Q
Q: Did Cary Elwes and
Mandy Patinkin use stunt
doubles in The Princess
Bride’s fencing scene?
—Tim H., Los Angeles
A: They didn’t! To make the
amazingly ambidextrous
duel believable, director
Rob Reiner asked the actors to learn fencing. “I
trained for two months!”
Elwes says. And they even
mastered each other’s
moves. “I had to learn
right- and left-handed for
my part, and right- and
left-handed for Mandy’s.”

McBride, 48, says. With her
new cookbook, Around the
Table, the country singer
is acting on her second

Cristela? —Erin H., Virginia
Beach
A: Before she cracked

Standing or starred in a
self-titled sitcom, Cristela
Alonzo, 35, was raised in
an abandoned diner. “I
think if my mom hadn’t
worked so much, she probably would’ve squashed my
dream earlier,” she says. “I
always thought growing up

The Brady home
Q: If the Brady Bunch

A: The famed home from
the beloved sitcom was
put on the market for
$2 million in 2008, with
a mortgage of almost
$10,000 per month. That’s
a lot of cash for a family of
eight (with a live-in nanny
to boot!). Mike Brady’s
architect salary of $75,000
wouldn’t come close to
paying for the split-level,
which is located along the
Los Angeles River in the
San Fernando Valley.

Because you never stop trying to keep them safe.
My mother says it’s dangerous to use earphones

Mom is right. Earphones
make the music primary
in your auditory attention.
By contrast, a loud radio
causes interference with
outside sounds. The latter isn’t safe either, but
it’s better. And if you really
believe they’re the same,
you wouldn’t argue for earphones, would you? Obviously, you do think they’re
different! Anyway, unrelated sensorial input that occupies part of your auditory

Like a lot of kids her age, 10-year-old Anastasia Rivas has energy to burn, playing softball
and cheerleading and wrestling with her little brother at home in North Bergen, N.J. And
unlike a lot of her peers, she also likes to help out around the house—carrying the groceries in after a supermarket trip, for instance. All those activities and much more have
recently become a lot easier, because Anastasia now has a left hand—albeit one made
Anastasia was born with amniotic
out of plastic, elastic cords, and stainless-steel hardware.
band syndrome, in which strands of amniotic membrane get attached to and tangled up with
the fetus; the condition leads to congenital abnormalities. In Anastasia’s case, her left arm ends
in a tiny, partial palm and buttonlike buds of fingers. A standard prosthesis could run upward of
$60,000, and a fast-growing kid like her could outgrow it every six to eight months, creating
astronomical expenses. As a result, “traditional prostheses weren’t an avenue that we considered for Anastasia at this stage of her life,” says Wanda Oliveras, Anastasia’s grandmother. But
then Oliveras saw a story on her Facebook news feed about a prosthesis that can be cheaply
produced and repaired, called a Robohand. “We couldn’t contain our excitement,” says Oliveras.
“We thought we could finally get a prosthetic device that could allow Anastasia to use fingers to
pick up and grab things.” Anastasia’s new hand (she requested it in bright blue, in homage to her
stepfather’s favorite football team, the New York Giants) ran just $2,000, and it can be replaced
at a fraction of that cost. How is this possible? Because Anastasia’s hand is created with a 3-D
printer, which can build a three-dimensional object by laying down ultrathin layers of material,
one at a time. Her hand is one of about 200 such prostheses that have been printed using a design

South African carpenter who
lost four fingers in a circular
saw accident. Ty Esham, a
hand therapist in Decatur, Ga.,
who studied under Van As, is
the crafter of Anastasia’s
Robohand, and she can
cheaply produce most of its
plastic components—the digits, the block of knuckles, the
wrist hinge—with her desktop
3-D printer, the MakerBot
Replicator 2.
Though the technology
behind 3-D printing has been
around since the 1980s, only
in the past couple of years has
it become possible to re-create
more commonly found objects of everyday life. The first
3-D-printed book jacket (for
Chang-rae Lee’s best seller On
Such a Full Sea) could be found
on bookshelves, and 3-Dprinted custom toys, jewelry,
or iPhone cases can be purchased online. There’s now
even a DIY aspect of 3-D
printing: Thousands of digital
designs are available on
Thingiverse.com, where
anyone can download the
blueprint to print out objects
from chess pieces to napkin
rings to World of Warcraft
characters.
The technology has the
potential to alter—even revolutionize—dozens of industries, from small-batch manufacturing to aerospace
engineering, from prosthetics
to reconstructive surgery and
beyond. Within a decade,
surgeons might even use 3-D
printing to build organs for
transplants and to harvest new
nerve cells.

