Today's blog article we will discuss some simple but effective decor ideas that will help you as you move into the spring season. With spring season there is always a need for something "fresh" and new to be introduced to any environment. For offices this may mean colorful flowers or a new variety of tropical plants. Offices tend to always be more drab than other public spaces so it is imperative to make sure that they get the attention they need in terms of decoration, especially during springtime. For malls there is a lot more you can do because of the simple fact that there is so much room to work with. Malls have sitting areas, food courts, and stage areas that can all be decorated and put to good use. With springtime approaching it will always be good to use more colors in the design, but we can get more into that later on. Malls tend to have the ability to showcase large artificial topiaries and trees because of the area that is provided to them. More and more malls are popping up around the country and they are also increasing in size as well. This leaves for a lot of freedom when designing the landscape for artificial plants and trees For restaurants it is almost the same as an office building, but you still have a bit more freedom to make the design what you please. Depending on the actual size of the restaurant it makes it easy to decided whether to use colorful springtime flowers, or bring in larger artificial trees for a more robust decoration. With restaurants it is also crucial to make sure to not bombard the guests with too much foliage. A simple approach similar to the office would be sufficient to making the design stick out and being recognizable for everyone who comes into the shop. It is necessary to always have some sort of decoration when you are designing for any type of store front, especially when the seasons change. With this in mind please look at your own office, mall, or restaurant. Think of the little things that can be done to make it more of a open and bright space. Artificial plants can make this whole process a lot easier.

A simple but extraordinary design tactic, vertical gardens are a great conversation starter and makes for a lovely display. You can use old wooden crates to hold the pots in place which will give off a rustic feel to the entire area. You can get a bit more creative and use shoe organizers or even old pieces of plywood with holes cut in them to make a more artsy piece. These vertical walls once assembled can be brought into the area and hung up on walls, ceiling, or wherever might be most beneficial and attractive. They can also be put on the outside of the building to present an artsy vibe before people decide to come in. Either way, with vertical gardens during springtime at the office, mall, or restaurant is sure to be a hit.
2. Bright arrangements
Like mentioned before bright colors and spring go hand in hand. With that in mind we must realize that using bright colors in a design for spring is very important. The colors will give customers or guests something to smile about and bring them joy as they walk through the doors. Roses, peonies, orchids are all great choices when looking into arrangements for all three of these establishments. Using these arrangements on tabletops, desks, or patio booths are perfect ways to signal spring in a not so subtle way. It's spring, and everyone wants to be in the thick of it… So the brighter the colors the better.

Springtime is about peace and nothing says peace and relaxation like paradise. Paradise can mean a lot of different things to a lot of people, but to most it means tropical plants found in the Caribbean.

In today's blog entry we will discuss the importance boxwood foliage has on landscaping. Boxwood has been a staple in the landscape community for centuries. Dating all the way back to the medieval days, boxwood can be seen on the lawns of many high-born palaces and castles. This has trickled down to boxwood being found in many celebrities homes on the inside and outside. It has also gone so far as to being predominantly found on the red carpet of many award shows. When watching the Grammy's or Emmy's next time make sure to keep an eye out for greenery. More likely than not it will be a boxwood foliage decorating the area and used as a backdrop for all those pictures being taken. Even at sporting events you will find boxwood being used as a decor piece. The U.S. open and European Soccer events use boxwood a lot in their pre-game and postgame warm-up areas. A lot of this is due to the calming presence boxwood is able to bring through its traditional yet modern appeal. To go along with modern appeal, many fashion designers and fashion companies use boxwood foliage for their displays and events. Fashion is always one step ahead of trends, and the fact that the use of boxwood is so rampant among those inner circles speaks volumes to the impact this foliage can have. You will see more and more boxwood foliage I'm sure just after reading this entry, and that is because it will be on your mind plus it is almost everywhere. Most of the time in the examples we just went over authentic boxwood was used. Now authentic boxwood is great because one, it's real. Secondly, it is very dense and that is hard to replicate many times especially with larger boxwood hedges and walls. Authentic boxwood can also be poisonous and dangerous for many pets including dogs, cats, and especially horses who will begin to graze on it until it is too late. Real boxwood foliage can also have a mind of its own in terms of growth which makes it extremely difficult to maintain. With all that being said you can tell how people would like an alternative to the real thing, if it can be just as real. When looking at artificial boxwood it is clear to see that it is just as real, while providing even more benefits to what is already a great product. Artificial boxwood is a long-lasting solution to authentic plants who have a very short life. Yes, you can keep plants healthy and full of growth for many years but the cost of doing that will be enormous. From the labor involved in pruning, watering, and trimming the plant you are looking at thousands of dollars spent and even more in the sweat of the individuals doing the work. With artificial boxwood hedges the only maintenance that is truly required is when you first set up your landscape. After that, there is nothing that really needs to be done. The foliage maintains itself and you may want to ruffle it out from time to time, but besides that there is quite honestly nothing more that needs to be done. As you can see that is one of the biggest benefits for having faux boxwood foliage used in commercial and residential settings. With authentic foliage the work alone would be too much to bear for a single household, especially if it is used in a large landscape design. For commercial buildings or businesses looking to use this as a decoration piece for both indoors and outdoors, the maintenance can be very costly Artificial boxwood means that you are freed from those burdens and can enjoy the presence of your products without the hassle. Artificial boxwood foliage is also extremely realistic, so for all the naysayers who think that authentic is the only option… Think again. We at Commercial Silk International have been perfecting our foliage for 30+ years and it is shown in our life-like foliage material. There are highly skilled botanists on staff who are well versed in everything related to the plants. From the petiole to the blade we have the crafted a near perfect replica of the authentic foliage especially made for you to place in your landscape. Realism is very important to many of the people who decide to buy our products, but protection is also a main concern when people look into switching to artificial plants. That is why we have come up with innovative technologies to help protect your plants for the long haul. Artificial plants already inherently come with standard protection against UV rays, but there is no guarantee and when you are placing these products in states like Texas and Florida it can fade rather quickly. That is why PermaLeaf® is used in many of the products we build for outdoor use. PermaLeaf® is our proprietary blend of chemicals that are used to protect these plants from virtually anything weather throws at it. If you live in the bitter cold you made be worried about the foliage becoming brittle in extreme temperatures. With this blend of chemicals that is no longer an issue. If you are worried about the fading of material when exposed to intense sunlight and height, then stop. PermaLeaf® is a trusted and well respected technology that has been used for products sold to big companies such as Disney, Universal Studios, and Bass Pro Shop. Another patented technology we can provide to you while you are going through the design process is ThermaLeaf®. With ThermaLeaf® the artificial foliage and plants you purchase become fire-retardant. What does that mean? Well every state has their own set of fire codes and we have come up with a technology that makes it easy for these to be passed. ThermaLeaf® can be added to any foliage to make it inherently fire-retardant, which means it will continue to be safe in the event of a fire outbreak. Artificial plants that lack this technology will burst into flames, and potentially cause more damage than was originally intended. This is why ThermaLeaf® is highly recommended for anyone who plans on using artificial plants indoors.

