Rotary Rocket has developed a spacecraft called Roton which uses a propeller. There are a number of companies like Rotary Rocket which aim to use the commercial satellite launch market as an opportunity, and there has been a trend toward developing reusable, light launch vehicles. The Roton is designed in such a way that incremental testing is possible. The company has to raise funds for what is a gamble both in terms of technology and finance.
Bill Gates and Craig McCaw hope to develop a wireless network that uses satellites for personal computer communication. The idea is ambitious as satellites historically do not allow the room that computers would require for communication, and the satellites would work like cellular phone ones.
The latest technological advance in news reporting is the video satellite phone, which is bringing tremendous freedom to journalists covering the US military action against Afghanistan. This technology could severely limit the power of censors.

UK's first 'Carbon Battle Bus' announced to support all businesses in meeting net zero carbon targets
An ambitious Zero Carbon UK Tour, organised by sustainability certification Planet Mark, was announced today during an online event attended by The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman William Russell. The tour will start virtually in May before hitting the road for live events in the UK's first fully electric Carbon Battle Bus, launching in June, and culminating at COP26 in Glasgow in November.
The UK has set a net zero carbon target for 2050. While 45 per cent of FTSE 100 companies have committed to achieving net zero by 2050 or sooner, only 16 per cent have a plan on how they will achieve it (Source: Ecoact, 2020). Other FTSE companies require support to address the knowledge gap, helping to ensure that widespread net zero carbon commitments are rolled out alongside robust and credible plans for organisations of all sizes.
Planet Mark's eight-month tour aims to address this by taking the net zero carbon message to communities across the UK in support of the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign, the world's largest alliance of actors committed to halving global emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. It will highlight how businesses can set their own credible net zero carbon targets in line with Race to Zero's rigorous minimum criteria and implement plans to achieve them.
The virtual tour will take place fortnightly from May, while the Carbon Battle Bus will take to the road in June at the Eden Project in Cornwall, where Planet Mark's journey began in 2013, to coincide with the G7 summit (11-13 June). The Carbon Battle Bus, which is fully electric and will be charged en route, will then travel to London with a series of zero carbon events along the way.
The final leg of the tour will visit farms, schools and trading estates on the road north to COP26 in Glasgow, where Planet Mark will highlight and celebrate the steps taken by the business community in tackling carbon. Additional routes may be added throughout the summer.
The physical stop-offs during the tour will provide everything a business needs to know to go net zero through free-to-attend carbon clinics as well as paid-for Net Zero Essentials workshops, which will give participants the tools and knowledge to join Race to Zero with a robust net zero target and an action plan to support it. The tour will also include press events and networking opportunities to help support businesses to get started on their sustainability journeys.
The tour website, https://tour.planetmark.com, will display an interactive digital map, which will plot the route of the virtual and physical journey and enable booking onto local events. The website will also include links to book participation in tour events. It will incorporate a pledge wall, where businesses can display their commitments to reaching zero carbon emissions.
Planet Mark enables companies to make year on year carbon reductions, unlocking huge business benefits in the process, from increased efficiencies and reduced costs to attracting and retaining the best talent.
Steve Malkin, CEO and founder of Planet Mark, says, "This is a key moment in time, and we are aiming to give energy and impetus to the urgency of tackling the climate crisis. By embarking on our 'Zero Carbon Tour', we want to accelerate information and action to enable businesses to set zero carbon targets and implement achievable steps to deliver them. Net zero brings more urgency and more opportunity for organisations to work together to tackle the climate crisis. In doing so, they are publicly demonstrating their commitments that they are organisations and brands that are here to support society and our transition to net zero. It's an exciting time of innovation and action with the goal of a cleaner, healthier planet within our reach."
He adds, "COP26 is incredibly important, as it places the UK at the forefront of decarbonisation to address the urgent and immediate requirement to take action for the good of society and our planet. Aligned with this, Planet Mark is supporting the United Nations 'Race to Zero' campaign as part of the Government's aim to sign up over a hundred thousand businesses to this initiative. Change is in our hands and we want this tour to communicate that as businesses and individuals, together we are empowering change for a brighter future. With enough ambition and active collaboration, now is the time to solve one of the most pressing challenges we face as a generation."
The partner organisations and associations for the tour and the grand finale at COP26 include Institute of Directors (IoD), Business in the Community, CHAS, Eden Project, Fully Charged (media partners), The Royal Warrant Holders Association, Octopus Energy, HTA, Heart of the City, Global (media and digital member), Meaningful Business, Garden Centre Association, Westway Coaches, Arrival and COBIS.

Q: Intervals of definition of ODE solutions In this exercise I've to find the intervals in which solutions of differential equations (with separable variables) are defined. If I got it right, I must look at the constant solution of $y(x)$, then if I have to divide for $x$ or $y(x)$ I must impose them different from $0$
But in these equations for example
$1)$ $(1+x)y'=y+1$
$2)$ $y'=-\frac{x^{3}}{(y+1)^{2}}$
Do I have to impose in the first $x\neq -1$, $y\neq -1$ and in the second $y\neq -1$, $x\neq 0$ ?
Because the solutions
$1)$ $y(x)=C(x+1)-1$
$2)$ $y(x)= \sqrt[3]{C-\frac{3x^{2}}{4}} -1$
Are well defined for $x=0$ or $x=1$
Besides that in this other case
$3)$ $y'y(e^{x}+1)=e^{x}$
My book says that $y\neq 0$ but I don't understand why since to solve it is not necessary to divide for $y$
I have a similar problem with
$4)$ $y' y= x+1$
In this case if I substitute $y=0$ I find $x=-1$, again it is not necessary to divide for $y$ but I can rewrite the equation as $y'=\frac{x+1}{y}$ and then of course it must be $y\neq 0$.
I can't understand if the solution will meet the x axis or not
Thanks for your help

