![]() “Bookstores are doing better now than they were before the pandemic because of an increase in the number of people that are reading, and because the message has spread, which emphasizes the importance of supporting your local bookstore,” Barrett said.īarrett stressed the importance of independent bookstores as places that foster a sense of community and comfort, an experience big-box retailers can’t replicate.Įvanston resident Penelope Rosemont, a regular visitor to Bookends & Beginnings, echoed these sentiments. However, the store’s closure this past spring may lead to the arrival of more indie bookstores, Barrett and Slonka said. Slonka said there used to be about ten bookstores in the city, but once Barnes & Noble opened in 2006, the number of independent bookstores decreased. ![]() “Thousands of people pass (by), not knowing that it’s here.” Moreover, it will be great for actually promoting the store in terms of its visibility,” Slonka said. “The expansion of the store itself shows good promise. Tom Slonka, an Evanston resident and former bookstore owner, said he is delighted by the expansion as it is a definite sign that the store is booming financially. “I always felt that Evanston needed a cool independent bookstore,” Barrett said. Once the owner of Bookman’s Alley, the store that used to occupy “Bookends,” announced he was going out of business, Barrett realized the time had come to open her store. All experiences which she attributes to her ability to run “Bookends.” While completing her Medill degree, Barrett worked as a general clerk at an antique bookstore and was even a manager at the store. She said her time as a publisher and bookstore manager gave her the skills necessary to run her store. Once individuals come inside, Barrett said she hopes to direct them to the alley store.īoth a Yale and Medill graduate, Barrett has worked in the book industry for the past 15 years. “We never could take advantage of all the foot traffic that comes from the restaurants, the football games, the reunions or the parent-child drop-offs because the store is located in an alley and not directly visible on the street,” Barrett said.īarrett wanted the extension to serve a boutique-style gift store appealing to the average passerby. She said she saw the storefront’s large window on Sherman Avenue will increase business visibility. ![]() When CouCou & Olive, which was adjacent to Bookends & Beginnings, closed, bookstore owner Nina Barrett (Medill ‘87) jumped at the chance to expand and grow the store. Despite the challenges the pandemic has brought on, Bookends & Beginnings – which recently expanded – continues to thrive.

I liked the pilot, hated episode 2, and really liked episode 3 here. The chip comes unassembled and unpainted. I will say this all feels a lot more like Halo with Cortana around now, so that helps, regardless of what John is or is not wearing. T his Cortana data chip from HALO Infinite is printed with a high-quality resin with a blue glow-in-the-dark ring FDM printed. This receiver box is inserted by carving. Whatever, they made this decision, we just have to role with it, and at least Schreiber is doing a good job. Chip: Halo 4 Cortana Light-Up Keychain Helmet: Disguise-branded Halo 5 Master Chief costume helmet, adult size. This episode we not only deal with a helmet-free Chief for 100% of the time, but he actually gets fully naked at one point. Cortana Timeline shown in Data chips from the beginning to her demise Bonus chip on the end 'The weapon'. This is the high-resolution Cortana model at 6' printed size with AI Chip on a custom display base with the USB Light-up kit. I wanted to share with you guys a small project I finished up recently :D Its the data chip seen in the halo 5 teaser video, as soon as I saw this I. At this point I guess I just have to give up on the whole “Master Chief feels weird without his helmet” thing as they’re clearly just sprinting in this direction full-stop. This is the latest update on the 3D printed Halo Cortana kits. ![]() Pablo Schreiber too is given some space to breathe this episode, removing Chief’s emotional suppression pellet. ![]() Have you tuned out cop shows after all those years on “NYPD Blue”?

Selfridge” and I miss “Boardwalk Empire” and “Mad Men.” I was a fan of “Parenthood” - I thought that was great TV that got overlooked - and I like “Homeland,” “House of Cards,” “The Americans,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” “Empire,” “Power” and “Nashville.” I think Matt LeBlanc has been a revelation on “Episodes.” I’m a fan of “Downton Abbey,” “Call the Midwife,” “Mr. My wife and I plan our night around it … and watch each episode more than once. I love “Game of Thrones,” which isn’t even TV anymore, it’s so superior to everything. We’re clearly in the golden age of TV and there aren’t enough hours in the day. But I get satisfaction now by watching other people do it. I miss the creative process, that certain satisfaction at the end of a long day when you think you’ve done something well and take pride in it. I realized I’m pretty good at this and I’d like another year to think about what’s next - and during that second period of time, I sort of made my mind up that this is where I wanna be. When we finished up, I told my agents I needed a year off, and that year went by in about 10 minutes. At one point, in about the ninth season, I told Steven Bochco that if we made it to Season 12, that’s a good number. It was becoming a job, as much as I loved the work and the challenges and the creative process. What happened was, at the end of that run, I needed a break. They come with us for just about the entire summer and bring all their friends. I have three grandkids who live a block from us and I’m with them every day.

