There are various technical colleges where to choose, however – it can be difficult to decide those are colleges of quality, and that are not. Technical schools offer a huge number of different programs, from electronics to HVAC to plumbing to sheetmetal work to refrigeration and cooling technologies. All of them have different admissions requirements and different ways to teaching class material. Their instructors have numerous skills and levels of primary career experience within their areas of teaching, as well. (like, some HVAC instructors have worked HVAC careers for ten years before they taught; different HVAC coaches just have classroom and book knowledge.) And, some universities acknowledge financial aid packages, although some place education funding right in students’ hands.
The air ducts within your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning or HVAC system have the effect of creating satisfactory indoor air quality. Though they’re more commonly credited if you are a source of ventilation, these ducts also serve a major objective in air conditioning through thermal insulation. As a reward, they also help improve energy efficiency.
The Way to Choose An Expert HVAC Technician in Carol Stream
After I was in the field, among my most important tools (besides safety equipment) was my electric testing meter. An essential troubleshooting tool for HVAC specialist together with electricians. From my personal experience, that is one resource you shouldn’t skimp on. Spending a bit more $$$ for your appropriate assessment meter can get a long way. I know it can be hard to pass up the $100-meter for the $270 one, especially when you’re fresh, just starting in the industry, and do not have much cash. But believe me, should you buy the less expensive meter, you will pay for it ultimately anyway.
Think about the cost of replacement versus repair. We all would like to get the most from any products or equipment we obtain. It is instinctual for people to try to fit every last little bit of life out of them, particularly when we observe smaller dollar figures attached with the cost of the repair rather than replacement. It’s important, however, to find out what the total amount of cash is the fact that you are throwing into repairs versus replacing the system. In the long haul, there will come a spot when it’s financially beneficial for one to replace broken gear in place of repair it.
Homeowners know you need to find a respected HVAC company before temperatures become too severe. If your house has already been a touch too warm or too cool, you’re likely in the market for a heating and cooling expert today. To not fear, hiring a reliable HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) company does not need to be daunting. Look at the following five guidelines that each homeowner is aware of hiring HVAC companies.
Common Gas Furnace Parts and Issues in Carol Stream Illinois
Your HVAC system is probably one of the most critical components of your home. This is how you heat your home in winter and cool it in summer. It really is among your homeis most significant expenses and contains a significant influence on your home comfort.
Dirty, moldy air ducts may be coming all sorts of particles into your home. Even when this is simply not creating health problems for you personally or your family, you could still wish to consider hiring a cleaning service to clean your ducts. That’s because those particles may be purchasing furniture, rugs and other surface aspects of your home, adding to an unpleasant build-up of soil, dust and soil that’s equally unsightly plus a pain to scrub.
Buying your own personal home is one of the greatest pleasures of adulthood, but maintaining a home arrives with many problems also. A vital element to living in a comfortable home is having an HVAC system that is working properly. The capacity to change your heating and cooling choices inside while maintaining proper air quality filtration and ventilation all hinge with this system operating at its full potential.
I will be honest and inform you I was one those professionals that didn’t wish to spend too much and bought the cheaper meter. Just starting out and assumed a meter is a meter. Well I quickly realized it wasn’t worth it. I don’t want to bash any brand names available, therefore I will not specify the meter I purchased. And that I will say it was not an awful meter, and most of the time did the work well. But there were times when the reading was not really appropriate, and after about 8 weeks, the housing starting coming apart. I also found one of many purpose a meter may cost less, is it has a diminished protection status and you have a bigger chance getting injured when utilizing it on live circuits. I had to buy a new meter with-within the first-year I had been a specialist. Constantly be sure your meter meets minimum requirements per NFPA 70E regulation (National Fire Protection Association).
No body wants that remedy plus it really is accurate, the solution is dependent upon your customer base along with your goals. I’ve found however, that not getting all your eggs in a single basket is an excellent solution to market. It does not mean you’ll not heavily favor one type of marketing over another. In 2011is terms, most regions still find a large amount of achievement in direct mail, specifically postcard marketing, so on your company you could spend 50% of your marketing budget on direct mail, some might want to spend 80% after which again some may not commit any on direct mail.

