Ive’s studio assumed power from manufacturers as well as from engineers. Jeff Williams, the senior vice-president, recalled an early iMac revision. “We announced it, and it was beautiful,” he said. “But we couldn’t figure out how to produce them.” Ive and Dan Riccio, now Apple’s senior vice-president of hardware engineering, spent eight weeks at LG Electronics, the computer’s South Korean manufacturer. “The folks at LG were doing a lot of the designing for us,” Riccio said. “Today, we do it a hundred per cent in-house.”

Really using miniatures would be the only reason to embed it within the table. I’ve played a couple of one-offs with my kids and I used Roll20 as-is set up on a large TV at the end of the table. On Roll20, a single “player” had control of all their characters and they just moved their own tokens on their turn around using a couple of shared mice. Character sheets were pen & paper and dice rolls were real dice.

The minimalism continues on the back. There’s no branding at all, which MNML is quite proud of. The camera cutout is as precise as it can possibly be, with the cutout going exactly around the lens and the flash. The fingerprint sensor cutout, however, is quite a bit larger than the sensor itself to ensure that use is still easy. There’s also a circular ridge around it so that you can find the sensor easily without looking. The buttons are a little bit more difficult to access, but again, given the slimness of the case around the cutout, you won’t have any issues.

Property records of the neighborhood around Kurant support Dowdall’s point. In the 1960’s records show a Motor Freight Express Company on Palmer Street and a company called Electro Carbon MPG on Columbia Street. But apart from those, and other small businesses like them, most of the plots of land are residential spots.

I had wondered if the watch project, and Ive’s software role, could be seen as a way for Apple to thank and secure Ive: handcuffs in yellow gold and rose gold. “I never thought of that, to be honest,” Cook said. “I think Jony really loves Apple—loves being here and loves the products.” He added, “The driving force was that our products would be much better.” If Jobs and Ive had a father-son dynamic, Ive and Cook seem like respectful cousins. Cook said that Ive was “extremely supportive” both before and after he publicly announced, last fall, that he was gay: “When you do something like that, there’s a group of people that throws stones.” He went on, “It’s been great having people who remind you of all the good in it.”

Hours after the joint committee’s vote, Womack and U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., introduced the Bipartisan Budget and Appropriations Process Reform Act of 2018. It contains "the Joint Select Committee’s bipartisan recommendations relevant to the House of Representatives," the lawmakers said in a joint news release.

In 2007, the year of the iPhone launch, the Ives bought an eleven-bedroom seventeenth-century house, with a lake, in rural Somerset, in the West of England. Ive had been at Apple for fifteen years; his children were nearing school age. When Ive and his wife were photographed among the tanned and lacquered guests at San Francisco fund-raisers, they looked palely handsome and a little puzzled, as if misdirected from the set of a Jane Austen adaptation. At the time, Michael Ive hoped that the Somerset house presaged a permanent return. He told me that he had learned not to ask three questions: “When are you coming back to England?”; “What are you working on?”; “Planning any more kids?”

Real-time traffic information helps you to avoid congestion, and plan alternative routes. But if you are delayed, the ‘Share ETA Mode’ can send your location and estimated time of arrival to chosen contacts via email or text message1. If your journey time slips, the system can automatically send further updates.

These cool photographs are not marketing for the building (that will be handled by others), nor are they a design tool. They are relics of a ritual. They document a separation. They depict the final state of the building before it is handed over to its owners, a kind of pre-occupancy survey. In this sense, they are mementos for the architects alone. Manifesting a particularly architectural way of visualizing space, they reflect what the architects wish to record of their own work. That they are then available to the public on websites is almost an afterthought, as evidence of having completed (or in German, vollendet, perfected) a project. The oblique relationship between the photographs and their audience makes them particularly interesting. Their uncanny homogenity is not rule based, nor determined by market pressures; it is close to spontaneous, a kind of symptom. Lacking any urgent function, their individual emptiness and collective form reveals to the viewer what they had anticipated of photography, or rather, reveals expectations by denying them. It was perhaps this capacity to be both designed and symptomatic that have made the images, and subsequently the Swiss Pavilion itself, so unsettling. The Swiss Pavilion can be understood as a built response to this research archive of images. This is not the only way to read the pavilion and its installation, but it is one way. In Svizzera 240, the viewer enters a space that looks just like one of the photographs. The visitor walks through rooms in which proportions were preserved, but not the scale, so that the visitor became alternately too big or too small for the rooms that they were in. Like an act of courtesy that unintentionally reveals an ulterior motive, or a film set seen from behind, the Swiss Pavilion quietly and unpolemically reveals both new levels of convention, even automatism, within design, as well as new domains of creative freedom.

The need for Flame retardant Polycarbonate films is expected to be fueled by the need for films with excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties. Several manufacturers of Flame retardant Polycarbonate films focus on producing customized solutions, with features such as embossing, variations in colors, and others. The ease of handling of Flame retardant Polycarbonate films is a merit, and therefore, they are used in a wide range of products such as aircraft in-flight panels, business equipment, electronic devices, and others. Therefore, the outlook for the growth of the global Flame retardant Polycarbonate films market is expected to remain largely positive during the forecast period.

I consider myself a pro at installing glass screen protectors, priding myself on making sure the screen is completely clean before gently laying the protector on. Yes, it’s stupid, but I personally can’t stand if the screen protector has even the teensiest bit of dust or if it’s misaligned by half a degree. As a result, I was pretty proud of myself when I nailed the installation the first time. But while I was installing it, I noticed that only the edges had adhesive, much like (crappy) glass screen protectors I’d experienced in the past with phones like the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S8+. I decided to give the ZAGG a shot anyway.
