One question that inevitably comes up in every workshop in which I teach patina is “Can you preserve the patina we just achieved?” Well, Runfola also addresses his best methods for this very thing. The techniques used to create the patinas are also explained and even include how to achieve this spot patina using a torch. Runfola shares his results from applying patina to different metals:Įach metal has its own chapter and includes images and descriptions on how to achieve the patinas shown. As Matthew Runfola offers in his introduction to Patina, “For me, patination is the right balance of science and art and it satisfies my dual-minded pesona.” He goes on to offer: “I enjoyed playing ‘mad’ chemist with the various colorants while applying them in a meaningful, artistic manner to my objects.” Colorful Enamel Dome Ring by Kirsten Denbow from Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist Sept/Oct 2015ĭepending on the type of colorant you’re using to create a patina or effect on your metal, the process might involve a bit of science. I’m not one to choose just one medium but I have to say, enameling is one of my favorite ways to spend free time. From creating headpins dipped in the colorful powders to intricate designs made by adding layer upon layer of enamels, just this one medium holds more than a lifetime of options and directions one could go. Neopastel on unprimed copper, by Helen DriggsĮnamel is another hot topic among “us” and a fabulous way to bring bold (or subtle) color to your metal. Throughout the class Helen shared her experiments to date on adding pencils to different metals (and how to get that right no matter copper, aluminum, sterling, or other), offered her take on using pastels, her tips and tricks for a great finish, not to mention, it was wonderful to spend the day with Helen. I recently took a workshop with Helen Driggs where we focused on adding color to metal using colored pencils. ![]() Iridescent colors are achieved here with heat temper oxidation of metal.

The easiest approach is to dedicate a single subfolder for each BE’s library, because BE allows assignment of individual subfolders for each libraries. Basically, I want to split the large pdf files into smaller chunks so that the searching tools such as Foxtrot can faily and easily compare the articles against the larger works such as books. My reasoning for separating books and dissertations from articles has been explained here. But, for the moment, I am using BE to manage it.

I am waiting on a new feature that will improve the consistency in renaming a copied attachment via AppleScript versus when renaming is invoked internally by a user. Far easier to archive this sub-folder and know it is safe as well.įWIW, at some point soon after Jon releases the next update to Bookends, I will update the AppleScript that copies attachments to the default attachments folder for the library. I have by specific example no need to be seeing the hoards of references that are otherwise stored in a library called My Citations with attachments stored in a sub-folder with the same name. I also have much greater appreciation for sub-folders as I switch back and forth with various local libraries using Bookends on my iPad. I must say however that I have far greater appreciation for multiple sub-folders after working from Mendeley and Papers3, where references are stored in sub-folders by year. ![]() When I would have one theme underlying my reference collections, I might worry less about storing files in a single folder at the Finder level.

This is found in the Cell Styles gallery. In the figure above, I applied the Title style to cell A1. Use TEXTJOIN to concatenate all of the row field items from the second pivot table. Putting True there will prevent a bunch of extra commas appearing at the end of your list. The second argument is called Ignore Empty. This new function was introduced in February 2017 for Office 365. Use the formula =TEXTJOIN(", ",True,Z4:Z20). Right-click the Grand Total and Remove Grand Total. Your pivot table will consist of a heading, a list of the selected Sectors, and a cell that says Grand Total. Take whatever is in your slicer and move that field to the Rows area. Remove all fields from the new pivot table. You want this pivot table to be outside of the print area and outside of one screen of data. Move far to the right and paste a copy of your pivot table. So - here is the solution that I offered to Joy in Houston. ![]() You should also look for distortion when you are not on actively using the phone.Even if there is no audible interference on your phone itself, there is some chance that interference could occur when you stand next to another electronic device, causing static with that device. If you suspect that there might be a tap on your phone, walk over to a radio or television during your next phone call. Use your phone around other electronic devices. If the indicator pops up several times per minute, your phone may very well be tapped. You can check for sounds that your ear cannot pick up by using a sound-bandwidth sensor on a low frequency.High-pitched humming is an even greater indication.Static, scratching, and popping can be caused by a capacitive discharge resulting from two conductors being connected.This is not the best of signs when taken alone, though, since echoes, static, and clicking can also be caused by random interference or a bad connection.If you are hearing fragmentary voices, they may not be in your head it’s a possibility that your phone has been tapped.

