Welcome to your Deco Glaze John Lewis Training session for 2025, brought to you by DecoGlaze, the splashback and worktop masters. Let's explore the innovative solutions we offer for modern kitchens.

Let's dive into how our process works. From the end user to the kitchen company and finally to Deco Glaze as the supplier, each step is crucial for seamless integration and customer satisfaction.

Discover the Deco Glaze difference with our Opticlear low iron glass, bespoke designs tailored to your needs, and superior strength and heat resistance. We guarantee quality and precision in every piece.

OptiClear glass offers unmatched clarity and durability. It's easy to clean, resistant to stains, heat, and water, and available in bespoke designs. Choose from matte or gloss finishes for your perfect splashback.

Explore our diverse colour ranges, from China Blue to Fir, available in gloss or frosted glass. Whether you prefer bold or subtle tones, we have the perfect match for your kitchen aesthetics.

Our colour palette extends further with options like Calico, Dusty Pink, and Charcoal. Both gloss and frosted finishes are available, ensuring your splashback complements your kitchen design beautifully.

Introducing the Shimmer colour range, available exclusively in gloss glass. These stunning shades add a touch of elegance to any kitchen, with panels toughened as needed for durability.

Achieving the perfect colour match is simple with our advanced scanning technology. Provide a sample, and we'll ensure your splashback matches your vision. Please note, metallic colours are not available for matching.

We offer a variety of glass types, including Deco Glaze Gloss, Deco Matt, Deco Luxe, and Deco Kiln. Each style is designed to meet specific aesthetic and functional needs, ensuring your kitchen shines.

Our DecoKiln Artisan glass undergoes a meticulous process, from cutting to toughening, ensuring each piece is crafted to perfection. This unique texture adds depth and character to your kitchen.

Explore the texture options available in our DecoKiln range, from Bloc to Luna. These textures, available in both standard and metallic colours, offer a distinctive look for your splashback.

Our standard glass products come in various sizes to fit your needs, from splashbacks to worktops. DecoKiln Artisan Glass is different and offers a unique size option, ensuring flexibility in design and installation.

DecoMirror untoughened glass is available in a range of sizes and mirror types, including Silver, Grey, and Copper. Choose the perfect fit for your kitchen's style and functionality.

For added durability, DecoMirror toughened glass is available in larger sizes. This option ensures your splashback withstands the rigors of daily kitchen use while maintaining its elegant appearance.

When using DecoMirror, consider safety and placement. Untoughened mirrors should not be placed behind gas hobs unless there's an upstand. Our toughened mirrors offer enhanced safety and clarity.

Consider weight transfer and placement when using DecoMirror. Ensure shelves are not directly above the glass to prevent damage. Our mirrors are ideal for holding lighter items safely.

The toughening process involves heating glass to high temperatures, ensuring strength and durability. Proper fabrication is crucial to prevent shattering, making our glass ideal for various applications.

During toughening, glass is polished to remove marks, ensuring a flawless finish. Our quality control ensures any blemishes are addressed, providing you with a pristine splashback every time.

Our splashbacks come in various fabrication types, including common shapes like the inverted T. Each design is tailored to fit your kitchen perfectly, ensuring both functionality and style.

Let's dive into the various fabrication types for splashbacks. Here, we see panels with notches for pelmets and holes for extractors, each with specific item codes. The fabrication costs are calculated based on these features, ensuring precision and quality in every piece.

Next, we have splashbacks featuring polished shoulder cutouts. These designs are tailored with item codes for curved cutouts and socket cuts, providing a sleek and modern finish. The fabrication costs are carefully determined to match the unique specifications of each panel.

Sockets play a crucial role in splashback design. Standard socket sizes are outlined here, emphasizing the importance of precise placement to avoid glass breakage. The minimum distance between cuts ensures durability and safety, making sure your splashback remains intact and functional.

Moving on to worktops, we explore various fabrication types including tap holes and drainer grooves. Accurate quoting is essential, as each option is priced separately. The example of an undermounted sink showcases the seamless integration of these features into modern kitchen designs.

