Pioneers Finish Strong in First Weekend of Competition
Derbyshire wins the Silver Singles Main Draw Championship
BOULDER – Sophomore Charlotte Derbyshire (Stockton, England) defeated Colorado’s Ashley Tiefel 6-4, 6-3 in the championship match of the Silver Draw during the final day of competition at the Colorado University Invitational on Sunday in Boulder.
Singles play concluded at the University of Colorado Invitational. With Derbyshire’s showing, Denver had a player advance to the finals in all three tournament draws.
“Charlotte played smart tennis all weekend,” head coach Christian Thompson said. “She worked very hard this summer and the hard work is starting to pay off for her. Going 3-0 in this tournament should give Charlotte a ton of confidence for the rest of the matches this fall.”
Sophomore Kathryn Hughes (Wrexham, Wales) had a solid weekend for the Pioneers. In the semifinals of the Gold Draw, Hughes posted a 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 win over Macie Elliott (Southern Methodist University) to advance to the finals. Unfortunately, the final of the Gold Draw was not played because of time limitations.
“It was nice to see Kathryn rally back after losing a tight set,” Thompson said. “Kathryn has the ability to stay aggressive even in tight situations which is key against the better players. I have high hopes for her this year going into Regionals.”
Pioneer Maureen Slattery made it to the semifinals of the Gold Draw as well, but lost to Kimberley-Ann Surin (Arkansas) 5-6 (4-7), 6-5 (7-4), 6-0, in a tight three-game match.
“Overall it was a good weekend,” Thompson said. “It was great to have three of our girls reach at least the finals in all three tournament draws.”
The women Pioneers will next compete at the ITA Regional Championship on Wednesday, October 9 in Las Vegas, Nev.

SEA CHANGE is a collaborative initiative that provides coaching, connections and capital to people who have big ideas to improve their community.
OUR MISSION is to connect resources, funders, innovators, and mentors to accelerate ideas from concept to successful social enterprise across the state of Ohio.
The SEA Change accelerator is a 12-week online course supplemented by weekly in-person gatherings to share in learning across the cohort. Participants will also gain access to mentors across a wide variety of disciplines and issue areas. The accelerator will culminate in a Pitch Day where up to $100,000 will be invested in top social enterprises that completed the program.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We plan to select up to 15 participants across 3 categories of social enterprises:
1.) START: pure startup idea with some validation, whether is is feedback from customers or a board of advisors who believe in your concept2.)SCALE: social enterprises already in existence looking to grow or pivot 3.)SUSTAIN: nonprofits looking for an earned revenue opportunity to diversify their funding
Prior to the accelerator starting in May, we will have a business 101 course provided by ECDI called SEED. For those applicants we select who do not have a business background, we may make it a contingency that they complete these courses. For all other it will be optional. These courses take place on Tuesday mornings in April from 9am-noon.

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – Eight years ago, World Duathlon Champion and multiple Ironman winner Olivier Bernhard was looking for a new running sensation; one that would allow a soft, cushioned landing to minimize impact on the ground but a hard, speedy push-off to still beat that last competitor to the finish line.
Bernhard partnered up with a like-minded Swiss engineer, cut up pieces of a common garden hose and glued them onto a traditional racing flat. When tested, the pieces of garden hose provided a plush, cushioned landing but as they transitioned from heel to toe, the pieces collapsed, allowing a hard surface to push off of. This was the exact running sensation Bernhard was craving.
What started as a very unlikely prototype went on to sell 4 million shoes worldwide in just seven years. On November 1st, 2018 On launched the fourth version of its classic shoe.
The comfort of a training shoe with the speed of a racing flat. That has always been and always will be the beauty of the Cloudsurfer. With its patented CloudTec system, runners will experience softer landings and more explosive take-offs than ever before. Wet roads? No problem. With a newly developed ‘zig zag’ pattern on the outsole, grip and traction are a given.
Its uniquely engineered mesh puts breathability and support exactly where the foot needs them. Combined with a second layer of EVA cushioning at the heel, the Cloudsurfer is second-to-none when it comes to comfort. A neutral running shoe, the Cloudsurfer has a weight of 11.6oz and a 6mm heel-toe offset.
