When Barrett heard the first news reports about the disaster, he “didn’t think much of it,” he says. “There’s always so much hype around these things.” Then he saw the picture of Unit 1 exploding. “I said, ‘Holy shit. I know exactly what that was.’ I knew they were in deep doo-doo.” When the call came to help out, he didn’t hesitate. “It’s personal for me,” he says. “Japan was the only country that helped us at Three Mile Island. We owe Japan.”

Alison Herman posted a great tweet, likely about this very moment: “WESTWORLD is a homework assignment where the reward for finishing is more homework.” There are moments of great joy and catharsis in this show, but how can you make something by forever asking questions when all catharsis comes in the way we move through our own answers, for good or ill? It’s as if Westworld itself is built on a narrative dare, one of endless resets and stasis. Sometimes, that’s the reason why the show soars. Sometimes, that’s the reason it crashes. And when it crashes, it’s because Westworld can’t seem to believe there are moments when the audience wouldn’t want the weight of more homework.

I find a corner with an outlet for my two chargers, refill my water bottles, and use the bathroom, confident that neither the librarian, the retiree in the armchair, nor the fourth grader and her tutor will steal my board. I return to my station and sit on the floor; the exposed gray brick grabs my sweaty shirt as I lean against the wall. I consider the rest of the route. I double-­check the location of Jim’s Steaks in Philadelphia, my ultimate goal. I email, I stare out the window in contemplation—the idle time that people spend recharging electric cars starts to make sense. There are plenty of constructive ways to fill 90 minutes.

The PackTowel was what we used sailing around Fiji and down to New Zealand recently, and I don't think I could have found a better towel for the job. It dried more than twice as the cotton towels we had aboard and was lightweight enough to bring along on longer hikes ashore in case someone wanted to jump into a stream or the sea to cool off.

Still fashioned in the heart of Tuscany today, the exhaustive Carapelli method of making the best range of Extra Virgin Olive Oils combines age-old knowledge, with contemporary approaches. 

Blacksmith Sean Ahern of Ahern's Anvil says that while the rustic or industrial look is in, "most importantly, the best part of this is that people want ‘handmade’ items. The appreciation of the craftsmanship has definitely come back into the spotlight. It’s really wonderful, it is though the door to creativity has been wedged open to allow for fresh ideas and designs to flow through.” Photo Provided

After getting our grills back into shape, we replaced the soapy water in the bucket and proceeded to scrub down the entire outside of the grill using a household sponge. Avoid using steel wool on your stainless steel grill as that will leave scratches everywhere. It's possible to even scratch your grill using a coarse pad, so be gentle but firm when wiping and scrubbing.

Kenji Matsuzaki has worked in Toshiba’s nuclear technology branch for more than 10 years, and by May 2016, when he was assigned to the team developing a robot to explore inside Unit 3 of Fukushima, he was familiar with the plant’s basic architecture. All six of its reactors are boiling-water reactors, a type designed in the late 1960s and early 1970s and found all over the world, including in the United States. They generate electricity by circulating water through their infernally hot cores, converting it to steam that is used to turn turbine generators. Each reactor has three containers set one inside another like Russian nesting dolls. The smallest container, a steel capsule about the length of a tennis court, is called the reactor pressure vessel. That’s where the nuclear fission reaction takes place, powered by fuel composed of uranium dioxide baked into ceramic pellets. This capsule is enclosed inside a primary containment vessel, a concrete and steel structure shaped like a massive light bulb, designed to capture any radiation that might accidentally escape. The containment vessel in turn is housed inside the reactor building, a concrete and metal rectangle that offers only minimal protection from radiation.

"Our partnership with New Water will provide capital and extensive operational experience in frozen foods R&D and manufacturing for The Perfect Bite Company to continue its growth trajectory," said Teri Valentine. "We look forward to working with them to realize our company's full potential as we expand our team."

“They are being very methodical — too slow, some would say — in making a careful effort to avoid any missteps or nasty surprises,” said David Lochbaum, director of the nuclear safety project at the Union of Concerned Scientists, who was a co-author of a book on the disaster.

For a spray-on option, check out Bare Republic's Mineral SPF 50, which rubs in pretty well right away and dries without the greasy, shellac-like residue that disgraces your skin after applying chemical-based sunscreens, though it does leave its own distinct film. Just remember that this is not the same as your standard chemical spray-on sunscreen: It does require rubbing in to blend and feels sticky for the first few minutes.
