Manchester Jewellers Network to exhibit at International Jewellery London 2014 at Olympia Exhibition Centre

Manchester (PRWEB UK) 18 August 2014

International Jewellery London 2014 will, once again, welcome members of Manchester Jewellers Network (MJN) at their new venue in the Olympia Exhibition Centre. Members of MJN will show their most exciting work to date on Stand R76 in the Design Section.

Gemma Scully uses sterling silver and gold to create jewellery which is inspired by the Chaos Theory, something that has fascinated her for years; the idea that small differences in initial conditions yield widely diverging outcomes. Through a process of hand casting, she is able to conduct her own research into this idea. Dropping varying amounts of molten silver and gold into different volumes of snow, ice, and water, she creates wildly different all one off casting that Gemma then designs around. Along with casting, Gemma also uses other techniques within her work, including Gold inlay, fusing, and fabrication.

Karin Sheldon draws inspiration from her industrial market town home and the visual stimuli of everyday life. Karin uses her own handmade 24ct Gold sheet, and heat fuses it to sterling silver in the ancient technique of Keum-Bo; she manipulates the surface of the metal to create abstract or narrative patterns. Karin also employs the technique of Mokume-Gane (Japanese for ‘wood-grained metal’ where contrasting metals are layered together before the pattern is revealed by cutting through these layers) in her work. Learning and being inspired by these ancient techniques find Karin’s work constantly evolving and changing.

Charlotte Verity’s latest collections are inspired by vibrant city lights at night. The jewellery combines precious metals, silver, and gold with handmade glass components and faceted stones. Charlotte blows miniature hollow glass components using a flame in a similar manner to glass bead making. Working with transparent glass allows for the transmission of light; these spherical bubbles or straight drops made from transparent glass tube are often filled with tiny, round, faceted laboratory grown stones, adding sparkle. These stones are created under intense heat and can therefore withstand the conditions as the vessel is returned to the flame for the sealing process.

Kate Wimbush constructs her figurative jewellery using traditional hand craft techniques combined with computer technology, highlighted with resin used as a cold enamel to add colour to the designs. Kate aims for precision and accuracy in her designs; she achieves this using laser technologies. All her work begins as a hand drawn design, which is then developed using digital processes. Kate is inspired by her life and memories, especially the ‘Great British Seaside’ and her love of all things miniature. Kate’s jewellery aims to bring sparkle, colour, and joy to everyday life and a smile to your face! New for 2014, Kate is expanding her use of colour to include semi precious gemstones.

The 2013 stand members felt that exhibiting on a shared stand at International Jewellery London would be the ideal step forward to reach a larger audience. The decision to have a large stand provided the best visual impact, attracting a lot of attention to this group of Jewellers and Silversmiths from the North of England. The Showcase scheme was very successful and has been oversubscribed this year. The MJN aim of encouraging new and young talent gives many members of the group the chance they need to ’test the water’ in London and internationally. So there will four main exhibitors and 12 Showcase displays of work from both established makers and emerging makers, who can benefit from the mentoring from experienced MJN members during this big step in their careers.

We can now confirm that the Showcase Exhibitors are:

Ani
Chiara Bet
Tracey Birchwood
Hannah David
Stephanie Mann
Hilary Morel
Rebecca Muirhead
Frances Noon
Nina Rithalia
Caroline Royal
Amy Wilkinson
Kylie Yeung
The MJN Jewellers exhibiting at IJL have careers varying from 6 years to nearly 40 years. Their combined experience, skill, and commitment, with very different design outlooks, will make for an interesting and diverse experience for buyers visiting Stand R76.

Manchester Jewellers Network was established in 2002. The group’s main aim is to support excellence in the field of jewellery, exchange ideas, and build a reputation though exhibiting together. At monthly meetings, members plan and discuss events, share ideas and knowledge, and most importantly, support and advise their peers to help ensure each members success. MJN provides a supportive environment for emerging jewellers to develop and show their work, and gives established makers a forum to extend their ranges and pursue fresh challenges.

Recently, 12 members put on a four-month ‘Once Upon a Time’ exhibition at the Royal Exchange, which then moved to Manchester Art Gallery Shop. Currently, with their exhibition in Manchester Art ‘Geometric’ Gallery shop, 16 MJN Jewellers are celebrating the beauty of Geometry and how it can inspire designs for jewellery of all varieties. The work shows a high standard of skill and commitment, in materials ranging from sterling silver through gold and diamonds, to wood, plastic, pearls, stones, and glass. Pieces made using traditional hand skills sit alongside those created using modern technology. The exhibitions are well received with requests for travelling exhibitions and follow-up displays.