America’s Favorite Coin Source
A sweet aroma is
always waf ting
around the MakerBot store in New York’s SoHo
neighborhood. The scent emanates from the humming printers
themselves, which use not ink but
spools of polylactic acid (PLA)
filament, a bioplastic derived from
corn. “We’ll have classes here on a
Saturday morning with machines
running, and people will say, ‘It
smells like waffles,’ ” says Jenifer
Howard, MakerBot’s PR director.
What exactly are those syrupscented machines doing? Whether
it’s happening at the industrial
level, in a medical lab, or on a desktop, 3-D printing follows the same
process. It starts with a blueprint
created in a 3-D digital modeling
program. Taking instructions from
those digital files, the 3-D printer
builds the object by laying down
one superthin layer at a time of the
material at hand, which could be
anything from metal to plastic,
ceramics to food purees to human
cells. With MakerBot’s desktop
3-D printers, the PLA filament is
spooled like cable in the back of
the machine and fed into the
machine’s extruder, which heats up
the material to make it pliable and
passes it through a tiny hole to
“draw” the object, layer by layer,
which can take anywhere from a
few hours to a couple of days.
Three-dimensional printing
originated in the mid-1980s with
Charles Hull, inventor of a layerby-layer manufacturing process
he called stereolithography, which
could be used for rapid prototyping and for small-batch production of specialized parts. Since
then, the technology has been a
mainstay of fields such as aerospace and automotive engineering, but it wasn’t until MakerBot
arrived on the scene in 2009 that
the notion of personal 3-D
printing gained a foothold, along
with the emergence of Thingiverse and, just this past summer,
the opening of Amazon’s 3-D
printing store.
In fact, MakerBot has become
one of the most important players
in the field, thanks to its relatively
low-cost desktop printers (Ty
Esham’s version costs under
$2,000, compared to industrial
models that can run $100,000 or
more) and the passion of MakerBot’s CEO and cofounder, Bre
Pettis. In February at the Univer-

should I take vItamIn d, and how
much do I need?

Americans spend billions on dietary supplements
every year—but it’s easy to get confused about
which are most effective and how to take them safely.
Here’s an A to zinc guide to help you decide.
No matter where you live in the
U.S., from November through
March it’s nearly impossible to
produce sufficient vitamin D from
the amount of sunlight your skin
is exposed to. And recent studies suggest that low levels of
this vitamin may increase your
risk for diabetes, high blood
pressure, and certain forms of
cancer, among other serious
conditions. So it’s a good idea to
take a supplement during these
months, says Julie Upton, R.D.,
cofounder of Appetite for Health.
While the Recommended Dietary
Allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is
600 IU per day for adults (and 800
IU if you’re over 70), many experts
believe that to get the full health
benefits of vitamin D, you need
1,000 to 2,000 IU a day. (The safe
upper limit for adults is 4,000 IU
per day.)
could takIng Iron supplements gIve me more energy even
If I’m not anemIc?
“Iron supplements may help if
you have less-than-optimal blood
levels of iron, even if they’re not
low enough to classify you as
anemic,” says Upton. But she adds
that low energy often has more to
do with caloric intake, sleep patterns, and the quality of the foods
in your diet. Translation: Those
chocolate chip cookies may make
for a tasty snack, but the resulting
blood sugar crash will leave you
feeling drained.

