Do you have customers in the airline or space industry? Perhaps you would like to increase your customer base to include aerospace customers. A trusted aerospace machine shop can give you the chance to increase profits, expand your business, and offer new and exciting products. However, it is important to choose a qualified company and here are some tips for making sure you go with the right shop.
To serve many customers in the aerospace business, you need to conform to AS9100 standards. AS9100 is taken from the high standards set by an ISO 9001 certification. An ISO 9001 company must have a quality control system which places the main focus on customer satisfaction. Everyone in a certified company is responsible for maintaining quality standards. This certification needs renewed every 3 years.
With some companies, most of the quality control responsibility rests on inspectors or quality control personnel. However, with an ISO 9001 certification, everyone is involved in quality. People handling raw materials, machining parts, inspecting, preparing, stocking, loading, and everyone in the logistics system is responsible for maintaining quality. When you choose an AS9100 certified aerospace machine shop, you can depend on the highest quality work.
It takes years of experience to establish a machine shop reputation. When you choose a company with at least 30 years of experience, you can depend on them for quality work and on-time deliveries. This is an important consideration when you look for an aerospace machine shop.
Do you want to increase your services? Outsourcing your work is a good way to increase efficiency and give customers the best prices on your products and services. Make sure to choose a shop with the capacities to handle your needs for today and the future. Your business reputation and the shop you choose are intertwined.

British company AMC joins Deep Space Industries and Planetary Resources in their attempt to create an asteroid mining economy. The first launch is scheduled for 2020.
Ceres is suspected to contain water-ice on the surface that was separated from it’s heavier inner core a long time ago, along with other lighter elements. Offering a potential reservoir of life supporting resources and fuel for hydrolysis. Most recently there’s been talk of the dwarf planet having more organic material than previously thought.
Europa and Enceladus are two natural satellites of particular interest among the space community due to their sub-glacial oceans and entrenched hydrothermal vents which can possibly support life with the necessary heat for proliferation. We’ve found microbiological organisms flourishing amongst hydro thermal vents here on Earth so why not Europa or Enceladus?
The Asteroid Mining Corporation will start by targeting asteroids between the orbits of Venus and Mars with a similiar trajectory to Earth. Scientists believe there are thousands of these near earth objects. some of them are easier to get to then the moon making that a reasonable first step in establishing economic-industrial operations in outer space.
Their company plans to use as many materials as they can find. Those most evident based on infrared spectrography include Platinum group and Ferrous metals, Rare Earth minerals as well as Carbon and volatile compounds such as water.
AMC wants to secure 2.3 million in crowdfunding for their first objective. Launching “APS-1” a 6U spectroscope based space telescope in to orbit. The first of it’s kind in the UK and a proper demonstration of the technology that will purportedly scale up for later stages of the mission. It’s main purpose is to gather spectragraphic data on target asteroids that could potentially be commercialized. They want to launch the APS-1 space telescope in 2020.
Their next objective is to figure out what differences in material/structural properties arise when metals are refined in the vacuum and micro-gravity conditions of outer space. It is true that the International Space Station has accomplished 3D printing under stable conditions. However they have not printed objects in a vacuum, nor have they printed anything made of metal.
– What type of asteroid it is.
Once the material is extracted they plan to process the elements possibly through smelting, which means they will need some type of furnace depot in orbit. They’ve also mentioned that ferrous (iron based magnetic, recyclable) metals will be kept in space for constructing further infrastructure. Perhaps they could make use of this material to create magnetic gears?
Once the other materials are processed they will be sent back to Earth for commercial activity. The extremely generous projections made by various figures in media are probably inaccurate as far as the long term profitability of asteroid mining is concerned. It is not likely for example that “asteroid mining will make every person on Earth a billionaire” because the price of a natural resource deflate in proportion to its availability… It just takes a while.
So with that being said it is much more likely that the first few companies on the scene will make the most money, and then as more of these “precious metals” make it down to Earth they will decrease in value by virtue of their abundance. So you can expect he Asteroid economy to eventually level off to ordinary sustainable profit, akin to present day mining.
The biggest promise is the erection of a permanent infrastructure for industry and commerce in outer space, which will help to kick off space colonization in particular – allowing humanity to inhabit other worlds potentially via the first 3D printed bases made from asteroid minerals.

