![]() It is a chain but much smaller than Home Depot or Lowe's. I went to my local small hardware store, Pleasant's hardware. Well, I was thoroughly justified in putting off installing this shelf for so long. I did not expect this to get so long winded, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.After two years, I finally decided to tackle the IKEA LACK shelf. And in this video he uses 5/8" metal rods which support his body weight. He manages to get a shelf that craps out somewhere between 200 and 250 lbs. In this one he tries out solid oak dowels, dados, and some seriously beefy screws. While checking out Andy's video, I came across Rusty Dobbs, who also has an interest in creating rock solid floating shelves he builds his own and tests various construction methods. I'm too far down the rabbit hole now, but you don't have to continue with me if going outside the (big) box (store) doesn't interest you. Even if you can manage to attach the brackets to multiple studs, there is a chance that the drywall itself will not fare well. That's why Andy's tests can surpass IKEA's weight limits for a single instance. They're factoring in dead loads over time and probably also the stress and deformation that the bracket, shelf, and load can cause on the drywall itself. Attaching only to drywall is not an option for longevity you will surely caused repeated stress and eventual failure even if the assembly can withstand initial landings from your 18 lb cat.īut what about attaching into a wood stud? As Andy points out at the end of his experiment IKEA is not just testing for the maximum force applied over a single instance, but for the lifespan of the shelf. Remember that the "soft" landing for the 12 lb cat created a load that translates into about 75 lbs. He then simulated a static load on the edge of the shelf, farthest away from the connection point and found that, when attached to drywall only, the shelf failed at a peak load of 25 kg or 5 times the manufacturer's recommendations. IKEA shows a maximum load of 5 kg for this assembly. The 43" shelf bracket was affixed to standard 1/2" equivalent drywall with expanding metal drywall anchors. IKEA's specifications say that when fixed to a wooden stud the 43" shelf has a max load of 15 kg/33 lbs and the 74" shelf 20 kg/44 lbs.Īndy Mac has tested the IKEA brackets under extreme conditions his results can be found in this blog post and related video. ![]() The 12" shelf does not, so we will disclude it from use as those piddly little brackets are utter shit. The 43" and 74" lengths both still use the internal metal bracket system. Next, let's examine the IKEA LACK shelves. While this experiment focused on the cat being dropped from a holding position and not jumping down of its own volition, I feel this information can still provide a valid basis for expectations. The results recorded a max force of 573 Newtons (~58 kg/128 lbs) and a minimum of 334 N (~34 kg/75 lbs). ![]() The parameters used are a 5.7 kg/12 lb cat and a direct downwards drop ranging from. I discovered a paper written by Shannon McCarty about this subject. I'm going to focus on landing forces instead of launching based on personal experience which anecdotally tells me that being the surface a cat leaps from, for instance, when a can of cat food is suddenly opened downstairs while kitty is peacefully curled up on my chest, is much less painful than being the surface on which a cat lands on from a height, like that one time I lived in a small studio and the cat tree was close enough for the cat to jump down onto the bed and subsequently directly onto my sleeping, prone, unsuspecting self. Cats can survive falls from extreme heights because they spread themselves out and create drag. The top answer references the fact that cats, as a living thing, actively mitigate the force they exert during landing in order to protect themselves. Here's my attempt at answering this problem:įirst, you are not the only cat owner who has asked this question. I feel like this would make a good Randall Monroe What If? blog. ![]()

![]() Some countries require salary ranges to be included on job listings, promotions, etc. rather than have the prospective employees wait to get it from their salary offers. For example, under the New York City Human Rights Law it would be considered an unlawful discriminatory practice if the salary placement is missing from the job listings. The addition of the salary on job postings has been debatable over the years. However, this remains the trend in countries where the practice of adding salary on job postings is not mandatory. The majority of the candidates get salary information from their salary offers upon successfully getting the job. These candidates would only be able to negotiate their salary offers after going through all the steps in the hiring process. Usually, candidates engage their prospective HR through a salary negotiation email where they request their salary requirements. However, it is important to note that the salary placement within the salary range depends on factors such as the rate of hiring, experience, skills, education, qualifications, etc. This is valid when the job listings are not entry-level positions that already have base pay salary information attached to them on their salary requirements. The salary ranges are required in a salary structure because it is impossible to establish a salary for each job evaluation point in an organization. This has led to the development of pay structures. Salary ranges are established most of the time as part of developing a salary/pay structure. Salary ranges for a pay structure can range from as low as 15% to as high as 60%. The salary ranges are much higher when a pay structure has broad banding parameters.Īs indicated earlier, the salary range gives the organization scope to remunerate employees who are in the same job differently based on various considerations. The calculation of salary ranges in a pay structure is not complicated. It is essential to note that to calculate a salary range in a pay structure, you need to have the salary midpoint. A salary midpoint represents the grade's most competitive market position. Each control point could be the median market salary or the 75 th percentile. The choice of the midpoint depends on what the organization can afford and sustain. You get a pay spine if you draw the line through all the midpoints in a pay structure. The pay spine again is the most competitive pay in a pay structure. I will use the table below to show what a salary range looks like. ![]() This would help you when I show you how to establish or calculate salary ranges. The formula to get the salary range in absolute terms or as a percentage is salary grade maximum - salary grade minimum/salary grade minimum X 100. In practice, it is common to have all pay grades within the same salary range. There is no justification for similar salary ranges for all grades. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Screen Privacy Filter market report covers sufficient and comprehensive data on market introduction, segmentations, status and trends, opportunities and challenges, industry chain, competitive analysis, company profiles, and trade statistics, etc. The key players in the Screen Privacy Filter market include global distribution system (GDS) providers, such as These companies are typically the largest or most prominent players in the industry, and they may have significant market share, brand recognition, or technological expertise.īased on TYPE, the Screen Privacy Filter market from 2023 to 2030 is primarily split into -īased on applications, the Screen Privacy Filter market from 2023 to 2030 covers:īrief Description of Screen Privacy Filter Market: Get a Sample Copy of the Screen Privacy Filter Market Report 2023 Shenzhen Zheng Hao Kang Technology Co.,Limited. ![]() TOP Manufacturers Listed in Screen Privacy Filter Market Report are:.

It’s been a notable omission since version 1 of the hardware, but finally, NI has taken the obvious step of building an audio interface into Maschine. Sadly, however, Maschine Mk3 still doesn’t have fold-out legs for angling it to suit seated desktop use - only Maschine Studio gets that embellishment. Oh, and there’s a power button now, so you can turn it off without unplugging it. A power supply is included, for ramping up the brightness of the LEDs, should their bus-powered maximum not be enough. ![]() Like Mk2, Maschine Mk3 is USB bus-powered - an impressive achievement, given that it not only incorporates two full-colour screens but also an audio interface (see Wired for sound). This gives the whole unit a much classier appearance, making the buttons on all other Maschines look comparatively chunky and toy-like. The LED backlit buttons have been overhauled: all but the Group and top-row function buttons are now solid black with cutout lettering allowing the light through. It’s 0.25" longer than Mk2, an inch shallower at its deepest, and weighs 0.4kg more. We never had any issue with Mk2’s build quality, but Mk3 takes the device’s physicality to new heights, its all-metal construction, sturdy knobs and firm, clicky buttons putting it right up there with Ableton’s Push 2 - the current controller construction benchmark. You can repeat this process for any additional Instruments (Sounds) you may have loaded in MASCHINE.Maschine Mk2 made minimal changes to the layout and construction of Mk1, but Maschine Mk3 is a total redesign. You can play and sequence the Instrument or Sound on this track with your Maschine Pads.
