![]() Indigo also gained the ownership of the Coles chain of small-format bookstores, which was also owned by Chapters. With financing from Onex Corporation, Indigo bought Chapters, their largest Canadian competitor, in 2001 and continues to operate many stores under the Chapters banner. The company's first big-box bookstore initially called "Indigo Books, Music & More", was opened in Burlington, Ontario on September 4, 1997. The company was founded in 1996 by Heather Reisman, who is married to Gerry Schwartz, majority owner and CEO of Onex Corporation. In late 2017, announcements were made to expand to the United States, starting with a location in The Mall at Short Hills in Millburn, New Jersey. Īfter a series of mergers and acquisitions in the Canadian bookstore industry, Indigo stands as Canada's last remaining national bookstore chain. Indigo is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and employed more than 7,000 people throughout Canada. As of July 1, 2017, the company operated 86 superstores under the banners Chapters and Indigo and 123 small format stores, under the banners Coles, Indigospirit, and The Book Company. As of 2022, Indigo has started selling music (vinyl, CDs), and select audio equipment (headphones, turntables).Īt the end of its fiscal year in March 2018, the company reported a record annual revenue surpassing CAD $1 billion. Most Chapters and Indigo stores include a Starbucks café inside.

![]() They’re not all evil, but they are primarily responsible for nearly every problem in the Halo universe: the Flood, the Halo rings, and - to some extent, out of their control - the Covenant itself. They were positioned to be the Precursors’ original successors, and, at one time, the most powerful species in the universe. The Forerunners were humanity’s biggest rivals and serve as the primary antagonists in 343 Industries’ Halo games. The Precursors helped shape and evolve humans, the Forerunners, and many other races using the Mantle of Responsibility, a creation philosophy. No matter what happens next for Halo, Microsoft and 343 Industries need to make the difficult decision to move on from the beloved Master Chief.The Forerunners get all the credit in the Halo games, but the Precursors came before, as their name implies. Halo Infinite and its future is also a big part of this, as initially it was said that Infinite would evolve over time, but reports of other Halo games in development have dialed back those expectations. An argument could also be made that it's time for a new developer to try its hand at the franchise, but that would be a decision for Microsoft to make and is one that seems rather unlikely. To say goodbye to the Master Chief would be hard for many fans, but it may be the best thing for the franchise. Perhaps they could jump around from a cast of characters to experience different stories, or the player plays as basic pilots with the ability to die and simply move on to the next. ![]() ![]() A way to expand upon this as well would be not locking the player into a single pilot. A game based around this and putting the player into a pilot would be fresh and entertaining. One idea could use one of Halo: Reach's unique missions, Long Night of Solace, and its ship-to-ship combat. A third but less likely option would be looking at new gameplay directions. All of these options also introduce ways to spice up combat by putting the player into a form weaker than a Spartan. Some examples of areas this would work are the UNSCs founding, the first years of the Human-Covenant war, or the Arbiter's effort to unify the remains of the Covenant for a better future. These stories would be completely original and could be easier for 343, as the studio may feel less handcuffed by the works of others. Option two would be to explore areas of the lore that have only been brought up but never really delved into. On the other hand, for those who have never read the books, this would be the chance to explore a new part of the franchise they haven't otherwise. For those that have read the books, this wouldn't feel like something completely new, but sometimes a change to a different medium can enhance a product. The simplest way would be to take some of the Halo books and turn them into games. Halo's biggest asset is the lore it has built up over the years, which can be used in many ways. Reach was also assisted by one of the best multiplayer experiences in the Halo franchise, something the past three games have been a rollercoaster with. Though Noble team may not be as well-liked as the ODST group, they were still a personal bunch whose deaths felt impactful and emotional. ![]() Reach showed that humanity has not always been on the winning side of its war with the Covenant and that the losing end is not pretty. Halo: Reach returned players to the life of a Spartan but also introduced one of the best campaign experiences in not just Halo, but all gaming. As ODSTs are not as strong as Spartans, this game required more thought and strategy, a nice little reprieve from the usual guns-blazing approach of Halo. ODST allowed players engage with a slightly more complex experience without being a genetically advanced super soldier, while also introducing some of the favorite characters in the franchise. While all five of Bungie's Halo games are loved, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach are standouts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Obviously now, you don’t get to purchase and ride elephants for your personal transport like that.