The shield on the coat of arms is a heraldic representation of the area. Across the gold field runs a blue and white wave representing the River Mole, with the Dorking urban and rural areas on one side and the Leatherhead area on the other.
The acorns are taken from the arms of the three former authorities and that of Surrey County Council.
Behind the Dorking acorns are two stylised hills representing Box Hill and Leith Hill, two notable geographical features of the district, with a blue sky above. The hill figuration also suggests the letter 'M' with a 'V' in the middle.
Above the shield is the closed helm proper to civic arms with the decorative mantling of the basic colours of gold and blue, the traditional Surrey livery taken from the chequers of the Warennes, first Earls of Surrey.
Surmounting the wreath is a mural or walled crown, a familiar symbol of local government, coloured white as in the former Dorking arms and a direct reference to the prevalence of Dorking Lime in many local buildings.
The crest features a swan, prominent in the former Leatherhead arms, which alludes to the old Swan Inn of coaching days and to the river and other local waters. The swan holds in its beak a red sword, referring to the association with the City of London through the City of London Freemen's School and to the connection between the former arms and the 1939-45 war. The Leatherhead arms was the first in heraldry to commemorate the unify of purpose of the Civil Defence Services.
Flanking the swan are two branches of oak leaves linking with the oak in the shield and are a direct reference to the former Leatherhead crest and the County shield.
The supporters are two cockerels of the distinctive five-toed Dorking breed, taken from the Dorking crest and characteristic of the surrounding rural area. Each one holds in its beak a pinecone from the former Dorking Rural District crest; the cones referring to the Weald/Leith Hill wooded area of the district.
The motto, 'Ministrando Vigilans' ('Vigilant in our serving') which gives the initials MV, is a derivation of those of the former Dorking & Leatherhead Councils: 'Virtute et Vigilantia' ('By Courage and Vigilance') and 'Service links all'.
Dorking is twinned with two towns: Gouvieux in France and Güglingen in Germany.
The twinning between Gouvieux and Dorking & District has now been in existence for more than 10 years, while the area has been twinned with Güglingen since 2007.
Leatherhead is twinned with Triel-sur-Seine, France since 2004. More information can be found on www.friendsoftriel.com.

Before Baby Lo was born earlier this month, we weren't sure if Chris Lopez would be a huge part of his life ... until he showed up at the hospital to be there for Kailyn Lowry when she gave birth. Unfortunately, though, it seems like there's a chance everything has changed. Reportedly, Chris has bailed on Kail and Baby Lo. What?!
According to what a friend of the Teen Mom 2 mama told Hollywood Life, Chris isn't there for the baby like Kailyn thought he'd be after he showed up to the hospital to be there when the baby was born ... and it's really not looking good for the future.
"Kail's relationship with Chris has been like a rollercoaster -- full of ups and downs and unexpected turns. After he showed up for the delivery and drove them home from the hospital, Kailyn thought there was going to be a good chance he would actually be in his son's life. He even made the effort to visit a few times, with gifts for the baby. But just as Kailyn started believing that Chris may actually be committed to being a dad, he bails."
Oh no! That sounds like a miserable thing to deal with when you're juggling life with a newborn (and two kids!) as a single mom.
We're not convinced this story is true, though. Just recently, Chris was on Twitter, talking about how much he loves hanging out with his son, so if he's not lying, we'd take that to mean that he has no plans of bailing -- and hasn't so far.
"It's one thing if he dips in and out of her life, but it's not OK to do that to a child. Right now, she's one step away from cutting Chris out of her life completely, as she can't help but think having no father is better than having one who constantly upsets, hurts, and bails on his child."
We hope everything works out for these two ... for Baby Lo's sake, anyway.

