AD Shopping Resources to Help You Get the Look | Lexan Polycarbonate Embossed Sheet

In my eyes, the Vault is still the better buy, but the Parallax has more interesting color options and a slightly more unique design. The Parallax does end up being a little wider and a little taller because of the external frame, so the added flair doesn’t come at no cost. $13.99 is still a great price, and you won’t find the diamond texture anywhere else.

That sensor is insanely fast, and is among the fastest I’ve come across, being more or less instantaneous in my experience. Unfortunately, it’s a little diminutive and placed inside a ridge below the camera array, so you’ll need a little time before you get used to its placement.

The transparent design of the CandyShell Clear case reveals the clean design elements of the iPhone 6. Built of dual layers of polycarbonate, the case meets military-grade standards in drop and scratch protection, and has UV protection to avoid yellowing. Great hand-feel, and easy to slide into a pocket with easy-to-press buttons on its perimeter. — Milo Kahney

At Jobs’s memorial, which was held on the lawn at Infinite Loop, Ive said, “Steve used to say to me—and he used to say this a lot—‘Hey, Jony, here’s a dopey idea.’ And sometimes they were: really dopey. Sometimes they were truly dreadful. But sometimes they took the air from the room, and they left us both completely silent. Bold, crazy, magnificent ideas. Or quiet, simple ones which, in their subtlety, their detail, they were utterly profound.” Ive said to me, “I couldn’t be more mindful of him. How could I not, given our personal relationship, and given that I’m still designing in the same place, at the same table, where I spent the last fifteen years with him sat next to me?”

Over the years, Laurene Powell Jobs has consulted Ive about eyeglasses, flatware, and the proper height of countertops. “He’s so good on proportion and dimension,” she said. “Really, if you ever need buttons for things designed, for doors or lights, you should just stay in touch with him.” We were in the offices of the Emerson Collective, her education-oriented nonprofit, in Palo Alto. She protected an Arne Jacobsen conference table with two felt coasters: one for her coffee cup, and the other for its plastic lid.

Republican members voted 5-3 to pass the proposal. In addition to those voting "present," two Democrats supported the measure; two opposed it.

These enhancement techniques rely on surface properties and interfacial phenomena, which are inherently susceptible to degradation. Here we report the enhancement of CHF and HTC using surfaces with in-plane variations in substrate thermal conductivity. These “bi-conductive” surfaces are comprised of rows of low-conductivity epoxy embedded into high-conductivity copper substrates, and therefore rely on bulk properties rather than surface properties to enhance boiling. They create spatial variations in the surface temperature during boiling, and by tuning the wavelength of these variations to coincide with the capillary length, have shown increases in HTC and CHF of greater than a factor 5x and 2x, respectively. These counterintuitive results are explained by an examination of the resulting liquid and vapor flow fields, as well as enhanced bubble dynamics. This novel enhancement mechanism has not yet been observed or studied, and holds the potential for creating robust and reliable surfaces for high-efficiency and high heat flux boiling applications over long lifetimes.

[CapnJackHarkness] based their build on a table made by Gaminggeek, adapting it to their space and needs. The main difference? This wasn’t exactly ‘cheap;’ between needing to purchase tools and a 39″ TV, their cost was around $1,000 — the poplar alone coming in between $200-$400. Additionally, those foam pads have been a functional nuisance so far, so they’re planning on replacing them with speed cloth or felt down the line.

That’s because every aspect of a building’s design impacts the way it sounds: how the HVAC system is routed, the kind of wall insulation, the thickness of windows, and even how the electrical outlets are sealed. It’s a fussy, nuanced effort that’s inseparable from the architecture and construction of the space itself. A restaurant or shop that’s loud because the ceilings are too high or because there’s nothing separating kitchen or bar noise from areas for table seating has space-planning problems. They can’t be fixed by hanging some fiberglass panels to dampen the noise.

Upstairs, they found one of the side brick walls lined with wrought-iron diamonds, each with a hole in the center. Meyers suspects these are anchor plates, set up on the exterior walls of the neighboring brass foundry to provide additional structural reinforcement (a common element in many 18th and 19th-century buildings).

the mobile rooms offer the chance to be immersed in a remote location and this winter they will be at the avoriaz ski resort.

"What’s most stunning about this historic home is that it never left the family—until now. The Minchens’ son, Meyer, a highly decorated World War II Navy pilot, lived in the home until his death this summer at age 95. Meyer, who apparently spent considerable time with an elaborate ham radio setup in the garage, was well-known in the neighborhood and, legend has it, entertained celebrities performing at the old Shamrock Hotel."
