“YOU.” 

Seep felt as if the Sandsurge’s hard stare had shot straight into his face. He felt winded from the impact. He wasn’t often put into a position where he was on the back foot, let alone on first entering a room.

“Me?” He managed as she sprinted over to him, drawing her neck up as high as she could to meet him.

“You are the resident engineer, yes?” She tilted one eye at him to peer into the reflection of his lenses.

Seep craned his neck back and tried to keep her stare, feeling bewildered at the hostility seeing as she was the one to invite him over.

“Yes, I mean, I’m not the only one but I— who are you anyway?”

“Cesarie.” She flicked the sail of her tail boisterously, “I am a bio-engineer. I needed to be polite and say hi and ask some questions and all that, good clan you got here. But then again I’m used to working in really cramped, nasty conditions, at least this place has heating. I’ve seen some real blighters when it comes to labs…” 

She began to ramble about her journey over from the Lightning territory. Seep couldn’t quite keep up and let his mind wander, inspecting what she had done with her chamber.

Cesarie’s den pulsed with an organic, ethereal green light. He squinted through his goggles to see delicate glow worms threaded from the cave ceiling, softly wriggling from their silken strands. The slime molds and algae that practically crawled on every surface let off their own glowing hues. There were terrariums and specimen jars lined up along racks and racks of shelving. Illuminated roaches and isopods trundled about in dimly lit habitats, a swarm of fireflies bonked persistently against the glass of their temporary tank.

Her work table was another matter altogether; an unfinished game of chess sat between microscopes, scapels and scientific paraphernalia with which he wasn’t familiar. For a biologist, she kept a lot of brass fittings, bolts and screws about the place. The air smelt green but was tinged with metal polish and lubricant. He’d always appreciated the smell.

In the middle of the chaos was a huge bell jar filled with a soup of green and blue ooze. Or, what he believed was ooze. It certainly seemed lively, it let out a belch of bubbles which popped vigorously. This caught Cesarie’s attention.

She marched over, knocking some spanners and tools onto the floor on the way, and slammed a fist on the worktop.

“SIMMER DOWN.” She barked.

The ooze let out a flatulent ‘glop’ and settled down.

Seep chuckled, he could relate. His own experimental subjects could be just as cheeky.

“This is my prototype.” She grunted, rolling the jar onto its side and tweaking the instruments and strappings attached to it. “I call her ALGEE. Aviator Levitator Green Energy … something something… I’m workin’ on it.”

“Ehh, the acronym’s usually more important than the words used to put it together.” He shrugged, “But uh, what does it mean? What is that thing?”

After bashing a few loose screws into place she heaped the jar onto her back (Seep watched her ‘percussive adjustments’ approvingly, making note to brush up on his own technique.) She pulled the arm straps tight and the jar sat snuggly between her two sails. She placed on an aviator’s cap and pinged the goggles to her forehead.

“Stand back.”

Seep coiled himself back into what little room the lab had for his huge, winding body.

Cesarie yanked a toggle on her strap and the jar hummed and sizzled with light. The glass shook violently and it began to lift of its own accord, pulling her up like a hot air balloon. She hung precariously in the air, her legs kicking and her tail wagging excitedly.

Seep laughed in amazement, “Impressive! And this is the prototype? This could be a paradigm shift in–”

There was a crack and a hiss and a whizz all at once.

Cesarie dropped like a stone and hit the ground with a winded “Oof.”

Cesarie picked up her jar of gooey, glowy ALGEE and juggled it from one paw to another. It must have been hot from the intense chemical reactions. There was a large crack down the size. 

“As I said. Prototype. But one day, this baby’ll fly all the way to the dunes and back. That foreman will be sorry he ever fired me for collecting algal samples on the job…” She began to rant and ramble once again, Seep sat himself down for the long haul.