The Bloomington Food Policy Council, established in 2011, exists to increase and preserve access to sustainably produced, locally grown, healthful food for all residents in Monroe and surrounding counties. We are a group of community members committed to building food security by assessing the current food system and advocating policy changes that assure everyone access to affordable and nutritious food, with an emphasis on food produced sustainably by local farmers and gardeners.
BFPC Chair, Ryan Conway, will join the DFMC on Thursday April 13th to discuss the importance of including Food Systems in the City and County’s comprehensive and everyday planning activities. The inclusion of Food Systems in the forthcoming City of Bloomington Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) was mandated by the Imagine Bloomington Steering Committee, tasked by the City of Bloomington to develop core standards for priority needs for the City’s next master plan. However, the original draft of the CMP contained only a few, superficial references to this critical element Bloomington’s social, economic, and environmental systems. Attendees will be invited to contribute general and specific feedback on goals, policies, and programs that the BFPC should include in its recommendations to the City and County regarding a Food Systems chapter in the CMP. The BFPC is recruiting additional board members, to more thoroughly address this crucial policy work, and will entertain self-nominations on a rolling basis, submitted to bfpc@bloomingtonfpc.org. Come learn about and discuss the fight for food security, food justice, and food sovereignty in Bloomington and Monroe County!

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado recently announced that the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean region had reached its annual minimum, which is the lowest extent after melting all summer before the ice begins thickening and rebuilding for fall and winter. This year the amount of ice at the end of the summer was the third lowest on record—1.84 square miles (4.76 million square kilometers).
About a week later, the center updated its report to say that the ice had continued to melt (after appearing to begin its winter recovery). In total, scientists estimate there remained 1.78 million square miles of ice following the 2010 summer.
The remaining ice in the Arctic is younger and therefore thinner than the ice generally is at this time, according to a more in-depth analysis from NSIDC. In short, in addition to decreasing in area, the ice is also diminishing in volume. Older ice tends to be thicker than younger, one- or two-year-old ice.
This is significant because thinner ice is more susceptible to environmental changes, according to the analysis. Should next summer be as warm as this summer, the level of melt could be great.
Last winter, the wind patterns associated with the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation transported a great deal of multiyear ice from the coast of the Canadian Arctic into the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. Scientists speculated that much of this ice, some five years or older, would survive the summer melt period. Instead, it mostly melted away.
At the end of the summer 2010, less than 15 percent of the ice remaining the Arctic was more than two years old, compared to 50 to 60 percent during the 1980s. There is virtually none of the oldest (at least five years old) ice remaining in the Arctic (less than 60,000 square kilometers, or 23,000 square miles, compared to 2 million square kilometers, or 722,000 square miles, during the 1980s).
Whether younger multiyear ice (two or three years old) in the Arctic Ocean will continue to age and thicken depends on how much of that ice stays in the Arctic instead of exiting into the North Atlantic through Fram Strait whether the ice survives its transit across the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas or instead melts away.
Since NSIDC began satellite measurements of sea ice extent, the trend in the Arctic has been one of decline. Click on this video Arctic Sea Ice Decline to watch a movie of annual maximums and minimums.
For the first 12 years, sea ice melt was usually followed by a recovery. But in 2002 the sea ice minimum fell to a then-record 2.3 million square miles, more than 66,000 square miles below the previous low. It failed to rebound in 2004. In 2005, sea ice extent fell to another low, 2.15 million square miles, and then, in 2007, it underwent a massive drop, to 1.65 million square miles, the lowest yet.

When it comes to high heels, the chances are you can’t remember a life before them. Whether you wear high heels yourself, remember your mum or aunts rocking them when you were younger or you’re simply an admirer high heels tend to have a place in everyone’s life - some more than others though, it has to be said!
Whatever your relationship with high heels, how much do you really know about them? We’ve taken a look at some interesting things about high heels that you may not have known.
High heels were actually invented for men and it wasn’t until long after their creation that women were seen donning the look. You see very few men wearing high heels now, though it isn’t uncommon for shorter men to wear raised shoes.
The name for having a high heel fetish is ‘altocalciphilia’. So, if you really love high heels you may have a touch of altocalciphilia.
It was Catherine de Medici that first brought high heels to the attention of women around the world, all the way back in the 16th century. She wanted to make an impression when she arrived in France to marry soon-to-be-King Henry, and being short just wasn’t going to work. So, she threw on a pair of heels.
The infamous red sole of Christian Louboutin shoes was inspired by Andy Warhol’s painting entitled ‘Flowers’. Warhol is known for the bright, eye-catching colours used in his artworks and this can definitely be said for red soled shoes.
Wedge shoes were invented out of necessity. When Italy was faced with being unable to trade with other countries in the 1940s designers were unable to purchase materials to create the heel, and so turned to other designs.
Running in heels can cause arthritis, according to a 2013 study. So, if you’re going to be running it’s best to stick to comfortable trainers.
Roger-Henri Vivier is the person who is thought to have popularised the stiletto heel back in the 1950s, a high heel style that is still popular today.
High heels aren’t always comfortable and though they are extremely popular, most of us struggle to wear them for long periods of time. Help is here in the form of Heelho, take a look!

