How to cut a trim at 45 degrees
Trim on the door: the easiest way to make a 45° cut even without experience
Often during repairs, you may encounter a situation where it is necessary to saw off a piece from the part, at an angle of strictly 45 degrees. Usually, it is needed to connect two parts at right angles, 90 degrees, such as: door trim, baseboard, furniture and more. An experienced craftsman, professionally engaged in repair work, can often do without special devices, and practically by eye is able to evenly and clearly cut the necessary part. But if you are a novice repairman, and you have a desire to do the job as efficiently as possible, without damaging expensive parts, then you just need to buy a plier. a special device that allows without any tricks to saw off the material at a given angle.
To work you need to have: a plane, a hacksaw, a protractor with a pencil, a piece of wood, an electric screwdriver with screws or a screw clamp.
How to make a proper butt joint
If after gluing a part of the baguette remained some distance to the corner, you need to think about how not to make a mistake. a small margin will not hurt. At the beginning it is better to cut a piece with a good margin of about 10-15 cm. Then, having cut off a corner by any convenient method, make its fitting on a dry surface. To do this, place the bar to the ceiling and mark the point where the boundary of the shortening will pass. Trim it at a right angle.
Equally important is the correct joining of corners. Ready skirting boards are usually fixed at an angle somewhat less than 45 degrees, so there may be inconsistencies trimmed edges and the appearance of gaps. Here, the initial trimming of the corners is followed by a dry, as accurate as possible, joining of the skirting boards already on the ceiling itself. Problems usually arise with wood and plastic materials.
After completing the rough joints of the boards, they should be glued or screwed, and then, if necessary, use putty and then. seal all the existing joints.
Ways to cut a trim under 45 degrees without using a jig saw
The easiest way is to use an ordinary protractor, which is in every home, where there is a school-age child. With its help, it is not so difficult to make a marking.
Important: The sawing itself is also important. To avoid the formation of gaps, it is recommended to use a hacksaw not for wood, but for metal. Yes, this method requires more time, but for that the cut will be much more accurate and even.
When the markings using a protractor have been made, it is necessary to position the trim on a horizontal surface so that the front side is at the top. It is recommended to make a cut on the whole plane of the casing.
If there are no clerical devices nearby, you can use an ordinary tile, with which you can draw a 90-degree angle. Dividing it into two halves, we get a template for the 45-degree angle, which can be used for marking instead of the ruler.
If there is a ruler, the task becomes several times easier. You just need to take a sheet of A4 and draw a square, and then draw the bisectors of the angles. To make it more convenient, you can take a small plank and attach it to one of the corners, which will fix the construction. And then you need to attach the platband and start sawing.
How to Make a Jigsaw at Home?
If the above methods do not appeal to you. you can make a squeegee at home yourself. The ruler is a U-shaped device, reminding of a tray.
It is equipped with saw slots, designed to cut the material at a certain angle. The size of the parts is not very important, but the wider our home-made device is, the wider and more accurate we can saw wide bars.
Important: You have to do everything wisely, you should not overdo it either, because if the width of the saw is more than half the width of the hacksaw, it will be awkward to cut.
You can make a mark using the methods described above, and then use small pieces of plywood and a hacksaw. And in order to fix everything, you can use self-tapping screws or even super glue. However, all this is more complicated and will take much more time, though it will provide the most accurate result (of course, if you do it right).
Undoubtedly, the jigsaw is a handy and practical tool. It is sold in almost any construction store and has a low price that absolutely everyone can afford.
However, if for some reason it is impossible to get the tool as soon as possible. you can use improvised tools, such as a ruler, protractor, or even tiles, which can easily create a template with the desired layout or even recreate a jig at home.
Sometimes you need to trim an item or a product at a certain angle. As a rule, you need to trim baguettes, fillets, platbands, baseboards and other similar interior elements at an angle of 45 degrees. Anyone can do it. The main thing is not to hurry, not to be nervous, and everything will turn out.
Buy ready-made corner elements
Of course, the easiest thing is not to bother with trimming a particular part, and buy ready-made, not in need of processing and trimming. These parts and elements are now sold everywhere in large supermarkets or smaller stores.
For example, with regard to baguettes or fillets, there are special corner elements that fit perfectly into the corner and do not need to be trimmed. They just need to be glued in place and pressed down well.
To properly and accurately carry out this procedure, you will need:
- Chisel. You don’t know how to cut platband at an angle of 45 degrees. with it. It helps to cut the piece at the right angle. It can be made of wood, plastic or metal. Looks like a box.
- Hacksaw. For metal, plastic will do for metal hacksaw, for wood. only wood. It must be properly sharpened, so that the cut is even.
- Nails/liquid nails.
If you can not use a jig, you can do with improvised materials: pencil, ruler, cardboard, a hacksaw.
How to cut the trim yourself without the help of a chisel
How to cut a door trim without using special equipment is a question that worries many beginners in the construction business. It is more difficult to do, but it is possible if you follow the instructions carefully:
- Take a sheet of cardboard, draw an even square, draw the diagonals, bring the lines of the sides of the square to the end of the sides of the sheet. It is an improvised ceiling, suitable for filing a right angle.
- Hold the platband against the bottom line of the square and saw where one of the diagonals crosses the platband. This is the lower border.
- Put another to the left side of the square, saw at the point of contact of the same diagonal.
- Do point 2 and 3 for the upper and right hand door trim.
Interior door trim installation: step by step instruction
How to eliminate gaps after installing doors and give them an aesthetic appearance? For this purpose, the specialists use cashier’s trim. Their main function. to hide the defects appeared during installation, cracks. Installation of interior door trim strips is a responsible process that requires the master’s experience, skill.
What are interior door trims
The construction market is represented by a wide assortment of overhead strips. They are differentiated according to:
- Functions performed: structural, decorative;
- color scheme;
- Shape: flat, rounded, shaped;
- texture: plain trims, carved frames, made according to templates;
- The method of installation: overhead, telescopic;
- material: wood, metal, aluminum.
The trim should be chosen based on personal preferences, as well as taking into account the peculiarities of the interior, the exact place of installation. It is important to choose the right material when buying them. Every type of material has its pros and cons.
Even ten years ago, this type was the only option for decorating doors. But despite the improvement of the construction industry, on DO today is in demand. The main advantage is versatility: wooden planks fit any type of door construction.
They may differ from others in their appearance. Depending on the consumer’s taste, the decor can be carved, with differently shaped figures.
The disadvantage of wooden door trims is the necessity of their renovation. But this is not a reason to refuse them. Modern platbands are made in such a way that they can be restored, putty, apply paint and varnish without any problems.
Most people compare this material to fiberboard. On the one hand, their properties are similar. On the other hand, the latest technologies are used in the production of wood-fibreboard, which gives the material a higher quality.
The wood fiberboard architraves are suitable for installation outside damp rooms
Wood-fiber board is a medium-density fiberboard. In terms of environmental friendliness it is the same as wood. And veneered fibreboard can hardly be distinguished from it even superficially.
Overlay strips of fiberboard are preferred because of low cost, durability. But when choosing it is necessary to take into account that it has poor moisture resistance. Therefore, it is not recommended to install it in rooms such as baths, toilets.
Methods of cutting the platbands
On how neatly the master will cut the components of the structure, depends on the appearance of the skirting. Cutting can be done using several methods:
To get the cut is as straight as possible, without splinters, roughness, experts recommend using a professional electric saw. In this case, the device must be in good working order. If the saw blade is crooked, blunt or even a small amount of bearing run-out, the result will be far from the desired one.
Using a professional saw it is possible to get a perfectly straight cut
However, it is necessary to know that even the high-tech equipment of famous brands allows for small errors. There are certain tolerances for them: cutting angle. 0.3-0.7 degrees, inaccuracy of joint. from 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
Those who refuse to buy an electric saw can use the factory-made power saw. It is a tray made of metal, plastic or wood. With this tool products are cut at different angles: 90, 45, 30 degrees.
Craftsmen at home most often use a plier
For overlapping strips of different materials select the appropriate hacksaw. Metal and plastic frames are cut with a hacksaw for metal and wooden frames are cut with a hacksaw for wood. The quality of the work performed depends on the right tool.
Ways of fastening the trimmers
Installation is carried out by finishing, liquid nails, self-tapping screws, “beaks”.
Using finishing nails
This type of fastener is widely used because of several advantages:
To work take fine nails about 4 centimeters long, with a diameter of up to 1.5 millimeters. The distance between them must be 50 cm. On the laths mark points with a simple pencil.
After fixing, the nails can be putty in the color of the wood, so that the nails will not be visible
At the marks, nails are hammered in such a way that they enter into the box by 20 mm. If the nail heads are narrow, they can be left on or, if desired, trimmed with side cutters. Formed small depressions mask with a wax pencil of a suitable color.
The disadvantages of working with finishing nails are:
- Difficult to remove. Due to the unique shape of the nail heads, it is almost impossible to remove the nails.
- The joint is less strong than that of common nails.
- If you choose this method of fastening, keep in mind that these nails are designed for finishing where there is no bending load.
This method is ideal for fiberboard framing. It is performed quite simply, does not require certain skills and dexterity.
Installing the fiberboard panel trim is done with liquid nails
Liquid nails are applied on the underside of the decorative element and attached to the wall. Hold for a few minutes to allow the glue to set, and then secure with duct tape.
This type of fastener is good because it does not leave marks on the outside of the laths. However, the strength of attachment is not as high as when using conventional nails.
Fastening with self-tapping screws
This method is characterized by reliability. It is used for wooden products.
Wooden architraves are fastened with self-tapping screws
Even complete beginners can work with self-tapping screws. For this, you just need to follow the instructions:
- Find self-tapping screws 6 millimeters in diameter, 2 centimeters long.
- On the face of the strips, place the marks 50 cm wide apart.
- Drill small holes in the marked places, and then bore them out a little. This will allow you to hide the screw heads.
- Screw in the self-tapping screws. If you want, you can mask them with putty or decorative trim.
Installing the Platbandings on the doors with your own hands: step by step instruction
Trims play a decorative role, giving the door opening a complete look. The strips differ in material, shape, color and fastening method. Installation of interior door trims is performed after finishing the walls, but before laying the floor plinth.
Tools for the job
In order to successfully install door trimmers the following tools should be prepared beforehand.
- To make an accurate marking you will need a pencil, a tape measure, a plumb line, an angle and a level.
- To saw a perfectly flat billet at an angle of 45 degrees will help jigsaw.
- It is better to cut the slats with a mitre saw. If it is absent, you can use a metal saw. The fine teeth of the blade will not leave chipping on the product.
- To hammer the nails or to pound the elements of the trimmer use a hammer.
How to cut a platband?
