The Differences Between Banquet, Bench & Booth Seating

[ad_1]

When it comes to creating the interior for a pub, bar or restaurant and any other business within the hospitality industry for that matter creating the right atmosphere and look can be make or break. Making the correct interior design choices has the power to induce strong emotions within your clientele, both positive and negative, and selecting the right seating is one part of this.

With so many options in the market place it can often be confusing when it comes to deciding what the best choice is to fulfil your business requirements. So to shed a little light on the options available we got some advice from one of the expert producers of bespoke seating within the UK. Here they informed us of the top three choices within the marketplace.

Banquet seating is a long upholstered bench that is placed against, or sometimes built into a wall. Many restaurants choose this type of seating as it allows for minimum space to be used whilst also providing a greater number of seats, a great space saving technique.

Another possibility is bench seating, very similar to banquet seating, although often smaller and with two benches facing each other split by a table in between. If you are trying to evoke the feel of a 1950’s diner this would be the perfect choice for you. Often seen in cafes this seating gives a relaxed feel making people feel at home. It is also a very social seating option and often big enough to allow six people to sit around a table easily.

Lastly, a popular choice is booth seating; this type of seating creates a private space in a public setting, perfect in bars, pubs and restaurants alike, allowing people to enjoy both the social environment whilst still enjoying their friends company in an enclosed seating environment. By incorporating a number of these options, such as banquet seating and booth seating your business will be able to offer clients a range of options, from enjoying a quieter night in a booth to being in the midst of the social atmosphere on the banquet seating.

All of these options can be specifically designed to fulfill your exact requirements, from fitting a certain space exactly right down to the fabric used to upholster them, allowing you to use them to great advantage providing a statement piece in any space.

If you’re interested in adding some bespoke seating to your business why not contact one of the specialist suppliers that are located across the UK to discuss the options.

Camping Recipes – 3 Tips on "Food Safety" to Use on Your Next Camping Trip

[ad_1]

It is extremely important to use good “Food Safety” when camping.  Use the following “Food Safety” so you and your fellow campers can have an enjoyable camping trip.

1. Plan Your Meals and Method of Cooking – Before you go on your camping trip plan the meals you would like to have and when. This will help you prepare the food for your trip. For instance, if you are planning on having steaks on your third night of camping, make sure the steaks are completely frozen before taking them in your cooler. You will also want to consider what method you will use to cook your meals. Remember, at time, the forest may be closed to campfires and charcoal grills so you will need to bring a propane stove or grill for cooking.

 

2. Keep Everything Clean – Remember to wash your hands before and after handling foods, especially raw meats. Also, make sure all cooking utensils and pans are clean prior to use. When packing your cooler, double wrap your raw meats to contain their juices and keeping your other foods safe.

 

3. Keep Hot Foods Hot, Cold Foods Cold – It is important to keep all your food that should be refrigerated cold. It is recommended to have two coolers, one for drinks and one for all your food. This will eliminate opening the food cooler too frequently and melting the ice more quickly. Also, keep your coolers in the shade and place an old blanket around them for further insulation. Remember to serve hot foods promptly, and store leftovers in an ice filled cooler.

 

So, as you can see, if you practice these “Food Safety” tips your next camping trip will be both SAFE and enjoyable.

Runtime Error 482 Windows 10 (Printer Error) – Steps To Resolve

[ad_1]

Runtime Error 482 typically shows when you attempt to print a document in Windows. The error is caused by the “Printform” component of Visual Basic.

As a rule of thumb, “runtime” errors are generally the result of problems within the “Visual Basic” library or its adjoining applications. The errors are mostly caused by either an inconsistency inside the code (referencing variables which don’t exist), or having problems referencing specific libraries.

Whether you’re actively using “Visual Basic” or not is mostly irrelevant; it’s likely the case that one of your applications is using it – hence the error.

To resolve the problem, there are a number of steps you can work through, although many people end up resorting to “workarounds” in order to prevent it from showing. The steps outlined in this tutorial should give you the ability to resolve it entirely.

