Back-to-School Like a Pro with Staples Canada — Home With Aneta Alaei

When it comes to back-to-school shopping I like to handle it like a pro. One stop, one shop, all of the things. Even though we have 3 kids going back-to-school this year (and a momma that loves new office gear), we still manage to find everything we need (and some things we want) at Staples Canada.

For years we have been doing our trek to Staples so that we could pick up the essentials for the whole family to go back-to-school. Whether that means a new printer, a family calendar or the whole slew of back-to-school products the kids want we always found it at Staples.

I feel like this is geared towards the teens and kids with lockers but have added the poppin tray to my desk and our kids love the Me To We gear. Plus now they can put up their pictures on the walls without me losing my mind thanks to the Fun-Tak.

Lunch time essentials that are awesome. The full line-up of Staples meal essentials is huge but my current fave is that Sistema container that will be perfect for hummas and veggies.

Justices rule for Trump administration in deportation case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can deport some people seeking asylum without allowing them to make their case to a federal judge.

The high court’s 7-2 ruling applies to people who are picked up at or near the border and who fail their initial asylum screenings, making them eligible for quick deportation, or expedited removal.

The justices ruled in the case of man who said he fled persecution as a member of Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority, but failed to persuade immigration officials that he faced harm if he returned to Sri Lanka. The man was arrested soon after he slipped across the U.S. border from Mexico.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the high-court opinion that reversed a lower-court ruling in favor of the man, Vijayakumar Thuraissigiam, who was placed in expedited removal proceedings that prohibit people who fail initial interviews from asking federal courts for much help.

Immigration officials handled Thuraissigiam’s case as a part of process Congress created “for weeding out patently meritless claims and expeditiously removing the aliens making such claims from the country,” Alito wrote.

He noted that more than three-quarters of people who sought to claim asylum in the past five years passed their initial screening and qualified for full-blown review.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer agreed with the outcome in this case, but did not join Alito’s opinion.

In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “Today’s decision handcuffs the Judiciary’s ability to perform its constitutional duty to safeguard individual liberty.” She was joined by Justice Elena Kagan.

Lee Gelernt, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who argued the case in the Supreme Court, said the outcome will make it hard to question the actions of immigration officials at the U.S. border. “This decision will impact potentially tens of thousands of people at the border who will not be able to seek review of erroneous denials of asylum,” Gelernt said.

Since 2004, immigration officials have targeted for quick deportation undocumented immigrants who are picked up within 100 miles of the U.S. border and within 14 days of entering the country. The Trump administration is seeking to expand that authority so that people detained anywhere in the U.S. and up to two years after they got here could be quickly deported.

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court threw out a trial judge’s ruling that had blocked the expanded policy. Other legal issues remain to be resolved in the case.

The administration has made dismantling the asylum system a centerpiece of its immigration agenda, saying it is rife with abuse and overwhelmed by meritless claims. Changes include making asylum-seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration court, denying asylum to anyone on the Mexican border who passes through another country without first seeking protection there, and flying Hondurans and El Salvadorans to Guatemala with an opportunity to seek asylum there instead of the U.S.

On Monday, the Trump administration published sweeping new procedural and substantive rules that would make it much more difficult to get asylum, triggering a 30-day period for public comment before they can take effect.

The United States became the world’s top destination for asylum-seekers in 2017, according to UN figures, many of them Mexican and Central American families fleeing endemic violence.

Associated Press writer Elliott Spagat in San Diego contributed to this report.

Space Available Design Studio and techno DJ Peggy Gough have teamed up to create a chair with built-in vinyl storage that’s made from 20kg of recycled plastic waste.

Assembled together without the use of screws, staples or glue, the structure consists entirely of high density polyethylene (HDPE) packaging collected from the streets and waterways of Indonesia.

The country is the second largest plastic producer in the ocean after China.Only 10 percent of the 6.8 million tonnes of plastic waste generated here each year is ultimately recycled.

“Garbage everywhere, on the streets and in rivers, is heartbreaking,” said Daniel Mitchell, creative director of Potato Head, who founded Space Available in the midst of last year’s coronavirus isolation.

“This is not people’s fault, just very little structural support, garbage collection or education.Households are allowed to dispose of their own waste, and most of it ends up in rivers or burns. ”

Mitchell, who lives on the Indonesian island of Bali, has partnered with Gough to bring attention to this growing issue through design.

“The goal was to create an everyday object that can start a conversation and induce awareness and change,” Mitchell explained.