After a marking of an angle of a cut and length of a preparation it is necessary to cut a platband with a crosscut saw. The adjustable table, which is set at the required angle, is a feature of the power tool. To saw off the door trim properly and without splitting off, the side edges of the workpiece is pressed tightly against the stops on the base. In case of a gap the cut will be uneven.
In the absence of an electric saw to cut under 45 degrees of an edge of a platband will help a plane. It is better to buy a quality tool. Cheap plastic has deformed thrust elements, distorting the size of the angle. A hacksaw is used for cutting with fine teeth, which do not leave any chips.
How to fix strips on the interior doors?
A simple fixing of flat shaped platband performs at an angle of 90 degrees. Vertical laths are joined tightly to the horizontal lath at the top. When mounting wooden or fiberboard elements of complex shape at the ends make a notch at an angle of 45 degrees. There are 4 methods of fixing strips.
Attaching with tongs
The method does not require the use of a self-tapping screw, nails or adhesive. Trim has a beak-shaped lock. The joining spike is inserted into the recess on the box and pressed until it clicks into place.
The advantage of the method in the ease of installation and invisibility of the mount. The negative point is the delamination of fiberboard platbands during disassembly. Over time, the spontaneous destruction of the joints can be observed, which requires additional processing of the joints with glue.
How to install the interior door trim?
When installing interior doors with their own hands to fix the wood or fiberboard trim glue, nails or self-tapping screws are used. However, take into account the evenness of the walls and the shape of the slats. No gaps must be left at the joints. If the walls adjacent to the end of the door frame are uneven, then it is better to refrain from gluing.
Mounting strips begin on the side where the interior door opens. This is due to the presence of hinges that prevent flush fixing of the slat with the frame element. You will need to make the same indentation, and on all three sides for symmetry. Where there are no hinges, there is no need for mandatory indentation.
If the door is in the corner, the installation is made in a letter “G. If you wish it is possible to saw an element vertically and use a narrow trimmer.
Trim on one side is installed in the case when the slopes on the other side are decorated with tiles or other wall materials.
Mating at a 45 degree angle
When you want to install the platband on the door at an angle of 45 degrees, for marking use a plier. Such joining of elements is usually used for boards of figured and rounded forms. If you do not have a plane, the marking can be made with a protractor.
The order of installation consists of the following steps:
- The height of the vertical elements is measured from the floor. Planking from below is placed on the flooring, why the joints between the skirting boards and door trims are on the side. When installing the strips on the door on the hinge side, take into account the width of the indent. The indicators are measured on the workpiece and put a mark. This will be the lower point of the corner of 45 degrees.
- Having inserted a plank into the jig, mark out from the put point a line for a trimmer cut at an angle. The surplus part is sawed off.
- First press the pieces in two places, so that they can bend at the top. Remove the nail heads with wire cutters and hammer into the door frame: one nail is slightly higher than the floor and the other is hammered into it at a distance of 1 meter.
- The length of nails without nail heads must not be greater than the thickness of the slats. It is optimal to make the ledge of pins 5 mm. Place the architraves on the door frame. At the location of the nail to the workpiece is attached a wooden bar, wrapped with a cloth, and light blows of the hammer to plant vertical strips on the pins.
- To make the right side trim on the whole door, it is necessary to shape the corner properly. Bend the upper, loose parts of the architrave and put a horizontal component under them. On both ends of the workpiece with a pencil mark a line at an angle of 45 degrees, then cut off the excess part.
Fix the 90-degree angle of the architraves with horizontal or vertical seams. The choice depends on the owner’s preferences. When installing the door trim with their own hands at a right angle, blanks use only a flat shape. The cut areas are treated with varnish or acrylic-based paint.
To install on the interior doors the strips with imitation of the lintel, the upper element is lengthened. The joint is obtained at an angle of 90 degrees with horizontal joints. The upper slat protrudes beyond the vertical ones.
Telescopic architraves are fixed on interior doors without nails. Decorative elements are equipped with a special lock, consisting of a slot and a groove. The fixation is made to the box face. The main requirement for the proper installation of the casing is the presence of the ledge. It is formed when the door frame is already the thickness of the room divider. The adjoining walls must be even, otherwise you will get an ugly gap.
Elimination of defects
Unpleasant point is the visibility of a nail or screw head. They are pushed into the body of the trim, and then covered with sealant of the required color. You can use a wax corrector.
Baseboard plank file
A carpenter’s saw is a device for making cuts at a certain angle. It is used with a hacksaw. In principle, you can make a chair yourself by assembling a guide made of boards and making cuts in the walls. On sale, however, there are various models costing from 15 to several hundred dollars. They differ in capabilities, materials, although they are all called a “plinth saw”. Professional models are made on the basis of a good hacksaw and have a scale that allows you to set the saw just right. With such a tool, it is no problem to set any desired cutting angle to cut the skirting board properly for a perfect junction.
Professional carpenter’s plane. a tool with a wide range
The simplest jointing tool is a plastic U-shaped profile, with slots in the walls. These slots are used as a guide for the hacksaw. They do not allow the blade to deflect. In any variant there are two cuts. straight and at 45 degrees. Some may have a couple more options.
How to fix a skirting board at 45 degrees? One way to do this is to use a jigsaw
Sometimes a hacksaw comes with the kit, sometimes not. Usually the ones in the kit aren’t too good. You can use any hacksaw, selecting the blade for the material you plan to cut. It is important that the canvas moves freely in the slots.
How to cut the baseboard in the inner corners: a plan of action in steps
Start the installation of the skirting boards in one of the corners. If this is your first experience, choose the part of the room in which there will be something to stand. The first pancake is not always a bad one, but still it’s better to play it safe. To make the corner on the baseboard neatly, work without haste. One sawed off, checked, fit. Move on to the next. It is better to mount after two adjacent corners are assembled. But it is not worth putting off assembly too much either.
Trimming the baseboard in the corners requires some skill. But by making a few joints yourself, you can beautifully decorate complex corners
How to use a wire cutter to cut baseboards? Position the device in front of you, preferably on a table, but it can also be on the floor. Which way you turn it doesn’t matter, it’s symmetrical. You insert the slat into the profile, rotate it as it will stand against the wall. When filing a skirting board in the jig, the “wall” is the wall that is further away from you. Once again: press the skirting board firmly against the back wall in the position in which it will be installed. Insert a hacksaw into the necessary slots. You can start sawing.
The first joint in the room
The first baseboard plank must be cut as close to the edge as possible. Carpenters have their own jargon and they say “cut” a corner. It does not matter what they call it, it is important that the plank is exposed in the jigsaw to make a cut at the beginning. For a fishing line for the trimmer of the cut we extend the bar on a small distance, to begin with it is possible on 1-2 cm. Cut a smaller piece is more difficult, so the economy leave “for later” when you have at least some skill.
Position the skirting board in the direction of the far wall, facing in towards yourself. This is easier to check if you are cutting/sawing properly
Next, do the corner on the baseboard as follows:
- Place the baseboard in the jig, press it against the opposite wall from us. We put it in a mounting position. how it will stand against the wall.
- Insert the hacksaw into the correct slots (see picture below).
- Move the bar so that it extends slightly beyond the line for the trimmer of the cut.
- Cut it off.
- Take the second piece of skirting board and repeat the same operations, but reverse the position of the saw on the cross-head. Insert the strip from the other side. Here be careful, otherwise you will have to redo several times, as the connection will not work.
How to cut a skirting board in a jig saw: for outside and inside joints
We got two pieces sawed to join in the inner corner. To make a perfect joint, try on parts in place. Most likely, there are some flaws. We take sandpaper with a medium grain, remove everything that prevents docking. Then with a fine grit achieve a tight joint without gaps and gaps.
When connecting the baseboards in the corner, use a transparent silicone sealant. Before installing the fasteners, a layer of silicone is applied to the cut. Immediately after the skirting board is fixed, remove the excess that has appeared on the outside. Remove until the surface is completely clean. This method of connecting baseboards in the corners looks more accurate, no dirt and dust is not hammered into it.
How to file the corner of a skirting board on the necessary distance
The second and all other corners of the skirting boards must be done at a certain distance. If the next corner is again internal and the distance to it is less than the length of the strip, we use the same fragment, which already has a notch. Measure the distance with a tape measure. strictly from corner to corner. Then this distance is marked off on the strip using the same tape measure. The beginning of the measuring tape coincide with the ledge, we measure the required distance, we make a pencil mark. This will be the starting point for the cut.
It is important to know how far to cut
The skirting board with a mark is put in a chair, and the necessary direction of sawing is chosen. The line can be aligned with the blade of a hacksaw or with the slot in the jigsaw. Who is comfortable? Cut off. This piece should be “tried on” in place. If both cornerstrips are against each other or the gap is only 1 mm, that’s OK. A second slat can be cut from the new piece to create the joint. And again we remove the imperfections with sandpaper.
If the length of the wall is longer than the length of the baseboard trim, take a new trim. We will cut the second corner on it. It is important not to mistake which direction to saw. Having established both slats along the wall, on one of them to mark the place of connection, make a straight cut. For a straight cut in the jigsaw, there are also slots. So there will be no problems.
How to connect two skirting boards in a straight line
But the joint in a straight line does not always look ideal, and in operation it often diverges, forming a visible gap. If there is a desire, it is possible to cut at an angle (any) the two slats.
To do this, first cut off the edge of one plank at an angle, mark on the second the place of connection. The mark is put on that side of a plinth which is pressed against a wall. On this mark we saw off other piece, without changing the position of the saw relative to the jigsaw, but having inserted a plank from the other side. The joint appears to be diagonal. It is more accurate. The difference is especially visible on wooden skirting boards and wood-fibre board. The cut, again, is finished “up to the mark” with sandpaper.
Making the outside joint
In apartments or houses, you find not only inside corners, but also outside corners. In this case, first trim the nearest inside corner, finish it. When it is ready, you can make the outer corner on the baseboard. Put the plank in the corner, as it should be. At the place of the outer corner with a pencil make a mark exactly at the place of the turn.
How to make the outer corner of the baseboard
Next, we transfer the plank to the jig, and choose the appropriate position. To avoid mistakes, all the time imagine how the plinth stands at the wall and what you should get.
Features and Recommendations
Experts and connoisseurs advise doing this kind of work with electric jigsaws, already because the usual hand saw is too rough. It does not allow you to cut the material evenly enough.The correct sequence of steps is as follows:
Preparing tools (ruler, electric jigsaw, measuring tape, awl or other sharp device for drawing by Woodchip board);
addition of these tools (if necessary) with an angle piece for laying right angles;
Measurement of the desired part (with a reserve of 0.2 cm to be able to adjust);
The actual cutting along the mowing line;
Finishing of a place of a saw cut by means of an emery paper;
Sawing along (telescope)
If the quality of the end face is very poor. mashing it with a crayon, similar in tone to the chipboard.
Two ways to file the trimmer, easy and simple!
Hello, dear friends! In this article I will tell and show you how you can easily saw 90 degree nudolichniki, for finishing doors or anything else. Interesting, then let’s go!
