7. Magic Mirror 🪞 / Donut Devotee 🍩

“Uh, yeah,” says Raleigh, surveying the mess of damp drywall, fiberglass, and insulation strewn across what used to be Dr. Mori’s desk. “This is gonna take a while. You probably shouldn’t even be in here, you know.”

Dr. Mori shakes her head, the blue tips of her razor-sharp black bob whispering against the white N95 mask obscuring the lower half of her face. Her arms are folded across her chest, and she’s planted protectively in front of the one corner of her office untouched by disaster. Clustered on a stack of books is an entire animal shelter’s worth of little plastic cat figurines in various positions, some wearing costumes, some wrapped into sushi — he wants to say something about them, but he’s afraid she’ll think he’s making fun of her. She’s piled another stack of thick textbooks onto a folding chair — spines out so Raleigh can see that they’re all robotics-adjacent — and her slim silver laptop is perched at the top in a precarious attempt at a standing desk. A line of small robots and action figures, presumably previously housed on the shelves that got taken out when her ceiling caved in, are lined up on either side of the folding chair like knights ready to do her bidding. It’s honestly kind of an impressive setup, if he ignores the myriad of safety hazards.

“It’s okay,” she says. “I can use this part just fine.”

Raleigh raises an eyebrow. “It’s going to get worse in here before it gets better. I’m gonna have to redo most of the ceiling. And fix that pipe, and the water damage in the wall. Not to mention the wiring.”

Dr. Mori’s unfazed. “That’s fine. I have headphones.”

“Okay,” says Raleigh dubiously. “Up to you. I’m gonna have to come back later today and get some measurements, see what’s going on in there. Will you be here around two?”

She nods.

“All right, well — be careful in here. I dunno the last time the insulation got replaced up there, it’s probably full of asbestos.” He gives her a little salute and goes to step out of the office, but as he’s passing the threshold, she reaches out and taps his arm, drawing her hand back as quickly as if he’d burned her.

“I want a bookshelf.” Her dark eyes are intense over the top of her mask, her eyebrows sharp and precise. “And better wattage in the outlets. And more outlets.”

Stepping carefully over the debris on the floor — she’s wearing what look like military surplus boots with her smart skirt and sweater — she indicates the space behind her desk. “Bookshelf here. Short is okay.” She holds her hand about three feet from the floor. “Outlets here and here. The shelves can stay where they were, but I would like them reinforced.”

Raleigh leans against the doorframe, trying not to smile. “Anything else?”

Dr. Mori considers. “Can you soundproof?” she asks, and Raleigh laughs.

Her eyes curve into a smile above her mask. Raleigh makes some notes, flashes her a thumbs-up. “I’ll see what I can do, Dr. Mori.”

She pauses for just a second too long, then dips her head. “Call me Mako.”

—

Mako lets out a huge breath the moment the facilities guy is gone. She’s also aware that she probably shouldn’t be working in her destroyed cubicle, but she just got her own office and she refuses point-blank to go back to sharing space with the Hansens and pretending she can’t hear the father-son duo sniping back and forth at each other every waking moment. They’ve been in the field a long time and she respects their work, but given the choice between the two of them and the potential asbestos, well, at least she can wear a respirator to shield herself from one of those.

But the facilities guy didn’t blink when she made her requests, even though they technically exceed what could be considered necessary repairs for the caved-in ceiling. She hopes he’s the one who comes back to do the work. She hadn’t expected him to be cute, even though she really doesn’t have time to deal with him being cute. But strong and soft is an easy way to her heart, and if he has to be in her space for the next couple of weeks, well, she might as well enjoy it.

Her last lecture of the day ends at quarter of two, and she hurries back to her office afterward, unwilling to miss her chance to supervise any remodeling plans. The Hansens have a whole wall of bookshelves in their office. Mako has resorted to piling her books on the floor behind her desk and using them as auxiliary shelf space.

She opens her laptop at her makeshift desk and tries to look busy when the guy shows up. He’s right on time, which she appreciates, and he knocks before coming in, even though her door is open.

“Hey,” he says. He’s got a respirator around his neck, which makes her smile a little. “All right, I ran everything by my supervisor and it should be all right. I really emphasized how much your stuff had been ruined, you know, your bookshelves and all. And how the water got into some of your outlets, so those’ll need to be replaced. Might even have to add a few, just to be safe.” He grins, shoves his hands into his pockets. “You mind if I poke around? I’ll stay out of your way, I promise.”

“No, that’s fine,” she says, closing her laptop. “I was actually thinking about going to the cafe across the street. Would you like anything? My treat.”