ARE THERE ANY SUPPLEMENTS THAT CAN HELP WITH DEPRESSION?
“There’s some evidence that omega-3s can reduce depressive symptoms, especially in women,” says Elisa Zied, R.D.N., author of Younger
Next Week. The herbal remedy St. John’s Wort is also thought to help
relieve symptoms, but recent studies have had mixed results. If you want
to give St. John’s Wort a try, see your doctor ﬁrst. Research shows the
herb can interact negatively with some prescription medications, including blood thinners and birth control pills.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RECOMMENDED
DIETARY ALLOWANCE (RDA) AND
DAILY VALUE (DV)?
RDAs are the amounts of vitamins
or nutrients that healthy people
should get each day. The suggested intakes are developed by
the Institute of Medicine and vary
by age, gender, and whether a
woman is pregnant or breastfeeding. DVs, which are set by the FDA,
are listed on food and supplement
labels. They tell you how much of
a vitamin or nutrient one serving
provides in the context of a daily
diet. Unlike RDAs, there is just DV
for each nutrient, based on all people age 4 or older. DVs are listed as
a percentage to help consumers
compare products. “If a supplement provides 20 or 30 percent of a
nutrient per serving, you know it’s
a high source compared to one that
offers 5 percent or less,” says Zied.
Safe Storage
3 rules to follow
1
Move them out
of the cabinet.
Many people store
supplements in kitchen or
bathroom cabinets. But
the moist environment in
these rooms can decrease
pills’ shelf life and quality.
The same goes for a
checked suitcase when
you’re traveling.
2
Don’t mix pills.
After a few days, storing
pills together can cause
them to degrade.
3
Replace when needed.
Don’t take pills after
the expiration date, and
toss vitamins if they
develop brown spots—it
means they’ve lost
their nutritional value.

CAN VITAMIN C REALLY HELP
WARD OFF A COLD? WHAT ABOUT
ECHINACEA OR ZINC?
Lots of people swear by taking
vitamin C and echinacea when
they feel they’re getting sick, but
recent studies indicate there’s no
strong evidence to support using
either one. Zinc, on the other hand,
is backed by science. “Research
suggests that if you start taking
zinc within 24 hours of the onset of
symptoms, it may help reduce the
duration of your cold,” says Upton.
Experts recommend zinc lozenges
rather than nasal sprays, since the
latter have been shown to interfere
with your sense of smell.
Before You
Y Pop
That Pill …
• Always consult your doctor
or pharmacist before taking
any supplement.
• Make sure your doctor and
pharmacist has a list of all
remedies you’re taking,
including prescription and
over-the-counter drugs as
well as all supplements.
That’s because certain
supplements can interact
with medications,
causing dangerous side
effects or lessening the
drug’s effectiveness.
• Follow all directions on
supplement labels,
taking special care not to
exceed the maximum
recommended dose.
SHOULD I TRY MELATONIN OR VALERIAN TO HELP ME SLEEP BETTER?
I’VE HEARD OLDER PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE VITAMIN B12. WHY?
If you’re over 50, it’s smart to
check B12 levels because your
body absorbs about 10 to 30
percent less of it than it did
when you were younger, says
Zied. The reason: Stomach
acid plays an important role
in B12 absorption, and our
guts produce less acid as we
age. “Those with GI problems
like Crohn’s or celiac disease
or who avoid meat and dairy
[the biggest dietary sources of
B12] are also at increased risk
for deﬁciency,” she says. Very
low blood levels of B12 can
cause neurological symptoms
like tingling and numbness in
your extremities, and cognitive
changes such as memory loss.
In many places, getting enough nutrients
means the difference between thriving and
merely surviving.

in need—specifically pregnant women,
new mothers and children under 5—gain

A 2007 review of studies by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
revealed that melatonin may help alleviate circadian rhythm disorders like
sleeplessness due to shift work or jet lag, as well as a condition known as
delayed sleep phase disorder, where you can’t fall asleep before two or
three in the morning and then can’t wake up until late morning. Studies
show that with delayed sleep disorder, taking melatonin in the afternoon

A New Tool
IN The ClAssroom—ANd
The FACTory
A former K–8 teacher in
Seattle, Pettis wants to put a
printer in every K–12 school
in the U.S. “ When I was
growing up,” he says, “there
was an Apple IIe in the classroom, and if you were a nerd,
you were taking it apart. That
was probably the most important part of the education—it
had nothing to do with what
was on the test that day.”
Pettis thinks the MakerBot
can be the Apple IIe of the
21st-century classroom, reinserting an element of
hands-on tinkering into a
test-obsessed curriculum.
“The students who get these
printers start seeing the physical world differently, they start
designing stuff, they’re activated as entrepreneurs, they
start making and selling, say,
iPhone cases with the school’s
logo on them—and it all takes
off from there,” says Pettis.