Hacksaw (preferably with a fine tooth, the cut will be thin and accurate)
The first method is using a coping saw.
I’ve divided our trim into four equal 30 cm parts. I put a piece on the trimmer table, switched on the laser line for the trimmer, rotated the saw 45 degrees and made the cut. With the second piece, I do the same but, the saw I set to 135 degrees and I make a saw cut, finished.
The second way of sawing without a coping saw.
I think this method will be more interesting to you, as not everyone has a crosscut saw. Up to some time and I did not have it, did not cope with anything by all means! So we take two pieces of our trim (preferably them ottorzivat their pre-marked square), put them on top of each other and overlap them by side and angle, so it was all flatness depends on it evenness of our sawing. We put, aligned and marked with a pencil
Next, we take our square and hold a straight line for a trimmer from the corner to the mark
All the marking is ready, half the job is done! Now we take a hacksaw with a fine tooth (I once sawed with a hacksaw on metal, tired of course, but the cut was so clean), and slowly make an incision along our line, keep everything tight and the hacksaw will play and can leave scrapes. Try to cut at an angle as sharp as possible, the cut will be smoother.
After sawing, we do the same with the second piece. All combine two pieces into a single corner and enjoy what we see! That’s how easy and simple, without trimming you can make a 90 degree angle. Thank you for your attention, have a successful repair and see you again!
The way to connect the architraves without trimming
Platbands today often do not trim at an angle to then dock with each other, and make the joint at right angles. This method of connecting the platbands does not require any special trimming, which is very convenient. In addition, this method looks more modern and attractive.
If it is still necessary to trim at an angle to one or another part, it is worth stocking up on a wire cutter. the simplest device, which looks like a small box. The chair has slots, which are designed for a saw or a long sharp knife. Of course, these cuts are made so that they form an even and accurate angle of 45 degrees.
However, the plinth cutter can have many slots at once, at different angles. It is convenient, because with the help of one device, it is possible to cut any details at different angles.
There are adjustable jigsaws on sale. Slots in such a chisel can be adjusted, allowing the master to set exactly the angle that is required at the moment. In particular, it is quite easy to translate the slots of such a jig to a position of 45 degrees.
Now the workpiece can be trimmed elementary. A baguette, platband or plinth is placed in the chair, and then the saw is inserted into the slots, and the excess is cut off elementary. The angle turns out as a result perfect, exactly 45 degrees.
What to do if there is no jigsaw?? Very simple. You need to make a template, which will not be difficult to transfer to the workpieces the necessary markings. As a template, you can choose thick cardboard or anything else that will be appropriate in this case.
Trimming “on the spot”
The walls, floor and ceiling will not always be perfectly flat in practice. Most often they have irregularities. For this reason there is no need to trim blanks at precise and accurate angles, because they do not fit perfectly anyway.
Instead it is sometimes convenient to trim the same ceiling plinth on the spot. That is, first glue one plank of the baseboard, trim it in the corner, and under it trim the second plank.
Of course, it is hardly possible to perfectly cut the workpiece. However, if there is a small gap in the corner, it can always be sealed with putty or plaster. No big deal.
How to cut a corner of a plinth or a baguette without a chisel
Plinth. an overlay frame, inherent in a door or window opening. This is a decorative detail, made in the form of shaped slats. There are also carved platbands, their difference is that they are made of wood and are often decorated with abundant carvings. The role of the frame is not only decorative, it allows you to slightly exclude such undesirable blowing in the area of the gap between the wall and the window or door frame, by overlapping.
How to cut a skirting board in the inner corners: a plan of action in steps
Begin installing baseboards in one of the corners. If this is your first experience, choose the part of the room where something will stand. Not always, of course, the first pancake, but still better to be on the safe side. To make the corner on the baseboard neatly, work without haste. Sawing off one, checking, adjusting. Move on to the next one. Fix it better after the two adjacent corners are assembled. But you should not put off assembling too much either.
Trimming the baseboard in the corners requires some skill. But by making a few joints yourself, you can beautifully decorate complex corners
How to use a baseboard tool to cut baseboards? Position the device in front of you, preferably on a table, but you can also on the floor. It doesn’t matter which way you turn it, it’s symmetrical. In the profile, you insert the bar, turn it the way it will stand against the wall. When sawing a baseboard in the jigsaw, the wall is the wall that’s farthest away from you. Once again: you press the baseboard tightly against the back wall in the position in which it will be installed. You put a hacksaw into the necessary slots. You can start sawing.
How to saw the right trim on the door?. Doors, partitions
We will demonstrate you how to install the door trim, how to work with the gun and explain the different nuances of work.
Marking and trimming of the architraves
First of all you need to tear off the ledgers before installation. We take the four trim strips and end them. You can determine the center of gravity of the trim by placing it on a finger. When the lath is balanced, we determine its center of gravity. Cutting and carrying the trim to the door.
Every door has a radius of curvature. There are straight casings, but very seldom.
Here we put the casing flush, even shifting it slightly inside the door to hide what’s underneath.
It is necessary to install the casing from the place where the radius ends:
We put two marks above the door. We do it by eye, but you can measure with a tape measure.
The angle will be 45°, that is the mark will be at a distance of 5-7 mm from the edge. Closer you can not, because here is the hinge, and closer the beginning of rounding it will not let you make a mark. Orienting on the radius, make a mark with a knife.
On the other side there is a mate and you can’t move it any closer either. Do not forget to number the platbands.
We remove garbage from under the architraves so we won’t cut off more than it is necessary.
Where the radius ended, put a mark. Similarly we measure the other side.
On the side of the architraves everything is much easier. Again, we do it not flush, but with a little displacement. We put a mark not along the boarding, but slightly below.
Accordingly, the same on the other side. 1 mm lower:
In the same way we make marks on the casing. not flush, but with a small offset. We carry out trimming of trim at 45 degrees.
There are situations when the wall is not quite flat. in some places it protrudes, and then you get mismatch when installing the architraves. Sometimes it happens that the trim must be a little fall when they are not flush, and shifted inward. What to do in such cases? Imagine that we have a wall on the right and a door on the left. We have to nail the platband to it.
If we cut it flat, when we nail it down, the corners will come apart. How to fight it?
Here we have an opening of about 2mm. If we do so, we must also cut it off, that is, to make some kind of lining.
Our wall goes up 2 mm, and we have to put some support under the corner of 2 mm high.
If you get a gap at the back, you get a platband without a gap at the front. This is the case if the door is sunk into the opening and gets on the ledge. In such cases, you have to take into account the back gap. the wall overhang. Next, we saw off the long slats.
Installing the trim
Now we will work with a pneumatic microscrew. a gun, the air in which is fed from a compressor. With its help we will fasten the laths to the wall with special nails. studs.
Dried foam should not be torn off, and cut with a knife.
Apply foam to all the other trims:
The foam will create a certain layer, and the casing will not dangle. Since the wall is not completely flat, all the irregularities must be compensated with foam. You can wait up to three minutes for the foam to form. A little foam will allow the batten to adhere more quickly.
The orientation is a rounding on the casing. At the corners of the top batten it is of course better not to nail at first, but to put long battens, and by them determine the position of the top batten. where to lower, where to raise. We have a small bump under the casing, but it is barely visible and the discrepancy between the casing is small.
We nail one nail at the bottom. Next, we have cured foam, which does not let the lath hang out, but where it hangs out, there and fasten. We advise nailing at 20 cm intervals. It’s better not to hammer them at eye level, otherwise such a nail will be too visible. In our case it is a micro stud, it can be waxed, and then it won’t be visible at all. It is desirable, of course, to fasten the platband from the ends.
However, there is one important point here. since the gun uses a lubricant like oil, then when shooting on light-colored wallpaper is air release, and the oily stain will get on the wallpaper. So when nailing, put a piece of paper underneath. The good thing about a microspike is that it breaks easily. If the microspike is not pressed properly when firing, the gun goes away when recoil and, accordingly, a cap is left, which is not blocked because it is very thin and bends.
In such cases, we clamp it with pliers and pull it off with rotary movements.
There is no point in taking it out, because you are left with a hole and you will never drive a stud in that hole again.
The nuances in installing the platband
Here we have either a little different trim, or the master did not set the angle exactly. Such irregularities can be rounded off with a hammer. but it’s good that the client doesn’t see it.
This is how the corner is rounded, so that the tip is not visible. That’s why it’s better first to file the angle, measure 90 °. If you get a little less, finish sawing.
Let’s say a few words about the oily stain on the light-colored wallpaper. You can’t see it on dark wallpaper, but you can see it very well on white wallpaper. Suppose this is our wall, we shoot. and here is our oily stain:
Now let’s talk about the nails on the nailed-up casings. This nail is almost not visible, but it is there, and some people do not like it. In such cases, you take acrylic putty, match the color of wood and apply it to the nail. It is desirable then to remove acrylic, and completely, as it may slightly whiten when drying.
In fact, all of these holes are visible at the time of acceptance, and after using the door in 1-2 months you simply do not see these holes. Try to remove the acrylic immediately, otherwise it will later be difficult to wash it off. One more thing from practice. Wooden trim is certainly cool, but not practical. It’s better to have fiberboard on your door trim.
Wood has one peculiarity. the change in humidity makes it twist.
If a wooden platband nailed on Dobor without foam, over time, after six months, especially in the off-season, it begins to twist and starts spreading the corners. Trim on the fibreboard to such climatic changes do not react. they will not hold.
Another point with regard to the nails. For white doors, never put Hi-Gear or any other kind of grease in the gun. Shoot the gun somewhere so that all the grease comes out, otherwise the white and light doors will have a black spot which will be very noticeable on the contrast.
How to properly saw the casings
Carrying out repair work in the apartment. The owners are often faced with the need to renew doors. It is worth noting that the replacement of the door unit is in any case a significant expense. But replacing the door trim is much cheaper. The quality in this case will remain at the appropriate level. Installation of door trims is not too difficult a job.
How to saw the architraves for the door
Platbands play a decorative role, making the doorway look complete. The strips differ in material, shape, color, as well as the method of attachment. Installation of interior door trims is performed after finishing the walls, but before laying the floor plinth.
In order to properly install the casings on interior doors, you must first select the appropriate elements. First of all, pay attention to the material of manufacture:
- Natural wood products are considered universal. The strips can be painted to match the door color. Fasten the wooden elements with nails without nails. If the walls are well aligned with the door frame, then the boards are put on the glue compound. “liquid nails”.
- Laminated chipboard slats have a look reminiscent of real wood. Decorative elements can be matched to the door color. Fix the trim strips with glue or flat-free nails, pre-drilling the holes without nails.
- PVC trim is more suitable for plastic doors. Glue or mount the boards on a mounting profile.
- There are also aluminum and steel trim, but it is usually put on entrance doors.
Most of the slats are given a standard flat, rounded or shaped shape.