Cause

The error will typically show with the following messages:

  • “Run-time error ‘482’: Printer Error”

  • “Run-time error ‘486’: Can’t print form image to this type of printer”

  • “Printer Error”

The most important thing to realize about the error is that it’s caused dby what’s known as a “library” in computing. A library is essentially a piece of code which allows a developer to access particular functionality without having to rewrite the code for it.

Libraries have been used since the earliest days of computing. With modern computers, 1,000’s of libraries can be employed at once to provide very high level functionality to a range of applications. “PrintForm” is one such library.

It’s mostly the case that your system will not have the “Printform” library installed (it’s very old), leading the error to show. It may also be the case that your printer, or its associated drivers, may be damaged.

Solution

The steps to solve the problem are as follows:

  1. Remove Any PrintForm References in VBA

    If you are seeing this error as a result of using a “Visual Basic” powered application (including VBA), you’ll want too ensure that you get rid of any references to the PrintForm component.

    The best way to do this is to replace it with the Win32 API, which is an updated version of the printing library in Visual Basic. If you do this properly, it should allow you to get printing working with your applications on the likes of Windows 10.

  2. Update Printer Drivers

    If you are not using Visual Basic / VBA, you’ll want to ensure that your printer drivers are completely up to date and correct.

    The best way to do this is to fully “uninstall” the printer from your system and let Windows Update find the correct drivers (contrary to previous versions of Windows, the latest Windows Update is actually very good & effective).

    To do this, simply press Windows+S keys on your keyboard, type “Device Manager” and select the first option that appears. When in Device Manager, select the printer that you’re having problems with, right click and click “Uninstall”.

    After uninstalling, restart your PC. It should automatically add the printer again – installing the latest drivers – if effective.

  3. Clean Out System Files With SFC

    If the above does not work, it *could* be a problem with the core system files of your computer. To fix this, you can use an in-built mechanism to resolve it (SFC // System File Checker).

    To do this, press Windows+S keys on your keyboard and type “CMD”. When the options show, right-click on the first and select “Run as Administrator”. This will bring up the black/white CMD window. Into it, type “sfc /scannow”. This will scan your system’s files and fix any damaged ones.

  4. Switch To Using Other Printer Settings

    If all of the above does not work, you’ll want to look at using a different printer. The most typical way of doing this is to switch from using the standard “Print to PDF” option to “Microsoft Print to PDF” to get it working.

Can You Truly Reduce Your Electricity Bills Without Using Solar Or Wind Power?

[ad_1]

The economic downturn over the past year or so has ensured that lots of people are seriously looking for ways and means on how to save money on their electric and energy bills. Some are struggling so badly and a percentage are in ‘fuel poverty’ that they are having to take drastic changes in their lifestyles. Most are trying to restrict their usage of water heaters, kettles, ovens, TV’s, the list goes on. They are trying everything they can to save money on electric bills and rally no-one can blame them. There is the very real danger of losing your job (I have just been made redundant again), in tandem with ever-increasing bills and stealth taxes. Many people have now come to realise that in order to get through this financial downturn, they may need to cut back on their entire lifestyle, including their domestic energy usage.

Below are just some ways you can save money on your electric bill:-

* Replace all of your normal light bulbs with energy-saving type. The price of these items has reduced and are not so prohibitive.

* If you are going out for a while, e.g. to work or a day out shopping, turn off ALL electric items – except for security lighting or alarms. This action definitely reduces the amount of electricity you will use, especially if you are out at work most of the day. A considerable saving can be made by this action alone

* Ensure your home has adequate insulation, including seals around windows and doors.

* If you shower more regularly than normal, install restricted flow shower heads – these reduce the amount of water flow but mimic the effect of a regular shower head with increased localised water pressure.

There are thousands of tips on how you can reduce your electricity usage and the above tips may can be help and if you practice them all for a whole month a good saving can be made.