when it comes to high heels, the chances are you can’t remember a life before them. whether you wear high heels yourself, remember your mum or aunts rocking them when you were younger or you’re simply an admirer high heels tend to have a place in everyone’s life - some more than others though, it has to be said!

Among the more than 2 million registered nurses across the country, only about 10 percent are men, according to the latest census data. For Chris Stallard, MSN, RN, FNP-C, COHC, that statistic is troubling. He wants to know what is holding men back from pursuing a career in nursing. He believes that promoting more diversity and inclusion in the nursing community leads to better care for patients.
Stallard is a family nurse practitioner with Professional Performance Development Group, Inc. and an occupational health nurse for Johnson & Johnson in Texas and Arkansas. Stallard first wanted to be a nurse after helping provide relief during both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. While helping, he realized that he enjoyed how nursing let him connect with people, and he immediately told his wife that he wanted to be a nurse. The couple moved to San Angelo, Tex., and Stallard started nursing school.
While in nursing school, Stallard noticed that students often learned about female nursing pioneers like Florence Nightingale and Dorothea Dix, but heard very little about the rich history of men in nursing, dating back to the first nursing school (for men) created in India in 250 B.C. or Friar Juan de Mena, the first identified nurse in what was to become the U.S., 70 years before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.
According to Stallard, a slight bias against men in nursing often begins in the classroom and continues into many aspects of nursing practice. Even the term “male nurse” is in itself a barrier.
However, for many patients, the term “male nurse” is insignificant.
Stallard hopes other men will consider nursing as a career.
And for female nurses, interested in addressing the issues he describes for men in nursing?
For more information about the history of men in nursing, visit DiscoverNursing.com. You can also see a short video featuring Tom, a pediatric oncology nurse, below. Additionally, nurses interested in connecting with a community of men in nursing can join the American Assembly for Men in Nursing (AAMN). The AAMN works to support men who are nurses and demonstrate to society the increasing contributions being made by men within the nursing profession.

Capturing the love between a couple is nothing short of amazing. As an engagement photographer in Bloomsburg, PA I get to see the true and utter happiness that they have each other.
You can see their happiness by the way they move around each other. By the way they touch ever so gently. By the way they look at each other. They give this look that they get lost in each others eyes and love. You KNOW they are saying how much they love each other with their eyes. Wellllll maybe the one of the couple that didn’t want to be there to take photos is actually saying….. “when can we get out of here?”. But either way I KNOW they love each other.
I love when couples come to me and have a vision of what they want their engagement session to look like. I also love when couples leave me to be creative and do my thang. I guess that just says that I love any and all engagement sessions. I get to be with them and laugh with them and enjoy seeing them love each other.

Can you whitelist certain words from being auto-corrected?
I'm aware you can turn off autocorrect entirely. However I feel like Rick & Morty is popular enough to warrant its exclusion from being autocorrected to Marty.
Is there any way to override/prevent auto-correct for specific words?
Generally, you can tap the little × in the autocorrect bubble to block the autocorrect (or pick the left-most choice if using Predictive). Do this enough times and iOS will learn your typing habits and stop trying to correct that word.
For a more permanent solution, you can also add that word into your systemwide custom dictionary.
Under Phrase enter Morty. Then either leave the Shortcut field blank, or enter morty in lowercase so the name gets capitalized automatically.
Note that these text replacements synchronize across your iOS and macOS devices over iCloud. However if you also want to add a word on macOS, it’s under  → System Preferences → Keyboard → Text.
How can I force my keyboard backlight to turn on?
On iOS 8, how do I turn on spell check without turning on Auto Correct?