To verify the working of the DROP CONSTRAINT, let’s execute the command mentioned below: \d college The constraint “ running” in the existing table “ college” has been dropped, which can be verified through the “ ALTER TABLE” message. For instance, the statement is given below: ALTER TABLE college The “ALTER TABLE” statement is utilized with the “DROP CONSTRAINT” clause to drop the constraint. Step 3: DROP UNIQUE CONSTRAINT in PostgreSQL The output shows that the UNIQUE constraint has been added to the selected table. After table alteration, the modified table’s structure will be as follows: \d college The "ALTER TABLE" message in the output confirms that the unique constraint has been added to the table. For this purpose, the statement is as follows: ALTER TABLE collegeĪDD CONSTRAINT running UNIQUE (teach_id) For this purpose, write the “ ADD CONSTRAINT” clause with a UNIQUE constraint and specify the constraint's name, such as “ running”. In any existing table, such as “college”, a unique constraint can be added using the “ ALTER TABLE” statement. Step 2: ADD UNIQUE CONSTRAINT in PostgreSQL The “ CREATE TABLE” message verifies that the “ college” table has been successfully created. Add columns such as std_id, teach_id, sport_date, and notes in this table: CREATE TABLE college( To drop unique constraints from a table, users must follow the syntax stated below: ALTER TABLE tbl_nameĭROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE (col_name) ĪLTER TABLE is a command in Postgres used to alter/modify a table, while “ DROP CONSTRAINT” is a clause that drops the existing unique constraint from the table.įirst, create a " college " table with the “ CREATE TABLE” statement.

Step 3: DROP UNIQUE CONSTRAINT in PostgreSQL.Step 2: ADD UNIQUE CONSTRAINT in PostgreSQL.How to DROP UNIQUE CONSTRAINT in PostgreSQL?.The content that illustrates the demonstration is as follows: PostgreSQL's "DROP CONSTRAINT" clause with UNIQUE constraint is explained in this article. Using the DROP CONSTRAINT clause, users can drop any specific constraint, such as UNIQUE CONSTRAINT, FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT, CHECK CONSTRAINT, and so on. Alternatively, you can add constraints later (see below) after you've filled in the new column correctly.In PostgreSQL, the “ DROP CONSTRAINT” clause is used with the ALTER TABLE statement to drop any specific constraint from a table. Keep in mind however that the default value must satisfy the given constraints, or the ADD will fail. In fact all the options that can be applied to a column description in CREATE TABLE can be used here. You can also define constraints on the column at the same time, using the usual syntax:ĪLTER TABLE products ADD COLUMN description text CHECK (description '') To avoid a potentially lengthy update operation, particularly if you intend to fill the column with mostly nondefault values anyway, it may be preferable to add the column with no default, insert the correct values using UPDATE, and then add any desired default as described below. However, if the default value is volatile (e.g., clock_timestamp()) each row will need to be updated with the value calculated at the time ALTER TABLE is executed. ![]() Instead, the default value will be returned the next time the row is accessed, and applied when the table is rewritten, making the ALTER TABLE very fast even on large tables. From PostgreSQL 11, adding a column with a constant default value no longer means that each row of the table needs to be updated when the ALTER TABLE statement is executed. ![]() The Other Matchbox Toys 1947-2004: Models of Yesteryear, King Size, Major Pack, Skybusters, and More.

