Chad Asarch, Principal with Steele Properties and the Monroe Group, has been appointed Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bye Aerospace, a world leader in the development of solar-electric aircraft.
Some of our solar system's asteroids have photobombed deep images of the universe taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. These asteroids reside, on average, only about 160 million miles from Earth — right around the corner in astronomical terms. Yet they've horned their way into this picture of thousands of galaxies scattered across space and time at inconceivably farther distances.
NASA scientists and engineers have conceived and plan to build an ambitious submillimeter-wave or radio instrument to study the composition of geysers spewing water vapor and icy particles from the south pole of Saturn's small moon, Enceladus.
We're going behind the scenes to spotlight the latest space technology in this edition of Spotlight Space. NASA's InSight lander will explore Mars' interior and will be the first to record measurements of Mars' interior, providing scientists with the greatest clues yet into evolutionary processes that shaped the rocky planets. In this episode, we'll show you how it's built for space and how the spacecraft will serve NASA.
More people today are poised to explore space than ever before; those who do will experience the effects of microgravity on the human body. Recognizing the need for data related to those effects, MUSC neuroradiologist Donna Roberts, M.D., conducted a study titled "Effects of Spaceflight on Astronaut Brain Structure as Indicated on MRI," the results of which will be featured in the Nov. 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
SES announced that the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Future Satellite Communications Service Acquisition (FCSA) program has awarded SES Government Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES, a spot on the Complex Commercial Satellite Communications Solutions contract (CS3).
The Air Force will hold a $10 billion contest for as many as 22 new Global Positioning System satellites that's likely to pit Lockheed Martin Corp. — which is years behind schedule on the ones it's already building — against Boeing Co. and possibly Northrop Grumman Corp.
To ensure the greatest returns on the public's investment in space exploration, landing on the Moon shouldn't be an end in itself. Mars remains the most promising destination to establish a long-term human presence and to advance our scientific understanding of life elsewhere.
It's no accident that NASA's Orion crew capsule resembles its smaller Apollo predecessor. Within aerospace circles, Orion was famously described as "Apollo on steroids," when the four-person spacecraft and its mission of transporting astronauts to the Moon before 2020 was unveiled by NASA a dozen years ago as part of the now-canceled Constellation program.

Sky Pond office building hits market at $9.6M
By Dan Mika — November 21, 2019
LOVELAND — The Sky Pond office building in Loveland's Centerra district has been listed for sale for $9.6 million.
The 29,589-square-foot, two-story building is located just northeast of the I-25/U.S. 34 interchange and directly south of the Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra. It is fully occupied between agriculture advising firm K·Coe Isom LLP, wealth advisors Morgan Stanley, Eye Center of Northern Colorado PC and the law firm Peters Schulte Odil & Wallshein.
The current owner is Golden-based Gravical Real Estate Holdings LLC, which paid $8.35 million for the building in December 2011, according to Larimer County property records. The 2.5-acre plot was last valued at $8.5 million.
Ron Kuehl, a broker Realtec Commercial Real Estate Services representing the listing, told BizWest the property's owner is putting the office on the market in response to high investor interest in the region.
"We feel it is a good time now to maximize value," he said.

So far the things I've tried have been rebuilding, cleaning and rebuilding, deleting the mapper file and rebuilding, and using the Invalidate Caches / Restart option. I have also tried deleting ImageLayoutBinding and DataBinderMapperImpl, again to no avail.

