![]() ![]() **We aim to address customer concerns such as these and provide suggestions for the best mural experience for our customers. Wait at least 24 hours (preferably longer) before installing the mural. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. If skim-coating is not an option, sand any rough areas and eliminate as many high spots and ridges as possible, and consider applying a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. If possible, consider smoothing out your wall texture with a skim-coating of drywall compound before priming and painting this will give the ideal wall surface with few imperfections. For these wall surface textures, it is crucial that they are properly prepared and the right mural material is chosen for peel and stick materials. Wall Textures: Many walls have been treated with an added decorative texture like orange peel, knockdown, stipple, etc. Unpainted drywall, or walls with inferior paint applications, may be problematic and need attention before beginning your mural installation. If applying to newly painted walls, wait 10-14 days before installation. ![]() However, we highly recommend preparing the surface in advance using a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Proper cleaning and dry time of the wall surface with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and water (30%) MAY significantly improve the adhesion. ![]() Washable, durable, low-VOC and No-VOC paints may contain additives which can inhibit proper mural adhesion. Modern Paint Formulations: Some modern wall paints can make self-adhesive (peel and stick) murals more challenging to install. If you believe your wall surface may be a problem, please consider our pasted products, UltraStik™ (pre-pasted) and ProStik™ (requires paste), for a more universally compatible installation or take the necessary steps to properly prepare your wall surface as described in detail below. If you're unsure, we recommend ordering swatches of our materials to test adhesion prior to installation. There are endless combinations of wall paint and wall textures out there and we can’t test all of them. While we do offer materials compatible with varying wall surface types, some paints may inhibit adhesion of peel-and-stick products, and some wall textures may not provide enough surface area to stick a combination of those two make it even trickier. Our products are designed to work on ideally prepared surfaces, preferably smooth walls with a high-quality paint and primer. We strive to help you choose the right material for your wall mural project. ![]() Learn more about our materials and other specialty materials for masonry walls and exterior compatible options in our material comparison guide.

Without further ado, here’s what you need to know about framed vs. It’s beneficial to understand the similarities and differences between these two options so you can choose the better option for your home. Two popular cabinetry options in homes today are framed cabinets and frameless cabinets. Therefore, you want to ensure that you make the best selection for yourself and your space. There are countless options, styles, colors, and sizes of cabinets to choose from when redesigning your kitchen. While considered premium cabinets, they are migrating into more affordable territory.Cabinetry is one of the main components of any home’s kitchen design. You tend to find this in Euro-styled kitchens and going under brand names such as Snaidero, Porcelanosa, Aran, or Smallbone of Devizes. One riff on slab cabinets is the high-gloss look. Slab cabinet finishes tend to be either natural wood or a bold, dramatic color such as red, purple, or black. This may be entirely appropriate for a rarely used bathroom or laundry room, or if your budget is very modest. On the opposite end of the spectrum, doors composed of MDF (particle board) and covered with rigid thermofoil (often white) are some of the cheapest you can find. Slab doors create the smooth, clean, uncomplicated lines of contemporary design. If you're remodeling a modern kitchen or changing your kitchen/bath into that style, consider using solid hardwood or wood veneer slab doors on your cabinets. Slab doors can paradoxically create two different looks in a kitchen or bathroom: one of sleek modernity and the other of plain utilitarianism. These doors can also be coated in a melamine exterior. ![]() Medium-density fiberboard is a standard material used for doors that will be painted or as the core layer for doors covered with plastic laminate or thermofoil. The edges of the slabs are covered with hardwood veneer tape. ![]() These are finish-grade plywood panels in which the face layer is a high-quality hardwood applied over cheaper ply of pine or other softer woods. These are found in only the most custom installations. These doors are formed from solid hardwood boards glued up edgewise. This is the most expensive but also the most durable and solid construction. One constant, though, is the fact that slab doors have no frames they are solid slabs. The edges are 90-degree corners.Īs is true of raised panel cabinet doors, slab doors can be constructed in many ways, and the construction methods largely dictate the cost of the cabinets. The front of the door is completely flat, with no bevels. This raised panel design, such as is found in Shaker-style cabinets, gives a very traditional look.įlat-panel doors, otherwise known as slab cabinet doors, lend a modern look to any kitchen or bathroom. Most cabinet doors still use a form of contoured design, in which frames and panels are constructed so that the cabinet faces are dimensional rather than flat. Slab cabinet doors are flat panel doors that have no ornamentation or beveling. Slab cabinet doors immediately identify a set of cabinets as being modern, contemporary, or mid-century in style. Homeowners choose the doors and drawer fronts, not the boxes. In fact, with many kitchen cabinet manufacturers, the boxes are interchangeable. While the boxes are larger than the doors, it's the doors that present themselves front-and-center. The look of kitchen cabinets is often fully centered around the cabinet doors.

