Readit NewsHow old are you now? Did th vaccine help your symptoms?
I don't particularly like the house - it's meant to be challenging not beautiful - but with perspective I see now there aren't many creations out there that achieve existence in eternal confusion like it does for me. I see his other works like Bilbao [2] and Disney Hall as refinements on the concept with the added dimension of beauty. They're not quite as memorable, but I think do a great job exploring the frontier of beauty and befuddlement.

I’m jealous that you knew it so well and as just another house.
I'm told that stress can cause shingles to flare up, in that stress also suppresses the immune system, and both my friend and I were going through one of the most stressful phases of our lives at the time, so I always chalked it up to that. Not a very strong hypothesis, though.
I got the shingles vaccine last year.
On a CRT with storage for oscilloscopes or computer monitors, you looked at the stored image, which is why they were called "Direct-view bistable storage tubes".
On the Williams tubes, the processor read back the data stored in the tube, i.e. the stored image was used by the CPU, not by humans, so Williams tubes had no need to contain fluorescent screens. On a viewing tube, there was usually no need to implement a read back method, but only means for writing and erasing.
Both the Williams tubes and the direct-view storage tubes were derived from the iconoscope tubes used before WWII in the early television cameras, according to a proposal made in the famous von Neumann report. In iconoscope tubes, illumination caused by an external image projected on the tube face created an electric charge distribution inside the tube, which was read electronically, generating thus a video signal, so it was the inverse of a direct-view tube, where an electric charge distribution is written inside the tube, where it controls the fluorescence of the screen, creating an image that can be viewed outside. Both iconoscope tubes and direct-view storage tubes differ from simple CRTs by having inside an insulating or semiconducting surface on which a distribution of electric charge can be stored.
The Williams tubes were a form of DRAM. An even earlier kind of DRAM had been used in the Atanasoff-Berry computer, where it was implemented with discrete capacitors and John Atanasoff had been the first who proposed to make a computer memory based on storing electric charge and refreshing it periodically, to prevent discharging.

The "fire sale prices" would be so delicious as to guarantee that the entity(-ies) involved stay solvent as long as meta stays solvent.
I was in the Radio Society and had access to the Green Building (50) roof. The Stata Center actually looks coherent from that angle, and you can tell that was the angle the designers and approvers had been seeing it from (in model form) the whole time.
Making a statement with architecture rarely goes well, especially if you abandon rectilinear structures.