Several projects are in the pipeline for 2015.

Outwater to Introduce Many New Woodworking Products at the 2014 International Woodworking Fair (IWF)

20/08/201420/08/2014Klarm Prototyping

Bogota, NJ (PRWEB) August 19, 2014

With this year’s International Woodworking Fair set to take place from August 20th until August 23rd at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, Outwater [Outwater Plastics Industries, Inc. + Architectural Products by Outwater, LLC] will introduce many new woodworking products at the show to address and respond to the necessity for woodworkers to improve their operating efficiency and increase their revenue in a progressively more competitive marketplace.

The International Woodworking Fair, also known as IWF, is long established as the largest woodworking trade show in North America, and is geared towards assisting woodworkers, furniture and cabinet manufacturers and other industry related professionals in sourcing innovative and traditional woodworking products of all genres.

Outwater has chosen to highlight a few innovative products that are likely to garner significant attention and positive feedback at the show.

1) RF Dimmers

Now you’re in control! Unlike IR Dimmers, which require that they be utilized in close proximity with a direct line-of-sight to their paired, unobstructed IR Receivers, the radio frequencies of Outwater’s new RF Dimmers are omnidirectional and can travel over an extended range and effortlessly pass through walls or other barriers, permitting Outwater’s RF Receivers to be placed anywhere desired, such as in cabinets, bookcases, closets or other inconspicuous locations.

Available in three different formats to suit specific applications, Outwater’s RF Dimmers and Receivers are extremely cost effective and are manufactured using the highest quality components to ensure years of trouble free operation.

Afforded with a dimmer control knob (Varies by model), which smoothly rotates in discreet incremental steps, 12V and 24V lighting can be readily and precisely regulated as desired with an effective range from 10% to 100% of illumination, and can be simply turned on or off with a light tap on the RF Dimmer’s control knob.

2) 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex

Just introduced as the first and only 120V RGB LED Ribbon Flex Lighting on the market, Outwater’s new 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex offers a kaleidoscope of colors that can be programmed to morph at variable speeds or to remain static on any color via its corresponding, 9 function RGB controller.

With no fixtures to hide, the highly flexible, diminutive physical contour of Outwater’s 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex can be easily cut every 19-in.and connected end-to-end via solder free, plug in connectors, and can be mounted in all of those “hard to light” areas, or virtually anyplace that could not be previously lit.

Additionally, low heat emissions and no generated UV radiation render Outwater’s 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex, with its IP67 rated waterproof cover (Totally protected against dust ingress and the effects of immersion in water between 15 cm and 1 meter) safe for indoor and outdoor use in a variety of commercial and residential applications in which the 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex might potentially be exposed to water or damp environments.

Noted for its tremendous versatility, Outwater’s 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex maintains consistent binning codes and color temperatures, consuming only a few watts per linear foot and has an approximate 35,000 hour bulb life.

Offered in 16-1/2-ft., 33-ft. and 164-ft. lengths, Outwater’s 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex is ideal for use in tasks in which longer runs of lighting are desired, with a continuous length up to 80-ft. that can be powered via the multifunction RGB controller.

Complementary connectors, end caps and mounting clips along with a selection of LED Ribbon Mounting Channels readily enable a host of custom configurations and applications.

3) Plastic Channels for Economy & Standard 120V LED Brite Lite Flex

Intended for use with Outwater’s Economy and Standard 120V LED Brite Lite Flex, Outwater’s new 383-CL (Clear), 121-CL (Clear) and 121-SIL (Silver) PVC Plastic Channels readily enable cabinet and furniture manufacturers, lighting designers, contractors and electricians to inexpensively fabricate custom, aesthetically pleasing light fixtures without any prior experience either in the shop or right on the jobsite.

Sold in 12-ft. easy to cut lengths, Outwater’s Plastic Channels provide protective rigidity, affording 120V LED Brite Lite Flex with vital fortification to accommodate specific functions.

Link: 121-CL (Clear) Plastic Channel for use with Outwater’s Standard 120V LED Brite Lite Flex

Link: 121-SIL (Silver) Plastic Channel for use with Outwater’s Standard 120V LED Brite Lite Flex

4) Standard 12V LED Ribbon Flex Light

Ideal for budget oriented applications, Outwater’s new 12V Standard Ribbon Flex Light may be low in cost, but offers all of the sought after features found on more expensive flexible ribbon lighting including consistent binning codes and color temperatures, in the field “cuttability,” end-to-end solder free “connectability,” approximately 50,000 hours of bulb life along with low heat emissions and no generated UV radiation, rendering safe indoor and outdoor commercial and residential use in damp environments, which is further bolstered by an IP65 rated waterproof cover (Totally protected against dust ingress with limited permitted low pressure water jets from any direction).

