Here are 14 of the coolest offices in the Valley | Wood Grain Pvc Ceiling

The regional consumption rate according to the product types and the applications is also included in the report.

As for Kurant, and other bars and restaurants that line the west part of Girard, Dowall says there’s no telling when the saturation point for that kind of business will hit.

The EVO CHECK features either a clear back and white frame, or smoked back and black frame. I received both for testing, and I’m really not sure which I prefer. The backs are smooth on the outside, but ridged on the inside from the little ‘x’-shaped pattern, which tech21 calls a ‘check’ pattern, in order to prevent the rainbow effect that tends to happen with clear cases. This is effective for the most part, though you may see some discoloration around the fingerprint sensor, camera cutouts, and branding at the right angle. Speaking of those cutouts, they’re not very well-done; the one for the camera isn’t centered properly, and I noticed the one for the fingerprint sensor would sometimes become misshapen. Luckily, neither issue interferes with use of either function. There’s a bit of tech21 branding near the bottom, which I don’t mind.

MILAN — The lambent new tower of art galleries Rem Koolhaas and his Rotterdam-based firm, OMA, have designed for the Prada Foundation is a chameleon.

The photograph is often described in art history as if it was a window, but what happens when we step through the window of the picture plane, and into the image itself? Because such images have no natural scale, we might find ourselves suddenly bigger, or smaller, than we expect. For people entering Svizzera 240, this whimsical problem was made concrete. The interior of the pavilion was remapped as a series of rooms whose scale distorted to fill the available space, even as all the fittings, from door handles to wood grain, remained meticulously Swiss standard issue. Visitors would move, increasingly dismayed, from one room to another, feeling themselves smaller, and then larger. With another person in the room—are they standing as far away as we think they are, or are they taller or shorter than we thought? Much like a hike on a glacier in which an inexperienced walker, without the benefit of familiar forms, slowly loses their bearings and is unable to tell if a ridge is an hour away or a day’s march, visitors pleasurably lose their bearings in a space where the objects are familiar, but scale is no longer trustworthy. Architectural historians and critics, walking through the rooms in Svizzera 240, would try to orient themselves via history. Some spoke of mannerism, others of Borromini. The playfulness of the installation, and the pleasure it brought, was also a rejection of functionalism in favor of a baroque, self-reflexive exploration of possibilities, of the rules of a game pushed to its limits. To go, within a few sentences, from minimalism to mannerism (let alone to the Baroque) requires some critical agility. Mannerism and minimalism would seem, on the face of it, to contradict each other. But there is an inner affinity: both mannerism and minimalism explore not just content, but the coordinates of experience. They don’t just make things bigger or smaller, they stretch and compress time and space, wringing meaning out of the grid like some deviant topologist. What the exhibition recalled—for it is a canonical lesson, but one worth retelling—was how the seeming minimalism of the rooms, their sameness, could sensitize the viewer to subtle shifts and could produce on an experiential level a kind of maximalism.

For the first time on a Land Rover model, a four-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine will be offered, delivering high levels of torque from low engine speeds, ensuring excellent responsiveness and acceleration whenever the driver demands it. Features such as the highly rigid crankcase, twin balancer shafts and active fluid-filled engine mounts ensure superb refinement.

Moving onto the whole ‘Live’ aspect, my unit is the Google Earth ‘Rock’ dual-layer model. Setup is pretty interesting. After installing the ‘Live Case’ app from the Play Store and logging into your Google account, you’re told to grab the four-digit code that’s printed inside the case (on both the polycarbonate and TPU layers, in the dual-layer version’s case). Enter this code, which presumably identifies what kind of case you purchased exactly, and you’re in.

"This is the only question on this list we can answer definitively—yes, you need flood insurance. Before Harvey, many realtors said it was only necessary when it came to certain parts of town, certain types of homes, or certain areas in the flood plain. ‘That’s about the opposite of what the message should be,’ says Caroline Schlemmer, an agent with Greenwood King."

The three Republican "no" votes on the overall package were cast by U.S. Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa, James Lankford of Oklahoma and Perdue.

Obviously, this isn’t a protective case, but it’s not marketed as one. You can tell that it’s meant for people who just don’t want their phones to get scratched, and not those who work on a construction site. The Pixel 2 XL is already large, and this case prevents it from becoming even harder to hold. The recess for the magnet is the cherry on top. And at just $11.99 for each, you can afford to buy another case if you know you’ll be going somewhere you need a little more protection.

There’s a gradual slope leading to the fingerprint sensor, as anything else would make it next-to-impossible to use. The angular cutout around the camera and flash makes for an aggressive overall look, which does make it appear pretty menacing. The USB-C port is covered by a cover that, in an interesting twist, is hinged from the top. This cover is useless unless you frequent extremely dusty environments, as the Pixel 2 and 2 XL are already IP68 rated against water and dust. The buttons are a little harder to press than I’d like, but they do produce satisfying clicks.
