![]() As Vision noted repeatedly, Agnes always seemed to show up at exactly the right moment with exactly what Wanda and Vision need. What I’m more intrigued by, however, is that Agnes seemed far more aware of what was happening in Westview than any other resident, and far more game to play along. Vision was unsettled by Agnes breaking the fourth wall of their sitcom lives, but Wanda stayed in character, laughing off Agnes’ behavior. “You want me to hold the babies,” Agnes replied. “I’m sorry?” Wanda replied, still in character. “Uh, do you want me to take that again?” she said to Wanda, and the laugh track suddenly faded into silence - as did the crying babies. Wanda and Vision couldn’t stop the babies from crying, and just when Wanda said, “Maybe we just need some help,” Agnes (Kathryn Hahn) swooped in with what she said are “some tricks up my sleeve.” But when Vision indulged in some sitcom dad anxiety about her picking up the babies, Agnes was thrown. The episode opened with what was for my money the most unsettling moment of the show so far. So are these two halves of the same person? If Wanda’s Not Really in Control…Is Agnes? She seemed genuinely shocked to see her (re-cast) brother standing her doorway this did not seem to be part of her plan.īasically, we seem to be dealing with two Wandas: The first, a frazzled sitcom mom with a bland Midwestern accent who is vaguely aware that things are really off and isn’t sure how or why she got herself into this situation the second, an enormously powerful woman whose Sokovian accent has returned and who appears to be fully aware of what is really happening and why. Most crucially, Wanda insisted to Vision that she did not cause their doorbell to ring just when things were getting intense between them. (Sparky gets his name from a 2016 comic book series about Vision that Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige told Variety is a direct inspiration for “WandaVision” - though in that run, Vision created Sparky out of the brain of a neighbor’s dead dog.) (More on this later.) Wanda was totally thrown by the appearance of Sparky, a dog with no collar - which is to say, not a clear prior resident of Westview - who her sons said just showed up outside their home. ![]() Nine days!)Īlso, Wanda’s powers are not absolute: She wasn’t able to stop her twin babies from crying with magic, and she also didn’t seem to be in control of their rapid aging from infants to 5-year-olds and then to 10-year-olds. (Let’s just pause here for a moment to marvel, heh, at the revelation that everything we’ve seen has unfolded in just nine days. ![]() ![]() in the first place? How did she know Vision’s body was there? And why did she take it all the way to Westview? And the footage he displayed certainly doesn’t tell the whole story: What caused Wanda to storm into S.W.O.R.D. HQ nine days ago struck Monica, and me, as a suspicious sin of omission, given that Hayward never bothered to tell Monica about it before sending her to New Jersey. Hayward’s revelation that Wanda stole Vision’s body from S.W.O.R.D. That pretty well clinched it.Īnd yet there was also a pervasive feeling that we’re still not seeing the full picture here. Then there was the whole Wanda-emerging-from-the-forcefield-and-causing-all-the-S.W.O.R.D.-soliders-to-turn-their-guns-on-Hayward thing, followed by her making-the-force-field-around-Westview-glow-a-menacing-red thing. Later, when Vision zapped Norm (Asif Ali) out of his sitcom stupor, a terrified Norm appeared to echo Monica’s experience: “She’s in my head! Make her stop. Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) said that while she was inside Westview, she could feel Wanda’s voice in her head, which led director Hayward (Josh Stamberg) to declare that Wanda, once thought to be one of many victims, was in fact “the principal victimizer.” ![]() So much of “On a Very Special Episode…” was designed to reinforce the idea that what is happening in Westview is emanating entirely from Wanda. No, Really, Is Wanda the One in Control Here? Plus, super-aging twins, mysteriously reappearing accents, and bulletproof bellbottoms! Let’s get to the biggest burning questions. We’ve jumped into the 1980s, the era of “Family Ties” and “Growing Pains,” but the sitcom trappings are beginning to lose their rigidity, as Wanda’s grip on Westview - and Vision’s dawning awareness of his surroundings - begins to slip. In hindsight, the entire episode was laying the groundwork for a reveal that further cracks open not just this show, but the entire MCU. ![]() ![]() Mecca Specialties – apparel, accessories, jewelry and more.Fraternal Composite Service – composite photos.FindGreek - popular products and vendors. ![]() Deltasig Marketplace – large selection of Deltasig apparel and gifts.The Collegiate Standard – jewelry and gifts.In addition to our featured partners below, you can find more merchandise from our licensed vendors.Ĭheck out Delta Sigma Pi merchandise from our featured partners: Universities can honor graduating students with the highest GPA.ĭelta Sigma Pi merchandise-including clothing, jewelry, accessories, gifts, frames, and more-is a great way to show your Deltasig pride!

The open motto of the Fraternity was inscribed there under the Latin words, "Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter." Prior to 1925, when this was adopted, Phi Gamma Delta used the early representation of the seal: a closed book, upon which were two clasped hands, and above which were the Greek letters, Phi Gamma Delta, respectively perioded, and emanating from such in every direction were sunrays, or rays of light. ![]() ![]() The Fraternity's Official Seal dates to the 1860s and reflects the badge, plus a handshake and book.

