I moved my arm, and opened one eye to look at him. "
of the duties?"
He grinned. "Well," he said. "Maybe not
I took a deep breath, and stepped out of the town car.
John, the driver, gave us a jaunty wave. I smoothed my hair and took Daniel's arm as we approached the huge marble staircase. They certainly spared no expense for this one.
The banquet hall was grand, and already packed to the gills with people. We made our way through the crowd, searching for the place cards with our names on them. I knew the drill by now. If you walked with purpose, you were less likely to end up with a microphone or a camera shoved in your face.
"Hey, Thorne! Thorne!" Someone was waving from across the room, and he looked about ready to elbow his way through the sea of people like a runningback. Daniel, his smile frozen, started towards him to meet halfway. I followed.
Once he was closer, I recognized the man. He was the owner of the company whose stock Daniel had been accused of trading on inside information; I had only met him once or twice, when he'd testified in the trial. I couldn't quite recall his name. Stephen something?
"It's good to see you," said Daniel, shaking his hand, almost sounding like he meant it. "How's everything been?"
"Oh, just fantastic. Great."
Stephen's wife was looking me up and down. "Hello, dear," she said, doing a decent job of covering up the fact that she couldn't remember my name either. "That's a very - interesting dress."
"Thanks," I said, although I was pretty sure it wasn't a compliment.
"The color's certainly appropriate for the occasion, though," she said. I glanced around the room; there actually were a fair number of other women in red.
"Right," I said. "Because of…the…"
"Women's heart disease awareness," she said, her smile warming a little. "Don't worry, I have trouble keeping track of them too."
I let out a long breath. "Thanks. Now I know what my, uh…talking points are, I guess." We'd been standing still too long. I could see the journalists starting to descend upon us. "Is the dress really that bad? It was all they had at the store that wasn't…even more horrible."
"Oh, it's fine," she said, in a tone that made me not quite believe her.
"Mrs. Thorne," said a journalist, before rattling off her name and affiliation so quickly that I immediately forgot. "How are you doing tonight?"
"Great," I said. "Just great. How are you?"
"Do you have any personal connection to the cause tonight?"
I breathed a silent prayer of thanks to Stephen's wife, What's-Her-Name. "Well, you know, as a woman, of course I'm deeply concerned about the fact that heart disease is often overlooked. It's a number one killer of women, yet it's still thought of as being a men's disease. Most people don't even know how to properly resuscitate a woman, or hook her up to a defibrillator. Their heart attack symptoms are different, even. It's important that we get the word out about these issues. Women are dying every day." I was rattling off facts that I vaguely remembered having read in some news article online, and I could see that the journalist's eyes were starting to glaze over. "Anyway, that's…you know, that's just how I feel about it." It was a pretty weak way to end it, but hopefully they'd cut that part out for their quotable quote.
"Thank you, Mrs. Thorne," she said. "Your passion is…inspiring."
"No problem." I drifted over towards Daniel, who'd been drawn into the orbit of another journalist.
"…and I think every man should be concerned - I am. For my wife, for my sister, for…my daughter, someday, if…" he drifted off, glancing at me as I approached.
"You're planning to have a family? Any time soon?" The journalist had a gleam in his eyes.
"Well, no. No," Daniel modified, quickly. "We don't - well, we've still got plenty of time. I'm young. We're young. And the way things are now, it wouldn't really be fair to a kid. I work long hours. Someday. Maybe. I don't know."
The journalist finally took pity on him, and directed the line of questioning elsewhere. I stood by, hearing the words, but lost in thought about what he'd said before. Daniel and I had talked about children. Honestly, I was a little terrified of the idea, and he seemed pretty reticent as well. He seemed convinced that his own father had never wanted them, and he couldn't stand the idea of becoming like that. I could understand the impulse, even if I was convinced that he'd be a much better dad than his father ever was.
I'd be lying if I said the thought never crossed my mind. Sometimes I'd see a kid with bright green eyes like his, or dark hair with those loose, wavy curls. And I'd wonder. What would little Daniel look like? Or…Daniela?
I chuckled to myself as we sat down to dinner. Of course I'd never actually saddle one of our kids with their father's name. It was just funny to imagine. I remembered Daniel's sister, Lindsey, telling me about how he'd been hyper and uncontrollable when he was little. It was hard to picture. I wanted to see it firsthand, and there was really only one way to do that.
Of course, there was no guarantee we'd ever have a son. We might have a daughter, like he'd said. We might have a little girl with his features, and I didn't mind admitting that she'd be quite pretty if she did. Prettier than me.
A plate appeared in front of me, but I wasn't really interested in the idea of eating. I pushed the steak around, trying to psych myself up for actually taking a bite.
"Do you really want to have a daughter?" I said, at last, quietly. Daniel froze for a moment, then laid his fork down carefully on the edge of his plate.