A: Let's treat each question separately.
As to 1): you're absolutely right that the solution $y(x) = C(x+1) -1$ is well defined at $x = -1$, in which case $y = -1$. But that immediately shows the 'problem': there is no freedom to choose an initial condition for $x = -1$, since the free constant $C$ drops out. Another way of looking at this is that every solution, whatever initial condition you choose (generally at $t=0$, where $y(0) = C-1$), goes through the point $(x,y) = (-1,-1)$. In other words, the derivative $y'$ is not defined there. That's also clear from the ODE: you can choose any value you wish for $y'(-1)$, and the equation is still satisfied at $(x,y) = (-1,-1)$. So, in principle, you could construct a function by pasting together any solution of your choice for $x<-1$ and any other solution for $x > -1$, and that function (which then probably has a 'kink' at $(x,y) = (-1,-1)$, so is not differentiable there) would still satisfy the ODE everywhere. To conclude: you lose uniqueness. Of course, if you demand that your solution is differentiable everywhere, so in particular at $x = -1$, then the solution is unique.
At the second problem, for $x = 0$, it follows from the differential equation that $y'(0) = 0$ for every solution (you can also check this using the explicit solution formula you found). Is that a problem? Not really, it only tells you that every solution has an extremum at $x=0$. However, at $y=-1$, something does go wrong. From the differential equation, you see that at that point the derivative $y'$ is not defined. Moreover, you see that the closer you get to $y=-1$, the larger $y'$ gets.
This can also be seen from the explicit solution form. Whatever initial condition you choose, i.e. whatever value of $C$ you put in, there are always two $x$-values where the square root vanishes, at $x_{\pm} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{4}{3} C}$. For values larger than $x_+$ or smaller than $x_-$, the square root is not real (or doesn't exist anymore). So the solution only exists in the interval $(x_-,x_+)$, and at the end points of the interval we have $y = -1$. Other than in case 1), you can't continue after the singular point.
In the third problem, it's easy to see why $y$ can't be zero. Try it: if you substitute $y=0$ in the differential equation, you end up with
\begin{equation}
0 = e^x,
\end{equation}
and this equation cannot be satisfied for any $x$. Indeed, if you solve the equation, you'll see that no solution attains the value $y=0$ for any $x$, whatever the initial condition / choice of the free parameter.

First, keep the business cards as they were originally collected (mine are in groups according to the days I spoke to the people) and write any additional notes on the back of each card soon, while it's still fresh in your mind. You might even want to write down when and where you talked to the person, so that you can refer to it during your initial contact with them.
Think about your strategy for following up, and organize the business cards accordingly. Are there some contacts you feel that are more pressing than the others? Did you make several different types of contacts? The categorization will be specific to your objectives for the conference. Also consider whether any upcoming business trips would be merited. For example, if you made many contacts in Boston, you can tentatively plan a trip there, and mention it in the email to your new Boston contacts.
Before emailing to your new contacts, make sure that your email signature contains all of the information needed to contact you, as well as a link to your website. Make it as easy as possible for them to evaluate your value proposition by including targeted links or small attachments.
The LinkedIn online network is a great way to connect to people and to simultaneously show them your professional experience and network. However, you cannot send attachments in the LinkedIn invitation emails, and not everyone uses it. To get around this, you can include a link to your LinkedIn profile in your email text or signature, and those who use it are likely to follow the link and add you as a connection.
Short boilerplate paragraphs in the text of your email are fine, to describe your value proposition. Just be sure to personalize the email wherever possible by mentioning their needs, and ways you see that you can help them.
Close with an indication that you will follow up with a phone call. That way, if it appears that they have ignored the email, you can still have one more chance to make a connection. Remember also that connections may not be fruitful immediately, and be patient.


