8/10/2023 0 Comments Silo series book namesSimultaneously, over in Silo 18, an uprising peaks in a bloody battle and ends in a return to some sort of drug induced normalcy for the residents. This revelation only serves to anger Donald and further his resentment toward Thurman and the other orchestrators of the project. Helen, as it turns out, died many decades ago, having been a wife to Donald's best friend and mother to his children. During this shift, Donald comes to realize that Anna orchestrated his separation from Helen in an attempt to be with him. He and Anna work together in isolation, hidden from the rest of Silo 1's workers. There are problems among the silos they believe only he can solve. The second shift finds Donald woken by Thurman and Anna. As he does, we realize that Troy is, in fact, Donald. As his shift wears on, he begins avoiding the drugs the workers are given regularly and starts to remember his past. During this, his first shift, he is forced to order the collapse of Silo 12, killing every one inside. Troy finds himself in a high-up position, responsible for monitoring the other 49 silos and ensuring their health. Here, unlike in the other silos, men work six month shifts and then are put back to sleep for decades until their next shift. Meanwhile, in between chapters about the young congressman, a man name Troy is woken from cryonic sleep and set to work in Silo 1. Donald and his wife Helen end up in separate silos, right next to each other. As a young girl sings the National Anthem, the bombs fall and people are ushered into the silos. This timeline ends as the National Convention takes place at the new facility - a different state is camped out over each silo. The years go by the facility is built without Donald every realizing its true purpose or replication fifty times over at the same large site outside of Atlanta. The only people he speaks to about his work are his best friend and the Senator's daughter, Anna, who also happens to be Donald's ex-girlfriend. He is kept highly isolated from anyone else working on the project under the premise of confidentiality. Donald, whose education was in architecture, is asked to design an underground silo for the workers of a new facility meant to house used nuclear cores. His relationship with older, well-respected Senator Thurman opens the door to join a top-secret project. The first shift finds Donald at the start of his first term in Washington. Each shift bounces between two story lines. Howey breaks his story into three "shifts," hence the book title. The book follows Donald, a young US congressman decades from our current era. At the start, this requires a bit of dedication to follow and discern what is happening and how it fits into the larger plot of the series. No regrets, though it was totally worth it. I felt a little badly since I am currently reading a half dozen books and I completely disregarded all others until I finished Shift. When I finally found a copy a few weeks ago, I blazed through it just as quickly as I did its predecessor. Ever since I put Wool down, I have been dying to get my hands on Shift, the prequel and second book in the Silo series. That post encapsulates much of my feelings on Hugh Howey as an author. Look, I'll even give you the link again to make it easy for you - click here to read it.Īre you done? Did you read it? Good. If you have not read my post about that book, I strongly encourage you to go back and do so. Earlier this summer, I read Hugh Howey's Wool.

