Операция «Нафталин»

В 1948 г. Пол Рудольф, которому на тот момент было 30 лет, присоединился к маститому сарасотскому архитектору Ральфу Твитчеллу и вскоре спроектировал с ним гостевой дом для родителей жены Твитчелла в местечке Сиеста-Ки. Во время войны Рудольф служил на военно-морской верфи в Бруклине, где открыл для себя технологию «облачения» отдельных частей судов в полимерный состав для консервации. Убежденный в том, что в задачи архитектора входит «донести свои потребности до производителей стройматериалов вместо того, чтобы постоянно подстраиваться под их продукцию», Рудольф решил произвести обратную конверсию и применить военные разработки в гражданском строительстве.

На небольшом участке у самой воды был подготовлен фундамент, на который были уложены балки с вылетами для последующего крепления крыши. Для формирования фасадных стен, состоящих из горизонтальных жалюзи, на балки были установлены опоры, связанные сверху продольными балками. Крыша же была устроена так: на продольные балки уложили стальные полосы, предоставив им свободу прогибаться как им вздумается и лишь зафиксировав места их крепления металлическими тягами, пущенными к выносам нижних балок, на них поместили термоизолирующие панели, а сверху покрыли полимерным составом.

Operation Mothball

In 1948, 30-year-old Paul Rudolph joined Ralph Twitchell, a celebrated Sarasota architect at the time, and the two quickly designed a guest house in Siesta Key, Florida, for Twitchell’s in-laws by the name of Mr and Mrs Healy. During WWII, Rudolph had served at the Brooklyn Navy Yard watching how parts of battleships were being "cocooned" with saran-vinyl compounds to protect them from the weather when they were dispatched for storage. A firm believer that architects "must make clear to materials manufacturers our needs rather than continually adapting what they offer", Rudolph decided to use the military-developed polymer sprays in civic construction, starting from the Healey House.

When a platform for the house was set up right next to the water, out-rigger beams were placed on top to hold the roof and walls in place. The longitudinal walls were designed to have jalousie blinds for their entire span with a series of posts in between and structural beams above. The roof was made of a number of steel straps that were placed over the horizontal beams in a catenary manner. The straps were linked to the out-riggers with tie-rods and covered with insulating panels that were then coated with vinyl.

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

Date: |

This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted.