The Dim Sum Diaries | El Nudo – an Argentinian private kitchen | "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."
Private kitchens are something you don't hear of quite as frequently as you used to in Hong Kong. They are, however, if you look for them, still around and can be found in the most unlikely of places, but perhaps they are indeed becoming more "private". Having heard rumours about an Argentinian private kitchen a while back, I only recently, through word of mouth, managed to track down El Nudo Private Kitchen and put it to the test.
El Nudo, which means 'the knot' in Spanish, was started by professional tennis coach Roberto Cahiza. It actually started off as a wine business with his cousin, following a trip to his native Mendoza. Yet, obviously, good wine goes hand in hand with good food, which led to the beginning of the private kitchen concept. The name pays tribute to Roberto's grandmother and her love of knitting and cooking. If you have a look at the bottle of El Nudo Malbec, it features sweet little sketches of rocking chairs, knitting needles and tea cups to represent Roberto's Nona Ana.
El Nudo is an experience that takes place on Roberto's spacious rooftop in Happy Valley. This is the kind of location that makes most outdoor-space-starved folk, such as I, incredibly envious. After a hike up six flights of stairs, seeing the rooftop dressed in cute hanging lights, with a huge barbecue gearing up in the corner, you're bound to be hungry for a true Argentinian feast!
Whilst we waited for all 17 of our party to arrive, we stood around drinking wine (no corkage on BYO) and sampled some of Roberto's homemade empanadas. Whilst I rate the empanadas at Gaucho and Buenos Aires Polo Club, neither restaurant offers the kind of delicate, flaky, oven-baked pastry that I love about Argentinian empanadas, and that El Nudo absolutely nailed! These were stuffed full of beautifully flavoured minced beef and I would have eaten five of them if I'd had the chance; unfortunately, there was only enough for one each, but then I didn't anticipate the amount of food that was still to come!
Once we were seated on the cosy sheepskin-lined chairs (these probably wouldn't be too appealing during summer!), we were served piping hot skillets of provoleta straight from the grill with sliced baguette and homemade chimichurri. There is nothing quite like grilled, melted, perfectly gooey cheese… Other than the crispy bits that build up on the side of the skillet, of course!
Following this, we were served platters of grilled chorizo and mollejas (sweetbread), which again went down a treat paired with the chimichurri, although admittedly the sweetbread wasn't to everyone's liking.
Obviously the main event of any Argentinian feast is steak, steak and more steak. Roberto sources his steak from Argentina, so it is 100% grass-fed and 100% delicious. He served us a selection of ribeye, striploin and tenderloin, all cooked to a perfect medium-rare. Each had its own unique flavour and texture, making it hard to pick a favourite, but I'd probably choose the ribeye if I absolutely had to. The steak was beautiful on its own, but I couldn't resist smothering it in yet more chimichurri. Sides of grilled vegetables and salads made us feel a little bit better about ourselves but ultimately took up stomach space that was better filled with steak!
Once our plates were cleared, Roberto had a little surprise for us: the volume of the music was turned up and four Tango dancers began to dance across the rooftop, supporting the theme of the evening. Apparently this doesn't happen for every dinner party – perhaps it helped that my co-host is one of Roberto's pupils!
The meal ended with a beautifully light and silky crème caramel served with whipped cream and, upon leaving, we were each given a pot of delicious dulce de leche to take home…although some people may have eaten theirs straight out of the pot right there and then…!
Dinner at El Nudo costs $680 per person. The menu may be simple, but it is what one would expect to have at a typical Argentinian parrillada with good friends. The setting is unique, the quality of the food excellent and Roberto's wine – if you get the chance to try some – is fantastic. He will accommodate groups of between seven to 18 people on Friday and Saturday evenings only, so grab your friends and get booking!
The full address will be given on confirmation of the booking.

The new face of apartheid: J. Kenneth Hackwell's Ohio
By Bob Fitrakis Posted by Rob Kall (about the submitter) (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments
The most unprincipled and opportunistic man in the history of Ohio, Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, stands poised to claim the Republican primary for governor. Blackwell and his far-right theocratic "rapture-ready" Christian dominionists will doom the Buckeye State to further despair.
It should come as no surprise that the Free Press is the only newspaper in Ohio willing to out Blackwell for appearing before white supremacists in the secretive Council on National Policy. Blackwell understands power; he understands that there's plenty of money in putting a black face on the new politics of high-tech Jim Crow. Blackwell also understands that in order for his strategy to succeed, he must convince a significant number of black ministers to join him in his open bigotry against gays and lesbians.
This is simply the old apartheid politics of divide and conquer. Blackwell wants to rule the new Buckeye State Bantu stand.
Blackwell's recent trip to Cleveland to appear before members of the United Pastors Mission at the Antioch Baptist Church seemed to be scripted by Karl Rove. Blackwell - the notorious co-chair of the Bush-Cheney Re-election Committee, who was shameless and blatant in his partisan suppression of minority and poor voters while mugging for the camera and claiming he was just like "Gandhi and King" - told the big lie. He blamed the suppression on black voters in Columbus on the likeable but lame William Anthony, Chair of the Franklin County Democratic Party and the County Board of Elections.
So distressed was Anthony that the Franklin County Dems actually issued a stinging rebuke entitled, "Blackwell Breaks the Ten Commandments." Anthony understated the obvious when he called Blackwell's outrageous lie a "deceitful misdirection."
"Franklin County and many other counties throughout the state did not have nearly enough voting machines because Ken Blackwell mismanaged the HAVA-implementation process from the start. The only HAVA funds spent in Franklin County during 2004 was Gene Pierce's no-bid contract. No HAVA money was spent on voting machines," the Franklin County Democratic Party charged.
In a separate letter, Anthony, who has been more reluctant to criticize Ken Blackwell than Franklin County Board of Elections Director, Republican Matt Damschroder, wrote: "I will be the first to concede that Franklin County had a woefully inadequate amount of voting machines for the type of voter turnout we experienced in 2004"Boards of Elections throughout Ohio were at your mercy while waiting for your office to create and implement a coherent strategy to approve HAVA-compliant vendors and then allocate funding to counties to purchase new voting machines."
Anthony accused Blackwell of invoking the race card: "I find it particularly odious and offensive that you insist on singling me out because I am a black man. You have used my race to publicly attack me before (on a nationally broadcast program), but now I am demanding that you cease and desist."
"I refuse to allow you to use me as a stalking horse to deflect criticism away from your actions as Secretary of State, especially as you attempt to court African American voters in your gubernatorial race," Anthony wrote.
Republican Damschroder recently confirmed to the Free Press that it was Blackwell who directed that the votes of 356 people who were at the right precinct, but were wrongly given a provisional ballot by pollworkers, were not counted in the 2004 election. Two-thirds of these were in the inner city among poor and minority voters.
Hamilton County Board of Election documents obtained by the Free Press and analyzed by Dr. Richard Hayes Phillips, as part of an ongoing Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism (CICJ) investigation of the 2004 presidential election, indicate that 95.12% of the 3,342 rejected provisional ballots in that county came from the city of Cincinnati. Only 34% of Hamilton County voters, and virtually all African American voters, were from the city, where Kerry received 68% of the vote. The white suburbs constituting 66% of all the county voters, and where Bush received 64% of the vote, only had 5% of provisional ballots rejected. Blackwell's directive for counting provisional ballots had a disparate impact on African American voters, when he ordered all Boards of Elections for the first time in Ohio history to only count votes that were in the right precinct, even if the voter was at the right polling site.
In Lucas County, newly obtained data indicates the massive racist nature of the voter challenges in the city of Toledo. There were 930 challenged voters in Lucas County, 810 of them were from Toledo. While only 62% of all the voters were from Toledo, where Kerry received 68% of the vote, 87% of the challenged voters came from the city. The greatest number of challenged voters in Toledo came from four predominantly African American wards, where Kerry received 86% of the vote. While these four wards constituted only 7.8% of all Toledo voters, fully 40% of all the challenges were in these wards. Blackwell's record of presiding over one of the most racist elections in U.S. history has helped propel him into a reported 11 point lead in the Republican primary for governor in a recent Dispatch poll.
Even with that lead, Blackwell's not taking any chances. In another frightening and blatantly partisan move, Blackwell, who personally negotiated the deal with Diebold for new machines in 47 of Ohio's 88 counties, has ordered that all the access cards to the notoriously hackable e-voting machines be centralized in his office. With the May 2 primary looming, Blackwell issued a directive ordering all computer access cards to be sent to him before the primary "so the security codes can be changed," according to the Columbus Dispatch. Even Republicans are critical of this undemocratic power grab. Linda S. Stutz, a Republican and Director of the Van Wert County Board of Elections, told the Dispatch, "I just feel very strongly there's a problem here."
Let's see. A well-known criminal with no respect for democracy seizing all the access cards just prior to the primary? No wonder the Secretary of State is known as J. Kenneth Hackwell in the voting rights community.