Available in both 8-1/4-ft. and 16-1/2-ft. coiled lengths with several LED Chip configurations offered in cool white and warm white, Outwater’s 12V Standard Ribbon Flex Light is constructed with two DC 5.5 female ends, enabling it to be cut to size every 1-in. or 1-7/8-in. (Varies by model) while allowing for any remaining portion of unused lighting to be employed for another project.

5) Economy T5 LED Lighting

Now, for the first time, one can finally purchase a high quality T5 LED light fixture for less than the cost of T5 fluorescent lighting!

Comparable in size and appearance to a T5 fluorescent light with the functionality of a fixture, Outwater’s new, fully dimmable Economy T5 LED Lighting is priced as low as $ 9.00 for a 3-ft. and $ 12.00 for a 4-ft. light fixture, and is one of the most energy efficient and cost effective LED lights on the market.

Very slim and easy to hide, Outwater’s Economy T5 LED Lighting comprises a sturdy housing with a frosted lens that can be readily mounted to wood, metal or glass for use in various applications, such as in showcases, under cabinets, store fixtures and wall units.

Available in cool white and warm white, Outwater’s Economy T5 LED Lighting is offered in different sizes and comes complete with desirable accessories to expedite its “out of the box” installation and enhance its usage.

Featuring consistent binning codes and color temperatures along with a significant bulb life ensures exceptional, long lasting operation without compromise.

6) L-Task-8F Profile for 120V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite

Create with Task-8! Intended for use with Outwater’s newly introduced 120V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite, Outwater’s new L- Task-8F LED Aluminum Channel comes complete with everything needed to easily create and mount a custom lighting fixture using Outwater’s 120V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite, and comprises precisely engineered surface angles and a snap on, impact resistant, frosted polycarbonate diffuser lens to ensure even illumination without any scalloping or hot spots.

Offered in an easy-to-cut 8-ft. length, Outwater’s L- Task-8F LED Aluminum Channel not only provides tremendous design opportunities for a breadth of made to order applications, it is also great for dissipating longevity robbing heat from LEDs by also functioning as a heat sink, thus prolonging the life and lumen output of Outwater’s 120V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite’s LEDs many times over.

7) 120V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite

Just introduced as the counterpart to the only other 120V flexible ribbon light on the market, Outwater’s new, dimmable 120V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite employs a double row of 5060 chips that provide approximately 40,000 hours of use with consistent binning codes and color temperatures, and generate super bright light with an extraordinarily high output of up to 800 lumens per foot.

Because no transformers are required to power Outwater’s 120 V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite, an unprecedented, continuous length up to 82-½ ft., which can be cut every 19-in. and connected end-to-end in the field via solder free, plug in connectors, can be run via an available single attached AC power cord.

Outwater’s 120 V LED Brite Lite Flex Double D-Lite is IP67 rated (Totally protected against dust ingress and the effects of immersion in water between 15 cm and 1 meter), produces low heat emissions and no generated UV radiation, and is intended for commercial and residential use in damp environments with Outwater’s new L- Task-8F LED Aluminum Channel.

8) PDC-96 120V Power Distribution Center

Optimal operating efficiency without any interruption to slow one down is absolutely crucial in today’s workplace. However, overlooked peripherals are often accountable for reduced productivity.

UL Listed for safe use in commercial or residential environments, Outwater’s new PDC-96 120V Power Distribution Center comprises an indispensable connection interface via an incorporated pass through USB port for data transmission along with two self-powered USB ports and an AC outlet to charge and supply uninterrupted current to one’s computer and other standalone, power hungry electronic devices.

Manufactured with industrial grade components contained within the unit’s compact, black ABS plastic housing, Outwater’s PDC-96 120V Power Distribution Center includes an attached heavy duty SJT 4 AWG 3C power cord and easily installs via integrated spring clips.

9) LED Slide-N-Hide Electrical Cable and Wire Cover Extrusion

Outwater provides the perfect solution to messy wire and cable clutter with the introduction of its LED Slide-N-Hide Extrusion, a new, low profile, adhesive backed electrical cable and wire cover designed to unify, protect and conceal low-voltage cables and wires up to 22-gauge, such as those used to power LED Ribbon Lighting.

Easy to adhere to furniture, walls, baseboards and ceilings without drilling, nailing or stapling, Outwater’s polycarbonate LED Slide-N-Hide Extrusion is offered in white 18-in. lengths which can be cut and measures a scant 7/8-in. wide x ¼-in. high.

