A coffee table can bring an aura of class and beauty into your living room. When creating your interior décor, a coffee table is one piece of furniture that can help you complete that elegant look that you desire in your living room. They come in many designs and colors, and you can also custom make your own to fit into your space. A mid-century modern coffee table is particularly one which you can use to make your room aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The tables range in a variety of designs allowing you to play around with your available space. Here are some of the cool ideas of how you can use such tables. 1. Having Coffee Having coffee is the primary use of these tables. With the table strategically placed next to your couch, you can use it to place kettles and coffee mugs and enjoy a warm glass of the same while relaxed on your sofa. You should always ensure that your table is the right height relative to your sofa. The table should be a little bit low, but too low to enable you to place your mug comfortably. 2. Placing Decorative Vases While your coffee table is in itself a decorative piece, you can add on to its beauty and the general outlook of your room if you place flower vases and other decorative items on it. Always ensure that the table is not cluttered and that you allow enough space for mugs and kettles. Depending on the shape and design of your coffee table, you can either place these vases at the edge or right in the middle of the table. Most people go with the latter option where you place a decorated bottle with artificial flowers in the middle of the table. 3. Books and Magazine Storage While you might have a shelf to place your books and magazines, coffee tables give you more space for this purpose. Of course, you do not keep all your books in the table’s storage compartment, but only those you are reading or the magazines you would want your guests to access. The idea is to have a place you can quickly retrieve your book from when you want to relax and read instead of having to go to your shelf often. 4. Resting Your Legs You can use your coffee table for resting your legs while relaxing on your couch. When you come home tired and just want to relax and catch up on a book or watch your favorite television sitcom, you can sit with your legs outstretched on your table, and enjoy. Just make sure the table is free of other items and is strong enough. 5. Placing Snacks There are those times that you just want to snack up as you enjoy your movie in the living room. You do not have to hold on to a bowl of snacks that you might even spill accidentally. A coffee table is an ideal place to place such snacks or even a vase full of fruits.
Glasgow-based housing association the Wheatley Group has been named the UK’s largest builder of social-rented homes. In a newly-released annual new build survey by Inside Housing Magazine, the organisation came first for the fourth consecutive year. The housing, care and property-management group built 601 homes for social rent between April 2019, and March this year. It built a total of 802 affordable homes in this period, including 197 mid-market houses and flats, taking the number of new affordable homes completed in the past five years to 3,578. Wheatley’s ambitious new-build programme has been funded by over £1 billion of private and public investment raised over the past six years. Alistair MacNish, group chairman, said: “We view the title of ‘the UK’s largest builder of social-rented homes’ as a badge of honour. To retain the title for four years in a row is proof of our total commitment to Scottish Government’s More Homes Scotland agenda. It is testimony also to our ongoing commitment to build fuel-efficient, attractive homes across some of Scotland’s most disadvantaged areas. We are proud our award-winning homes match what the private sector has to offer.” Work is underway or about to start on 30 Wheatley sites across Scotland, from West Dunbartonshire and Glasgow to West Lothian and Edinburgh and from Dumfries to Stranraer under plans to build 5500 affordable homes between now and 2026. Martin Armstrong, Wheatley chief executive, added: “Our quality, energy-efficient homes are changing people’s lives and transforming communities within an ambitious house-building programme that is making a significant contribution to the Scottish economy. As everyone knows, there is ongoing acute need for affordable homes and we are doing our bit and more to tackle this. “The arrival earlier this year of Dumfries and Galloway Housing Partnership – Scotland’s second largest housing association – into the Wheatley family has enabled us to extend our extensive house-building programme across the south of Scotland. “Now that house building has resumed in Dumfries and Galloway and our sites across the central belt, we are keen to make up for the lost ground caused by the coronavirus crisis.”