“The Cloudsurfer is what initially put us on that map,” says On Co-Founder and Head of R&D, Olivier Bernhard. “People thought it was gimmicky at first, but soon realized it was a truly unique technology and sensation – something the running industry was missing. Eight years later, the shoe still sells and people all around the world write to us saying how much they love it.
“This new version of the shoe will maintain that same sensation that runner’s love but with more premium materials in the upper for enhanced breathability, more Clouds on the outsole for a smoother transition from heel to toe, and a Speedboard in the midsole that lays across the whole shoe providing more stability all-around”.
The all-new Cloudsurfer is now available online and in retail stores.

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (WXYZ) — Drivers who are already dealing with major headaches along I-75 should prepare to deal with even more as segment three of the I-75 Modernization project is now under way.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, segment three involves rebuilding more than five miles of I-75 between 8 Mile and 13 Mile, and prep work will begin this year before the full construction begins next year.
The construction is weather permitting, and the initial impacts will be on the southbound I-75 lanes from 11 Mile to 8 Mile roads.
On Sunday, the right lane of southbound I-75 closed from 13 Mile to 8 Mile in order for crews to widen the shoulder for a traffic shift.
In addition to the closure, the westbound I-696 ramp to southbound I-75 will close, the southbound I-75 exits to 8 Mile and 9 Mile will close and 9 Mile entrance ramp to southbound I-75 will close.
Other work in 2019 includes constructing temporary median crossovers, the removal of the Dallas Rd. overpass above I-75 and work on the northbound service drive.
Next year, all I-75 traffic will move to the southbound side of the freeway from 11 Mile to 8 Mile with two lanes open in each direction, allowing for the rebuilding of the northbound lanes from 8 Mile to I-696.
"Based on the complexity and the volume of work, segment 3 will be constructed in phases," said Metro Region Engineer Kimberly Avery. "Starting in spring 2020, each phase will be constructed in one year, with winter shutdowns, until fall 2023."
Phase two of the project is ongoing from just north of 13 Mile to Coolidge Highway. For more information, visit modernize75.com.
A detailed list of construction activity for 2019 and 2020 is below.

On the Optimal Structure of Local Governments
We show that space matters in designing the optimal provision of local public goods (LPGs). Geography imposes particular institutional structure of local governments due to the overlapping of market areas associated with different LPGs. The optimum can be decentralized through local governments that have jurisdiction over market areas of all LPG-types. This implies that the appropriate suppliers of LPGs are metropolitan approach invalidates the prevailing theory of fiscal federalism, according to which a layer of government should be established for each type of LPG.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) also known as dynamic cruise control, is considered a Level 1 ADAS technology. ACC systems can use radar, LIDAR (like those made by Ainstein (www.ainstein.ai) laser or camera based sensors to assist drivers in maintaining spacing between vehicles. Sensor input from ACC systems can use the vehicle’s engine management system to control braking and acceleration at speed. Radar systems can be long, or short range and some vehicles use both. The black-box sensor on a laser-based system must be exposed to the area that it is tracking and because the laser reflects off other cars it does not work well (or at all) in heavy rain or snow. Some camera-based systems use two, forward-facing cameras placed on either side of the rear view mirror providing binocular vision to the system’s computer. Through digital processing the ACC system can calculate distance of vehicles ahead.

On some vehicles collision avoidance is another feature of ACC systems and uses the same sensors to warn drivers of a potential fender bender, or worse. In addition to sensors, GPS information can be used to alert the system of fixed objects like stop signs, intersections, exit and entrance freeway ramps and other hazardous driving areas. Future ACC systems will have an impact on increasing the capacity of roads by maintaining optimal separation distances between vehicles and provide a safer driving environment.
