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: |

Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. These administrators had built substantial positions in these scrips prior to the circulation of recommendations and offloaded their positions subsequent to rise in price of these scrips, making significant profits at the expense of unsuspecting investors, Sebi noted. Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said.
