Rien que d’imaginer les usages détournés que pourraient en faire certains malades, j’en frémi ;(

Ce drone lance-flammes sera un compagnon idéal pour allumer votre barbecue - CNET France
▻https://www.cnetfrance.fr/news/ce-drone-lance-flammes-sera-un-compagnon-ideal-pour-allumer-votre-barbecu
Ce drone facturé 1500 dollars est capable de projeter des flammes à près de 8 mètres de distance.
L’être humain, dans son infinie sagesse, développe des appareils toujours plus surprenants. Le TF-19 WASP est un lance-flammes qui s’adapte sur les drones pour créer ainsi des drones...lance-flammes. Il est capable de viser des cibles aériennes et terrestres, mais s’adresse selon le fabricant américain, à une cible BtoB en général et au secteur de l’agriculture en particulier avec le désherbage ou la destruction d’un nid de frelon comme exemple d’usages.
Au pays du survivalisme, où le droit de posséder une arme est inscrit dans la constitution, nul doute que ce système sera surtout utilisé par des agriculteurs pour faire de l’écobuage et ainsi enrichir le sol avec de la cendre. Le TF-19 WASP est capable de projeter des flammes à 7,62 mètres de distance, il s’installe sur un DJI S1000, un octocoptère d’un mètre d’envergure et ayant une capacité de charge utile de 2,2 kg qui cible les professionnels réalisant des prises de vues aériennes.
« Le TF-19 Wasp est capable d’enflammer des cibles jusqu’à 7,62 mètres de distance. Avec sa capacité de 3,7 litres de carburant, vous avez 100 secondes de temps de déclenchement entre les remplissages » précise la marque.
Comptez 1 499 dollars pour vous offrir cet accessoire dévastateur et prés de 4 000 pour compléter le lance-flamme avec le drone qui va bien.
Pas sûr (euphémisme…) que ce genre de bidule soit autorisé à la vente en France.
C’est comme les mini lance flamme, sorte de jouet qui se vendaient il y a 5 ans sur le net... Un vrai lance flamme, c’est 15 mètres et un vrai carburant bien collant, là c’est plus drôle qu’autre chose (avocat du diable ?).

Customers from Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia snapped up 350 of the villas, according to Hurriyet, at a going rate of $370,000 to $530,000. They specifically asked for the chateau-like design, according to the project’s consulting architect, Naci Yoruk.
Sarot Group Chairman Mehmet Emin Yerdelen blamed his predicament on deadbeat clients.
“We couldn’t get about 7.5 million dollars receivables for the villas we have sold to Gulf countries,” Hurriyet quoted Yerdelen as saying. “We applied for bankruptcy protection but the court ruled for bankruptcy. We will appeal the ruling.”
The group finished building 587 villas before it applied for bankruptcy protection.
Although the court ordered the group to stop construction immediately, Yerdelen is still hopeful.

A lawsuit had been filed against the developers of the Burj Al Babas housing project on grounds that the company destroyed trees and dumped excavated soil on forestland in the district of Mudurnu in the northwestern province of Bolu.
With the criminal case continuing in the Mudurnu court and the company also appealing the court-declared bankruptcy in Istanbul, the firm’s chairman Mehmet Emin Yerdelen told Demirören News Agency on Jan. 16 that the sale of the villas resumed because the Bankruptcy Directorate allowed it.
“Our companies are currently operating in normal conditions under judicial control. Our sales and construction works continue as part of our resumed commercial activities,” he said.
[…]
“But the court now decided on bankruptcy. That was a wrong decision. The total value of the project is about $200 million. We will object to this decision. We still have 250 villas completed and ready to go on sale. Selling only 100 of them would be enough to pay off the debts and complete the project,” Mehmet Emin Yerdelen, the chair of the Sarot Group, told daily Hürriyet.

Trump posted a graphic of the barrier on 21 December 2018, along with the words: “A design of our Steel Slat Barrier which is totally effective while at the same time beautiful!”
twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1076239448461987841/photo/1In response, designers pointed out that the barrier is “technically not a wall” and that if to scale, it would be over 12 metres high and the gaps between the slats would be wide enough for people to squeeze through.

Architect Amin Taha has been served a demolition order for his stone-framed 15 Clerkenwell Close housing block in London, which is shortlisted for a Dezeen Award, and has already won an RIBA Award.
Islington Council issued the order to demolish the six-storey building, because the natural stone used on its facade is not fully detailed in the planning documents.
Taha – who was the architect and developer for the project, and also lives in one of the flats – has launched an appeal against the order, which will be heard in March 2019.
It is the second enforcement notice issued for the building. An initial order to demolish the building was issued in 2017, following confusion caused by the council only uploading some of the planning documents to its online portal.

A team of five designers has created a new brand identity for Russia’s tourist board, which references the graphic style of suprematist artworks.
The design was created following an open competition launched by the Federal Agency for Tourism of the Russian Federation and the Association of Branding Companies of Russia, for a new visual identity to promote tourism in the country.
The winning identity and its slogan “the whole world within Russia” was created by a team of designers from four different Russian agencies: Supremtica, Plenum, Artonika and Art.Lebedev.

2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ Official Poster unveiled at Moscow Metro - FIFA.com
▻http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2017/m=11/news=2018-fifa-world-cup-russiatm-official-poster-unveiled-at-moscow-metro-292
With just three days to go the Final Draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ in the Russian capital, the famed Moscow Metro held the unveiling of the last remaining visual icon of the event. For the 2018 issue of the Official Poster, the renowned Russian artist Igor Gurovich chose legendary Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin as a central figure of his work.
“The Official Poster of the 2018 FIFA World Cup is a true reflection of Russia’s artistic and football heritage,” commented FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura. “We are very proud of this beautiful landmark asset that portrays such an important icon and celebrates the coming tournament on Russian soil.”
“It was very important for us to portray Russia as the Host Country in the Official Poster,” added the Chairman of the Russia 2018 Local Organising Committee Vitaly Mutko. “That’s why we chose Lev Yashin, a symbol of Russian football, as the main figure. I’m sure that the poster will become one of the most memorable symbols of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia and that fans and participants alike will approve of it.”
Yashin played in four FIFA World Cups – 1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970 – and remains the only goalkeeper in the history of football to win the Ballon d’Or. In the poster, he is dressed in his traditional outfit of black shirt and shorts, knee brace and his famous cap. He is shown reaching for the ball, one half of which is a typical football from Yashin’s era, with the other depicting the vast landmass of Russia as seen from space, reflecting a key inspiration of the 2018 FIFA World Cup brand, that of Russia’s achievements in space exploration.