The chair itself has a vinyl storage compartment under the seat, as a tribute to Gow’s growing personal collection, and a hypnotic spiral pattern that is manually rolled into molten plastic before it has time to harden and turn into sheets.

“Then we use these sheets like wood and we work with local Balinese craftsmen who make the chairs by hand in their workshop,” he explained.

The final chair can be assembled without traditional fixings or glue, simply by using the plastic cuttings obtained from the sheet-cutting process as welding rods.

Melted with a heat gun, they bond the various components together in a method that Mitchell claims is waste-free and allows the entire chair to be recycled at the end of its life.

“This is the method that Max Lamb showed us in a previous project,” he explained.

“The chair is made from only one material, which is very important for recycling. When too many materials are mixed, product recycling usually becomes difficult. ”

While recycling already created plastics is vital, Mitchell argues that banning single-use plastics is the only real solution to the global waste crisis.

“Western countries send most of their garbage here or elsewhere across Asia, they just dump it under the rug,” he said.

“I think banning single-use plastics is the only way at this stage. But it will be very difficult to implement and there is no immediate replacement within the existing system, ”added Mitchell.

“Awareness is growing, but corporations and governments must take responsibility.”

A multitude of other designers have created recycled plastic seating designs in an effort to reduce or at least raise awareness of the 300 million tonnes of plastic waste generated worldwide.

While Tom Robinson used e-waste such as old laptops to create his Evolve chair, South Korean designer Hanyeol Kim made a stool from discarded face masks, and Norwegian brand Vestre used ocean plastic to create the Coast Bench.

Construction staples

Fasteners – such as construction shackles, bolts, nuts, screws, studs, angle brackets, fastening brackets, fastening plates, etc. – are always used for the installation of metal structures. Fasteners such as building brackets, corners and plates, anchors are very common types of building fasteners.

The dimensions of fasteners and their profile are made based on the conditions of provision:

• strength and rigidity of the structure, taking into account possible eccentricities when applied loads
• strength and ease of making welded joints
• placement of connecting plates and assembly seams
• positions of products during installation, taking into account permissible deviations
• ease of fixing fasteners

LLC “KOMPLEKT EURASIA” produces various fastening and construction brackets, using for this metal rolling from its own warehouse at St. Petersburg, Volkhonskoe shosse, d.4.

Construction shackle diagram:

Staples are made, as a rule, from a smooth or corrugated round bar by hot or cold forging, from steel grade St3PS / SP, St20.

Any construction associated with the assembly of wooden houses or a wooden bath requires the use of fasteners, strengthening the crowns and the entire rafter system. For these purposes, construction brackets are used. Construction brackets are made of ordinary quality carbon steels, sometimes hardened steels.Staples come in different sizes in width and thickness. The most popular staple size is 250 mm. Less commonly, 300 mm staples are used. The thickness of the construction brace depends on the load that it must withstand. It is quite difficult to build a wooden house without using construction brackets. The staples are a dressing and a safety belt in the rafter system. Also, construction brackets are necessary when fastening the ends of the walls of wooden houses from a bar and a cylindrical log. In log houses chopped with an ax, the use of construction brackets is mandatory.

We produce construction brackets of the following standard sizes:

In the manufacture of fastening brackets, a smooth or corrugated circle is used, from stock, or on order.

How to Upholster Chairs with Plastic – Residential Building

Contents:

Sticky fingers, spilled food, and common casual clothing can damage upholstered dining chairs.You can still enjoy the stylish design without fear of stains by covering the seats with clear vinyl plastic. The thick plastic found in fabric stores for sewing or tablecloth covers is strong enough to withstand tears and damage. Most dining chairs only have a fabric-covered seat, making the upholstery process easier so you can finish your entire dining set in noon.

1

Turn the chair upside down and remove the screws holding the chair base in place.Remove the seat from the chair frame, retaining the screws for later reinstallation.

2

Pull out the staples holding the old fabric in place. Remove the fabric so that only padding remains on each chair seat.

3

Measure the height of the bottom and padding of the chair seat. Lay the chair on top of the replacement fabric and wrap it around, adding 1 inch plus cushion height on all sides so there is enough excess fabric to wrap around the seat. Cut the clear plastic to the same size.

4

Lay the fabric over the chair, wrapping the raised edges towards the underside of the chair. Turn the seat over so that the bottom of the seat is facing up. Staple the fabric to the seat along one edge, then pull it tight and staple the opposite end. Repeat the same for the other two edges. Fold the corners by folding and staple them to keep them straight. Attach the plastic over the fabric in the same way.