Who said these were the Golden Years? The typical aches and pains that often accompany
aging, coupled with the fear of falling (and breaking a hip or worse), are enough to tarnish anyone’s
senior decades.
But there is an easy way to restore your sense of optimism…and bolster your ability to truly
age gracefully. It does not involve doctor visits, drugs or physical therapy. It’s not about hypnosis,
supplements or exercising.
In fact, it’s something you can do in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You may be
surprised to find out the answer is hydrotherapy with a Jacuzzi® Walk-In Tub!
Don’t let aches and pains dampen your zest for life—not when there’s a solution right at hand.This
is not some pie-in-the-sky promise. Hydrotherapy has been a trusted method of relaxation and
healing since the first century.
Hydrotherapy may:
• Aid recovery from injuries
• Alleviate muscle soreness
• Improve circulation
• Ease the symptoms of arthritis,

are also becoming a mainstay on
college campuses, such as Case
Western Reserve University, home
to an innovation center open to
both students and members of the
public called the think[box]. “It
psyches the students up about
things it’s hard to get them psyched
about,” says James McGuffinCawley, Ph.D., chairman of materials science and engineering at
Case Western. “Maybe they’re not
excited about figuring out the glass
transition temperature of a thermoplastic polymer. But if you’re
having a difficult time trying to
make something cool [with a 3-D
printer], the faculty member who
can explain it becomes someone
you’d like to spend time with. It
creates a motivated learner.”
Some even envision a future in
which there’s a 3-D printer in every kitchen, printing our dinners
and cabinet hinges, but most industry experts remain skeptical.
“Industrial printing is where it’s
at,” says Terry Wohlers, president
of Wohlers Associates, a Fort
Collins, Co.–based consulting
firm that specializes in the 3-D
printing industry. “The desktop
printers are good for schools and
education, for prototypes and
models. But if you’re talking
about a $1,500 machine as opposed to a $150,000 machine, the
results are vastly different. I don’t
see a future where we’re all just
printing what we need at home
and manufacturing goes away.”
Instead, 3-D printing will more
likely enhance and advance traditional manufacturing. Mark Deadrick, who built TurboRoo’s cart and
is president of the San Diego–
based industrial design firm 3dyn,
first encountered the technology
20 years ago as an auto engineer in
Detroit, where Chrysler was 3-D-
printing prototypes of engine
blocks. Boeing has had tens of
thousands of 3-D-printed parts in
the air for years. And in what was
seen as an industry bellwether, GE
Aviation bought the additivemanufacturing company Morris
Technologies in 2012 to make
3-D-printed parts for jet engines.
“I strongly believe this technology
will help create tens of thousands
of new companies and jobs in the
U.S. and abroad,” Wohlers says.
“In fact, we’re seeing it happen.”
A MedicAl
Revolution
By far the most exciting ways in
which 3-D printing is being used
are in the medical field. Across
the U.S., research teams have
been making rapid progress in
3-D-printing a bewildering array
of human body parts: ear cartilage
and muscle tissue; skin, skulls,
and bones; organs large and small.
“It’s nuts!” says Faiz Bhora,
M.D., chief of thoracic surgery at
Mount Sinai Roosevelt and St.
Luke’s Hospitals, whose team is
working toward a breakthrough:
the first 3-D-printed tracheas to
be successfully implanted in humans. “I think within five years,
we are going to see parts of 3-Dprinted organs being implanted,
as well as things like jawbones,
tibia bones—things that are not
very complicated and where failure is not usually catastrophic.
The next step up perhaps is tubes
and cylinders—the airway, perhaps, the ureters, arteries, veins.
The third tier will be whole organs, heart valves, maybe parts of
the kidneys, nerve cells.
“We’re going to get to a point,”

