![]() ![]() The only problem back in the 20th century is that Farrow & Ball paint was not accessible except through a showroom in the D & D building. However, over the years, I have been intrigued by the English Company Farrow & Ball.Ībove is my photo of the Farrow and Ball store in Cambridge, UK, taken while I was on that incredible tour of English classical architecture in the fall of 2017. I was happy with the paint, but that was back in the days of stinky non-low VOC paints, as well as oil-based paints for semi and high gloss trim colors. In 1996, when I first began my business and painted our townhouse, we went with Pratt & Lambert. When I lived in northern Westchester between 1991-2012, I was within an easy drive to two locations that sold P & L. However, compared to Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, and others, they are a lesser-known brand is my impression. I did look them up, and they are alive and kicking. Although, I still think they have a spectacular line of paint. I’m not sure what happened to P & L because it seems that they have fallen off the radar. They’re a little antiquated in terms of their marketing, but that’s okay.Īnother company I love is Pratt and Lambert. Plus, I think it’s an excellent brand of paint. It’s the largest brand in the US and highly accessible for most of us. I think it’s an excellent product, and I have also specified it more than any other paint brand. It may seem like navy has been having a 'moment' for a while now, but it's become the go-to choice in many homes for those wanting to create a bold, dramatic and timeless look.Over the years, I’ve focused on one paint brand more than any other, by far, and that is Benjamin Moore. Better still, you can add Hague Blue on kitchen units or just on an island with Purbeck Stone units to create a nostalgic look. So where in the home is best to use this colour? Ammonite will work great in kitchens or rooms that you use during daylight hours, and it can be taken over the wall, ceilings, and woodwork for a chic but minimal feel, explains Joa. It has a gossamer appearance so is perfect for those who prefer understated decoration which does not challenge us but provides versatility.' 'Ammonite is part of a group of greys that are so relaxed and easy to live with you barley notice they are there. ![]() ' Ammonite is one of our most popular greys and for good reason as it works in virtually any light conditions, becoming a little silverer at the end of the day in east-facing rooms but generally retaining a slight warmth,' says Joa. The love for versatile grey shows no signs of waning and it's become a firm favourite across homes in the UK.įarrow & Ball's 2021 paint colour trends revealed ![]() The change from light to dark follows the natural rhythm of the day and will enhance our sleeping.' 'Ammonite and Hague Blue are the perfect pairings to create spaces that feel radically different, giving you more structure to your day and a greater sense of wellbeing. 'As we adapt to the idea of spending more time at home, most of us prefer to be in lighter rooms during the day and darker spaces in the evening, subconsciously working with the natural light,' Joa tells House Beautiful UK. Here we speak to Joa Studholme, Farrow & Ball's Colour Curator, about how to decorate with Ammonite and Hague Blue – and how we can use these timeless colours together in our living spaces. In fact, Hague Blue was recently crowned the UK's most popular paint colour for the kitchen, living room and bedroom. There's a reason why these two colours keep topping any and every ranking for interior colours in the home. With a subtle grey tone, Ammonite is named after the treasured fossils often found on the Dorset coast, while the deep and dramatic Hague Blue takes its name from the coloured woodwork much used by the Dutch. Ammonite and Hague Blue are among Farrow & Ball's most popular paint colours*, so what exactly is the best way to decorate with this understated grey and deep blue hue in the home? ![]()

Luscious egg custard gushes from the golden egg yolk lava buns. Pristine beef tripe, lightly curried squid, red beans and lotus seed also appear in various guises. The buns and dumplings feature fillings such as imitation shark fin, pork, shrimp, beef, daikon or taro root. The skinny: Yes, Dim Sum Oriental Cuisine has a conventional menu with fried rice and various noodle dishes, but you're really there for the steamed or pan-fried dim sum of its name. It's a welcome addition to a dish that's both satisfying, straightforward and seductive - even if it's not served from a cart.Ģ313 NW Military Highway, Suite 125 | (210) 340-0690 | dim-sum-oriental-cuisine-com.ez.megapaper.ir ![]() With chicken as the main meat component, they're tossed with onion, scallion and sprouts, and the stir-frying process yields a slight smoky char that's sometimes called "the breath of the wok." Ho fan are short, wide rice noodles that readily absorb soy-based sauces. Even so, the dish offered a nice balance to a meal of small plates. The chicken or beef stir fried with ho fan proved almost pedestrian in contrast. Pierce the dome of the bun with a chopstick, and out oozes the golden "lava," a salty-sweet and unctuously lush egg custard. In contrast to the previous envelopes, these featured a slightly sweet wheat wrapper, one that Dim Sum also tints a golden color. Steamed golden egg yolk lava buns are on-point as far as poetic descriptions