“Thomas Jefferson in the nineteenth century wrote to his daughter that childbirth was "no more than a jog of the elbow," when his wife had died in childbed, as this daughter was to do two months later. Much more honest was the anxiety evinced by Madame de Sévigné, when her beloved only daughter suffered three pregnancies in the first two years of her marriage, including a severe miscarriage. In a furious letter she warned her son-in-law that "the beauty, the health, the piety and the life of the woman you love can all be destroyed by frequent occurrences of the pain you make her suffer" threatening him, "I shall take your wife from you! Do you imagine I gave her to you so that you might kill her?" Françoise survived this pregnancy, but her mother's fears were not at an end. Immediately after the delivery she dashed off a hasty warning not to rely on breast-feeding to prevent conception:

"if after your periods start again, you as much afarink of making love with M. de Grignan, you may consider yourself already pregnant, and if one of your midwives tells you differently, then your husband has bribed her!"

The position of the husband in this all-too-common situation, caught between the options of lethally selfish sensualist or reluctant celibate, was not a happy one. He would, however, survive his sex life: very many women did not. And as the modern age with its much-vaunted progress and prosperity broke about the ears of women in the West, they had the disconcerting experience of discovering that childbirth became worse, not better; for in one of the decisive power struggles that were to touch all women's lives, men finally won their long fight to take over the management of women in labor. Male attacks on women healers were nothing new —one facet of the witch hunts had been the determination of university-trained male physicians to eliminate the female opposition. But with the advent of drugs, obstetrical forceps, anesthesia and formal medical training, male practitioners were finally able to usurp women's age-old role as birth attendant and present themselves as the chief accoucheur.

Armed with the authority of the expert, the new men had no difficulty putting down the old women, even when they were horribly in the wrong. On his own admission "the great William Smellie," the mold-breaking "Master of British midwifery" when learning his trade once slashed a baby's umbilical cord so clumsily that the child almost bled to death. Smellie informed the suspicious midwife, whom his arrival had displaced, that this was a revolutionary new technique designed to prevent convulsions in the newly born. Privately, though, as he later disclosed, he was never so terrified in all his life.

With the advent of chloroform and disinfectant in the West, medical science began at last to make headway against its own darkest prejudices that the suffering and death of women in childbirth were no more than a "necessary evil" to be seen "even as a blessing of the Gospel," as one leading British gynecologist wrote in 1848. Elsewhere, though, it seemed that nothing could dislodge the fatalistic attitude toward the loss of female life, nor change the habits and customs that promoted those deaths. From India, a British woman surgeon, Dr. Vaughan, sent this despairing report in the last days of the Raj:

On the floor is the woman. With her are one or two dirty old women, their hands begrimed with dirt, their heads alive with vermin... the patient has been in labor for three days, and they cannot get the child out. On inspection, we find the vulva swollen and torn. They tell us, yes, it is a bad case, and they have had to use both feet and hands in their efforts to deliver her... Chloroform is given, and the child extracted with forceps. We are sure to find holly-hock roots which have been pushed up inside the mother, sometimes string and a dirty rag containing quince seeds in the uterus itself... Do not think it is only the poor who suffer like this. I can show you the homes of many Indian men with university degrees whose wives are confined on filthy rags and attended by these bazaar dhais.

With great clarity, Vaughan saw that the root cause of this suffering, infection and death lay not with the dhais who ministered to the women, but in the attitudes of the husbands.”

Two quick points about your food study in fallout

The thing about breeding a mutfuit strain isn't to give the plant itself more resistance to radiation, but to rather give that resistance to the fruit itself so it isn't as toxic to eat (almost all non-cooked food has radiation/toxic properties to it). This is what the scientist has done with all the other "fresh" variants of food in the vault they live in. The wiki doesn't say that for some reason.

The other point is that it is canon that there are absolutely HORRID food preservatives in all processed pre-war food. The sole survivor basically says that the food "expires in never" if you inspect it during the opening sequence of the game.

The science in Fallout is a lot of pop science and isn't really rooted in a lot of like... real life logic. Ionizing radiation breaks down gametes and can damage or halt reproduction in both plants and animals, so for plants to store radiation... doesn't make a lot of sense? Maybe if they're using the radiation as backup energy during times of drought or a lack of nutrients in the soil (kind of like how carnivorous plants eat insects because they grow in nitrogen deficient soil).