Bhora says, “where if you have a
defect in an organ, you’ll just get a
new one. Imagine: You’re 40 years
old, and you can print the same
organ you had when you were 21.
It’s like a car: You ﬁx it a couple
times, and then you realize it’s
cost-effective to replace the part.”
“The process is the same no
matter what we’re making,” says
Anthony Atala, M.D., of the
Wake Forest Baptist Medical
Center’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine. “We take a very
small piece of tissue from the
patient’s organ—less than half
the size of a postage stamp—
then tease that tissue apart to its
individual cell components.”
After a month or so spent growing those cells in a lab, they’re
combined with a gel and fed into
the printing cartridge. “We can
then print the tissue layer by
layer—imagine an ink-jet
printer, but instead of ink, it’s
printing cells. You lay down a
layer of scaffold, then a layer of
cells so that the 3-D shape is
formed, like baking a layer cake.”
Because the cells are harvested from the patient’s own
body, 3-D-printed implants
would present far fewer risks in
terms of transplant rejection.
They also open up a host of
research and treatment possibilities beyond transplants. “We
can create tissues and organs to
test drugs for toxicity, for
example,” Atala says. “Or we
can think about what we can do
for burn victims—we’d be able
to scan the wound so that the
cells could be placed where they
need to be.”
Customization is also key.
“It’s particularly important in

the pediatric age group. In most
pediatric operations that require
implants, we’re just using the
smallest possible adult sizes and
trying to make that work,” Bhora
says. “One of the biggest advantages of 3-D printing is the
ability to customize an organ for
the patient.”
And Anastasia Rivas is benefitting from that customization. Her
new hand is not as sophisticated
as many traditional prostheses—
she can close only all fingers at
once, not a digit at a time. But the
Robohand has other benefits. “If
she outgrows it, we can print
another,” Esham says. “If she
breaks it, it’s easy to fix. There are
no batteries to recharge. She can
get her hand wet and dirty; you
can’t do that with the expensive
prosthetic hands, even though
getting wet and dirty is what
hands do! 3-D printing gives you
something lightweight, cheap,
and functional.”
“The kids at school think my
Robohand is really cool,” says
Anastasia, who recently started
fifth grade. “Now I can pick up
my eyeglass case, and I can pick
up a pencil, although that is still
hard to do—I keep practicing.”
Anastasia also wants to practice
using the hand to play baseball
and basketball and to ride her
bike. As far as Anastasia’s grandmother, Wanda Oliveras, is
concerned, the sky is the limit,
and she’s as bullish as anyone on
the future of the technology.
“I will be counting on Ty as
Anastasia grows, so that someday
she will feel like she has two hands
like anyone else,” Oliveras says.
“Our relationship with these
machines is going to be lifelong.”

it be great for the U.S. to have a
woman president? You bet.
Melinda Gates
When you were at Duke University, you were one of just a
few female computer science
students. Today, there is still a
gender gap in the STEM fields.
How can we fix that?
We need to look at the middle
school years, when girls start
to lose their conﬁdence. We need
to help them realize they’re just
as good as the boys in math
and science.
Your daughter is a freshman in
college. What was it like to send
her off to school?
I feel like my job was to make sure
she had her wings to ﬂy when she
felt ready to go. Watching her
walk out the door tugs on my
heart deeply. But I’m so pleased
and happy for her.
to focus on family planning?
In my work, I’d been meeting
with mothers about vaccines for
years. If I stayed long enough,
they’d ask me, “What about a
shot for me?” They were asking
about a contraceptive injection.
They explained that it was a matter of life and death. When a
woman can space out the births
of her kids, she can ensure they
each get fed. Then if her kids are
healthy, she can get them into
school. We know from great research in Bangladesh that if you
give women access to contracep-
tives, their families are better educated and wealthier over time.
Pope Francis has said the
church is too focused on contraception. Have you talked to him
about your work?
No, but I’d like to tell him I believe in his commitment to the
poor. Bringing the church back to
its social justice roots is a mission
we share.
In the U.S., it’s been almost
100 years since women got
the right to vote. What should
we be fighting for today?
Women hold less than 20 percent
of leadership roles in business,
government, and nonproﬁts. We
need to have more female leaders.
Would a woman president help
us get there?
I think having a president—man
What’s a typical Sunday like
for the Gates family?
Sunday night is when we all do
something fun together. Whether
that’s jumping on the trampoline
in the backyard, or crowding in
bed—two dogs, two adults, three
kids [ages 12, 15, and 18]—to
watch Modern Family.
What did you do for your 50th
birthday?
My family went to Austria and
my sister threw me a Sound of
Music party, because it’s my favorite movie! We dressed up in
costumes and there was lots and
lots of singing.
