3D printed faucet comes out
After 3D printing technology produced wash basins and bathtubs, 3D printing technology was once again used in the sanitary field. According to foreign media reports, on January 9th, at the Building Materials Exhibition (KBIS) held in Orlando, Florida, the luxury bathroom brand KALLISTA under Kohler and a 3D printing company jointly launched the world's first 3D printed faucet at the exhibition. It can be seen that the application of 3D printing technology in the sanitary field is faster than imagined.
3D printing faucet
It is understood that as the world's first 3D printed faucet, it uses 3D direct metal printing technology and uses high-quality stainless steel 316 powder material to ensure that the faucet will not rust or corrode. The appearance design is also very unique, the mesh format design shows a sense of fashion, and the hand feel is different from ordinary faucets. The unique cubic geometry of this faucet is not only beautiful, but also seamlessly paired with 3D printing nozzles, making the inside of the faucet open. The channel allows water to flow through the base.
Bill McKeone, manager of KALLISTA design studio, revealed that this kind of manufacturing gives his team complete freedom to design. "Designers usually need to think about a manufacturing process, and they must design around this process," McKeone said. "By choosing to produce this faucet through 3D printing, we have opened up our own limitless design possibilities. The breadth of 3D printing materials and technology allows us to freely create a unique and functional faucet that is impossible with the traditional manufacturing process."
In terms of cost, the current 3D printing technology manufacturing products in the bathroom industry is very expensive. Although the cost of the 3D printing faucet manufactured by the KALLISTA brand is not known, the cost of the wash basin manufactured by a German company using 3D printing technology was 1129 to 1599. Between the euro, it is equivalent to between 8,800 and 12,500 yuan. In terms of raw materials, the KALLISTA brand uses stainless steel 316 powder material, and German companies use sand, so the manufacturing cost of 3D faucets will be higher.
3D printed wash basin
At present, the symbolic meaning of 3D printing technology in the sanitary ware industry is more important than economic benefits. It opens a door for the future development of the sanitary ware industry, especially in the field of sanitary ware customization, greatly shortening production time. The parts and components needed for sanitary products can be produced quickly. A representative of KALLISTA revealed: "These parts were completed within a few hours."
The significance of 3D printing technology to the sanitary ware industry is not limited to shortening the delivery time, but changing the existing production system. At present, the main competitiveness of the sanitary ware industry is in addition to brand influence, as well as product quality competition. In the field of 3D printing, with the same raw materials and production equipment, the main factor affecting the competitiveness of enterprises in the future may be industrial designers. 3D printing technology gives industrial designers a broad space for development, and the competition of designers directly affects the competition of products in the market.
Although 3D printing technology is still in its infancy in the kitchen and bathroom industry, the future may bring unlimited possibilities for industrial designers in the kitchen and bathroom industry.

Gender boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred in the world of fashion, which is now re-centering its offer around unisex, genderless and co-ed items.
The bandana — a unisex accessory par excellence — is emerging as a hot trend for 2021, snapped up by fashion followers of all genders to lift their looks with a rock 'n' roll touch or country twist that makes all the difference.
In honour of Pride Month, the global search platform Stylight* has looked at the hottest must-have genderless fashion items of the moment. With no labels and no rules, various genderless accessories and cosmetics are currently on trend among fashion fans, with bandanas leading the way.
While bandana print was a pandemic trend, the accessory is now proving popular in its original form, worn as a scarf around the head or neck to create different looks. The bandana is becoming so popular that Stylight is reporting a +1,000% increase in clicks for the item in 2021. Other genderless trends on the rise include crochet bucket hats, with clicks up +600% this year.
Men's nail polish and sandals
The research also suggests that some fashion items previously aimed at or popular with women are now finding broader appeal. For example, men are now rocking sandals with style (+706% increase in clicks on men's sandals), not to mention the legendary Birkenstocks (+65% increase in clicks on the brand) and tote bags (+14%).
And the same goes for cosmetics, which are also moving into genderless territory. While unisex skincare is booming, the trend also now encompasses makeup. Nail polish, in dark or colourful shades, is on the up among men, as are nail stickers. In fact, Stylight reports a +41% increase on Google searches for "men's nail polish" in 2021.
*The report is based on Stylight internal data collected from the 120 million annual users on its global platforms. Clicks on the different products on Stylight and Google Analytics were analyzed using the time period January to April 2020 vs the same period in 2021. Google Trends was also used, analyzing data in 2020 vs 2021.