"It was just something to say for the press," he said, his voice very cool and even. "I wish I hadn't. Now they're going to latch onto it. There's nothing they want more than a Thorne heir. It would give them fodder for ages."
A Thorne heir
. Leave it to Danny to come up with the coldest possible way to describe our potential child.
"Oh, okay." I stared at my plate, keeping my voice low. I was mindful that someone might be listening. "Just curious."
I woke up to a buzzing from my phone on the nightstand. Groping for it blindly, I tried to remember what that particular notification sound signified. Daniel had guilted me into beta-testing an operating system overhaul, and all of my settings had been scrambled.
It took a few seconds of blinking and shaking my head before I was able to understand the popup alert. It was an email, from Emily. The subject line said:
Got something to tell me?
I opened it, my sleepy brain unable to even halfway guess at the contents.
Inside, there was a link, leading to a gossip blog I was pretty sure I'd been featured on before. And underneath:
P.S. Next time, let me pick the dress.
Cringing, I clicked the link.
The site took a painfully long time to load. I had to zoom in on my mobile browser before my still-blurry eyes could process what I was seeing.
I scrolled down to the picture, hoping against hope that I was actually still asleep, and this was nothing more than a nightmare.
Out of all the times I had consciously and subconsciously posed for the camera, they'd managed to dig out a picture of me walking down the stairs as we left for the night, from the most unflattering angle possible. And the way the dress bunched around my stomach - okay, even I had to admit it looked a little suspicious.
Oh, God.
Madeline Thorne was looking radiant in her eighties throwback dress at the benefit for women's heart disease - but did she pick it for a reason other than the color? Maybe she just needed something to fit over her growing bundle of joy. Daniel mentioned a "future daughter" in a conversation with a journalists, and sources say they overheard the couple speaking in hushed tones over dinner.
The couple leads an intensely private life, but…
I couldn't read any more. I went back to Emily's email and typed a one-word response:
Against all logic, a few minutes later, I found myself staring at my reflection in the mirror, sideways. I'd never been one of those flat-stomached girls, but I didn't exactly have a "baby bump" either. And certainly not one with an actual baby in it.
One I'd stopped frowning at my reflection, I went back to my phone and texted Daniel.
The gossip blogs think I'm pregnant.
I was already halfway through breakfast when his response came.
Ha ha.
"It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it?"
Daniel looked up from the sheaf of papers in his hand. "Hmm?"
"I mean, if I was." I stared at the computer screen. "Pregnant."
Daniel frowned at the paperwork. "But you're not," he said.
"Of course I'm not," I said. "And if I was far along enough to show, I'd definitely know about it."
"I should hope so." He flipped through a few of the papers, and set them down. "Let me ask you something."
"Sure," I said, sitting back.
"How's that OS update?" He jerked his head in the direction of my phone. "I've got a meeting with the team tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to report back on the user experience."
"Oh. Yeah, of course." I cleared my throat. "Well, I don't like that it jumbled all my settings."
"Which ones?" He was pulling a tiny notebook out of his pocket. "Be specific."
"Ringtones. My wallpaper. I don't know. Everything."
"And this happened immediately after you installed the update?"
"Yeah, I think so."
He was scribbling. I looked back at the picture of myself that was blown up full-size on my computer screen; by this time, it had appeared on every gossip blog I knew about, and several I didn't. I figured it was only a matter of time before it actually headlined a tabloid. This wasn't my first rodeo. But admittedly, it was the first time I'd been accused of being pregnant.
No, "accused" wasn't the right word. Actually, from the tone of the articles, it almost seemed like they were…happy for me. That meant that they expected their readers to be happy for me, too.
I had ventured into the comments sections of a few of the blogs, against my better judgment, but very few of the discussions actually had anything to do with me, and before long, the whole thing devolved into a pissing match between two different people who apparently had very fundamentally different beliefs about the New World Order, though to the untrained eye, they seemed exactly the same.
I considered using some of Daniel's contacts in the media to do the classic "sorry, I'm not pregnant" disclaimer, but I figured no one would believe me anyway. All most readers needed was to see my name near the word "pregnant" and it would be lodged in their brains forever as the truth.
Anyway, I supposed it was nice to know that if I
pregnant, it wouldn't be met with a tide of public disapproval.
"So." Daniel frowned at me curiously. "Tell me about what happened to your ringtones."
He brought home two more manuscripts the next week, with a sour expression on his face. I almost had to laugh, but I could tell he wasn't amused by it.
"I don't understand," he said. "There
some capable writers out there. Somewhere. Right?"
"Of course," I said. "But they might not be putting themselves out for hire to write a rich guy's biography."
"What, are you saying they think it's beneath them?" His expression suggested he thought this was a completely ridiculous excuse.
"Well, for some people, you know, it's an art form. They're working on their…great American novel, or whatever. They don't necessarily want to do something, uh, commercial."