* But what if you could reduce your electricity bills by at least 50%?

* Is there anything currently available that would achieve this saving month in, month out?

* What if you could fully power your home for FREE?

* What if you could get your own back on the energy companies and install something they know about but won’t tell you about?

One way to efficiently reduce your electricity usage is to install a magnetic power generator in your home which is basically a FREE energy generator. To be non-technical, it simply uses magnets and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion, running by itself indefinitely without stopping. This creates FREE electrical energy, which can fully power your home for FREE and it doesn’t need further energy to power it.

The main benefits are that you can generate completely FREE ELECTRICAL ENERGY – it works in every home, requires a small amount of space and you can reduce your electricity bill by half or even totally. There again, is there a heavy investment for something like this? It takes LESS than $100 to implement.

This is FACT, and many people are implementing a system like this NOW to say NO to yet another extortionate raise in electricity prices before another ‘freezing’ winter.

Albert Einstein Vs Isaac Newton

[ad_1]

The name Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton are bywords of many people all through the walks of life. They are considered two of the greatest scientists of all time.

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879- April 15, 1955) was a German physicist. His contributions to Physics started in 1905 that includes: the explanation of the Brownian motion in terms of Molecules, the explanation of photoelectric effect in terms of quantum in which he received a Nobel Prize and the Special Theory of Relativity that has become a major tool of Modern Physics. He also developed General Relativity Theory that was more accurate than of Newton’s.

Albert Einstein’s equation E=mc² (Energy = mass times the speed of light squared) paved the way for the creation of the first atomic bomb. Though he condemned the use of it, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the plan for an all out effort in atomic bomb. By the first week of August in 1945, the two bombs “The Little Boy” (Hiroshima Bomb) and “The Fat Man” (Nagasaki Bomb were already dropped, making a history. Einstein regretted what his invention has caused. He was considered one of the fathers of atomic bomb.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, alchemist and natural philosopher. He was considered to be the greatest genius the world has ever known. His works in optics, gravitation and motion, corpuscular theory of light represents the greatest achievement of the time.

In his written study entitled Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica that was published in 1687, he described the three laws of motion and the universal gravitation. The discovery of Johannes Kepler of the three fundamental laws of planetary motion, which described the Copernican Theory, was only understood when Isaac Newton discovered the Laws of Gravitation and motion. He also described the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum.

Newton invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of color based on his observation that a prism decomposes with light into a visible spectrum. He formulated a law of cooling and studied speed of sound. This great scientist also demonstrated the Generalized Binomial Theorem, which developed the “Newton Method”. He also shared credits in the development of the calculus with Gottfried von Leibniz.

Sir Isaac Newton also devised a numerical equation to verify his ideas about gravity. He called it inverse square law of attraction, which states that the force of gravity is related to the inverse square of the distance between the two objects

The year 1666 was the peak of Newton’s achievements. He has this crucial experiment that became his most famous experiment, the experimentum crucis. This demonstrated the theory of the composition of light. This explains that a selected color leaving the first prism could not be separated by the second prism. He then had a conclusion made that white light is a Heterogeneous mixture of differently refrangible rays and that colors of the spectrum cannot individually be modified by themselves, but are original and connate properties. Newton has failed in his dynamics experiments in three periods of time; first during plague in 1664-1666, the investigations of 1679-1680, and the period 1684-1687. His masterpieces were written in three different books. He also pursued some other researches in alchemy and science. However, his nonscientific writings were being neglect by some historians.

Before his death Newton had refused the sacrament. It was believed that the reason of this gesture was because he was a Unitarian.

Qualities of a Good Wine Cellar

[ad_1]

A wine cellar is a storage area for wine in barrels or bottles and is normally built underground. It is a necessity in a quality wine cellar to provide a favorable environment to ensure that the wines kept there remain in a fresh state even after many years cellaring. This means that the temperature and humidity of the cellar have to be regulated at levels that will allow the wines to age slowly and develop complexity.

