Erm...no, not exactly. Air conditioning might keep the inside of an enclosure cool, but it makes the outside hotter. Besides, evap cooling works in AZ but only if it's not monsoon season.

There was an attack against the home of some of the senior members of Iranian People's Mujahedin, MKO of cult of Rajavi in Paris last week.

I didn't read much on French or international news, but the attack has the clear footprints of IRGC #Quds force, the main target was a senior member of MKO Masoud Keshmiri who was named as the personal behind the bombing in Tehran back in the summer of 1981 that killed the President Rajaii and Prime Minister #Bahonar.

The attack was always a source of questionable circumstances and many people believed that it was the work of #Rafsanjani and and #Khamenei together with Ali #Rezai the head of IRGC back then who were involved in the #McFarlane trip to #Iran before the US election of 1980 that resulted in a deal between #US government (actually #Republicans and #Reagan) and IRI regime to delay the release of the hostages who were planned to be released in early fall of 1980 in exchange for badly needed spare parts for Iranian #F-14 #TomCat fighter jets and the code to unlock the air to air missiles #Phoenix that #Shah of Iran had purchased before the àrevolution and IRI could not use them because of inability to break the code.

Rejaii was one of the deeply religious hardcore revolutionary who was badly tortured before the revolution in #Evin àprison and a man of principals who was 100% against the deal specially after he found out that most of the parts and àweapons delivered to Iran were actually came from an unmarked ship fromFrenxh port of #Marseille but it made a stop in Israeli port of #Haifa to load the weapons.

2 days before his death, #Rejaii made a famous speech that condemned those "naive individuals in the country who believed they could purchase weapons from an arh enemy of the nation in order to fight the little insignificant devil #Saddam that Iran could easily deal with".

The deal hlgave Reagan the landslide wicrory over #Carter who Khomeini hated more than anyone because he brokered a peace deal between #Israel and #Egypt and he, in his typical short sighted stupidity believed Reagan would be a friend of Iran in it's fight against the " pro #Soviet #Saddam".

The rest is history and we all know the sad and pathetic stupidity of #Khomeini and his closest inner circle gave the world a monster that setup the foundation to the shitty world we live in.

But for the stupid and ignorant followers of Khomeini, who never admitted that it was Israeli weapons and spare parts that turned the war around and let Iran almost destroy the entire Iraqi air force in series of attacks including one that goes to history as one of the longest direct hit of a French Mirage 1 (one of 3 that French government has lent to Saddam) from 150km distance using one of the $2.5M phoenix missiles, the blame was on MKO and not the evil Trio of IRI inner mafia.

So the last week's assassination brought "closer" to a 42 years old revenge against the puppet in the game of much more evil forces inside and outside IRI regime.

PS. Some say that #Macron's phone call with #Reisi was triggered by the #assassination in #Paris, buth both parties seems to have chosen not to talk about it in public.

Mid-century Phoenix home receives updates and expanded living space

Phoenix home

This home at the foot of Camelback Mountain in Arizona has been thoroughly renovated by 180 Degrees Design + Build and CBTWO Architects with updated finishes and a new double-height living room.

Located in Phoenix, the Brandaw Residence was originally built in the 1960s, and in need of a refresh.

Local architects 180 Degrees Design + Build teamed up with Oregon-based CBTWO to update the home.

The team completely re-clad the exterior of the 4,930-square-foot (458-square-metre) home in a white stucco finish. They also took this opportunity to simplify its form, creating orthogonal corners and a consistent line at the parapet.

"Our goal was to focus less on the architecture, and allow the beauty of the site dictate the organisation of space, both horizontal and vertical," said the team. "From here it was an exercise in restraint and subtraction."

The residence is V-shaped in plan, with two wings that meet at a central living room.

This space was demolished and rebuilt completely, receiving a new pitched roof that directs the gaze upwards and towards the mountain behind the home.

"The design team, along with the owner, agreed to reorganise much of the interior uses to create a stronger relationship to its environment, allowing the interior spaces to capture the incredible dynamics of the surrounding mountains and distant views," the architects explained.

The entrance to the home is at the intersection of both wings, which now is highlighted by a yellow steel portal.

"The steel portal, painted in vibrant yellow to mimic the yellow blooms of the desert plants, compresses as you enter the home," said the architects.

Immediately through the door is a dramatic fireplace that creates a separation from the entrance and the living room beyond.

Full-height glazing wraps this room on two sides, helping to connect the interior living spaces to the back yard, which was also overhauled as part of the renovation.

"The beauty of the architecture now becomes a canvas on which the desert environment and mountain can exist," said the architects.

The wings of the home contain four bedrooms and other private areas, with the primary bedroom enjoying its own wing for additional privacy.

These areas received a lighter touch but were still updated with new flooring, finishes, and simplified windows that give the residence a cohesive feel.

Phoenix is among the fastest-growing US cities, resulting in many new-build and renovation projects.

Others to recently complete include a home with a "zen-like" quality and a board-marked concrete residence for a ceramicist.
