sleep. I think it's me age.
ANGIE: "Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like a banana". Groucho Marx.
ANGIE: I sing and play guitar and perform quite regularly.
ANGIE: I'm trying to write another book, but I find this process hard to start.
ANGIE: My sewing machine a Bernina and my guitar.
ANGIE: Don't think too hard - it doesn't change anything. Always carry a camera and sketchbook, eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired.
Beautifully illustrated, Angie's new book Stitch, Cloth, Paper & Paint explores an exciting range of mixed media techniques and their effects on fabric and paper. Filled with inspiration and know-how, this book is sure to become a favorite with textile artists, embroiderers, quilters and papercrafters.

Exam 1 Study Guide (Political Science)
Killian Parsons
divided government
pits a president against an opposition party that controls one or both chambers of congress. A kind of 0-sum game often follows, as each side profits from the other sides failure.
Results of the 2010 Midterm election
House of representatives became Republican while the senate remained democrat.
an office holder's actual influence with the other office holders and as a consequence over the government's actions.
the acknowledged right to make a particular decision. Right to exercise power.
consists of these institutions and the legally prescribed process for making and enforcing collective agreements.
Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan
treatise on the origin and purposes of government, this examined the straights to which society is reduced when its government is unable to enforce collective obligations and agreements. Concerns with the structure of society and legitimate government and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory.(People questioned the origin of society and legitimacy of authority of the state over the individual).
requires that both chambers must agree to same legislation before it can be sent to the president
2/3 vote in each chamber of congress.
the house of rep. and senate can enact a vetoed bill without the presidents endorsement.
in which citizens participate directly in collective decision making is reserved primarily for small communities and organizations. For example, governors and mayors.
Another approach to direct democracy that is adapted to a large electorate; nearly half the state allow the legislature to propose a change to the state's laws or constitution, which all the voters subsequently vote on. Almost half the states in the US have these – there is no provision for this at the national government level.
Republic (representative democracy)
form of government designed to allow some degree of popular control and also avoid tyranny.
Comparison of US and British Systems
Refer to p. 35 British parliamentary system is much more complicated; the voters do not directly vote for their prime minister.
Items or services that benefit all, but can't be provided by private actors. (For example, light houses, courts, and police forces).
Battle of Camden
The Battle of Camden was fought on August 16, 1780, in South Carolina. It was one of the major American defeats of the Revolutionary War. Brigadier General Horatio Gates, the hero of Saratoga, was mauled by British forces under General Cornwallis. Many military historians fault the conduct of the untrained American militiamen in the face of professional British forces.
Philadelphia Convention 1781
A delegate from each state was to meet in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. All 12 were to show up in order for the changes to go into effect, but Rhode island never came (they feared their small would lose influence). Resulted in a brand new writing of the constitution that we know of today.
they drafted and sent to the new state's ratification the nation's first constitution, although not ratified until 1781 they served as the nation's de facto constitution during the intervening war years.
Shay's Rebellion 1786
Is the name given to a series of protests in 1786 and 1787 by american farmers against state and local enforcement of tax collections and judgements for debt. Farmers could not pay back their debt and did not own their own property, therefore enough was enough and they took matters into their own hands.
Popular sovereignty
A belief that ultimate power resides in the people.
John Locke's influence on the Declaration of Independence
Popular Sovereignty influenced individual rights in the constitution with limited scope of government authority and limited government.
Came up with limited government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Separation of Powers.
The Great compromise
Not everyone could agree on the Virginia plan and the new jersey plan; thus the great compromise was formed. This was a two chamber legislature with the lower chamber (house of representatives) representation based on population, and the upper chamber (senate) representation equal for every state Authority to levy taxed reserved to the lower chamber. Here, the delegates found that the only workable formula for agreement between the nationalists and the state's rights advocates was to give both sides what they wanted.
Father of the Constitution
The commerce clause
greatly expanded the new congress and in turn the national government's – sphere of action.
Necessary and Proper Clause
The last clause of Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. This clause grants Congress the authority to make all laws that are "necessary and proper" and to execute those laws.
Checks and Balances chart
See page 62 in the text book. Executive branch: Checks Judicial branch by nominating Supreme Court and other federal judges. Checks the Legislative branch by vetoing legislation. Judicial Branch (Supreme court): Checks the Executive branch because they can declare laws unconstitutional. Checks Legislative branch by declaring laws unconstitutional. Legislative Branch: checks Executive because Congress passes legislation, controls the federal budget, can override a presidential veto, and can impeach and remove the president. The Senate confirms top executive branch appointments and ratifies treaties. Checks the judicial branch by impeaching federal judges, set the size of the supreme court and the jurisdiction of lower courts, and determine judicial salaries and budgets. The senate confirms all federal judges.
the body of electors in each state chosen by voters who formally elect the president and vice president of the united states. Each states number of electoral votes equals its representation in congress. The district of Columbia has three votes. The absolute majority of the electoral vote is required to elect the president and the vice president. Number of senators plus number of representatives equals number of votes in electoral college. 538 total electoral vote GA has 16 CA has 53 Each state has same number of electoral votes as seats in congress.
Judiciary Act 1789
The convention split the difference over appointments by giving the president appointment powers and the senate confirmation powers. They left it to some future congress to decide whether the national needed its own lower level judiciary. The first congress exercised this option almost immediately creating a lower federal court system.
Amending the Constitution
Antifederalists
Wanted state's rights. Argued only local democracy could approach true democracy. The kind found in small homogenous communities. Wanted local government. Had political dissent against the constitution. Wanted Bill of Rights.