There also were a number of other Matchbox spinoffs such as Matchbox Motorways.Ĭhapman, Giles. The Matchbox brand was used to sell dolls, jigsaw puzzles, toy soldiers, and television and video game characters. At the end of the 1970s, Matchbox bought AMT and continued to market its 1:25 scale cars and trucks. Parts were produced in two or three colors. In 19, Matchbox established a plastic kit division focused on 1:72 scale aircraft and 1:76 military vehicles. Lensey also issued gold and silver-plated versions to appeal to collectors. Because of large production runs, collectors prefer items in fine or better condition. The box/packing is critical to full value. The principal diecast series are: I-75, Accessories, Adventure 2000, Battle Kings, Convoy, Dinky (after Matchbox’s purchase), King Size (later Super Size), Major Packs, Military Matchbox, Models of Yesteryear, Real Working Rigs, Sea Kings, Scorpions, Sky Busters, and Two Packs (later Hitch ‘n Haul). It was expanded again to 100 models in 2008 to 120 models in 2012 and 125 models in 2016. Mattel expanded the line to 100 models in 1999 but changed it back to 75 in 2001. By 1968, vehicles did have windows, interiors, tires, and occasionally moving parts. The I-75 line reached 75 vehicles in 1960. ![]() Hence, one vehicle can have dozens of variations. Vehicles in the I-75 series were restyled almost every year. A general rule is the earlier the vehicle, the higher the value Early 1-75 vehicles did not have windows or interiors. The 1953 Queen Elizabeth Coronation Coach was the Lesney’s first commercial success.Ī green and red roller was the first vehicle in the 1-75 series. Events that followed suggested that Mattel was slowly allowing the Matchbox line to languish. A second series I75 line sold in blister packing was launched. Matchbox was assigned to a Mattel group in El Segundo, California. In 2002, Matchbox issued a line of special edition cars to mark its 50th anniversary. Matchbox and Hot Wheels now were owned by the same company. Tyco, in turn, was purchased by Mattel in 1997. Tyco Toys bought the Matchbox brand in May 1992. Because of the high costs of production in Macau and Hong Kong, Matchbox outsourced production to China in April 1984. Production continued in England until the tooling and dies were moved to Macau. Yeh took the new company public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1986. Jack Odell also purchased some tooling and continued to market Matchbox Yesteryear-like products under the Lledo brand. Universal Toys and David Yeh bought the Matchbox brand name and some tooling and mods. Promotional vehicles also were created, a process that accelerated in the years ahead.Īt the end of the 1970s, Lesney experienced financial difficulties. Commercial vehicles were added to the Yesteryear line. In the 1970s, Lesney formed relationships with Matchbox Collectors Clubs. Other new lines included Adventure 2000, Battle Kings, Sea Kings, Sky Busters, and Two Pack series were launched in the 1970s. Rola-Matics and Streakers joined the line. Once Matchbox adapted to the challenge, Lesney prospered. Matchbox responded with its Superfast line, initially adding low friction tires to its 1969 line. Mattel’s Hot Wheels and Johnny Lightning cars challenged Matchbox for market supremacy. ![]() Associated Packs and Models of Yesteryear were introduced in 1956. Major Pack included larger-scale model cars. Vehicles included buses, cars, lorries, motorcycles, trailers, and tractors.Īdditional diecast scales were added in the 1950s and 1960s. Auto-steering became a feature on some cars in 1969. By 1968, Matchbox was the largest selling diecast car model worldwide. Moko (Moses Kohstam) was the principal distributor. The I-75 series was designed for a total of 75 models. Lacking competition and a low affordable price point, Matchbox dominated its market. Photographs and drawings of actual vehicles were used to create the scaled-down models. Eventually, vehicles made in America, Germany, and other countries joined the line. Initially, the Matchbox line focused on British vehicles. Odell designed the Matchbox vehicles because his daughter was not allowed to bring anything to school that did not fit inside a matchbox. John Odell (1920-2007), Leslie Smith (1918-2005), and Rodney Smith were responsible for the Matchbox line. Matchbox was a brand name for British die-cast vehicles produced by Lesney Products beginning in 1953. ![]() With the right edging, you can create a beautiful and cohesive outdoor space that you can enjoy for years to come. By carefully evaluating the material, style, and maintenance requirements of different edging options, you can make an informed choice that will enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of your garden. In conclusion, choosing the right garden edging can be a complex decision, as there are many different factors to consider. For example, if you choose a wood edging that requires regular sealing and painting, this may end up being more expensive in the long run than a plastic or metal edging that requires little maintenance. It is also worth considering the potential long-term costs of maintaining your garden edging. ![]() However, other materials, such as wood and stone, may require more frequent maintenance, such as sealing or repainting, to protect them from the elements. Some types of edging, such as plastic and metal, are very low maintenance and require only occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best. MaintenanceĪnother important factor to consider when choosing garden edging is the level of maintenance it will require. You can even use repurposed materials, such as old bricks or stones, to create a unique and eco-friendly edging solution. Our designs offer a modern way to frame flowerbeds, protect vegetable patches or create practical and attractive walkways. This type of edging can add a whimsical touch to your garden, and it is available in a range of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. If you prefer a more relaxed, informal style, you may want to consider curved or decorative edging. This type of edging can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and stone, and it is available in a range of colors and finishes to suit different preferences. For a formal, structured look, straight and clean-cut edging is a good choice. In addition to considering the material of your garden edging, you should also think about the overall style you want to achieve. Finally, wood edging can add a natural and organic touch to your garden, but it may rot or decay over time if not properly maintained. Stone edging is a more aesthetically pleasing option, but it can be quite heavy and difficult to install. Plastic edging is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, but it is not as durable as other materials and may not hold up well over time. Each of these materials has its own unique benefits and drawbacks, and the best choice for you will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your garden.įor example, metal edging is durable and long-lasting, but it can be expensive and may not be the most visually appealing option. Some common options include metal, plastic, stone, and wood. One of the first things to consider when choosing garden edging is the material it is made from. In this article, we will explore some of the key considerations to keep in mind when selecting garden edging, so you can make an informed decision that will enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of your garden. Choosing the right edging for your garden can be a daunting task, as there are many different options available on the market. It can also serve a practical purpose by clearly defining the boundaries of your garden and preventing grass and other plants from spreading into your carefully cultivated beds. Garden edging can add a polished, finished look to any outdoor space. You can secure the pieces together with screws driven at an angle through both pieces (drill pilot holes first), or you can bend a 90-degree corner brace to match the custom angle, and install the brace with screws.Finding the Best Garden Edging for You Introduction ![]() When you fit the angled ends together, they will make a 120-degree turn.Repeat the same process to mark and cut the mating timber so that each is cut at 60 degrees (and the two angles face opposite directions).Finally, draw a straight line through the 60-degree mark and the center mark to create an angled cutting line. For example, if the edging will turn at 120 degrees (forming an obtuse angle), mark the top of the timber at the 60-degree line on the protractor. Determine the desired angle for the completed turn, divide that angle in half, then mark the timber along the top of the protractor at the resulting angle.Mark the edge of the timber at the protractor's center mark. Place the protractor on top of the timber and align the protractor's baseline with the edge of the timber.Use a protractor to lay out angle cuts for turns in your edging that are not 90 degrees.
