Review or Author Interview. Leaving Everything Most Loved : The bestselling inter-war mystery series Writer Amazon Second Chance Pass it on, trade it in, give it a second life. Especially towards the end of the book. I received a copy of this book to review. The President's Daughter. Very much in the style readers are accustomed to with a Maisie Dobbs novel but I think some of the story lines were Never thought I'd rate a Jacqueline Winspear book a 3 but there were so many confusing moments that I came away wondering what happened. The mystery aspect was just ok. Not one to make plans in haste, Maisie is still thinking about when and how she will wind up her business. As Maisie investigates, all manner of possible suspects present themselves. But Maisie Dobbs is always progressive and ahead of her time and this series of books is always a good read. Her office assistant, Billy, still is suffering from injuries received in a prior case and her secretary, Sandra, develops into more of an assistant. I am considerably annoyed.

Ines Pedrosa, In Your Hands , about three generations of Portuguese women who fight oppression, beginning in during Salazar's authoritarian regime, into the present. It is and the darkening cloud of yet another war is already apparent to many but not most.

  • The Thinking Behind a Planned Gulf Coast Ethylene
    2323 South Shepherd Drive, Suite 1010 Houston, Texas 77019 OFFICE 888-613-8874 FAX 713-391-8421 Drive My Car - The Thinking Behind A Planned Gulf Coast Ethylene-To- Alkylate Project Thursday, 01/16/2020 Published by: Housley Carr For a few years now, the Shale Revolution has been opening up development opportunities hardly anyone would have thought possible in the Pre-Shale Era. For example, new crude oil, natural gas and NGL pipelines from the Permian to the Gulf Coast, lots of new fractionators and steam crackers, as well as export terminals for crude, LNG, LPG, ethane and, most recently, ethylene. And here’s another. Thanks to the combination of NGL production growth and new ethylene supply — plus increasing demand for alkylate, an octane-boosting gasoline blendstock — the developer of a novel ethylene-to-alkylate project along the Houston Ship Channel has reached a Final Investment Decision (FID). Today, we discuss how the FID is driven by both supply-side and demand-side trends in the NGL and fuels markets. As Rusty Braziel said in “The Domino Effect,” his book on the Shale Revolution, energy markets over the past few years have been characterized by an interconnected sequence of developments that have together propelled the U.S. crude oil, natural gas and NGL sectors into an extraordinary new era of abundance. Examples of the knock-on effects of the flourish caused by plentiful drill-bit hydrocarbons abound, but one that caught our eye in recent weeks is Next Wave Energy Partners’ (NWEP) FID on its planned 28-Mb/d ethylene-to-alkylate plant in Pasadena, TX.
