Armstrong World Industries Acquires Plasterform, Inc. NYSE:AWI | Colored Polycarbonate Sheet

At the same time, there are the custom sheets of very modern translucent polycarbonate and aluminum handrails milled like Ferraris. There are the oak wood box-on-end pavers and the repurposed metal prison grates painted lime green, which serve as screens in the coat checks and bathroom stalls.

Coming to the edges, the top is home to a 3.5mm audio port, while the bottom is where you’ll find the micro-USB port and a mono speaker. There’s a triple-slot tray (two nano-SIM cards and one microSD card) on one side, with the power button and volume rocker being on the other.

Nolan gave me complete access to every part of their manufacturing plant and processes and I am deeply grateful for the time and effort put forth by of all the Nolan staff and in their very gracious hosting of my visit.

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.

Felix Reyes of Treetop Development inspects the connections on new PVC plumbing in a resident’s apartment at Fort Myers’ Jones Walker apartments on Thursday. The PVC replaces 40-year-old cast iron pipes that caused continual leaks and collapsed ceilings. Under pressure from residents, city council members and Senators Rubio and Nelson, Treetop, which inherited decades of deferred maintenance when it bought Jones Walker in 2014, is doing a thorough rehab. (Photo: Patricia Borns/The News-Press)

“It is rare to find a beach home that checks so many boxes,” co-listing agent Linda Raymond said. “The beachfront is deep and sandy with dunes, beach grass, roses, and a spacious lawn. The creekside dock keeps a boat at the ready. The property has enchanting landscaping, curved stone paths, a sprinkler system, and parking for up to 11 cars. And the house itself has all the play spaces and luxury bells and whistles one could wish for!”

Ivano explained that this is done so that Nolan can keep close control over the manufacturing processes, the quality and production schedules, along with the ability to make immediate changes or incorporate improvements when necessary.

It’s a curious detail that since the introduction of clean air legislation in the early 1980s, coal fired power stations in Germany have been legally obliged to scrub their smoke of fine dust particles, which are for the most part ash with traces of sulfur. This is done with an electrostatic precipitator (also called an ESP), that charges the particles, and then draws them down so that they heap up in huge hoppers that look like geometric teats. Periodically, semitrailers come and collect the fine dust that has accumulated in the hoppers. Clean, white, and powdery, this dust is sold to manufacturers who turn it into plaster, and then drywall (made of calcium sulfate dihydrate). Even as servers continue to model these spaces in which we will live, the dust rain continues to silently fall. Hundreds of thousands of tons of it, every year. Even as we sit in front of screens, in order to pay for our homes or distract ourselves from them, the dust falls. The more electricity we consume, the cheaper and more widely available drywall is. The thin-walled world that we see around us is a side effect of the electricity that we consume as we produce it, study it, and dwell in it. A polygonal balloon inflated by the light with which we illuminate it. The built environment, when examined via this metabolic material path, is in all earnest a media effect, a strange double to the stucco ornament of the rococo, with its inhuman profusion, its rank fecundity. You are looking through a sequence of photographs. At first, they all look the same. And they seem to show the same thing: nothing. No furniture, no people. You have the feeling you are in a labyrinth. You become disoriented.

Consultant Graham Everhart of Metropolitan explains he and his team created models based off the testing to develop solutions. “Our overall recommendation was to incorporate acoustically absorptive materials on all available surfaces,” he states, “and in most spaces, the most available surface was the ceiling, so we focused on that.”

Ive had been in charge for two and a half years when the iMac appeared, in the summer of 1998. Jobs later took much of the credit for its conception, although most other accounts, including Ive’s, suggest that the studio had come up with something quite like the iMac before his return. According to Ive, Jobs said, “Make it lickable.” (Craig Federighi, the senior vice-president of software engineering, attended a meeting where executives were shown a late iMac prototype. “Jony was showing off the case,” he recalled. “Steve was poking at the seams, and turning to Jony: ‘Maybe we could do something with the edge.’ ”) The computer’s design had the giddiness of a pardoned prisoner. At Braun, Dieter Rams had relieved consumer electronics of the need to pose as furniture. A radio could be a box. Apple’s instinct, at this moment, was to do the reverse: to domesticate a machine still largely associated with technical tasks and the workplace. (A few years earlier, in a concept design for an all-in-one computer, Ive had hidden its screen behind credenza doors, which is about as close as hardware comes to a quacking ringtone.) The computer, first sold in food-dye blue, had a handle, and curves that cheerfully acknowledged its unwieldy main component, a cathode-ray tube.