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."

First Preview of Yara Shahidi in Stan Lee's 'Alliances' Event Series (Exclusive)
Stacy Lambe
Entertainment Tonight June 24, 2019
The 19-year-old actress is the star and narrator of Stan Lee's 'Alliances: A Trick of Light.'
Yara Shahidi is no stranger to making bold moves.
Since her film debut opposite Eddie Murphy, she's gone on to play young Olivia Pope on Scandal, star in her own Black-ish spinoff, Grown-ish, earn adoration from Oprah Winfrey, make a cameo in Drake's "Nice for What" music video, and even interview Hillary Clinton for Teen Vogue. Her latest project is no different.
The 19-year-old actress is the star and narrator of Stan Lee's Alliances: A Trick of Light, an Audible event series co-created by Luke Lieberman, Ryan Silbert and Stan Lee and co-written by Kat Rosenfield and Lee, prior to the comic book legend's death in 2018.
This epic new adventure introduces listeners to a mysterious young woman, Nia, whose fate becomes intertwined with a Midwestern teenager, Cameron Ackerson, after his quest for YouTube stardom takes him to the Great Lakes Triangle. There, he comes across the power to see and hear a new reality. Nia and Cameron then conspire to create a better online universe, dishing out justice big and small. However, they soon cross paths with an organization called OPTIC, which proves problematic for the duo. Meanwhile, humanity's very existence is threatened by an imperiling force of galactic proportions.
"The power to change changes everything," Shahidi is heard saying in ET's exclusive audio teaser for the series.
"I'm honored to help bring to life Stan Lee's Alliances: A Trick of Light," Shahidi said in a statement. "This project has allowed me to dive deeper into a world of imagination created for us by Stan Lee, whose stories seem to always transcend time."
Extending praise to their star, Lieberman and Silbert said that "at its heart, A Trick of Light is about the need for human connection and the power that comes from youth-led action and discovery of collective purpose. Yara embodies all of that and more. Her thoughtful social engagement and passion for science and technology echoes so much of what Stan was aiming for in this new universe. We can't wait for Yara to present this story to the world."
Stan Lee's Alliances: A Trick of Light is available for download exclusively from Audible on June 27.

"Linus and Lucy"
Today is Charles Schultz's birthday; he would've been 90. He died about a week after his final original Peanuts strip appeared in the papers, and as sad as I was at the news, I thought it was rather fitting. Peanuts was a masterpiece–a witty, charming, funny, existential portrait of America over the course of fifty years. I grew up reading Peanuts, loving and laughing at and identifying with Charlie Brown and his friends. It shaped a great deal of both the cynicism and optimism I have about the world.
No, Charles Schultz was not a musician, but he has forever been linked with one of the finest jazz musicians ever to grace the world. Vince Guaraldi played other music beside this (my dad is a big fan of "Cast Your Fate to the Wind"), but "Linus and Lucy" will be the one piece he is always associated with. It is one of the most iconic, recognizable songs. Ever. That should tell you something about the influence of Charles Schultz and Peanuts. And A Charlie Brown Christmas.
It's sometimes referred to as the Peanuts theme, it's so attached to the comic strip. It was first heard in the 1965 Christmas special on CBS, but originally, Guaraldi composed the music for a proposed TV documentary about Peanuts and its creator. That documentary was either never aired or never produced (I can't remember which), but "Linus and Lucy" was used as part of Guaraldi's score for A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was annual viewing at my house. I'm pretty sure my father ignored everything about it except the music, but the rest of us loved it. My mom was the one who introduced me to Peanuts. My brother and I would both read her seemingly endless collection of books. Seeing them come to life on TV was special. To this day, I cry whenever I see it. I like the blend of humor and sentimentality, with just the right dash of spirituality and humanity that reminds us that everyone just "needs a little love."