West Yorkshire based developer and commercial property company Onward Holdings Ltd has sold its newly completed 66,000sq ft speculative warehouse in Featherstone (branded Phoenix 66) to a confidential party. The new owner has now taken delivery of the keys to the high bay state-of-the-art logistics facility situated on the Green Lane Industrial Estate in Featherstone off Junction 31 of the M62, which will be the maintenance hub for its fleet of HGV vehicles. Acquiring the warehouse will allow the new owner to relocate and upgrade its operations from its existing long-standing operational site located near the centre of Wakefield. This detached unit extends to around 66,923sq ft, including first floor offices and allows the occupier the flexibility to extend into a further 3,207sq ft of additional second floor accommodation in due course. Other vital statistics include: generous concrete service yard, 13.1m eaves height, floor loading of 50 kNm2, six loading doors (including 4 docks), PV roof panels and electric car charging. Phoenix 66, a ‘best in class’ warehouse facility, forms part of the significant investment by Onward Holdings in the Green Lane Industrial Estate over the past few years, bringing a much-needed jobs boost and business to the local area. Neil Storey, director of Onward Holdings, said: “We are thrilled to have helped the occupier find the right property for its operational needs. Phoenix 66 is a quality unit in a prime location that offers excellent facilities and transport links. We are looking to acquire other sites that will help address the current shortage of quality logistics facilities in the region.” Iain McPhail, Partner at Knight Frank and Andrew Miller of Andrew Miller Chartered Surveyors advised Onward Holdings. Iain commented: “We are proud to have been involved as part of the team on this exciting project from start to finish. It just shows the importance of getting the specification right on a new build unit and Phoenix 66 delivered a truly institutional opportunity to the market. We are also encouraged that the Yorkshire industrial and logistics market continues to perform, even during these unprecedented times.” Onward Holdings offers a range of logistics options to suit most budgets, together with additional value-added warehouse services. The different facilities that the company can supply will help businesses gain a vital foothold in the northern supply chain.

IWFM welcomes the draft Building Safety Bill and hopes this development will provide some comfort to those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. We believe the new statutory role of Building Safety Manager (BSM) is key to avoiding any repeat of such a tragedy and we are pleased to continue to help with developing the competence framework for the role. The importance of the BSM in ensuring the safety of buildings and the people occupying them cannot be understated. Where previously there often was a lack of both clarity on who was responsible for building safety and competence to ensure that safety, a BSM with oversight should ensure that all of the updated safety requirements are met, residents have a clear point of contact, and lives are protected. We urge facilities managers to engage with the Bill and provide feedback to us via: policy@iwfm.org.uk. Professionals in FM will be at the front-line of this Bill’s implementation, being those most likely to be assigned or hired to the BSM role; it is therefore critical that our profession is knowledgeable of the contents and its implications for the future of building and people safety. We must never face a repeat of that tragic night and, while there is still work to do, we are much closer to that goal with this draft Bill. Further information: The BSM can be an individual or organisation whose principal role is to support the Accountable Person in the day-to-day management of fire and structural safety in the building. In either circumstance, the individual or a nominated individual must have the competence (or skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours) to carry out the statutory functions. The skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours are not detailed in the draft Building Safety Bill, which is a high level Bill; instead, the detail of the competences will be outlined in future statutory guidance and a Publicly Available Specification.

If you are planning to invest in something useful, then you should not miss out on a pixel controller. The pixel controller takes data from computer and converts it into a format that can get used by pixels. The format comprises of different protocols that uses three or four wires for communicating with the pixels. Now, choosing the best pixel controller can be difficult. The reason is most of us lack technical insight in this regard. We will make your struggle easy and guide you how to choose the best controller. Picking the best pixel controller You need to match your controller with your pixel type. When we talk about popular pixels then WS813, WS812 and WS811 tops the list. Most controllers tend to function with these pixels without a problem. If you plan to go for a small display, then a 4-port pixel controller will offer you value. However, when you plan to do a big display with different receivers, then you need to choose long-range controllers. Using Pixel controllers The good news is that you can set the maximum intensity level for each string of pixels. You can easily go for a fancy configuration and assign the data to the exact lights. However, keep one thing in mind. Most of the Pixel Controllers have multiple ports. The best part is that you will be able to drive multiple pixel strings from the specific pixel controller. Every pixel string tends to have a maximum pixel count. When you buy the pixel controller, then remember that it will govern your lights. Now, handling the capability of a pixel controller can be a tricky part. The truth is that when you use the full capability of your pixel controller, then it can help you save up on your money. Types of Pixel Controllers There are different varieties of pixel controllers available in the market so you need to understand what you require. For example, you may come across an led pixel controller. Talking about the Standard Pixel Controllers The simplest type of Pixel Controllers that exist today are the Standard Pixel Controllers. They tend to take the data from your computer. The data gets acquired through a network cable. The controller converts the data to the pixel outputs. The Standard Pixel Controllers tend to have 1 to 16 ports. Each port is capable of controlling 170 to 1000 pixels. Opting in for Long-Range Pixel Controllers When we talk about easy to work controllers, then you will prefer the Long-Range Pixel Controllers. The Long-Range Controllers are capable of splitting a conventional controller into half. The processing gets done on a centralized board. Well, the receivers can get placed next to the props. The benefit of this practice is that the pixels can plug-in without a problem. There are times when the receivers get placed hundreds of feet away from the central board. Remember these essentials when choosing your pixel controller. You will be happy with your pick at the end of the day.