As we continue to look at boxwood hedges we will see more and more how they can be used to create wonderful pieces of art in lawns, entryways, and large gardens. Many famous landscape designers from throughout the world, especially Europe, have been able to craft marvelous masterpieces and made way for many of our design techniques as a company today. Throughout history authentic boxwood foliage has been shaped to create spectacles for royalty to look upon, and as time has past more and more people have been able to enjoy it. In this entry we will look at different gardens and famous attractions that use boxwood foliage, and then explain how you can create the same design with artificial boxwood hedges. This will be both a learning experiencing in terms of history, and in terms of understanding how artificial foliage can be beneficial when creating a landscape work of art.
1. Belgian Gardens
This Belgian garden was done by the hands of a famous artist, Jacques Wirtz, a well known name in European society and all landscapers alike. His design firm has been in business since 1950 and they have grown their reputation to that of none other in the Belgian area. His two sons now manage the firm but he is still a very integral part of the operation. They use extreme detail when choosing their plants for a design and the pruning/grooming process is a long drawn out ordeal to ensure absolute perfection. As you can see in the photo above, he is truly one of a kind when it comes to landscape design. This hedges are defined as "cloud forms" because of the way they billow out and are round like what you may see in the sky. Some may think it would be an easy task making spherical shapes out of boxwood, but that is far from the truth. One project done by Jacques Wirtz and his firm took almost 40 years and is his most famous one to date, the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. These authentic boxwood hedges are created into beautiful works of art but they do not have to be limited to just the real thing. As we will explain later in the blog, artificial boxwood hedges can be crafted in the exact same way with many extra benefits on top of it.
2. Beckley Park
Beckley Park is one of the more famous sites that features a wide array of different hedge sculptures since it's inception in 1540. Located in England it has been a spectacle for people to visit and admire the landscaping that has been maintained for hundreds of years. Inside the fort, you will find all assortments of different boxwood hedges formed into any shape you can imagine. Reflecting back to previous blog entries about how boxwood foliage is a great tool for photos and celebrity events, Beckley Park is known for being mainly used as a film location and for fashion photography. An interesting note, one of the Harry Potter movies used this location as an opening scene! The amount of detail and work that still goes on to maintain this landscape is astounding and can only be that much harder with real boxwood foliage. There are numerous amounts of varying shapes and animals made into boxwood hedges, and that uniqueness makes Beckley Place a huge attraction. We will see later how this can all be done a lot simpler and easier artificial boxwood foliage, but let us first take a look into one more unique garden and how they have utilized hedges.
3. Fingask Castle
This enchanted garden is located in Scotland and is one of the most interesting landscape pieces in the world. The original castle itself was built in 1952 and since then it has been added to consistently to create the masterpiece it is today. Referring only to the picture, it is clear to see why this location is a prime spot for people to get photos taken from weddings to prom. The topiaries you see in the picture are actually made of a foliage we have not discussed in the blog, yew. Yew trees hail from all different parts of the world but are more commonly found in European countries. Looking at the design of the yew topiaries themselves, you can see it is more abstract negating defined lines and that plays well with the rugged landscape that Scotland has. If you were to look at the rest of the garden you would see a variety of topiaries made from other foliages like holly and boxwood. There are rose gardens that are surrounded by these unique designs and overall it truly is an enchanting landscape design with a lot of artistic touch thrown in throughout the years.
All the above examples featured live foliage and living plants, which during those times was all that was available. With modern technology we at Commercial Silk International have developed an ever lasting product that is just as real and even better than what is considered authentic. You can shape our product to be the exact shapes as shown above, or create something new and contemporary to go along with the current aesthetic. Even though it is dated as far as the 1500s, boxwood hedges are still as classy as ever. Our artificial boxwood hedges will provide the same amount of class without requiring the regular maintenance and care that goes into live plants. We also have special formulas that we can add to the exterior leaves of your product to make it last in the weather, and make it more resistant to fires. With more and more people looking to save on costs pertaining to water and cut back on energy usage, artificial foliage is becoming more and more the trend. As we move into a world that is more conscious on sustainability it is important to note these new technologies and try to use them as much as possible. Like said before, everything seen above can be used just as effectively and even more effectively with faux boxwood foliage. Get in touch with us today to talk to one of our highly skilled project managers.

In this in blog we will look into the different types of topiaries and how Commercial Silk International makes it easy for you to choose the right fux foliage for each one. In a lot of previous blog posts we have focused solely on fake boxwood hedges, and that is because they are a very popular item among interior designers and homeowners alike. However, we don't just sell fake boxwood and we are apt at creating virtually any landscape piece out of artificial foliage. Palm trees are another topic we will tackle later on as it is another one of our big sellers. Artificial topiaries are great when used as decoration pieces in any type of setting and landscape. With our expertise you can create a perfect faux topiary to fit into your design, as well as knowing that it will be the most realistic option available without going 100% authentic. With authentic foliage, especially with topiaries, it takes constraint maintaining to keep it's original shape. If you have multiple of these gracing your garden or interior space, hiring outside might be required to just keep up with the constant growth. That is why more and more people are choosing to move to artificial topiaries and their life-like foliage, it is impervious to the harsh weather and requires no maintenance whatsoever.. Let us go into the specific topiary types and talk about how they fit for each landscape.
Ball topiaries
Artificial ball topiaries are a very common piece that can add a lot of style to any space it is placed in, since it is a recognizable and easily complements other parts within a garden design. When looking at using boxwood balls within a design it is crucial to understand the size and shape you need to make an everlasting impression. Also, you need to then figure out how many of these pieces are needed for the design. For many designs that involve artificial boxwood balls you will have a bunch of these small to medium sized topiaries next to each other to create a "bumpy" look. This allows for more space to have an herb garden or vegetable patch included within your design, if you were to space the faux topiary balls out throughout the garden then you would indefinitely have less space for those necessities. As a common decoration piece, faux boxwood balls are great additions to any space. Hopefully these tidbits help you as you contemplate the wide varieties of artificial topiaries available here at Commercial Silk International.
