Brandenberry Keeps Antique Furniture Alive with Queen Anne Collection

If there's one style of furniture that's synonymous with 'antique,' it's the Queen Anne style. But furniture aficionados who do not have Queen Anne furniture dating back two or three centuries need not fear. Brandenberry Amish Furniture of Shipshewana, Indiana, is keeping the antique furniture movement alive with a collection of Queen Anne furniture.

The Queen Anne style developed in the late 17th century to early 18th century England, and is named for Queen Anne. The style represents a blend of several influences, including Baroque, classical and Asian.

It's no coincidence that Queen Anne furniture sports a light and dainty look and feel. Because the furniture developed when socialization in the home (such as drinking tea) grew in popularity in England. This explains why Queen Anne has features like chairs with padded seat, shoulder-hugging winged back, and spine-supporting curve. In fact, the Queen Anne is believed to be the first ergonomically designed chair.

Several other features give the Queen Anne its distinctive look. These characteristics include the wood fashioned in C-scroll, S-scroll and S-curves. Restrained ornamentation, usually shell-shaped, is another big feature. But if Queen Anne furniture has a trademark feature, it's the cabriole leg. This shape is distinguished by a convex shape at the top and a concave shape at the bottom. Plus an ornate foot.

Brandenberry Amish Furniture offers numerous Queen Anne pieces. They include vanities and dressers, secretary desks and jewelry armoires. Yet, Queen Anne furniture from Brandeberry is superior to most furniture normally found in most franchise furniture stores, big box stores and online stores. That's because skilled Amish cabinetmakers custom-craft each item of furniture. And the Amish builders use quality regional hardwoods, such as oak, maple, cherry and hickory. As a result, with proper care, the furniture can easily become a family heirloom.

Queen Anne furniture from Brandenberry can be ordered online or customers can visit Brandenberry's 'brick and mortar' store in Shipshewana, Indiana. The store is located at 1045 N. State Road 5 in Shipshewana, at the intersection of State Road 5 and US 20, near the Indiana Toll Road. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment.

Spotted Lanternfly has Landed in PA and Homeowners Need to be Aware of these Troublesome Insects

The Spotted Lanternfly is a new pest that has invaded Pennsylvania. These beautiful but nasty bugs are swarming the state in concerning numbers. First spotted in 2014, Penn State's Agriculture Extension has been monitoring the Spotted Lanternfly and issuing warnings about this invasive insect. They're a problem for local farmers who are losing fruit and timber crops to the insects' voracious appetite. However, homeowners are also seeing impacts that range from annoying to significant damage. The experts at Giroud Tree & Lawn show how to spot the Spotted Lanternfly, why they're more than just a nuisance pest, and how Homeowners can help in the fight against these insects.

Spotted Lanternfly are attracted to Tree of Life

The Spotted Lanternfly feeds primarily on the Tree of Heaven, which is common throughout the region. Unfortunately, these flies also swarm many other types of trees, including Black Walnuts, Maples, Apples, Willows, and many more. According to the PA Department of Agriculture, they attack more than 70 species of trees, and 25 of them are found in Pennsylvania.

At this point, it's hard to determine the long term damage to trees. Emeilie Swackhamer, Penn State Horticulture Director, has been following the Spotted Lanternfly and monitoring infested trees for 3 years. Swackhamer explains that while it's still too early to say what the long-term effects will be, the insects are definitely causing significant die-back and defoliating branches in trees. However, there are other concerns homeonwers should be aware of.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/pixel-film-studios-unveils-fcpx-layers.html

How Spotted Lanternfly Causes Property Damage

These insects eat tree sap and then excrete droppings of a sweet, sticky substance called Honeydew. The honeydew will coat the tree, the base of the tree, and anything underneath the tree, including cars, hardscapes and decking. Then, black, sooty mold grows on the secreted substance. The combination of honeydew and black, sooty mold has an unpleasantly sour stench and is very difficult to remove from surfaces.

How the Spotted Lanternfly Attracts Dangerous Insects

Even more unsettling, the secreted honeydew attracts stinging wasps! Wasps can't resist the tantalizing smell of the honeydew, and they will swarm trees for a taste. Homeowners are struggling to rid yards of stinging wasps, and it's particularly a problem for children playing in the area!

Knowing How to Identify the Spotted Lanterfly

One of the things that makes this insect difficult to control is the fact that it goes through several identities during it's life cycle. Adult females lay eggs in the fall, and they go to great lengths to cover the egg masses in a secretion that dries hard and camouflages to look like dirt or clay. The young nymphs that emerge from the eggs in spring are black with white spots. In early summer, they gain red markings on their bodies. Then, midsummer they become adults and shed their skin to form wings on their backs.

These wings are their true tell tale, with bright red markings on a background of black, white and beige patterns. However, when the adults are at rest or feeding on tree sap, their signature red marks are hidden underneath their folded wings making them more difficult to identify.

How Homeowners Can Help Stop the Spread of Spotted Lanternfly

It is going to take a statewide effort to combat the spread of this insect. Awareness is the first step!

"We are fully prepared to combat the Spotted Lanternfly," says Matt Giroud, Director of Field Operations at Giroud Tree & Lawn. "We are prepped and ready to treat these trees. The challenge is making the community aware of the problem."