He was looking at me like I was from a different planet.
I raised my hands, palms outward. "Look, I'm not saying it makes good business sense, but that's just how some people operate. They take their craft seriously."
"And I don't?" he shot back, opening one of the kitchen cabinets and pulling out a bag of almonds.
"I'm just saying, it's a different perspective." I picked up the manuscripts, skimming over them. The top one had a few grammar irregularities, which I thought was pretty sloppy for a writing sample meant to sell Daniel on their merits. But the other was even worse. It was completely spiritless and disinterested. I felt like I was reading a user's manual.
"There aren't going to work," I said. "There's got to be someone else out there."
"I liked the first one," he protested, snatching it away from me. "Sort of. I mean, what's wrong with it?"
"Here," I said, pointing to the second paragraph. "Here, he doesn't have parallel structure. And then down here." I placed my finger further down the page. "The second clause of the sentence doesn't correctly refer back to the subject. I mean, everyone makes mistakes, sure. Absolutely. I won't crucify the guy over it. But this is supposed to be the way he proves himself to you. This is his one chance to make a first impression. He should be putting more effort in, I think. But hey, that's just my opinion."
Daniel was looking at me closely - frowning, almost, but not with displeasure.
"You know a lot about this sort of thing," he said, finally.
I shrugged. "I did okay in English class."
He slid the manuscript back over in front of him, and looked at it again. "Now that you mention it, there is something…
about it. I never would have noticed anything specific, though."
"Neither will most of your readers, probably."
"Still. I don't want to put out a shoddy product." He looked up at me again. "Why don't
do it?"
"Do what? Interview them?" I shook my head. "No way, Mr. Thorne. Hard limit."
He laughed. "No. I mean, write it."
"Are you insane?" I got up, going to the sink to rinse out my glass. "I haven't written anything since my last college essay."
"Well?" he said, swiveling around on the stool, his hands folded in his lap.
"Well?" I echoed. "Do I really have to list all the reasons why I don't really think I can just…dive into writing a

Case Report
Vortioxetine-Induced Mania | Psychiatrist.com
Published: September 10, 2020
Graphorrhea as a Harbinger of Bipolar Mood Disorder Induced by Vortioxetine
Graphorrhea in the context of mood disorders is considered the visual analogue of logorrhea and thus a "soft" bipolar sign. The following case illustrates the importance of remaining vigilant when assessing patients with a change in mood and graphorrhea.
Case Report
A 27-year-old Iranian man was brought to the psychiatry service by his wife due to a 2-week history of being withdrawn and self-depreciating as well as insomnia, anorexia, ostensibly low and dampened mood, anergia, aprosexia, and, notably, hypergraphia, which was unusual for him. He also reported suicidal ideations. There were no obvious current psychosocial stressors or genetic load, and this was his first visit to the psychiatric service. Due to safety concerns, he was admitted to the hospital inpatient service. Baseline laboratory investigations, including thyroid-stimulating hormone, toxicology screen, electroencephalography, and neuroimaging were all negative. His Hamilton Depression Rating Scale1 score indicated profound depression.
The mental status evaluation revealed a lanky, sallow, gaunt, pallid man with downcast eyes who looked older than his age and appeared forlorn, morose, slouched, and psychomotorically sluggish. He was soft spoken and would respond only to direct succinct questions with terse, short answers; he presented restricted affectivity with reported hollowed mood, depressive cognitions, somatic over concern, and suicidal intent. No psychotic features were detected. Graphorrhea was evident throughout his diary provided by his wife.
Vortioxetine, a serotonin modulator and stimulator antidepressant, was started at 10 mg in the morning after meals with alprazolam 0.25 mg as needed. Over 2 days, his mood quickly improved, and he appeared energized. A few days later, he became verbose, hyperactive, overly familiar, and disinhibited, with fitful sleep, inappropriate jocularity, and continued graphorrhea, which morphed into pornographorrhea that extended to graffiti on ward walls. Vortioxetine-induced mania was considered, and the medication was discontinued. The patient was kept under close observation and given intramuscular lorazepam as needed. Over the next week, his condition escalated to psychotic mania, as he was now endorsing grandeur and persecutory delusions, and his mood turned mercurial with dysphoric quality. Quetiapine extended release 300 mg was started and titrated to 800 mg on day 4 with tangible improvement over the next 2 weeks. He was discharged and followed up at weeks 4, 8, and 12 with a plateau of euthymia, sound sleep, treatment adherence, and, above all, no graphorrhea. As of this writing, he was back at work and doing well. His only complaint was weight gain, which was addressed through a dietician.