I would assume that that radiation would be isolated to a specific part of the plant like in the roots as some kind of tuber, rather than spread through the flesh of the entire plant. However, 210 years post nuclear bombs, most of that radiation would have broken down and attenuated over time anyway. I understand that removing radiation through cooking it is more of a game mechanic to incentivize you to use that cooking mechanic (but you remove radiation by giving food More Radiation, in a different form? wack).

But that is a fair point! I think that would probably be a priority for early farmers to figure out which plants are safe to eat. Kind of a trial and error all over again. Plants that have been domesticated kind of co-evolve with humans over time, so plants and humans who subsist on those plants would have to meet each other halfway.

As for the preservatives... lmao. God. Maybe it's just me but you could not CATCH me eating 200 year old food even if it looked perfectly preserved. That box of sugar bombs is too perfect for me to trust. I guess there is a real life parallel in like, the MRE community? I posted about this a few weeks ago, but someone tracked down and ate an MRE from like WW1 and it was still viable, it just. Didn't taste very good.

Preservatives DO break down over time. It seems to be about 18 to 24 months before the preservatives reach the end of their reasonable doubt. In ideal conditions, if kept cool and dry and sealed, there's a lower chance of fungus and mold growing, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. I'll give it to Fallout though, and assume that they've got a super preservative that keeps everything shelf stable indefinitely, you just wouldn't see me partaking 😳

There is a new episode of the Flash where apparently they're doing a mold inspection instead of just doing air quality testing on their own? Seriously? I know I'm not the only one going O_o at this setup.

Maybe the actual episode will make it work somehow? Time for me to find out.

And we're starting in 2123, so a hundred years from now. STAR Labs is the Flash museum with a statue of Barry out front. I can't tell from the angle of the opening shot but I assume the building's exterior still has not been repaired.

someone is poking around with flashlights, dressed mysteriously and headed for the weapons vault. This is clearly fine and normal.

There's an actual security response. Oh my gosh. I mean, its still ineffective, but wow. STAR Labs is gonna have security one hundred years from now. Finally.

Sorry, I think my sarcasm level may be extra high today, please bear with me.

The intruder escapes through a breach of some kind. And the camera closes in on the date the episode is set, which is foreshadowing the mold inspection going wrong, i guess.

It's weird that this is being sold to us as a mold inspection, though? The inspection certificate with the date on it is specifically having to do with the Department of Energy. Why they need a DOE inspection, I have no idea. Are they finally gonna use the pipeline to generate energy for the city or something?

I should just... watch, I guess.

Barry painting Nora's crib and getting all excited about being a dad is adorable. He's also super happy about getting Iris whatever food she may be craving, in this case ice cream. And then it turns out Iris tracked down a magazine that had once featured Henry Allen on the cover - science and medicine journal - and that's just so sweet of her. Barry has so little left from his parents after his mom's death and his dad's arrest...

This is West-Allen at it's best right here. Barry and Iris taking care of each other and showing how much they love each other. (Proof that when they work, they really work.)

Okay, so the mold inspection is because Barry is over-reacting to the whole wanting to make everything safe for Nora now, now, now. What a mold inspection has to do with the DOE is... *shrugs* I think I'm just gonna have to handwave this connection.

Apparently Khione is headed off to spend time with Carla, who wants to get to know this iteration of her daughter. Khione deserves to make family connections, so I hope this goes well. Carla messed things up with Caitlin, but did make inroads in fixing it, so hopefully she'll accept Khione for herself and get some catharsis over Caitlin and Frost's deaths. Khione is afraid of botching things, because she isn't Caitlin and not being Frost already made things go sour with Blaine. I wonder if we'll actually get to see their coffee meetup or if it'll just be discussed afterwards so we know it went okay.

Anyway, the mold inspector brings friends because asking for an inspection set off code alerts or whatever? I'm calling so much BS. That is not how things work. And since STAR Labs hasn't been operating as an active research lab, it doesn't really matter what else is or isn't up to code.

Bet Barry's regretting letting Chester have the day off now.

Iris shows up to join in the fun and rescue Barry from his bad decisions. And it's becoming more and more clear that these inspectors don't know what the hell they're doing. I mean, the electrician doesn't know what the breaker box is called?

