In addition to supporting biennial budgeting, the committee’s package, as amended, called for the House and Senate budget committees to hold an annual hearing on the "fiscal state of the nation."

CHASKA, MINNESOTA, DECEMBER 11, 2018 – ASI Architectural, dedicated to providing innovative solutions for the design and build industry, announces its newly enhanced U.S. Rep Network. ASI Architectural, which officially launched earlier this quarter, is now more readily available to architects and interior designers throughout the United States.

While dbrand does sell a full-body skin, I installed the back-only one. dbrand sends both in regular purchases. I’m a much bigger fan of this version, as it’s easier to install and allows you to put a case over it. I currently have a Ringke Fusion over mine, and since the skin doesn’t add much thickness at all, the case is unaffected. Until dbrand starts shipping out its Grip cases, this is probably the best solution if you also want some protection.

The Xplore L10 is designed to guard against dust and liquids getting inside, something that’s most easily accomplished with as few external ports and openings as possible. However, some onboard connectivity is needed in a tablet to provide functionality in the field, and Xplore has always offered a balance of onboard and docking connectivity. The L10 platform is no exception and offers generous connectivity for a rugged tablet. Below you can see the hard handle version of the Xplore L10, the XPAD L10, from the front and all four sides:

What that means is that the Core-based XSLATE L10 is a high-performance tablet for virtually any job, even complex, demanding ones. It actually beat our new 6-core Intel 8th generation "Coffee Lake" powered office Dell Vostro desktop with nVidia discrete graphics (the big Vostro, in fairness, had a handicap in its use of a rotating hard disk instead of solid state disk).

Later that morning, Apple was announcing new products and services, at the kind of event that the company, like a fashion house, stages a few times a year. Of a thousand attendees expected, a few dozen had been invited to the backstage courtyard. Among the guests were Rupert Murdoch; Kevin Durant, of the Oklahoma City Thunder; Marissa Mayer, of Yahoo; Jimmy Iovine, the C.E.O. of Beats; and the rapper and entrepreneur Sean Combs. (Fry later referred, fondly, to “Snoop Seany Sean,” who was gracious when Fry nearly soaked him with a spilled drink.) That day, a hundred assembly lines in Zhengzhou, China, were turning out still secret new iPhones at a reported rate of seventy-five hundred an hour, and rumors about new Apple products, including a watch, were being posted online at nearly the same pace. Tim Cook, Apple’s C.E.O., was somewhere nearby, preparing to speak to a hall full of enthusiasts and reporters, and to millions online. But Ive’s role was limited largely to drinking coffee in misty sunshine. Jobs excused Ive from most public-speaking duties, and he has held on to the dispensation.

Cities are theaters and shape-shifters, too. I’m vaguely reminded of the old Cinecittà studios outside Rome, where Fellini worked and Mr. Anderson has made films. A stable house in the former distillery now resembles the cabinet rooms in old master museums. A tiny, Alice in Wonderland door opens onto an immense warehouse, 60 feet high and 200 feet long.

The rest of the case is great. Buttons are clicky and easy to press, there’s a nice lip around the camera to prevent it from getting damaged, and the fingerprint sensor cutout slopes down to meet the sensor perfectly. The front lip is higher than a glass screen protector, should you choose to use one. There’s a bit of branding (the ‘Spigen’ on the back and the ‘Neo Hybrid’ on the frame), but it’s pretty subtle.

This trend is not limited to New York. According to Architectural Digest, mid-century modern and minimalism are both here to stay. That means sparse, modern decor; high, exposed ceilings; and almost no soft goods, such as curtains, upholstery, or carpets. These design features are a feast for the eyes, but a nightmare for the ears. No soft goods and tall ceilings mean nothing is absorbing sound energy, and a room full of hard surfaces serves as a big sonic mirror, reflecting sound around the room.

He added that changes such as these make the garage part of the home’s architecture and add curb appeal and overall salability.