We leave to go back home to California and then we’re coming out to New York City for a month to catch up on a lot of theater. We do a lot of swimming and fishing and enjoying the lake. We have a home up in north Idaho, on a lake, and we’re there all summer long. The answer? Anything he wants - including watching lots of TV.Īs I’m talking to you, I’m getting my fishing gear together … and that’s a good part of what I do now. The Post reached out to Franz, and he agreed to a rare interview in which he talks about what he’s doing these days. When the series ended its 12-year run in 2005, Franz, only 61 at the time, vanished off the Hollywood grid - and hasn’t acted since. Dennis Franz was a prime-time powerhouse on “NYPD Blue,” snaring four Emmys (and another four nominations) for his role as hot-tempered Detective Andy Sipowicz - partnered mostly with Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) - on the long-running ABC cop drama. ![]() Add the sour cream and cream cheese to the instant pot and gently stir in until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined.Release the pressure manually and stir the contents.When the noodles are done, remove from the heat and add the mushrooms and stir.

I kept calling his grandparents, who were driving by then. When she tried to go back to rescue them, she was stopped by the police. Jennifer Christensen (right) let her 2-year-old son, Avery, sleep late on the morning of the fires when she left him with his adopted grandparents and drove to work in Chico. Soon she’s leaving, heading west to work as a massage therapist. It’s in her blood, she says, and now a reminder of her hometown is also tattooed on her forearm. “So he survived okay too.”īrook Madison (left, with her children, Justin and Eva) grew up in Paradise. “We saw him again a few days ago,” Michelle says. Coyotes and deer fled through the yard, and at one point, a terrified bear. Brandon, who has a fire sprinkler business, walked the grounds in a pair of swimming goggles and a backpack water tank, tamping out grass fires. By 5:00 p.m., fallen trees in the road blocked their way out and fire surrounded the ranch. “Brandon got the idea to make a stencil with my phone number and spray-painted it on all the horses, just in case we had to let them loose.” They moved the animals close to the house for safety, creating a makeshift corral with electric tape. ![]() “Horses don’t like to be alone, so we tried to keep them together,” Michelle says. She drove in as Paradise burned on the ridge above. “We’re the last one in the canyon so it would have hit us first,” Michelle told me. ![]() The ranch survived the Humboldt fires of 2008, and they had made some crucial changes, like installing solar paneling for the water pump, but early on the morning of November 8, there was a new urgency in her father’s voice. She drives to her parents’ ranch near Butte College almost every day to take care of her horses. “If you’ve been through wildfire, you think you know what to expect,” says Michelle Camy, a photographer who lives in Chico with her husband, Brandon Squyres, a musician. “Forest fires are totally preventable.” Trump’s pronouncement came two days after 100 Camp Fire victims were told they could no longer camp on their own lands as they rebuilt, because of benzene contamination, and a week after the Red Cross closed its last relief shelter in Chico, which still housed approximately 600 people. “We cannot continue to spend billions of dollars, billions and billions of dollars,” he said in early February. The president repeatedly called Paradise “Pleasure” when he visited a little over a week after the blaze, advised the state to “rake” the forest floor, and made repeated threats to cut off federal disaster aid. It is believed to have originated on Camp Creek Road, north of Paradise, which is where the Camp Fire, now the deadliest and most destructive in California’s history, got its name. It devastated entire neighborhoods, and inexplicably it left some houses unscathed. On Butte Creek, it burned the Honey Run Covered Bridge, a local landmark for 132 years. The fire burned through rural Concow, through Magalia, through Paradise. No one had experienced the unique horror of watching the hospital burn, or the Safeway, as flames lapped at the sides of their own cars on the one main road out. Most people in Butte County had lived through multiple fires before-this is northern California, this is wildfire country-but no one had seen one like this, so fast and enveloping. Through the pines and cedars came the persistent sound of crackling foil. The Camp Fire began on the clear morning of November 8, 2018, which made it eerier still, a radiant sky that turned black.