If a cellar is built above the ground, it could better be described as a wine room and if it contains less than 500 bottles and is above ground, it could be identified as a wine closet. The main purpose of building a wine cellar is to protect the wine from environmental factors that will compromise the quality of the wine. Factors such as light, high temperature or low humidity will all affect the wine in an adverse way. Wine is a living thing that must be protected from fluctuating temperatures, heat and light as well as vibrations. With proper storage, wine not only maintains its freshness but also improves the quality of its aroma, complexity and flavor.

Therefore, a quality cellar should not only maintain the vibrancy of the wine but also improve it. The right temperature in a cellar should range from 13 to 18 degrees C and it should be free from vibration. If the temperatures change from season to season, it should vary by less than 10 degrees C. For centuries, the French have stored their wines in underground caves at these temperatures and that is how people gauge the level of temperature for wine storage. To ensure that the final product has qualities of a well matured wine, the temperatures should not be higher than 18 degrees C as the wine will mature too fast. Wines that mature too fast will often taste more like vinegar and not have the refined and delightful flavor of a fine wine.

Active or passive describe the cooling system used in the wine cellar. A wine cellar with an active cooling system requires insulation and a vapor barrier installed. A special wine cooling unit is then installed in the wall to ensure that the temperature and humidity are maintained at the correct levels. Many above ground cellars will require a cooling unit to maintain a constant temperature. Geographic areas that are naturally very cool are often suitable for a passively cooled wine cellar. Most underground cellars are passively cooled and frequently a well-constructed and well-insulated basement cellar can be passively cooled. A passive wine cellar requires no energy to operate. They are therefore cheaper to build and run albeit sometime unreliable in extreme weather.

Add Value And Space To Your Home With A Loft Conversion

[ad_1]

The Conversion Process

A loft conversion involves turning a large attic space into a finished room. The first step in the conversion process involves determining if the size of your attic is suitable for a conversion. There should be ample room for an adult to stand upright in the space. Typically, clearance of about eight or nine feet is recommended. Access to the attic should also be considered. Will the attic be accessed by a loft ladder feature, or is there room for a staircase to be built into the design? Some homeowners will attempt the conversion process on their own. However, the process involves installing drywall, air ducts for heating and cooling, lighting, flooring and electrical outlets. A contractor may be utilized to convert the space with greater ease.

Adding Function

An attic conversion is generally used to add space to a home, and this can be considered as a more affordable option than a new addition or home expansion may be. This is because a loft conversion only requires you to finish out a shell space rather than to construct new space. There is no need to pay for exterior building materials, a roof and other costly materials and associated labour costs. Ultimately, this space can be used for any number of purposes. Commonly, a loft conversion is used as an extra bedroom, a game room, a home office, a home gym or other similar purposes. This is a great way to add function to a home without paying for the full expense of a new addition to the home.

The Value of Finished Square Footage

Many who are considering a loft conversion are interested in learning more about how this project may affect the value of their home. The value of a home is determined by a number of factors, and one of these factors involves the finished square footage in a home. Consider, for example, if your home has a value of $150 per square foot before the loft conversion. If the loft conversion added 200 square feet of finished space to your home, you could realistically expect the value of your home to increase by approximately $30,000. The quality of the finish-out, however, is a critical component to the value increase you enjoy. Shoddy drywall installation, lower quality light fixtures, a room that has a low-hanging ceiling that is difficult to stand in and more can all decrease the added value from a conversion. To more accurately determine how a loft conversion may affect your home’s value, you can order a property appraisal or ask for assistance from a real estate agent.

If you have a rather large attic space in your home, a loft conversion is a feasible way to create added value and functional space in your home. As a first step, spend time in your attic today measuring the length, width and height of the space available. This can help you to determine if a loft conversion is worth further exploration.

Air Conditioning Systems For New Construction

[ad_1]

For companies planning new construction projects to house their businesses, the necessity of planning everything down to the exact detail will determine how well or how poorly productivity progresses. Whether you are building offices for clerical or storage use, or are building a place for a restaurant or other food service work, the contractor you hire should take into consideration the proper ventilation of the workspace.