Report: Jabar Gaffney, Released By Redskins, Will Return To Patriots
Wide receiver Jabar Gaffney is returning to the New England Patriots, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston.
Gaffney was released yesterday by the Washington Redskins -- a surprising development considering he was the Skins' leading receiver in 2011 with 68 catches for 947 yards and five touchdowns. The 31-year-old wideout quickly signed with the Patriots, the team that revived his career in 2006.
Gaffney is a longtime favorite receiver of Pats quarterback Tom Brady.
"He's just one of those guys that, from the day we got him here, he was just so reliable and dependable because he knew what to do and he did it well," Brady said. "Jab could do everything well. I think that's his versatility, he's got good size, he's got long arms, he's got good speed, he's got good quickness, he plays every position, he's smart."

A little distressed
Who is influencing who?
By Dennis Adler
Today I got an email from Dan Wesson, not the ASG Dan Wesson, the CZ-USA Dan Wesson with news about a new 1911 DW model, the Wraith. The name caught my attention right away, not exactly the name you would pick for a handgun unless there was something ominous about it. Well there isn't, except that it has a unique distressed finish, black finished barrel and sights, and distinctive grips. Sound a little familiar? A little Sig Sauer WTP like?
Distressed finishes on centerfire guns are not that common, custom finishes yes, but not deliberately aged finishes unless you are looking at Western guns, which were the original distressed finish handguns, with 19th century-design black powder and cartridge-loading single actions being offered up by manufacturers with worn finishes to look like original old guns. Very cool stuff for Western gun enthusiasts and, as it has turned out in the last few years, for CO2 guns based on original centerfire pistols and long arms. But now, who is influencing who?
Back in 1997 when I was writing Colt Blackpowder Reproductions & Replicas, the new thing was weathered finish versions of Colt, Remington, and other Civil War era percussion revolvers. Some gunmakers called it their "Original finish" which was totally erroneous because in the 19th century an original finish would be a factory blued or polished nickel gun; nobody back then made new guns that looked old. But the idea took hold in the late 1990s and has held fast ever since. Airgun manufacturers picked up on the idea a few years ago and began limited edition models with aged, worn, or weathered finishes, some under the guise of WWII commemoratives, others as battlefield worn finishes, and these limited editions caught on.
Some come and go, like the Umarex Legends MP40 and Model 712 Broomhandle, the WWII commemorative Umarex Colt Commander, Desert Storm Beretta 92, while some others make a comeback like the WWII P.08 Luger, or just become production versions like the John Wayne 1911 A-1, some of the Duke Peacemaker models, and the recent Sig Sauer 1911 WTP.
Some of us have even taken up the art of defarbing and aging our CO2 models, like I did my Swiss Arms 1911 A-1 and Tokarev TT33, and these fairly worn looking guns become personal favorites. In the world of centerfire guns, manufacturers seem to be embracing this as well, as evidenced by the Sig Sauer WE THE PEOPLE (which extends beyond just the 1911 in the centerfire line) and now the new Dan Wesson Wraith. New is good, old is better? But only on the outside, you don't want a gun with a worn out action and eroded rifling. In reality, it takes years to wear the finish off a handgun if you carry it every day, and some finishes don't wear that much at all. Scratch, yes, but wear down with use, little if any. So when you start making new guns that are already worn looking, you have to ask "where is this coming from?" Why would you put good money down on a new gun that looks like it has been ridden hard and put away wet? The answer is that it looks interesting. But this is honestly a one-way street.
In the world of arms collecting, finish condition is everything, an old gun that has all or most of its original finish is worth many times what a worn and weathered gun is, unless that gun has some serious historical provenance.
Maybe that's implied when you look at a new gun with a weathered finish. And there are advantages to new guns that look old, or worn. You never have to be concerned about holster wear on the high edges, a scratch, well, that just adds to the character of the gun, and it looks like a gun you have had a long time and has become an old, trusted friend. But this is really just a gun thing.
If you went down to your favorite new car showroom and there was a 2020 model on the lot with a hood in primer, faded, cracked paint on the trunk lid, half a dozen door dings, and a nicked fender, you wouldn't say, "Hey, hey, that's the one I want!"
Like I said, it's a gun thing.

John Alechenu, Abuja
The Department of State Services has arrested a journalist-activist, Mr. Chido Onumah.
As reported by various media outlets and also shared on various social media sites, Mr. Onumah, a journalist and author, was arrested at the Abuja airport on Sunday evening.
It was reported that Onumah had just returned to Nigeria from Spain, where he had obtained a PhD in communication studies.
Onumah is the author of a book titled, 'We Are All Biafrans.'
Meanwhile, activists have condemned Onumah's arrest and detention.
National Coordinator of the Human Rights Writers Association, Emmanuel Onwubiko; and the Executive Director of the Civil Societies Legislative and Advocacy Centre, Awual Musa (Rafsanjani) in separate interviews with The PUNCH, condemned the arrest, describing it as "an affront on civil liberties."
Onwubiko said, "It is obvious to us now that this country is sliding into a state of tyranny."
Attempts to get an official reaction from the spokesperson of the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunnaya, were futile.
Calls to his mobile telephone number were neither picked nor returned.
A response to a text message sent to him was still being awaited as at the time of filing this report (7:12pm).

