Chloe Na says she studied every day for several hours ahead of the 2019 Scripps National Spelling Bee.“Trying to be well-rounded and make it through the dictionary,” she says of her strategy during the competition. One word the 12-year-old girl from Valencia, California is already familiar with: perseverance.When Na was in D.C., she received some heartbreaking news. Her grandfather, one of her biggest fans, died from a heart condition.“I think he would be proud,” she says. “He was always there to support us for every spelling bee.”Na’s mother, Denise, says the family decided to stay and compete, because they know that’s what Na’s grandfather would have wanted.“He was very excited. He would text me, call me, when we were taking about the Spelling Bee, so I’m happy he got the good news,” Denise Na says.While Na did not end up making it to the finals, she’s proud of what she accomplished and happy the pressure is off. Until next year that is.“I’m gonna practice again in a few months,” Na says. “I’m not gonna start right now, and I’m gonna try to do the nationals next year.”It’s an outlook she hopes will make her grandfather proud. 1157

DENVER, Colo. – Since 1995, films like “Toy Story” have become a staple in homes around the world, but what goes into making one film is more than you could imagine. It’s not just art. Science and technology play a big role.Ka-Chun Yu is a curator for the traveling Pixar exhibit being housed at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.“I think when people hear a movie is made using a computer you push a button and something magical happens where the movie pops out on the other end,” said Yu. “But it actually takes an immense amount of work to make an animated film.”There are story boards, modeling and rigging. With rigging it allows animators to move characters’ body parts more freely and make them more realistic.Another part of the pipeline is simulation. “In ‘Brave,’ Merida’s hair took a lot of work in order to make it look realistic, having it looking springy but not so unrealistic that it did weird things when they animated it.”Lighting is also a big part. It creates mood and determines day or night. However, in the movie “Finding Nemo,” different lighting colors like yellow were used to make the fish appear to be swimming closer to the surface. Using dark blue makes it look like deep water.Then, there is rendering. In the movie “Coco,” a single frame could take up to 89 hours to render.“The reason it takes so long is partly because of all the lights involved, so you are looking at all the lights bouncing off all the characters and reaching the virtual camera,” said Yu.We learned the production of an animated film can take anywhere between 6 to 18 months, but the entire movie from start to finish can take 2 to 7 years to make. A traditional Hollywood film on average takes less than 2 years to complete.The next Pixar movie to hit theaters will be “Onward.” It’s set to be released in March 2020. Now, you will be able to appreciate how it all comes to life. 1901

DEER PARK, Texas — A fire burning at a petrochemical storage facility in suburban Houston could burn for two more days as firefighters take a defensive posture and let the blaze burn through fuel stored in tanks at the site, officials said Monday.Ray Russell, spokesman for Channel Industries Mutual Aid, which is helping in the response, said firefighters have had "pretty good success controlling the fire" and stopping it from spreading to other tanks. The tanks that are burning contain gas, oil and chemicals, according to Intercontinental Terminals Company, which owns the facility.In one tank, Russell said, crews are working to pump out a flammable liquid to deprive the fire of fuel. Even with that effort, the fire could burn until Wednesday, he said.A column of black smoke rose from the plant, but the city of Deer Park and ITC said tests indicated the air was not dangerous as of late Monday morning. Schools in Deer Park and La Porte were shut down as testing continues.The cause of the fire remains under investigation.Asked whether the result of air-quality tests could be released to the media, ITC spokeswoman Alice Richardson said they had already been provided to city officials and she would check on whether she could share them with reporters.A private air monitoring contractor declared the readings "favorable," Deer Park's Office of Emergency Management said just before noon (1 p.m. ET). The latest results indicate "no detections during the latest reporting period exceeded recommended action levels," the office said.Low levels of "particulate matter" were detected early Monday, the company said, and "a single, volatile organic compound detection has been found 6 miles southwest of the facility. These readings are currently well below hazardous levels."ITC reported the fire began in a single tank on Sunday afternoon and spread to a second tank. Richardson told reporters that firefighters were using foam in their efforts to douse the blaze and they were hoping that once the fire was contained, they could close the tank valves and the fire would put itself out.By Monday morning, seven of the Deer Park facility's 242 tanks were involved in the fire, and the blaze spread to an eighth tank before 5:30 a.m., the company said.Later, however, David Wascome, ITC's vice president of terminal operations, said only seven tanks were affected and that one of the tanks originally cited was empty. The fire is confined to an area containing 15 tanks, he said."Although the risk of explosion is minimal, we continue to take precautions to further reduce this possibility," the company said.One tank stores naphtha, another contains xylene, the latest to catch fire contains toluene and the others hold "gas blend stocks used in the production of finished gasoline, and base oil commonly used as machine lubricants," ITC said.The tank containing the naphta, which is highly flammable, was the one being pumped, the company said.Xylene is a solvent that occurs naturally in petroleum, and swallowing or breathing the substance can cause death, while nonlethal exposure can cause eye, nose, throat and skin irritation, among other maladies, 3178
