The Nuiances of The Best Design House Stairs
Just look how much storage space it's possible to include in the plan, enough for your whole book collection and board game collection. It's important you select the suitable design to make sure that all the staircase components' are complementary to the total design. In terms of staircases, if you must have one, at least integrate it in the general design in a harmonious way. Fantastic staircase design gives an efficient and pleasant approach to move between floors of your house Just like everyone else, I really like the excellent pictures you may browse through online.
The stairs want the nail holes filled and then we are going to be painting them. Remember to consider water run-off so that they remain safe. Such stairs can be created of wood or metal in order to install the shelves and give it a look decorative at the very same moment.
The Most Popular Best Design House Stairs
In case you go for stairs, be sure to take headroom, dormers, and extra weight into consideration when you designing your home. You may think that stairs are merely a boring commodity, which you probably utilize several thousand times per year. Stairs are and will stay a huge problem, cleaning-wise. Helical or circular stairs do not own a central pole and there's a handrail on either side. Wooden stairs are ideal for country homes. Outdoor stairs made out of different materials offer you numerous opportunities to put in an exceptional element to your house.

Ocean Theatre Company presents LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS NEWS
Ocean Theatre Company will present LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, a production based on the film by Roger Corman, with screenplay written by Charles Griffith, at the BritVic Theatre, LVS Ascot.
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and ALADDIN. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS never fails to entertain.
A down-and-out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite.
As the shop thrives because of the strange looking plant in the window, so does Audrey II into a giant, deep throated, blood sucking carnivore with nefarious designs of world domination. Now enjoying everything Seymour ever desired fame, money, and the affection of his beloved Audrey he must decide if he can sacrifice it all in order to save his world.
Inspired by the much darker and far less intentionally campy 1960 Roger Corman film of the same name, this rock musical version of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman premiered Off Broadway in 1982 before enjoying a successful run on Broadway and in Londons West End, eventually inspiring a film version by veteran puppeteer Frank Oz.
Not your typical boy-meets-girl story, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a delightfully demented rock horror comedy that The New York Times described as Exuberant leaves the audience ravenous for more.
Performance Dates
Friday November 1 at 7:30pm, Saturday November 2 at 7:30pm and Sunday November 3 at 4pm.
For more information about Ocean Theatre Company, please visit www.oceantheatre.com
Tickets for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS start at 16.50 and are available online at www.oceantheatre.com

Janet lives in extra care housing and has been involved with the project from the beginning. Janet retired to Cornwall twenty years ago. Our aim is to keep Janet active, mentally and physically and to keep her engaged socially.
Janet is registered blind and was a tentative participant at first, gradually she has told me her concerns. She is worried that she is a lot of trouble for me because she feels she needs extra help. She tells me how frustrating she finds her lack of sight, as she used to love being involved with handicrafts. She is now struggling with walking and is concerned that she cant get around and may have to use a wheel chair.
Janet attends once a week and has willingly tried out many tools and materials, through trial and error together we have adapted many process, using stencils, working in pairs etc. However Janet is very capable of many activities, has great fine motor skills and motor memory. She can see large shapes and patterns and doesn't give up. Janet enjoys any activity where she feels confident. Janet often used to ask if 'she is doing it right' now Janet says she likes the sessions because I don't mind 'if she goes wrong'.
Janet likes to engage in conversation, she encourages others and will participate in any discussion. Janet likes to help put stuff away at the end of the session. Janet particularly enjoyed making the scarecrows and we will do this again next year. (a competition perhaps!)

LOS ANGELES – When watching QVC, you probably expect to see new fashion or hot products.
However, viewers got a science lesson recently when presenter Shawn Killinger and guest designer Isaac Mizrahi got into an argument of galactic proportions.
The pair disagreed on whether the moon is a star or a planet.
"The moon is a planet, darling," Mizrahi tells Killinger.
"Didn't you do that thing in grade school where you had to name the planets?" Killinger asks. "There's Uranus, there's Saturn, there's the one with the rings. The moon is never in there, dude. It's not a planet."
Mizrahi asks his producer "Chunky" to Google the answer. "Chunky" tells him the moon is a natural satellite.
"But things live on it," he says. "That means it's a planet."

I love the online lessons you have and would like to listen to them several times but I have limited bandwidth available out here in the country. As you know, video uses a lot of my bandwidth. Are these lessons included on the CD's if I buy them. Thanks in advance for your help.
