After entering The Wolfsonian-FIU’s lobby table design challenge (Six Components [and a handful of screws]), Nick Gelpi/Gelpi Projects won the competition by popular vote with its Bending Table. This work by Gelpi Projects was produced by College of Architecture + The Arts’ Nick Gelpi, Assistant Professor and undergraduate students Julia Sarduy, Claudia Fernandez, and Monica Cordera.
For the competition, The Wolfsonian-FIU asked designers to produce an eco-friendly lobby table of sustainable materials that is based on Thonet’s iconic 214 chair. Additionally, the table must have room for twenty-four Thonet 214 chairs, and the table, like the chair, must have six components that are easily assembled using only a handful of screws. The winner of this design competition, Bending Table, will now be housed in the lobby of the institution, as a way to encourage socialization and the enjoyment of art and design in the museum.
For more information on Bending Table by Nick Gelpi/Gelpi Projects, visit The Wolfsonian-FIU’s website by clicking here.
The reception for the unveiling of Nick Gelpi/Gelpi Projects’s Bending Table will take place on Friday, February 7th, 2014 at 7PM at The Wolfsonian-FIU: 1001 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Free and open to the public. RSVP by emailing erin@thewolf.fiu.edu.

CLEP has become quite popular in the homeschool community. You may be wondering, “What is CLEP?” Should I consider it for my child? In this post, College Prep: CLEP or Not? I’ll share the upside and downside of CLEP in college admissions.
CLEP is a test created by the College Board to assess college level knowledge of a subject. It’s called the College Level Examination Program. Essentially, if your child knows a subject well enough to pass the test, he can earn college credit for that subject.
When is CLEP a good option?
If your child is highly motivated and eager to pursue an advanced degree that requires a bachelors degree as a first step, CLEP exams can jump start your child’s education. In some cases, your child can earn his entire degree through CLEP. I met a young man who earned his degree at eighteen through CLEP exams. He then applied to Houston Law School and was admitted after a lengthy interview. However, the school had concerns about his ability to handle an actual college class. He struggled and admits he should have taken a few classroom courses before starting law school. In the end, however, he ended up doing well in his law classes.
If the university your child is most interested in attending accepts CLEP credit, CLEP can be a great option because it’s both cost and time effective. A bright and motivated student can CLEP a lot of classes in a short period of time—garnering lots of college credits and saving a ton of money.
When is CLEP not a good option?
Many rigorous universities do not recognize CLEP. My daughter passed a CLEP exam and earned a score that typically garners six hours of English credit. However, only one of the universities she wished to attend would accept the credits. Be sure to check whether or not the schools your child is interested in accept CLEP credits to ensure you don’t end up wasting valuable time and money pursuing CLEP. Do a search for CLEP on the university’s website. The admissions department will have a list of the exams they accept.
Earning a bachelor’s degree through CLEP is not the best option for most students. The college experience offers much more than a degree. Your child will find like minded friends, begin lifelong relationships, learn independence and self awareness, and build networks that will increase his employment opportunities. He will most likely have the chance at many interesting and varied internships and study abroad programs and will gain wisdom and life skills through the multitude of opportunities and experiences college life affords. Your child will miss many of these benefits if he chooses to pursue college at home.
One worldwide lament is how difficult it is to make friends after college. A person’s college friends are typically true and lifelong friends. It is in the unique setting of a college campus that your child will learn who he is and what it is God wants him to do with his life. This is why I recommend CLEP only for garnering credits before entering college or earning a degree if one already has a career path in place.
Aside from this, I have heard of many adults finally earning their degree by CLEP. Kudos to them!
Once you decide CLEP is the right option for your child, you’ll need to research where your child can take the tests. Most community colleges and universities have testing centers where you can take a CLEP exam. My daughter went to our local community college and registered there, sat down alone in a room full of computers, took the exam, and got her score immediately. It was that easy! Learn more about registering for an exam; and look online for CLEP exam study guides. There are many out there.
It can be overwhelming wading through the various college preparation options. But remember, the Lord has already marked out the path that is best for your child. Ask Him for clear direction when making these important decisions. He will give you and your child the wisdom to make the right choice.
Thank you for this tip, Jeannie! I am saving this information.
This is our first year homeschooling a high schooler. Even we have been homeschooled for years, it felt like we need to learn everything all over again. So so blessed to read all your post regarding all high school homeschooling.
From what I have gathered, it is easier to get an associates degree and transfer it in than it is to transfer more than 12 – 15 CLEP hours. So…. something to consider! Thanks for the post. Pinned it to the Hip Homeschool Moms' High School Pinterest Board.
Thanks for the CLEP information and for the chance to win Transcripts Made Easy. I wouldn't know where to start and will need this information for next school year!
Oh my…I'm SO scared of transcripts. Like terrified!
Let me also state that most colleges have a whole testing center devoted to testing out of courses instead of taking them. It does cost money to test out of a course. However, the fee is nominal.
Typically, a college does not require you to pay for credits earned through CLEP.
Have you heard of schools requiring that you pay for the credits you earn through CLEP? I spoke with a couple of moms who said Purdue University does but haven't heard or read that anywhere else and haven't been able to confirm if that's common. When we narrow down our college choices, I will ask them specifically, but I'm looking for a general answer.