Since the dawn of the Cold War, school safety programs have been teaching kids to “duck and cover” under their desks in a crisis.
But Russian missiles are no longer the most likely classroom threat.
With a rise in school and campus armed attacks, strategies need to change, says Jesus Villahermosa, a consultant who trains educators in crisis response. He’s also a sergeant with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
He believes in empowering students to run from danger if they can, hide in silence if they can’t, or use other tactics that have helped students survive school killing sprees.
Even elementary school kids can learn these strategies, he says.
“Ninety percent of school shootings happen during passing periods,” he told an audience Wednesday during a school safety symposium in Lakewood. “We have to start training our kids, because you are not going to be there 100 percent of the time.”
Wednesday’s event drew about 75 educators and emergency managers from Washington and Oregon to the campus of Clover Park Technical College. The event was sponsored by Homeland Security Outlook of Connecticut and Eric Holdeman & Associates of Puyallup.
Mary Schoenfeldt, who works with the Everett Office of Emergency Management and also as a private consultant, spoke about what she learned from visiting Newtown, Conn., after the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012.
Sandy Hook had prepared for a crisis. Emergency plans were made and practiced. Access was restricted. Still, a gunman was able to force his way inside and kill 26 students and staff.
Schoenfeldt emphasized that schools need to prepare not only for a crisis, but for the aftermath. She said they should have a plan for reuniting parents and kids, and a strategy for intercepting and supporting parents whose children may be seriously injured or dead.
One lesson learned from Sandy Hook: “The volunteer firehouse — maybe a block away — was their designated reunification center. But it was too close.”
Parents should be told before a crisis occurs what the reunification plan is, where to gather and how they will be kept informed.
She stressed the importance of keeping parents informed with accurate information in a crisis. They need to know someone is in control, Schoenfeldt said.
“Stay calm. Provide facts. Don’t speculate,” she said.
Candice Wright, a member of the Long Beach, Calif., Police Department and part of an FBI joint terrorism task force, has worked on school shootings and was involved in responding to the Nov. 1 shooting at Los Angeles International Airport.
She told educators Wednesday that in a crisis they should be prepared to communicate effectively both with parents and with the news media.
“If you don’t give them information, somebody else will,” Wright said.
The conference was held on a day when three Pittsburgh teens were injured in a shooting outside their high school, which led to a lockdown. Police there said the shooting may have been tied to a drug-related fight at the school last month.
Frank Hewins, superintendent of the Franklin Pierce School District and chairman of the Washington State School Safety Advisory Committee, was in the audience Wednesday. His district is using federal grant money to improve safety. But he stressed that state funding is needed to help school districts train employees in new emergency preparedness methods.
“The expectation by the community, rightfully so, is that we should be keeping kids safe,” Hewins said.

Production of "Binderless" Diamond Compact Tools
Small Business Information
Diamond Materials, Inc.
C/o Structured Materials, Ind., Inc., 120 Centennia, Piscataway, NJ, 08854
AbstractDiamond Materials Incorporated, in partnership with Rutgers University and two large U.S. tool manufacturers, propose to develop a new class of high performance tools made from binderless compacts of polycrystalline diamond. This program will use advanced technology imported through ONR sponsorship. The technology to be implemented in this program will replace the present Polycrystalline Diamond Compacts (PCDs) technology, wherein sintered diamond pellets are produced commercially from 20-70 micron size diamond powder by high pressure compaction methods, using metal binders (Co, Si, Ni). Use of the metal binder reduces the thermal stability of the compacts. This limits the applications for the PCDs. The hardness and toughness of binderless Polycrystalline Diamond material is equivalent to those of naturally formed polycrystalline diamond - "carbonado". The result of this program will be development of an economical U.S. based manufacturing capability of superior machining and drilling tools. This will lead to stronger U.S. market leadership as well as improved manufacturing capabilities as a whole for commercial and military manufacturers. Anticipated Benefits: Binderless polycrystalline diamond compacts represent a new class of tool and rock drilling materials for a variety of military and civilian applications, with properties superior to those currently in use.

'Escape' to Motel Backfired During Storm
Published: Friday, September 10, 2010 at 6:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 10, 2010 at 6:52 p.m.
HAINES CITY | When Ivan Stewart saw the news about Hurricane Donna's strength on TV and heard over his shortwave radio that the storm had knocked over the Fort Myers airport tower, he didn't want to leave to chance whether his small, wood-frame house would survive.
"I hadn't been through one of these storms, and I thought we'd better be careful," said Stewart, 88, speaking in that same Haines City home, which is now much bigger after some additions. "I thought it would be safer on the other side of town."
So Stewart; his wife, Gladys; and their three children checked into a recently built motel at a truck stop on U.S. 27 in Haines City, just a couple of miles away.
As Donna passed over, rain began pouring through cracks in the window and under the door, said Ivan Stewart and his son, Charles, 54. They put towels at the foot of the door to keep the rainwater out.
The next morning, the door had gotten so wet, the wood expanded, making it impossible to open, Charles Stewart said.
"We had to exit through the windows," he recalled.
Downed trees blocked off the streets leading back to the family's house, he said, so they had to park the car and walk.
When they got home, the Stewarts found many trees and branches on and around the house, but the building itself had come through undamaged.

