![]() ![]() SeQuential Pacific sells glycerin and the industrial oil referred to as boiler fuel oil to local distributors. Just as Schnitzer Steel can make new rebar out of old girders and Nike can make a sharp-looking football shirt out of spent plastic bottles, our biodiesel is primarily a second-use product: It gives used cooking oil new life and provides added value as a fuel and even down to further byproducts. Used cooking oil is a raw material (in energy production, we call it feedstock), but it’s not so-called virgin material. We do not want to be part of a different problem, mowing down forests for agriculture or laying claim to crops that could feed people. This sequence - food first, then fuel - is essential to our business model. Some are suppliers, some are customers, and some are both. SeQuential Pacific is fortunate to work with other Oregon businesses that share our passion for sustainability, including Burgerville, New Seasons Market, Nike, Safeway, Roth’s Fresh Market and McMenamins. In fact, some on our customers may be eligible for rebates for every gallon of oil we collect. There is no cost for restaurants to recycle their oil with us. We have more than 7,000 suppliers throughout the region including businesses, schools, restaurants and hospitals. Our biodiesel is made from used cooking oil in the Pacific Northwest. These jobs would not exist if the valuable resource of used cooking oil were getting buried away in the ground. Our nearly 100 employees in these markets pick up used cooking oil from local suppliers or refine the oil at our plant in Salem or distribute it to our customers throughout Washington, Idaho, Oregon and soon northern California. We have hubs in Seattle, Portland, Salem, and Spokane, and serve the surrounding areas to cover the entire region. We were squatting in a gas station on Highway 30 in Portland, but we could see a promising future ahead and were able to hire our first employee. We established the first commercial biodiesel production facility in Oregon, only the second commercial biodiesel production facility in the Pacific Northwest. By 2004 we were able to launch SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel LLC, a joint venture with of Maui, Hawaii. Like a growing number of people, I was interested in keeping pollution out of the air, waste out of the landfills, and energy dollars closer to home.Īs in high-tech and craft brewing, two other industries dear to Oregonian’s hearts, early adopters came out of the woodwork, and their support and enthusiasm helped us refine our product. Biodiesel made from used cooking oil is significantly cleaner than petroleum diesel, emitting up to 78 percent less carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. On the demand side, motorists and delivery fleets were paying the owners of petroleum wells in distant countries to send them fuel from thousands of miles away.Īs an Oregonian, I liked the way the numbers played out in the world around me. On the supply side, restaurant owners were paying to have cooking oil disposed of, as trash. Our first and primary refueling station is in Eugene, just a few miles down the road from the U of O campus.Īs a business major vetting a business model, I liked the way the numbers added up. The Riverfront Innovation Center provided me with the facility, resources and time needed to research how to take the concept of locally produced biodiesel to the reality of SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel as a viable, profitable business. When I was exploring the potential opportunities in the biodiesel industry, just over 10 years ago, I was lucky enough to be able to do so through the University of Oregon entrepreneurial incubator project. Recently we closed another loop, as we signed a contract to recycle cooking oil from the concession stands operated by the University of Oregon Athletics department. This year we celebrated our 20 millionth gallon of fuel produced and are approaching 100 employees. My partners and I wanted to provide Oregonians with an economically viable alternative to fossil fuels while also building a business that would grow over time and provide jobs in the region.