You may be advised, too, to bring on a contractor that deals exclusively with commercial HVAC services, if your builders do not have such a person on hand, or else do not sub-contract that work. Commercial HVAC – or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, is important if you wish to maintain a clean, healthy environment for your employees. As you plan your new construction project, here are a few things you will want to consider:

1) Size. How large is your building? One floor, or several? Will your work area be spread out or situated on so many square feet? The size of your work space will determine the size and power of the HVAC units that will heat and cool the buildings.

2) Usable Work Space. Depending on the scope of your business, not every square inch will be occupied by manpower. Offices where your employees will work, of course, should be temperature controlled, as should areas that will house sensitive equipment (foodstuffs, computers, etc.). Therefore, your HVAC system will be installed accordingly so that the most important areas are affected.

3) Location. Where is your office located? Businesses in the deep South will have different construction concerns than those in New England or the Pacific Northwest. Where your office is located will determine whether or not your HVAC system should be geared to heat or cool more.

4) Budget. How much money do you have to use toward constructing your office or warehouse? Though it’s important to have a good HVAC system that will work for a long time, you want to operate within your budget and choose units that won’t require too much maintenance. Consult with your contractor for the best solution.

Air quality is one of the most essential components in a healthy office and commercial environment. Keep your offices and work spaces at comfortable temperatures with clean air, and you will find your business functions at optimal levels. For a new construction, this is especially crucial as you plan to start work as soon as possible. Research the best commercial HVAC company to do the job.

Quick Tips For Healthy Eating

[ad_1]

One Step at a Time

If you are just starting to change into a healthier lifestyle, then do it slowly. Your body has been accustomed to old ways and if you change drastically, it is likely that you will also give up easily.

Eat At Home

Whenever you eat out, you do not have any control on the portions that you will have. You might end up eating more than you need to.

Stop Counting the Calories

Do not be obsessed about that. Instead, look at food in terms of color and freshness. Greens are always good. Colorful fruits are also great for a person’s body. These are the food that your body needs more of. So do not feel afraid to eat more of these.

Do Not Skip Meals

If your goal is to lose weight, then it is much better to eat small portions of food 5- 6 times a day. Skipping meals will only retain the fat in your body and may result in overeating.

Snack Healthy

When you’re feeling hungry, instead of reaching out for the cupcake, grab that carrot stick instead. Some good examples of food to snack on are fruits, nuts, raisins, cranberries, whole grain crackers, etc.

Enjoy Your Meal

Do not rush the eating process. Take your time and chew your food slowly. When you’re already feeling full, then stop eating. Listen to what your body tells you.

Fill that Plate Up With the Right Kind of Stuff

What a person eats greatly affects their weight loss or weight gain. This is why dietitians encourage people to go for quality over quantity. A good example is you might have eaten only crackers for lunch today but also had a huge jug of sweetened drinks. Then that sweetened drink is the culprit when it comes to your weight gain.

If you had a large bowl of fresh salad and water, then that would have been considered a better meal on a diet than the crackers with a sweetened drink. It is much better for the body to take foods that are less in carbohydrates. Taking away bread, pasta, rice or potatoes and replacing it with vegetables will definitely help cut back on fat.

If you are the type of person who will feel full only if you see large portions of food on your plate, then the solution is to fill your plate with the right kind of food. Think colourful fruits and vegetables. Deep colours means higher content of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. All of these is what your body needs every day.

Remember To Drink a Lot of Water

Sometimes people confuse thirst with hunger and eat when all they needed was just a glass of water. Drinking water is also good for cleansing the body from toxins and helps in having better digestion.

Along with these tips, you should always remember to have not just good eating habits but also a healthy lifestyle. This means making an effort to exercise regularly. If you are a smoker, then consider quitting and lastly, drink alcoholic beverages moderately.