I've tried to put the lessons on disc before but technical issues got in the way, and demand isn't high enough to justify the time and expense, especially for a free offering. Sorry!
I know it's not the same, but all the material in the lessons can be learned through our books, either Get Started Plus or the ToneWay Music Method. You can also get the companion CD to play along with.

Even though it is small, it is made in accordance with traditional techniques that continue from ukiyo-e, with sculptors and slasher's division of labor. The carving is carved up to an extremely delicate level equivalent to Ukiyoe.
As for the sliding, we perform multicolor rubbing similar to Ukiyo-e, we finish by 10-15 times overlapping rail.
It is a completely handcrafted traditional woodcut print that does not allow any compromise by craftsmen with advanced traditional techniques.
In addition, a special type of Washi, a handmade luxury Echizen Japanese paper was used, a "Raw Fiction Service" to maximize the beauty of woodcut prints.
The stand has been added to the exterior frame, so you can stand it as it is. It is a premium eco-frame (abbreviation: pleco frame) that is made entirely of paper, including the stand section.
The picture inside is a Ukiyo-e original original hand-made product that utilizes Ukiyo-e traditional crafts and the back uses modern craft techniques.
This is a palm-sized frame that gives you a feel for the advanced paper crafts technology in Japan.
The woodblock print inside can be easily slide out of the frame.
The back stand can be closed without protrusion.
In addition, you can open it by pulling the gold band of the arrow.
There are various ideas to keep the stand closed.
① There is a gold limiter band to prevent over-opening.
② A box is inside the stand for storing the gold band.
③ The stand has a soft bond so that it does not float when it is closed.
The exterior of the greeting card version is a handmade item of Ukiyo-wooden original.
It has a two-page spread structure, so it is possible to take out woodcut print.
2 washi message cards are included. (Plain and alphabetical message included)
Also an envelope is included, but even with all this additional options, the total weight is just 23g.
The outer dimensions of the envelope is 12 cm × 17.5 cm, and when sending it domestic, it fits the standard letter size.
The frame is a wooden square type. Mat adopts a looking color according to each work.
In addition, the mat is cut to size according to the work, and oblique cutting that makes it look nice is given.
Although an acrylic plate for full-surface protection is also included, in order to enjoy the texture of wood prints, we will ship it without placing it on the forefront at the time of shipment at the time of shipment.
1964 Tokyo Olympics movie
|This year (2020), we have created a new woodcut to commemorate the 56th Olympic Games in Tokyo. It is not a direct artistic representation of the athlete's performance or imitating the Olympic logo, but an indirect artistic work that reminds of the Olympic Games from Japanese landscape paintings. Fuji was used as a typical Japanese landscape painting.
That one scene (about 9: 33 min at the movie)
|One of the scenes from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics movie has a design that looks great. (Left figure) The torch runner running on the foot of Mt. Fuji, this scene was trimmed into an outline of the work. The details of the woodblock prints were drawn from Kawase Hasui's description of "Funatsu no Aki".
Trimming picture
Kawase Hasui "Funatsu Autumn"
(Woodcut detail)
However, there was a major problem with this basic design.
The problem was that the smoke at the foot of Fuji was not seen by the torch runner, but like a steam locomotive (SL).
So we tried to change the design to avoid the problem and improve it to the original picture.
Guardrail version
I added a guardrail to make it look like a torch runner is running.
However, this still failed to look like SL.
②:Small forest
Audience silhouette version
Instead of guardrails, we arranged some audience silhouettes.
I also added a flag waving silhouette. In addition, the small forests in the background have been removed to balance.
With this improvement, the problem that appears to be SL is almost solved.
③:Audience silhouette
④:Add national flag
⑤②:Small forest has been removed
Original picture
As a woodblock print, we clarified the design of each color plate and completed the original.
In particular on the mountain surface of Mt. Fuji, more colors than the number of boards can be expressed by the composite color of the boards.
(For details, see "How to make woodblock prints.") For titles, woodcuts are used for vertical writing, and stamps are used for horizontal writing in the small version.

We held a forum on Zoom on 24 March where you asked us the questions about COVID-19 you'd like UCA to answer. UCA's responses are below. We will update this page with answers to the questions you submit via our feedback form, so keep checking back.