April 1st 2017 was the end of my life as I knew it, and the beginning of a new me. This was not God playing a April Fools joke on me!
It could have truly been the end of my life had I not called 911. I knew something was really wrong as I was having a second episode like I had on March 30th, which I, and the paramedics thought was a major anxiety/panic attach. This time I called 911 and said I might be having a heart attack. Very soon there were about 8 men and I think a woman in my apartment, from the fire department and EMT. They connected me to a machine (?EKG) and did a bunch of other things before putting me on a stretcher and taking me to the ER.
Once there I was connected to an IV and other machines, and a couple tests done. The doctor came in and told me I was in atrial fibrillation, he was going to call a cardiologist and see what he wanted done. The decision was made to get me to the Telemetry unit at the other campus of this hospital (St. Francis Bons Secour) where they have all the updated and appropriate machines for cardiac issues. Once there I was given meds and connected to more machines. A cardiologist came in to see me. He said I would most likely have to have a pacemaker, and yes be on special drugs the rest of my life!! It still hurts to say those words. The first 3 days all kinds of tests were done and apparently I was going in and out of afib. Another cardiologist saw me the next day also mentioning a pacemaker. On day 3 he confirmed I would have to have one! Totally shocking to suddenly hear I would have to have a mechanical device inserted into my body and be on special drugs the rest of my life. I told him right up front that I hate drugs and seriously dislike drug companies. My life, as I knew it, ended. Yet I was and am still alive. Trying to process this is still part of the beginning of this new journey.

Family and land in the West of Ireland
Curtin, Christopher A.
April 1978
Thesis or dissertation

- Abstract
[From the introduction]:
This thesis is about families and land in the West of Ireland. More precisely, treating land as a basic resource, it examines the social relationships which spring up around it; how land is acquired, utilized, valued, competed for, hoarded, bought and sold are central issues in the thesis. These issues are explored against the background of a small rural community in South Mayo. The thesis is an ethnographic statement, a picture of people in action at one point in time. It is not a 'community study', but it uses a community as a setting or location for the exploration of problems of wider relevance. While the concepts used are drawn largely from sociology and social anthropology, the thesis straddles several academic fences into the domains of the economist, the social historian and the geographer.

Q: Any idea on how long shipping is for a new subscription? I ordered on 12/23 and it's now 1/7 and no shipping update or response to my email to the seller. Thanks! Asked by Trisha A., January 2021
I'd give them at least another 2 weeks before reaching out again!
Q: How many ounces is each bag in the box? Asked by Brandy E., April 2022
For the candy popcorn its 3oz and for the savory popcorn is 1oz
Q: Does anyone know if the popcorn is gluten free?Asked by Abby S., May 2021
Hi our popcorn does not say it's gluten-free.
Q: How much comes in a box? It doesn't specify the size, that I can find. Asked by Jacqueline F., November 2019
So you get 3 bags filled with 3 ounces of popcorn.
It is always such a joy to get my box of popcorn in for the month! My parents and I have movie nights when I come to visit them, and this subscription for my dad has been such a fun part of that. Thanks y'all!
Not what I expected. Small amounts of popcorn. It feels like a rip off and the subscription wants to renew its self but i am unable to unsubscribe. The flavors are quite ridiculous and not great.
Popcorn was stale. Flavors not exciting.
Good variety. Just not for me. Really poor shipping
I've been receiving the Kernel Crate for several months now. Each month we seem to get a sweet variety and two savory varieties, often including an "eclectic" variety. I always love the sweet variety (and by the way it is never too sweet, never as sweet as a caramel corn which would be fine with me--ha). The eclectic variety is usually tasty; I think my first box had a cucumber flavor--different, but tasty. My only complaint is that often one of the savory flavors is very spicy--sometimes so spicy that I don't care for it. I like spice sometimes, but I always prefer spice and flavor to "heat"--hot spice for the point of being hot. I'll continue to subscribe indefinitely as long as the savory flavors keep the heat down.
I am not ever going to hate popcorn, but I would have preferred more of a variety. The flavors were all odd, which I don't mind, but when sharing them with the family there wasn't one they were interested in trying. Plus all three options were green so it wasn't visually exciting. I mean, popcorn is popcorn, but I was expecting more I suppose.
popcorn was fresh and very flavorful
Good coffee.
Excellent product, very tasty, well packaged and delivered promptly.