Wake up! Anti-sleep pilot, driver condition monitor, fatigue detection or tiredness detection warning are some of the names of systems that warn a driver that they are not paying attention to the road ahead—time to get some coffee or pull over and take a nap. Studies have shown that 20 percent, or higher or road accidents are driver fatigue-related. Driver drowsiness detection and lane departure warning systems are similar, if not identical. They can use road lane monitoring via a camera, steering pattern monitoring or driver eye and face monitoring to determine when to sound a warning. Future systems could use body sensors to measure things like heart rate, brain and muscle activity and skin conductance as a measure of how awake a driver really is.
From the inception of the automobile the ability of a driver to “park” the car has been a challenge. The parallel parking test for licensing is one of the most difficult skills that drivers have to demonstrate—so difficult that 16 states have dropped the requirement. The lack of parking skills has led to a vicarious form of entertainment—watching drivers trying to parallel park. No matter how many times they back-and-fill, and/or bump other cars, they can’t seem to get any closer to the curb. Automatic parking is an ADAS system that bridges the gap between driver assist and fully automatic driving in that the system takes over steering during parking maneuvers.
In general, Automatic Parking Systems (APS) use ultrasonic sensors located at the four corners of a vehicle to determine its position relative to other parked cars. In operation APS is turned on and the car is driven past the desired parking spot to determine if there is enough room to park. During parking the system instructs the driver to put the car in reverse or drive and apply the brakes until the car is parked. Perpendicular parking is a similar process. After driving past an empty parking space and measuring it, the vehicle self-steers, backing into the space while the driver controls the gas and brake pedals. With driver angst over parking it’s no surprise that automakers want to offer customers a way to circumvent their lack of parking skills.
Future ADAS systems will be a real factor in differentiating automotive brands from one another. OEMs and their suppliers know that they will also be a significant revenue source for selling consumers various levels of trim and add-on packages. As costs for ADAS tech comes down it will be found on less expensive cars and become common place.
ADAS and autonomous cars
As evidenced by current ADAS systems, driver assist technology of the future is only going to become a larger part of consumers’ automotive experience. The use of ultrasonic, radar and optical sensors will provide a more complete picture of a vehicle’s surroundings and shift more driving responsibility away from human drivers and towards computers with the goal of a safer and more relaxed driving experience. An important part of the transition to fully automatic driving is connecting vehicles to one another and their environment. The combination of sensor technology and connected vehicles will play an increasingly import role in the transition from ADAS systems to fully autonomous vehicles.

Evaluating snow weak-layer failure parameters through inverse finite element modelling of shaking-platform experiments
Abstract. Snowpack weak layers may fail due to excess stresses of various natures, caused by snowfall, skiers, explosions or strong ground motion due to earthquakes, and lead to snow avalanches. This research presents a numerical model describing the failure of "sandwich" snow samples subjected to shaking. The finite element model treats weak layers as interfaces with variable mechanical parameters. This approach is validated by reproducing cyclic loading snow fracture experiments. The model evaluation revealed that the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion, governed by cohesion and friction angle, was adequate to describe the experiments. The model showed the complex, non-homogeneous stress evolution within the snow samples and especially the importance of tension on fracture initiation at the edges of the weak layer, caused by dynamic stresses due to shaking. Accordingly, a simplified analytical solution, ignoring the inhomogeneity of tangential and normal stresses along the failure plane, may incorrectly estimate the shear strength of the weak layers. The values for "best fit" cohesion and friction angle were ≈1.6 kPa and 22.5–60°. These may constitute valuable first approximations in mechanical models used for avalanche forecasting.

Australia means "the unknown south land.' The nation was founded as a British penal colony and originally served as a place to hold criminals, debtors, and undesirables from the British Isles. It became independent in 1900. The term "Aussie" was originally used to describe a happy-go-lucky person and to distinguish between indigenous peoples and immigrants from Europe. Since the 1980's, immigration has started to decrease, and it is now more difficult to become a citizen.
The Aborigines, the original inhabitants of Australia, have experienced violence and discrimination since the British colonization, and racism and distrust still exist between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Both the sixth largest country and the smallest continent in the world, Australia is the only continent without glaciers. It is also the world's driest continent, frequently suffering from deadly bush fires.

Laughing, 21-year-old Jake Cook says his stage name came about when his friends saw him performing.
