Ivano explained that this is done so that Nolan can keep close control over the manufacturing processes, the quality and production schedules, along with the ability to make immediate changes or incorporate improvements when necessary.

This essay is based on an unpublished introduction to the book House Tour: Views of the Unfurnished Interior (Park Books 2018) with essays by Francesca Hughes, Nicholas de Monchaux, Georges Teyssot, Martin Steinmann, Christophe Joud and Lorraine Beaudoin, Emma Jones, Sandy Isenstadt, Michael Hill, John Macarthur, Claire Lehmann, Charles Rice, Hans-Christian Dany, Marija Marić, Ariell Ahearn, and Stephen Lezak.

Have you heard of Spigen’s Slim Armor and Tough Armor lines? If so, great! You know exactly what the Legion is. The moment I opened the box, I was instantly reminded of those two lines of Spigen cases, albeit without the handy little kickstand. The Legion features a dual-layer design, with a TPU inner layer and a polycarbonate shell around it. This earns it a MIL-STD 810G drop rating. The polycarbonate actually has a subtle soft-touch finish, which is actually quite comfortable in the hand. What’s not comfortable, however, are the sharp edges that dominate the sides of the case. These edges look good, but they aren’t very pleasant-feeling. Rounding these just a little bit would do wonders for the overall feel.

“The city is doing their job by following up on tenants’ concerns. I would just expect them to continue that to other properties in the city to improve Fort Myers’ housing 100 percent,” he said.   Senior Treetop management will continue to visit the property every few weeks to make sure it’s being maintained, Reyes said.

The sophisticated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system uses a cooled low-pressure circuit in addition to a high-pressure circuit reducing pumping losses and peak combustion temperatures to help reduce the formation of NOx in the cylinders.

In the field it can get very cold and very hot. The device must be able to handle that. The L10 tablet can operate in temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 to +60 Celsius), enough for virtually any conceivable deployment.

Ive collected watches, and he had often discussed watch design with colleagues and with Newson, who in the nineties had founded his own watch company, Ikepod. “The job of the designer is to try to imagine what the world is going to be like in five or ten years,” Newson told me. “You’re thinking, What are people going to need?” In 2011, largely thanks to advances in the miniaturization of technology, the answer seemed to be a wearable notification device paired to a phone—making it yet simpler to exchange messages of love, or tardiness. That summer, Google made an eight-pound prototype of a computer worn on the face. To Ive, then unaware of Google’s plans, “the obvious and right place” for such a thing was the wrist. When he later saw Google Glass, Ive said, it was evident to him that the face “was the wrong place.” Cook said, “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them. They were intrusive, instead of pushing technology to the background, as we’ve always believed.” He went on, “We always thought it would flop, and, you know, so far it has.” He looked at the Apple Watch on his wrist. “This isn’t obnoxious. This isn’t building a barrier between you and me.” He continued, “If I get a notification here, it will tap my wrist”—with silent vibrations. “I can casually look and see what’s going on.” We were in a conference room at One Infinite Loop, a few doors from Jobs’s old office, and I noticed that, at this moment in the history of personal technology, Cook still uses notifications in the form of a young woman appearing silently from nowhere to hold a sheet of paper in his line of sight.

Michael Ive said that the scale of his son’s talent manifested itself in childhood. He recalled an ingenious obstacle course, in wood and cardboard, for a pet hamster, and a drawing of a scuba diver that was “so accurate in its perspective, with an astonishing sense of movement.” When Jonathan was thirteen, the family moved to Stafford, in the Midlands. At this age, Ive said, he was nicknamed Tiny, because “I was as big as I am now.” He was selected to play rugby for his county. When necessary, he has been able to access aggression. “You don’t play politely,” Ive later explained, laughing. “But you play as a team, and if you don’t play hard your team’s going to get hurt.” At school, he met Heather Pegg, his future wife, and wore his hair in a post-punk mullet.

They also found the pulley system on the second floor, left over from the building’s carriage house days, when bales of hay would be hoisted upstairs.

In the spring of 1992, before a general election that the Labour Party was expected to win, after thirteen years of Conservative Party rule, Tangerine presented its bathroom at Ideal Standard’s headquarters, in Hull. Grinyer is still annoyed that the company rejected it. One complaint, he recalled, was that if the sink’s column fell it might kill a child; he thought that the column shared this attribute with other big ceramic objects.

While I tried to stick with Xiaomi’s offerings for the purposes of this review, it became simply impossible to do so when, for example, I needed to access the photos synced to my Google account. You may not be able to delete Xiaomi’s apps, but if you are already invested in Google’s ecosystem, it’s also not particularly difficult to just keep on doing what you’re doing. You’ll just have to go through a ton of clicks and confirmations to change your defaults; boy, Xiaomi really doesn’t want you to change those.