Unsupported worktops require careful consideration, especially those with a thickness of 10 milimeters. The maximum span between supports is crucial to prevent sagging, ensuring stability and longevity. These specifications are vital for maintaining the integrity of your worktop over time.

Worktops with exterior cutouts are designed for specific applications, such as hob installations. Each cutout is assigned an item code, and the fabrication costs are calculated based on these precise measurements. This ensures a perfect fit and finish for your kitchen worktop.

Kitchen islands offer unique design opportunities, with radiuses on all corners for a smooth, rounded look. The fabrication includes hob cutouts and radius specifications, providing a stylish and functional centerpiece for your kitchen space.

Ordering your splashback involves a detailed procedure, starting with estimates and followed by order confirmation. Deco Glaze ensures a seamless process, from survey to delivery, keeping you informed every step of the way. This guarantees a hassle-free experience for our customers.

Our three-step survey process is designed to ensure accuracy and convenience. From survey confirmation to courtesy calls, we coordinate with John Lewis to schedule and confirm appointments. This thorough approach ensures your splashback installation is perfectly tailored to your needs.

The site survey checklist outlines responsibilities and actions for a smooth installation process. From verifying measurements to ensuring customer satisfaction, every detail is covered. This comprehensive checklist guarantees that your splashback is installed to the highest standards.

Our guarantee covers the paint on the glass, ensuring durability and quality. We address common concerns like delamination and offer solutions for maintaining the glass's pristine condition. This guarantee reflects our commitment to providing reliable and long-lasting splashbacks.

Occasionally, customers encounter issues like bubbles on the glass. We provide solutions, such as cleaning with specific products, to resolve these concerns. If further assistance is needed, our team is ready to help, ensuring your splashback remains flawless.

While we offer a wide range of services, there are certain limitations. We don't provide beveled edges or oversized panels beyond specific dimensions. However, we are happy to assist with alternative solutions, ensuring you receive the best possible outcome for your project.

Living with Neo-Marxism

https://d3uryq9bhgb5qr.cloudfront.net/ProfessionalAnnualLimitedUsePerUser/973fbed4-2c1e-4759-ab19-a9c1fc1de603/b15cfbb4-789e-44b8-836e-ad11b0387d94/text/subtitles/79d793a2-6a7c-4afb-ba9b-f04c5148491f.txt

A fantasy only academics could like

As with many “Neo-” theories, Neo-Marxism was introduced to bolster the already-failing notion of classical Marxism. (cf. Neo-Darwinism).

First promoted by a group of sociologists out of the University of Frankfurt in the 1920s, these members of what was to be called the “Frankfurt School,” endeavored to develop a theory of society that was based on Marxism and Hegelian philosophy, but which also incorporated the insights of psychoanalysis, sociology, existential philosophy, and other disciplines.

This method of analysis became known as "critical theory”—a term that is simultaneously opaque and grandiose.

Many influential articles were published in the Frankfurt School’s journal Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (Journal for Social Research).

pan-right

** Theodor W. Adorno—Theorized civilization’s tendency to self-destruction; fled Nazi Germany in 1934 (ironically to capitalist Britain and even more capitalist United States); returning to Frankfurt in 1949 to pick up where he had left off.

** Walter Benjamin—Possessed great intellect, trying to reconcile Marxism, Kabbalah, free love, and the Arts scene; alienated some colleagues, and lived in exile, in fear of the Nazis; committing suicide when he realized he would be turned over to the Gestapo.

** Erich Fromm—Yet another German Jew who had to flee the Nazis; a disciple of Sigmund Freud before turning against him; Zionist for a while but functional atheist, calling himself a “nontheistic mystic”; held that modern man has become alienated and estranged from himself within consumer-oriented industrial society.

** Julian Gumperz—Born in the US, before returning to Germany with his parents; hard-core Commie who renounced it all after World War II to become a stockbroker; wrote Pattern for World Revolution (1947)

under a pseudonym, this work analyzes the structure and strategies of the Communist International and its role in promoting world revolution.

** Herbert Marcuse—Followed the Frankfurt School members first to Geneva, and then to Columbia University; hired by the OSS (precursor to the CIA) in 1941; his Eros and Civilization: A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud (1955) attacked capitalism, and was described by some as “eroticizing Marx”; not surprisingly became popular with students in the 1960s for his Marxist and sexual liberation views.