There’s just no way to eat ribs without reverting to behavior of the most bestial of Neanderthal carnivores, using your teeth to rip flesh from bone as your mouth is smeared with fat and sauce. It doesn’t matter how many napkins or towelettes you use. You’ll still end your rib-eating session with the telltale evidence on your shirt or stuck between your teeth. Ribs aren’t really the smartest thing to serve at weddings, but we served them at our wedding because we’re dedicated carnivores.
Some of the best ’cue outside of Texas can be found in Castroville, where a mean little guy who looks and sounds just like Willie Nelson dishes up ribs and the tastiest pepper sausages you’ve ever eaten in your life. But, if you can’t make the four-hour trek to the coast and you have a hankering for barbecue, you’ll find what you need in the unlikely environs of Rocklin.
Not so long ago, Rocklin was a one-stoplight burg with just one restaurant, Mexican. Now the town has become a huge, yuppified suburb filled with chain stores, and the tiny downtown has been carefully refurbished. Around the corner from city hall, next to a laundromat, is Emanuel’s Chicken and Ribs. Lending a note of authenticity is a huge smoker, some bags of charcoal and some rounds of wood carefully stacked in the dirt lot next door. The restaurant itself is nondescript, with a television mounted overhead. Most of Emanuel’s customers take his ribs to go.
Emanuel Sims opened his storefront several years ago, after his catering business took off. He boasts that his ribs have served celebrities and that crowds will wait patiently in line for hours to eat his barbecue. After tasting his pork ribs, you’ll see why. You know how, when you eat ribs at a chain restaurant, they have the same consistency throughout—either tender or dry all along the length of the bone? Well, Emanuel’s ribs, logically enough, reward the eater with a variety of textures: slightly chewy on the part of the bone that cooked farthest from the fire, tender in the middle and slightly charred on the other end.
Emanuel claims the secret ingredient here is time, plus a pinch of sunshine and a few extra smiles. The flavor is a revelation, smoky but not overpoweringly so, that needs only the lightest coat of the tangy, spicy sauce to set off the richness of the meat. In fact, the meat would be better served with the sauce on the side rather than slathered on top.
The barbecued chicken was equally tasty but not as tender, and the hot links could have used a little more time on the grill. Unfortunately, the restaurant was not serving beef or baby back ribs on my recent visit.
There are two kinds of ribs devotees: the kind who will eat only, say, beef ribs; and the kind who will eat anything and everything if it’s been slow-cooked in a smoker. If you’re of the latter persuasion, you’re in luck at Emanuel’s, because the restaurant serves several combos, including a chicken, sausage and ribs combo ($14.99); and LaVerne’s Plate ($12), which is just chicken and ribs. You can order ribs only, or chicken by the quarter or whole. Dinners ($8.75-$14.99) come with salad, chili beans, rolls and your choice of sides, from twice-baked potatoes to cole slaw.
Emanuel’s meats are indeed superior, but side dishes can be the way a rib joint really elevates itself from the pack. When the restaurant opened, it served a full complement of Southern sides, including greens, corn bread, black-eyed peas and candied yams. I guess the folks in Rocklin were too sophisticated to enjoy down-home soul food. No one ever ordered the stuff, and now those options are gone from the menu. The remaining choices are somewhat pedestrian. The chili beans were decent but fairly run-of-the-mill. The twice-baked potato showed some imagination and was seasoned well.
The back of the menu reads, “Bibs are optional, utensils are optional, but a great time had by all is mandatory.” That won’t be a problem if you’re a rib aficionado. In a nice parting touch, the restaurant offers its diners a warmed wet hand towel to help obliterate some of the evidence. And, if you eat these ribs with the relish they deserve, you’ll need that help.

Surprise position outlook: No. 3 starter
Today's position: No. 3 starter
Derek Holland took a step back in 2012. And he knows it. After a terrific finish to 2011 where he put up one of the best postseason performances in franchise history in his Game 4 World Series start, Holland arrived at spring training ready to prove that what he accomplished in the second half of 2011 was something he could duplicate for a whole season.
Otto Greule Jr/Getty ImagesDerek Holland wasn't at his best last season and struggled with the long ball.
He was 12-7 with a 4.67 ERA in 27 starts (175 1/3 innings) in 2012. His ERA was nearly three-quarters of a run higher than in 2011 and he didn't pitch as many innings, thanks to disabled list stint for left shoulder fatigue. Holland wasn't at 100 percent for the whole season and that's one thing he wants to fix in 2013.
But the long ball was also a problem. Holland allowed 32 home runs in 2013, fifth most in the American League. That's something Holland wants to cut down.
Holland is a hard worker and he wants to get better. He's been working this offseason on getting stronger and is highly motivated for the upcoming season. He said he wants to follow Matt Harrison's blueprint (a smart move) and he asked and received a chance to sit down with Rangers CEO and Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan to discuss what he could improve on. Among the things that Holland talked to Ryan about: Working different sides of the plate and staying in the game longer. The key is location.
"He said I’ve got to stay focused out there and not do too much to over-think things," Holland said earlier this offseason. "Just go out there and grind it out. He agreed with me on working on location, which is something I asked him about. The only time I got beat was missing spots. And if I got beat, too, it would be a home run. I gave up too many. It’s not that I was trying to pitch like I did in the minor leagues where I could blow a fastball by you anywhere and not have to worry about location, it was that I missed spots."
It's a big year for Holland to prove he can get back to the guy that was so solid down the stretch in 2011 and in Game 4 of the World Series. The good news for Rangers fans is that Holland knows it and is already at work.

