t see it. Air aids moisture, thousands of gasses, snow, rain, heat, dust and dirt.
It is important to ventilate your attic because air flow can minimize a myriad of problems. If your home lacks proper ventilation you may be at risk for mold, rotting decks, ice dams and increased home cooling costs. Air ventilation is critical to the performance of a roofing system and the interior comfort of a home, maintaining a cooler attic in the summer and a dryer attic in winter.
While it is tempting to assume that any and all ventilation is good ventilation, it would be a mistake to mix roof ventilation systems. Each vent type (box, slant-back and turbine) is designed to move air flow differently through the attic. Mixing vents may cause a short circuit in the system, negatively affecting the air flow passage which can lead to weather infiltration and increased energy bills. However, this does not mean you can’t add to the existing ventilation system. You can increase the intake or exhaust in the attic by adding additional vents of the same type. You cannot over ventilate the attic space as long as you adhere to the 1:300 rule and meet the minimum requirements for a balanced system - 50% intake and 50% exhaust.
The secret to an effective ventilation system is to create a balance. This allows hot air to escape and your roof to breathe by ensuring the air flow has a steady way to enter (intake) and exit (exhaust) the roof. You can prolong the life of your roof by properly installing something like the Quarrix StormStop Ridge Vent on the ridge and hip of your roof, which can keep attics cool and dry by creating a well-balanced air flow that allows your attic to breathe. Ask your contractor for advice on the best practices to use to maintain good ventilation this balance.
Any preconceptions you might have about the fluffiness or vacuity of people working in the fashion arena would be quickly dispelled after spending any time with Nicky Clarke. I spent a delightful hour or so with Nicky and his partner Kelly shooting his hands and chatting about the world of photography, and of course hair. He has styled the hair of more A list people than you care to count, and worked with some of the world’s greatest photographers. You don’t get an OBE for asking people where they’re going on holiday. I’m very grateful to him for his time, and being so enormously helpful with the Show of Hands project – he’s put me in touch with some fabulous people.Disclaimer: Like any DeFi project, Algogems comes with risks.

We have a fun one for you today. We’re going to take a look at Algogems, a NFT platform that allows users to mint & list an NFT directly from their phone. We’re not going to lie, we were surprised by how easy it was.
In fact, it was so easy we were able to fit the guide in a twitter thread!
In this quick and easy guide, we’ll cover what Algogems is, how to mint & list your first NFT from your phone, and of course how to generate passive income while doing it!
What is Algogems?
Algogems is an open NFT marketplace with a user-friendly UI that enables artists to mint, auction, and list their NFTs for relatively free. While other NFT platforms often charge hefty fees to mint & list NFTs, Algogems charges 0.001 ALGO for minting, bidding, selling, auctioning, or buying NFTs.
With that being said, Algogems provides users with an option to mint NFTs for free by allowing Algogems to act as the creator wallet (to cover fees) while users act as the manager wallet to collect all proceeds & royalties (minus fees). This is a great tool for users who don’t have access to ALGO to get a jump start. Pretty cool, right?
Gov Tip: To learn more about the differences between creator and manager wallets, check out the official Algorand developer documentation here.
But that’s not even the best part! GEM stakers will receive a portion of Algogem’s profits after a 3-month (13 weeks) staking period, providing users with a continuous passive income stream. Governance rewards will be paid out in GEMS and the APY will be based on an individual’s level of participation in Governance.
In addition to the above, GEMS can be used to boost artists in two different ways. Users can tip artists GEMS to provide them with a spotlight boost (i.e. being featured on the homepage), and artists can hold GEMS to provide themselves with that spotlight boost (i.e. the more GEMS an artist holds, the more their work is boosted).
GEMS holders will also get exclusive benefits during Algogems’ special events, lotteries, exclusive drops, and of course fee reductions. GEMS also provides holders with early access to projects, and even increases their chances of getting rare NFTs.
You can take a peek at their full roadmap below.
Go to www.algogems.io & connect your wallet by clicking the lock icon in the upper right. Select the wallet app you’re using & then select the address you’d like to mint your NFT from. You’ll then be prompted to select your wallet address on Algogems to confirm your selection.
Once you’ve connected your wallet, you will immediately be able to upload a file and begin the minting process. We decided to mint a photograph one of us took on a recent vacation in New York City.
To begin the minting process, select ‘Click to Upload’ and then choose the photo you’d like to mint & select ‘Choose’. When you’re finished select ‘Let’s Go!’ to continue.
Disclaimer: Depending on how big your phone screen is, it may be difficult to complete the next step because the screen can get cut off. If you find it hard to read, it may be best to switch over to a tablet. However, we didn’t need to make this switch ourselves.
Once you’re ready to proceed, you’ll want to name your NFT, provide a description of it (optional), and then set a royalty. You know we love passive income at the Club, so we’ve set the royalty to the max allowed (10% of future sales). When you’re ready select ‘Mint NFT’.
Gov Tip: To proceed with a zero-cost minting, select ‘Mint for free?’ from the options on this screen. As a reminder, this will set Algogems as the creator and you as the manager.
When prompted, sign the transaction (0.001A fee) to confirm the minting. Once minted, you will have the option to put it up for auction or to sell it. We decided to sell it, and to do the same you’ll need to select ‘View My NFT’. On the next screen, select ‘Sell’ to list your NFT.
Next, input the price you want to list it at. We went with a modest 5A for the Club’s first NFT. Choose ‘Submit’ to begin the process of uploading your NFT to the Algorand ledger.
Gov Tip: This can take a bit of time, and it can also freeze up, so you may need to refresh and try again.
And that’s it! How easy was that, gov?