“Oh, you don’t have to —” he starts, but Mako’s eyebrows must say she’s not taking no for an answer because he backtracks, “Uh, yeah, a tea would be great, actually. Green, hot, no milk or sugar. Thanks.”

She repeats it back to him and pulls her coat off the back of the folding chair. “I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name.”

He lifts his chin and smiles. “Raleigh.”

“Raleigh,” she echoes. “I’ll be right back.”

“Take your time,” he says, pulling the respirator over his nose and mouth. “This is gonna take a while.”

Mako is categorically incapable of taking her time when she’s excited; efficiency is both her blessing and her curse. She crosses the street to the cafe at a light jog, frightens everyone in line with her because she’s still wearing her own respirator, and has to repeat her order three times because she’s speaking too quickly. One green tea, hot, no milk or sugar. One matcha latte, hot, with oat milk and strawberry syrup. And six of the doughnuts on display: roasted cherry, brown butter passion fruit, chocolate sprinkle, vanilla cardamom, lychee rose, and chai apple cider.

Raleigh’s up on a ladder, a toolbox sitting open at its base, when she gets back, and he’s reaching up into the crumbling ceiling, a headlamp on his hard hat beaming into the detritus. He’s several inches taller than Mako even without the ladder, sturdily built, and she thinks the green cargo pants he’s wearing shouldn’t do nearly as much for his backside and legs as they do. His gray t-shirt rides up as he raises his arms, and Mako nearly drops both teas and the doughnut box at the bit of stomach he’s inadvertently revealed. His midsection is heavily scarred, gnarled ribbons of raised tissue disappearing up toward his ribcage, and a soft roll of belly sits precariously over his belt, like just the slightest bit more might tip it into sagging.

Mako is so, so glad that she’s still got the respirator on.

Biting her tongue, she drags in a chair from the department’s kitchenette and sets down both teas and the doughnuts out of harm’s way. Then she opens her laptop back up and stares at the screen, unseeing, the afterimage of Raleigh’s pudgy, torn-up torso burned into her vision.

Finally he hops down from the ladder and dusts off his hands, doffs his mask around his neck. “It’s bad up there,” he confirms. “Probably a couple weeks’ worth of work, at least.”

Mako nods slowly, lowering her own mask to sip her latte. “Okay. I can handle that.”

Raleigh pops the lid off his tea and leans against the wall. He shifts the cup to his right hand and slowly moves his left shoulder in small circles.

Mako gestures to the box sitting on the chair. “Please,” she says. “Help yourself. It’s my thank-you for honoring all of my requests.”

He sets his tea down and opens the box. Mako asked the barista to write the names of each flavor on the top so she wouldn’t have to stumble through them all one more time, and Raleigh takes his time deciding.

“I’m sorry if this is too forward,” he says finally, and it’s not at all what Mako is expecting. She inhales sharply. “But you have excellent taste in doughnuts.”

Oh. She exhales in a shaky laugh. “Thank you. Theirs are the best I’ve had. Have as many as you’d like; I’ll put the rest in the kitchen.”

“Is there one in particular I should save for you?”

She nods and points to the lychee rose. “Perfect,” says Raleigh, taking the brown butter passion fruit. “Rose tastes like soap to me, but, you know, I respect it. Takes all kinds.”

She surreptitiously watches him eat the doughnut over the rim of her cup. Then she fires her laptop back up and watches him dip back into her periphery for another. Twenty long minutes of staring at her lines of code in R and then he’s back again, and finally she gives in to the instinct to turn and look at him.

“Sorry,” he says sheepishly, and it tugs at something deep and tender inside her. “Am I distracting you? I’m realizing now that I missed lunch.”

“Don’t worry,” she manages. “I got them for you.”

—

Raleigh comes back every day. He’s easygoing and affable, and Mako knows for sure he’s won her over when he steps in one day with his ladder, toolbox, and kneepads and says, “What’s up with the Australian meathead?”

Mako laughs before she can stop herself. “Junior or senior?”

He makes a face. “There’s two?”

As quietly as she can, she closes her office door. “I know you have work to do,” she says. “But this is crucial information. Those are the Hansens, and it is vital that you do not make me go back to sharing their office.”

Raleigh scoffs. “I hear you. Crocodile Dundee out there just made a big show of muscling his way out of the elevator in front of me. Didn’t hold a single door either. Man, you can see that I’m carrying shit.” He shakes his head. “Don’t you worry. You’ll lose this office over my dead body.”

She smiles. “Thank you. Please, let me offer you a token of my gratitude.”

Doughnuts again. Raleigh eats four.