MCX October gold opened at Rs 53,450 per 10 gm as compared to Tuesday's closing of Rs 53,571 per 10 gm. At around 12.30 pm, it fell to Rs 53,167 per 10 gm. MCX September silver opened at Rs 68,783 per kg compared to Tuesday's closing of Rs 69,505 per kg, and fell further to Rs 68,090 in afternoon trade.
In the spot market, gold was trading at Rs 53,424 per 10 gm as compared to Rs 53,815 per 10 gm on Wednesday, bringing some cheer to the jewellery trade ahead of the Onam festival when sales usually surge in southern India. Silver was trading at Rs 67,135 per kg, down by Rs 2,863 per kg compared to Tuesday's spot price.
Anuj Gupta, deputy vice president (commodities and currencies research) at Angel Broking said "Today we are seeing profit booking in gold and silver on the back of global equity market trading at a six month high and the expectation of ease off trade tension between US and China. However, weakness in US bond yield and depreciation in dollar index may be supportive for the bullion."
In global markets, gold prices held above the key level of $2,000 per ounce, supported by a softer US dollar. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $2,002.12 per ounce and silver rose by 0.6% to $27.82 per ounce.
The dollar index fell for a sixth straight session to near a more than two-year low. A weaker US dollar makes gold less expensive for holders of other currencies.
Sriram Iyer, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities said: "Investors' mood and sentiment were slightly lifted at the possibility of the US Congress finally reaching a consensus over the latest stimulus measures, with Republicans hoping to reach an agreement with Democrats for their proposed $500 billion package."
"Technically, both gold and silver are trading on negative note from last session where prices can see some sideways to marginal downside momentum in the coming session," Iyer said.
However, Hareesh V, head of commodity research at Geojit Finance said there was demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. "A weak US currency and expectations of more economic easing measures amid slow global growth continue to lift the safe haven demand of gold. However, an intermittent profit booking cannot be ruled out on signs of easing US-China trade tensions and optimism about the coronavirus vaccine," he said.

Until recently, Ireland had a constitutional amendment that protected the life of the fetus. When the amendment was repealed by a special ballot, the anti-life crowd cheered.
Before the vote, the 8th amendment stated:
The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.
That effectively banned abortion except when the woman's life is at risk. The exceptions that were not included were the cases of rape, incest, or fetal abnormality.
The vote was held on Friday and was a huge win for the Prime Minister of Ireland.
Ireland's landslide vote to repeal its abortion ban was an extraordinary political success for Ireland's young prime minister, Leo Varadkar, who staked his political reputation and possibly his job on a conviction that his fast-changing country would support change.
The scale of the victory means legislation outlined by Varadkar before the vote is likely to pass through parliament relatively unhindered.
The health minister, Simon Harris, said he would start the process on Tuesday, when the Irish cabinet will meet to discuss draft legislation to allow terminations within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and up to 24 weeks in exceptional circumstances.
The 8th amendment providing the equal right to life for both the woman and the unborn will be replaced.
But, according to the Irish Prime Minister, it means that Ireland is actually better for the decision to allow abortion as a form of retroactive birth control.
Mr Varadkar said he understood that those who had voted against repeal would be unhappy.
He said he had a message for them: "I know today is not welcome and you may feel this country has taken the wrong turn, that this country is one you no longer recognise.
"I want to reassure you that Ireland today is the same as it was last week, but more tolerant, open and respectful."

Did Ireland Make The Right Decision To Repeal The 8th?
Watch Irish Pro-Life advocate, John McGuirk, explain why abortion on demand is bad for society:
One of the most powerful statements on abortion you've ever heard
This is one of the most powerful statements on abortion you've ever heard: John McGuirk explains what abortion does to a society–and why Ireland should vote against it. Share far and wide so others can see this, too.
Posted by Jonathon Van Maren on Tuesday, May 22, 2018
McGuirk had posted this message on Facebook before the vote:
For me, tomorrow's vote is not, as some may tell you, a "complicated" issue, or a "deeply personal" one. Yes, there are reasonable disagreements to be had about when life begins. Yes, there are very good people who believe that pro-life principles shouldn't mean making a raped woman give birth, and yes there are people who believe that the parents of a child who is unlikely to survive should have what they believe is a compassionate option. I understand all that.
But we're being asked to make legal, in this country, the lethal injection and dismemberment of a perfectly healthy human baby at 24 weeks gestation. You can say it will happen rarely, you can say it will happen only in X circumstance, you can say any of those things, and they won't change the fact that we are about to make it legal. It doesn't matter if it only happens once – if it happens, it will be because we said it should be allowed. And I, for one, cannot say that, and never could. It is not complicated, or deeply personal, it's just what it is, simple, and stark, and brutal.
Our laws say something about who we are as a country. If, like me, you think what is being proposed in this referendum is contrary to what you want to see in Ireland, then please, vote no, and do so firmly. It's not only your right, it's your responsibility.
Working with the Savethe8th team for the past few weeks has been the honour of a lifetime. They are incredible and passionate, and kind, and honourable people. Win or lose tomorrow, I am so proud to know them all, and call them, I hope, friends for life. I'm also so grateful to Orla, who has put up with so much, and more, these past 8 weeks. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive, and whatever the outcome tomorrow, I hope there is no triumphalism on either side. There are no victories in this debate.
Unfortunately for Ireland, McGuirk is absolutely right.