In many natural language processing tasks, words are often represented by their tf-idf scores. While these scores give us some idea of a word’s relative importance in a document, they do not give us any insight into its semantic meaning. Word2Vec is the name given to a class of neural network models that, given an unlabelled training corpus, produce a vector for each word in the corpus that encodes its semantic information. These vectors are usefull for two main reasons.

In the past, I have studied the online LDA algorithm from Hoffman et al. in some depth resulting in this blog post. Before we go further I will provide a general description of how the algorithm works. In online LDA, minibatches of documents are sequentially processed to update a global topic/word matrix which defines the topics that have been learned. The processing consists of two steps:


Think in your security:
RFID access control systems are used to limit and regulate the number of people in and out of a facility. The technology can help prevent unauthorized employees from entering and stealing data. These types of security systems are commonly used for residential and industrial sites.
RFID entry systems can be easily configured and managed. They can also help improve operations in several different industries. Using cloud-based software allows users to configure the system remotely. Moreover, this configuration is instantaneous and does not require a technician.
The system uses access control RFID reader and critical cards with an embedded chip to store and transmit a user's identification information. It is used in many residential, commercial, and industrial settings, especially in apartment complexes and hotels.
An alarm can be triggered if a thief gains access to the premises. The system can also send alerts to security personnel.
Unlike magnetic strip door card readers, this access control system is contactless. It uses a signal generated from an RFID access control systems to determine whether a person is authorized to enter the building. Since it does not require physical contact with the individual, it adds peace of mind to staff and tenants.
Passive UHF RFID systems use frequencies ranging from 860 to 960 MHz. Their read range is typically 30 feet, but high-frequency systems have much longer ranges.
High-frequency systems are ideal for parking garages, loading docks, and storage areas. While they do not have the range of passive strategies, they read from as close as a few inches. This means they are convenient for monitoring people in a minimal space.