—

Mako finds out what kind of green tea Raleigh likes, buys a box, and assigns him one of the random university-branded mugs in the kitchenette. She vents to him after a department meeting in which Herc — ostensibly an impartial party, as department head — backs up Chuck’s insistence on keeping his programming course in MatLab rather than R, even though MatLab is expensive and slightly old-fashioned while R is open-source and far more accessible to students. But of course, Herc taught all of his coding in MatLab when he came up through this program and god forbid anything change, ever! God forbid anything inconvenience the Hansens!

Raleigh listens with his head in her ceiling as he fiddles with the pipes, and when she stops to draw breath, he says, “Shouldn’t you all be encouraging open-source stuff anyway? Isn’t that, like, the future?”

“Yes!” Mako practically bellows. “But of course that’s too easy! There’s no gatekeeping, so clearly it’s unsuperior.” She realizes too late that it’s the wrong word, then has the worse realization that she waited a beat out of habit for someone to correct her. Raleigh doesn’t. “I mean inferior,” she continues with renewed zeal. “How dare anyone be able to access this information without a legacy in this program for the last forty years!”

Raleigh descends his ladder and winces. There’s an indistinct shape under the chest of his t-shirt that she’s spent days puzzling out — a binder? some kind of medical port? a particularly traumatic continuation of his scarring? — but she sees now, as he rolls back his t-shirt sleeve to adjust it, that he’s wearing a brace around his left shoulder, fastened across his sternum.

“I have aspirin,” she says. “If you need some.”

“That would be great,” says Raleigh, relief smoothing his face. She hands him the bottle from her backpack and he shakes a few into his hand, washing them down with a gulp of tea. She went too late to the cafe today, delayed by the department meeting, and had to get muffins rather than doughnuts. Raleigh doesn’t seem bothered. He went for the miso white chocolate chip first, then the ube, and now he peels the wrapper from the double chocolate matcha. “That’s bullshit,” he says, covering his mouth as he chews. “Must be exhausting to be so obsessed with being right.”

Mako nods vigorously. “Thank you. I don’t understand it.”

“Yeah, that’s because you seem like a reasonable person.” He balls up the muffin wrapper and shoots it across the room into her wastebasket, missing it by inches. She golf-claps politely anyway, and he flashes her a sheepish grin. As he bends to retrieve it, he braces a hand against his belly where Mako knows it almost pooches out over his belt, and he stifles a burp as he straightens up. “Sorry. Getting a little too used to these pastries.”

If Mako ever wins a Nobel Prize or something, the first entity she thanks in her speech will be her box of N95s. She owes her entire working relationship with Raleigh to being able to hide her furious blushing behind them. “I can stop,” she offers. “I just wanted to make sure you knew I appreciated your work.”

“Oh, I won’t ask you to stop,” says Raleigh with a laugh. He palms his belly beneath his t-shirt. “Even if I probably should. By the time I finish up in here I’m not going to fit through those ceiling tiles.”

On one hand, it’s probably a good thing Mako has to leave for an afternoon of meetings so she doesn’t combust. On the other, she processes absolutely none of what is said to her for the next few hours. Her mind is solely on Raleigh, adding up the various baked goods she’s brought him and applying them to his waistline with the concentration she usually reserves for coding. In the notebook where she draws designs and diagrams for new projects, she sketches the shape of his body, the jags of his fluffy blond hair, the N95 hanging around his neck, the folds of his utility pants, the forking bolts of scar tissue reaching up to his chest.

While she’s out, Raleigh builds her a bookshelf that spans an entire wall.

—

Her office is coming together. The ceiling is once again intact, not a hint of water damage remaining. Raleigh spent the last few days drilling while Mako sat contentedly in the corner with the giant gaming headphones one of her mentors, Dr. Choi, sent her for the holidays a few years ago. The vague screech of metal on drywall that filters through her shibuya-kei playlist is a welcome reminder of Raleigh’s continued presence. There are three more outlets than she started with, all with a higher output capacity than she probably needs. Now it’s just the finishing touches that are left, and she should be glad for that. A few more days and she’ll have her space back entirely. Her office will be hers again, new and improved.

But she’s not ready to lose Raleigh.

The time he spends in her office grows shorter and shorter, and she hopes against hope that he’s intentionally drawing it out. She keeps the baked goods coming; today she got a half dozen doughnuts free after filling up her punch card. She tells Raleigh to take the rest when he goes; there are too many for just her and she refuses to share with the Hansens. Raleigh tells her he can share them with his team. She thinks they both know he won’t.