It feels like it’s been a long time since I did a book round up (Spring 2018 to be exact!). With a fresh year upon us, there’s no better time to get back on the horse. I feel compelled to mention that I have been reading a lot – my hold list is long at our local library, trust me! – it’s finding the time to blog that’s the trickier part. Regardless, today I have rounded up some reads that have intrigued me, some that I missed picking up in 2018 and some anticipated new releases. Looking forward to diving in! Here are my 10 winter reads.
I would be remiss not to include a design related book and I think every human on the planet loves Joanna Gaines. Since this particular read didn’t make its way into my stocking at Christmas, it’s definitely going on my winter list!
When a disease starts affecting a college town causing unstoppable sleep and vividly strange dreams, chaos ensues, transforming the lives of ordinary people. I’m intrigued by one sentence – this new release seems like it will be an immediate success.
The Year of Magical Thinking
This is not a new release but when it popped up on a recommended list, I had to include it. Anyone who has lost some close to them, and everyone who knows that sooner or later this experience will be a part of one’s own life, will treasure and be moved by Joan Didion’s personal story. At its very core it reminds us that every day is a gift. A good reminder at the outset of a new year.
The Water Cure
There’s a mixed bag of reviews on this one and whether or not a feminist dystopia is an accurate description. Regardless, Margaret Atwood gave it a thumbs so that’s enough for me! The premise: A father removes his three daughters and wife from civilization, living on a remote beach. He suddenly disappears leaving the women to confront some new male visitors, who they’ve been taught to fear.
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address.
I know this isn’t a new release but I stumbled upon it at Powell’s Books on our last trip to Portland. I don’t think it got as much exposure in Canada and so I’m adding it to my winter list. With a Pulitzer under its belt, Less tells the tale of a struggling novelist who travels the world to avoid an awkward wedding, not expecting it to change his own world.
A new novel from Sarah Jessica Parker’s imprint, SJP for Hogarth: A deeply affecting debut novel set in Trinidad, following the lives of a family as they navigate impossible choices about scarcity, loyalty, and love. A human story that we could all benefit from.
For the memoir lovers: The acclaimed and beloved author of Hourglass now gives us a new memoir about identity, paternity, and family secrets—a real-time exploration of the staggering discovery she recently made about her father, and her struggle to piece together the hidden story of her own life.
Her Body and Other Parties
Again, not a new release, but one that may resonate even more with the current climate. Earthy and otherworldly, antic and sexy, queer and caustic, comic and deadly serious, Her Body and Other Parties swings from horrific violence to the most exquisite sentiment.
Maid explores the underbelly of upper-middle class America and the reality of what it’s like to be in service to them. As Stephanie begins to discover more about her clients’ lives-their sadness and love, too-she begins to find hope in her own path.
Which winter reads are on your list?! Share with me so I can add them to my library hold queue!! lol
Happy Reading Everyone!

Robert Edgar Burns
What Is A Son?
A promise of tomorrow.
A namesake shining through.
A bloodline that continues on,
Through eternal springs of youth.
New strength as from a lion.
But, in his softness like a lamb,
Emerges a new warrior,
From this boy now turned a man.
For what is life but battles?
Each new day a victory won.
It takes the courage of a soldier,
To be raised up as a son.
So guard your heart my son, my own.
And always seek out truth.
May this wisdom always stay with you,
When you have left behind your youth.
Swaddled in blue cotton clothing
Encompassed you the day we met.
No matter how your light may shine,
That bright day I will not forget.
Whether a son packs a pilots parachute,
Or streaks across the sprawling sky,
Every son is just as valuable,
Whether he goes or stays behind.
Daddy served proudly in the Army
But the Navy you would rather choose,
I could not be much prouder
Than I have always been of you!

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says that he would like to sign a striker as back-up to Harry Kane.
Spurs have Heung-Min Son and Clinton N’Jie who can play as forwards, but no out-and-out striker to support and back up Kane.
Pochettino and the club pursued Saido Berahino in the summer, but West Brom refused to sell the striker. Pochettino refused to discuss Berahino specifically.
“I’m very happy with my squad but always in every position you can improve,” said Pochettino. “We have offensive players who can play like Harry. There is Son (Heung-min) or (Nacer) Chadli or Clinton (N’Jie) — they can play like a striker.
“But maybe it’s true (that Spurs will sign a striker in January). I recognise they are not specifically strikers so maybe we will work to try to find such a player who we can add in the next transfer window or in the summer to try to help the team. It is important we find someone who is very specific.
When asked whether Berahino was a target for the club, Pochettino was coy.
“We never speak in public about another club’s player. We need to show respect. Of course we are interested in different players — that is our job.”
That said, it’s clear that Spurs would still like Berahino. Now to persuade West Brom to sell after playing hardball over the summer.

Egyptian authorities have announced the discovery of an intact tomb of a royal priest, with more than 4,400 years old, in the Saqqara pyramid complex near Cairo. Excavations start tomorrow.
A team of archaeologists revealed this Saturday the discovery of a tomb with more than 4,400 years, the final resting place of a royal priest.
Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, described the discovery as "unique in the last decades."
The tomb found in the Saqqara pyramid complex near Cairo is full of colorful hieroglyphs and statues of pharaohs. Decorative scenes show the owner, a royal priest named Wahtye, with his mother, wife and other relatives.
Excavations are going to start tomorrow, December 16, and archaeologists are expecting more discoveries, including the owner's sarcophagus.