Findings on how best to treat insomnia:
Therapy Bests Medication for Chronic Insomnia
While popping a sleeping pill may be the solution for an occasional sleepless night, people with chronic insomnia can get more and deeper sleep if they receive cognitive behavioral therapy to treat their sleep disorder.
That's the conclusion of a Norwegian study that found that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was better at treating long-term insomnia than the sleep medication zopiclone, which is very similar to the widely advertised drug Lunesta, the researchers said.
Feeling a bit sad may be a big deal for you if you've previously experienced clinical depression:
Mild sadness may trigger depression anew
These findings suggest that "even a mild negative mood, when experienced by someone with a history of depression, can re-instate some of the cognitive features observed in depression itself," Segal's team concludes.
Though our treatment choices as migraineurs may not have life or death consequences, I think the desire of this family to make the choice that is right for their son is something we can relate to. Control seems to be one of the first things to leave your life when you're diagnosed with an illness, and the desire to preserve what little you have left seems natural to me. I think the extent to which our society allows people to make their own informed health care choices is important for us to consider.
Teen cancer patient battles to choose own treatment
16-year-old wants alternative therapy, not ordered chemo
Three months of chemotherapy last year made him extremely weak. So when he learned in February that his cancer was active again, he turned -- against doctors' advice -- to a sugar-free organic diet, herbs and visits to a clinic in Mexico.
A social worker asked a judge to require the teen to continue conventional treatment.
In May, the judge issued a temporary order finding Jay and Rose Cherrix neglectful for supporting their son's choice to pursue alternatives. Judge Jesse E. Demps also ordered the parents to share custody of Abraham with the Accomack County Department of Social Services.
Abraham's parents face losing custody completely.
I'm afraid I just don't follow the line of reasoning that calls this parental neglect or abuse. Would the result be the same if this famliy's decision was based on religious considerations? According to my understanding of the law, it would not.

Sleep research reveals difference in perception and reality where length of sleep is concerned:
Patterns: Sleep Proves More Elusive Than Many Believe
Researchers who asked people to wear sleep-measuring devices found that the period of sleep was much shorter than the study subjects believed. The report appears in the July 1 issue of The American Journal of Epidemiology.
The researchers, led by Diane Lauderdale of the University of Chicago, found that the people studied had spent an average of seven and a half hours in bed, but just over six hours asleep. They also found significant differences in sleep patterns between men and women and whites and blacks, and among different income groups.

Global Tech shines light on Bonita, Estero
The Bonita Springs and Estero business community was on display recently, with Bonita Springs-based Global Tech LED hosting the annual meeting of the Bonita Springs & Estero Economic Development Council.
Gary K. Mart, CEO of Global Tech LED who was honored in May as the 2015 Distinguished Entrepreneur of Southwest Florida by the Florida Small Business Development Center at FGCU, spoke of the company’s success and what’s ahead.
“We’re on one heck of a ride as a company," he said, noting Global Tech just installed lighting for the Biloxi Shuckers minor-league ballpark and is working with folks on lighting at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It also works in places such as airplane hangars, car dealerships and community parks.
Global Tech manufactures LEDs, which reduce maintenance and produce energy savings, for new and old fixtures. It employs almost 60 people.
“You don’t have to touch it for 20 years,” Mart said of LEDs. “We have a customer once, that’s it. It’s going to be the wave of the future for the next 10 to 15 years.”
Mart is on the board of directors of Enterprise Florida, the state’s principal economic development organization, and is working to get more jobs to Southwest Florida: “We have so much to offer here,” he said.
Global Tech recently started work in India and soon plans to enter the Brazil market. India doesn’t yet account for much company revenue, Mart said, but he expects that to change quickly since it just started doing business in the country of 1.3 billion people that has major infrastructure needs.
The LED products, which can be custom made for the client, were on display on a tour that followed and wrapped up the event.
“They put out very little heat,” said Paul Schmidt, chief operating officer, showing off various products.
Someone asked what makes a good Global Tech employee.
“We’re looking for people who want to grow,” he said, noting the company’s emphasis on cross training. “We want to promote from within.”
Christine Ross, executive director of the Bonita Springs & Estero Economic Development Council and president/CEO of the Bonita Springs Area Chamber of Commerce, talked about working with Atilus, the Bonita web design firm, to revamp its online presence. The intent is to feature more young professionals.
“We have a demographics issue to overcome,” she said, adding that marketing and social media efforts will be ramped up over the next year. “We are starving for workforce, and it’s going to get really bad over the next 10 years.”
The Camuto Group, a global fashion footwear company that opened an office in Bonita last December that now employs 26 people and plans to hire more, showed off commercials for various brands.
“It has been an easy transition. So far, so good,” said Chris D’Elia, vice president of credit and collections at Camuto Group. “The talent showed up and we’re doing well.”

