You are strong. You are calm. You are happy.” I repeated “this to myself over and over as I boarded Cathay Pacific flight 812 from Hong Kong to Boston. I tried to convince myself that I was okay, and that I was fine leaving home and flying back to Andover. As much as I tried to stifle the crippling ache in my chest, the long stretch from January to June loomed over me, and I choked. I struggled to find the reasons why I wanted to return to Andover. At that moment, sitting on my airplane seat, nothing came to mind. When I finally got to my dorm room, I busied myself with unpacking and saying hel- lo to my friends in the dorm, yet somehow the ache in my chest returned with full force, along with the dreaded jet lag.

4D Printing Saves 3D Lives

ANTHONY KIM

LOWLY, A 3D MODEL OF THE Eiffel Tower emerges from liq- Suid resin, and Andover students spring up from their chairs, intrigued by the newly formed replica of the famous landmark. 3D printing has existed since the 1980s, yet it has only recently caught the interest of the public. I have been in love with robotics and technology since I was young; whenever I saw construction supplies like card- board or wooden sticks, I would think, “What can I build with this?” I would then proceed to gather supplementary materials like chopsticks and rubber bands to make catapults and simple ve- hicles. So, when I first encountered the 3D printer at a local library, I was simply overwhelmed by the endless possibili- ties of the objects I could make with these amazing machines. I also clearly remember how excited I was on my re- visit day to visit The Nest, which I had repeatedly read about on the school website and in The Phillipian. After seeing the four 3D printers in person, I was determined to make things that help others the moment I arrived on campus as a new student. In case you are not familiar with the technology, 3D printing works through a process called additive manufacturing, which allows virtual representations of three-dimensional objects to be physically produced. The process is fairly simple: you start with the digital file of the 3D model, and the printer prints it. e.song/the phillipian This simple and innovative method has attracted professionals in many different fields, some of which include art, nology can and will affect our future.

So lift your oily, slobbering head up from your cups of sloppy pig-boy mush, because below I’ve highlighted some of the most integral members of this vast column dedicated to serving you.

Jerome Palunt, 6’8” & 370 lb, Show Low, Ariz.: Jerome was one of the first big names in the industry, and after ten whole years, he’s shown no signs of slowing down. With a pair of real graspers that will make your beef feel well-handled, it’s no wonder he’s in such high demand and working at such volume. In terms of keeping up with your beef consumption, let’s just say that this pro is barely breaking a sweat.

Scorpion, 5’10” & 88 pebbles, Mekenskaya, Russia: Scorpion is relatively new to the industry, and in a young man’s game, he fits all the criteria. Starting at the ripe young age of 18, Scorpion attacked his work with a passion that made waves and turned heads. In his first year alone, he already had developed a repertoire that many older handlers would be hard pressed to match. Handling over 3,000 standard pounds of raw beef in his first year, this promising Leaked!

One thing is apparent, however: this guy knows how to handle. He paper’s Upper Management and, as part of the process, sat for an interview with the appeared quietly, entering a regional competition. He won with such ease and skill current board. The Phillipian’s interview rubric is generally a closely guarded secret, that it was hard for him to not garner attention and offers from all the top firms. but today we present a short except from their clandestine point system. Rather than be tied down by a contract, he went freelance, and hasn’t looked back yet. Securing first place at Nationals, he has cemented himself at the top of the industry, all while maintaining his air of mystery. REPORTING BY NICK DEMETROULAKOS Ed Knight, 74 golf tees & 18 caribbean coconuts, Pound, Wis.: Ed Knight is the scion of one of the oldest handling families in the country. Coming with such a pedigree, a lot was expected of him, and needless to say, “America’s Sweetheart of Beef Handling” is currently one of the most popular rockstars in the industry. Innovative, efficient, with a set of metacarpals that would make Godzil- la — and your local lunch lady — feel inadequate, he is everything and more that could be expected of one with such a lineage. A true pioneer in the industry he changed handling forever, he can only be expected to do more in the future.

Neil, The Phillipian’s faculty advisor, has told me not to do this so many times but screw it, it’s the last issue. My phone number is (646) 468-2988. —CM SPORTS Peace - Reuby Volume CXL | Number 29 January 26, 2018