Rules For Radical Christians is not a survival devotional designed to help the young Christian adult limp through life. Rather, it is a road-tested, dominion blueprint that will equip the young adult with leadership skills and sufficient motivation to rise to a place of influence in an overtly non-Christian culture. Rules For Radical Christians gives the reader the keys to become strategically equipped to move into an anti-theistic environment and effectively influence it for the glory of God.

There's one thing that increasingly unites men and women these days. We can both agree that Liberals are losing their ever-loving minds. Now there's a shirt that says just that.
Conveniently available in Both Ladies…
AND Men's versions.
Either Liberals just don't get it, or they are sick in the head. Probably both. Think about it: They want to have all of the blessings that come with living in a capitalist society such as modern medicine and technology. But they believe in socialism, which stifles innovation and progress.
They want to be protected by the police and the military, but they attack and criticize the men and women who protect us. They call conservatives "racists," but it's their own identity politics that have created race problems in the first place. After all, Democrats were the party of slavery!
They attack hunters, but have no problem wearing leather shoes or owning cars with leather upholstery! And of course, they believe guns kill people. Not the people that pull the trigger.
Well, here's a shirt that sums it perfectly. Liberalism is a… MENTAL DISORDER.
And the best part? This shirt is made in the USA, printed in the USA, on an American-Made t-shirt press!

Under the theme: "Mentoring the Next Generation," 16 female officers of the Guyana Police Force / Guyana Association of Women Police (GAWP), led by Deputy Commissioner Maxine Graham, DSM, and Superintendent Grace Davis, received mentoring, and training in peer support, during the 57th International Association of Women Police (IAWP) Annual Training Conference held in Anchorage, Alaska.
The female officers, during the Sept. 23-27 Conference also benefited from training in areas such as Leadership, the Origins of Sexual Violence, Gender Equality in Law Enforcement and Human Trafficking among others at the forum where more than 800 delegates from 43 countries were in attendance.
The IAWP, during its annual outreach programs, encourages female officers and other ranks to attend and benefit from this training, which will enhance their capacity and help them to perform more efficiently and effectively, something of which has been successful over the years, and which the Guyanese officers will deeply benefit from, after they return to Guyana.
The Guyanese officers arrived at the Den'ina Civic and Convention Center on Friday, Sept. 20 where the conference was hosted for the third time.
The opening ceremony was held on Monday, Sept. 23, 2019, at the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center, followed by the parade of the nations through the downtown area of Alaska with the Guyanese officers proudly carrying a large Golden Arrowhead Guyana flag.
According to the IAWP website, the organization was founded in 1915 to strengthen, unite and raise the capacity of women in policing internationally.
The IAWP has members in more than 60 countries and supports the unique role women play in law enforcement.