Mid-Atlantic Health Law TOPICS
Pharmacy Liable for Faulty Information
In Rite Aid v. Levy-Gray, Maryland's highest court recently ruled that a pharmacy may be held liable for breach of warranty on the basis of statements it makes in package inserts for prescriptions that it fills. In doing so, the Maryland Court of Appeals became the first state appellate court to reach such a conclusion.
A. Levy-Gray's Complications
Ellen Levy-Gray's physician diagnosed her with Lyme disease and prescribed the antibiotic doxycycline. She filled the prescription at a Rite Aid Pharmacy. Rite Aid inserted an information package that directed Ms. Levy-Gray to take each dose with a glass of water or "with food or milk if stomach upset occurs unless your doctor directs you otherwise."
Although Ms. Levy-Gray took the first dose of doxycycline with water, the following day she started taking the medicine with milk because she had experienced an upset stomach. In fact, since she hoped to resume breastfeeding her newborn after her course of treatment, Ms. Levy-Gray consumed 8-10 glasses of milk per day plus many other dairy products. Her symptoms improved, but she never fully recovered.
Ms. Levy-Gray was subsequently diagnosed with post-Lyme syndrome, a chronic autoimmune response in which patients experience symptoms that mimic Lyme disease, but without an active bacterial infection. Ms. Levy-Gray alleged that her consumption of milk and other dairy products while taking doxycycline, consistent with the information provided by Rite Aid, reduced the absorption of the drug, and prevented its effective operation, thereby causing her post-Lyme syndrome.
B. Breach of Warranty
A breach of express warranty claim provides a remedy for consumers who are injured by products that fail to conform to representations made about them by their manufacturers or sellers. In such cases, it is unnecessary for the injured party to prove that the representation was negligently made, which was significant in this case because the Rite Aid insert was derived from FDA approved language that was developed by the drug's manufacturer.
Ms. Levy-Gray sued Rite Aid alleging that the statement in the Rite Aid package insert that doxycycline could be taken with food or milk in the event of an upset stomach constituted an express warranty that she could consume dairy products without altering the drug's effectiveness. She argued that she developed post-Lyme syndrome because she relied on that statement and consumed dairy products while she was taking the medication. By its verdict in favor of Ms. Levy-Gray with respect to her breach of warranty claim, the jury evidently agreed with her, and the Maryland Court of Appeals upheld that verdict.
C. Learned Intermediary Doctrine
One of the arguments Rite Aid made on appeal was that the learned intermediary doctrine should bar Ms. Levy-Gray from recovering damages from Rite Aid under an express warranty theory. That doctrine was originally developed as a defense for drug and medical device manufacturers. The defense obliges manufacturers to warn health care providers, but not their patients, about risks attendant to the use of prescription drugs.
The doctrine assumes that only health care providers are in a position to understand the risks of prescription based therapies. Accordingly, as long as the manufacturer provides good information to the prescribing doctors, patients cannot successfully sue the manufacturer.
A number of courts have extended the learned intermediary doctrine to provide a defense to pharmacies and pharmacists. In those jurisdictions, the physician, and not the pharmacy, has a duty to supply the patient with appropriate information so that the patient can make an informed choice as to whether to proceed with recommended therapy. Therefore, pharmacists cannot be held liable for their failure to warn their customers about prescription medication's operative properties.
In the Rite Aid matter, the Maryland Court of Appeals acknowledged that it had adopted a form of the learned intermediary doctrine in a previous case. In that earlier case, the court overturned a verdict against a pharmacist who had filled a prescription as ordered by the physician. The prescription allegedly contained unsafe levels of strychnine.
However, the court declined Rite Aid's invitation to extend the learned intermediary doctrine to cases in which pharmacies disseminate information concerning the properties and effectiveness of a prescription drug. Insofar as a patient relies to his or her detriment on the pharmacy's representation, the learned intermediary defense is no bar to an express warranty claim in Maryland.
In Levy-Gray v. Rite Aid, the court did not impose a duty on pharmacies to provide warnings or instructions to its customers. However, once a pharmacy does so, those instructions can create an express warranty under Maryland law, and the pharmacy can be held liable if that warranty is breached.

Netflix soars to a record high after crushing subscriber growth targets (NFLX)
Netflix is trading at a record high on Thursday morning, up 6.6%, at $141.68 a share after crushing its subscriber growth targets.
The company beat Q4 subscriber growth numbers on Wednesday, in the US and internationally, ahead of both Wall Street expectations and its own guidance.
Netflix also beat on EPS and revenue, which was up 36% year-over-year. The stock popped more than 8% on the news.
The company signaled that profit margins would tick up in 2017, but the company warned that it intended to continue spending aggressively - to the tune of a staggering $6 billion on content.
With regards to content, Netflix said it will continue to invest in local content, "focusing on local content that travels pan-regionally or across multiple territories, such as Japanese anime and Turkish dramas." It also emphasized the success of "3%," the Brazilian sci-fi series which it said "millions" of members watched subtitled in English.
Deutsche Bank's Bryan Kraft said the increased international demand was "catalyzed by original content (e.g. Luke Cage – Sept. 30 release, The Crown, Gilmore Girls, and Fuller House)."
Netflix recently won a Golden Globe for a top show category, when its royal drama "The Crown" picked up a best drama series award and Claire Foy, who plays The Queen, won best actress.
The one place Netflix fell short was in Q1 guidance for domestic subscriber growth, where it missed Wall Street's expectations.

News of a water main break can be especially alarming when air temperatures barely approach zero degrees.
That’s just what happened in Davenport.
Tasha Greenwood says she had to miss work because her car was stuck in ice, several inches thick, after water poured into her driveway from a nearby broken water main.
Lisa Reisen, spokesperson for Iowa American Water, confirms a 12-inch main did break sometime during the overnight hours between Monday, January 6 and Tuesday, January 7, 2014.
StormTrack 8 Meteorologist Terry Swails says the overnight low temperature dropped to 10 degrees below zero.
Reisen says Iowa American sent in a backhoe to dig to make the repair, but the backhoe broke down because of extremely cold temperatures. That delayed repair work until about 9 a.m. Tuesday.
It took repair crews nearly six hours to locate and repair the break. Water pressure was reduced, but not completely shut off to those affected in the area of Eastern Avenue between Locust and Kirkwood.
Riesen said the supervisor at the repair site reported the main had been repaired just before 3 p.m. Tuesday. Iowa American crews were working to clean up ice that developed as a result of the break, including the thick ice that stranded Greenwood’s car.
(editor’s note: We erroneously first identified the utility involved as Ameren when it is actually Iowa American Water. We apologize for the error.)

We took last Friday off in blogging in respect of, and to pray for those affected by the school shooting. While we are picking back up again today, we continue to pray and think about all touched by this tragedy.
One of the things that I love most about the Holidays is the sweet treats I make for my family. Gingerbread, hot chocolate, and fudge are some traditional ones we try to do every year. But the thing I hate about the Holidays can be the sweets too. Not that I am some Nazi about sweets, I just personally find that I don’t feel well if I eat too many, even naturally-sweetened homemade baked goods. And while I try to be a moderate about sweets with my kids, I notice when that fine line has been crossed into the “candy land” sugar load. I know that I have readers who avoid eating too much sugar too.
But the question I posed to myself is, why does “special food” have to always be sweet food? There are so many delicious foods that aren’t the least bit sweet. In fact, so many of our food traditions center not on the pie, but on the turkey, or chowder or other savory main dish. As adults, we can thoroughly enjoy a delicious meal without a cake (as wonderful as cakes are). As parents, we can also try to make food fun for our children, even if it doesn’t have sugar in it.
Here are some of my non-sweet Christmas ideas.
Grinch or Elf food: We have a handful of movies we like to watch each Christmas season, and last year we decided to add Elf to the list. But if you have a movie night that includes a green Grinch or green clothed elves, then making a platter of “green” food to be enjoyed while watching the movie can be fun!
Why not make a green elf juice or smoothie? (The above juice was a cucumber, apple, cilantro, lime, and kale juice). Or what about Grinch Guacamole? There are a lot of naturally green foods (cabbage, lettuce, kale, broccoli, cucumber, celery etc.) that you can adapt to this idea.
Christmas Tree Vegetable Platter: This was born from one of my pinterest pins. (Gotta love pinterest!). The other day we were going to to a small Christmas party, and my daughter wanted to bring this along to share with her friends. We thought it was pretty cute, and served it alongside some balsamic salad dressing (hummus, or a blue cheese dressing would work too!) (I snapped the above picture in insufficient lighting, so sorry about the lack of quality! We were going to a party and I only had a second!)
Holiday Soup: We often had clam chowder Christmas Eve growing up, which was a rich, delicious, nutritious meal that felt special without being sweet! My oldest also has a “birthday soup” which we make for her every birthday. It was her favorite as a toddler and I always make it for her on her birthday. Special food doesn’t have to be sweet food! Sometimes it is also simply the tradition of having that dish on that special day that makes it special too. Don’t discount tradition. And since soups are so nutritious, easily feed a crowd, and are often frugal too, they are a good choice (and are perfect for cold weather).
Extra Effort Meals: For many of us simple food rules the day (and simple food can rock too!), but the holiday season can be a good opportunity to put a little extra time into making special foods. Like making homemade beef tallow French fries and grass-fed burgers, or tempura and udon soup, or sushi, or whatever speaks love to you or your family. While we certainly don’t want to make any birthday or holiday simply about making food, food can also speak loads of love to those we celebrate the season with. Making food memories for our children, don’t just have to be sugary sweets to be sweet in mind. Making sushi, making salad rolls, making rice balls, equals almost as much fun in this family as making a platter of cookies (can you tell my husband is half Asian?). While we will have a traditional ham feast on Christmas day with extended family, creating more simple, but special meals other days of the holiday are fun too.
Chestnuts: If you haven’t roasted or boiled your own chestnuts, do so now. I LOVE chestnuts. I adore them. I would eat them everyday if I could. I bet a lot of people on paleo diets would enjoy them as well (those who eat potatoes, and some starches). I give instructions for roasting them here, but we also enjoy them boiled. And besides, chestnuts just reek of Christmastime.
Nuts: But making roasted nuts of all kinds (peanuts, walnuts, almond, etc.) is a wonderful holiday treat. Add a bit of rosemary or other herbs, unrefined salt, and high-quality oil and roast, and you have a great treat. There are so many different flavor profiles and seasoning directions you can go with this!
Popcorn: One of our favorite snacks is homemade popcorn (we own a stovetop popper and love it). We like it with grass-fed melted butter, unrefined salt, and brewer’s yeast. So good! And, once again, there are a lot of different ways you can flavor popcorn. For a while I was sprinkling mine with an herb mix that contained rosemary and oregano. Super delicious.
So there are some of my ideas. I’d love to hear your ideas for sugar-free treats for Christmas too!