10) Barn Door Hardware

Outwater’s new line of Barn Door Hardware discriminatingly fuses superior construction and exceptional functionality with a refined aesthetic appeal that will elegantly blend into any traditional or contemporary setting in which it is utilized.

Offered as individual components in matte black, oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel powder coated finishes, Outwater’s Barn Door Hardware comprises solid, hardened aluminum rails and rail brackets along with steel roller straps, fasteners, center guides, door stops and rail splicers, which not only convey a true sense of substantial quality and heft unmatched by lesser, mass produced counterparts, Outwater’s Barn Door Hardware can support large doors weighing hundreds of pounds, and is certain to further one’s appreciation of the workmanship and materials used in its construction.

Over 3,000 organizations are pursuing printed, organic, flexible electronics, including printing, electronics, materials and packaging Chinese companies. While some of these technologies are in use now – indeed there are three sectors which have created billion dollar markets – others are commercially embryonic.

The benefits of these new electronics are numerous – ranging from lower cost, improved performance, flexibility, transparency, reliability, better environmental credentials and much more. Many of the applications will be newly created, and where existing electronic and electrical products are impacted, the extent will be varied.

This widely referenced IDTechEx Report brings it all together, with particular focus on applications and quantitative assessment of opportunities.

Graphene markets will grow from around $ 20 million in 2014 to more than $ 390 million in 2024 at the material level. The market will be split across many application sectors; each attracting a different type of graphene manufactured using different means. The market today remains dominated by research interest but the composition will change as other sectors such as energy storage and composites grow. The value chain will also transform as Chinese companies will move up the chain to offer intermediary products, capturing more value and China cutting the time to market and uncertainty for end users.

Interest in graphene remains strong. Companies on the market multiply every year and academic investment continues to pour in. For example, the European Union has committed 1 billion Euros over a decade to research on graphene and other 2D materials, while the Korean and UK governments have each, respectively, committed at least $ 40 and £24 million in the past two years. At the same time, several graphene Chinese companies have floated on the public markets, fetching large valuations and therefore demonstrating the continued appetite for investment in graphene. IDTechEx counts approximately $ 60 million of investment in private graphene Chinese companies over the years.

3D Bioprinting 2014-2024: Applications, Markets And Players

View Full Report at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/196167

3D bioprinting constitutes a raft of technologies, commercial and not-yet commercial, which have the potential to significantly impact a number of major markets, including in vitro testing for more efficient drug discovery and toxicity testing of personal consumer products, as well as the clinical fields relating to implant/grafting of human tissue. Though not yet employed within its addressable markets (current bioprinter sales and products are to research and development organisations only), the potential for rapid deployment in some areas already exists, subject to adequate funding being made available.

Drug discovery is a highly expensive process which in most cases will end in failure to gain regulatory clearance (see figure 1). The reason for this high failure rate is related to the lack of sufficiently accurate pre-clinical (prior to human volunteer) testing methodologies which have to date been limited to 2-dimensional human cell assays together with animal testing.

About the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission

CHRC was established in November of 1943 and was called The Mayor’s Friendly Relations Committee. The goal was to appoint a committee that represented various racial, industrial and religious groups to make sure all groups felt a part of their communities and supported one another in the city of Cincinnati. As time passed the name was changed to CHRC and the mission grew to target a much larger issue, discrimination. Thus, our mission is “to help our community to overcome prejudice and discrimination, build mutual respect and understanding, and to become more harmonious and cohesive.”

For 70 years, CHRC has provided middle ground for people who feel they have no voice and are unable to stand up for themselves. We investigate complaints alleging acts of discrimination in areas of housing, employment, and public accommodations or services; and evaluate cases to determine if the law has been violated. We then refer those cases to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, Housing Opportunities Made Equal, or other appropriate organizations. CHRC also investigate alleged acts of bias, hate crimes, and ethnic intimidation, and collaborate with other organizations to diffuse tensions in the community, including conducting mediation and intervention services.

We also provide Community Outreach Advocates for CIRV with hopes of engaging group/gang members & assist them with “turning their lives around.” We organize and host forums and events which encourage open dialogue around issues of prejudice and discrimination to eliminate social distance. We give underrepresented groups a voice through our Youth Services Programming, Fatherhood Initiative & Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services Mentoring partnership. We also provide training and workshops in the aforementioned areas.

CHRC is a non-profit organization. For more information on CHRC please visit the website at http://www.chrc.us or call the office at 513-352-3237. For more information about the awards ceremony, please visit http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/event/100611?ana=et_cinci_evu40. Come meet & congratulate this dynamic group of rising stars, their supporters, and past Forty Under 40 winners who have been recognized since this program began in 1995!