Hypergraphia,2 or graphorrhea, has been tied to organicity (eg, interictal personality and stroke) but also has been reported in schizophrenia and mania, wherein the patient has a compulsive tendency to write at length.3 Hypergraphia is defined as a tendency to excessively write that goes beyond any social, occupational, or educational requirements.4 This condition should be differentiated from organic automatic writing behavior (reiterative graphorrhea) wherein writing perseveration without elaboration is evident.5
As this case portrays, graphorrhea was the only sign that could have pointed to bipolarity lurking in the background of a "pseudounipolar" presentation triggered by exposure to the antidepressant vortioxetine. The triazolo benzodiazepine alprazolam is notorious for inducing mania6 and could be contributory in this case as well. As similar cases abound in the literature,7 it is suggested that clinicians be vigilant when assessing patients with a change in mood and graphorrhea, especially pornographomania, which is a visual analog of logorrhea and indicative of accelerated thought processes and a "soft" sign of bipolarity.

Super Bowl party hosting tips and recipes
- January 30, 2017 |Last updated on 01/24/2022
With the Super Bowl around the corner, it's time to hone your hosting skills to make game day easier. As it is, it's pretty stressful when it comes to watching the game itself — every play and pass counts. So, make the second most important part of the big game — the food — easy with some clever tricks and shortcuts.
Here are nine of our favorite Super Bowl party hacks to use so that you can better focus on the game.
1. Watch The Super Bowl For Free Without Cable
If you're going to host a Super Bowl party, the first thing you've got to figure out is how you'll watch the big game! Super Bowl LVI will air on NBC on Feb. 13. If you don't have cable, you can still tune into the Super Bowl. You can stream it on Peacock or the NBC Sports app, for example. But if you want to avoid subscription fees, the original way to watch the Super Bowl remains the most cost-effective and reliable: install an over-the-air digital antenna. Since the game always airs on either CBS, Fox or NBC — three of the major over-the-air broadcast networks — it's totally free for anyone with a TV and antenna to watch on their local affiliate.
If you've already got your over-the-air antenna set up and your local NBC affiliate is already scanned into your channel lineup, simply flip to that station on the day of the game and enjoy the coverage from start to finish, fee-free, including NBC's pre- and post-game shows, all the commercials and the halftime show.
If you don't have an over-the-air antenna, check out this guide on finding the best one for your needs, then install it and run a scan for channels on your TV. Your local NBC affiliate should be among the ones you receive and that's where you'll want to flip on game day.
2. The Best And Easiest Spinach Artichoke Dip — Ever
Hands down, this is the best and easiest spinach artichoke dip you'll ever make. It has all our favorite things, and more — canned artichoke hearts, frozen spinach, various cheeses, sour cream and a little bit of milk.
3. Make Two Slow-Cooker Dips At Once
In the past, we've told you about genius slow-cooker tricks you definitely need to try, and making two dips at once was one of them. The trick? Just use some aluminum foil to divide your Crock-Pot in half, so to speak. You can watch this mini-tutorial from Delish for the 4-1-1.
4. Use Your Slow Cooker — For Everything, Especially Chicken Wings
In case you missed it, we love our slow cookers here at Simplemost. You can make so many different things in your slow cooker (aka Crock-Pot), from buffalo wings to spicy honey garlic ones. You can check out some of our favorite delicious slow cooker wing recipes.
5. Make Chili
Aside from dips and chicken wings, use your slow cooker to make chili. It's hearty, easy and will satisfy all your Super Bowl party guests. You can make a meat-based one, as well as a vegetarian one. We like this chicken taco chili recipe from Skinnytaste. But don't worry, it's not skinny on flavor!
6. Use This Chips-And-Dip Hack
Presentation is everything when it comes to serving food, right? And aside from chicken wings, chips seem to be a Super Bowl party staple. We love this The Organised Housewife. Just grab a bowl and a margarita or wine glass, fill the glass with your dip and place it in the bowl, then fill the bowl with chips, and presto!
7. Stock Up On Alcohol From A Wholesale Club — Even If You Are Not A Member
Speaking of wine … Not everyone has a membership to places like Costco and Sam's Club, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from their perks. You can buy alcohol without a membership at Sam's Club and at certain Costco stores.
8. Make A Football-Themed Dessert
If you want to make a sweet football-themed dish, why not try this football brownie cake? This is my favorite Super Bowl food item to make. It's so easy, and people always eat it up, so to speak.
9. Line Your Trash Can — With A Lot Of Garbage Bags
On Super Bowl Sunday, aside from the game and food, your trash can will probably be popular, too. For a simple trash bag hack, try putting in 10 trash bags at once, each one inside another.
Okay, is anyone else as hungry as we are now after reading about all of these Super Bowl party hacks?

You're driving down the interstate and your tire pressure monitor light comes on. You notice the tire pressure slowly dropping. 25psi, 20, 15. Your heart quickens and your eyes dart to the side of the road. The shoulder is narrow, and doesn't feel like the safest place to be. The sign says the next rest stop is 10 miles. What do you do? Keep going and chance damaging your tire and maybe more? Or, should you pull over to the shoulder and call the tow service?