Because Raleigh has spent a fair bit of time painting the new walls and ceiling this week, and Mako’s been gathering data every time he reaches above his head with the roller. His belly pooch has reached its tipping point, rolling an inch or two over his belt. She can see the shape of his stomach through his t-shirts now, can see the shadow of his navel and the push of his flesh against the fabric. He keeps tugging his shirts down, and Mako sits on her hands and pretends not to see and pretends not to know how this could have possibly happened.

And then one day he declares that he’s done, and he gives Mako a sad little smile and tells her he hopes he’ll see her around campus sometime, and he scrawls his number on a sticky note in case she needs anything else from facilities.

She tries to enjoy being alone in her office, she really does. She sets up her cat figurines around her new computer monitor and arranges her books on the new shelving. She returns her robots to their place of honor above her desk. And then she picks up the phone.

“Hey,” says Raleigh when he picks up. She thinks she can detect a thread of delight in his voice. “What’s up?”

“It’s all the new outlets,” she says. “They work fine, I’m very happy with them. But I was wondering if you have one of those mats I could put over all the wires so no one trips.”

“No problem,” says Raleigh. She thinks he’s smiling. “I’ll come by later and drop one off.”

The next day Mako’s phone rings just as she’s brewing her morning tea. “Hello?”

“Hey, it’s Raleigh. I think I might have left some tools in your ceiling. Okay if I come up and check?”

Mako’s heart backflips. “Yes. If you wait half an hour I’ll have doughnuts to give you.”

Raleigh waits half an hour. There’s nothing in the ceiling.

“I could use an ethernet cable,” she says as his mouth is full of roasted cherry. “Just in case. Sometimes the Wi-Fi is spotty up here.”

“You got it,” he says, and he comes back the next day with an ethernet cable.

“Hey,” he says, leaning in the doorway with his hands in his pockets as she carefully coils the cable and stores it in her desk drawer. “Weird question. I heard you on the phone one day while I was up here with my head in the ceiling — you speak Japanese, right?”

She nods.

“Well, here’s the thing,” says Raleigh. “I’m actually starting a Japanese class soon, and I could use a conversation partner, if you have time.”

“That’s lucky,” says Mako. “I could use a lunch partner.”

“Yeah,” says Raleigh. His smile spreads all the way across her new office like sunlight. “That is lucky.”

Nail Technician Nail Extension Methods: Understanding different methods of nail extensions.

Understanding different methods of nail extensions is crucial for nail technicians to offer a variety of options to their clients. Here are some common nail extension methods:

1. Acrylic Extensions:

Acrylic extensions involve applying a combination of liquid monomer and powdered polymer to create a durable and long-lasting artificial nail.

The nail technician applies the acrylic mixture onto the natural nail or a nail form, shaping and sculpting it to the desired length and shape.

Acrylic extensions can be customized with various colors, designs, and finishes.

2. Gel Extensions:

Gel extensions are created by applying a gel product directly onto the natural nail or a nail form, which is then cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden.

The gel is usually applied in several layers, building up the desired length and shape.

Gel extensions provide a more flexible and natural-looking result compared to acrylic extensions.

3. Fiberglass or Silk Wrap Extensions:

Fiberglass or silk wrap extensions involve using a thin, flexible material (fiberglass or silk) to reinforce and extend the natural nail.

The material is applied using an adhesive or resin, providing added strength and support.

This method is suitable for clients who prefer a more natural-looking extension.

4. Polygel Extensions:

Polygel extensions combine the best qualities of acrylic and gel systems.

Polygel is a hybrid product that comes in a tube, which the nail technician dispenses onto the natural nail or nail form.

It requires a special slip solution to shape and sculpt the extension before curing it under a UV or LED lamp.

Polygel extensions offer a lightweight and durable option with excellent flexibility.

5. Press-On Nail Extensions:

Press-on nail extensions are pre-made artificial nails that come in various sizes and designs.

These nails typically have adhesive tabs or glue on the back, allowing them to be easily applied and removed.

Press-on extensions are a convenient and temporary option for clients who want a quick nail enhancement without the commitment.

6. Nail Tips and Overlay:

Nail tips are pre-formed plastic extensions that are applied to the natural nail to add length.

The tips are glued to the natural nail, trimmed to the desired length, and then overlaid with acrylic, gel, or another overlay product.

This method is popular for clients who want to extend the length of their nails without sculpting or building from scratch.

It's essential to stay updated yournailsupplier with the latest techniques and trends in nail extension methods and choose the method that best suits your client's preferences and needs. Proper application techniques and adherence to hygiene and safety protocols are crucial for providing high-quality nail extensions.