As Christa Lesté-Lasserre reports for Science magazine, the protocol requires restoration workers and scientists to step into changing areas and don disposable safety wear-down to paper underwear-as well as wear protective masks while working.Īfter at most 150 minutes of work, restorers have to remove their gear, shower and put on a new set of disposable clothes. When authorities confirmed lead levels in the area surrounding the historic church last July, restoration was halted for three weeks as project leaders developed new procedures to reduce the spread of lead dust throughout nearby neighborhoods. Measures enacted last August to contain the threat of lead contamination are now in conflict with strict measures announced on Monday to reduce the virus’ impact in France.Īn official involved in restoration efforts tells Libération that the removal of scaffolding cannot continue without workers violating “security measures relating to the coronavirus epidemic.” The decision comes as restoration workers at the site were scheduled to begin removing the 250 tons of scaffolding currently weighing down the structure, according to the Art Newspaper’s Gareth Harris. ![]() ![]() Restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, which suffered devastating damage during an April 2019 fire, has been postponed indefinitely as France takes drastic measures to stop the spread of COVID-19, reports Bernadette Sauvaget for French daily Libération. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tape library Data Storage, Backup & Recovery.It just depends how far down the rabbit hole you're willing to go. If none of those options work, there's still more you can do on your own. ![]() Spinrite is another option for physical repair. If you are going to use a Linux box, tools like testdisk, photorec, and ddrescue (for physical damage) my usual go-tos. Of course read and understand exactly what the tools do before you do anything else. If you want to try the Windows route, just google "windows data recovery" with or without the word "free", depending on your available funds for the project. Then work the clone disk to get that data back. Just read, verify, check, and double check that you have the source and target correct before committing. That could easily be done with a live Clonzilla disc. Make that the last time you have to attach this disk until the data is recovered. Whatever you do, I think you need to attempt to image the drive first. If I'm working directly on the disk and trash it, all is lost. Then I work with the image, because if I trash the image I've lost nothing but time. The first thing I do is attempt to image the disk on a non-Windows box. Or it might be more complicated, where you have to image the disk and work with that image. It might be as simple as connect, mount, read, and copy the data. That eliminates the possibility that the disk is just messing with Windows and possibly damaging the data.

It would take a full catalog page to cover all the alternative uses of. Don’t worry, though, we’ve already scoured the internet and filtered out the premium ones for you. Put the whisk upside down vertically in the utensil holder to let the remaining water drain out completely before the next usage. The design originated with the Danes long ago, but now the whisk is made only in Poland. Care Information:Īvoid soaking the wooden handle in the water for a long time. When the mixture is fully combined, rinse the whisk under running water to clean. Stir your ingredients using a circular motion. Length: 29cm, Width: 8.5cm, Weight: 132g (stainless steel handle whisk).It’s also still a whisk so I use it combining starter and water before adding the dry ingredients. You do a big mixing action with it more than a fast whisking action, so don’t let the name throw you off. Length: 33cm, Width: 7.5cm, Weight: 110g (wooden handle whisk) Like others have said - it’s a great tool for combining the wet and dry ingredients initially.Made to a traditional Danish design with stainless steel hoops.Ergonomic and attractive wooden or stainless steel handle that's easy to grip.The dough mixer is both functional and stylishly designed, making it a kitchen essential for you and a thoughtful gift for a hobbyist baker. This enables you to whisk quickly but with less force so your ingredients are more evenly combined (and your arm won't get as tired!). Those fancy-looking hoops are the secret to the whisk's effectiveness the flow-through design has only 5% of the surface area of a regular mixing spoon. Three professional-grade stainless steel hoops of differing diameters form the business end of this unique piece of equipment. The dough whisk comes in two styles, boasting a crafted wooden handle or a sleek stainless steel handle, which fits securely and comfortably in your hand. It can be used for making the mixture, muffins, cookies, pie fillings and more - whatever your imagination can whip up! Who better to take baking tips from than the Danish? They certainly know their pastries and cakes! Their traditional methods and practical baking tools have inspired this Danish dough mixer, which is a handy, multipurpose tool used across Australia. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, after the success of Toy Story (and boost in sales for Mr. Originally, Woody's girlfriend in the first Toy Story was supposed to be a Barbie doll instead of Bo Peep, but Mattel refused to license the character to Disney. The lamp comforted Molly and she would often have her hand lay on Bo's feet. She and her sheep were bought along with the lamp not too long after Molly was born, due to the baby being scared of the dark, which "broke every toy's heart", according to Woody. In Toy Story 4, her origins are slightly explained by Woody to Giggle McDimples. In private, she is a great deal more daring with her words and actions, which Woody seems to be quite fond of. She is noted for using her shepherdess crook to hook her cowboy and bring him closer in a romantic way. Bo is the romantic interest (later girlfriend) of Woody, providing a calm and loving comfort whenever he is overwhelmed.