Robinhood Rolls Out Tokens Offerings, Adding SOL, SHIB, MATIC & COMP
To meet customer requests for a broader selection of cryptocurrencies, American financial services company Robinhood has listed Shiba Inu (SHIB), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), and Compound (COMP).
Upon listing, Shiba Inu surged by more than 20%, increasing its market capitalization by $1.2 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
The listing comes nearly a week after the company officially rolled out its long-awaited cryptocurrency wallet, providing access to more than 2 million customers.
Steve Quirk, Robinhood’s chief brokerage officer, pointed out that the latest move showcases the firm’s commitment to the crypto space. He added:
“We’re excited to add more choices for our customers as we work to make Robinhood the best place to invest in crypto. As a safety-first company, we have a rigorous framework in place to help us evaluate assets for listing, and we remain committed to providing a safe and educational crypto platform.”
As an algorithmic and autonomous interest rate protocol meant to develop open financial applications, Robinhood saw it fit to add Compound to meet customer needs.
Furthermore, Solana prompts processing speeds to nearly 65,000 transactions per second by merging proof-of-history and proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms.
By adding the new cryptocurrencies, Robinhood seeks to revamp its dwindling crypto trading revenue. For instance, according to Bloomberg, cryptocurrencies generated about $48 million in transaction-based revenue for Robinhood in the fourth quarter of last year - a 79% drop from the $233 million reported in the second quarter.
Furthermore, the company intends to incorporate the Bitcoin Lightning Network for faster BTC transactions.
Shopify, a global e-commerce giant, recently inked a deal with digital payments platform Strike to enable Bitcoin lightning payments, Blockchain.News reported.

ALDWINIANS went back to the top of the North Lancs/Cumbria League after this contest was settled by a single penalty on the hour.
Having set off in dry, sunny conditions, the Audenshaw Park club encountered a freezing grey mist on their journey north which did not abate.
The game did not live up to its pre-match billing either as Fleetwood had a point to prove after losing at Blackburn the previous week.
Their early pressure kept Aldwinians pinned back for the first 15 minutes, but the quality of their defence prevented any chance of Fleetwood breaking through.
They could have taken the lead when Aldwinians were penalised for going over the top at a ruck, but they were unable to kick the resultant penalty.
Although their lineout was misfiring, Aldwinians' forwards took a grip on all phases of the game but a lack of penetration kept the game scoreless as the visiting backs looked a shadow of their normal selves, unable to capitalise on their side's territorial advantage.
Having brought coach Danny Lyons on at prop after an injury to Nick Kitchen, the visitors' dominance in the scrum became even more pronounced.
They scored the only points of the day on the hour when an offside offence, followed by backchat to the referee, saw the penalty fall within James Worrall's range and he duly slotted the ball between the uprights.
The game then meandered in the same way it had done earlier and Aldwinians were able to kep their noses in front by the final whistle.
While the quality of the game was not satisfying, it was an important victory particularly with the news that De La Salle had pulled off a 12-6 win at home against a Wigton side who had been previously unbeaten on the road this season, and who had gone into the weekend games as leaders.
It meant Aldwinians found themselves back in pole position, level on 23 points with Wigton but with two games in hand over them and a better points difference.
Next up is a match at Trafford MV with Aldwinians looking to consolidate their position but no doubt having plenty of passing practice during the week.

Redeeming the Time
Just in case Tim Cummiskey is mistakenly described as an 'up and coming' jazz guitarist, let the level of playing revealed on this CD serve as living testimony that this artist has already 'arrived' The Tim Cummiskey Trio assembled for this project puts Tim in fine company, with Columbus legend Hank Marr on organ and drummer Jim Rupp, an alumnus of the Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, and Glenn Miller Orchesstras. While Tim Cummiskey has appeared on numerous recordings as a sideman, Redeeming The Time is his second recording as the leader. The guitar's place in the history of jazz has been both interesting and peculiar. Unlike woodwind and brass instruments that played a prominent role in the development of jazz styles in every major era, the guitar did not become a major jazz voice in the field until the jazz-rock or fusion manifestations of the late 1960s and 1970s. And although the guitar found relatively quick acceptance as a rhythm instrument, it was slower to develop as a solo vehicle. Thanks to Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian in the modern era and on through the pantheon of great guitarists in the postbop period from Wes Montgomery to your favorite at this time, the guitar has given notice and history informs us that the instrument is a voice in the genre of jazz that takes a back seat to no other instrument. Indeed the guitar's role-playing as both a comping and a solo instrument provides a unique opportunity for boundless creative expression. Upon listening to Tim Cummiskey's Redeeming The Time, one hears the work of a fertile mind that offers boundless creative expression. And I don't just mean heady, cerebral playing, but playing that comes from the heart, as well, with lots of musical sensitivity and imagination. Cummiskey's choice of tunes for this CD reveals his respect and love for the compositions of music masters like Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Bill Evans, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Sam Jones, Hank Mobley, and Lee Morgan, along with Jimmy Van Huesen and Bronslau Kaper. Additionally he includes one of his own compositions and another cowritten with Hank Marr. Tim Cummiskey proves my adage that jazz music is really about rhythm. If you enjoy swing, you will marvel at the groove set down in Unit 7 or Invitation, two of my favorites. Cummiskey wastes no time in showing you that he has chops galore. While modern stylists since Charlie Parker typically have utilized the double-time figure in their improvisations, Cummiskey's use of double-time figures occurs at any point of the bar. At times they go over the bar, and often are grouped in four, but often appear in triplet, too. The beauty of Cummiskey's rhythms is that they come at you at a virtuosic machine-gun pace that makes you say wow! Sometimes the juxtapositioning of his rapid-fire rhythms create surprise and tension, but they get properly resolved, and besides, he can do all of this and still swing. Listen to the vamp ending of Black Nile, and see for yourself. If you like the blues, then check out Hank's Riff. Here Cummiskey understands the blues as primary language and reveals his affection for earthy, soulful playing. Of course, with Hank Marr on organ, there is plenty of groove and grease in this kitchen. When Leroi Jones (Amira Baraka) published his seminal work, Blues People, in 1963, he surely must have had Hank Marr in mind, and both Cummiskey and Rupp add their special ingredients to the mix. Other important aspects of this recording are the rich harmonic vocabulary and beautiful melodic renditions evidenced by Cummiskey in the more relaxed tunes of this session. All guitarists and pianists love Jobim for his beautiful and exquisite harmonies and melodies. Cummiskey's choice of How Insensitive discloses some of his most sensitive playing. The gentle side of Cummiskey comes through in Jobim's pretty, Latin-flavored tune that provides a wonderful template for yet another beautiful and creative ride from Cummiskey. The ballad Darn That Dream, Bill Evan's Time Remembered, along with Cummiskey's own Fever Dream provide us with more tenderness and introspection. Improvisation is the hallmark and defining essence of creativity in the jazz tradition. Whether listening to Inner Urge or This I Dig Of You, or any of the ten tunes featured on Redeeming The Time, one will be impressed with the improvising prowess of Tim Cummiskey. Sit back, relax and enjoy, and redeem your time listening to the artistry of Tim Cummiskey, jazz guitarist. Dr. Ted McDaniel Columbus, Ohio May 5, 2003.