A river-bed-like outflow channel can be seen, originating from Iani Chaos and extending towards the top of the image. In this mosaic taken by the Mars Global Surveyor: Aram Chaos - top left and Iani Chaos - bottom right. The CO 2 hydrate was classified as a Type I clathrate for the first time by von Stackelberg & Muller (1954). Takenouchi & Kennedy (1965) measured the decomposition curve from 45 bars up to 2 kbar (4.5 to 200 MPa). Tamman & Krige measured the hydrate decomposition curve from 253 K down to 230 K in 1925 and Frost & Deaton (1946) determined the dissociation pressure between 273 and 283 K (0 and 10☌). Three years later, he published the hydrate dissociation curve in the range 267 K to 283 K (-6 to 10☌). Villard deduced the hydrate composition as CO 2 (from French)" This already indicates the importance of the surface available for reaction (i.e. He also mentions that ".the hydrate is only formed either on the walls of the tube, where the water layer is extremely thin or on the free water surface. He was the first to estimate the CO 2 hydrate composition, finding it to be approximately CO 2 He noted that gas hydrate was a white material resembling snow and could be formed by raising the pressure above a certain limit in his H 2O - CO 2 system. The first evidence for the existence of CO 2 hydrates dates back to the year 1882, when Zygmunt Florenty Wróblewski reported clathrate formation while studying carbonic acid. It is also quite likely to be important on Mars due to the presence of carbon dioxide and ice at low temperatures. CO 2 hydrates are widely studied around the world due to their promising prospects of carbon dioxide capture from flue gas and fuel gas streams relevant to post-combustion and pre-combustion capture. The clathrate can exist below 283K (10 ☌) at a range of pressures of carbon dioxide. There has also been some experimental evidence for the development of a metastable Type II phase at a temperature near the ice melting point. ( June 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Ĭarbon dioxide hydrate or carbon dioxide clathrate is a snow-like crystalline substance composed of water ice and carbon dioxide. Please help improve it to make it understandable to non-experts, without removing the technical details. It is flammable.This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. ![]() Carbon monoxide also ignites easily, causing flame. It replaces the position of the oxygen in the haemoglobin, producing carboxyhemoglobin causing asphyxia. This gas is extremely toxic and causes dozens of fatal air poisoning. Health effects / safety hazards: Carbon monoxide is is fatal by inhalation. Carbon monoxide is also present in some mixtures of fuel. Other uses include the formation of chemical intermediaries through reactions that use carbon monoxide or end products as methanol, ethylene and acrylates. It is also a reagent in some organic synthesis reactions as the Frischer-Tropsh process. Uses: Carbon monoxide can be used in chemical industry as a reducing agent. This fact along with the similar size between both atoms also contributes with the stability and low reactivity of the molecule. The strong dipole moment due to the difference of electronegativity between the oxygen and carbon create a partial charge of -1 over the oxygen and +1 over the carbon atom. It is largely soluble in water and other solvents as chloroform, acetic acid, ethanol, methanol, toluene and ammonium hydroxide.Ĭhemical properties: Carbon monoxide is a stable molecule due to the strength exhibits by the triple bond. Its melting point is -205 ☌ and the boiling point is -191.5 ☌. The density of this gas is 0.79 g/mL (liquid) and 1.145 g/mL (gas). Physical properties: Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas. Carbon monoxide can also be produced by the oxidation of hydrocarbon gases that are present in the natural gas. Through these processes is produced all the carbon monoxide found in atmosphere. Preparation: Carbon monoxide is produced from the incomplete combustion of carbon, the decomposition of organic compounds or though the reduction of carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is also present in volcanoes. Occurrence: Carbon monoxide is found in nature, as produced in low concentrations by some archaea and bacteria. ![]() Its chemical structure can be written as below, in the common representations used for organic molecules. As in all triple bonds, it is formed by one sigma bond and two pi bonds and the molecule acquire a linear geometry. The molecule is formed one carbon atom and one oxygen atom joined by one triple bond. Formula and structure: The carbon monoxide chemical formula is CO. ![]() “Does anyone else.?”, “Is normal/weird?”, “Is wrong/bad/okay?”, and so forth.

In addition to content aggregation, in 2015, CATCHPLAY established AsiaPlay Incorporated with the ambition of becoming the leading premium content service provider for movie lovers in Asia. ![]() Today, we are the largest provider for premium movie content in Taiwan, aggregating content from Hollywood studios including Disney, Warner Bros., NBC Universal and Paramount in addition to having a wide selection of international independent films and leading local productions for distribution on major operators’ digital platforms. Today, CATCHPLAY continues to look into investment and co-production opportunities internationally and in Asia targeting particularly Chinese-speaking territories and South East Asia following our recent expansion footprints.ĬATCHPLAY started placing significant emphasis on the development of digital movie content years before the others did in Taiwan. In the same year, CATCHPLAY also provided financing and local production support to director Martin Scorsese’s passion project Silence, making it the first international production filmed entirely in Taiwan. CATCHPLAY and partners also control exclusive distribution rights to these films in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Macau, with The Revenant generating outstanding box office results from these territories in 2016. In early 2015, we closed a partnership deal to invest in New Regency’s three enthralling titles, namely The Revenant, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, marking the first investment of a Taiwanese company in major Hollywood productions. Both investments generated considerable box office performance in Taiwan and China respectively. In the same year, we invested in the locally produced film, Paradise in Service and co-produced 20 Once Again with CJ Entertainment for the Chinese market. In 2014, in addition to distributing the movies CATCHPLAY loves, we embarked in earnest co-production and investment projects, venturing into content creation. |