Read this here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/urbane-cafes-latest-grand-opening.html

Homeowners and PA residents can all take the following precautions to keep Spotted Lanternfly from taking over:

-Destroy any eggs and coated egg masses. One female Spotted Lanternfly can lay up to 100 eggs! These eggs and egg masses can easily be scraped off of surfaces and put into a bag with rubbing alcohol to kill them.
-Always check benches, stones, firewood, and anything else before moving them. Spotted Lanterfly will lay eggs on any smooth surface, particularly the undersides where the egg masses are better protected from predators. Scrape off any suspicious masses and destroy them so as not to inadvertently relocate and spread the insect population.
-Look for eggs, egg masses, honeydew secretions, black, sooty mold and swarms of wasps.
-Have an ISA Certified Arborist check trees for any signs of Spotted Lanternfly

Trigence Introduces Full Digital Driver DN3013 for High-Res Audio

Trigence Semiconductor Inc., the revolutionary digital audio IC and solution provider, today introduced the latest full digital driver IC, DN3013, for high-resolution audio, suitable for USB powered headsets, wireless speakers, sound bars and headphones for personal computers.

With its newly developed "Virtual Coil®" technology, the DN3013, dynamically compatible with the DN30x2 series used in many audio devices, now offers a dynamic range of 114 dB, a low voltage power supply of 1.8 V and a power consumption of only 483 mW. The maximum output power is 12.5 W. In addition, special GUI software running on a Windows PC can easily operate a variety of DSP functions.

VirtualCoil® Technology
VirtualCoil® offers low in-band and out-band noise for audio products like speakers and earphones. The conventional Class-D amp solution uses 1-bit PWM or PDM scheme where low-noise performance is limited. In order to achieve the best noise performance in other multi-bit PWM or PDM schemes, an internal LDO and/or multiple power supply sources are required. Trigence's VirtualCoil®, using only a single, low voltage DC supply, achieves improved low-noise performance using proprietary multi-bit quantization instead of traditional 1-bit schemes.

"Trigence insists on providing audio-quality digital solutions without loss of acoustic quality. The digital speaker driver DN3013 is targeted for portable audio products where low power and small size are essential. With virtual coil technology, DN3013 improves High Dynamic Range and offers low-noise performance as multi-bit scheme," said Pete Birch, President and CEO of Trigence.

Product Features

Supports up to 32 bits of 24-bit 192 kHz input and DSP processing. Use of "VirtualCoil®" technology to extend dynamic range. Compared to the prior DN30x2 series, the dynamic range can now be increased by up to 6 dB. In headphone applications, not only a multi-coil but also a conventional single coil speaker driver can be used.

With high driver efficiency of 90% and a low-power DSP running below 10 mA the amount of heat generated by audio devices is reduced, and battery-powered lifetime is extended. In addition, by combining the 5V power supply with the peak auxiliary power supply, the speaker product can obtain a loud volume from the USB power supply.

In order to accurately process the input digital audio signal, a low jitter audio clock is generated with PLL from the I2S signal to faithfully reproduce the original sound. In addition, an evaluation board, DU1213 , including low-power USB audio controller and dedicated GUI, can easily adjust the audio effects by simply connecting to the computer via USB.

Trigence Semiconductor, Inc. is a pioneering audio IC design and solution provider, offering revolutionary 'pure digital' audio products for the consumer and IT markets. Founded in 2006 as a spin-off from Hosei University and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Trigence received its first investment in 2012 from Intel Capital.

New Book from Dyslexic Teen Fiction Author Hallie Gordon, An Accidental Residency, Explores Dark Emotions While Offering Readers Hope

Teen fiction author Hallie Gordon today announced the launch of her new book "An Accidental Residency" CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 226 pages; $7.99 paperback on Amazon. The story follows the life of Lexi Gold, a troubled 17-year-old who is grieving after the loss of her father and who is unable to express her pain. As a result, she loses herself in late-night graffiti outings searching for the perfect Manhattan rooftop to tag. Her nightly outings lead to both romance and danger as she finds herself surrounded by a crew of street artists that force her out of her comfort zone. However, a case of mistaken identity changes her life forever.

Gordon wrote the book over a three-year period starting at age 15 and refined and published the novel after graduating from high school. While "An Accidental Residency" is considered Young Adult Fiction, Gordon feels the evolution of her heroine, Lexi Gold, will touch people of all ages. Be alert to the latest news.

"Because I'm dyslexic I'm a highly visual and descriptive writer and as a result I have deeply interwoven powerful themes people of all ages will relate to personally," said Hallie Gordon. "From conquering depression, overcoming grief, discovering friendship and romance to finding hope and becoming more alive, An Accidental Residency is written in a way I hope will help the reader find their own meaning. It's meant to help them find themselves. Along Lexi Gold's journey there also is an exploration of cultural and ethnic diversity as well as art."

The new novel is a powerful accomplishment for the 18-year-old dyslexic author who previously struggled to read. Gordon's genuine love of storytelling and her own personal challenges are masterfully cultivated within the novel to both express and connect with the reader. As Gordon continues, "As an author, being dyslexic is my superpower not my disability. I feel I'm a curator of emotions, which when blended on the page through the written word, provides the reader with a highly relatable experience that I hope will be positively life changing."

In addition to Amazon, "An Accidental Residency" CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; ISBN-10: 172161429X; ISBN-13: 978-1721614295; 226 pages; is available on Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Nobles – NookPress, Smashwords, KOBO, Scribd, iBooks – Apple, and in public libraries everywhere via Overdrive.
