*soupir*Sure, sure, sure, Tokyo's all steel, plastic and concrete. They don't let anything get old here; they tear it down and rebuild it all bland and sterile the moment anything approaching "charming patina" encroaches. But, but, but there are nooks and niches where old things persist. Oldie restaurants, for instance.

In February 2009, Jim McKelvey wasn’t able to sell a piece of his glass art because he couldn’t accept a credit card as payment. Even though a majority of payments has moved to plastic cards, accepting payments from cards is still difficult, requiring long applications, expensive hardware, and an overly complex experience. Square was born a few days later right next to the old San Francisco US Mint. Today the Square team is focused on bringing immediacy, transparency, and approachability to the world of payments: an inherently social interaction each of us participates in daily. We’re starting with a limited beta and rolling out to everyone in early 2010.
ARCHIGRAM dominated the architectural avant garde in the 1960s and early 1970s with its playful, pop-inspired visions of a technocratic future after its formation in 1961 by a group of young London architects – Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron and Michael Webb.
“A new generation of architecture must arise with forms and spaces which seems to reject the precepts of ‘Modern’ yet in fact retains those precepts. We have chosen to by pass the decaying Bauhaus image which is an insult to functionalism. You can roll out steel – any length. You can blow up a balloon – any size. You can mould plastic – any shape. Blokes that built the Forth Bridge – they didn’t worry.”
So wrote David Greene in a poem published in the first issue of Archigram magazine or, as Greene’s co-editor, Peter Cook, called it “a message, or abstract communication”. It was published in 1961 on a large sheet of the cheapest available paper. Filled with Greene’s poems and sketches of architectural projects designed by Cook, Michael ‘Spider’ Webb and other friends, the magazine voiced their frustration with the intellectual conservatism of the British architectural establishment.
The main instrument used for the fulfillment of the mentioned objectives is the co-culture system between MM cells and BMSCs.BMSCs can be separated from hematopoietic cells due to their differencial capacity to adhere to plastic surfaces
First on AppleInsider: A trio of online advertisements that appear to have been published prematurely by one of Apple's international online stores suggest it's only a matter of days before the Mac maker takes the wraps off of new families of ultra-thin iMacs, lighter & thinner plastic MacBooks, and more affordable Mac minis [Updated with other countries].
I am a Dutch paper engineer, based in Arnhem, and my work mainly focuses on the creation of papertoys. I either create completely new characters from scratch or I transform existing characters into papermodels. My speciality is one-piece papertoys, models that consist of a single flat piece of paper, which by intricate folding is transformed into a 3-dimensional model. I also create more complex templates consisting of several parts that are glued together to construct the final model. I've have done commissioned work for the toy industry, for promotional purposes and for books and magazines. Growing up in the seventies and eighties, my personal work is heavily inspired by retro design, videogames, movies, bright plastic toys and TV cartoons. Most of this work can be downloaded for free from my site. So get your knives and glue out, download some of the models and start building. Enjoy!

2d world of advertising is about to be ignored when a message can be slammed together with a service.

Inspired by the proliferation of very tall signs in the American Mid-West, Floating Logos seeks to draw attention to this often overlooked form of advertising. Perched atop very tall poles or stanchions, these corporate beacons emit their message by looming over us in their glowing, plastic perfection. Elimination of the support structure in the photographs allows the signs to literally float above the earth. In some cases the ground is purposefully left out of the image to further emphasize the disconnect between the corporate symbols and terra firma.
]]>The RFID sniffer is a simple analog electronic circuit which can detect the presence of 13.56 MHz RFID tags. These tags are commonly used in all kinds of plastic cards like access badges, bank cards, library cards, loyalty cards and so on. Also many other objects may carry RFID tags without you knowing it. Books, toys, and even clothing might be tagged. Carrying tagged objects with you can reveal your identity or whereabouts to anyone equipped with the appropiate tools to read RFID tags.

Voici la description d’une huile cire totalement écologique qui colore et protège par liaison moléculaire tous types de bois en une seule couche. Le bois trouve donc facilement sa place dans toutes les pièces de la maison comme différents supports (parquet, plan de travail, meuble, salle de bain, bardages, terrasses…). L’entretien est très simple car il suffit de nettoyer les bois avec un mélange d’eau et de savon RubioMonocoat. Produit naturel : sans eau et sans SOV Monocoat contient principalement des produits naturels. Le produit ne contient pas d’eau. Le Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus ne contient pas de Solvants Organiques Volatiles (sans SOV). Agit par réaction chimique naturelle avec des fibres celluloses Rubio Monocoat se fixe dans les premiers microns de la surface du bois traité grâce à une réaction chimique naturelle. Il n’y a donc pas de formation de film ou de système de saturation du bois, ceci donnant une excellente consommation. Protection durable Il se développe une protection durable grâce au lien moléculaire. Pour obtenir ce lien il est indispensable de laisser agir le produit pendant min. 20 sec. Aucun chevauchement L’excédent du Rubio Monocoat ou une deuxième couche ne sera plus absorbé par le bois. Dès que les fibres non-saturées sont liées de façon moléculaire, il est impossible que des chevauchements se produisent encore. Gain de temps : colorer et protéger en UNE couche Appliquer une deuxième couche sur le Rubio Monocoat n’a pas de sens : elle ne peut plus se fixer sur les fibres saturées ni sur la couche de Monocoat déjà appliquée. Facile à rénover Cette nouvelle technologie permet de rénover et réparer des dommages ou des rayures sans chevauchements. Le Rubio Monocoat employé à cette fin se fixera uniquement sur les fibres endommagées. Après le temps de fixation (maximum 15 min). Le surplus peut être enlevé sans problème avec un chiffon doux. Couleur unique La technologie de pigmentation unique en son genre du Rubio Monocoat permet d’obtenir une coloration intense et profonde en une seule couche tout en respectant l’aspect naturel du bois. Le support Rubio Monocoat s’applique sur quasiment tout type de bois, feuille de bois, MDF et HDF. Application Vernis - Application de 2 ou 3 couches (poncer entre les couches). - Couche de protection en plastic appliquée sur le bois. - Les rayures sont irréparables. Cires et huiles traditionnelles - Coloration et protection en une couche avec le même produit est impossible. - La coloration est souvent à base d’eau (=ponçage supplémentaire). - Saturation du bois avec 2 ou 3 couches d’huile. - Entretien intensif afin de maintenir la protection. - Difficile à enlever. - Chevauchement inévitable lors de l’application.
There are different kinds of bowls to consider so you can give your dogs the appropriate kind of bowl. These are: elevated or raised bowls, ceramic, portable, automatic dog feeders, and heavy duty plastic. Dog bowls should be easy to clean, dishwasher safe, tip or spill proof, durable, and safe.
The First World War was a war dominated by high explosives and heavy artillery. Battlefield casualties included an unprecedented number with horrific facial injuries - injuries so severe the men were commonly unrecognizable to loved ones and friends. Often unable to see, hear, speak eat or drink, they struggled to re-assimilate back into civilian life. This secondary tragedy - the living unable to "live" - catalyzed Surgeon Sir Harold Gillies to transform the fledgling discipline of plastic surgery based on his unrivalled observation of the profoundly wounded and his ability to push the parameters of the profession beyond all known techniques.