“They say I look aggressive whilst rapping, like I’m snarling. That’s why I chose to go by ‘Snarlie’.”
Being brought up on rock music, becoming a leading force behind the grime and rap movement in his hometown wasn’t always the plan for Snarlie. However, after listening to hip hop music for the first time in high school, the Burnley lad was captivated – and the rest is history.
“I first heard ‘Loose Yourself’ by Eminem as an 11-year-old in school. I went home that day and downloaded his entire discography and it’s like I fell down a hip-hop rabbit hole. I still draw a lot of influence from Eminem, but also Tupac, NWA, and Nas.”
At the age of 15, Snarlie developed his own unique style and found his flow, so started scribbling original song lyrics and performing for his friends. However, instead of using his talent to sing about fast cars and a hedonistic lifestyle, the artist chooses to use his voice to share his honest opinion about real-world issues. In one freestyle, he raps:
“Check yourself, because nobody is badder than mental health, your own mind will teach you knowledge… I know you could find your truth through meditation… seek inner peace and just do you and have faith in the good things you do.”
It is the lyrics as opposed to the music that fuels the songs, Snarlie confessed.
Drawing strength and support from his friends and family, Snarlie has plans to shake up the grime and rap scene, not just in Burnley, but across the North West and the whole of the UK.
“I think there is an emerging grime and rap scene here in Burnley. I’m affiliated with artists that perform locally as well as in cities like Leeds and Manchester. Some of my biggest influences are from the Manchester grime scene.”
“I won’t ever forget my Burnley roots though.”
You can catch Snarlie on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and SoundCloud.

I have finally worked up to actually "doing" the
Hal Higdon 30/30 plan.I have built enough stamina
to run for 1 minute, then walk for 1 minute, then
run for 1 minute and so on for a sustained 25 minutes.
The way I do it is I walk the first 7-10 minutes just
getting my joints warmed up. Then, I start the minute
intervals of running and walking. I do that for 25
minutes. The last 3-5 minutes I walk to cool down.
I accomplished these times for the first time yesterday
and was able to repeat the process today. Now, I will
work to be able to 1. increase the distance I am able
to go during those times and 2. run longer than I walk.
All of this is great for the calorie burn, but...
It seems (or so the diet counselor thinks)that the
increase of intensity in my workouts has triggered
something in my body that is causing it to think it
is not getting enough nutrition. Therefore, it is
holding on to more than it should. This week I was
actually up a little. The counselor has asked me to
add into my daily plan one extra shake. We are hoping
that extra protein in the shake will help my body
release some of what it feels like it needs to store.
We also know we have run into some problems with
insulin resistance. It seems when you are insulin
dependent there comes a point when your need for insulin
actually works against being able to loose weight. I
don't exactly get it, but I think I am at that place.
I am going to keep working on it (stay in the box)
and in the meantime focus more on running and training
to run a 5K and a little less on the number on the scale.

Originally written on April 23, 2021 – Updated 2023
St. George’s Day is celebrated on this day, 23 April, and It is England’s national day.
His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England, and also part of the British flag.
St George’s emblem was adopted by Richard The Lion Heart and brought to England in the 12th century, and the king’s soldiers wore it on their tunics to avoid confusion in battle.
Like England, every country in the UK has its own patron saint who in times of great peril is called upon to help save the country from its enemies.
St George, popularly identified with England and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry, actually he wasn’t English at all.
His popularity in England stems from the time of the early Crusades when it is said that the Normans saw him in a vision and were victorious.
Very little is known about the man who became St George. Lived in 3rd century, is believed to have been born in Cappadocia (now Eastern Turkey) in the year A.D. 270. His parents were Christian. At the age of seventeen he joined the Roman army and soon became renowned for his bravery. He served under a pagan Emperor but never forgot his Christian faith. When the pagan Emperor Diocletian started persecuting Christians, St. George pleaded with the Emperor to spare their lives. However, his pleas fell on deaf ears and it is thought that the Emperor Diocletian tried to make St. George deny his faith in Christ, by torturing him. St George showed incredible courage and faith and was finally beheaded near Lydda in Palestine on 23 April, 303.
