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.

Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon." 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. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981.