Spiral topiaries
These are the topiaries that have been gaining much attention the past few years, because they are unique and are exude more of a modern vibe. With these topiaries you can bring a more sophisticated look to the space without leaving the modern era. The faux spiral topiaries we create have endless amounts of possibilities when it comes to the actual design, we create them in a variety of ways with a variety of foliage so there is always something new and exciting. For our specific artificial boxwood topiaries we can craft them in a trimmed look that definitely leaves you with a more professional look as they are formed perfectly to your size requirements. The other options is more haphazard but with that leaves you with a more relaxed setting. Another popular topiary piece that is spiralled is made with cedar foliage. We have not talked about this variety much in depth so far, and that is because it is not as common and only really used when customers are certain of the foliage they are looking for. In this case with topiaries, cedar tends to be a very common foliage variety that can be used in many different settings. Artificial spiral topiaries are just one of the many varieties that can be used to make any landscape come to life and whatever your size or shape we can make it to your exact needs.
Cone topiaries
Another famous topiary variety is the cone topiary,which can be made out of anything from regular faux boxwood to exuberant white azalea. Cone topiaries are pretty simple, just a cone shaped out of any foliage you prefer and made to your specific dimensions. The size and shape is what really makes the topiary unique, so if you are having a more formal design then something skinny and slender would be of good use. That is because modern landscape design favors simplicity and minimalistic qualities, both found in within tall skinny cone. For a more robust design that you are trying to evoke images of grandeur and splendor, then opting for a more wider cone would be ideal. You can make these out of our most common faux foliages, or go with something new like our artificial cedar which is unique and not found in most traditional gardens. The trimmed look will be mostly favored with these types of topiaries, because it is more of a decoration piece and not strictly geared for design. However like with all landscapes, anything goes and opting for the more haphazard look with an untrimmed cone topiary may just fit your needs.
When you begin your design process it is always good to understand the basics of what your landscape will require before even beginning to gather pricing. With this information you will be well prepared and have a better idea for what exactly you will need to make the landscape of your dreams. Whether you are buying for your own home, or are an interior designer contracted for another firm, this information will be sure to set you on the right path. With artificial foliage and plant products you can't go wrong, and the possibilities are nearly endless. Also, you will find no easier way to have topiaries that are low maintenance and readily available. Remember Commercial Silk International while you continue on your design process, and let us know if you have any other questions!

In today's entry we will focus on the latest trend in today's design, vertical gardens. For the past couple of years you may have seen these works of art sprouting up more and more, and that is because they are becoming the new modern art form in terms of greenery and lush foliage. With vertical gardens you can create a landscape that turns drab walls into a living and breathing masterpiece, using all sorts of artificial foliage. You can mix traditional faux boxwood with a more modern fake ivy foliage to embrace both the old in new. The possibilities are endless and with Commercial Silk International's line of artificial foliage you will have a faux wall garden that is long-lasting and most importantly easy t o maintain for years. The best part of our design team is that we are not only limited to mats of our foliage in making these vertical gardens, we can create them out of all of our faux plant products. You can easily build a green wall using artificial philodendron leaves or fake palm fronds to bring a more exotic look to your office space or home.
Let us explore the different ways you can vertical gardens in your garden or home to create a more contemporary or homestyle feel, whichever you prefer. A simple way to utilize our artificial foliage and have a place to hang them on a vertical structure is to use recycled pallet boxes. These simple crates that lay around collecting dust can become a major art piece by just attaching artificial mat rolls and hedges to their wooden panels. It is simple and yet an effective way to use an existing substrate as a wall piece without damaging your actual wall. Our suggestion would be to zip tie the mats to the wood (no worries, the foliage will cover up the ties) and then once they are attached you can then hang the palettes wherever you would like.
We at Commercial Silk International have come up with other substrate solutions to help you as you plan to build a vertical garden with artificial foliage. One of the most simple ways and one we use more often than not is galvanized steel as a screen. For building mat walls we simply take the artificial boxwood hedge foliage and attach it to the steel so there is a nice rigid backing. This allows for the substrate to withstand any amount of wind if you place it outside, and also can be helpful if you are not wanting to attach to a wall indoors. We also have foam substrates for vertical walls that may only be used temporary. This is our most economical option and allows you to move the wall, however big it is, with relative ease because of it's lightweight nature. Our other substrate option is natural wood, much like the palette suggestion we mentioned above. With natural wood you can evoke a more "authentic" vibe.
Building a vertical garden from scratch could be difficult, especially if you are basing your ideas off of gardens scene in more modern cities like Tokyo. When you begin to look into building an artificial green wall you must first start with the type of foliage you want. What we suggest is to always throw in some sort of faux pearl grass variety, whether it be light or dark. Artificial pearl grass tends to be more wispy and airy allowing for a more ethereal feel when added to other types of foliage. Our faux boxwood foliage is something we have discussed many times throughout this blog, but again it is the most traditional and recognizable foliage type and is a great complimentary piece. Artificial juniper, azalea, and ivy all can be used within vertical garden design as well and if you are able to use all of these then you have truly found the sweet spot for creating true art.
Maybe you're thinking "This all sounds great, but how do artificial plants and foliage survive outside"? Protection against the outside elements is crucial for any type of faux foliage being made into a vertical garden or green wall. PermaLeaf, our proprietary blend of chemicals, is the answer we have come up for all of our major commercial Customers like Disney and Universal Studios. This chemical blend has been tested through and through and has been studied extensively to ensure that when applied, our foliages don't fade in the sun or grow brittle in the cold. This allows you the peace of mind of making a vertical garden for the outdoors.
If you are an interior designer then keeping your vertical wall as safe as possible is of highest priority. Fro many states there are fire codes you must abide to in regards to having artificial plants within a closed space. With ThermaLeaf, our other famous chemical blend, we ensure that the artificial foliage and plants you purchase for your faux green wall will be fire-resistant and impervious to random fire outbreaks. This is crucial to ensuring that your space is safe so definitely keep this in consideration if you are using a vertical garden for indoor use.
So we have gone into depth on how vertical gardens have become a huge trend in artificial plant design. You can use almost any type of substrate for your design, and we have some options as well, but being creative is what is most important. Understanding the faux foliage varieties is another part that must be looked into as you think about the actual design. Some foliages work well with each other and some don't, so as we continue on this blog we will hit on a couple of those and explain it in more depth. Finally, the 2 different kinds of treatments to be applied to your artificial plants is crucial for you to look into as you begin designing so you can keep the green wall long-lasting and safe for everyone you looks upon it. Hopefully all this information will help you as you continue to research faux plants and foliage and continue your personal design process.