go. The combination - served with a diluted, sweetened soy on the side - is perfect in a minimalist sort of way. Otherwise, the menu says it all: the only other ingredient is smoky, chopped barbecue pork. The item is really more like a diminutive burrito in a silken, rice-sheet wrapper. Speaking of wrappers, the menu description of steamed barbecue pork in rice noodles didn't do it justice. Feel free to enhance the bland rice with whatever condiment you prefer. The rice inside is sticky indeed, and the saucy ground chicken serves as a tiny jewel at its heart. Partly because the leaf adds a faintly aromatic flavor to the dish, and partly because unbundling the loosely bound packet is half the fun. ![]() In the case of the steamed chicken sticky rice in lotus leaf wrapper, the wrapper almost proves more important than what's inside the package. The combination of textures and techniques elevates this bite beyond the sum of its otherwise simple parts. It's topped, not stuffed, by what might best be called a fried shrimp fritter. The slice of eggplant itself is either steamed or simply braised, and the resulting texture is soft and yielding. No wrapper is employed in the preparation of the pan-fried, shrimp-stuffed eggplant, for which a little interpretation is required. Chopped shrimp mixed with corn kernels provides the stuffing for a pan-fried version of the steamed dumplings - worth a try for the textural difference alone. Just a streak of soy sauce is appropriate here. ![]() ![]() The steamed pork dumpling, fully enclosed in a velvety envelope of a different kind, is also pure in its flavor. It's an artful package, and a dot of chili serves as both a flavor and visual accent. Steamed shrimp and pork shao mai is a dim sum classic, its tender filling revealed like the center of a flower surrounded by a petal-pleated wrapper. The diamond-scored squid also has a bit of a bite, but its flavor is inherently more assertive, the curry coming across as both subtle and sharp at the same time. Try it just as it is before automatically adding soy sauce or the restaurant's red chili condiment. Like many items on the menu, the flavor is direct and delicate, modulated only by faintly aromatic slivered scallion. The feathery white tripe has an unexpected, but not unpleasant, crunch. Here's a little help in that direction, starting with a couple of items you might not think to order: steamed beef tripe and steamed curry squid. You indicate your choices on a plastic menu with a marker, and they come out in whatever order suits the kitchen. The dining room's almost total lack of decor doesn't help in restoring romance to the occasion, either. Sadly, COVID-19 put an end to that in many places - including at San Antonio's Dim Sum Oriental Cuisine, a Northwest Military Drive restaurant known for genuine Chinese specialties such as chicken feet and beef tripe. Dim Sum Oriental Cuisine's plain decor puts all the focus on the food.įor many, an "authentic" experience of eating Chinese food dim sum style involves dining in a room of carts bearing tantalizing bites in bamboo steamers or presented on pristine porcelain plates. ![]() ![]() ![]() The FF I and II Pixel Remasters were essentially terrific sound upgrades and could have hardly stuck much closer to existing arrangements. ![]() Combine that with richer source material, and it’s probably no surprise that this score emerges as the most ambitious of the three NES Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters – the one that dares to stray the farthest from the original. That means that the Pixel Remaster version of the Final Fantasy III soundtrack doesn’t have a set template to work with in the same way as FF I and II. Notably, none of the soundtrack arrangements for the game’s Nintendo DS, mobile phone or PSP ports could hope to match the creativity of the Final Fantasy I and II PS1 ports – which would form the basis of all future arrangements of those works, including the Pixel Remaster releases. One of the reasons might be that Final Fantasy III saw relatively few ports to other platforms – which also meant fewer opportunities to arrange the score for more powerful sound chips. Of course, just like the game itself, Uematsu’s score remained relatively little-known, compared to other Final Fantasy soundtracks. It’s all the more astonishing then that the Pixel Remaster port is the first time Western audiences got to enjoy FF III in its original 2d version.Įqually, the Final Fantasy III soundtrack ranks as Nobuo Uematsu’s best chiptune score – far larger in scale than its franchise predecessors and showcasing Uematsu’s assured handling of the NES’ sound capacities. Combine that with a vast world to explore, and the game easily stands as the series’ greatest 8-bit instalment. To be more precise, FF III introduced a richer job system that gave the gameplay an immense amount of depth. And just like Final Fantasy had been a refinement of concepts introduced by Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy III took after the monstrously successful third instalment of its fiercest competitor franchise. ![]() For Final Fantasy III then, Square handed the reins back to series founder Hironobu Sakaguchi. Unfortunately, FF II‘s gameplay innovations were poorly executed, while the game’s narrative turned into an endless series of fetch quests. To its credit, Final Fantasy II was a daring departure from its predecessor’s best-selling formula.