LONDON — A global “ransomware” cyberattack, unprecedented in scale, had technicians scrambling to restore Britain’s crippled hospital network Saturday and secure the computers that run factories, banks, government agencies and transport systems in many other nations.
The worldwide effort to extort cash from computer users spread so widely that Microsoft quickly changed its policy, making security fixes available for free for the older Windows systems still used by millions of individuals and smaller businesses.
A malware tracking map showed “WannaCry” infections popping up around the world. Britain canceled or delayed treatments for thousands of patients, even people with cancer. Train systems were hit in Germany and Russia, and phone companies in Madrid and Moscow. Renault’s futuristic assembly line in Slovenia, where rows of robots weld car bodies together, was stopped cold.
In Brazil, the social security system had to disconnect its computers and cancel public access. The state-owned oil company Petrobras and Brazil’s Foreign Ministry also disconnected computers as a precautionary measure, and court systems went down, too.
And all this may be just a taste of what’s coming, another cyber security expert warned.
Computer users worldwide — and everyone else who depends on them — should assume that the next big “ransomware” attack has already been launched, and just hasn’t manifested itself yet, Ori Eisen, who founded the Trusona cybersecurity firm in Scottsdale, Arizona, told The Associated Press.
It could have been much worse if not for a young cybersecurity researcher who helped to halt its spread by accidentally activating a so-called “kill switch” in the malicious software.
The 22-year-old Britain-based researcher, identified online only as MalwareTech, explained Saturday that he spotted a hidden web address in the “WannaCrypt” code and made it official by registering its domain name. That inexpensive move redirected the attacks to MalwareTech’s server, which operates as a “sinkhole” to keep malware from escaping.
“Because WannaCrypt used a single hardcoded domain, my registration of it caused all infections globally to believe they were inside a sandbox … thus we initially unintentionally prevented the spread,” the researcher said, humbly and anonymously, in his blog post.
His move may have saved governments and companies millions of dollars and slowed the outbreak before U.S.-based computers were more widely infected.
Indeed, while FedEx Corp. reported that its Windows computers were “experiencing interference” from malware — it wouldn’t say if it had been hit by the ransomware — other impacts in the U.S. were not readily apparent on Saturday.
That said, the threat hasn’t disappeared, the MalwareTech researcher said.
Microsoft had made fixes for older systems, such as 2001′s Windows XP, available only to mostly larger organizations, including Britain’s National Health Service, that paid extra for extended technical support. In light of Friday’s attacks, Microsoft announced that it’s making the fixes free to all.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Public School students will have a new way to earn college credits while still in high school.
Starting next year, new legislation will ensure that any CPS student with a passing score on International Baccalaureate exams will receive college credit applicable at any public, post-secondary institution in Illinois.
More than 13,000 students will benefit from the change, CPS officials said.
"When those students pass those classes they actually get college credit which is something that advances our goal of more students not only going to college but completing college successfully," said Janice Jackson, CPS chief education officer.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the change will help CPS reach his goal of ensuring that at least half of all students earn college credit by 2019.

More and more, government must deal with the mountains of things that overflow from our houses and garages. Better policies could help.
During the day, I'm a public official. At night, I'm an unpaid, bitter housekeeper. I'm the father of a 7- and a 3-year-old, and my wife and I spend at least an hour every night picking up Legos, balls, dolls, backpacks and clothes.
I never imagined that two little human beings could generate so much stuff. Loving grandparents, aunts and even trips to the dentist spawn little plastic or stuffed toys that my wife and I will eventually spend significant parts of our leisure time moving from place to place in our house, until I lose my patience and donate it so that the stuff can clutter some other families' homes. The daily management of piles of plastic stuff is not what I expected from fatherhood.
Now, my day job is starting to feel like my night job. I ran for office to help people and protect our open spaces. Yet it's occurring to me that much of what government is now doing is managing the consumption, impact and disposal of stuff.
Economic development staff recruits stuff makers and providers to our community. Our transportation system moves stuff from one place to the next. Our land use reckons with bigger and bigger houses being built or remodeled to contain stuff, not to mention acres of offsite storage units. Neighborhood disputes arise from hoarding, people owning too many cars or, more often, garages that are filled with stuff instead of cars and making street parking more difficult. Courts are inundated with people arrested for stealing stuff. Legions of government workers spend their days inspecting and taxing stuff. And, of course, our waste streams are overwhelmed with the disposal of stuff.
When did we allow stuff to hijack our lives and government? What can we do about it?
• The average size of the American home has nearly tripled over the past 50 years, even though the number of people living in those homes has shrunk.
• One out of every 10 Americans rents offsite storage. It has been the fastest-growing segment of the commercial real-estate industry over the past 40 years. The United States now has more than 50,000 storage facilities, more than five times the number of Starbucks. Currently there is 7.3 square feet of self-storage space for every man, woman and child in the nation.
• Although only 3.1 percent of the world's children live in America, they consume 40 percent of the world's toys.
• The average American throws away 65 pounds of clothing per year. Each pair of jeans requires 7,000 liters of water to make (that's how much water someone drinks in five to six years).
• Shopping malls outnumber high schools.
• Incentives, such as lower fees and faster permitting, for smaller homes as well as moratoriums and limits on large homes and storage facilities.
• Replacing the sales tax with a services tax and a carbon tax to make local governments less biased toward siting big-box retailers and emphasizing consumption.
• Tax incentives for repair shops and the purchase of used goods.
• Packaging reductions and bans on unnecessary plastics.
• Financial literacy education programs for both adults and children.