1) Extensions and Mitigating Circumstances
|How are students expected to complete work without extensions or equipment they need?
|All units that were due to be delivered and assessed from the period 1 March onwards have been considered by the academic team delivering it in terms of how the learning outcomes will be covered across the year. Learning has been shifted online wherever possible and alternative assessments to cover any missing learning outcomes have been put in place so that students can successfully complete their academic year. Provision has been put in place for each and every unit affected.
Students with individual adverse circumstances have been encouraged to contact us as they can still be awarded extensions in line with normal University policy. However, we don't feel as though blanket extensions would be in our students' interest.
With the adjustments our course teams have made to the expected outcomes for each unit, there is no expectation to us specialist equipment during closure. Where it feels appropriate and where it advantages students in relation to a given unit, marking will take into account students' direction of travel and potential as demonstrated through interim assessment as well as any online assessment undertaken during this period.
|Have course leaders been advised by management to tell students to apply for mitigating circumstances?
|Students are advised to speak to Programme Directors who are allowed to be flexible in the approach to mitigation, but will require the rationale to demonstrate that the circumstances are particular to that student and not solely related to the approved changes in delivery and/or assessment.
|If students make a petition/large group complaint would UCA take action and implement a blanket extension?
|Different courses have different contingency plans that have been carefully worked through to make sure that students' progression and awards are protected. Extensions impact on a range of factors, including resits and applications for further study/employment. A blanket extension would not be in the best interests of our students. Extensions can be (and have been) implemented at cohort level for individual courses.
2) Mental Health
|What is being put in place to support student mental health in these unprecedented times?
|We are aware there is a lot of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result of the ongoing situation, we have been required to close our face-to-face services and instead move to online support. This includes our Counselling Service and we are currently considering how best to deliver this service to you. It is likely this will mean offering telephone/online/e-counselling, wherever possible to students.
If you are already engaged with counselling, our counsellors will be in touch with you shortly to rearrange any face-to-face appointments and agree on how they can work with you over the coming weeks.
If you are wishing to access the Counselling Service, please take time to read the information on the website https://www.uca.ac.uk/student-services/counselling/ and then download the Counselling Request form to request an assessment.
We do need to let you know that we are experiencing high demand so we may not be able to offer you an appointment immediately. If you need urgent mental health support, please contact your GP/doctor, or call NHS 111. In an emergency, call 999 or go to your nearest hospital's Accident & Emergency Department (A&E). You can find more information on our Medical Emergency page.
If you are seeking immediate emotional support, you may wish to consider contacting the Samaritans on 116 123 or SHOUT by texting Shout to 85258.
|What is happening with students that are not making contact online?
|Every effort is being made to communicate with and engage with our students to ensure that they can participate in online learning. Where this is proving difficult for individual students, staff are supporting these on a case-by-case basis.
3) Assessment
|Some Universities have given students a grade based on their previous work. If students feel as though they should have gained a higher grade, are they able to evidence further work so that a higher grade is achieved. Is this something UCA could implement?
|We are using previous work as part of the assessment of learning wherever appropriate (i.e. supports specific learning outcomes). This has formed part of the contingency planning each course has developed to best support its students' achievement in their current units.
|Some work simply cannot be assessed online. The work needs to be seen and assessed in person. How can you guarantee that students are being assessed fairly online when the project was not made to be for online purposes?
|We are using the learning outcomes, previous assessments and skills and creativity demonstrated in work in progress as well as online digital presentation of work to assess overall grades. Programme Directors have been advised to look for reasonable evidence of achievement, rather than penalising on basis of finish. All assessment will still be marked according to our university procedures and externally verified by external examiners on each course.
|Will there be a blanket policy from UCA on how assessment will be taking place?
What does this mean for appeals and complaints?
|The assessment strategy varies from course to course because the learning outcomes vary from course to course. However, there are blanket changes to rules that enables flexibility in each course to focus on achievement of learning outcomes through whatever evidence is available. Appeals and complaints will be accepted as normal.