Brisbane joins Sydney and Melbourne in payphone battle against Telstra
Brisbane City Council has joined the Federal Court battle between major cities and Telstra over the telecommunications giant's right to install new large advertising billboards with its payphones.
Brisbane City joins Melbourne City Council and the City of Sydney as the third respondent in Telstra's Federal Court case, foreshadowed by The Australian Financial Review in April.
"We don’t oppose Brisbane City Council joining the proceedings as we look for certainty and one judgment that applies across Australia," a Telstra spokesman said.
JCDecaux declined to comment.
A Brisbane City Council spokeswoman said Telstra is seeking a Federal Court declaration it can install the new payphones with advertising panels under its powers in the Telecommunications Act.
"As Commonwealth legislation prevails over state legislation and local laws, the outcome of the proceeding could have an impact on Brisbane and the approval process for the installation of any such devices," she said.
"Brisbane disagrees with Telstra’s construction of the relationship between the new payphone cabinets containing an advertising panel and the relevant provisions of the Telecommunications Act 1997."
A hearing has been set for October 23 in the Victorian arm of the Federal Court.
The City of Melbourne had initially launched a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal action in March. Telstra then moved to escalate the dispute to the Federal Court after it was clear several councils were concerned about the payphone upgrades.
The City of Sydney joined as an applicant after Telstra pushed the action to the Federal Court.
The upgrade includes 1860 payphones across Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide being installed with large digital advertising boards. In March, the City of Melbourne rejected 81 applications for JCDecaux to upgrade Telstra payphones, including new 75-inch (190-centimetre) digital advertising screens.
The dispute over the upgrade of the payphones, revealed by the Financial Review in January, has been the source of tension between Telstra, its partner French outdoor advertising giant JCDecaux and major city councils.
In May, the City of Sydney scrapped its $300 million advertising tender, of which JCDecaux is the incumbent, over the payphones which the council argues go beyond what Telstra is allowed to install under the Telecommunications Act.
JCDecaux and Telstra are arguing that the upgraded digital panels with the payphones fall under the federal Telecommunications Act criteria for low-impact facilities (LIF), which are exempt from state and local council regulation.
According to documents filed with the Federal Court by Telstra, the telco is seeking a national ruling that its new payphones fall within the LIF and that it may continue to occupy the land which the network is on without consent from the land owner or occupier under legislation in the Telecommunications Act.
In Adelaide, which is not part of the Federal Court proceedings at this point in time, 49 applications for new payphone upgrades had been delayed becaused safety concerns had not been met. The City of Adelaide previously noted if Telstra and JCDecaux want brands beyond Telstra advertising on the booths, it will require council approval, even if the installation of the payphones does not.

Terence Irwin is Professor of Ancient Philosophy in the University of Oxford, and Fellow of Keble College.
The Oxford Translation of Aristotle was originally published in twelve volumes between 1912 and 1954. The revised edition contains the substance of the original translation, slightly emended in light of recent scholarship; three of the original versions have been replaced by new translations; and a new and enlarged selection of fragments has been added. The aim of the translation remains the same: to make the surviving works of Aristotle readily accessible to English-speaking readers.
Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.
The Stoic writings of the philosopher Seneca, who lived from c. 5 BC to AD 65, offer powerful insights into the art of living, the importance of reason and morality, and continue to provide profound guidance to many through their eloquence, lucidity and timeless wisdom. This selection of Seneca's orks was taken from the Penguin Classics edition of Dialogues and Letters, translated by C.D.N. Costa, and includes the essays On the Shortness of Life, Consolation to Helvia, and On Tranquility of Mind.

Before speaking at a photo op last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told a group of students that they would not have to wear masks and something to the effect that they do not do anything. He went on to say that it was all part of the COVID theater. However, you come down on the mask issue. As DeSantis pointed out, your choice will determine how you view the interchange with the students.
The left uses words like chide, admonish and barked at. Predictably Associated Press tilted the event as unfavorable.
The right side of the aisle was more optimistic about what happened. Most conservative pundits have focused on the ludicrous moving off the goalposts of COVID policy and the flat-out mistruths about the efficacy of the masks. DeSantis said aloud what many people were thinking and it was a breath of fresh air. As usual, very few people have focused on what the kids want.
From early on, it has been known that 18-year-olds and under are at minimal risk from COVID-19. For the first time in modern history, the adults transferred the risks to the kids. Instead of allowing students to breathe fresh air and socially interact with each other (this was especially important for the younger children), we used fear as an excuse to muzzle our kids. They will not forget, nor should they.
The tide has turned on the COVID narrative. Dr. Fauci is reduced to warning about a TB outbreak possibility from the conflict in Ukraine. The nation looked at 70,000 maskless people at the Super Bowl and collectively decided it was time to move on. The media has switched over to the crisis in Ukraine. It cannot help itself, however, when it can attack DeSantis. Unfortunately for them, most Americans side with the Florida Governor. And so do the kids.