In an era of consolidation and decreasing reimbursements, how can hospitals and health systems provide substantial population health programs for their patient populations?
Kevin Ban, MD, CMO of athenahealth, and Deborah Bulger, executive director of strategic account management programs for Change Healthcare, discussed the qualities of successful population health programs and their impact on various patient populations during an April 13 panel at Becker's Hospital Review 9th Annual Meeting, which took place in Chicago from April 11 through April 14.
According to Dr. Ban, when the healthcare industry refers to population health, "We're referring to a payment model — we're paying for outcomes, budget, quality metrics and figuring out how an organization will reap the benefits at a much later date." A contract like that, he noted, presents an incredibly risky situation for payers.
"The joke I hear a lot [in terms of population health] is, 'Systems are spending millions of dollars so they can lose millions of dollars.' The fee-for-service model works for most organizations — it takes a tremendous amount of courage for people entering into value-based contracts [to do so]," Dr. Ban said.
However, it is possible to get an organization's physician staff and administration on board in adopting certain population health initiatives. One of the key ways to do so, according to Ms. Bulger, is to present physicians and other stakeholders with tangible data explaining how certain population health initiatives will lead to better patient outcomes.
"The management of data is important to garner physicians' trust [and] create an environment that incentivizes physicians to ask questions about the [population health] model," she said, adding leadership and staff must also examine "how [an organization's] care management programs reduce readmissions and where those patients go after they leave the hospital and what kind of care they get, the types of interventions that are taken there. … It is a very different approach than what we took even 20 years ago."
While the goal of population health initiatives is to improve health outcomes for patients across the board, Dr. Ban said it is unlikely an organization's programs will affect every patient that comes through the hospital.
"You won't be able to move the needle on certain patient populations, so don't even bother. Trauma care is one of them; there are others," he said. "You have to be judicious because your resources are limited. [You have to] get used to the fact you're not going to be able to impact all of your populations, but it's a great goal to have."

Or, so I argue in my latest piece for Open Borders: The Case. If you don't know, I've become an occasional blogger for that website, putting my name among a set of thinkers who far out-class me. I hope to win over the hearts and minds of the various immigration skeptics out there. You have to start somewhere, and I've chosen to start with property rights.

In planning for a class all about berries that I’ll be teaching soon at The Roanoke Coop, I’ve been stirring up and swapping out different dressings with varying lineups of salad ingredients. For a mix of spinach and sprouts and strawberries and pecans, I had first matched my popular Poppy Seed Dressing. Then I remembered how well balsamic vinegar pairs with strawberries and I started my search for a Balsamic Vinaigrette that would be up for the task. I wanted this dressing to be simple and perfectly balanced between sharp and sweet. After a bit of trial and error, I hit gold. I’ve made it a couple times and not only does it pair amazingly with strawberries and spinach, it brings out the best in just about every salad I’ve put it on. This is a new go-to recipe for me, for sure.
Place all ingredients in a shallow bowl or a glass canning jar. Whisk, stir or shake until all is well-mixed. Drizzle generously over salads of all stripes. Keeps in an air-tight container in the fridge for about a week — but it won’t last that long!