In 1222, the Council of Oxford declared April 23 to be St George’s Day and he replaced St Edmund the Martyr as England’s patron saint in the 14th century. It was April 13, 1415, that it was made a national feast day.
One of the best-known stories about Saint George is his fight with a dragon. But it is highly unlikely that he ever fought a dragon, and even more unlikely that he ever actually visited England.
Well, despite this, St George is known throughout the world as the dragon-slaying patron saint of England.
In any case, in the Middle Ages the dragon was commonly used to represent the Devil, and the slaying of the dragon by St George was first credited to him in the twelfth century, long after his death. It is therefore likely that the many stories connected with his name are a quite fancyful.
There are many versions of story of St George slaying the dragon, but most agree on the following:
A town was terrorised by a dragon, and a young princess was offered to the beast.
When George heard about this he rode into the village, he slayed the dragon and rescued the princess.
In details, as story goes, St. George travelled for many months by land and sea until he came to Libya, where he met a poor hermit who told him that everyone in that land was in great distress, for a dragon had long ravaged the country.
“Every day”, said the old man, “he demands the sacrifice of a beautiful maiden and now all the young girls have been killed. The king’s daughter alone remains, and unless we can find a knight who can slay the dragon she will be sacrificed tomorrow. The king of Egypt will give his daughter in marriage to the champion who overcomes this terrible monster.”
When St. George heard this story, he was determined to try and save the princess, so he rested that night in the hermit’s hut, and at daybreak set out to the valley where the dragon lived.
When he drew near he saw a little procession of women, headed by a beautiful girl dressed in pure Arabian silk. The princess Sabra was being led by her attendants to the place of death. The knight spurred his horse and overtook the ladies. He comforted them with brave words and persuaded the princess to return to the palace. Then he entered the valley.
As soon as the dragon saw him it rushed from its cave, roaring with a sound louder than thunder. Its head was immense and its tail 150 meters long. But St. George was not afraid, and he struck the monster with his spear, hoping he would wound it.
However the dragon’s scales were so hard that the spear broke into a thousand pieces, and St. George fell from his horse. Fortunately he rolled under an enchanted orange tree against which poison could not prevail, so that the venomous dragon was unable to hurt him. Within a few minutes he had recovered his strength and was able to fight again.
He smote the beast with his sword, but the dragon poured poison on him and his armour split in two. Once more he refreshed himself from the orange tree and then, with his sword in his hand, he rushed at the dragon and pierced it under the wing where there were no scales, so that it fell dead at his feet.
St George is always depicted as a knight carrying a shield with a red cross (or a banner with a red cross), generally sitting upon a horse and always killing a dragon.
St George is patron saint not only of England but also of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Pomorie, Qormi, Lod and Moscow.
St George is also patron saint of scouts, soldiers, archers, cavalry and chivalry, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and he helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphilis.
He is also patron Saint of scouting. On the Sunday nearest to 23 April, in fact, scouts and guides throughout England parade through high streets and attend a special service at their local church.
By tradition, 23 April is also the day for a red rose in the button hole, the national flower.
However, unlike other countries, England does not celebrate it with parties or fireworks. In fact, you are more likely to see big St Patrick parades in England celebrating Ireland’s National Day, more than you would see any sign of St Georges Day being celebrated!
For most people in England St George’s Day is just another ordinary working day.
Interestingly, despite the fact that St. George has been the patron saint of England since the 14th century, only one in five people know that St. George’s Day falls on 23 April, and more than a quarter of people living in England do not even know who their patron saint is!
St. George more frequently appears in Mummers’ Plays during Easter and Christmas celebrations, plays that have been performed in Britain for hundreds of years. They are folk dramas based on the legend of St. George and the Seven Champions of Christendom.

Sixty Years of Exploration, Innovation, and Discovery!
Exactly sixty years ago today, we opened our doors for the first time. And since then, we have opened up a universe of discovery and innovation.