How far is too far?
To be safe, driving on a flat tire at all is too far. If your tire has lost all air pressure, it not only will damage the tire beyond the possibility of repair, but can put you in harm's way. A flat tire doesn't have the same traction or control as it does when it is inflated, and can cause you to lose control and get into an accident.
If your tire still has some air, or if you have a way of inflating a tire with a slow leak, it may be safe to take it to the tire repair shop. If you choose to drive it to the shop, stop every mile or so to check the tire's pressure. If it has become totally flat, don't drive any further; call a tow service to bring you the rest of the way.
What happens to my tire if I drive on it flat?
When you drive on a flat tire, the rim puts extreme pressure on the tire, pinching it between the rim and the road. It shreds the inside lining of the tire, eliminating the possibility of repairing the tire. Only drive on a flat tire to get yourself out of harm's way, like driving on a roadway without a shoulder.

95 POINTS & TOP 100 | James Halliday
95 POINTS | James Suckling
93 POINTS | Decanter
91+ POINTS | Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Sons of Eden have carved a name for themselves as producers of premium South Australian wines and continue to make waves with these exciting new releases. The winery takes it name from winemakers Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham, who both learnt their trades in the vineyards and cellars of Eden Valley and this is showstopper Shiraz from one of the hottest winemaking teams in the Barossa. They absolutely nail the modern Barossa style - bringing refinement and subtle textures into focus without losing the plush, opulent fruit weight that the Barossa has built its reputation on. Fruit is sourced from 20-80 year old vines and that heritage shows through loud and clear.
If you're a fan of premium Barossa Shiraz, this is joy in a glass. We are besotted with it. Get involved.
James Halliday writes "Top 100 Wines of 2022. A smooth, supple medium-bodied wine is the result, with plum and blackberry fruits, integrated oak and tannins. Value-plus."
James Suckling writes "Another top shiraz with lead-pencil and graphite character to the dark fruit. Full-bodied and tight with firm tannins that run the length of the wine. Finishes with lead-pencil shavings. Very unique."
Natalie Earl, Decanter writes "Sons of Eden consistently produce well-loved, high-scoring wines. This Barossa Valley Shiraz is no exception - it's a well-made, sophisticated wine, deep and dark in the glass. It's alive with sweet cassis and cherry drops, intense black fruit, spicy plum and mocha. A real powerhouse of a wine that's elevated by lovely mouthwatering acidity."
The winery writes "Dense garnet in colour, with an alluring mix of red-licorice, spiced plum and white chocolate aromas. The palate is rich, rounded and intensely flavoured, finishing with a robust vitality. Delicious drinking upon release but will mature very well for the medium to longer term."

Add Security And Supply Chain Trust To Your ASIC Or SoC With eFPGAs
Using design obfuscation to keep confidential designs confidential.
By Ralph Grundler, Flex Logix
Before Covid-induced supply chain issues affected semiconductor availability and lead times, concerns about counterfeit parts and trusted supply chains were becoming the subject of many articles and discussions affecting critical data centers, communications, public infrastructure, and facilities such as regional power plants and the grid. Today's semiconductor design and manufacturing is complex, requiring touchpoints in many stages of development and gone are the days where the entire design stays in-house from design conception to manufacturing, packaging, test, and distribution. Even though there are many security and encryption techniques designers can use to make a chip secure, what else can be done to increase the confidence that the chip is trustworthy? eFPGA opens a new range of capabilities
One issue with today's modern design flow is the access to "Trusted Fabs" for confidential designs. Just too many eyes in the process flow to assure that a confidential design can be kept confidential. Some would say this is a crisis for accessing fabs below 14nm.

How to visit Nicosia Airport, Cyprus – Nicosia airport tour
The Nicosia Airport of Cyprus is one of the most interesting places for aviation lovers. It's the former main airport of the island that is now totally abandoned. It was in use until the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and it's been left as-is after that.
What makes Nicosia Airport special is the fact that it's in the buffer zone of Cyprus. This is an area that is controlled by none of the governing forces of the island. The result is super interesting: Nicosia Airport has been left abandoned and it's pretty much in the same condition as it was in the 1970s.
If you get the chance to see the airport you can experience something unique. As in stepping back into a different era. Of course, ever since, nature has started to reclaim the buildings and runways but it's still a very interesting place to see.
However, being in the buffer zone, access is very limited. It is currently used by the United Nations. It's also a dangerous place as landmines are still in the area. So, if you want to visit you must be 100% committed to the case.
The abandoned Nicosia Airport is definitely not your usual tourist sight and we highly doubt regular tourists can gain access.
Nicosia Airport Tour – Possible?