8/10/2023 0 Comments Rocket falling to earthIn March debris from a Falcon 9 rocket launched by US company SpaceX fell to Earth in Washington and on the Oregon coast. In 2019 the space agency controlled the demolition of its second station, Tiangong-2, in the atmosphere. It was the heaviest debris to fall uncontrolled since the former Soviet space station Salyut 7 in 1991.Ĭhina’s first space station, Tiangong-1, crashed into the Pacific in 2016 after Beijing confirmed it had lost control. In May 2020 another Chinese rocket fell uncontrolled into the Atlantic off west Africa. ”This particular case combines quite some of the mass in a single event which is remarkable, but it will not alter the annual risk profile too much,” Krag said. The vast majority plunges into the Pacific. For the Chinese rocket body, that would be the equivalent of several tonnes.Ībout 150 tonnes of space hardware fall back to Earth each year and so far there have been no casualties. “A rough rule of thumb derived from the more detailed analysis of known objects, but not necessarily comparable, suggests that between 20% and 40% of the dry mass can survive,” he said. Krag said it was not possible to predict how much of the rocket would survive re-entry without having design details of the Long March 5b first stage. The rocket’s trajectory means that any parts that survive re-entry will land between 41 degrees north and 41 degreessouth, a strip of Earth that runs from southern regions of Spain, Portugal and Italy down to Australia. It is hard to pinpoint when and where the rocket will come down, but current ESA estimates are between 8 May and 10 May. The latest data shows it is in an elliptical orbit ranging from 165km to 292km from Earth. The roughly 100-foot-long remnant, a section that launched the main module of China’s first space station, would be among the biggest space debris to fall to Earth. Chinas space agency said most remains of the Long March 5 burnt in the atmosphere. NASAs head said China failed to 'meet responsible standards' in. Holger Krag, the head of the European Space Agency’s space debris office, said an Austrian laser station was able to track the falling rocket. Chinese rocket debris has crashed to Earth over the Indian and Pacific oceans, US and Chinese officials say. May 11, 2021, 2:33 AM PDT Chinas Long March 5B rocket taking off from the Wenchang launch center in Chinas Hainan province. China plans 10 more launches to carry additional parts of the space station into orbit. The Long March 5B rocket carried the main module of Tianhe, or Heavenly Harmony, into orbit on 29 April. Things more than 10 tonnes, we don’t let them fall out of the sky uncontrolled deliberately.” “What’s bad is that it’s really negligent on China’s part. 8/10/2023 0 Comments Gifted full movie for freeMary has lived with Frank, a former college professor turned boat repairman, ever since. It emerges that Mary's mother, Diane, had been a promising mathematician, dedicated to the Navier–Stokes problem (one of the unsolved Millennium Prize Problems) before taking her own life when Mary was six months old. Based on his family's experiences with similar schools, he fears Mary will not have a chance at a 'normal' childhood. Mary is offered a scholarship to a private school for gifted children. Production: Grade A Entertainment, Dayday Films, FilmNation Entertainment, Fox Searchlight Pictures. There, despite her initial disdain for average children her own age and her boredom with their classwork, she begins to bond with them when she brings her one-eyed cat, Fred, for show-and-tell and later defends a classmate from a bully on the bus. The principal tells Frank that Mary is gifted, adding that she can get Mary a full ride to a very prestigious school that will challenge her. Frank, a single man raising his child prodigy niece Mary, is drawn into a custody battle with his mother. On her first day of first grade, she shows remarkable mathematical talent, which impresses her teacher, Bonnie Stevenson. Her best friend is her 40-ish neighbor, Roberta. There are profound moments, especially in places where Evans and Duncan do battle out of court as mother and son, but there aren't enough of them to make Gifted, well, gifted.Storyline: The Gifted (2014) In a small town near Tampa, Florida, seven-year-old Mary Adler lives with uncle and de facto guardian, Frank. The dialogue gives "surprises" away, and Slate and Spencer are wasted in underwritten roles. The takeaways about gifted children are well-trodden, the plot twists hardly twisty. For a film with a custody case at the heart of its plot, Gifted is surprisingly inert. It's a pity the messy script doesn't live up Grace's her gifts. To watch her and Evans (and, in some scenes, Spencer) is to witness a future award-winning actress in the making. Her Mary is far from a caricature, a young girl who's still pining for the love and presence of her parents and the simple pleasures of hanging out with her cat but is easily bored with any math that doesn't require a Ph.D. Grace is masterful, displaying the kind of nuance and depth of emotion that older, more seasoned actors do. This drama isn't what you'd call groundbreaking or memorable, but, thanks to its two leads - Evans and young Grace - it's more appealing than it really deserves to be. Evelyn thinks Mary belongs with her and shouldn't be raised by her wayward son Frank wants to raise Mary like any other kid (albeit one whose best friend is their landlady next door ( Octavia Spencer). Evelyn is a mathematician herself, and she helped nurture Frank's sister's monumental academic gifts sadly, Mary's mom died when she was in her early 20s, shortly after giving birth to Mary. This prompts further interventions, which occasion the arrival of Frank's mother, Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan). Frank is told about a chance for Mary to attend a school for gifted kids, which he turns down. Within a day, it's clear the elementary school in their Florida town is far from adequate, after Mary's teacher ( Jenny Slate) intuits that her new student is far more advanced than her peers. But then he decides she needs to start making friends her own age and attending a regular school. A former philosophy professor, Frank now makes a pseudo-living fixing boats while he raises Mary, a second-grader who's fascinated with differential equations and anything to do with advanced mathematics. GIFTED Mary Adler (Mckenna Grace) has always been homeschooled by her devoted but beleaguered uncle, Frank Adler ( Chris Evans). 8/10/2023 0 Comments Women graphic tees designerYou can withdraw your consent at any time by texting STOP.

The Butte County towns of Paradise, Pulga and Concow were evacuated shortly after the fire started. Jerry Brown traveled out of state, declared a state of emergency in Butte County. The blaze, named the Camp Fire because of its proximity to Camp Creek Road near Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon, was scorching several areas within Paradise, which is home to many retirees. “I can’t think of an area that’s safe right now.” Al Smith of the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, noting that several deputies who ventured into evacuation zones to rescue residents also became trapped by flames burning around them.

Hopefully, the next couple of volumes will build this character up into someone that doesn’t feel like just a punching bag next to the rest of the story. Instead of having any weighty ambition or ingenious master plan like Amon or Zaheer, Tokuga is just a one-dimensional gang leader. The core villain of the read, Tokuga, is the weakest yet in Korra’s Rogues Gallery. Much of the core conflict feels the same as previous seasons, with humans and spirits having issues co-existing with each other and the Avatar stepping in to calm down the fire. For a book called Turf Wars, I was expecting something with a little more meat on the bones, even if this is a build-up volume. While I enjoyed this portion of the book I was disappointed in the lack of a threatening conflict. It is treated as a natural fact of the character and they are still the same people that we grew to love throughout the show. All of the characters that fans love and remember still carry their iconic personalities and quirks, demonstrating that just because they’ve been revealed as gay doesn’t that they are viewed as a token, or that that one aspect is viewed as a defining characteristic. While some parents might be scared of handing this book to their children because of the reveal of LGBTQ relationships, I believe that this book provides a great starting point for this kind of conversation. Instead of playing around with who is straight or gay because of the restrictions of a children’s cartoon, the creative team now has the freedom to build up and reveal these sexualities to the reader in a meaningful way on the page instead of only in Q&A panels. It’s no surprise that Korra and Asami’s relationship is the biggest chunk of the read in Turf Wars- Part One because it shakes up things for the world of Avatar.