The rapid development of urban areas does serve us in many way but it also takes a heavy toll on the environment and ourselves alike. We are forced to see nature as something so distant and novel, and in no way this does any good. However, architects can help us find a workaround to this daunting problem.
The advantages of interacting with and seeing nature are beyond technical benefits. It is the connection with other forms of living elevates our spirit.
By changing the way we design cities and buildings to connect to rather than disconnect from nature, we can change our proximity to nature and shift our physical relationship to the environment.
In fact, many architect firms have created designs that bring us back to nature. Their work ranges from schools to workplaces.
The world will no doubt experience a drastic change if architecture projects steer toward conservation, ecological concerns, sustainability and the beauty and fragility of the earth.

on july 2015 the #dsi2015 symposium opened with a hakaactivation session with jack gray (read more about the opening session here). as part of this participants were asked to capture and share the questions that they brought with them to dsi.
this activity was our first introduction to each other, and helped to give shape to the diversity of perspectives, experiences and sectors in the room. it also helped us to name both similar and different tensions people are sitting with at the intersection of design, social and impact.

Our heavenly Father, we acknowledge our ingratitude when we have taken your goodness for granted, when the heaven has poured forth rain and the earth has produced its fruit.
Yet now we cry to you for help, as the drought in New South Wales deepens.
Have mercy on our land; have mercy on the people of the land. May your bountiful hand send forth rain upon our parched earth.
Fulfil your promises that while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest shall not cease, so that those in remote and rural areas may find relief from their distress and glorify your name for the provision of their needs.
We ask this in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

With Irma churning in the Atlantic, it looks like a hit on Florida is a given which means now is a great time to learn how to file a hurricane claim Delray Beach FL style. The first step is always to know exactly what your coverage is – keeping in mind that flooding is not covered under a homeowners’ policy but rather through separate flood insurance purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program. Your insurance policy documents are as important as birth certificates, car titles, deeds, and other documents that are essential to establishing your identity and/or ownership of property. Of course, during the storm, the number one priority is safety.
After the storm, your first call is to your insurance company. The adjuster will walk through how to file a hurricane claim Delray Beach FL homeowners can rely on. Once you’ve made the first call, document as much of the damage as possible, while remaining safe and avoiding downed power lines and other hazards. Consider taking video as well since pictures may not provide the full picture of the scope of the damage. Make necessary repairs to prevent further damage, if necessary, and if the structure is inhabitable, be sure to give the adjustor your new temporary address.
While you are learning how to file a hurricane claim Delray Beach FL style, keep in mind that you will likely have a special and separate “hurricane deductible” which can range from two to 10 percent of the insured value of your home. No matter the amount of the deductible, it is solely your responsibility. And, remember that insurance companies do not typically pay for debris removal that is on your property that does not cause damage.
At the same time that you are working with the insurance company, you should also keep your attorney apprised of the status of your claim, particularly if your insurance company is slow to act, defers payments, or is otherwise being unreasonably difficult. Of course, document, document, document all interactions with your insurance company as well as possible, down to times and dates when you speak to agents or adjusters.
A claims attorney is also a great source of information on how to file a hurricane claim Delray Beach FL homeowners can use to realize the best return. The attorney can advise you on steps to take when dealing with the insurance company and if necessary, can go to bat in negotiating a good settlement of your claim when the time comes.