Now, with abandoned places like the Nicosia Airport, it's usually possible to do a guided tour. When it comes to an official Nicosia Airport tour, we have to disappoint you. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist. There is no option for a guided tour or an otherwise guided visit. At least not in person.
For anyone who is interested there is actually a virtual tour available. Thanks to modern technology we can now provide such amazing experiences. It is a good option for anyone who doesn't qualify for a permit. In other words: regular tourists can only take a virtual tour of the airport.
If you want to take the virtual tour, head over to the NIC Project website and you can start exploring right away.
This way you can explore the terminal, the runways, and even the abandoned planes. The project also provided some historical insight you would not get when visiting by yourself.
If you want to read more you may also check out this first-hand experience by Roman Robroek photography: https://romanrobroek.nl/
How to request access to Nicosia Airport
Are you an academic? A researcher? Maybe an independent photographer or filmmaker? Then you might be able to get an official permit for visiting the airport.
You need to apply directly with United Nations. Check out this page for more information.
Safety precautions for your visit
Did you manage to get a permit? Great! Now you will be able to tour the airport yourself. However, remember one thing: it is in a buffer zone between two conflicting forces and the terminal building is properly abandoned.
First of all: landmines are in the area. Actually, landmines are pretty common all over the buffer zone. So stick to the road. It's not safe to explore the scenery.
Another important safety issue to keep in mind is the airport terminal structure. It's been a while since the airport was in use and there was zero maintenance performed ever since. We do not recommend stepping on any metal structure at this point. Rust could have corroded its supports making it unsafe.

Adults and children both have grown attached to electronic devices. Taking the time to disconnect is essential for parents and their kids. Smartphones and tablets give you everything you need at your fingertips. Technology helps you escape and maintain social relationships with others but can also be detrimental. Games, messaging, videos, and social media become distractions and take away from quality family time.
Sometimes, adults give young children an electronic device to keep them occupied. In other circumstances, kids see their parents using their phones and want to do the same. Adults who are connected at all times teach their children the same behaviors. Kids may also feel that they aren't important. In the end, being overly connected can make people feel detached from others in a larger sense. While electronics allow you to keep in touch with family members, they can negatively impact parent/child relationships. Developing a routine to disconnect from phones will strengthen bonds. No matter the age, technology has numerous adverse effects on people.
Children need face-to-face interactions with their parents and genuine attention. By nurturing relationships, you play a role in a child's developmental skills. Parents can also promote positive self-esteem and behavior by disconnecting devices.
Here are some tips to strengthen the bond with your child by carving out times where you take a break from technology.
1. Make Mornings Matter
On a typical day, most parents have a schedule where they plan ahead. If you haven't started, set aside screen-free time in the morning for you and your child. Once you get in the habit of disconnecting, it'll become a routine and improve your relationship. By focusing on your kids instead of your phone when they first wake up, they'll feel your presence. If you have pressing issues that require being connected, wake up earlier. Take care of your business before your children start their day.
2. In the Car
Most states limit cell phone use and have some form of distracted driving laws. Instead of talking on your phone through your car's Bluetooth, make better use of the time. Spend the drive without interruptions by chatting with your kids and enjoying each other. You won't get stressed, and your children won't feel ignored by a phone call. Disconnect when you pick up your kids from school or a friend's house. Be there to greet your kids instead of texting or scrolling social media. Children will look forward to seeing you and then being able to talk to you about their day.
4. After School and After Work
Disconnect when kids come home from school and you are done with work. Enjoy a snack together, talk, and relax. Carve out time for you and your child to feel a sense of calm before dinner. Let colleagues know you're unavailable and focused on your family after work. Work-life balance is critical for mental wellness for both the parent and child.
5. Dinnertime
Set a rule in place where no electronic devices are allowed at the dinner table. You can set up a space on the counter or another room for the family to leave their phones. Also, be sure to turn the devices on silent so dinner doesn't get interrupted with texts or calls.
6. Bedtime
When putting your children to bed, don't take your phone with you. A cell phone going off will disrupt bedtime and can turn to frustration. Also, make a rule that your kids can't use their phone or tablet when in bed. You can have them set their device somewhere in the house to charge overnight.
7. Monitor Screen Time
You can monitor you and your child's screen time through settings on electronic devices. If you see that one of you is spending too much time on the phone, plan some face-to-face time.
While technology provides an escape at times, you need to unplug every now and then. Try some of these tips and see if your relationship with your child improves. Some people grow so accustomed to electronic devices that they may not know what to do. If you feel lost, the book, Before and After School Activities, provides excellent ideas that can work for you.

Will 3D Printing Replace Traditional manufacturing? And How 3D Printing Works Briefly.
A Two for One Special!
Will 3D printing replace traditional manufacturing? The short answer is even as 3d printing currently exists, and although it's evolving rapidly, for the short term, no. It's not going to replace it. It will thrive alongside it and be a part of it. 3D printing is actually considered "additive manufacturing" where you're adding to the material to manufacture a product or design.