The Time Traveler's Wife, review
This adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's bestselling novel wants desperately to engage our hearts, but will leave most of us scratching our heads. Rating: * * *
[ERROR:UNKNOWN VIDEO EMBED]
By Sukhdev Sandhu
Robert Schwentke; Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams. Rating: * * *
The Time Traveler's Wife is a romantic weepie wrapped inside a science fiction movie boxed within a mystery puzzle. Directed by Robert Schwentke (Flightplan), and adapted from Audrey Niffenegger's bestselling novel of 2003 by Bruce Joel Rubin (who also wrote the screenplay for another mushy paranormal picture, Ghost), it wants desperately to engage our hearts, but for long stretches will leave most of us scratching our heads.
Eric Bana plays Henry, a Chicago librarian who suffers from a genetic disorder called Chrono Impairment that causes him to vanish without warning and travel through time and space.
Strangely, rather than appearing in a loin cloth in a Roman ampitheatre full of snarling lions, or playing footsie with Elizabeth I beneath a banquet table, he tends always to bump into a younger woman called Clare (Rachel McAdams).
Actually, she's not so much young as positively illegal. The first time they meet she is just six years old and he is hiding in a bush without any clothes. Somehow, perhaps because she has creative tendencies, she is magicked rather than terrified. Later she will tell him: "You're my best friend. I've been waiting for you all my life."
There is a much darker gothic tale itching to get out here, but Schwentke and Rubin, aided by Mychael Danna's insistently weepy score, opt to offset the film's Benjamin Button-style tragic romance with humour. One of the good things about being a time traveller, it turns out, is that you can easily escape from the back of a cop's car. Another is that you can treat your wife to a palatial home by snagging five million dollars on the Lottery whose winning numbers you already know.
Bana would be few people's idea of a natural romantic lead. We expect him to go psycho at any minute, just as he did in Chopper, Hulk and Munich. Funnily enough, he does end up getting in lots of scraps with tough guys and strangers whose clothes he is forced to steal (though wasn't it always the Invisible Man who went naked on his travels?). McAdams lends characteristic intelligence and buoyancy to a role from which lesser actresses would have wrung mushy pathos.
It has been reported that the film needed to be re-shot and it's not hard to understand why that might be. Fundamental questions — such as why Henry can disappear at will on some occasions and not on others — go unresolved. More generally, the film's science-fiction elements — at one point older versions of characters are seen pow-wowing with their younger selves — creates an anything-goes universe that makes the story's desire to wrest tragedy from its depiction of the cruelty of human mortality seem redundant.

Блестящ кравешки трупиал (Molothrus bonariensis) е вид птица от семейство Трупиалови. Известна е още като лъскава кравица. Размножава се в по-голямата част от Южна Америка, с изключение на гъстите гори и районите с голяма надморска височина. От 1900 г. ареалът на лъскавите кравици се измества на север и е регистриран на Карибските острови, както и в Съединените щати, където се среща в Южна Флорида. Това е птица, която живее на открити местообитания, включително на земи засегнати от земеделска дейност и обезлесяване.

Разпространение
Видът е разпространен в Ангуила, Антигуа и Барбуда, Аржентина, Американските Вирджински острови, Барбадос, Боливия, Бразилия, Британските Вирджински острови, Венецуела, Гренада, Гваделупа, Гвиана, Доминика, Доминиканската република, Еквадор, Канада, Колумбия, Коста Рика, Куба, Мартиника, Монсерат, Панама, Парагвай, Перу, Пуерто Рико, Сейнт Китс и Невис, Сейнт Лусия, Сейнт Винсент и Гренадини, Суринам, САЩ, Тринидад и Тобаго, Уругвай, Френска Гвиана, Хаити и Чили.

1988- Indra Devi and Yogacharya Dr Fernando Estevez Griego (Swami Maitreyananda Dharmachari)
For over 60 years, Indra Devi was Yoga's most prominent female force. She pursued the practice of Yoga in an era when women were normally not accepted as students. Of European descent, she not only brought Yoga to her native Russia, she taught Yoga to the Hindus themselves. In America she taught Yoga to celebrities. Even after she reached the very advanced age of 100, she continued a yoga practice which included Ardha Sirsasana, Janu Sirsasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana and, of course, Padmasana. Indra Devi's followers called her Mataji, a rare and well-deserved honour for a woman who exemplified Yoga's principles with her love, light, and a liveliness that lasted nearly all of her 102 years.
The woman who would become Indra Devi was born Eugenie Peterson on May 12, 1899, in Riga, Russia. Her father was Swedish and her mother was a member of the Russian nobility. Although Eugenie had been drawn to India's spiritual ways at a very young age, she first pursued a career with the theater. In 1920, while Russia was still in the midst of revolution, Eugenie and her mother relocated to Germany. She became part of a renowned Russian theatrical troupe that toured all over Europe. It was during this period of her life that she met Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Finally, in 1927, Eugenie was able to visit her beloved India for the first time. She wound up living there for 12 years, during which she married a Czechoslovakian diplomat, became an movie star in Indian films and befriended Jawaharlal Nehru. In 1937 she became a student of Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, a Yoga master whose other students included a couple of kids named B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois and his son T.K. Desikashar . After a year Krishnamacharya urged Eugenie to teach, and when her husband relocated to Shanghai in 1939, she opened her first school of Yoga.
After the end of World War II, Indra Devi continued studying Yoga in the Himalayas and after the death of her husband, her travels took her to the United States. She founded a Yoga studio in Hollywood where she taught stars of the day such as Gloria Swanson, Jennifer Jones, Ramon Novarro and Olivia de Haviland. In 1953 she married a renowned doctor and humanitarian, Sigfrid Knauer and continued spreading Yoga throughout the United States and Mexico via conferences, radio and television.
For the next several decades, Indra Devi took Yoga worldwide. She went to the Soviet Union in 1960 and became known as "the woman who brought Yoga to the Kremlin." She conducted a meditation in Viet Nam in 1966 and traveled frequently to India. In 1985 she moved to Argentina, where she set up the Indra Devi Foundation (the URL of its website, which is in Spanish, is http://fundacion-indra-devi.org/). She spread Yoga throughout South America, along with holding seminars and classes in the U.S. and Europe. Over the years she has published a number of books, including Forever Young, Forever Healthy, Yoga for Americans (which has a forward by Gloria Swanson), and Yoga, the Technique of Health and Happiness.
Indra Devi practiced all that she taught, and as a result she remained active and vital well into her 90s, and even after she passed the century mark, her energy was amazing. After 102 remarkable years, however, it was time for her to move on. Indra Devi viewed death as fearlessly as she lived her life, and the world she left is very much richer for the gift of her presence.In the 1960s and 70s, Indra Devi was very much a presence in Los Angeles and Mexico, and was very close to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Traveling from LA (and her retreat in Mexico) to Bangalore and Puttaparthi, she was greatly honored by Him.
In 1982 she moved to Argentina. In 1987 she was elected President of honor of the International Yoga Federation http://www.internationalyogafederation.net/ (former International Yoga Teachers Federation) and Latin American Union of Yoga under the Presidenceship of Swami Maitreyananda in Montevideo, Uruguay. She died in Buenos Aires.