My circle of friends is full of nerdy, artistic and theatrical types, which means I’ve seen a lot of brilliant costumes over the years: for productions, for Halloween, and just for the sake of looking fantastic at a convention. (I’ve also created a few, not to brag.) I’ve worked at Renaissance faires and have been to a few conventions, both of which are great for people-watching, and I’m amazed at the creativity, ingenuity and talent that I’ve seen from cosplayers. 3D printing has given cosplayers an entirely new tool of creation, and we’ve written about a lot of remarkable artists and hobbyists who have used the technology to design incredible costumes and props.
There’s no shortage of venues for cosplayers to display their costuming talent – or for us to find awesome 3D printed costumes to write about. Recently, Boston hosted the annual PAX East convention, an event dedicated to the gaming community. Plenty of photos have emerged from the convention, which took place from April 22-24, and while a lot of impressive work was displayed, one of the most stunning came from Bindi Smalls, aka Natasha Spokish, whose 3D printed costuming work we have written about before. Smalls’ amazing designs, which she has displayed at several conventions across the US, apparently caught the eye of Dark Rift Entertainment, which commissioned her and a fellow designer to 3D print a costume from their recently-released Embers of War game for PAX East.
Because Embers of War was announced only a few days before PAX East, Smalls and her fellow designer (Sox of Sox Cosplay and Props) were given only a month to develop the costume – which, incredibly, they pulled off, thanks to a total of 11 3D printers – nine LulzBot TAZ 5 printers, a LulzBot Mini, and a Form 2. After a total of 1700 print hours, they had a phenomenal suit of armor, complete with rocket boots and jet pack, printed in eSUN PLA.
Then came the finishing and assembly of the 80-something parts, which was a massive undertaking in itself. According to Smalls, the sanding alone took about 20 hours, after which the pieces were spray-painted in multiple layers. Bright silver-gray paint was covered with a darker shade, which was then rubbed away with mineral spirits for a weathered look.
“I really like this method of weathering, it appears much more natural and there are no brush strokes!” says Smalls.
The huge rocket boots required an interior structure of steel bars, and the whole thing was rigged together with a combination of straps, wires and foam. A non-disclosure agreement required that the game and studio be kept secret until the game’s release, so the big reveal happened at the convention – Smalls was dressed as Gwen, Embers of War’s Grand Marshall, and she looked nothing short of incredible.
I’m amazed that these two talented designers were able to complete such an ambitious project in only a month’s time, but the sheer amount of printers and supplies that the two have invested in shows that they’re very dedicated to and serious about their work. Smalls, whose work you can see more of at her Facebook and Instagram pages, states that she had a complete 3D scan of herself taken at a Shapify booth at last year’s CES event, which has been a huge help in designing new costumes. She and Sox have started up a cosplay business, GeekFabLab – right now the link goes to an Etsy shop, but a full website will be coming soon. You can read more detail about this particular project here. Discuss further in the 3D Printed Cosplay forum over at 3DPB.com.

A medical worker wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) inserts a Covid-19 test tube into a box at a drive-thru test site at the Alemany Farmers Market in San Francisco, California, November 19, 2020.
David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images
Stanford University researchers have identified five new cases of a “double mutant” Covid-19 strain recently discovered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Doctors suspect it may be more contagious and may be resistant to existing vaccines.
The new variant originated in India, where it is attributed to a recent 55% increase in the number of cases in Maharashtra state, home to Mumbai, after months of declining cases.
It contains two major mutations, which scientists call E484Q and L452R, that have been found separately in other variants, but not together in a single strain, according to Dr. Benjamin Pinsky, medical director of Stanford’s clinical virology lab, who discovered the new variant in the US.
“There is a fair amount of information about how these mutations behave in viruses alone, but not in combination,” Pinsky said in an interview.
In other variants, the L452R mutation has been shown to make the virus more transmissible. There is also some evidence that antibodies do not recognize that mutation found in other strains to reduce the effectiveness of vaccines.
The E484Q mutation has also been shown to be less susceptible to neutralizing antibodies, which help fight the coronavirus. It is too early to say whether the mutation makes the virus more contagious.
“But you would expect that in combination with the L452R, there could be an increase in transmission and a decrease in antibody neutralization,” Pinsky said.
If the mutation makes the virus more resistant to antibodies, it could reduce the effectiveness of both vaccines and antibody treatments, which Pinsky says have become a critical tool for doctors in the fight against Covid-19.
“I suspect that existing vaccines will be somewhat less effective at preventing infection from this new variant,” he said, “but all vaccines are extremely effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths.”
Treatment with Eli Lilly bamlanivimab antibodies has been shown to be less effective in treating strains containing the E484Q or L452R mutations. US health regulators stopped distribution of that antibody treatment last month, saying it was not as effective against the new variants.
The double mutant variant “has known mutations in the scariest place to have a mutation – the receptor binding domain, where the virus clings to cells in our body to get in,” said Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease expert at the US. University of California San Francisco. “The mutations are either identical or eerily similar to mutations in variants we already know, scientifically proven to be more transmissible and / or evade vaccines. Therefore, many believe this Indian variant will also have these superpowers.”
Tom Kenyon, Chief Health Officer at Project HOPE and the former director of Global Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said scientists are finding more mutations, at least in part, because new CDC director Dr. supervision. “So the more we look for these, the more we will find them,” he said.
“There’s something about the ‘double’ world that scares people and it sounds like it’s doubly bad,” Kenyon said in an interview. “Any mutation that affects transmissibility or viral replication would be dangerous.”
It’s possible the new variety will remain in the Bay Area, unlike the UK’s B.1.1.7 variety, which has become the predominant species pretty much everywhere, Chin-Hong said.
“If the British variant goes into a boxing ring with the Indian variant, the British variant will likely come out victorious. But only time will tell,” said Chin-Hong.
The longer it takes to vaccinate the world, the more chances the virus has of mutating into even worse strains, scientists say. Walensky of the CDC has warned of “impending doom” in the US as states roll back Covid-19 restrictions. She has urged people to get vaccinated and continue to follow public health precautions, including wearing masks and practicing social distance.
“The variants that scare me the most are the ones that haven’t been invented yet … the more the virus replicates, we’ll keep seeing these escape mutants,” said Chin-Hong. “We need global vaccine equality and an ongoing fight against pandemic fatigue.”
California plans to lift most Covid restrictions on June 15, but still plans to maintain a mask mandate.