Cutting to the chase, whether Marxism or Neo-Marxism, all focus is on the dialectic between the Oppressor and the Victim.

However, this always requires a determination of which party IS truly the Oppressor and the Victim.

In the US, ever since Affirmative Action (growing out of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), this distinction has become fatally flawed.

Under what rubric is a White job applicant denied a position in favor of a Black the “Oppressor”?

What is the formula whereby society is healed by perpetuating discrimination in a modified context?

Is a woman seeking an abortion a worthy Victim?

Indeed, the entire dialectic has deteriorated into pure travesty.

How else to describe the new production of Jesus Christ Superstar, featuring Black Lesbian Cynthia Ervio as Jesus, and gay Adam Lambert as Judas.

Surely, this arrangement will give new meaning to Mary Magdalene’s song “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.”

And, how can we forget the ridiculous incident (July 27th) in which WNBA player Kahleah Copper’s hair extension was inadvertently pulled off, and the game was actually stopped, followed by the ejection of a fan who apparently laughed at absurdity of it all.

Never mind that by all rights the league should not even exist since it has NEVER turned a profit since its inception in 1997.

Time value of Money

https://d3uryq9bhgb5qr.cloudfront.net/StarterMonthlyLimitedUsePerUser/Google_114060488907416511843/0bbabd8b-a278-4128-abb8-204d3b0abf0d/text/subtitles/46f27069-924d-406c-b984-9341cfdb319f.txt

Imagine this: You're 12 years old, and your grandma gives you $100 for your birthday.

You hide it in a shoebox under your bed, thinking, “One day, I’ll use this to buy something big.”

But fast forward 10 years... you open that box… and something feels wrong.

That $100 didn’t grow.

It sat there, frozen in time.

And even worse—it actually lost value.

Because of something called the Time Value of Money.

It’s a simple idea, but one that can change your future forever.

Money is like a seed.

If you plant it today, it grows.

But if you just hold onto it, hoping it’ll stay the same—it won’t.

$100 today is worth more than $100 tomorrow.

Because money can grow over time—through investing, earning interest, or using it wisely.

But there’s a silent thief in this story.

Inflation means the cost of things goes up over time.

A burger that cost $5 ten years ago?

Gas, groceries, rent—they all rise, year after year.

So if your money just sits still, it’s losing its power.

It might only buy you $70 worth of stuff in the future.

Now imagine two people.

One puts their $100 in a savings account earning 5% a year.

The other hides it in a shoebox.

After 10 years, the first person has over $160.

The second still has $100… but it can only buy what $70 used to.

Understanding the time value of money isn’t just for bankers or investors.

It’s for everyone—kids, grandparents, you.

Every dollar you earn has a choice: grow it, or let it shrink.

TimevalueofMoney.mp4

You’re thrilled.

Why?

His name is Inflation.

Now it’s $9.

That $100 from grandma?

Don’t let your money sleep.

Make it work for you.

Learn.

Invest. Grow.

This is just the beginning.

Want to master your money and protect your future from inflation?

Start today.

Because time… is money.

Your future self will thank you. 💰

Learn more. Start now.

Create a 30-second photorealistic vertical (9:16) cinematic video for TikTok.

Show a long, gently curving line of tall transparent acrylic dominoes arranged in a smooth gradient from blue at the front to red at the back, placed on a glossy reflective surface.

Begin with an extreme close-up of the first blue domino as it falls in slow motion.

When it hits the next domino, vibrant blue particles burst out and scatter around it like magical sparks.

As each domino falls in sequence, the particles of its unique color (green, yellow, orange, and finally red) burst outward, filling the scene with a dynamic mix of glowing colors.

Use dynamic tracking shots that follow the chain reaction from ground level, combined with overhead shots to reveal the colorful chaos.

In the final scene, after the last red domino falls, all the scattered colorful particles rise into the air and merge, forming a glowing, radiant rainbow arch above the fallen dominoes.

Use smooth cinematic transitions, bright natural lighting, and an emotional, uplifting soundtrack.