A Double Dose of Birthday Goodness!
4 thoughts on ""Linus and Lucy""
This Charlie Brown music makes me think of the birthday party my dad had for my baby sister when she was five or six. There were all these little kids scampering about and my dad had jazz music playing the whole time. I thought Hey this is like the Peanuts kids…
I love this song so…

That scene where they're all dancing to this song is just so damn cute! I'll bet your sister's party looked just like that.
Thank you for post this… "Linus and Lucy" is my favorite song from the special, it always brings back warm memories.
You're welcome. It brings back some pretty happy memories for me, too.


Have your done a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment? What about a full scope HIPAA Security/Privacy Risk Assessment?
Do you know a risk assessment is the first thing the Feds will ask for in an OCR audit and may also be required should litigation be brought against the organization?
I will show how to conduct a PROPER risk assessment point by point and how to also avoid scams in the market. We will also be discussing the absolute importance of doing a risk assessment and that this is the first thing the OCR will ask for. I will instruct the listeners on how to write proper policies and procedures which are to be based upon the findings of the risk assessment and how to word the policies to satisfy the Fed. We will also discuss the importance of having policies which are consistent with your procedures and also discuss the negative ramification of cookie cutter templates in the eyes of the Federal government.

New York Rangers 2022 Draft Recap
Natasha Girshin
The 2022 NHL entry draft was an eventful one for the New York Rangers bringing in six new selections. The team selecting three centers, two wingers, and a defenseman with their picks.
Adam Sykora
Adam Sykora (5'10 – 172 lbs) from Nitra, Slovakia was the Ranger's first pick, being chosen 63rd overall in the second round, and made a great first impression with the media. He had a grin from ear-to-ear thrilled to be chosen by the Rangers. When asked for the player he models his game after, Sykora said, "I really like Brad Marchand because he's a rat and he's not scared of [bigger players], I try to play that way."
Sykora, 17, recorded 10 goals and 17 points in 46 games with Nitra. The forward added two goals in five games for Slovakia at the 2021-22 Hlinka Gretzky Cup. He describes himself as a high-energy player that doesn't hold back against opponents. He demonstrates good speed, physical strength, and some scoring ability.
Bryce McConnell-Barker
Via the Alexander Georgiev trade to Colorado, the Rangers gained Bryce McConnell-Barker (6'1 – 194 lbs) 97th overall in the third round. McConnell-Barker, 18, from Soo Greyhounds, Ontario Hockey League (OHL), picked up 23 goals and 49 points in 68 games in the OHL. He added another 5 points in 10 playoff contests. The Rangers get a big kid who plays both sides of the puck well and looks to Patrice Bergeron as a model for his game. "I'm a two-way centerman and I work really hard all over the ice," McConnell-Barker said, "I am good defensively but I can produce offensively by putting the puck in the net and making some plays too."
Noah Laba
Via the Brett Howden trade to Vegas, the Rangers received Noah Laba (6'1 – 181 lbs) 111th overall in round four from Lincoln Stars, United States Hockey League (USHL). Laba, 18, is committed to play at Colgate University after registering 39 points in 50 games with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL. The scouting reports have him as a power-forward that's difficult to play against.
Vittorio Mancini
Drafted in the fifth round 159th overall the Rangers acquired defender Vittorio Mancini (6'3 – 215 lbs) from Omaha, Nebraska NCAA. Mancini, 20, played 38 games in the NCAA picking up 5 points and also spent time with Frolunda in Sweden. "He's a player that when I was in Toronto we watched and liked," Director of Scouting John Lilley said. "He's a good defensive minded player that's big. A high character young man."
Maxim Barbashev
Also via the Georgiev trade to Colorado, the Rangers drafted Maxim Barbashev (6'1 – 183 lbs) 161st overall in round five from the Moncton Wildcats, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).
Barbashev, 18, is the younger brother of the Blues' Ivan Barbashev. This past season, he notched 42 points in 59 games with the Wildcats. The Rangers are getting another physical forward that can put pucks on net "It's my brother because we play the same hockey," Maxim answered a question on who he models his game after. "I am physical player that's strong on the puck."
Zakary Karpa
Lastly, the Rangers drafted Zakary Karpa (6'2 – 188 lbs) 191st overall in round six from Harvard University, NCAA. Karpa, 20, is the son of former Ranger Dave Karpa. This past season he registered 12 points in 33 contests. Karpa is yet another physical forward that isn't afraid to mix it up.
Through these picks, the Rangers have a solid center line and have plenty of power forwards and steady defensemen to shake things up. When these draft picks emerge in the following seasons, the Rangers will have a steadily growing advantage against top class NHL teams.

Apple Barn Coaster Set | #278 | The Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store, Inc.
This set of four coasters displays the artwork of Smoky Mountain artist Lee Roberson. His work, "How Bout Them Apples" features an Apple Barn basket filled with red apples. These are AbsorbaStone coasters that have a porous surface that aborbs drips before they reach the bottom of your glass or your furniture.