“The gutters would get choked with all sorts of garbage. Even if we dumped the garbage in the container provided for it, animals and vermin would rummage through it and scatter it all over. In the rains it would be a nightmare as even the drains within the house would get flooded and we would get awful blackish sludge across our floors. My little one had no place to play or sit. Everything would be damp, stinking and we would fall sick”, she says, describing how mismanaged waste sets off several chain reactions.
For a minuscule user fee of just over a Re. 1 a day, waste collectors come six days a week to your doorstep and take the wet and dry waste away.
As per the Swachh Bharat urban government norms and the Union government’s 2016 SWM Rules, Urban Local Bodies in all cities are expected to select a suitable operator who will be eligible to undertake ‘door-to-door collection’ (DTDC) and transportation of municipal solid waste up to secondary collection points. DTDC is universally accepted as a highly efficient way of managing waste.
The first step in the implementation is awareness, says Sandhya Dhamale, a Zone coordinator for SWaCH.
“The educated middle class and elite have some idea about waste and the need to dispose of it in an environmentally safe manner. But in slums, the day-to-day issues like jobs and lack of employment obscure issues like waste management, though it impacts them the most. We have to start with education which itself is an uphill task as it is often not possible to get everyone together at one time.
We have had several rallies, street plays and door-to-door engagements. All this has lead to a measurable impact wherein slum residents have commenced segregation and stopped littering”.
Plus there is the low fee, in this case, Rs 35 a month, or a rupee a day. “The benefits of having better surroundings and a cleaner, more sanitary environment with fewer chances of debilitating illnesses like dengue, malaria and diarrhoea etc. should be obvious. The money spent on medical bills would warrant them paying much more than a rupee a day,” says Suman More, who has been waste picking all her life and currently is the president of SWaCH.
A detailed study from 2011 shows that 32.5% residents of Pune live in slums – amounting to almost 2,11,423 families. In the past year, concerted efforts have led to over a third of this population, some 70,000 homes, being covered.
With a mix of the carrot and the threat of a penalty stick, he motivates his team at the municipality and works with the door-to-door collection agency, SWaCH to ensure the system works.
“Not only have we succeeded in removing the bins in Jai Bhavani Nagar which had over 1800 homes, but we have also been able to provide a sorting and material recovery shed to waste pickers in that very same spot where the messy overflowing bin used to be. SWaCH helped create awareness and swiftly set up a system of waste collection, which we as municipal authority enforced.
On the list of smart cities, Pune has proven that it is ahead in the game by making a difference to several issues with just one strike against unsanitary slum conditions.
“I worry a little less about my family and me falling prey to diseases and losing wages to sick days. I see fewer stray animals and insects as they have nothing to scavenge from. The waste collector in our basti is from among us so understands what we go through and as interested in keeping our surroundings clean. We also feel pride in knowing that we contribute to keeping our surroundings clean,” says Rajni Salunke.
There may be a reason to be even more proud soon, says Suman More of SWaCH. Assigned the task of providing door-to-door waste collection services to all the slum homes in Pune, SWaCH, which is wholly owned by waste pickers themselves, is putting its entire might to complete the task in another year.