In McDonald, the Court held (through the doctrine of incorporation) that state and local governments were bound by the Second Amendment's restrictions, and therefore struck down a law in Chicago banning handguns. Both decisions were seen as major defeat for gun control advocates.

A couple of years ago, I talked about Supertoy, which claimed to be an interactive talking kid's toy. Sadly, it seems that the development of the toy has stalled, leaving many of its backers frustrated. This week a similar product called CogniToys popped up on Kickstarter, boasting the technology of no less than IBM's Watson supercomputer.
CogniToys work just like today's virtual personal assistants such as Siri or Google Now. You press a button, ask something and it talks back. The difference here is that Elemental Path, the makers of CogniToys, are using IBM's proven supercomputer to analyze kid's queries and come up with relevant answers. Another difference is that the toy sounds like Yoda.
A pledge of at least $99 (USD) on Kickstarter gets you a CogniToy as a reward, but the toy has already been fully funded so there's no harm in waiting to see what happens. You never know, it might go the way of the Supertoy and become extinct.


We invented a teeth whitening treatment which is without hydrogen peroxide but even more efficient, based on a unique FCC (Filmocrystallized Calcium)-technology.
Small white bio-active crystals are used in combination with a strong film forming polymeric agent. Thanks to this innovative technology, the white bio-active crystals will be physically fixed on the tooth surface. The physical fixation of the white crystals leads to an optical whitening effect. This FCC-technology is reinforced by an innovative teeth whitening novelty: P.A.P. which is a strong stain-removing molecule that breaks down discolorations on the teeth in little pieces without affecting the teeth structure.
Clinical studies proved that iWhite Instant is 100% dental safe and gives you an immediate whitening effect after the first application. Some patients had up to 8 shades improvement after one treatment. However, every person is different and results can vary per person.