Phillip Espinoza Day is Forecast's seventh annual Mid-Career Project Grant. Previous grant awardees include Sam Gould, Marcus Young, Seitu Jones, Mankwe Ndosi, Melisande Charles, and Randy Walker. "Mid-career" artists are recognized by their peers and arts professionals, have produced an independent body of work, and have a record of commissions, projects or exhibitions.
For his Mid-Career project, Espinoza Day will undertake "The Lowrider Garage Project" (TLGP), teaching 10- 15 Twin Cities youth the discipline of the Chican@/Latinx art car form known as the Lowrider! TLGP will take place in community-shared garage spaces in St. Paul and Minneapolis over three different 16-week sessions starting in January 2018. The artist will work with youth ages 15-19 to build a lowrider car/truck, and youth ages 8-14 to build lowrider bicycles. TLGP is partnering with Cycles for Change, a non-profit bike shop, which will serve as the site for the lowrider bicycle shop, and Soundset, a Minnesota music festival where the art car and bicycles will be unveiled in 2019 to an audience of more than 30,000 attendees. Beyond engaging youth in helping to preserve this struggling cultural art form, the project will also expose the young people to trades in custom auto body, mechanics trades and entrepreneurship through art.
The McKnight Foundation generously enables Forecast to provide professional development grants for mid-career artists who seek to expand their work in the field of public art.
Connaughty will create a collaborative and develop concepts for public art projects at Lake Hiawatha. Lake Hiawatha Park is set to transform after the impending reduction of groundwater pumping on the land. Ideas include a new wildlife refuge island, trash mitigation concepts for stormwater, water quality monitoring installation and curriculum development for local schools. Connaughty will work with experts, institutions and agencies to advise and contribute.
Klefstad will develop her knowledge of digital presentation and production techniques for public art opportunities. She will purchase the software Sketchup Pro (for 3D modeling) and Scan2CAD (for production of CAD files from drawings) and spend 150 hours learning and practicing the software. She hopes this will make her more competitive in the digital presentation and production arena.
Forecast has been offering emerging artist grants supported by Jerome Foundation since 1989. In addition to funding, Forecast provides professional development and learning opportunities to assist emerging artists as they experiment, hone their practices and cultivate careers in the field.
Ly and Vang will create the Paj Ntaub Gate, a tapestry-like outdoor fence installation at the Hmong American Farmers Association farm in Hastings, MN. The artists will spend time on the farm, much like an artist residency, to engage with farmers about Hmong agriculture and Paj Ntaub (story cloth) art — both fading traditions — to inspire and use textile to emulate the Hmong Paj Ntaub aesthetics.
Vongsay will follow the lives of Laotian families who have escaped communist Laos and are awaiting resettlement approvals in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a musical told from these survivors' perspectives. In the Camps: A Refugee Musical, will be told through traditional folktales and songs informed by 1970s-80s Lao, Thai and American pop. The musical will explore trauma and healing, while simultaneously interrogating U.S. policy. Two public staged readings are planned.
Mansour will create the piece Ayayo's Dream, bringing the West Bank together to imagine an artful and environmentally conscious archway near a pedestrian and bike path, clinic, mosque and mall. She will establish community relationships, learn how the community uses the space, and explore the community's environmental awareness and recycling practices to create an art installation that activates the pedestrian path and bikeway.
Musinguzi will develop Northside, a photo-documentary series featuring interviews and images of innovative Northside youth. Northside will follow three North Minneapolis youth and capture the essence of the community through their eyes. The final outcome will be a two-pronged public art presentation: the photo-documentary series will be published online, and a series of large-scale wheat-paste illustrations inspired by the youth's stories will adorn public community spaces.
Prpic Hedtke will research lost buildings of each Minneapolis neighborhood, as well as artists using cartography as an art form.
Ramstad will research and identify collaborators for a public memorial about the ongoing, complicated experience of discomfort, pleasure and trauma that converge when queer, trans and gender non-conforming individuals are using public bathrooms.
Forecast Mid-career and Emerging grants are designed to support independent projects, leadership development, professional development, risk-taking, multidisciplinary approaches, and collaborative problem-solving in the field of public art.
An independent panel reviewed applicants and selected the 2018 Forecast grantees. The panelists were: Lisa Dent, independent curator, writer and arts administrator based in New York, NY; Tia-Simone Gardner, artist and educator, based in Minneapolis, MN; Jay Salinas, artist, farmer, and co-founder of Wormfarm Institute, based in Reedsburg, WI; Moheb Soliman, artist, poet, and Program Director at Mizna, based in Minneapolis, MN; and Bobby Wilson, artist and member of Indigenous comedy troupe the 1491s, based in Phoenix, AZ.
Beyond providing grant funding, Forecast supports Minnesota artists working in the public realm throughout their careers with opportunities that include convenings, artist talks and workshops.
Forecast Mid-Career grants are made possible thanks to generous funding from The McKnight Foundation. Emerging grants are made possible thanks to generous funding from the Jerome Foundation.

Avoid circling around the YYJ parking facilities looking for a convenient parking space. Our Victoria Airport Parking Guide will provide you with the necessary parking information regarding the locations, rates, YYJ parking availability, and off-site parking lots.