It offers the option to brew a full pot, along with a one to four cup setting for a smaller batch. The coffee maker is relatively compact and was easy to set up. You can even adjust the keep warm temperature to ensure it doesn't effect the flavor of the coffee left in the pot. While the default setting automatically shuts off the coffee maker after two hours, you can set it to stay on and keep the pot warm for up to five hours. The carafe is glass with a flip-top lid and rests on a heat plate to effectively keep brewed coffee warm for your preferred amount of time. The coffee brewed on the standard setting has a well-rounded flavor without being too light, and the bold brew will satisfy those who love a more robust cup. The 12-cup coffee maker runs quietly on both the standard and bold settings, producing a full pot in 14 minutes. The Braun BrewSense Coffee Maker brews consistently good coffee at a great price point, making it the best budget coffee maker we tested. Pros: Consistent brewing, marked difference between standard and bold brew settings, small batch option, adjustable keep warm setting to prevent spoiling coffee flavorĬons: Stainless steel model is more expensive, does not come with extra charcoal filters Features: Bold brew, five-hour keep warm setting, pause and pour, one to four cup brew, 24-hour programming.The Hamilton Beach Flex Brew Trio is the ultimate machine for the household that needs options: It can brew a full 12-cup pot of coffee, or you can brew a single cup with either grounds or a pod. The Ninja 12 cup coffee maker is a user-friendly machine with simple-to-operate programming buttons, two brew settings, and even a small batch function.īest multi-use: Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio – see at Amazon With a spiral showerhead design, two brew settings, and a removable water reservoir with a handle, the KitchenAid 12 cup coffee maker utilizes a clever design to produce a well-rounded cup of coffee on a budget.īest programmable: Ninja 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker – see at Amazon The Beautiful by Drew Barrymore 14 cup coffee maker is a stylish option for brewing plenty of coffee with the ability to keep a fresh pot warm for up to four hours.īest under $100: KitchenAid 12-Cup Drip Showerhead Coffee Maker– see at Amazon The Braun BrewSense 12 cup coffee maker brews a standard or bold pot of coffee in under 14 minutes and is near silent.īest under $60: Beautiful by Drew Barrymore 14-Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker – see at Walmart The De’Longhi TrueBrew is an innovative machine, but not one that fully justifies its price.Top picks for the best budget coffee makersīest overall: Braun BrewSense 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker – see at Amazon While neither of them can make a cup of espresso and also require the use of filters, I suspect many will overlook the convenience of the TrueBrew’s grounds-disposal system to save a few hundred bucks. Similarly, the Breville Grind Control Coffee Maker is $329. For instance, the Cuisinart DGB-850W Burr Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe, which has a 4-star rating on Amazon and is Food & Wine’s top pick, is just $229. The price for the TrueBrew is also steep at $600, it’s far more expensive than other highly rated coffee makers with built-in grinders. However, the one area where it fell down was making espresso, which just didn’t measure up to purpose-built espresso machines. Overall, the De’Longhi TrueBrew is a very good coffee maker, delivering consistent results in an easy to use machine. I also found that the machine was easy to clean the center section pops out easily (but not too easily), and the various parts can also be removed and washed. The TrueBrew’s insulated carafe also did an excellent job at keeping coffee warm for several hours after it was brewed. ![]() ![]() ![]() I bet this kid has no problems waking up… Do one thing that you enjoy and that is going to start your day in the right way (stretch, read part of a good book, walk your dog, listen to music, sit in silence for a few minutes).ĭon’t overwhelm yourself.