5

Trim off excess plastic and fabric to avoid thickening.Place the seat cushion on the chair and screw it back on.

Dxracer Racing Series OH / RV001 Gaming Chair Review and Rating –

DXRacer is a big name in gaming chairs, and the Racing Series is among the most affordable and affordable, with prices ranging from $ 299 to $ 399. We tested the OH / RV001 for $ 369. It’s comfortable, sturdy and even lets you lean back if you want to read a book or take a nap between games.However, it’s not the most durable or luxurious gaming chair we’ve seen, and you can find alternatives with thicker padding or thicker faux leather for a fair price, like the Editor’s Choice SecretLab Titan.

Colors & Capacities

The Racing Series seat we tested is available in seven different colors: black, blue, green, orange, purple, red and white. Each version has a mostly black body, with your chosen color along the sides of the back and seat of the chair.

Putting It Together

Assembling the Racing Series Chair is a simple process that is functionally identical to any other gaming chair we’ve tested so far. It comes disassembled in a large cardboard box divided into a seat with pre-attached armrests, backrest, top base, wheelbase, five wheels, a pneumatic cylinder and some plastic handles and accents. It helps to have an extra set of arms, but after a few tries I was able to assemble these chairs on my own with some struggle.

First you need to unscrew the four bolts on the sides of the back of the chair. Place the chair back against the metal brackets on the chair seat and twist them together using the supplied allen wrench to tighten them. Turn the seat over and screw the top base to the bottom of the seat. Insert the five wheels into their mountings on the wheel base, then place the air cylinder in the center of the base with the plastic covers folded over it.Place the top of the cylinder into the top base and set the chair upright. After that, all you have to do is press the two plastic blades against the metal rods on the top base to give you levers for adjustment, and screw the plastic covers on the sides of the back to protect and hide the braces that connect the back to the seat.,

The armchair is also supplied with two rectangular cushions with elastic bands for attaching to the backrest. The smaller pillow serves as a headrest and slides easily over the top.The large pillow provides additional lumbar support and is secured by two long straps that can be wrapped around your back.

materials

Racing Series chair covered with a combination of polyurethane (PU) synthetic leather and vinyl. The black and blue model we tested has blue PU leather on the sides and black PU leather in the back, with a vinyl texture to look like carbon fiber weave on the seat and as accents on the back. The leatherette and vinyl look pretty tough and cool to the touch, but aren’t as flexible as the leatherette used in AKRacing Max or RapidX Carbon Line chairs, or feel as tight and durable as the SecretLab leatherette in their Titan.chair.

Made of imitation leather and vinyl, sometimes foamed lining. The seat of the chair is nice and sturdy, and the part that your back falls into has some decent support, but the rest of the chair clearly has a lot of open cavities under the material, with the padding wrapped around the metal frame rather than completely filling the back.This is especially noticeable on the headrest, which gives too much if you do not want to use the removable cushion. It’s still comfortable, but the lack of a dense padding all over the back raises questions about the chair’s durability, especially when compared to the SecretLab Titan, which is almost entirely filled with cold-cure foam padding with few visible cavities.

adjustments

You can adjust the height and angle of the chair at various points using a variety of settings.Like most office chairs, you can use the right paddle on the underside to adjust the seat height, 19, 25 to 22 inches above the ground. The entire chair also tilts backward up to 14 degrees and can be locked in position (along with the height) by flipping the left paddle down on the base. If leaning back is not enough for you, a lever behind the right armrest allows you to tilt further back relative to the seat, adjusting the seat up to 135 degrees. It’s not exactly flat, but deep enough to make it easier for you to take a nap than to look at the TV or monitor.

The rubber-coated PU armrests are also adjustable and can be set 25.5 to 31.5 inches off the ground by pulling a lever on the outside of each lever. They can also slide back and forth through 2.5-inch spacing and can pivot in and out up to 15 degrees each way (although the armrests will remain flat regardless of the yaw adjustment).

Conclusions

The DXRacer Racing Series OH / RV001 is a comfortable, functional chair that allows you to comfortably recline between long gaming sessions.However, its PU leather and vinyl shell doesn’t look as pliable or thick as we would like, and its frame is only softly padded and not stuffed with an abundance of foam. This is a good chair on its own, but compared to the very dense and thick construction of the SecretLab Titan chosen by our editor, it is not that impressive.