There are so many achievements to celebrate from the past six decades, there’s no way we can go through all of them. If you want to dive deeper into our history of exploration, check out NASA: 60 Years and Counting.
In the meantime, take a moonwalk down memory lane with us while we remember a few of our most important accomplishments from the past sixty years!
In 1958, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, which effectively created our agency. We officially opened for business on October 1.
To learn more about the start of our space program, watch our video: How It All Began.
Alongside the U.S. Air Force, we implemented the X-15 hypersonic aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s to improve aircraft and spacecraft.
The X-15 is capable of speeds exceeding Mach 6 (4,500 mph) at altitudes of 67 miles, reaching the very edge of space.
Dubbed the “finest and most productive research aircraft ever seen,” the X-15 was officially retired on October 24, 1968. The information collected by the X-15 contributed to the development of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programs.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. The crew of Apollo 11 had the distinction of completing the first return of soil and rock samples from beyond Earth.
Astronaut Gene Cernan, during Apollo 17, was the last person to have walked on the surface of the moon. (For now!)
The Lunar Roving Vehicle was a battery-powered rover that the astronauts used during the last three Apollo missions.
To learn more about other types of technology that we have either invented or improved, watch our video: Trailblazing Technology.
Our long-term Earth-observing satellite program began on July 23, 1972 with the launch of Landsat 1, the first in a long series (Landsat 9 is expected to launch in 2020!) We work directly with the U.S. Geological Survey to use Landsat to monitor and manage resources such as food, water, and forests.
Landsat data is one of many tools that help us observe in immense detail how our planet is changing. From algae blooms to melting glaciers to hurricane flooding, Landsat is there to help us understand our own planet better.
Off the Earth, for the Earth.
To learn more about how we contribute to the Earth sciences, watch our video: Home, Sweet Home.
Space Transportation System-1, or STS-1, was the first orbital spaceflight of our Space Shuttle program.
The first orbiter, Columbia, launched on April 12, 1981. Over the next thirty years, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour would be added to the space shuttle fleet.
Together, they flew 135 missions and carried 355 people into space using the first reusable spacecraft.
On January 16, 1978, we selected a class of 35 new astronauts–including the first women and African-American astronauts.
And on June 18, 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman to enter space on board Challenger for STS-7.
Everybody loves Hubble! The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990, and has been blowing our minds ever since.
Hubble has not only captured stunning views of our distant stars and galaxies, but has also been there for once-in-a-lifetime cosmic events. For example, on January 6, 2010, Hubble captured what appeared to be a head-on collision between two asteroids–something no one has ever seen before.
In this image, Hubble captures the Carina Nebula illuminating a three-light-year tall pillar of gas and dust.
To learn more about how we have contributed to our understanding of the solar system and beyond, watch our video: What’s Out There?
Cooperation to build the International Space Station began in 1993 between the United States, Russia, Japan, and Canada.
The dream was fully realized on November 2, 2000, when Expedition 1 crew members boarded the station, signifying humanity’s permanent presence in space!
Although the orbiting lab was only a couple of modules then, it has grown tremendously since then!
This photograph of the moon was taken after trans-Earth insertion when the Apollo 10 spacecraft was high above the lunar equator near 27 degrees east longitude. North is about 20 degrees left of the top of the photograph. Apollo Landing Site 3 is on the lighted side of the terminator in a dark area just north of the equator. Apollo Landing Site 2 is near the lower left margin of the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis), which is the large, dark area near the center of the photograph.
“Bob, this is Gene, and I’m on the surface and as I take man’s last steps from the surface, back home, for some time to come, but we believe not too long into the future. I’d like to just let, what I believe history will record, that America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.”
(14 Dec. 1972) — An excellent view of the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules (CSM) photographed from the Lunar Module (LM) “Challenger” during rendezvous and docking maneuvers in lunar orbit. The LM ascent stage, with astronauts Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt aboard, had just returned from the Taurus-Littrow landing site on the lunar surface. Astronaut Ronald E. Evans remained with the CSM in lunar orbit. Note the exposed Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) Bay in Sector 1 of the Service Module (SM). Three experiments are carried in the SIM bay: S-209 lunar sounder, S-171 infrared scanning spectrometer, and the S-169 far-ultraviolet spectrometer. Also mounted in the SIM bay are the panoramic camera, mapping camera and laser altimeter used in service module photographic tasks. A portion of the LM is on the right.