In today's blog entry we will tackle some of the big issues that have come up these past couple of years in regards to water usage laws in California. This topic is huge for the artificial plant business as it grows the market exponentially since consumers, especially in California, are forced to limit how much water they use. Even though it makes way for our company to grow, it is still a sad fact that the world we live in is becoming less and less hospitable and water is running short. Sleep, food, and water are the basic necessities we as humans need to survive and it's scary to think that one day we all could be under the same such laws. That is why we at Commercial Silk International believe it would be much more beneficial for consumers to move to more artificial types of landscaping with faux boxwood hedges or fake phoenix palm trees, because in the long run that may in fact save us from draining our water supply completely. Yes, it may sound like we are scaring you just to sell products, but as you will learn from this next couple of paragraphs this problem is very real and present to our society. As we continue further take a look at your own home or office and think of ways artificial plants and foliage could be used to help cut back on your own personal water usage. It may be the deciding factor on whether our children our children's children have clean water.
In April of 2015 California's Governor, Jerry Brown, sent out an executive order to his state saying that there will be a 25% reduction in amount of water supplied by all the local supply agencies, creating a huge stir among the community and nation. I'm sure if you are someone not from California you may not have known how big of an impact the drought has been for it's residents, but for the past few years this has been a growing problem that was not officially addressed until that day. This ban on usage was going to affect residents in huge ways, from taking care of their live gardens to even cutting down the time spent in the shower. These changes are astronomical for some people who do not like having the government meddle into their personal lives, and a lot of times that reason is justified. In this case however, I think we can all agree that the value of water outweighs any of those daily activities that we may deem "essential". Yes, taking a long hot shower feel great for 20-25 minutes. Yes, washing your sports car everyday to keep up with appearances. Yes, maintaining a live garden is absolutely necessary if you just invested in a large scale landscape project. But, now think about not being able to do any of those things. Plus, think about having to spend $3.00 a gallon for gas AND water. Whatever your views on global warming or environmental issues are these scenarios are going to happen down the road if we don't decide to change. We at Commercial Silk International understand this and have grown because of these implications. We know that sooner or later people won't be able to use authentic foliage and will have to resort to artificial boxwood hedges to decorate. It's okay though, we have developed a product line of faux plants that match the realistic qualities of their counterparts, and have technologies in place to make sure they last and are easily customizable. As we look toward the future and technology we must also look at design and how artificial foliage and boxwood hedges can become a major part in our society.
Next, we will look at the implications people under this executive order face when disobeying and understand how artificial plants and foliage could help negate all of that. First off, if people are caught watering their plants without a nozzle that automatically shuts off they will receive warnings until fines of up to $500 are enforced. This applies to any homeowner who has running fountains and the like that uses water as a means of decoration. These fines are affecting everyone and are most definitely a thing of stress in the eyes of people who reside in California. There are some benefits these residents can incur if they purchase energy saving appliances and such, but in the end nothing will be the same as this water ban is in effect. That is why it is smart for people who live and california, and everywhere, to start looking into artificial plants. They are realistic, water saving, and easy to maintain year round. It is not an ideal solution to the problem of water scarcity, but it definitely will help. We now will look at the benefits of artificial plants as they pertain to this immediate issue and how they can elevate the stresses of people in California and others around the country who are experiencing drought.
Using artificial plants to decorate your home or business is something that should always be discussed when beginning your design process. Many people love the "authentic" look, but as talked about above this may not be a realistic opportunity in the future. Using our brand of high-quality artificial foliage and products you can create a landscape that is built to last and looks just as real. With our patented PermaLeaf technology we can ensure that wherever you place your faux boxwood hedges, topiaries, mats, rolls, screens, etc. that you will have that authentic look year after year. Using artificial plants will make sure you do not add to the loss of water our world is already facing, and in doing so also save you time in maintenance and hassle. With artificial plants the struggles of live plants disappear and all you need to do is design and place them where you want. As our country looks into ways to combat the water shortage that has already begun, we as consumers can take the necessary precautions ahead of time so that the future can still be bright in terms of saving natural resources.
In this blog entry we will revisit a blog we had before that pertained to jump-starting your design project with artificial plants. As a refresher we will revisit those two steps briefly before moving ahead with the rest of the information we will cover today. The first step we talked about was "Picking your foliage variety". From boxwood, ivy, azalea, pearl grass, and juniper you have a plethora of options to make the design you create match with whatever theme you are trying to create. That moves right into the second step we talked about which was "Picking a theme". Knowing the theme is going to help your design process because it will be making you look at the broad picture before getting too specific. When we take in the broad view everything tends to be more simple later on. So let us begin and start to look at the different ways we can make a design flourish with two additional steps that are more focused.
Step 1. Choose your product
So you have picked a foliage variety and identified your theme in regard to the design you are formulating. The next step is to pick the products you will use for your theme and since you have the foliage already picked out this becomes a lot simpler. When designing a project most people tend to use our artificial hedges in some capacity, because of their traditional look and how easy they are to customize. You can also look into our artificial topiaries that are both modern and traditional depending on what type you choose to use. We carry cone topiaries that are seen in various royal gardens and on the front steps of mansions. We carry ball topiaries in any size with as many sequence balls lined up vertical or horizontal. Also, we have topiaries that come in spirals in all foliage varieties and in any shape just like the rest of our custom products. We can build these topiaries out of the foliage you choose into any shape or character you desire, limits are not in our vocabulary. Green walls are also something that must be considered when you are in the design process. These works of art are becoming super trendy and large companies are placing them everywhere within their ways. We are talking tech giants like Google and Apple with others like Chanel and Barney's in New York. Green walls are essentially a mix of foliage and colored artificial plants that are then hung up in large tapestry-like dimensions to be displayed. They make up for wallpaper that is strictly two dimensional and with the extra dimension added in, it will sure to be an eye-dropping spectacle to whoever passes it. We explain all this to show you that the possibilities for your design are almost endless with the amount of customizing available through our manufacturing process at Commercial Silk International. Understanding the foliage behind it and the theme you are trying to embrace with the design is crucial for this step, because it allows you to narrow certain products down until you find the perfect fit. Even though our faux boxwood hedges tend to be the most popular of all of the products we sell, we can create anything out of our artificial foliage and have done so for the past 30+ years. With the products we carry and the amount of foliage we have on hand no project is out of our hand. We have 7 highly skilled project managers on the phone with customers constantly; writing proposals, formulating budgets, and going over the top service-wise to help your design come to fruition. Artificial products are the future of landscape and our company has made this become the leading provider of specialty products like artificial boxwood. With more and more architects and interior/exterior designers building landscapes with artificial hedge products it is no wonder more and more regular consumers are as well. It is the new trend and with this step and the ones we have discussed before it may be all you need to make your design truly come to life.