Victoria Airport Parking
Victoria International Airport offers a few parking options to its passengers, and there are suitable parking structures for both short and extended stays. Check them out:
Daily Parking/Long Term
If you are coming to YYJ to pick up arriving passengers, this parking area is the best option for you. It is situated right across from the airport terminal building, and it is designed for short-term parking only. This means that long-term parking is not allowed; there is no daily rate.
Since Victoria Airport does not have a Cell Phone Lot and curbside parking is not allowed, Short Term Parking serves as a waiting area. There is a flat hourly parking rate of $1. Note that you cannot stay in this vehicle parking structure for longer than 2 hours.
If you need a long-stay parking facility, you will find one right before the short-term area as you approach the terminal. This is the only long-term option, except for the overflow lot, which is open only when this one is full. Daily Parking is just a couple of minutes away from the YYJ terminal.
Even though it is not a covered parking structure, Long Term Parking offers a lot of safe parking spaces located in a well-lit area. The parking rates are as follows: $1 per half an hour, $16 per day for each of the first 5 days, and $8 per each additional day. The approximate weekly rate is $96.
As you can see in our Victoria Airport parking map, a few overflow parking lots are available on-site. All of them are quite close to the YYJ terminal, and so a free shuttle service is not available. These parking areas are available whenever the Lot 1 happens to be full. In this case, airport parking attendants will direct you to the overflow lot. Airport parking rates are the same as in the long-term lot. All parking lots are uncovered and suitable for oversized vehicles.
Handicapped Parking
Victoria International Airport Parking provides designated accessible parking spots in both short-term and long-term parking structures. All passengers have to own a disabled parking permit or license plate. Parking is available on a first come, first served basis. Standard parking rates apply.
Check out other accessibility services at YYJ Airport.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are available in both long and short-term parking lots. Six EV charging stations are in the long-term lot, while the short-term lot offers two stations. No additional parking fees are charged.

Alternatively, you can check out Robbins Parking Victoria that offers numerous parking locations around the city - you can choose self parking, valet parking service, indoor garage parking, etc.

When and where the golf majors will be in 2020

By Todd Kelly July 29, 2020 6:00 am
By Todd Kelly | July 29, 2020 6:00 am
The PGA Tour's revised 2019-20 schedule features just one major championship, the PGA Championship at Harding Park.
The COVID pandemic caused major upheaval across the Tour's schedule, including a 91-break starting with the second round of the Players Championship.
These changes moved the PGA Championship to August. Following that, there will be just four tournaments, including the season-ending Tour Championship on Labor Day weekend.
The U.S. Open is in September but technically it's on the 2020-21 schedule, as is the Masters Tournament, which is usually the first major of the year, but in 2020, it'll be the last, in November.
The Open Championship. meanwhile, was canceled, giving golf fans just three majors in 2020.
New dates: Aug. 6-9
Original dates: May 14-17
Location: TPC Harding Park, San Francisco
New dates: Sept. 17-20
Original dates: June 18-21
Location: Winged Foot Golf Club, Mamaroneck, New York
The USGA seriously considered staging the U.S. Open in December at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, but that plan was abandoned when the R&A canceled the Open Championship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby freeing a slot from Sept. 17-20 that was tentatively being held in case the Open was rescheduled.
New dates: Nov. 12-15
Original dates: April 9-12
Location: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia
"We hope the anticipation of staging the Masters Tournament in the fall brings a moment of joy to the Augusta community and all those who love the sport," said Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley.
Canceled. The 149th Open was one of the victims of the schedule upheaval, as the R&A announced April 6 that the event will not be held in 2020. Royal St. George's will still serve as host of the 149th Open but will have to wait for July 2021. This allows for the 150th playing to still be at St. Andrews, but it will be in 2022 instead of 2021.
Original dates: July 16-19.
U.S. Open future sites through 2027
British Open future sites through 2024
PGA Championship future sites through 2034

Hit on the green button of "Start" to initiate the process to scan your iDevice files.
When the scanning procedure is over, hit on "Camera Roll" tab to put a checkmark in the box beside it. Choose the pictures you want to recover to computer. After that, you can hit on the "Recover" button at the bottom rightmost of the interface.
Tap on "Open" button in the panel that shows up to select a proper location on computer to save the recovered files. Finally, you need to click on "Go" button to start recovering files from iPhone to computer.

After you recovered iPhone files to computer, you can continue to transfer them to iPhone back with the assistance of the adding function of Leawo iTransfer.

It is so easy. And so cheap.
I made this chalkboard specifically for my cousin's wedding as the menu board. We needed one without edging and the ones we were looking at were going for about $90, so I took matters into my own hands and made my own.
I got a slab of wood from Home Depot (maybe for $6?), a jar of chalkboard paint at the craft store (maybe $5?) and brushes from the dollar tree. And then all I did was paint, paint, paint.
Paint at least two coats onto your board, with at least three hours between the coats. After your final coat, wait 24 hours for it to cure (whatever that means) and then cover the entire board with chalk. And, you're done!
I know. Toooo easy. And soo fun. Life is great.

