PPM is the series of sturdy, reliable and efficient Faccin hydraulic dishing presses for mass production of dished ends or plate forming in general. The PPM designed and built by Faccin are hydraulic presses suited to dished head crowning, featuring an exclusive design with the top and bottom beam connected by two uprights. The portal frame is connected by two hydraulic protensioned tie-rods that guarantee the maximum resistance and elasticity to the structure in order to resist fatigue. Thanks to the exclusive HPT system utilising two solid forged tie rods (permanently preloaded) to keep the frame connected, a PPM dishing press is able to minimise frame deformation, guaranteeing longer life and reliability.
Faccin can also offer cheaper solutions to manufacture dished heads and tanks. In these lines for dished heads, the frame is connected to the upper beam with keys machined on the structure or just welded to the structure in single monolithic pieces.
The presses are equipped with a set of dies of various radii in order to form different sizes and types of dished ends. The material and the shape of the dies is the result of Faccin’s more than 40 years of experience in manufacturing such machines.
The dishing process is a rather slow process where the plate is pressed several times between the dies. A good dishing press must be fast and this is why the Faccin PPM dishing presses are equipped with an advanced hydraulic system capable of guaranteeing the fastest movement of the main cylinder, which means minimal dishing time.
The PPM Hydraulic Dishing Presses are available in various sizes: to choose the exact size, you need to calculate the dimension of the largest development of the metal plate to be processed, then you may decide the distance between the uprights. An important feature of the press is the force available, which normally determines the ideal range of thickness.
Faccin manufactures presses from 150 tons of force up to more than 3,000 tons, covering all the needs of the market.
Faccin also offers effective handling systems designed to allow for accurate positioning of the plate under the dies of the hydraulic dishing presses. Faccin’s automatic manipulators in the MA range assure high quality and offer several advantages. By using the automatic manipulators for dished heads, it is possible to optimise production, saving time and processing several plates at once.
The PPM dishing presses, together with the automatic manipulator, can be handled with a numerical control that manages all the movements synchronized. It is also capable of handling completely automatic dishing cycles.This is an interior design for a big house designed by MLK Studio and Belzberg Architects. The house is a 10,000 square foot main residence with a 2,000 square foot guesthouse. For the furniture, MLK Studio supply custom designed furniture from MLK Studio itself. They use the neutral elements with mixing textures, make the sophisticated design with depth and layers elements. For the materials, they use walnut hardwood for the floor, calacatta marble and high gloss cabinetry for the kitchen, also Turkish limestone walls for the master bathroom. Here are some photos of this interior design for a big house in Los Angeles, California.THREES is a tiny puzzle that grows on you. You can play it forever and it'll always be in your pocket.

With a great deal of help and support fromDepression comes in many forms, says Nashville-based therapist Chuck Sugar, but none have to be faced alone. Here, the Licensed Professional Counselor answers common questions about depressive disorders.
Q: What is depression?
Chuck Sugar: Depression is an overwhelming sense of despair and hopelessness that doesn’t go away. It interferes with one’s daily life as well as relationships.
Q: How common is depression?
Chuck Sugar: There is really no way to quantify the actual number of cases, since many people who suffer from one form of depression or another never seek treatment.
Q: So there is more than one form of depression?
Chuck Sugar: Yes, there are several: major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorders, bipolar, psychotic, postpartum, and seasonal affective disorder.
Q: What characterizes major depression?
Chuck Sugar: This is when the depression is so pronounced that it interferes with life in general. It may be hard for those suffering to eat, sleep, check the mail, or even get dressed in the morning...
Q: How long does persistent depressive disorder last?
Chuck Sugar: At least two years but this can occur with times of lessening symptoms so it may be harder to diagnose.
Q: When does postpartum depression begin?
Chuck Sugar: Usually within days after giving birth. It is a heartbreaking condition that may prevent a mother from bonding with her baby in the critical, formative early stages of development.
Q: What are some telltale signs of seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?
Chuck Sugar: SAD is characterized by periodic times of depression, always in the winter months when there isn’t as much sunlight.
Q: Does it go away in the spring?
Chuck Sugar: Yes, a person who is experiencing seasonal affective disorder will be fine once the sun comes out and the flowers start to bloom, but the cycle will typically repeat and re-occur in the following winter.
Q: What is psychotic depression?
Chuck Sugar: This is a terrifying form of depression that presents with delusions or hallucinations. People suffering this may have difficulty distinguishing what is real from what isn’t.
Q: Is bipolar disorder common?
Chuck Sugar: Despite popular belief – beliefs perpetuated by the media – bipolar (formerly called manic depression) isn’t as common as other forms of depression, but I see clients with bipolar depression on a regular basis.
Q: In general, can you explain what causes depression?
Chuck Sugar: Depression may be caused by a combination of situational, genetic, environmental, biological, and physiological factors.
Q: How helpful is depression counseling?
Chuck Sugar: I have found that depression counseling can be extremely helpful, particularly for those individuals who feel shut down and isolated. In my practice, I use Cognitive Therapy a lot for depression. In particular, I use Cognitive Restructuring where I help my clients identify their distorted (untrue) thoughts and beliefs about themselves. I then help them learn how to retrain their brain to start processing negative thoughts and beliefs differently. I have seen major successes with this type of therapy in clients struggling with depression. It’s really exciting to see someone come in with no hope and leave with a meaningful life. The skills they learn in therapy become a tool for them to use throughout their life when issues come up in the future.
Q: What is the primary goal of working with a therapist?
Chuck Sugar: To regain hope and discover a feeling of purpose again. Also, a goal would be to sleep better, eat more healthily, and have meaningful relationships.
How could this impact Katapult’s work?
There’s a new, groundbreaking graphics card on the market. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, released earlier this August, is set to completely transform the way Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is rendered.
Let’s start with a bit of background into how we’ve been creating 3D graphics up to now, and find out how this is going to impact us.
Computer generated imagery has advanced massively in the last 10 years, particularly with a rendering technology known within the industry as ‘Ray Tracing’. In as simple terms as possible, Ray tracing works by tracing the path of a light ray as it bounces around a scene.
The technique is capable of producing a very high degree of visual realism in computer images however, it has traditionally been very expensive in terms of the computer ‘power’ needed. In the past and even still today, we need lots of computers to contribute to the rendering to produce a single, high resolution and high-quality image. These computers rely on their CPU processor chips (basically the ‘brains’ of any computer).
When it comes to producing Ray Traced high-quality images and animations, even with a lot of powerful computers with lots of CPU’s inside, render times can still take hours per image. With animation, in particular, there are 25 ‘frames’ or images per second that need to be rendered to produce the footage.
Over the last 5 years, in particular, the advancement in GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) technology has meant there is now a viable alternative to CPU’s for rendering Ray Traced quality imagery. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics and image processing, and their highly parallel structure makes them more efficient than general-purpose CPUs for algorithms