Step 2. Build your budget
Now that you have the foliage, theme, and products decided for the project you are creating, it is time to look at how to finance it. Artificial plants and boxwood hedges may seem to have a high cost at first. This is something a sales representative will explain in further detail, but we will touch on it a little in this entry. The amount of work that goes into putting together a all-natural landscape does not stop, ever. You must prune it every week, water it every other day (or every day if you live in the heat), and continuously keep up on the weeds and extra growth the plants will produce. This is something that only people with a lot of time and a love for work outside of "actual" work would want to do in their spare time. That alone we believe negates the extra cost you put towards making your landscape artificial. Faux boxwood hedges and all the other types of products require no maintenance and no watering, you just secure them where they need to go and you are set. This, and this alone, is probably the biggest advantage when switching to artificial plants themed in a landscape design. When you have went through all the above questions and are ready to start the design, then you will be able to confidently work with our project managers who will create an easy proposal that fits your needs. We do not like to be pushy with our clients, rather we like to get all the information we can (hence the steps) and then from our knowledge tell you upfront what can and cannot be done within your budget. This part can get long and drawn out at time, but hopefully with the information you have received this can make everything run smoother and get you your landscape as quickly as possible.

As we continue to talk about artificial hedges and their importance to landscape design, we must also recognize the ways they have and will continue to be utilized is architecture, fashion, and prestigious events. Living foliage is something that has been used countless times as a way of displaying class and sophistication, and is still being used more and more as celebrities have become as popular as ever worldwide but especially in the western world. When thinking about these events such as The Grammy's, Super Bowl interviews, and the Oscars we definitely do not make an effort to look at the setting surrounding the celebrities, but if we did we could easily see boxwood hedges and their influence. These events always have some sort of greenery as backdrop and it makes the celebrities appearance that much more appealing from a visual aesthetic standpoint. Using artificial boxwood hedges is actually something that the set designers and producers for these large galas utilize, as it is a less expensive alternative and is faster than growing and maintaining authentic boxwood. Commercial Silk International has supplied to these events with our faux boxwood, juniper, azalea, ivy, and pearl grass screens and hedges. One major event that requested our expertise is the U.S. Open, which again used these products as a backdrop for photo shoots with the celebrities. With our efficient workforce and knowledge of the industry as leader for the past 30 plus years we can make any event shine with our fake boxwood hedge pieces.
As a decoration piece artificial hedges and screens find their way into many different events that are not limited to just celebrities. Backdrops made from faux boxwood hedges also get their use from famous model events hosted by fashion designers such as Versace, Chanel, and Christian Dior to name a few. With big names like this at the head of the fashion industry you know they rely on quality visuals and pictures to make their clothes stand out and make them seem as trendy as possible. This is why these brand have become so popular, because due to the amount of effort put into the design and finding the right body to showcase it, if the pictures can't be perfect enough to reach the rest of the world all of that is done in vain. Using artificial boxwood hedges is a simple and effective way to get the perfect picture for these world renowned designers, and using our specific products we can assure them that they contain all the realistic details as the authentic foliage. Using either artificial juniper screens or fake azalea hedges these designers get the luxury of not having to find authentic hedges that are already grown and pruned, and can just get these products straight from us built to their exact specifications. As a backdrop, artificial boxwood screens tend to be more effective decoration piece because they are rigid and easily moveable from stage to stage. Our faux boxwood hedges come with bases that can be put on carts and rolled easily enough as well, but screens tend to be the more popular decoration piece for these situations. Whatever piece you are looking at using as a decoration piece you can know when you purchase artificial boxwood foliage from Commercial Silk International that you are getting a top quality product that is built to last.
Let's now talk about weddings. If the first two paragraphs did not resonate with you in any way, then this sure will. Weddings are hands down the biggest moments we as individuals can experience, and they require more planning than most of us realize when we start to look towards that big day. A simple way to make the decor for your wedding stand out to the people you invite, and help you compete with others in your circle who are planning weddings as well, it's to install a faux boxwood hedge. This simple decoration piece will most definitely bring aura of sophistication and classiness to your wedding that quite frankly can't be duplicated. Imagine having your own professional backdrop for photos just like they have at fashion and award shows, this is all possible through the use of artificial hedges. Decoration pieces can be simple and you can make our screens or hedges into any size you need, so if you are just looking for a single backdrop that is a definite possibility. Not only can these be used just as a backdrop, but many wedding planners have used them as a way to hang up announcements or the bride and groom's names adding flair to the already beautiful decor in display. The great benefit for people using these faux boxwood hedges for their wedding is that they do not need to be treated with any of our special treatments, since they're most likely going to be used just once and then put someplace safe for the next big event. If you're worried about the safety of the product and it's durability then no need to worry, Commercial Silk has developed treatments to keep these decoration pieces long-lasting and safe. ThermaLeaf will keep it fire-resistant for those designers who need to stay within the law (New York especially), and PermaLeaf is our treatment used when you need the product to last outdoors for many years. Please contact us and speak to a specialized project manager for more details on these treatments, we will go into more depth on the technology in later blog entries.
With artificial boxwood foliage made into hedges, screens, and privacy walls you can have a decoration piece that is the epitome of class. With the expertise of Commercial Silk International and our experience within the industry we can build exactly what you need. We create longer lasting decoration pieces out of our faux boxwood foliage that is proven time and time again to be more beneficial than the authentic plant. Contact us today to get in touch with a project manager and begin to see the endless possibilities of decor pieces you can create with faux boxwood foliage.
As we continue along this blog journey we will be throwing in pieces that pertain to design and how to build a landscape out of artificial hedges, but we will also look at broader topics to give a better idea of the importance of artificial hedges. Today's segment will take us through the world and look at how hedges are still a major piece of art for landscaping and design purposes. Artificial foliage makes all the examples we show a reality as they are low maintenance, easy to install, and realistic products that have a profound impact. Commercial Silk is a leader in creating artificial works of art with their green walls, mat rolls, screens, and hedges made out of a variety of foliages. We specialize in faux boxwood as this is the most popular, but we have foliage types in the range of traditional juniper to a more contemporary fake pearl grass. All these varieties and product types have been used in various projects and gardens throughout the world, so let us not waste anymore time and dive right in.