Unsaturated Polyester Resin Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

Unsaturated Polyester Resin prices are widely used in various industries due to their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They are commonly used in applications such as fiberglass reinforced plastics, automotive parts, construction materials, and marine products. The price of unsaturated polyester resins is influenced by a combination of factors, including raw material costs, supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical issues, and market trends. As UPR is produced through the polymerization of unsaturated acids with alcohols, the prices of key raw materials like styrene and ethylene glycol play a significant role in determining the overall cost of the resin.

The price of unsaturated polyester resins has seen fluctuations over the years, primarily driven by changes in the costs of raw materials. Styrene, a key component in the production of UPR, is derived from petroleum, meaning that its price is closely tied to the global oil market. When oil prices rise, the cost of styrene increases, which in turn drives up the production cost of unsaturated polyester resins. Additionally, fluctuations in the prices of ethylene glycol, another key raw material, and other feedstocks, such as maleic anhydride, can have a similar impact on UPR prices.

Get Real Time Prices for Unsaturated Polyester Resin: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/unsaturated-polyester-resin-1563

The demand for unsaturated polyester resins also plays a critical role in determining their price. As industries such as construction, automotive, and marine experience growth, the demand for UPR increases, which can lead to higher prices due to supply-demand imbalances. Conversely, during periods of economic downturn or when demand decreases in key sectors, the price of unsaturated polyester resins may decrease. The rise of new technologies and innovation in the production of UPR can also contribute to shifts in pricing, as manufacturers may find new, more efficient ways to produce resins or substitute materials that could affect the market dynamics.

Geopolitical factors and global trade policies are also significant influencers of UPR prices. For instance, trade tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and transportation costs can increase the cost of raw materials and finished products, leading to price increases in unsaturated polyester resins. This is particularly relevant in today’s globalized economy, where the supply chains for chemicals and resins are interconnected across multiple countries. Changes in government regulations, particularly those related to environmental policies and emissions standards, can also impact UPR production and pricing. Manufacturers may face increased production costs to meet these new regulations, and these costs are often passed on to consumers.

Another factor that impacts the pricing of unsaturated polyester resins is the competition in the global market. As the demand for these resins grows, new manufacturers and suppliers enter the market, leading to an increase in competition. This can result in price adjustments as companies try to remain competitive. However, the presence of dominant suppliers with established market shares can also stabilize prices, preventing sharp fluctuations. Furthermore, raw material shortages or supply disruptions from major producers can create scarcity, further driving up the price of unsaturated polyester resins.

In addition to raw materials and market dynamics, the global production capacity and supply chain efficiency of UPR manufacturers can influence prices. When manufacturers face supply chain issues, such as delays in shipping or shortages in materials, the production of unsaturated polyester resins may slow down, leading to an increase in prices. On the other hand, when there is an oversupply of resins, or when production technologies improve, prices can stabilize or even decrease.

The growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives in various industries has also contributed to shifts in UPR pricing. Many manufacturers are exploring greener production methods or offering bio-based resins, which can be more expensive to produce. These eco-friendly alternatives often come with a higher production cost, which is reflected in the price of the final product. As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor for consumers, manufacturers may need to adapt their production processes, resulting in price adjustments in the unsaturated polyester resin market.

It is also important to note that the price of unsaturated polyester resins can vary significantly depending on geographical regions. Regional differences in production costs, such as labor and energy prices, can cause price discrepancies between countries. Additionally, factors such as local demand, infrastructure, and the presence of key industries that rely on UPR, such as construction and automotive manufacturing, can influence how much consumers pay for these resins.

Market trends are another key component in understanding the price fluctuations of unsaturated polyester resins. Over the years, UPR prices have been subject to cyclical changes based on economic cycles, technological advancements, and shifting consumer preferences. In periods of rapid economic growth, the demand for UPR tends to rise, pushing prices higher. Conversely, during recessions or periods of slow economic growth, prices may decrease as demand for products using UPR drops.

Looking ahead, the future price trends for unsaturated polyester resins will be influenced by ongoing global factors such as oil price fluctuations, the shift toward more sustainable production practices, and the demand from emerging markets. While certain regions continue to see growing demand, especially from industries like construction and automotive, others may experience slower growth, resulting in price stabilization or even a slight reduction. Advances in resin technologies and the adoption of alternative raw materials will also shape future pricing, as manufacturers seek more efficient, lower-cost methods of production.

In conclusion, the price of unsaturated polyester resins is determined by a range of factors, including the costs of raw materials, supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and technological advancements. As industries that rely on UPR continue to grow and evolve, pricing trends will shift accordingly. Manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers must remain aware of these factors to understand the fluctuating costs of unsaturated polyester resins and how they may impact their industries and business operations.