It’s filled with iridescent flakies, and metallic flakies that shift purple or green with the green shift being the strongest of the the two, to mimic the effect of an antique stained glass window.

Fire Pits: Bad Rap or Death-Trap?
Fire pits can be a fun outdoor activity in the chillier months of the year. With the holiday season approaching, roasting marshmallows over a fire seems like a very appealing activity that can fun for both adults and children. According to a recent survey, 67% of homeowners said they wanted an outdoor fire to keep parties going as the night air gets nippy. However, fire pits can be very dangerous to homeowners and the environment, especially if they are not properly tended. The United States Fire Administration reports that approximately 5,000 Americans are injured by charcoal, wood-burning or propane gas fires. Fire pits are included among this statistic and come with many safety risks. While we recommend avoiding the fire pit scenario all together, many of you will continue to fuel the fire pit regardless of the warning signs. If you insist on burning, here are some tips to do so safely and some reasons why fire pits have earned their well-deserved bad rap!
Fire Pits: Why The Bad Rap?
So why are fire pits getting such a bad rap lately? According to the United States Fire Administration, in less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire.
The excess of smoke can sometimes lead to lung irritation and have additional environmental concerns. Fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you drowsy, disoriented and short of breath. The Maine Bureau of Air Quality recommends using only seasoned firewood and burning it in a way that promotes complete combustion—small, hot fires are better than large smoldering ones—to minimize the amount of harmful smoke.
We understand that while the reasons are very clear for why you should avoid the fire pit scenario all together, many people insist on burning one this holiday season. For this reason, we have provided some safety guidelines so that your experience will be a safe one! Following certain safety precautions can help reduce your chances of injuries. Use these tips to keep your friendly fire from getting out of control.
Station your fire pit on a level ceramic, concrete, stone or brick surface that’s at least 10 feet from your house, trees, and anything flammable. Don’t put the fire pit on a grassy surface, wood deck, or enclosed porch. Before you light anything on fire, check which direction the wind is blowing to ensure the right location for your fire pit.
Never start a fire with kerosine, alcohol, lighter fluid, or gas. Discard used matches only after they are completely extinguished. Try dipping matches in a cup of water before discarding them to be sure they are completely out. Always burn dry, seasoned wood that was cut at least six months earlier. To keep sparks from flying, make sure logs are no longer than three-quarters of the pit’s diameter.
Be prepared! Keep a bucket of sand, a fire extinguisher, or a garden hose nearby in case things get too hot to handle. Additionally, if any cuts or burns were to occur, be sure you have a first-aid kit handy!
Supervise children at all times when using a fire pit. Teach your children about the dangers of fire and do not leave them unattended by the open flame. Having children sit further back than 3 feet is important, as sparks can still fly from the fire into the open air and cause minor burns and injuries.
Be sure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving it unattended. However, just in case something near or on your house were to catch on fire, it is important to always have a working smoke detector in every home. Consider a monitored smoke alarm from Protect America.
If you’re using a propane gas fire pit you’re going to want to check and make sure that you don’t have any leaks before you start your fire. If an emergency does occur make sure you turn off the gas supply if possible as soon as possible. You should clean your burners and pipes regularly to avoid build up and keep the fire area clear of clutter. Do not add any lighter fluid, gasoline, paper, or any other flammable materials to your propane gas fire pit.
In some places prone to wildfire, disclosing your fire pit may be a requirement of your homeowners insurance policy. It may also be a good idea to check in with an insurance agent to understand any potential impact a fire pit may have on your coverage. Also, be sure to contact your local fire department or municipality to determine if there are any laws against having a fire pit in your backyard. Some counties and cities have laws that prohibit open flames in backyards, and others require your home to be inspected for general safety hazards. Protect America encourages everyone to use and maintain their smoke detectors and remember to be safe this holiday season!