South Korea
Asian countries are well known for their expertise when it comes to boxwood hedges and no country demonstrates this more than South Korea. Korean gardens are known for being extremely natural and life-like so that they can blend in with the authentic world. Taking many of their ideas from Chinese gardens of old, South Korean gardens have been present for thousands of years. As you can tell from the picture above, they make very unique pieces and are almost perfect in their execution. The boxwood foliage pieces above are represent clouds almost flawlessly, but this can be easily done with the same level of detail using Commercial Silk artificial boxwood products. We have high-level designers in our workforce that are skilled in crafting our faux boxwood pieces into designs reflected all over the world. If this is a piece that you would like to see replicated and brought to your own back yard or business park, then Commercial Silk has the fake foliage and designers to make it happen.
China is well known for their luscious gardens and attention to detail when it comes to designing landscape art. They are by far the only country that has been consistent with their approach in terms of detail, functional appearance, and sheer amount of design. Their gardens do not just contain boxwood hedges but also use natural landscape like waterfalls, stones, and creeks to shape a truly remarkable piece of art. If you were ever to travel to China then one of the things that will always blow you away is the gardens, and we at Commercial Silk have identified these characteristics and incorporated them into our products design. We can build artificial hedges that bring extreme attention to detail in form just like the Chinese gardens of old and new. With contemporary faux foliage such as ivy and juniper we craft products that are trending and make a landscape very similar to the highly detailed chinese gardens.
Looking at Japan and their gardens it is easy to see how they are just as influenced in their design as the other countries. However, Japanese gardens are seen as more of a place for meditation than to appeal to the onlooker. Their boxwood pieces are in the forms of spirals and cloud shapes like their South Korean counterparts. They use boxwood foliage hedges to create a space that is calming for people to enter and be at peace. It is this traditional appeal that we at Commercial Silk would like to bring you as a home wonder or business partner. With our boxwood foliage products you can build an everlasting oasis for you guests using faux ivy, juniper, azalea, or whatever variety you choose. With our artificial hedges you can create privacy barriers just like the ones seen in japanese gardens, that keep the stresses of the modern world at bay and allow you time to be alone in the present moment. Our faux topiaries will add an even more surreal experience and choosing to have them shaped into cloud like structures will be sure to impress clients and take them to a whole new culture. There are endless opportunities when it comes to creating landscapes with artificial boxwood products, and with the help of our team at Commercial Silk International we can ensure that they last and are exactly the design to fit your needs
The last area we will look into is the continent of Africa, which has not as many gardens due to the extreme heat but still finds themselves creating wonderful landscapes in certain regions. African gardens are primarily found in South Africa and are very sparse when compared to the Asian countries. The popular ones have a vast amount of grass with lush gardens dotted throughout the expanse. The use of cone topiaries, hedges, and boxwood shrubbery is very consistent as well as adding in their own native plants and bushes. Creating something similar to the image above with artificial hedges is a real possibility and easily done with the technology and expertise at Commercial Silk. We build artificial hedges that are one of a kind and can withstand extreme heat just like what is found in African countries. Building a faux juniper topiary or fake ivy cone spiral is a simple yet effective way to make your lawn a cultural getaway for you and your family. The best part of using artificial products is that you will be satisfied knowing that they will not fade or become brittle, lending to an overwhelming sense of security in your purchase. Working with our project managers on site will help you gain a better perspective of the level of detail and effort we put into every project.
We have traveled around the world in this blog and seen examples of the different gardenscapes seen across the world. They look brilliant and though they are authentic and completely all-natural we at Commercial Silk can make them a reality with artificial boxwood foliage. We hope you know have a better idea for your own personal landscape design, and if you have any other suggestions for future blog post topics please let us know!

Innate Pharma SA (the "Company" - Euronext Paris: FR0010331421 – IPH) today announces that, per the licensing agreement for lirilumab, Bristol-Myers Squibb has paid Innate Pharma a US$15 million milestone payment for the continued exploration of lirilumab in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab).
This milestone payment follows the presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer annual meeting (November 2016) of encouraging preliminary activity results from the cohort of patients with Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) of a Phase I/II trial. These interim efficacy results - the first report for the combination of an anti-KIR antibody and an anti-PD-1 therapy - indicate that targeting both pathways with lirilumab and nivolumab respectively may provide enhanced clinical activity, particularly in PD-L1 positive tumors, with deep and durable responses in some patients.
Pierre Dodion, Chief Medical Officer at Innate Pharma, said: "The combination of lirilumab with nivolumab showed encouraging early efficacy signals in the initial part of the trial which support the strategy of simultaneously targeting the KIR and PD-1 pathways with lirilumab and nivolumab, respectively; the reported data point to broader potential for lirilumab. We look forward to further investigation of the combination in the Phase II part of this trial."
In total, Bristol-Myers Squibb is currently investigating lirilumab in six trials, across a range of solid and hematological cancer indications, in monotherapy and in combination with other agents, and Innate Pharma is responsible for conducting the EffiKIR trial, a randomized Phase II trial evaluating lirilumab as a single agent in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (see on clinicaltrials.gov).
About CA223-001: A Phase I/II Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Anti-KIR (Lirilumab) Administered in Combination With Anti-PD-1 (Nivolumab) in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors
CA223-001 is a Phase I/II dose escalation and cohort expansion study of lirilumab in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.
During the dose escalation, patients with advanced solid tumors who progressed after ≥ 1 prior therapy received lirilumab 0.1–3.0 mg/kg once every 4 weeks (Q4W) plus nivolumab 3.0 mg/kg Q2W. Cohort expansion was initiated at the maximum dose of lirilumab 3.0 mg/kg Q4W plus nivolumab 3.0 mg/kg Q2W in patients with advanced solid tumors. The data reported at SITC pertain to an expansion cohort in SCCHN. Key study endpoints include safety (primary), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), and biomarker assessments.
The purpose of this Phase I/II open label study is to determine the safety of the combination of lirilumab and nivolumab and to explore the preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination in patients with a range of advanced solid tumors.

People to sell their old mobile to secure handset with web access?
A new initiative designed to raise awareness of the internet may persuade people to recycle their old mobile phone so can they buy a new smartphone with web access.
Network provider Three has launched a Mobile Broadband Bus that will travel across the UK to encourage Britons to 'get online'.
The bus will demonstrate the advantages of mobile broadband and it is also hoped the project will enable the UK to become the first place in the world where everyone knows how to use the internet.
Britons may be prompted to sell their old mobile so they can upgrade to a handset that offers web access.
UK Digital Champion Martha Lane Fox was at the launch and said: "With partnerships such as Three and UK Online Centres we can really achieve our goal of bringing more and more people into the wonderful world of the web."