4) Finances
|Students needed to use machinery/equipment on campus to complete work but are now unable too. What should they do if they cannot afford to buy what they need to complete their work?
|The University is able to offer support to students experiencing financial hardship due to the impact of the Covid-19 virus through its Financial Assistance Fund for home students studying at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and who are in receipt of government student funding, e.g. student maintenance loan or postgraduate loan. The fund does have priority groups that it seeks to support. Further information and application forms can be found here.
|What is UCA doing to support students financially that have lost their jobs during this pandemic?
|The Minister of State for Universities has confirmed that the Student Loans Company is planning to make Term 3 tuition fee payments as scheduled and that students will continue to receive maintenance payments on the scheduled dates whether or not campuses are closed, or learning has moved online.
If your paid employment has been affected by COVID19 pandemic, you may find you and your employer are covered by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
The Government has set-up the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to help pay staff wages and keep people in employment. If you and your employer both agree, your employer might be able to keep you on the payroll if they're unable to operate or have no work for you to do because of coronavirus (COVID-19). This is known as being 'on furlough'. The scheme is due to cover a period of 3 month from 1 March 2020 and it expected to be up and running by the end of April. Find out more about the scheme and if you could be covered www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-could-be-covered-by-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme
Full guidance on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is available here:
The University is able to offer support to students experiencing financial hardship due to the impact of the Covid-19 virus through it Financial Assistance Fund for home students studying at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and who are in receipt of government student funding, e.g. student maintenance loan or postgraduate loan. The fund does have priority groups that it seeks to support. Further information and application forms can be found here.
Additionally, students from overseas are also able to access some support through the International and EU Student Fund.
Both funds offer non repayable grants to help with day to day costs such as rent, food, and course costs.
They cannot assist with fees, however. Students can get in touch with their campus Specialist Adviser or download the forms from the website.
|Students feel as though they are due a refund of some sort as they are not getting the full experience which they are paying for. Could a partial refund be issued?
|The COVID-19 crisis is an unprecedented global situation. UCA, in common with organisations worldwide, is considering all aspects of the pandemic and there is a lot to think about and organise. This is one area of our work where we will be guided by government and other agencies outside the institution. The sector regulator for higher education is considering all angles of the situation from the point of view of students and they will be in contact with universities and colleges on a range of matters as soon as they are able.
We will update students with developments as things become clearer for all of us. In the meantime, please stay well and look after those who are important to you. Updates will be sent by email to your UCA email address and posted to the alerts page on our website https://www.uca.ac.uk/alerts/
|Should the price of the fees be the same amount for international students if they are not receiving full use of workshops, equipment etc?
|The differential between home and international fees reflects the fact that for many years' universities received subsidies from taxpayers residing in the UK. It wouldn't be appropriate to change the fee level at this point in time.
5) Methods of communication
|Are there other methods of communication to deliver teaching and tutorials? Some students find video calls extremely difficult or may not have the equipment needed to receive/make calls.
|Where students are having issues with the use of technology, they should speak to their Programme Director to make them aware. We have instigated various case-by-case solutions to support students in online learning where we've been able to already.
Equally, those students who are finding video calls difficult should let their tutor and/or Programme Director know, to see if there are any local workarounds that can be developed to better support individual learning. Communicating online is obviously very different to being able to talk to people in person, but solutions could for example include written correspondence (via email or chat), a phone call (or audio only conversation online), as well as managing the amount of time spent online using video. For those struggling with this format of delivery, we do encourage students to have conversations with their tutors and Programme Directors to make them aware and so they are able to better support.
|Students feel as though emails generated are for the protection/reassurance of staff and not students. What measures are UCA going to take to ensure students are protected?
|Throughout this fast-moving situation, protecting and reassuring both students and staff has been a priority. We implemented a range of measures to protect students, which included replacing face-to-face teaching with online provision, providing visa advice for oversees students, and waiving rent for students who wished to move out of University accommodation. We have also increased the money available through our student hardship fund. We will continue to respond to the changing landscape by formulating plans to protect our student's wellbeing.
6) Accommodation
|Do rent breaks (as set out by the Government) apply to students?
|Any students remaining in halls but who are experiencing financial difficulties should speak to the accommodation office. Rent will not be waived (as they are still resident) but a holiday period can be granted, and a payment plan set up once the lockdown is lifted.
|What is happening with payments for students that are living in Halls?
|Students that remain in halls are paying rent. Students who were re-called back to their country of origin by their governments are only being charged up until the day they left.For those students who have gone home but are planning to return are being given a rent 'holiday' until the point that they move back in. If students do not return, they will not be charged.