At least Barry and Iris lampshade it.

And the temporal anomaly kicks in, herding everyone back to the speed lab repeatedly where a rather nice grandfather clock has appeared. Ticking loudly and ominously.

Barry - I can run to the future and find out how we fix this and then come back and... fix it. Iris - This seems like a bad idea. Barry - TIME TRAVEL!! What could go wrong? Iris - Everything, but whatever. Just bring me back a snack.

Barry once again jumps to time travel as the answer. *sigh* He never learns, does he?

So I want to like Allegra and Chester's date, but the jokes over scrabble feel forced. No one says 'za' instead of 'pizza'. Allegra's concerns about being found out as a meta are just kinda... not treated seriously before segueing into Chester rambling about how amazing Allegra is and how he's in love with her. Which freaks them both out. There isn't a second of that scene that isn't awkward or uncomfortable.

Back with the main plot, Barry uses the speed lab to get up to time traveling speed and some kind of wave changes Iris' outfit into this pretty blue dress with gold accents. She looks great. Barry's attempt to reach the future fails and watching him smack into a wall is hilarious.

Nice try, Barry. Fix this without cheating.

Looks like everyone else got new outfits too. Barry's is kinda Star Trek TNG/DS9/VOY era uniform looking, with a Flash symbol where the combadge would go. That had to be a deliberate choice. :D

And now Barry's been outed as the Flash to four new people. Secret identity made of swiss cheese.

At least the inspectors reactions are funny. Especially the guy who faints. And after some technobabling, we get the conclusion that one of the inspectors is the time traveling thief from the start of the episode.

My money is on the electrician, but she could also just be like me and sometimes just has words disappear from her vocabulary. I have definitely forgotten words I use every day before because my brain just blanks them out for a bit. But this is a tv show, so it seems more likely she's the culprit than the red herring.

Meanwhile, game day at Cecile's continues to be boring. This is the most awkward game of Catan I've ever seen.

Cecile - I'm gonna escape to the kitchen. Chester - No, actually you stay. I shall flee away, away.

Thankfully we're now back to the main plot and they're all speculating on who the time thief could be. Iris is having fun playing with the tech to clear everyone. And then one of the inspectors got replaced with a statue. Whoops. No closer to escaping yet, and the statue is one of those nude statues with the fig leaf.

Electrician is definitely the bad guy, she accuses Iris.

Inspector Dude #2 - Not Mrs. Flash!

lol, he's adorable.

Allegra's trauma flashbacks to Nash and Esperanza's death... *sniffle*

Show writers baiting me making me think that Cecile is gonna talk about her first marriage that failed... and then she doesn't. Hissss, I want back story, that's more interesting than the Allegra/Chester shilling.

Iris and Barry finally having that frank conversation they pretended to have in the first episode of the season is great. And I'm glad they're having Iris talk so frankly about how uncomfortable being pregnant is for her and how distressing it can be. She doesn't regret it, but the way it messes with her body and brain makes it tough on her in a way Barry can support her through, but not totally understand.

And their talk gives Barry the Eureka moment he needs to figure out who the time thief is.

Hehehe, Mrs. Flash, I love it every time he says that.

Barry - Blatantly making up bullshit about the electrical in the building. Electrician - Uhhhhh O_O I don't know enough to call bullshit because I'm not really an electrician.

Awww, two more inspectors down. :(

Lady Chronos... I can't get over her face. The makeup decisions were... interesting.

Barry - Oooh, I'm a lightning generator. I can power your belt. Lady Chronos - Working with the Flash. Ewwww.

Yay, resetting the time magnet reset the inspectors, this time with the real electrician. And the inspectors don't seem to remember what happened. Probably for the best they don't remember Barry's the Flash.

Khione - I could have told you there's no mold. Barry - ............ *expression says he feels dumb now*

So confirmation we don't get to see Carla and that Khione's coffee meetup with her went well. Carla managed to do what Blaine failed at, by wanting to get to know Khione for herself. Good job Carla.

