Dana is the founder of herdesk and Positive Equation. Herdesk is a responsibly-made desk designed by and for women, built in the U.S. Prior to COVID, Dana was using a cheaply-made desk that came broken. She found there was no functionality besides setting things on the top. When searching for a better solution that was designed by a female entrepreneur + made in the U.S. + was beautifully designed and functional, she couldn't find anything. So, she decided to create a new kind of desk - herdesk.
You can find Dana and her desk on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and online.
Barbie the welder is an American metal sculptor. She grew up in New York, learning from her parents the art of being able to make or fix something yourself. She started her career in welding after finding inspiration from the film Cast Away. Barbie started her welding career working for a manufacturer as a sheet metal fabricator and welder. After working there for five years, she quit to start working as an independent artist. She really found her niche through demonstrations and exhibitions at chainsaw sculpture events. Now she has produced sculptures for a number of significant clients, and runs welding exhibitions at trade fairs.
You can follow along with Barbie on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and her website.
Alicia has been making since she can remember, and welding since she was about 10. When an event took her out of the more traditional university for a while, at the suggestion of family, she took a welding class to keep her hands busy and continue learning. From there she was recruited for her skills into the welding industry. Now, she works with her family's fabrication business welding by day and making more custom art pieces by night.

Students come up with some pretty creative excuses for turning in their homework late. One student explained to his teacher that they wanted to wait until they were older and therefore wiser, so they would be able to do a better job. Another explained that he was aware that teachers are overworked and underpaid, and having to grade more assignments just added to the problem. I guess he felt he was helping out. What’s a word for telling artful lies in a convincing way? Mendaciloquence.
Of course, there are the usual excuses like “the dog ate my homework” or “my printer wouldn’t work”, but one of the more creative explanations given to a teacher was that "the police cut power to the neighborhood to carry out a drug bust, so I couldn’t use my computer." What’s a word for a comical fib? A skiddledinger!