Clue Murder Mystery Night – One of the easiest Halloween Party Themes for Adults
Who did it? Nobody will know until the game is over! But, you can take your best guess. This easy Halloween party theme for adults can be planned in one of two ways.
- Simply invite friends over for a murder mystery night dinner and game night with a few drinks.
- Invite your friends for Clue Murder Mystery Night and set up the place for some Halloween fun!
If you are just looking to get everyone together, Clue is a great game to play around Halloween. However; if you really want to do up this adult Halloween party theme – here are a few tips:
- Ask everyone to attend as their favorite character from the game.
- Set up the game board in a room where the lights are off and play by candlelight.
- Have creepy music on in the background.
- Make a Halloween alcoholic punch ready to share and name it after a character or one of the items that is used.
- Request each guest bring a fall/Halloween themed dessert to share after you’ve solved the mystery!
Halloween party games for adults are always a good idea!
Horror Flick Movie Night
Costumes or sans costumes, you can’t watch horror films with the kiddos around! Invite your besties over, prep some of these super fun party treats, and watch some good old fashioned horror films! Inside or outside this is a winner of a Halloween party themes for adults!
Halloween Al Fresco
In many places you can still dine outside even if there is a chill in the air. After all, that’s what fire pits and bonfires are for!
This is one of the adult Halloween party themes I like the most. It doesn’t have to be scary, just put a little bit into the setup and enjoy a night sans kids with some wonderful wine, adult conversation, and fantastic food!
Menu suggestions for an al fresco get together this October:
- Pumpkin soup
- Tossed salad with roasted pumpkin seeds, Honey Crisp apples, and goat cheese topped with a red wine dressing
- Acorn Squash roasted with maple syrup, butter, and cinnamon
- Maple Salmon or Maple Glazed Oven Baked Chicken Thighs

End the evening with a pumpkin decorating contest (adult version), or gather around a fire pit with some amazing Hot Apple Cider Spiked with Rum.
Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos)
When you first hear of Day of the Dead, or Dia de Muertos as it is called in Spanish, you may have visions of something scary, but honestly, it’s quite the opposite. Traditionally, this celebration began in Mexico, however; many different Latin countries celebrate this holiday. It’s a day where you honor the lives of your loved ones who have passed on. That day, you celebrate what they loved in life. Altars are set up for the loved ones that the family is celebrating that include a photograph of the person.
Family might also decorate their gravesite or make their favorite foods and drinks. The best part about this celebration is that it is believed that loved ones awake and party right along with their family. Regardless, this theme still might be a bit much for the kiddos that haven’t been raised in that culture, so I’ve included it here with the adult themed Halloween parties.
Day of the Dead Party Tips:
- Create an altar like the one above to honor a loved one who has passed (you can encourage guests to bring a photo of their loved one as well to add it to the altar).
- Provide sweets that are in the form of skulls (this is a tradition that is practiced on this day). You can get some ideas from the website Dia de los Muertos where they have all of the traditional recipes you would need for this event.
- These Halloween party decorations for adults can include painted skulls, dolls, candles, marigold flowers and more.
Tarot Theme Party
A more uncommon Halloween party theme for adults is a tarot card party! This one may not be for everyone, because there are those of us that don’t want to mess with the unknown, however; it’s is an easy party theme to pull off!
- Decorate with tarot cards, crystals, and potion bottles (check out this one from Etsy – it’s really great)!
- Light the space with only candles
- Use these tarot card toppers for cupcakes, or embellishments for other items such as cheese on a charcuterie board!
- Hang this tarot card bunting for your adult theme Halloween party to set the mood!
Want to bring your party to the next level?? How about a tarot card reading for you and your friends right at home? Now there’s a top party planner idea for Halloween party themes for adults! You can set up your own reading for you and friends with an online reading through an Etsy listing here.
Wicked Wine Party
An uncommon Halloween Party theme would be a wine tasting party for adults. This party can be an inside or an outside Halloween party depending on where you live and what the weather is like! I’ve got you covered with the steps for how to hold a wine tasting at home, but here are some tips for making this wine party wicked!
- Decant your wine into black bottles and give them “potion lables”
- Use rustic, outdoor elements to set the table (witches never did have the reputation of being too fancy)
- Simple spider webs can help to accent your table.
- Provide the right music in the background, keeping it a bit creepy!
- Stick to red wine. For obvious reasons!
- Provide appetizers for guests to enjoy – and remember, you can rename anything to fit the party!
Horror Film Costume Party
Adults can’t dress up as their favorite scary costume when kids are around, but a Horror Film Costume party gives them the opportunity. A good old fashioned costume party may be where it’s at if you are looking for an easy adult themed Halloween party! Ask guests to dress as their favorite character, and be as scary as they like! Provide Halloween party decorations for adults, adult Halloween cocktails, scary Halloween music, and even adult Halloween party games and you’ve got the makings of a Halloween party for adults that will likely become a tradition!