Roving about the moon. Gene Cernan, last man on the 🌔, stands by the lunar rover during Apollo 17, Dec 1972. Following this mission, all Apollo hardware would be used on the Skylab & Apollo-Soyuz missions.

How to simplify radicals
Radicals can be simplified through adding and subtracting, but you should keep in mind that you sometimes can't "cleanly" simplify square roots down into a number. The first thing to note is that radicals can only be added and subtracted if they have the same root number. If the radicals in a question are unlike, you won't be able to combine them together. That's one of the main rules for radicals that you should remember.
How to subtract radicals
Our example will help you grasp the basics of what we mean when we say you have to find like radicals before combining them. The simplifying radicals problem below deals with how to subtract radicals.
We are going to first simplify this expression. We will perform a division analysis for the number 90 in order to identify its roots:
We learn that 90 can be re-written as:
Since we are dealing with square roots (which is what a radical sign stands for. There should be a tiny 2 next to the radical sign to indicate that we're working with square roots, but it is generally accepted to simply write the sign without it), we are looking for numbers in pair. In this case, we can see that we have a pair of 3s
Now, we can take the pair outside of the radical (square root), leaving us with:
This means our question can be transformed into the following expression:
You can see that we've now identified the "like" radicals in the question: .
We can finally do the subtraction, and the result gives us:
As you can see, the number that we ultimately get isn't a clean, whole number, but rather a number followed by a radical. It's best to leave the number like this because if we take the square root of the radical, we'll get a messy decimal number. Unless if the question tells you to, there's no need to simplify it further. You've already got the simplest radical form via this answer.
How to add radicals
In this example, let's take a look to see how to add radicals, as well as deal with a cubic root rather than a square root.
Combine the expression into a single radical.
Again, let us first perform a division analysis for 340 and 3135
This allows us to rewrite the original question into this expression:
Since we are dealing with cube root, we are looking for numbers in triplets. In this case, we have a triplet of 2s in and a triplet of 3s in
Now, we can take the triplets outside of the radical (cubic root), and get this expression:
Now that the two numbers have the same radical: We can do the addition, and the result is:
Dealing with other roots of varying powers can be tackled in the same way. Just make sure you're combing the same roots, and not, say, a cubic root with a square root when you want to simplify radicals. There are some examples here that illustrate what to do when you have different roots.

Lucid cars have been gaining increasing popularity in recent years. The company has also gone through major changes recently, which has naturally confused its customers about where its manufacturing facilities are located.
Lucid cars were initially manufactured in a facility in Arizona. However, since September 2023, Lucid Motors has launched a second manufacturing facility in Saudia Arab, where they are currently training the local employees and have assembled up to 800 EV cars.
Continue reading below to find out more about lucid cars and where they are manufactured.
What Is Lucid Motors?
Lucid Motors has received numerous comparisons to Tesla—and this is no coincidence; several high-ranking employees at Lucid previously worked for Tesla. Peter Rawlinson, the current CEO of the company, was himself an engineer who had previously worked on the Tesla Model S. The exact details of his involvement at Tesla and whether his contributions were substantial or not have long been a matter of debate.
However, it is clear that Rawlinson does not intend for Lucid Motors to compete with Tesla; instead, he aims for the company to dominate the luxury EV car market. The company was initially established as a battery company under the name Atieva; however, this name was soon changed.
After much brainstorming, the business settled on the more distinctive and marketable Lucid as it repositioned itself as an electric vehicle manufacturer. The founders of Lucid Motors had substantial knowledge of EV batteries and powertrain technology, which allowed them to get off to a strong start once they started working on their own EV cars. The firm had also previously manufactured batteries for Formula E race cars.