Relationships supporting school retention
A diverse and engaging program for students has resulted in an increase in Year 12 completion rates, consistently higher school attendance, and a clear preference for teenage Indigenous boys voluntarily joining the Clontarf Academy program at Robinvale ahead of other school options.
It is the relationships with strong male mentors, which is the key to the success of the Clontarf Academy program across Australia, according to Victorian Regional Manager, Charlie Shannon.
The program targets at-risk teenage Aboriginal male students who may otherwise have very low school attendance and provides them with an education and life skills program designed to ensure they complete Year 12 and obtain meaningful employment.
Having spent over 13 years with Clontarf in WA, the Northern Territory and now Victoria, Charlie says "we work hard to identify strong male mentors. These people are involved in the boys' lives for long periods – we do everything to keep the boys on track from school pick-ups, breakfast, sports training, after school programs, camps… so it's important that we get the right people."
In Robinvale, the program involves two full-time, locally-based Clontarf staff mentors – Leon Johnson and Travis Bussell – who counsel the school's 29 Aboriginal students on a range of behavioural, lifestyle and academic issues through a relationship-based program designed to engage and retain them in the education system.
When you read about the program, it's enough to make you want to go back to school. Community participation is a strong component with Meals on Wheels, Clean Up Australia Day, the schools gardening program and the highly anticipated parents and community football game. High on the list of priorities are the health activities, which include cooking classes, mental health checks and Indigenous conflict resolution training, as well as camps, sport, employment – site visits to local employers – and work experience in the local community and further afield.
The family-like support both during and after school is crucial to the Academy's success and one man knows this better than most from both sides of the fence. Using his own experience as the only Indigenous male to complete Year 12 at Robinvale College in a decade, Clontarf Academy Director, Leon Johnson, has a unique perspective with which to guide his young charges.
Leon was the first in his family to finish Year 12. He set a trend with his sisters and brothers and now he is passing it on to his students.
"It is so positive to see the boys doing the same thing and making that (finishing Year 12) their goal too.
"I can relate to them; we're living in the same town, dealing with the same issues whether that's to do with family or school.
"Year 9 and 10 are the high-risk ages. My friends left at Year 10 – there were a range of reasons from family, dropping out or wanting to get a job early – but I made it a goal to finish Year 12.
"These days there is a lot more support. There are more extracurricular activities, more help with health and employment.
"When I was at school there were Koori Education Support officers. They definitely helped me but I had to depend on building my own teacher and pupil relationships."
Ross Trust funding over three years to the Clontarf program at Robinvale P-12 College is generating results that speak for themselves.
Since the Robinvale Clontarf Academy commenced in February 2010:
student enrolments have grown from 17 students to 28 students
average school attendance has been 79 per cent (and likely to rise with the help of a new targeted program)
14 Clontarf students have completed their Year 12 schooling (inclusive of 2017).
The welcoming and supportive program is also about creating confident young men who can look you in the eye and shake your hand, ready to take on the world.
Behind Clontarf's mission sits the compelling story for Indigenous students in terms of the lifetime impact of successful school completion. The benefits to individuals, families and the broader Australian community of young Indigenous males completing school cannot be overstated.
An independent study has demonstrated that the work of the Clontarf Foundation does reduce the impacts on Australian society in terms of the health and justice systems, where unfortunately Indigenous men are over represented.
The report, from ACIL Allen Consulting shows on average, between the ages of 18 and 64, Clontarf males are 13 per cent more likely to be employed than non-Clontarf males.
Over his working lifetime, a male who has been to a school with a Clontarf Academy, will receive less in welfare payments, have less impact on the health and justice systems and pay more in income tax.
Charlie says "It is quite remarkable how school completion changes the outcomes on almost every measure… if an Indigenous young man completes year 12 and gets a job. If we can do something to help with that journey, it will be incredibly worthwhile."
Another hallmark of the program seems to be the long-term relationships. "We have a strong alumnus, we work hard to stay in touch and we always encourage the boys to come back. Our employment team seeks to support the boys wherever they need it. If you're a Clontarf alumnus, you can come back at any time and ask for help.
"You learn to be patient and compassionate (in this role) because change doesn't happen overnight. You need to be pretty resilient; difficult, awful things can happen, and you know these boys pretty well, but that also means when things go well you get to celebrate the successes," Charlie said.


Houston, TX, (March 14, 2013)-Worldwide Power Products (WPP), a power-generation equipment provider to industrial clients worldwide, today announced that through May 31, 2013, it will offer customers one free month in its Standby Generator Rental Program when five months are purchased. The program, which includes unlimited hours of emergency use for a competitive monthly fee, is designed to help companies plan and budget for the cost of disruptive weather events.
With the program, WPP helps customers identify the appropriate size emergency portable generator and then either delivers and sets it up on site or stores it at WPP's local facility until needed. In the event a company chooses the off-site storage option, WPP guarantees a generator will be available and can be delivered with proper notice – should a hurricane or other disaster threaten the area. WPP's low Standby rates remain consistent whether or not the generator is called into service. Should it be required for an emergency, the customer enjoys the benefit of unlimited usage with no additional fees.
To assist customers with budgeting decisions, WPP offers a rental generator search tool on its site. There, customers can identify the wattage, phase, and voltage generator they seek, and immediately see a cost comparison between Standby rates and daily, weekly and monthly Prime usage rates.