This week we're back rehearsing at Live Theatre for the first of three Vera Shrimp previews. These are script in hand, work in progress performances which kick off on Thursday.
Walking down to the Quayside in the blazing sun it's hard to imagine that last time we were at Live working on this show (R&D in March) it was snowing!
As we're doing a table read through in the Writers Room, Michael brings us up a fan. We love Michael.
We set to work blocking it all out. The week spent at Northern Stage in May really pays dividends as we're whipping through the first half.
We break for lunch and sit on the Quayside to eat it. It's roasting out. Rosie comes back with sunburn stripes on her arms after just half an hour.
We decamp to the Rehearsal Room as it's available and, mercifully, much cooler.
We put umbrellas up indoors which makes me slightly nervous but is unavoidable.
We go back upstairs to the Writers Room for the final couple of hours of the day and nearly do ourselves a damage trying to shift the massive table out of the way.
I have to eat a cornflake crispy cake in the play. In lieu of these, we use Wagon Wheels for now as there's a packet with the props. I have four lines to eat it in. I don't like Wagon Wheels, I consider them vile.
When we run it again, I have to eat another one. See, suffering for my craft here.
I do my Scottish accent in front of Rosie (who is Scottish). It's a tense moment for all involved.
We pour water into the umbrellas to see if they can hold it. They can't. We empty them out but when I put one up later the drops run down my back. I'm glad of it in the heat.
We finish blocking and have a rough shape of the whole thing.
Tomorrow we do character voices, mic work and details.
Tomorrow we are one day closer.
Tomorrow I go to Greggs and buy cornflake crispy cakes.


An official closing ceremony will be held at the Bethel High School at Campden Park this afternoon, to mark the end of the Caribbean Awards Sub Regional Council CASC camp.
The camp brought together gold and silver participants in the Duke of Edinburgh International Award Scheme.
The participants were drawn from nine countries: The Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Guyana, St. Lucia, Trinidad and host country St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Organizers say, during the camp, the young people overcame a number of physical and mental challenges, through team work, as they traveled through the mountains of the interior of mainland St. Vincent. The activities included hiking to La Soufriere volcano.
Today's closing ceremony will mark the culmination of 17 days of adventure for the participants as well as the trainee leaders and staff of the awards program.
The closing Ceremony will be held under the auspices of Governor General Sir Frederick Ballantyne, who is the Patron of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
It is scheduled to begin at four-thirty this afternoon.


