The theater started dedicating one screen for independent film and is finding new programming for that crowd, Mayo said. The Indian movies even generated cross-over appeal for the American crowd.īloomfield 8 is particularly searching for the older audience underserved by Hollywood movies. The Bloomfield vicinity sports a large Indian population, and Bollywood screenings were popular years before Digiplex bought the facility, Mayo said. The aggressive move to alternative program was inspired, in part, by Bloomfield 8’s recent success showing Bollywood movies, which are produced in India. In addition to opera and ballet, Bloomfield 8 started branching out to find other crowds, such as trying to create a comedy club atmosphere and offering Kidtoons, which is Saturday and Sunday morning programming catering to children. The Bloomfield 8 Cinemas drastically increased its alternative programming after Digiplex Destinations purchased the theater in March. The reduction was meant more as a reward to loyal customers but is expected to increase attendance. To reward Bow-Tie patrons, the company lowered all its ticket and concession prices by 10 percent for the summer running June 17 to Sept. “It is still a very small part of the business, but it is growing steadily.” The theater also offers live concerts and specialty cinema events such as “Life in a Day,” which is a feature length documentary compiled from 80,000 YouTube users who shot video of what they did on July 24, 2010.Īlternative programming “basically takes times and days that you normally wouldn’t be busy,” said Joe Masher, chief operating officer for Bow-Tie, which has 18 locations in five states. The economic model of alternative programming gives theaters a lot more options to experiment, and slowly build audiences.īow-Tie Cinemas in West Hartford started offering live screenings of Stephen Sondheim plays. “It is beyond its infancy, and it has a lot of room to grow.” “The economics of running alternative content has gotten to the point where the concept is going to get a lot bigger,” Devine said. Niche programming - such as the “Tekken Blood Vengeance 3D” video game event on July 26 at Buckland Hills IMAX - doesn’t need to attract a huge crowd to be profittable, said Jeremy Devine, vice president of marketing for Rave Motion Pictures, which operates the Buckland Hills theater. Cinemas no longer rely on the much more expensive process of shipping in reels of film and setting them up in a projector. “People are surprised they can see something for $18 that would cost them $60-70 to see in New York,” plus the travel cost, Corcoran said.īecause of digital streaming, movie theaters can screen anything that can be digitized, including live broadcasts of sporting events such as college football bowl games and concerts such as Foo Fighters and Phish. ![]() The ticket prices for these events tend to be higher than most movies - the Shakespeare showings cost $15 in Connecticut - but people get to watch events they otherwise couldn’t have seen. With 3-D and live streaming, theaters can screen events in new ways, Corcoran said. More than half of all movie screens nationwide are now digital, said Patrick Corcoran, director of media and research for the National Association of Theatre Owners. The movement has gained more momentum in the last couple of years after more and more movie screens have been converted to digital. By 2010, that grew to 74 events in 600 theaters across the nation. By 2005, it was streaming 15 events per year. NCM first started offering alternative programming in 2002. “It was a challenge to generate awareness for this type of programming,” said Michelle Portillo, NCM Fathom spokeswoman. The NCM Fathom programming has included the ballet “Giselle” streamed in 3-D from Russia, four William Shakespeare plays streamed from London’s Globe Theatre, an opera series including “Madame Butterfly” from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, and live sporting events in 3-D such as soccer’s World Cup and the Wimbeldon tennis finals. Instead of targeting the same crowd during the week and hoping a few stragglers buy enough tickets, popcorn and soda to generate a profit, Connecticut’s cinemas are enticing new groups of people by screening events they could only see otherwise by traveling to far-off places.Ĭolorado-based National Cinemedia Fathom offers a variety of alternative programming to theaters around the nation, including the Buckland Hills 18 IMAX in Manchester, the Branford 12 Stadium, the Connecticut Post 14 Cinema De Lux in Milford, and the North Haven 12. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Griffin goes downstairs with his dad to hold a flashlight while his dad resets the breaker. When Griffin’s mom, Sarah, says the house isn’t haunted, the lights flicker and the power goes out. Griffin brings his new friend Harper back to the hotel with him and she shares the Savannah ghost story with the family. Savannah disappeared 30 years ago and is believed to be haunting the hotel. When he talks with a girl named Harper who shows him a picture of her, we see that it’s the same girl who was running in the woods at the start of the episode. The family just moved to Sulphur Springs from Chicago and his dad, Ben, bought the hotel because he visited it as a kid.Īt school, Griffin’s new classmates tell him that The Tremont is haunted by a blonde girl named Savannah. Their older brother Griffin, age 12, records his sister screaming and gleefully runs up to his room to put the video online. Inside, the girl’s name is Zoey and she and her twin brother Wyatt just moved in with the rest of the Campbell family. When a boy named Topher takes a peek, he sees a girl who screams and they all run away. Three kids sneak onto the front porch of the abandoned Tremont Hotel, daring each other to look inside. The show starts with a blond girl named Savannah running through the woods at night. Here’s a recap of everything that happened in the hour-long premiere episode, which is actually the first three episodes combined. With a TV-PG rating, the show is a big departure from the comedy landscape of Disney’s premiere cable network. Disney Channel’s Secrets of Sulphur Springs turned up the creepy factor with its super-sized premiere episode on January 15th. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In later parts of the story, for particularly significant battles (such as the finals in the Dark Tournament competition), he dresses up as a Bosozoku, an old-fashioned stereotypical Japanese biker thug. He also occasionally dons headbands, such as his "Fighting Headband of Love" when he set out to rescue Yukina. In several episodes, it can be seen that he preemptively binds his abs with bandages, much like a classic brawler. In the manga, he wore street clothes during Genkai's Tournament- including a baseball jersey inscribed with things like Motor Head and Iron Fist written on it. In the anime series, he wears his school uniform most of the time for the first few major parts of the story (in fact, for all of the first season and half of the second). While in school, he wears a light blue jumpsuit, in contrast with Yusuke's green one and the dark blue ones worn by rest of the male students in Sarayashiki Junior High. His overall appearance, as well as his dress sense, are likely a homage to the classic Japanese 'bad boy' mythology from the 1950s. ![]() Manga-exclusive outfit from the Genkai Tournament. He has an angular face with narrow gray eyes (revealed in The Cape of No Return), high cheekbones and a slender pointed nose. He has thick red-orange hair that is greased back into a pompadour-type hairstyle that is popular with delinquents. He is the tallest member of the team, standing at about six feet -making him very tall by Japanese standards, as this is considered well above average.