Moreover, this study found that a random group of intelligent problem solvers, i.e. Whether it be cognitive diversity, gender diversity or even just a mere difference in the size of the group, it is acknowledged that alternative perspectives more often than not lead to the optimal solution. According to an article by Forbes, diverse teams actually produce better outcomes. This variety can stem from ensuring each group consists of people of different genders, races, cultures, ethnicities, nationalities and so on. ![]() Diversity exists only with the presence of variety in a group. Similarly, STEM teams in the workforce need diverse viewpoints. Only with a sufficiently diverse pool of ideas from students even at an early learning stage can truly informed outcomes be expected. With STEM, students are equipped with the ability to take an integrative approach to identify, apply and integrate different concepts, to come up with innovative solutions to real-world problems. STEM serves as an interdisciplinary educational approach, and allows for the holistic development of students. The gender gap exists and is evident, and I aim to delve deeper into this topic and suggest how we can slowly learn to defeat these STEM biases in Southeast Asia.īefore I further examine the gap, however, it is paramount that I establish the need for greater women representation in the field of STEM namely, the need for gender diversity. ![]() This inconsistency and divergence here emanate largely from gender stereotypes, male-dominated cultures, lack of role models and math anxiety, as written in this article from the American Association of University Women.ĭespite female students actually achieving results on par with those of their male counterparts in math and science courses, many girls propel away from the science and engineering courses at the undergraduate level. However, there is definitely more that can be done. Southeast Asia, as compared to the world average of 30%, fares slightly better in terms of achieving gender parity. As Figure 1 from this UIS Factsheet shows, gender parity has still not been achieved in many countries globally. This phenomenon can be termed the STEM gender gap. In schools, most female students would rather pursue the arts, rather than subjects like mathematics and engineering. According to the World Economic Forum, female students and employees are under-represented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). ![]() ![]() When your parts have to be flat, Mic6 cast tooling plate has your back. When proper cutting techniques and equipment are used to cut MIC 6® cast tool and jig plate, these tight flatness tolerances will still be guaranteed. As forming tools, they use the processed material’s flowing properties to form the internal thread. Not only are these tight tolerances guaranteed in parent form, but Arconic also guarantees these tolerances in cut pieces as well. Roll tapping stands out as a clean and therefore chipless manufacturing process. Arconic measures these flatness tolerances using a laser system on a granite flatness table in the mill. These special thread mounts are only for Burgmaster machines. 75” (19 mm) and over are produced to thickness variations of no greater than.

Still, the fact that punishment was sometimes instant and harsh caused the games to come off as sort of ‘narrow’ for some people when it comes to possible solutions. “It’s the beauty of this genre, that when you are equipped with the skills of our characters and a thought-out plan, you can make almost anything work if you time it right or make the right adjustments. ![]() Desperados 3 has a varied cast of characters, but each mission dictates which ones you'll get to play with. But for Moritz and his team, they say that many players still only think there’s “one solution” for each encounter – and it’s something they’re trying to rectify with Süßkartoffel by making it much more beginner-friendly this time. In some ways, you could say Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 already offered the kind of sandbox approach to stealth Moritz mentions, as the open-ended nature of their tightly designed environments continue to offer plenty of ways of taking down their respective enemies. "Real-time tactics" still means a great deal to the development team, and for head of design Moritz Wagner, it conjures “flashbacks to my childhood, instantly me think of playing Commandos and how hard it was.” He also told me he’s “still in awe of how incredibly solid and well done the fundamentals of these games laid out by Commandos are,” and that it’s been “incredibly rewarding to work on that, iterate on it, enhance it and try to make more people enjoy it.”įor Codename Süßkartoffel, Moritz says they’ve “taken this genre to the next level in basically every way, which makes it all the more fitting that we are now relabelling the genre to Stealth Strategy.” He’s still tight-lipped about what that evolution will look like, but teases that “there going to be so many ways to play, it’s such a cool sandbox that pushes this genre so far ahead and I just want to see what people do with it.” Of course, by leaving the real-time tactics label behind, Mimimi aren’t saying the genre as a whole is now redundant.

This kind of shift isn’t without its challenges, though, so I caught up with the team at Mimimi to talk more about this newfound shift, and how it’s going to lay the foundations for what’s to come in Codename Süßkartoffel. In a blog post published today on Mimimi Games’ website, the studio announced they’re going to be referring to their work as “Stealth Strategy” games going forward, and they’re hoping this new genre label will help prospective players better understand their special blend of silent assassination tactics. Thus, it’s time for a change, say the studio. ![]() It’s a fair cop – despite appearing in our best strategy games list for many years, even I’ve struggled to come up with a succinct way of describing them. ![]() Not just because they’re knee-deep in making their next tactics game at the moment, currently known as Codename Süßkartoffel (the word for "Sweet Potato" in their native German), but because they feel the genre as a whole doesn’t quite convey what’s so special about their catalogue of excellent stealth ‘em ups anymore. The makers of Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun and Desperados 3 have been thinking a lot about real-time tactics recently. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Lucas Oil and the Lucas family have been so instrumental in supporting this tremendous series for so many years and we look forward to another year of our partnership, as well as another great season of racing,” NHRA President Glen Cromwell said.