At this point it seems like they're never gonna pick up on that plot thread with Carla gaining ice powers or her own frosty alter ego, which is a shame. But at least she's in the background trying to do right by Khione.

Allegra tracks down Chester to make things right. If nothing else, though I may not like their ship, I do hope the show will end with them happy.

Vibe-accinos. I'm so glad Cisco has a Jitter's drink. He deserves it.

The ending is more cute, domestic West-Allen.

While not the best episode of the season - either the heist episode with the Rogues or the previous episode focused on Iris and Nia are currently that for me - this was a solid and fun episode. It did much better with the temporal anomaly concept than the season opener and did a much better job of addressing Barry and Iris' different ways of dealing with their current circumstances, giving Iris room to voice her feelings without invalidating her or otherwise kicking the can down the road.

Since we're stuck with the Chester/Allegra ship, even though it's forced to the point of awkwardness at all times... Chester is adorable when he's happy. He's got such a lovely smile. And Allegra does deserve to have a relationship where she loves someone and not have it end with that person dying. I do like that the big loves of her life mentioned prior to Chester are all platonic/familial, making it clear that her non-romantic loves were just as important to her as her current romantic one.

The trailer for the next episode makes it look like the breather episodes are over and we're moving on to the final arc of the show. Bloodwork is back, as is Wally, Dig, Oliver, and the multi-verse.

Barry - *hugs Oliver* Oliver - I'm allergic to feelings, you're giving me hives. Stop it. Barry - *hugs more*

I'm guessing this final arc will have Khione come into her own as a hero? I mean, they haven't done anything that justifies killing Caitlin to create her yet, so they've gotta do that before the season ends. And this is a short season, right?

Finally... Barry's birthday was previously established as being in March, but now they're celebrating it in April from the looks of things in the trailer? *heavy sigh*

Making the Most of Preschool Years: Encouraging Curiosity and Exploration

The preschool years are full of curiosity for children. Young brains are naturally curious. However, the further development of that curiosity depends critically on early education. Children who start preschool come into fresh surroundings, people, and learning experiences that create multiple paths for development. For families, locating a preschool that supports a child's growth becomes crucial. Preschool can improve a child's inherent curiosity and questioning ability, laying the foundation for future learning. Here is how children can make the most of the best preschools in Hingham MA.

The of Play in Education

Preschoolers have an opportunity to spontaneously explore the world around them through play. Children who investigate through play show great engagement in learning. A simple exercise like building blocks, for example, improves problem-solving abilities and also teaches shapes and balance to young children. This kind of encouragement to experiment freely helps them see other angles.

Developing Social Skills through Experience

Interactions with people help develop social skills in life. Preschoolers learn empathy, communication, and teamwork using common activities. Children who participate in cooperative play are statistically more likely to acquire robust social skills. Teachers are quite important here because they gently lead children through activities. Children learn patience and teamwork when working on a basic puzzle together. Social development at this point affects their capacity for constructive interaction with others as they advance in Hingham day care.

Improving Cognitive Skills with Practical Activities

Engaging activities boost cognitive development, and early years are absolutely critical for this development. Strong programs in science, math, and reading allow schools to combine different knowledge and apply it with activities like measuring sand in a sandbox or bug inspection outside in the park, which can spike interest in the workings of the environment. Deeper knowledge results from curiosity. Children start to ask questions when teachers support these kinds of activities.

Creating a Passion for Learning

The basis for lifetime learning is found in preschool. Children in quality preschool programs typically show more excitement for learning in later years. Preschool can make learning a pleasurable experience with attentive methods that focus on every child's particular interests. This path molds their confidence and emotional development and enables children to grow after preschool ends.

About Primrose School of Rockland:

Primrose School of Rockland offers an environment for children to engage in play-based learning and character-building, with activities that spark curiosity and growth at day care Hingham MA. The school emphasizes the social, cognitive, and physical development of children.

Understanding IICRC Mold Certification and Mold Remediation Certification

The IICRC is a non-profit organization that provides standardized training and certification in areas such as cleaning, restoration, and inspection services. Their certifications, including those for mold, are widely recognized in the industry and are a mark of excellence. By obtaining these certifications, professionals demonstrate their expertise in mold management and remediation, which builds credibility and ensures safety and efficiency in their work.