Earlier this week, Three announced it will be stocking the iPhone 4 at retail outlets across the UK.

With statistics stating that only one in ten people get enough sleep, it is definitely a cause for concern. This is especially important when the importance of sleep is considered. Without proper sleep, the day to day activities are affected and so is the mood of a person.
There are many things one can do to ensure they get adequate sleep including leading a stress-free life and keeping physically fit. An important way to ensure you get enough sleep that many seem to have forgotten is proper nutrition. According to nutritionists, food plays a very important role in the regulation of one's sleep.
If you are struggling with sleep and keep tossing and turning every other night when you go to bed, a balanced diet may not be enough to help you. Here are some foods that help you sleep that you could try out.
Dairy products
Borrowed from old wives tales, scientific research has been undertaken to show that a warm glass of milk just before bedtime goes a long way in getting better sleep. Milk however is not the only drink with these benefits; other dairy products have these benefits too. Yogurt is particularly very helpful.
Dairy products are rich in tryptophan which is an amino acid necessary for the production of brain chemicals needed for sleep. They also have calcium which is necessary for the production of these chemicals. These are serotonin and melatonin whose increased concentrations results in the state of sleep in the body.
For best results, combine the dairy products with a bowl of cereal, oatcakes or any other carbohydrate-rich snack. This serves to stimulate the release of insulin which is necessary for clearing amino acids that could slow down the action of tryptophan from the bloodstream. Therefore, more tryptophan reaches the brain inducing sleep faster.
Whole grains
This is not only a healthier choice in your meals but will also help you sleep much better. Whole grains tend to increase insulin levels more than the processed grains. The result is that they introduce more serotonin into the body resulting in faster and more relaxed sleep.
Whole grains are rich in micronutrient mineral called magnesium. Being deficient of the same has been shown to result in lack of enough sleep. With these grains making up part of your foods, you can rest assured that you will get enough sleep thanks to the adequacy in supply of the nutrient.
What are some of these whole grains you should eat?
- Jasmine rice
- Barley
- Whole-grain wheat
Melatonin which is a sleep-inducing chemical released in the brain when it is dark requires vitamin B6 for its release. This is where eating fish and sleep meet with the fish providing this much needed nutrient.
Most fish are rich in vitamin B6 but it is present in high amounts in salmons, tuna and halibut. Another reason why fish and especially salmons are helpful in improving sleep patterns is because it is rich in dietary vitamin D whose deficiency results in lack of enough sleep. In a recent study involving 95 middle-aged men, improved sleep was marked in those taking a meal with salmon three times a week. Not only eating fish but also go fishing can help to calm your mind and sleep well. Just remember to bring with you the spinning rod and enjoy.
Thanks for reading!

Fisher Research Laboratory 1270
By Joe Patrick
From Page 10
October, 2001 issue of Lost Treasure
In 1931, with four employees, Dr. Gerhard Fisher began producing the Metallascope the world's first production metal detector. With that simple step, Fisher Research Laboratory and the Fisher metal detector, were born.
Throughout the 70-years since, Fisher Research Laboratory has been a world-leader and innovator in metal detector design and development. Long-recognized for its high-quality, high-performance metal detectors, Fisher is currently celebrating its 70th year of business with the release of a new, special anniversary edition metal detector, appropriately named the model 1270. The new model 1270, is based, in part, on Fisher's highly successful 1266-X, which has become a legend among detectorists and treasure hunters worldwide especially relic hunters.
When first introduced in the mid 1980s, the original Fisher 1260-X was the hottest, most innovative metal detector available and continued to be very successful for Fisher through its various improvements and refinements right up to the current 1266-X model. The new model 1270 keeps and builds on many of the innovative and proven features that have made the model 1265 and 1266 so very popular, but also makes use of new technology and electronic circuitry to advance the science to a higher level of performance and versatility.
Features: During Autumn of 1999, I had the opportunity and pleasure to field test Fisher. s new 1236-X2 metal detector. This was Fisher's first model to incorporate the third derivative silencer mode, which helps to eliminate excessive noise, pops and clicks. when searching in trashy areas and over hot, unevenly mineralized ground or areas containing many hot rocks such as coal cinders or iron-laden gravel (slag).
I found the Silencer circuit to work extremely well and am happy to report that it is included as a user-selectable feature of the new model 1270!In addition to the Silencer function, the model 1270 has a few other features that enhance its performance and versatility.
A new high-resolution iron discrimination mode . that enables you to. see through. iron trash like never before, and a precision ground balance adjustment for difficult soil conditions. The ability to operate either silent or with an audio threshold is also provided. The high-resolution iron disc. mode and precision ground balance features can be very effective and productive for many users, but particularly so for relic hunters. The iron discrimination mode enables all-metal depth, with the ability to control the amount of small-iron acceptance or rejection at will.
In many of my past field tests for Fisher and other brands, I have stated that I feel the best design and placement for the mode/pinpointing function is a trigger switch activated by the user's index finger. This design makes sense for both right and left-handed operation, or for those who switch back and forth while detecting to give their arm a rest.
After using scores of various metal detectors over the years, I have found no mode-change/pinpointing method better than the index-finger-operated trigger switch. Like the 1266-X, the new1270 continues to use the trigger switch design another plus for Fisher and the 1270.Those familiar with the 1265-X and 1266-X will immediately recognize that the model 1270 is now enclosed in a slightly larger control housing. the same one thats used for the CZ series.
While this is necessitated by the additional controls and electronic circuitry of the 1270, I am not yet used to seeing this larger box in my hand, nor the larger feel of using it having used a 1266-X on-and-off for the past few years, I miss and prefer the smaller, more-compact design of the 1266-X.
Controls The model 1270 is an 8.2 KHz slow-motion metal detector configured with an 8-inch concentric, coplanar, Spider search coil. It uses a three-piece breakdown S-pole rod assembly with double-locking lower stem and weighs about 3.5 pounds. You may have noticed that the new 1270 operates at a slightly higher frequency (8.2 KHz) than the 1266-X. s 4.8 KHz. This should improve its ability to detect low-conductivity targets better, such as gold, lead and brass.
Powered by two, drop-in, 9-volt Alkaline batteries, the 1270 will operate for about 30-40 hours before replacements are needed. A Low Battery Alert L.E.D. automatically blinks when the batteries are nearly drained.
The 1270 has three search modes: Normal Discrimination; Enhanced Iron Discrimination and All-Metal Ground Balanced search.
The Normal Discrimination mode provides full-range discrimination, from iron through screw caps. For sites where improved see through. in iron trash is needed, the high-resolution Iron Disc. Mode can be used with very good results.