Importance of Activities in a Skilled Nursing Facility
Theresa Kalka
Activities Director
Southern Hills Nursing & Rehab Center
Most people do not realize the importance of activities in nursing homes. The purpose of the activities staff is to improve the quality of life for these residents. It helps a resident realize that they are not alone, and that there are others in the same situation. Activities benefit the residents psychologically, socially, spiritually, and physically.
The psychological health of the residents impacts their lives in such a big way. If they are feeling emotionally ill, then that can wear on their physical health. Participation in activities will help improve their mental well-being and can eliminate depression. Being with a group of people can forge friendships and support systems. There are many residents that do not have an active family support system, which can lead to loneliness and depression. Building friendships can give them the community support that they need to deal with their failing health and life situation, which improves their psychological and social health. An active social life helps improve a resident's mental health. Activities give structure to the day for residents, which give them a sense of safety, helps with passing the time, and give a purpose to their life. There is a certain level of safety in knowing what exactly to expect from the entirety of the day. Residents could spend their entire day staring at a clock, but being busy with something helps make the day fly by. Activities can utilize interests from their previous professions, which helps make the transition from home to a long term nursing facility easier. A resident that used to be a woodworker can still be given woodworking activities or even could lead a wood working class. It is important to remind the residents of their passions and hobbies that they enjoyed previously. This allows them to have fun and even discover new talents and hobbies.
Variety of Activities
There are a variety of activities that can improve your physical health. It can be as easy as throwing a ball, bopping a balloon around, golfing, bowling, ring toss, corn hole, or chair yoga. Also, in order to attend the activity, the resident can self-propel themselves to the activity room. This helps the resident stay independent as well as getting exercise. These activities help you work on eye and hand coordination, arm strength, upper extremity range of motion, and core strength. Overall, it will help strengthen basic muscles needed for your activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, and bathing. With chair yoga, the resident is not only improving their physical health, but also their mental health. Chair yoga has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety. Chair yoga can increase body strength, improve body control, reduce strain on joints and muscles, and reduce blood pressure. By increasing body strength, it will help strengthen muscles needed for daily life. Improvement of body control will make it easier to prevent falls and improve body coordination. By reducing strain on muscles and joints, it will keep them strengthened, which in the long run will help with balance and keeping an independent life. And, reducing blood pressure will lower the chances of other chronic diseases.
Spiritual Aspect
The psychological, social, and physical health of residents is important, but many forget about the spiritual aspect. It helps residents to continue on religious traditions that have been a part of their entire life. This gives them comfort and solace as they are nearing the end of their days. These religious traditions can bring them memories of childhood or just give them a sense of community in worshiping and praying together. Religion is a reminder of there being more than just the pain and suffering that they are dealing with in this life. It gives hope in a future of happiness and peace. These religious activities give the residents a chance to connect with each other and God. Overall, there is a substantial amount of evidence showing the benefits of activities for the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being of the residents. Hobbies and extracurricular activities can improve quality of life in and outside nursing home facilities!

On, September 11th 2016, a deck ledger failed and a pair of third floor decks collapsed at a party near Trinity College in Connecticut. Approximately 30 people were injured.
The third floor deck fell onto the second floor deck, which then collapsed onto the first floor deck. Both decks had people on them, as well as the top deck.
Nobody was hurt bad enough that they couldn't get up and walk around, but there was a head injury and a broken arm. Considering those on the first floor had two decks worth of people fall on their head, they're lucky.
This isn't an isolated incident. On August 26th, 2016, another deck at another college party collapsed. This time in Brookhaven, New York.
While college parties are known for being erratic, collapsing decks seems a bit too far.
According to Arthur Gerhauser, chief building inspector of the Town of Brookhaven, the failure of the deck was "at the ledger board, the connection of that ledger board to the house."
While these decks may have been old and may have been built to outdated codes, it's important to know how to attach a deck ledger to rim board according to current codes. You wouldn't want one of your buildings to be in the news for having a deck that collapsed on a college student.
You'll need…
MiTek has a series of wood screws, the USP WS series, that you can use to fasten deck ledgers to the rim board (band / rim joist) to ensure you're meeting the residential building code's connection requirements. The 2015 IRC suggests, in Table R507.2, to use lag screws, however the WS-HDG screws may replace them when installed as directed here.
Common lengths for deck ledger application are WS35-HDG at 3.5 inches and WS5-HDG at 5 inches. Make sure to purchase WS screws with "-HDG" suffix, as they have a hot dipped galvanized coating suitable for exterior use.
Deck Ledger Installation:
- As previously stated, the screw lengths you'll likely need are WS35-HDG (3.5 inches) and/or WS5-HDG (5 inches).
- When selecting screw length, compare the threads. They should have full engagement with the rim board. The tip of the screw should visibly protrude beyond the inside face of the rim board member.
- Once you've selected the proper screw length, drive the screw through the ledger, sheathing, and rim board joist. Use a high torque variable speed drill.
- When driving the screw, the head should be firm and flush with the surface of the deck ledger. Be sure not to overdrive.
- Table 1 and Figure 1 below will show you the edge, end distances, and spacing that you'll need. Repeat the above steps for each necessary screw.
The structural wood screws you're looking for can be found here.
MiTek Builder Products, USP Connectors, and Hardy Frame are corporate members of the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD). To find a representative near you, contact Lori Zito at email@example.com.