As a result, within a week of her arrival, she had gained permission to remove Helen from the main house and live alone with her in the nearby cottage. She saw the need to discipline, but not crush, the spirit of her young charge. The film correctly depicted Helen as an unruly, spoiled-but very bright-child who tyrannized the household with her temper tantrums.Īnne believed that the key to reaching Helen was to teach her obedience and love. Anne underwent many botched operations at a young age before her sight was partially restored.Īnne's success with Helen remains an extraordinary and remarkable story and is best known to people because of the film The Miracle Worker. She was just 14 years older than her pupil Helen, and she too suffered from serious vision problems. The daughter of poor Irish immigrants, she entered Perkins at 14 years of age after four horrific years as a ward of the state at the Tewksbury Almshouse in Massachusetts.

When Did Helen Keller Meet Anne Sullivan?Īs she so often remarked as an adult, her life changed on March 3, 1887. As Helen grew from infancy into childhood, she became wild and unruly. The family lost most of its wealth during the Civil War and lived modestly.Īfter the war, Captain Keller edited a local newspaper, the North Alabamian, and in 1885, under the Cleveland administration, he was appointed Marshal of North Alabama.Īt the age of 19 months, Helen became deaf and blind as a result of an unknown illness, perhaps rubella or scarlet fever.

One of the main signs that your transmission filter is clogged or needs to be replaced is if there’s an unexplained rattle. What Are The Symptoms Of A Bad Transmission Filter? It can be difficult to have control of your car if the transmission needs to be repaired or replaced. When there are signs that the transmission is failing and you continue to drive it, it’s at risk of shifting into another gear and lurching the vehicle forward, hitting the car in front of you. Unfortunately, it’s dangerous to continue driving a vehicle when it has a bad transmission, and it’s at risk of completely breaking. Even seemingly minor issues like running out of transmission fluid can cause the car to break down. If your transmission is bad, you can expect the vehicle to break down if you continue to drive around. What Happens When You Drive With A Bad Transmission? The bearing may seize and begin to fall apart, which can cause it to immediately fail at any time. If there’s a bad transmission bearing, you can expect the sounds to become louder to more you drive as the parts begin to wear down. If you have a manual transmission, the noises may be louder and harsher, with a clunking noise present. They may even sound like they’re whining at times as the car is in motion. In most cases, failing transmission creates humming and buzzing noises. What Does A Bad Or Failing Transmission Sound Like? A dragging clutch is another common sign the transmission needs attention when it fails to disengage the clutch. The vehicle may also start to shake as the transmission begins to grind when you change gears. There are even times it may slip out of a specific gear, which can put your safety at risk as you operate the vehicle. You may also notice a burning smell coming from the engine as the transmission starts to overheat. One of the main signs your transmission is failing is if it refuses to switch gears.

They have stronger Palisades in place of early access Walls, access to Knights starting in Age II, and Wooden Fortresses - improved Outposts - with unique technologies. The Rus’ powerful early game defense capabilities make them a commendable foe in early Ages. This contributes to the player’s Bounty total – as it increases, food harvest and Hunting Cabins’ gold rate also increase. With the Bounty system, players earn Gold when killing any animal on the map.

They may rely on earth-based equipment, such as telescopes, or on space-based equipment, such as probes, to collect data on celestial bodies. Astronomers observe objects within the universe, including planets, stars, and galaxies.

Lots of different types of scientists contribute to our understanding of space, including the ones described in this section.īLS projects about 8,600 job openings overall between 20 for astronomers, atmospheric and space scientists, and physicists. Regardless of their specialty, scientists whose work focuses on space help to answer questions about our universe. Scientists of all kinds usually specialize in a particular field-and those who work on space projects are no exception. Media and communications workers document the process to share the information with the public. Engineers might then design a product for those observations while working with technicians to make the product. For example, scientists may set a goal, such as being able to observe stars forming. Scientists, engineers, technicians, and media and communications workers often collaborate on projects. Space missions require workers in many different occupations.

The map shows the location of NASA employment in occupations related to space work. For example, space research and technology in Harris County, Texas-home of Johnson Space Center-employed 2,920 in March 2016, with average weekly wages of about $2,540. However, the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program publishes industry data by county.

And even though most of these workers never leave Earth, they are involved in the projects that do. NASA, the federal agency that specializes in air travel and space exploration, has about 17,000 workers. For example, the precision required to cut large mirrors for telescopes has improved laser eye surgery materials created to soften spacecraft landings were modified for radial tires and memory foam and research into solar-powered aircraft was adapted to improve solar cells for residential, commercial, and other uses. Many of the technologies developed to explore space have also resulted in innovations that benefit our everyday lives. “It’s important to answer questions like: How does the universe work? Why are we here? Are we alone?” says Maggie Masetti, a social media lead at NASA. For example, observations of tiny fluctuations in the light from distant stars helped scientists discover exoplanets orbiting in other solar systems. In many ways, space missions build on what the early astronomers learned, often with the same motivations. ![]() |