There's no doubt that printers are getting better, and more innovative, and prices, procedures, and materials are rapidly becoming more palatable for home use. And there is a differentiation between home use, hobbyists, and professional industrial use that should be understood.
Currently, additive manufacturing is done with resin or extrusion. Extrusion, which is used for less-detail intense designs typically, is just a plastic polymer that is heated until it melts and is extruded at intervals with the nozzle moving laterally across the moderately heated bed, building upon itself as it gets higher. Which is referred to as the "Z axis" (up/down). There are many different designs of type, and many inventors trying to improve upon them constantly. The 3D community is largely open-source, which means anyone can fork and contribute to the code.

Mahamat Deby swears in as the new leader of Chad who is the commander in chief of the country's military and will take charge of the office of the country's head of state for eighteen months from now after his father Field Marshal Idriss Deby Itno died on April 19, 2021.
Mahamat's appointment is until when the 17 million-man country holds elections in two years, in which he is now free to contest. In attendance at his swearing-in ceremony was President Muhammadu Buhari, which signals Nigeria's approval of the processes that lead Mahamat to directly succeed his father, Deby. This is in spite of the bold writing in the air that the African Union abstained from the ceremony, indirectly signalling disapproval. So, why would Nigeria support an undemocratic and uncivilized uncouth tendency for hereditary succession principle? As Africa gravitates inch by inch to what seems a gradual degeneration into a bloc of dynasties is an open testimony that civilization or development would continue to bypass the continent. The dynamism of a modern egalitarian society dictates that wisdom and excellence are not a monopoly of any one family, therefore leadership, ideally should be recruited by giving capable hands a free and convenient ground to play.
The trend of transmitting power directly from father to son is most prevalent in Central Africa. In some instances, it is a direct blatant process, while in others it's an indirect arrangement of all relevant mechanisms for a son to succeed his father. The Central African Republic maintains being on the fringe of this trend at least for the moment, but for the other five states in the zone, the dynasty-type practice is well manifest. In bordering Gabon, President Ali Bongo Ondimba is the son of Omar Bongo, who ruled from 1967 to 2009, while in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joseph Kabila ruled for 17 years after succeeding his assassinated father Laurent-Désiré as head of state in 2001.
Of course, political dynasties are manifest even in developed democracies – for example, the Bushes and Kennedys in the US. It's true that in the U.S., in the recent past, both the late Bush (Snr) and Bush (Jnr), father and son became president in a non-directly successive manner. So what is the difference between the US' case and the one in Africa? In the case of the US, the democratic processes were allowed to play out according to the tenets until Bush (Jnr) emerged as Republican flag-bearer, and ultimately the president. Bush (Snr) did not play any significant role in contriving the process. His only role was of giving birth to Bush (Jnr). Nor did he play any significant role in making Bush (Jnr) the governor of Texas. This is a scenario in which another ideal of democracy is fulfilled: being a son of the president does disenfranchise one from joining the race and becoming one. However, in the emerging trend in Africa, in all cases where a son succeeds his father, the father himself or his cronies prevail on the country and get the son in place. And the continent is gradually moving in this direction.
The family transmission of power as a mode of leadership succession in Central Africa corresponds well to what part of scholarship in political science referred to as African-style democracy, reflective of anachronisms and contradiction of democratic practice in the continent. It is a paradoxical reflection of the gap that exists between the democracy practised in certain African countries and true democracy as understood in its real essence built by the competitive contest to power, political pluralism, organization of free, transparent and regular elections, fundamental freedoms and respect for human rights, separation of powers, rule of law, etc.
If the status of the son of the president cannot be regarded as a prerequisite for ineligibility, it is palpable that the mere hereditary succession of power contradicts the dictates of free and democratic competition for power. Beyond neutralizing political competition, it distorts the fair expression of the votes cast and calls into question the popular legitimacy of the political heir. Moreover, the succession of power in a dynasty style appears to be a considerable hurdle, an obstacle to the realization of democratic choice or the promotion of a real alternative.
In addition, the succession of power from father to son undermines the principle of equality of citizens before the law by consecrating an a priori imbalance, or a strange opportunity to the son who benefits in his ascension to power from all the institutional apparatuses or arrangements and financial resources of State. It logically follows then that the mechanism complementary to the hereditary transmission of power consecrates, a priori, the hegemony of a claimant to the throne by annihilating all other possible choices.
Therefore, the dynasty of republics sweeping Central African countries can literally be regarded as an outgrowth of disabled or poor governance, exemplified by corruption, the buying of conscience, embezzlement and predation of public authority.