Sorry we're late, but a happy belated Amazon OKC1 Fulfillment Center Day to you and yours. In case you missed it, Gov. Kevin Stitt proclaimed Aug. 25 as a day celebrating the official launch of Amazon's first Oklahoma fulfillment center. According to a press release faithfully regurgitated by too many local media outlets to name here, fulfillment center general manager Hamon Gupta said the warehouse will create "more than 1,500 new full-time jobs with comprehensive health care benefits that start on the first day of employment."
Fortune 500 lists Amazon.com as the fifth largest corporation in the U.S., generating $232.8 billion in revenue and employing 647,500 people. National Council for Occupational Safety and Health lists Amazon among its Dirty Dozen "companies that put workers and communities at risk due to unsafe practices," citing six worker deaths in seven months in addition to "a high incidence of suicide attempts; workers urinating in bottles and workers left without resources or income after on-the-job injuries."
Vickie Shannon Allen, for example, told The Guardian that she injured her back while counting goods at the Amazon fulfillment center in Haslet, Texas, in 2017.
"I tried to work again, but I couldn't stretch my right arm out and I'm right-handed," Allen said. "So I was having a hard time keeping up. This went on for about three weeks."
During that time, Allen said she was driving 60 miles to work every day only to be sent home without pay. She eventually returned to work, only to be injured again at the same workstation. When she was evicted from her home, she began chronicling her experiences living in her car outside the fulfillment center on YouTube.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, meanwhile, owns multiple homes, including three luxurious New York City apartments purchased for more than $80 million in what The Wall Street Journal called one of NYC's most expensive real-estate transactions in 2019. In 2017, he purchased the largest house in Washington, D.C., for $23 million, according to The Washington Post. If you — unlike Oklahoma City Council, which voted to approve $1.7 million in incentives to Amazon in May of 2018 — forgot to give Bezos anything for Amazon OKC1 Fulfillment Center Day, we're pretty sure we know what he wants: everything you or anyone else has or will ever have, forever.

We talk all the time about wanting men to pursue us, but nobody wants to be stalked. What does it mean to pursue and be pursued? Why should men pursue? How would you prefer that a man pursue you? How would you respond to pursuing behavior?
Today's topic was inspired by Katie's post about encouraging men and one post in a series by David at Restless Pilgrim. In some way, I guess it's also inspired by the wildly popular Christian books Wild at Heart and Captivating. I read them both, and I didn't like them. Overall, I thought they each suffered from the full theology of love taught by St. John Paul II. It's not supposed to be split into TOB for men and TOB for women. It's "one flesh" theology.
Despite my distaste for those books, I agree that Katie and David both have valid points. Men have been encouraged, inside and outside of the Church, to back down. Women can do things for themselves, but men are supposed to be chasing adventure and slaying dragons, and so on. So everyone has been sold on the idea of men pursuing women. For better or for worse, I am among them.
The problem is that no one has any idea what "pursuing" supposed to look like. I am not opposed to flirting, and sometimes the situation calls for leaning in a little heavy. (I have this dream of actually saying, "If you ask me out, I'll say yes," but I haven't gotten to that point with anyone in a while. Any male readers want to weigh in on whether that sounds awesome or scary?)
So the men in our lives do try to pursue, despite not knowing what they're doing. David tells the story of inviting a young woman he knew as friends to spend time with him in progressively smaller groups. She said no every time. He concluded that she wasn't romantically interested in him, and he moved on. But it turned out that she was interested, and her reason for rebuffing his invitations was that he was "meant to pursue" her.
Call me crazy, but that sounds like some pretty solid pursuit: clear, persistent, based in friendship, admittedly not using the D-word (date) but pretty darn close. (Some of those "smaller groups" would have been just the two of them.) It seems to me like she should have said yes at some point.
"I'm busy" in response to an invitation is ambivalent. It could be either an honest explanation or a gentle let-down, and there's no way for a well-meaning man to know which is which. Personally, I keep getting booked 3 weeks in advance. (It's hard being popular.) David offers a helpful alternative to "just say no." If you're genuinely interested but also genuinely unavailable, be clear and extra-positive about inviting him to ask again. Drop a handkerchief. Be visibly sad about being busy and obviously happy about being asked at all. (This is harder to do over the phone: another reason for in-person asks.) Reschedule immediately, if possible.
Note that "I'm busy, but maybe some other time" when you really want there to be another time is probably not clear enough. That could be a brush-off, too. I've accidentally sent someone away by saying that. (I wanted him to call again. He never did.) Not everyone is as calendar-oriented as I am, but when I have really wanted to go and couldn't make the initial invitation, I have literally pulled out my phone to check my availability. That's not pursuing; that's responding.
My takeaway is that, although I prefer to be asked on dates rather than asking men myself, I intentionally make my "yes" mean yes and my "no" mean no. If he has the courage to ask, I will do everything I can to reward that effort with grace and charity, with encouragement when I'm interested and compassion when I'm not.