Importance of IICRC Certification in Mold Remediation

Mold remediation is more complex than it might initially seem. Simply scrubbing away visible mold does not remove the underlying spores or prevent future growth. Mold remediation involves a multi-step process to detect, contain, remove, and prevent mold effectively. Without proper training, it’s easy to miss steps that could lead to reoccurrence or expose occupants and workers to harmful mold spores.

IICRC Mold Certification and IICRC Mold Remediation Certification provide the training necessary to conduct mold remediation in a safe and effective manner. These programs teach best practices for handling mold-contaminated materials, understanding different types of mold, and assessing indoor air quality. Certification holders learn about moisture management, containment, ventilation, and proper disposal methods, ensuring a comprehensive approach to mold issues. With the IICRC’s strict adherence to quality and safety standards, certified professionals are well-equipped to provide clients with reliable mold remediation services.

Key Elements of IICRC Mold Certification Courses

IICRC’s certification programs are designed to equip professionals with a deep understanding of the science behind mold and the skills necessary for effective remediation. Here are the key components of the IICRC Mold Certification courses:

Health and Safety: Professionals are trained on the health hazards associated with mold exposure. They learn how to use personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure safe working conditions.

Moisture Detection and Control: Mold thrives in moist environments, so understanding moisture management is crucial. Certification courses teach students how to detect and control moisture sources, which is essential to prevent mold growth.

Containment and Ventilation: Proper containment prevents the spread of mold spores to unaffected areas. Certified professionals learn the techniques for effective containment and air control, which are critical to limiting exposure.

Cleaning and Disposal of Mold-Infested Materials: Mold-contaminated materials need to be removed safely to prevent cross-contamination. IICRC Mold Certification programs cover proper cleaning and disposal techniques to ensure the safe removal of contaminated items.

Documentation and Communication: Professionals are trained on how to document the entire mold remediation process. This ensures clear communication with clients and supports regulatory compliance where applicable.

The IICRC Mold Remediation Certification builds upon the foundational knowledge of mold certification courses and dives deeper into remediation-specific techniques, making it ideal for professionals who want to specialize in mold removal.

Benefits of Holding IICRC Mold Certifications

Certification from the IICRC not only provides technical knowledge but also enhances a professional’s credibility in the eyes of clients and employers. Here are some of the primary benefits:

Increased Employability: Many employers in the cleaning and restoration industry look for IICRC-certified professionals because of the organization’s reputation and standards. Certified professionals are more likely to get hired and may have better opportunities for career advancement.

Enhanced Client Trust: Clients tend to trust professionals with IICRC Mold Certification or IICRC Mold Remediation Certification, as they know the job will be completed according to industry standards and safety protocols.

Better Service Quality: Certified professionals are trained to follow detailed processes, reducing the chances of errors and rework, and improving the quality of mold remediation.

Compliance with Industry Standards: Holding an IICRC certification ensures that a professional is knowledgeable about the latest mold remediation techniques and standards, which can be critical for regulatory compliance, especially in commercial projects.

How to Obtain IICRC Mold Certifications

To obtain an IICRC certification, professionals need to attend approved courses, either in person or online, and pass a certification exam. IICRC-approved schools, such as Zack Academy, offer mold certification and remediation courses that provide the hands-on training and knowledge required to achieve certification.

1. Why Every Home Needs a Deep Clean: Benefits of Soft Washing 💧

The exterior of your home endures weather, dirt, algae, and moss, all of which take a toll over time. Without regular maintenance, surfaces can accumulate grime that not only looks unsightly but can also lead to damage. Soft washing offers a powerful, gentle solution that helps preserve your home’s exterior, making it ideal for Spokane County’s homes.

2. The Soft Washing Science: Safe, Effective Cleaning Solutions 🌿

Soft washing combines low-pressure water with carefully formulated cleaning solutions to remove algae, mold, mildew, moss, and grime safely. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which risks damage, soft washing gently removes contaminants, protecting your home's delicate surfaces.