Baughman F (2006) There Is No Such Thing as a Psychiatric Disorder/Disease/Chemical Imbalance. PLoS Med 3(7): e318. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030318
Published: July 25, 2006
excerpts:"At the 1998 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Conference on ADHD, Carey  stated: “The ADHD behaviors are assumed to be largely or entirely due to abnormal brain function. The DSM-IV does not say so but textbooks and journals do.... What is now most often described as ADHD...appears to be a set of normal behavioral variations.”
"In 2002, the Advertisement Commission of Holland  determined that the claim that ADHD is an inborn brain dysfunction was misleading and enjoined the Brain Foundation of the Netherlands to cease such representations.
"In 2003, Ireland prohibited GlaxoSmithKline from claiming that the antidepressant Paxil “works by bringing serotonin levels back to normal.” Wayne Goodman of the FDA acknowledged that claims that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors correct a serotonin imbalance go “too far,” but had the temerity to suggest that “this is reasonable shorthand for expressing a chemically or brain-based problem” (quoted in ).
"At an FDA hearing on March 23, 2006, I testified: “Saying any psychiatric diagnosis ‘is a brain-based problem and that the medications are normalizing function’ is an anti-scientific, pro-drug lie” read the entire letter

Published: November 8, 2005
"Although SSRIs are considered “antidepressants,” they are FDA-approved treatments for eight separate psychiatric diagnoses, ranging from social anxiety disorder to obsessive-compulsive disorder to premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Some consumer advertisements (such as the Zoloft and Paxil Web sites) promote the serotonin hypothesis, not just for depression, but also for some of these other diagnostic categories [22,23]. Thus, for the serotonin hypothesis to be correct as currently presented, serotonin regulation would need to be the cause (and remedy) of each of these disorders . This is improbable, and no one has yet proposed a cogent theory explaining how a singular putative neurochemical abnormality could result in so many wildly differing behavioral manifestations.
"In short, there exists no rigorous corroboration of the serotonin theory, and a significant body of contradictory evidence. Far from being a radical line of thought, doubts about the serotonin hypothesis are well acknowledged by many researchers, including frank statements from prominent psychiatrists, some of whom are even enthusiastic proponents of SSRI medications (see Table 1).
WHAT IS THE FDA's ROLE?
The FDA is a federal regulatory agency that approves drugs to be marketed, and has oversees the direct to consumer advertising of FDA approved drugs.
This agency approves drugs on flawed, phony and incomplete information, and does fine the companies whose drugs were approved fraudulently, nor remove the drugs from the market until they are tested for safety and efficacy. The FDA does not hold drugs manufacturers accountable for failing to provide accurate drug trial data, for failing to perform post-marketing clinical trials they are obligated to perform when drugs gain approval under the FDA's expedited approval program, the FDA does nothing when the drug companies market their products for conditions and populations that are not FDA approved. In fact for all of these crimes the FDA does virtually nothing---allowing dangerous drugs to continue being used both for FDA approved and unapproved uses.
In fact the only real value of the FDA "Warning Letters" to drug companies seem to have is that they can be used as evidence by individual states in lawsuits for false advertising. here. These lawsuits for false advertising and the ones individual states have filed for the "off-label" marketing of drugs are the only real consequences of any import the industry has faced.
The FDA has for the last several years has attempted to shield the pharmaceutical industry from lawsuits by claiming Federal Preemption; attempting to prevent people who are harmed by FDA approved drugs from being able to sue for damages in State Courts. here and here
In the year 2000 the Journal of the American medical Association reported that 106,000 deaths a year are caused by "non-error" adverse effects of prescription drugs; and acknowledges this is a conservative estimate of the actual number. This country has been waging a "War on Drugs" for decades---illicit, illegal drugs kill a small fraction of the number of people that FDA approved drugs do when used for FDA approved uses; yet there is no War to have the FDA, or the Drug industry held accountable for FDA approved drugs for the 100,000+ deaths a year caused by FDA approved drugs. Are we to assume the FDA does not think this loss of life is relevant; or that the FDA has no responsibility in regards to this unacceptable loss of life caused by the drugs the FDA has perhaps erroneously, approved?
Whose interests are being protected by the FDA? It sure isn't the interests of patients who have been disabled or killed by FDA-approved drugs. It isn't psychiatric patients at risk of being disabled or worse, by FDA approved drugs.

Zayn Malik shocked the world last week when he left One Direction to "be a normal boy" following a couple of tumultuous weeks of dealing with rumors he was cheating on his fiancee Perrie Edwards. But one person that wasn't surprised by his drastic decision was Morgan Spurlock, the director of the boys' documentary, This Is Us.
Morgan revealed in an interview with the Huffington Post that while filming This Is Us, he noticed that Zayn struggled with fame the most, sharing:
"He always struggled with being on the road. He's a homebody. He wanted nothing more than to sit in his house and spray paint and draw and do art, and I think this explosion that happened to him — which was something none of them ever predicted — but I think he was the one who struggled with it the most. And being away, being on the road, being away from his girlfriend I think finally just got to him, and I think he said, 'I'm done.'"
Wow. Kind of looks like Morgan might have had an inkling that Zayn wasn't happy on the road, in which case, a warning would have been nice.
More From Seventeen
In all seriousness, it breaks our hearts that Zayn struggled so much with being away from home, and we can understand why he needed a break from all the craziness. But still... We can't help hoping that he comes back to the band one day. *fingers crossed*
What do you think of Morgan Sherlock's thoughts on Zayn leaving 1D?
When I'm not holed up in my room going on a completely unproductive Netflix binge or Tumblr stalking Timothée Chalomet, I'm searching for awesome celeb news stories that Seventeen readers will love!