Heating and cooling systems are expected to grow their energy efficiency, although nowadays heat pumps have already an efficiency factor of at least four, while heat produced with solar thermal provides carbon-free supply to nearly 3 billion people. In the faster transition scenario proposed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), near-zero-energy construction and deep-energy retrofitting will cut energy needs by 30% by 2050, even though the global floor area will double. By 2030, the net-zero target in operations for all new or refurbished buildings and a reduction of at least 40% of the embodied carbon must be achieved, while by 2050 all buildings will have to meet the net-zero-carbon target over the entire life cycle. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) set two targets for carbon reduction in buildings. To face climate change and environmental mitigation, the design of existing and future buildings is crucial to achieve building energy efficiency and neutrality. Designers, developers, governments, users and other stakeholders have started to ask for more energy-efficient buildings, leading to a series of efficiency targets and definitions, like nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs) and zero energy buildings (ZEBs), and carbon-efficient buildings such as net zero carbon buildings (NZCBs), ready to satisfy the decarbonization process. Instead of taking care of and protecting people, it could thus appear that buildings could involuntarily become dangerous if a different path in construction technology is not followed. Moreover, buildings have a crucial role in carbon emissions, accounting for 38% of global emissions. Due to the huge quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the consequent increase in temperature is causing unusual meteorological phenomena, i.e., rising sea levels and a growing number of hot days without precedent in history. In fact, during the current century, global warming and climate changes are the most relevant threats to mankind. The role of buildings has not changed during the millennia: their primitive purpose of shelter is still fundamental, although economical, technical and societal progress allowed an evolution that dramatically changed design principles, tectonics (architectural syntax study), comfort quality and environmental impact. The aim of this narrative review is to determine and describe which is the current state of the art for NZCB definition, the drivers and barriers toward its application in a broader context and which strategies are eligible to meet the ambitious goal of zero operational and zero embodied carbon emissions. Circular economy principles are strictly connected to design for disassembly and for adaptability to reduce embodied carbon, while passive design and solar and geothermal energy production can satisfy the renewable energy demand of the building. NZCBs can be met by a four-steps program: embodied carbon reduction, operational carbon reduction, increase in renewable energy supply and offset and carbon storage. In addition, legislative, socio-cultural, technological, professional and geographical barriers hold back its diffusion. Commercial viability remains a fundamental economic driver, but the higher initial capital costs hinder the NZCBs. Moreover, adopting the European Standard EN 15978:2011, carbon emissions can be precisely classified to enhance strategies aimed at reducing them. Particularly, NZCBs completely target zero operational and embodied carbon during their life cycles, fulfilling the leadership role in the decarbonization of the construction sector. The main strategies are today represented by nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs), zero energy buildings (ZEBs)/net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) and net zero carbon buildings (NZCBs). ![]() To date, the building sector is responsible for 38% of all carbon emissions, thus one of the main targets is represented by the development of building strategies that can facilitate the transition toward carbon-neutral buildings. ![]() The increase in global surface temperatures will surpass the 2 ☌ target set by the Paris Agreement unless carbon emissions are lowered to zero by 2050. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is a link to a video from animal jam wiki-Īnd one more thing- here are his new accounts user's(found from the animal jam city. ![]() P.s- Some of his new accounts go by the name on their tag- new jammer(their tag says AWESOME SUNNY BRAVE!)