I have just completed my long cherished dream of completing an 'end-to-end'. My journey began in April 2004, when my wife and I were trying to deal with a son who had got into drugs and crime. We were at a loss and feeling overwhelmed, guilty and confused.
Somewhere I had read about the Bibbulmun Track and I thought if maybe I could convince our son to get away for a while it might show him something different and break the cycle. I asked him one befuddled night if he would like to 'go bush'.
He was in a highly emotional, distressed and confused state but he agreed. I grabbed the opportunity and the following morning took him to the Foundation office in Perth. The voluntary staff were very helpful and advised us to start with the section from Brookton Highway to Sullivan Rock.
I wanted to start from Kalamunda, but the experts said that as we hadn't done any previous walking we might get completely turned off if we tried that! They explained what gear we needed and we hired it from the Foundation. The following day we set off - and as they say, the rest is history. I had no experience of the bush, had never been camping before and had led a sedentary lifestyle.
My son's mental state led him to talk incessantly and not sleep at all on our getaway. He wrote rubbish in the camp diaries and I remember at the time being very embarrassed - but also feeling maybe this was doing him some good.
I am not sure whether it helped him, but it certainly opened up new experiences for me. I fell in love with the bush, the peace it offered, the beauty of the terrain, animals and plants. I couldn't wait to get out there again. Later that year in October I asked him if he would like to go back (by then he had settled down and we thought the drug usage had disappeared). He agreed to go.
This time we walked from North Bannister to Sullivan Rock. We were still very green and I didn't know at the time that it was advisable to check the Track conditions before leaving home. Imagine our dismay and horror arriving at the Nerang campsite to find the shelter and water tank had burned down. The one thing I hadn't purchased was a tent. We spent a freezing night exposed to the elements and woke to find ice on ourselves and on our camping equipment. Nevertheless we persisted and completed that section.
The following year I made plans to walk again. My son didn't want to go, but now my wife was keen to walk. In April 2005 we set out from Kalamunda to Mundaring, and on to Ball Creek. My wife was hooked and wanted to walk again. In October of 2006 we hiked from Mundaring to the Brookton Highway. By now I was super keen and just wanted to do the 'end-to-end', but I had to wait owing to work commitments, and a further relapse of our son saw more confusing and desperate years.
I continued to dream, plan and hope for an opportunity. Our son managed to get and keep another apprenticeship and to settle down. He now works in the mines on a 'fly in fly out' basis. So this year I planned for 'my time'. My birthday present to myself was to set out from North Bannister by myself (my wife was so jealous because she couldn't get time off work but planned to join me in Collie) and continue the journey to completion.
On October 8th this year we reached the Southern Terminus in Albany after 45 days of walking plus eight rest days. I have mixed emotions - exhilaration, wonder, a huge sense of completion of purpose, joy, loss - what to do next - gratefulness for all the hard work DEC workers and BTF volunteers do and memory of the pain, hurt, trauma associated with the beginning of the journey with our son.
Thank You - it truly has been a wondrous experience.