The International Ice Patrol was founded in 1914 to monitor icebergs and ice and the Atlantic and send the data to ships in the area. There were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers, and some were launched before being full in the confusion.Ī ship called the Carpathia responded to distress signals sent from the Titanic and saved over 700 people. Facilitators Note: Water is the only known non-metallic substance that expands when it freezes its density decreases and it expands approximately 9 by volume.This decreased density allows the solid form of water to float on the liquid form. ![]() The Titanic was designed by Thomas Andrews, who didn’t survive the maiden voyage of the Titanic but did help many passengers into lifeboats. When an iceberg breaks off from a glacier, it is called calving. The iceberg massively damaged the underside of the ship. Unfortunately, the iceberg damaged five compartments. It was thought the ship would stay afloat even if four compartments were filled with water. The Titanic had a safety system featuring 16 watertight compartments. When the bell rang, the crew on the bridge tried to change direction, causing the Titanic to hit the iceberg side on. If an iceberg were seen, the lookout on duty would ring a warning bell. There were six lookouts on the Titanic whose job was to look out for icebergs from the crow’s nest. The Titanic was the first ship to transmit the SOS morse code signal. White Star Line, who owned the Titanic and Cunard. Crew members had to constantly feed the engines with coal to keep them going.Īt the time, there were only two main liner operators. Twenty-nine boilers were needed to keep the engines running. Three huge steam propellers powered the Titanic at the back of the ship. Floating in the blue water, these icebergs emit a sense of quiet power. While some are relatively smooth underneath, most show signs of the break from the glacier and mottled pocks as the ice is slowly melted away into the water. ![]() The top speed of the Titanic was only 4 knots. Friedrich's photographs also present an opportunity to survey the various shapes, sizes, and textures of the icebergs. In the early 1900s, crossing the Atlantic on an ocean liner was the pinnacle of luxurious travel. The iceberg that hit the Titanic was formed from fresh water, but what do you think would be different if you made your iceberg using salty water? Facts about the Titanic How can you work out how much water is displaced by the balloon? This allows it to float.īecause it is salty, seawater is denser than freshwater, meaning ice floats slightly higher in seawater than in our experiment. ![]() So much of an iceberg is underwater because water expands as it freezes, meaning the ice is less dense than the surrounding water. Did you know around 90% of an iceberg is underwater? Is this the same for your iceberg? ![]() ![]() The war demonstrated that death and destruction had not yet been banished from human affairs. Lulled by a century of peace-Europeans had not seen a large-scale war since the defeat of Napoleon in 1815-many observers had come to regard armed conflict as a relic of the past, rendered unthinkable by human progress. World War I caught most people by surprise. When Russia failed to demobilize its forces, the German Kaiser agreed to war. They were obligated by treaty to support Russia and were still bitter over their defeat by Prussia in 1871. Germany sent an ultimatum to France asking it to declare its neutrality in the event of a conflict between Russia and Germany. This move made Germany's leadership fear encirclement by Russia and France. Meanwhile, Russia, fearful of Austrian and German expansion into the Balkans, strongly supported the Serbs and began to mobilize its army. Recognizing that any action it took against Serbia would create an international incident, Austria asked for Germany's diplomatic and military support. When the conflict was over, between 9 and 15 million people had been killed, four powerful European empires had been overthrown, and the seeds of World War II and the Cold War had been planted.Ī complicated system of military alliances transformed the Balkan crisis into a full-scale European war. ![]() The assassination of the archduke triggered a series of events that would lead, five weeks later, to the outbreak of World War I. Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne, has been assassinated along with his wife, at the age of 65, while he was invited to travel to Bosnia in order to observe military manoeuvres and open the state museum in Sarajevo. The dual monarchy wanted to punish Serbia for the assassination and to intimidate other minority groups whose struggles for independence threatened the empire's stability. The assassination provoked outrage in Austria-Hungary. Princip died of mistreatment in an Austrian prison in 1918. ![]() He had received his weapon from a secret society known as the "Black Hand," which was clandestinely controlled by the government of Serbia. Gavrilo Princip, the 19-year-old assassin, was a Bosnian nationalist who opposed the domination of the Balkans by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Within an hour, the Archduke and his wife were dead. As the car came to a halt and tried to turn around, a nervous teenager approached from a coffee house, pulled out a revolver, and shot twice. On June 28, 1914, a car carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the imperial Hapsburg throne, made a wrong turn.

![]() ![]() Scientists must first learn more about how embryonic stem cells develop. Stem cells need much more study before their use can be expanded. New medicines could also be tested on cells made from pluripotent stem cells. Other treatments could target illnesses such as type 1 diabetes, spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. They can do this by growing healthy heart muscle cells in a lab and transplanting them into damaged hearts. For example, one day healthcare providers may be able to treat people with chronic heart disease. Researchers think that stem cells will be used to help create new tissue. Stem cells may help your health in the future in many ways and through many new treatments. This is a blood disorder that causes the body's bone marrow to fail. They may also be used to treat people with conditions such as Fanconi anemia. These help people with cancer make new blood cells after their own hematopoietic stem cells have been killed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. These cells are used in procedures such as bone marrow transplants. Stem cells are immature cells that are able to make other blood cells that mature and function as needed. ![]() Every type of blood cell in the bone marrow starts as a stem cell. These are the blood cell-forming adult stem cells found in bone marrow. ![]() The only stem cells now used to treat disease are hematopoietic stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells don't seem to be different from embryonic stem cells, but scientists have not yet found one that can develop every kind of cell and tissue. Scientists first reported that human stem cells could be changed in this way in 2006. These are adult stem cells that have been changed in a lab to be more like embryonic stem cells. The second type is induced pluripotent stem cells. For example, a stem cell that comes from the liver will only make more liver cells. They are more likely to generate only certain types of cells. There are only small numbers of stem cells in these tissues. There are 2 types of adult stem cells. One type comes from fully developed tissues such as the brain, skin, and bone marrow. This means that they can turn into more than one type of cell.Īdult stem cells. These embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. These result from an in vitro fertilization procedure. The embryonic stem cells used in research today come from unused embryos. They are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.Įmbryonic stem cells. Stem cells are divided into 2 main forms. Researchers believe that stem cell-based therapies may one day be used to treat serious illnesses such as paralysis and Alzheimer disease. In some cases, they can also fix damaged tissues. This can range from muscle cells to brain cells. Stem cells are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types. ![]() |