CRS reporting considerations are paramount in structuring portfolio investments through companies, partnerships, and trusts. In addition to local tax and estate planning issues, it’s essential to determine if the settlor’s jurisdiction of residence has introduced CRS anti-avoidance legislation or adopted the OECD’s Mandatory Disclosure Rules in its CRS implementation
In the case of portfolio investments held individually in one or more accounts, assuming the account holder lives in a CRS Participating Jurisdiction, the amount of financial information reported under the CRS by Custodial Institutions is vast, and includes the total balance or value of the account, the gross amounts of interest, dividends and other income, as well as the total gross proceeds, or ‘turnover’ of the account. In addition, in the case of multiple accounts, each bank would file a separate CRS report with the competent authority, resulting in multiple CRS reports exchanging extensive amounts of financial information.
Streamlining CRS Reporting
Streamlining reporting under CRS would involve the process of designing an investment structure that holds portfolio investments through a trust which would be classified as a Financial Institution under CRS, specifically as a Professionally Managed Investment Entitiy (PMIE), rather than holding such assets through personal accounts or passive NFEs. The trust treated as a PMIE would report the information required by the CRS, and is not intended to avoid or circumvent the CRS reporting. Indeed, the CRS authorizes streamlining, and expressly allows Reporting Financial Institutions to align the reporting treatment of beneficiaries of passive NFE trusts treated as controlling persons with the reporting treatment of beneficiaries of trusts that are Financial Institutions.
Thus, a more suitable arrangement to hold portfolio investments would be a properly drafted, constituted and administered discretionary trust. This arrangement would provide estate-planning benefits, possibly tax-planning benefits depending on the type of trust and the jurisdiction of residence of the settlor, and possibly asset-protection benefits. The trust would be classified as a PMIE administered by a commercial trust company resident in a participating jurisdiction, holding its assets through an underlying investment vehicle that would also be classified as a PMIE resident in a CRS participating jurisdiction. The assets held by the underlying company of the trust would be managed with discretionary authority by a qualifying Financial Institution.
Such a trust structure would have a significantly reduced CRS reporting profile. The custodian bank would have no CRS reporting obligations with respect to the accounts held by the underlying investment vehicle PMIE as the reporting obligations would be held by the PMIE. Since the underlying investment vehicle PMIE would be held by a trust that is itself a PMIE, the CRS reporting obligations of the underlying investment vehicle PMIE would flow up to the PMIE trust, which would have the CRS reporting obligations. In this fact pattern, the PMIE trust would report the settlor as to the aggregate balance or value of the trust assets, any amounts paid to the settlor or beneficiaries, as well as the protector if required by local legislation. By the very nature of how reporting works under the CRS with respect to Equity Interests in PMIEs, neither the total income generated in the bank accounts of the underlying PMIE, nor the gross proceeds (turnover) of the account would be reported, but the settlor’s interest in the trust and any distributions would be reported.
CRS Anti-Avoidance Rules
As stated above, the jurisdiction of residence of the settlor may have introduced anti-avoidance rules as part of its CRS implementing legislation. In addition, or alternatively, the jurisdiction of residence of the settlor may have adopted the OECD’s Mandatory Disclosure Rules (MDR), which function essentially as CRS anti-avoidance rules, and have no force or effect in any jurisdiction unless adopted by local legislation.
The MDR attempts to prohibit avoidance arrangements, which are designed to circumvent the CRS. Examples given in the model rules of the MDR include:
- transferring a Financial Account, or its assets, to a jurisdiction that does not exchange information with the tax residence of the taxpayer;
- the re-domiciliation of an FI into an FI that is resident in a jurisdiction that does not exchange information with the tax residence of the taxpayer;
- allowing an entity to qualify as an active NFE; and
- classifying a payment to an Account Holder as a payment that is not reportable.
In sum, avoidance arrangements are those that result in non-reporting under the CRS. In addition, the MDR attempts to prohibit opaque offshore structures, which are designed to disguise or shield the identification of beneficial ownership. The MDR requires intermediaries, including promoters and service providers, with a nexus to a jurisdiction that has adopted the MDR, and possibly clients, to disclose the details any CRS avoidance arrangements or opaque offshore structures to their respective tax authorities.
Streamlining CRS reporting as described above is not intended to avoid CRS reporting but rather to reduce the type and amount of information reported under CRS by holding portfolio investments through trusts properly treated as PMIEs.

An interesting story
Malta is now a small independent small state but with a rich history and monuments. The story goes back 5000 years BC when the first settlers come here from Sicily or Africa Pn. After these times have been megalithic temples of Hagar Qim. Sequentially Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans ruled here in the period from 800 BCE to the fourth century AD. Punic wars and the legendary St. stay. Paul in Malta during the reign of the Roman Empire knight.
The division of the Roman Empire led to the invasion of the Vandals and ready in the fifth century n.e From the year 870 to 1090 Malta passes into the hands of the Arabs and Islam is adopted. In 1090 the leader of the Norman Roger frees Malta for over 200 year reign of the Arab and Malta returns to the bosom of Christianity. From 1530 to 1798 in Malta staying expelled earlier from the Order of the Knights of Rhodes called later Order of the Knights of Malta.

Wearing the vest on and taking an energic drink to ready was what our groom did before he walked down the stair to meet his future wife. Meanwhile, the bride also finished the last make-up. They were ready!
Walking through the small garden, the groom stood in the end, he was nervous, but his smile couldn’t hide the happiness. He was waiting for the gorgeous woman in the white dress. She approached him with love in her eyes, and no one can express the feeling they got. Instead, they hugged each other tightly.
Pastel color is the primary tone in the wedding. A variety of flowers were used to build the flower arch. Simple but extraordinary!
A wedding connected two people who grew up in different countries. But in the end, they met on a spring day in Hanoi, Vietnam. The groom with his mustache and the bride with her beauty finally became a family under the witness of friends and family.

Research Consultancy on Disaster Risk Reduction in School Curricula in South Asian and South East Asian Countries for Plan Sweden
David Selby and Fumiyo Kagawa are undertaking a December 2013/January 2014 research consultancy for Plan Sweden into disaster risk reduction (DRR) pre-school, school and post-secondary curricula in five South Asian and South East Asian countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The research involves reviewing DRR developments across the curriculum and through the grade levels as well as inter-linkages between DRR curriculum, teaching and learning and other components of a comprehensive approach to DRR in school and community (in particular safe school management and safe school infrastructural developments). A better understanding of how development agencies are contributing – and might in the future contribute – to DRR curriculum development is an anticipated outcome of the research.
Research methodologies include:
- An initial snowball sampling process to map out key players and stakeholders in DRR curriculum development in the five countries
- A literature search and review of academic and professionally-oriented literature relating to disaster risk reduction education in the five countries and regionally
- Individual and focus group interviews with experts, key players and stakeholders in disaster risk reduction curriculum development in the five countries and regionally
- An online fact finding and perspective garnering questionnaire
- A Delphi Forecasting exercise on the future potential role of development agencies in fostering systematic DRR curriculum development.
The paper resulting from the research will be fed by Plan Sweden into the 2015 UNISDR Global Assessment Report (GAR15) process that is to precede and inform the adoption of a successor global framework to the 2005-15 Hyogo Framework for Action on disaster risk reduction.