Jamie at Home / Cook Yourself Thin
Channel 4 again, dominating the evening schedules with the TV equivalent of the Guardian's lifestyle section – i.e., self-satisfied dross.
Actually, that's not really fair on Jamie Oliver's new vehicle, which thankfully hasn't got him patronising any Italians or working class mothers this time round. Instead, it's just him mucking about in the garden of his country pile with some weird ageing hippy, getting all horny about tomatoes. Actually quite a pleasant way to spend half an hour, despite the fact it has to be watched through gritted teeth as you spend 95% of the run-time wondering just how fucking rich the successful bastard is.
At least his presence on the TV has been hard earned. He's a chef with some flair, which is more than can be said for the priviledged quartet who make up the Cook Yourself Thin team. Christ knows where they found this bunch of public school fuckwits. Actually, scratch that, I know just where they found them. Sipping cocktails in the same hell-on-earth bar as Polly Vernon, n'doubt. Given a job in journalism because they could afford expensive frocks, I imagine they were then wangled a pitch in front of Channel 4 bosses because they're, y'know, soooo fab and rilly, rilly presentable.
Cook Yourself Thin is a televisual concentration camp, wherein these non-entities cut every corner imaginable to try and cut calories in some poor, neurotic cow's diet. How many of these members of the public are lining up to stand in a whiteout studio showing off their entirely normal body shape and moan about it? It's seemingly endless. The lady last night looked to be in pretty good nick for a mother of two approaching middle age. So obviously she needs to be patronised on prime time TV so that the rest of us with a gut can feel ashamed of ourselves.
Instead of eating a crunchie everyday, the four airheads recommended she makes herself a load of champagne truffles and has two of those a day, thus halving the amount of calories from that snack. What utter fucking genius. Of course – a champagne based mini-cake – that will stop me from expanding! Why not have half a chocolate bar? Why not one every other day? But no, if these overpaid twats reckon you should bankrupt yourself buying Veuve Clicquot and making stupid little confections out of it, go for your life. They're on TV, they clearly know more than us fame-deprived plebs. For fuck's sake, when they made the cake thing they said it would be unwise to make the chocolate 'grumpy' during mixing.
At that point, as my blood boiled, I tried to work out how exactly one would make chocolate 'grumpy'? Channel 4 lost a viewer for the night at that point, so if anything groundbreaking occurred I apologise for not covering it. I somehow doubt they followed it up with anything other than a few more minutes of schedule-filling bollocks.

An Incredible World Record Was Set – And You May Have Not Even Heard About It!
Here is an amazing world record achievement of almost inhuman endurance and speed – and this may be the first you have heard about it.
When it comes to running and world championship events, people all know about Usain Bolt, the incredible 100 meter runner and multiple Olympic Gold Medal winner. Even millions of non-runners know his name.
People also know the world records for things like the 5K, 10K, and the marathon – even some non-runners. But, when you get into the ultra distances, that becomes more like "inside baseball", unfortunately, and not as many people know about those records.
But, this is definitely one world record you should know about! Not only did Aleksandr Sorokin break a world record yesterday but he broke his own world record that stood for just one year. Before that? The previous world record stood for 24 years. Sorokin broke the existing world record in just one year.
Aleksandr Sorokin – New Ultra Running Champion – Again
His Previous World Records
Alexsandr Sorokin is from Lithuania (as someone who is part Lithuanian, that is great news for me!) and a 40 year old runner. He already set two world records in running last year, the fastest 100 miles and the most miles run in 12 hours before going on to set the new record for 24 hours.
He had set both of those other records at a single event, running the 100 miles in 11 hours, 14 minutes, and 56 seconds. With 45 minutes and 4 seconds left, he kept on going to secure the 12 hour record with 105.825 miles in that time. Curious what that breaks down to per mile? 6 minutes and 48 seconds per mile, average, for 12 hours!
Chasing the 24 Hour World Record
The previous 24 hour world record has been in place for 24 years, set by Greek ultra running legend, Yiannis Kouros. That record was 188.52 miles in 24 hours. That was until Sorokin broke it last year, going 192.5 miles in 24 hours, a pace of 7 minutes and 29 seconds per hour.
This year, Aleksandr went for it again, this time in Verona, Italy. Sorokin set a brand new world record in the 24 hour running event by running 198.599 miles in 24 hours. That is a pace of 7 minutes and 15 seconds per mile, average, for 24 hours!!!
What It Takes to Run for 24 Hours
As someone who has attempted a 24 hour run, I can tell you that there are plenty of things that can go wrong. You have to consider weather, precipitation, clouds, etc but also body things like the digestion system and how it handles itself throughout an entire day. During one 24 hour event, the humidity started wreaking havoc on my guys around mile 60 and eventually caused me to drop.
You also have things like your feet and muscles and a final barrier in the way is the human mind. It is difficult to not think in terms of distance (so, the faster you run, the sooner you finish) but to think in terms of time. Trust me, there are a lot of highs and lows over a period of 24 hours, especially as you get physically tired and want to sleep!
Aleksandr Sorokin actually just started running about 9 years ago, which makes this even more impressive. I mean, think about the mental stamina and drive, not to mention the endurance of muscle and body, to run 24 hours at an average pace of 7:15 per mile. Plus, he started the race off by running the first 26.2 miles (marathon distance) in just 2 hours and 50 minutes! That is something a small overall percentage of marathoners can do in a single race – and Aleksandr kept going at an incredible pace for another 21 hours and 10 minutes!
If you had not heard of this incredible world record that had insane endurance and speed, I would not blame you. Unfortunately, it barely got much news coverage, nothing like if Usain Bolt won a world championship. It is unfortunate that such incredible endurance achievements do not get as much notice but hopefully you now know about the name Aleksandr Sorokin and the amazing achievements he has made.
I am training for an upcoming half marathon so had some miles today at around his race pace for this event. I cannot even imagine holding it for another 193 miles! I cannot imagine running 193 miles non-stop! I cannot speak for him, but I am sure it is playing around in his mind to break the 200 mile barrier next year – which would be again, an unimaginable show of endurance and speed.