Florida A&M's 10th president returns to Bragg
September 26, 2019 2:55 pm by Ciara Mims | Editor-in-chief
Former FAMU President James Ammons. Photo courtesy flordiapolitics.com
Former Florida A&M University President James Ammons returned to his alma mater Saturday to bear witness to FAMU's long-standing rivalry against Southern University.
Ammons serves as the executive vice president/executive vice chancellor of Southern University in Baton Rouge, La., but he admits that FAMU will always be his and his wife Judy Ammons' academic home.
"We're always gonna' be Rattlers," Ammons said Saturday after watching FAMU turn back Southern, 27-21. "Our roots are here at Florida A&M."
Ammons plans to continue his career in higher education until he has nothing left to give.
"Once I decide that I can't make a difference in higher education anymore, we're returning to Florida," he said.
Ammons considers his role at Southern to be a bit broader because SU is a university system with five institutions, but he said there are some similarities between SU and FAMU.
"Both do a great job of creating pathways to a better life for African Americans," Ammons said.
He also acknowledged the impact the universities have in producing emerging leaders in a multitude of professional fields.
Saturday's game was Ammons' first return to the campus since FAMU President Larry Robinson's inauguration. He expressed how proud he is of the work Robinson has done and is doing.
"I knew when I first met Dr. Robinson that he was going far, and no one should be surprised that he's the president of the nation's top HBCU, Florida A&M," Ammons said. "He has everything that it takes to be a successful leader and he's showing it."
When Ammons served as provost at Florida A&M, he recruited Robinson to be the director of what's now the School of the Environment. Robinson described the years under Ammons' leadership to be "wonderful," and delighted in having him return to The Hill for Saturday's game.
"It was touching and at the same time, of course, you have to maintain a little bit of a competitive spirit," Robinson said jokingly.
Robinson took pride in the Rattlers' win.
"We clearly saw who won the game," Robinson said. "The Marching 100, they brought it … outstanding performance."
Robinson said he enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the game and considers Saturday's game to have been a special one. From filled stands, on both sides, to the bands, to the tailgating, Saturday's game brought an old feeling back to Bragg stadium.
"It was the revival of a rivalry that goes back before either you or I was born. It's rich. It's deep," Robinson said. "And, on top of all of that, the Rattlers came out on top."
Ammons said the game was hard-fought but SU had no answers for the Rattlers' offense.
"My hat is off to Coach Simmons, Dr. Robinson and the entire Rattler family, this was a well-deserved and hard-earned victory," Ammons said.


Will I Save Money If I Buy Remodeling Materials Myself?
Can I Save Money By Buying My Own Home Remodel Materials?
A home remodel is a big investment, and it makes sense (or cents!) that you want to look for ways to save money on your kitchen remodel or bath remodel without skimping on the quality of the outcome. We've had clients in the past wonder if they could save money by buying their own materials.
The answer is – probably not.
Additionally, the project goes much more smoothly when the contractor handles materials ordering. If you order your materials and they don't arrive, or if there's a problem with the order, it can take a lot of extra time and headaches for the contractor to figure out what went wrong.
There are plenty of ways you can save money on your remodel…buying your own materials just isn't one of them! If you want a fair price for a quality bath or kitchen remodel in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, contact us.

The construction dust is finally starting to settle.
We are super excited to be in our new shop. Our equipment is back up and running and things are getting back to normal, which is very exciting. The shop is located on the first floor of the new Lyric Building, just ten blocks from the Wisconsin State Capitol.
One of our goals for the shop was to create personal work stations for our Prototype Specialists. Now each of them has a bench with overhead bins and a cabinet with four drawers to store all of their tools.
We also wanted to do our best at containing the dust that is created from the woodworking equipment and other dusty operations. We have a dedicated room for all our woodworking equipment and a few benches so people have a place to work.
One of the challenges of the shop was the venting of the paint booth. The final solution was to run the exhaust out the top of building. Which meant running over 100 feet of ducting!
Our space will continue to evolve, just like the first prototype you build of a promising concept.
Being more organized was also high on our list of goals. Everyone in the company is welcome to use the shop, so having a home for everything is huge. We have a handful of new cabinets that will store anything from hardware to reamers, gage pins, taps, hand tools, tape, glues and more. Being organized makes everybody's life easier and more efficient.
Another cool feature is the grand staircase that goes up to the second floor with a landing half-way up that allows you to overlook the shop. This will be very helpful with the shop tours we frequently give to guests. We have also allowed space for another piece of CNC of equipment.
Our space will continue to evolve, just like the first prototype you build of a promising concept. There are always changes that could be done to make it better. That's an integral part of the process. I'm looking forward to creating some wicked models and prototypes in our new work space.