Jared Polis not only expressed support for the marijuana industry in his successful bid for Colorado governor, he made it part of his strategy to win.
The unprecedented effort — employed in the primary and general election — extended well beyond industry fundraisers and campaign visits to cannabis operations.
Polis' campaign used a state database to target industry employees, sent tailored text messages and mailers on the issue, held voter registration drives at dispensaries and hired a cannabis outreach director.
All of it dovetailed with Polis' unwavering support for legalized cannabis at the state and federal level. "His unequivocal boldness on issues such as cannabis proved to be a valuable asset," Jenn Ridder, Polis' campaign manager, wrote in the memo.
The campaign's tactics exemplified Polis' broader approach to the campaign, where a combination of big money, technology and embrace of liberal issues helped propel him to victory.
Polis won 52 percent of the vote compared to 45 percent for his Republican rival, Walker Stapleton, according to unofficial election results. His victory broke barriers, making him the state's first Jewish governor and the nation's first openly gay man elected to the post.
The reasons he won are clear: Polis tapped into the Democratic momentum in the 2018 election and, most significantly, put a record-setting $22.8 million from his own pocket into the campaign.
But in the memo the campaign points to a handful of major strategic decisions that were key to his wins in a contested party primary and a general election against a relative of the Bush administration backed by millions in outside spending.
The Polis campaign wavered little from start to finish — on messaging and staffing — and the robust primary battle tested the team for the November push. His big spending allowed for a saturating TV ad campaign that emphasized his business background in just about every commercial. Two other ads featured actions he took as a five-term congressman and the people he helped.
"The work to introduce Polis as a visionary leader who understood voters' concerns stood	in stark contrast to his opponent, who never convincingly introduced himself to Colorado voters," Ridder said.
On the technology side, Polis used text messaging to drive people to his events and build momentum, which was particularly helpful in the Democratic primary. He also used social media to speak directly to supporters with his Facebook page engaging more than 1 million users per week. The use of both technologies is not new in elections, but Polis put extra emphasis on them.
And most importantly, Polis focused attention on unaffiliated voters starting in April, sending all his campaign's persuasive mailers to them — rather than to Democratic voters. The strategy helped drive unaffiliated voters to the polls in both contests, tapping into broader discontent with President Donald Trump and making them the largest voting bloc in the 2018 election for the first time ever.
"While much of the national conversation was dominated by Trump and his divisive agenda, Polis didn't run a campaign about just saying, 'No.' Polis was very clear that he would stand up to Trump when necessary, but he ran a campaign that said, 'Yes,' to an energetic and forward-looking vision for Colorado," Ridder said.
The plan to target cannabis voters started with Polis' approach to the issue. In 2012, he was one of the most prominent elected officials in Colorado to support Amendment 64, the measure that legalized recreational sale and use of marijuana. And he sponsored a measure backed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at the federal level to do the same.
"Other politicians must realize that this is a winning issue for candidates to run on," Polis told The New York Times in a June interview.
To identify the voters, the campaign obtained the state database of employees registered to work in the cannabis industry and matched it with the voter file to identify a universe of potential Polis supporters for the primary and general election.
The campaign then targeted them with text messages and mailers — three in the primary and four in the November election. One text message took aim at then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had suggested a crackdown on states with legal pot.
The mailers — later reviewed by The Sun — were similar in both elections and touted Polis' message that the cannabis industry provides money to "classrooms not cartels" from tax revenue and "boosts our economy, not our prison population." Another showed a picture of Trump and Stapleton, saying the Republican candidate for governor would "roll back marijuana legalization and allow a Trump administration crackdown" — which is a misrepresentation of his views.
Stapleton never made marijuana a major issue — in fact he said there was no way to repeal legalization — but he did say he wanted to tighten the regulations on medical card holders.
The cohort of voters who received the Polis messages was not huge — roughly 26,000, according to the campaign — but could have made a difference in a closer race.
Moreover, the vast majority did not fit in the universe the campaign would typically target with a get-out-the-vote push because they are not reliable voters. In the end, 46 percent of cannabis voters targeted cast ballots in the election.
In addition, the Polis camp put fliers next to cash registers at dispensaries, toured a hemp farming operations to highlight cannabis, and held fundraisers, the final of which drew more than 200 industry people. His cannabis outreach director jokingly went by the name Jonathan "Stone" Cherkoss.
"It's a first. It's absolutely a first that the Polis campaign engaged with cannabis companies," said Peter Marcus, a spokesman for Terrapin Care Station, a marijuana grower and retailer.

More than 3 months after 5.7.18 we' ve got MySQL 5.7.19 released recently. This is my quick review of the release notes with interesting fixed bug (reported in public) highlighted in the areas I am usually interested in.
Bug #85043 is still private. You know how much I hate those. At least we can see it was about the fact that "The server allocated memory unnecessarily for an operation that rebuilt the table." Let's hope this is no longer the case.