How worried are we really about energy security?
Last month we saw data on whether climate change or energy security is seen as more pressing.
The results were interesting. They suggested that people were more willing to reduce their energy consumption to help the environment than to protect the UK's energy security; yet it also seemed that people wanted the government to prioritise protecting the energy supply over providing more environmentally friendly electricity.
It's since been pointed out to me that the wording of the 'personal responsibility' question may have had a misleading influence. The option for energy security was phrased as 'To conserve energy now to make sure the UK has enough in future'.
As was suggested to me, an interviewee might take issue with the implication that there are transferable units of electricity that can be used immediately or saved for later. Of course not using a unit of electricity today doesn't mean that the unit will continue to be available tomorrow.
So perhaps my conclusion, that individuals see themselves as having a greater role in tackling climate change than they do in tackling energy security, was overstated.
And in fact another poll suggests exactly that.
ComRes research for IBM finds that 79% agree that "Every individual has a responsibility to monitor their own energy usage to avoid wasting the country's energy supply". Though there's no direct comparison with how far people see an individual responsibility to avert climate change, you don't get much higher than 4 in 5 people agreeing that individual action is needed.
That said, the ComRes poll also suggests that energy security isn't a pressing issue for most. Although most say it's everyone's responsibility to act, only 32% think that there will be power cuts in the UK because of energy shortages in the next 5-10 years. Perhaps this is because they think a solution will be found, or perhaps it's because they don't think there's all that much of a problem to begin with.
So it seems that people aren't averse to seeing it as individual (ie not just government or energy company) responsibility to help with energy consumption. But at the same time, there isn't a widespread view that we're facing an energy disaster that requires urgent action.

Suggestions, please? [semi-JAG]
Morning all. Here's the thing: The Monroe Transfer, a group what I play in, were on track to release a new 12-minute piece of music, 'Joy', as our side of a split 10" single at the end of this year. However, various problems have meant that the label isn't really going anymore; so, with a recorded and mastered thing sitting around, we thought we'd get it out to some blogs, podcasts, internet radio etc and try to generate some interest before a physical release of another long song early next year.
So- can anyone think of podcasts, bloggers, or even mainstream radio that might be interested in a 12-minute piece of string-heavy instrumental music? Or maybe you have one of these things yourself? It's a bit niche, obviously.

The Dobsonfly is the adult stage of a large member of the Order Megaloptera. They have a fearsome appearance, being up to 5 inches in length from the tip of their wings to the tip of their mandibles, possess 2 pairs of wings, 1 pair of segmented antennae, and the aforementioned mandibles. The males especially are a horror to behold, their long pincer-like mandibles over an inch in length. These seeming tools of destruction are too weak to inflict damage to humans and are instead used to impress female Dobsonflies, then are used to hold the female during mating. The jaws of the females are far less impressive, though much more dangerous. They are capable of inflicting a painful pinch, drawing blood from unprotected skin.
The adults are nocturnal, seldom being seen during daylight hours. They are however attracted to bright lights during the night. The light draws them and they can provide a bit of a scare with their threatening appearance.
The form or phase of Dobsonfly which is perhaps more familiar is their larval stage, commonly known as hellgramites. These insects are aquatic, and head for water as soon as they hatch. Once there they are predators, happily snacking on the nymphs of other aquatic insects as well as small minnows, tadpoles, and whatever protein their environment provides, including their own brethren. They hide under stones or submerged vegetation and logs which provide cover as well as helping preserve moisture during dry periods. These larvae are also prey to others, especially fish. Anglers use hellgrammites for bait, secure in the knowledge that Mr. Bass finds them irresistible.
The larvae grow for 1-3 years, undergoing up to 11 instars before arriving at the pupal stage. They possess 3 pairs of true legs and several pairs of filaments, or false appendages. Their bodies are segmented, containing 10 abdomenal segments and 5 segments to their tarsi. The eyes are large. The mouth parts are strong, as one would expect in a carnivore. They feast on the soft inner parts of prey.
There is coordination of adult emergence which helps provide mating success. The adults emerge to quickly mate, lay eggs to continue the species, then die. The adult phase lasts only a few days and they either eat rarely or not at all. Females lay their eggs, (up to 1,000 of them), often on a leaf or rock suspended over water, which the larvae drop into upon hatching.
The wings of Dobsonflies are folded lengthwise along the body when not in flight. Their cousins the dragonflies cannot fold their wings, but make up for that peculiarity by being masterful fliers.
The Dobsonfly can be found in Asia and North America.