Of course, for those who want to dig-it-all, or require a manual ground adjust, the All Metal Ground Adjust mode is the correct choice.
The control panel of the 1270 has the following controls and functions:
POWER ON/OFF VOLUME OFF/ON switch; adjust knob for desired volume NORMAL DISC. Sets the normal range of discrimination from iron through screw caps. ALL METAL GROUND ADJ. DISC. For primary mode all-metal searching and ground balanced searching. IRON DISC. . Used in combination with the Iron ON/OFF switch to reject small iron targets. SENSITIVITY Enables silent or threshold searching. Adjust knob for optimum target sensitivity. Full clockwise provides a low audio threshold.
SILENCER ON/OFF . Switch ON for silent discrimination, OFF for standard discrimination. IRON ON/OFF switch for iron disc. Mode, OFF for normal search mode. TRIGGER SWITCH Three-position, spring-loaded trigger switch; center position for primary search mode, push for secondary search mode, pull for pinpoint.
FieldTest Setting-up the 1270 for field use is easy, as it is a very. user-friendly metal detector. First, determine which primary search mode you wish to operate in Normal, Enhanced Iron or All Metal.
For most park-type hunting, I used the Normal mode as my primary mode. For detecting relic sites or woods hunting, I usually used the Enhanced Iron mode, unless the site was very trashy. You can easily mix and match modes as search conditions warrant and it was nice to have this flexibility when needed. Pushing the trigger switch forward will switch to the selected secondary operating mode, while pulling it will switch to the pinpointing mode. The switch is spring-loaded and automatically returns to its center (primary mode) position once released.
One odd condition I noticed was that if I pulled and held the trigger switch (pinpoint), while still a few feet above the ground, I got a signal no matter where I approached the ground. It seemed as if the internal ground balance point was set way too positive. However, each time I pinpointed an actual target (pulling the trigger switch with the coil near the ground), it seemed to work just fine. The zero-motion pinpoint mode produces a pleasing, modulated, 512Hzaudio tone. A built-in speaker and stereo headphone jack are provided.
At a volume setting of 5-6, with sensitive headphones, the 1270 produces a very strong, positive, hit on good targets. It has plenty of audio strength and even deep signals produced solid, very audible hits. During the course of my field test, I searched several different sites including an old park, several wooded sites and an old group-home site.
The 1270 worked well at all of these and while I was quite satisfied with its performance on coins, my gut feeling and intuition were,. This is an awesome relic machine! At one site, I was finding numerous, small, old, metal buttons and a few pieces of old costume jewelry in an area that I know has been well searched. The 1270 was giving very positive and loud hits on these too! Most of these targets were about six to nine inches deep. On most coins, I was surprised by how loud and solid they sounded, when upon retrieval, I found them to be anywhere from 4-8 inches deep and this was with the volume control set only halfway!
The 1270 hits hard and usually there is no mistaking a good target. Junk, tends to break up and is sporadic, while the good stuff consistently produces a repeatable and steady audio sound
Conclusion Fisher quality and performance are well-known among detectorists worldwide and their detectors are highly respected for their depth capability the new model 1270 is no exception. With its enhanced versatility, performance and adaptability, it is destined to a quick rise to the top of the top performers list of high-performance metal detectors.
Although any coin or jewelry hunter would like and do well with a 1270, I think it will be the avid relic hunters who will ultimately embrace and totally appreciate the outstanding capability of the model 1270. I am confident that the Iron Disc. Mode, in particular, will directly contribute to many new relic finds many of which will come from iron laden, difficult-to-detect sites Fisher?, 1260, 1265 and 1266-X metal detectors are all legends I believe the model 1270 will soon be joining their ranks! The Fisher model 1270 retails for $559.95 and comes with a lifetime warranty.

North Platte High School | T.I.E.S.
My name is Arttie Parker. I was raised in Hershey, NE, graduating in 1988. Following high school, I attended Mid-Plains Community College for two years before transferring to Kearney State College/University of Nebraska at Kearney, where I majored in broadcast journalism. I left college before graduation to take a position at KRNY/Y-102 FM radio, where I worked for nearly nine years as the morning co-host, music director, assistant program director, and advertising coordinator.
After leaving the broadcasting field, I took a position with Boys and Girls Home of Nebraska working with juvenile offenders at the group home and shelter in North Platte for nine years. While with the agency, I served in multiple capacities, working as a group home counselor, emergency shelter counselor, trainer, tracker, and juvenile diversion officer. I also worked as a certified para-educator in the alternative classroom on the North Platte campus, and was certified as a national trainer in conflict resolution.
While working at the Boys and Girls Home, I also took a position working as a para-educator in the North Platte Public School District, working for two years in the LINKS alternative school program at Madison Middle School. When that program closed, I took a one-on-one para-educator position at Adams Middle School, working with a student on the autistic spectrum.
While working in the North Platte middle schools, the Boys and Girls Home closed. At this time, I returned to college at Mid-Plains Community College with the intention of completing my degree work. While at Mid-Plains, I graduated with honors and completed my Associates of Arts degree. I then transferred to Chadron State College to continue my education, also taking on-line courses from Peru State College and Wayne State College at the same time. I graduated Suma Cum Laude from Chadron State College with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in History with a minor in Sociology. I then completed a second Bachelor's of Arts Degree from Chadron, earning a degree in education, with endorsements in social studies and Special Education. I am currently working on completing my Master's Degree in History Education.
I am currently in my fifth year with North Platte High School, working in the Transition in Educational Settings (T.I.E.S.) alternative program, working with juvenile offenders and students returning from out-of-home placements. Our program works to help students fill in credit gaps incurred due to these placements, and to help students successfully transition into the regular classroom setting at North Platte High.
Outside of North Platte High School, I am actively involved in the community. My wife and I are extremely active in the Salvation Army Christmas Toy program, having worked as volunteers for more than 15 years and being honored as Christmas Volunteers of the Year for 2015. We also jointly serve as co-leaders of our oldest son's Cub Scout den. In addition, I have been an AYSO soccer coach in North Platte since 2011 and will be coaching two teams starting this season. I have coached t-ball in North Platte, as well, and I am currently an assistant youth wrestling coach in Hershey. I served in the role of Santa Claus for Linden Court Nursing Home for more than 15 years, and have served as North Platte's Downtown Association Santa for the past seven years, as well.
I recently moved back to my hometown of Hershey, NE, where I live with my wife, Marie, and our two sons, Jaydon and Jaxon, as well as two dogs and four cats.