The majority of the time there isn't much stock put into the outcome of NFL sports betting preseason games, but every once in a while there is an exception to that rule. Given the way that the New England Patriots had dominated their first two preseason opponents, it was on the Detroit Lions to make a statement when the two teams met last week. The Lions responded by not only slowing the Patriots' attack, but rather by blowing away New England 34-10 to remain undefeated this preseason with one final date against the Buffalo Bills left to play this Thursday.
While the Lions have looked dominant this preseason there are still more than a few question marks surrounding a Buffalo team that needed overtime to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars at home last week and clinch their first exhibition win.
The Lions feel as though this is finally the year that they are ready to take a step forward in the NFC, with the chance to compete for at least a Wild Card spot. If that decision was based on their performance so far this preseason there is little doubt that they would be in, but there is still a long way to go until they get close to clinching one of their many goals for this year. Matthew Stafford has looked like a capable franchise quarterback and the offense has really developed around him. Stafford likely won't see much time this week however, as the Lions turn their attention to a week one date at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Inconsistencies have already began to show through with the Bills, and it will be on head coach Chan Gailey to make sure they are addressed over these final days before the regular season begins. Ryan Fitzpatrick finally showed his capabilities in the win over the Jaguars as he threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns while completing 11-of-12 passes. The offense came alive with Fitzpatrick leading the way, but the problem was that the defense allowed 32. The Bills' defense has shown flashes of its pass-rush ability, and that potential to get pressure on the opposition quarterback will be a key to their sports betting bonus success.
For obvious reasons this game means a lot more to the Bills than it does to Detroit, and they should be able to get some things done with Tyler Thigpen leading the offense for most of the game. The Lions have already proven their merit this preseason and can now turn some of their attention to their opener against Tampa Bay, while Buffalo still has some things to figure out in the final dress rehearsal before the regular season gets underway.

Exiles Grandstand: FA Cup 3rd Round Brighton & Hove Albion
Newport County natter & football chatter.

Sunday's game is the County's 8th match against Premier League opposition, with 7 of them occuring after Mike Flynn took charge in 2017 :- West Brom, Tottenham (home & away), Leicester, Man City, West Ham, Newcastle and Brighton. An impressive record.
Hopefully the pitch will be playable by Sunday evening. I wonder how many changes Brighton will make, with Man City waiting for them a few days later at the Etihad. They may think they've no chance at Man City and play a strong side against us. The County of course will have to make at least 2 changes, with Twine and Cooper no longer with us. Will it be Townsend or King in goal?
The County has played Brighton 67 times, starting in 1921 in Division 3 South (W18, D12 & L37). We've only played them twice since 1966, including that memorable victory at Brighton in 2013 in the League Cup.
Oh that we could be there to witness another great occasion. The match is on BT Sport 1 (channel 527 on Virgin Media).

It's a bit of dilemma.
The temperature is dropping and will be around freezing point on Sunday night.
The Dragons (currently) are still playing at RP on Saturday.
Should be now ask the FA and B&HA to switch the game to the Amex Stadium or take our chances on it still being at RP?

Not sure if it would be allowed to be swapped to the Amex? I have no doubt it will be an advantage for us to play at home. Understand the anxiety about the playability of RP come Sunday night as the weather forecast would appear to suggest that the ground will thaw during the day, but there is a real possibility of the pitch freezing during the game and therefore being abandoned.
The priority of course has to be the securing of the TV money.

Whilst we wouldn't have done it for Exeter or Southend there is logic in spending on temporary heating solution to ensure we don't postpone and lose the TV money.

Would agree, if indeed that can be done; but not sure there is anything that can prevent the pitch from freezing whilst the game is in progress?

Other than a bit of heavy breathing probably not but hopefully enough heat into it beforehand would delay the freezing. When I win the Euromillions I promise to install undersoil heating in our brand new stadium!

The weather forecast isn't looking very hopeful. Saturday night / Sunday morning the temperature is forecast to drop to -4C. Sunday night when the match is due to be played it will be +2C.

Aston Villa v Liverpool called off due to covid. Let's see if they award Liverpool the tie.

Looks like the frost could get into it during the rugby match Saturday. Not sure whether covering a frozen pitch will do much good.

If that's true I think that is just the first of many. The decision to call off elite football will soon be taken out of anybody's hand. There will be no fit players left at this rate.