In many African countries, such a dynasty-style transition looks imminent. Elected to a further term in March this year, after ruling the country for all except for five of the past 41 years, there's no sign of the 77-year-old head of state Denis Sassou Nguesso losing his appetite for wielding power himself. Cristel was gradually being continuously strategically positioned in the country by the father for a glaringly manifest possible succession. He was appointed administrator general of Cotrade and subsequently made deputy director general of the National Petroleum Company of Congo Brazzaville. He was brought to the centre of government operations. So if Denis-Christel eventually steps into his father's shoes, this will neatly align Congo-Brazzaville with the increasingly prevailing pattern in Central Africa.
The President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang who has been in power since ousting his tyrannical uncle Francisco Macías Nguema (the country's first head of state, back since 1979) had before now installed his son, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue as vice-president, positioned strategically to succeed him.
Again, for Gabon, the previous year Mr Bongo when he suffered a stroke during a visit to Saudi Arabia, Brice Laccruche Alihanga, his chief of staff became prominent in managing affairs of government during his long illness and recuperation. But eventually, soon after recovery, the president reasserted control, demoting Mr Laccruche, sacking him and then arresting him over allegations of corruption, which he denied. Meanwhile, Nourredin was installed in the new post where he oversees his father day-in-day-out, and is charged with "transmitting his wishes" to the rest of the government machine, and has a free hand to get involved across the board on his father's behalf.
There are also rumblings on a probable family succession in Cameroon, where a faceless citizens' movement campaigns to promote the public image of Franck Biya, son of the 88-year-old President Paul Biya. The president of Cameroon, Paul Biya has been in power since 1982. While Franck publically indicated that he had nothing to do with the campaign, but nor had he warned the campaigners to abstain from it, or issued an unambiguous rebuff of any ambition to succeed his father. Uganda is witnessing social media campaigns touting General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of the current head of state Yoweri Museveni, as a latent candidate for governing party for the next election of the country, come 2026.
Now, after Chad's President Idriss Déby passed on last month, his son Mahamat, a four-star army general, swiftly emerged as the leader of the interim ruling military council, as last week swore as head of government. And in a dramatic move to console possible unrest in Chad, Mahamat announced this week, seventy-five-year-old Saleh Kebzabo as the new prime minister. Kebzabo was the leader of the opposition party National Union of Democracy and Renewal, and a staunch opposer of Idriss Deby's policies. He contested against Idriss Deby four times in the past for the seat of Chad's presidency.
Some of the reasons heads of states in Africa install or position their sons for succession can be explained by a clear desire to appropriate power to guarantee to some extent any accountability that might be required in order to protect their own interests. Put differently, if there happens to be an association between the length of the period in power and the hereditary succession of power, it is possible with a view to evade, to some extent, any responsibility for accountability that would fall to the father, which is reassured by the presence of the son in charge.
Besides that, "parentocracy" is to be found in 'neo-patrimonialism' according to Bayard, and Bourdieu further said it is "based on the privatization of the state by clan entities that ensure the reproduction of the sons of the ruling elite." Meanwhile, in this process, power will continue to remain the possessions of an individual, then later of a family, which controls multiple allegiances by the redeployment of pretends.
It is also important to mention the shocking role of foreign powers in the dynastic succession of power in Central Africa. In reality, in the name of preserving their interests, certain foreign powers that often aver to themselves the role of giving democratic lessons take part in the scuttling of these same tenets on African soils by endorsing the hereditary transmission of power from father to son. The role of France in Gabon, and now in Chad after the death of Marshal Idriss Deby Itno is quite instructive in this regard.
The history of Africa's traditional arrangement traces back to kingdoms where the norm was a hereditary succession of power. So, in part, this emerging tendency of hereditary transmission of power can be justified by some as gradually manifesting because of the civilizational and cultural foundation of Africa. In fact, the dawn of republics after independence was a profound break with the tradition of kingdoms and chieftaincies that had long existed in Africa. In this practice, a succession of the throne from father to son was not regarded as an anomaly, just a normal or recognized way of power succession.
Thence the budge to republicanism and democracy literally means now that some African states are yet to abandon the principle of hereditary succession of power, which clearly seems to be the antithesis of the principles of democracy and good governance. Africa takes pride in joining the global civilization of transiting to democracy, but at the same time, its leaders are fast drifting back into Africa's traditional system of monarchies. Does the continent suffer from 'multiple personality disorder'?
To guarantee the democratic transference of power in Central Africa and other parts of the continent, it is crucial to encourage the political commitment of the masses to reclaim the State and the role of true sovereignty that is theirs when a system is democratic. This responsibility falls principally on political parties, civil society, the mass media, etc. In addition, the international powers must desist from playing double standards in the construction and consolidation of the democratic process in Africa.
Finally, it is also imperative to work towards strengthening the institutions of power control. This is because dynasties are recognized where institutional checks and balances are deficient or become totally under the control of the political elite who are in government. In this direction, the fight against exacerbating 'communitarianism' and tribalism would be of great interest.