![]() ![]() Practically speaking, what this means is the Band 2 can function well enough alone, but really demands a phone (Android, iOS, or Windows) to be in range and connected via Bluetooth. What separates the Apple Watch, Android Wear, and Microsoft Band wearables from devices like a Fitbit is that Microsoft designed the Band to be equally useful alternating between work and play. The Band 2 and your phone, working togetherĪ year back, I wrote a detailed analysis of what it is like to live with the Microsoft Band much of that holds true today. My medium Band 2 weighs 2.08 ounces, a little lighter than the 2.15-ounce Band. The clasp, which now houses the ultraviolet sensor, is a bit clunky but otherwise acceptable. Moving some of the battery to the Band 2 clasp (right) enlarged it, but not to the point of discomfort.īe wary, though, if you’re upgrading: Microsoft has resized the Band 2, so that a “medium” size that previously fit comfortably clasped about midway around my wrist now barely fits when tightened to its maximum. I will say that the previous Band triggered some sort of a smoldering allergic reaction that manifested itself over time, while the Band 2 hasn’t in the two weeks or so I’ve been using it. I never minded the “shoulders” that the Band 1’s flat display created, but it’s admittedly more comfortable to wear this time around.Īesthetically, the Band 2 looks lovely, with a “thermal plastic elastomer silicone vulcanite”-think rubber-strap gripping your wrist, accented by metal on the clasp and display. An upgraded CPU pushes smoother, slicker transitions across the screen. Its 0.5-by-1-inch display is an AMOLED touchscreen with a slightly higher resolution than before (320×128 pixels, compared to 320×106 in the original version). ![]() The curved display fits it a bit more snugly to your wrist.īut the Band 2 is lovely to look at. The Microsoft Band 2 (left) and the original Band. An improved fit and finish in the new Band 2īecause the Band 2 is so heavily text-centric in the way it displays information, I found only one effective way of wearing it: with the display over the inside of the wrist, like you’re Spider-Man, ready to fire your web-slingers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The all-new series is directed by Kari Skogland Malcolm Spellman is. Even clearer? The moment when Sam declares, “I’m Captain America. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) team up in a global adventure that tests their abilitiesand their patiencein Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. While it’s conceivably possible Chris Evans, who played the role in the first three films, could return as the all-American superhero in some capacity, this week’s season finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ends with a brand-new title, Captain America and the Winter Soldier, and that seems like a pretty clear indication of where the franchise is headed. While there’s no official word as to who will play the good Captain, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier clearly sets up Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson as the new heir to the title. And if you don’t want to read spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, bail out of this post now! Spellman will reportedly write the screenplay alongside Falcon staff writer Dalan Musson. Falcon and Winter Soldier’s new Captain America costume has deep meaning - Polygon Marvel TV Comics Falcon had strong words for Captain America fans in his Marvel finale Can there. Per THR, Marvel is reportedly developing Captain America 4, with a screenplay in the works from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier creator and head writer Malcolm Spellman. ![]() That’s how Marvel sees it, anyway, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio already has the patriotic superhero’s next adventure in their sights. While Steve may have the skills, tactics, and moral center that all makes him a more effective Captain America, John Walker is just plain stronger than his counterpart.As long as there’s an America, it’s going to need a Captain. In the aftermath of Thanos defeat, Falcon lamented. The finale of Marvel's The Falcon & The Winter Soldier saw Falcon officially becoming the next Captain America, though it was pretty different in the comics for a few reasons. While Tony Starks death made everyones eyes water but Captain Americas ending was poignant as well. The only way that Steve is ever able to counter Walker in pure combat is with genuine skill, as this aspect ends up always being the key edge that allows Captain America to overcome most threats that technically out-power him.ĭuring that encounter, Steve even noted to himself that punching Walker was like smashing his hands against a brick wall, leaving them swollen from just how durable Walker really is. Updated In Marvel Comics, Falcon's transition into becoming the next Captain America was substantially different for more than a couple of reasons. But instead of slowing down Walker in the slightest, this merely wrecks the car and leaves Walker angry. new statue, Captain America Sam Wilson (Complete Version) - Falcon and the Winter Soldier - Legacy Replica 1/4, Marvels new sentinel of liberty. During that fight, Captain America is able to deflect blows from Walker - at this point known as Super-Patriot - and throw him into a car. Whenever the two have come to blows - such as in Captain America #327 by Mark Gruenwald, Paul Neary, John Beatty, Diana Albers, and Ken Feduniewicz - it becomes apparent quickly just how strong John Walker really when compared to Steve Rogers. ![]() |