This is why the Lucid Air is, without a doubt, one of the best range-and-performance-packed electric vehicles on the market. The company’s goal is to create the finest electric vehicle available for purchase, and it intends never to stop inventing. It aims to carve out its own niche and produce superior electric vehicles compared to all of its competitors, including Tesla.
Where are Lucid Cars Made?
Lucid Motors is a publicly listed electric vehicle company based in the United States and traded on the Nasdaq exchange. Lucid cars are designed in Newark, California, while the manufacturing facility is located in Casa Grande, Arizona. In 2022, Lucid introduced its first car, the Lucid Air sedan.
On September 17, 2018, Lucid Motors announced that it was in discussions with the Public Investment Fund, which is the Saudi Arabian sovereign investment fund, to obtain funding of over one billion dollars.
Lucid launched their second production factory in Saudi Arabia in September 2023, with an initial capacity to make 5,000 electric vehicles annually. This was in response to the Saudi government’s commitment to purchase up to 100,000 vehicles from Lucid over the course of ten years. By the end of that year, Lucid Group had trained over 200 local workers at its Saudi Arabian plant and had assembled nearly 800 automobiles.
The second Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-2) facility that Lucid built received major backing from the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), and the Economic City at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC).
This manufacturing plant is expected to play a key part in contributing to Saudi Arabia’s strategic goal of diversifying its economy. Lucid is also committed to supporting the Saudi Green Initiative’s objective to ensure that 30 percent of all new automobile sales in the Kingdom are electric by the year 2030.
The strategic position of the facility in close proximity to Jeddah will also serve as an opportunity for further development and growth of the recently formed domestic supply chain. This will increase demand for local suppliers and will promote growth over the long run.
Based on its strategic location on the Red Sea coast, Jeddah provides excellent land and sea access for Lucid’s supply chain, allowing the company to potentially export its finished premium electric vehicles to other regions.
Who is the Owner of Lucid Motors?
Although Lucid has attracted a significant number of investors throughout the years, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is the biggest shareholder of the American company. The first agreement with the PIF, which was worth more than one billion dollars, made it possible for Lucid to launch their firm and construct the Lucid Air in the manner that they had envisioned it.
However, a large number of people have voiced their disapproval of the company’s ties with the Saudi government due to Saudi Arabia’s dismal track record in terms of human rights issues. Keeping in mind that the Saudi Private Investment Fund is the primary stakeholder in Lucid, the problem is that Lucid is not in a position to take a stance on any matters relating to the Saudi government.
How Much Does Lucid Cost Compared to Tesla?
Over the course of its history, Tesla has produced a lineup of automobiles that range in price from being within a reasonable budget (for example, the Model 3 sedan, which costs $40,000) to being outright expensive (for example, the Model S Plaid, which costs over six figures).
On the other hand, the entry-level Lucid, the Air Pure, costs $87,400, making it a clear luxury competitor. When it comes to the Air Sapphire, a speed monster with an incredible amount of power, the price of the model goes all the way up to $249,000. As the price may suggest, Lucid is all about delivering a high level of luxury, performance, and technology, and it does not fail to deliver on any of these fronts.
Lucid Motors aims to be the pioneer in luxury EV cars, and it seems to be headed in the right direction with its two manufacturing plants located in both Arizona and Saudi Arabia. The location of its second plant in Saudi Arabia is strategic, allowing it to boost revenue and provide it with the ideal route for importing its vehicles to other regions.

Do you realize God has uniquely wired you? God didn’t save you just so He could take you to Heaven. He has an assignment for you here on earth. In this study, Chip Ingram explores passages from Romans, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians to understand the role of spiritual gifts. During this study you will examine your own life and learn how to pinpoint your primary spiritual gift, develop it and use it for a greater impact.
Teacher: Justin Rhymes
Getting to the Heart of Parenting
Parenting is hard, but there are few things in life that rise to this level of importance. God has chosen parents to be primary instruments in the shaping of a human soul.
Join pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp on a journey through the Bible to discover a different and better way to parent. There will be foundational parenting principles as well as specific application for parenting.
Teacher: Kevin and Marcy Deaton
Defined (Women only)
Before asking, who am I? we need to be able to answer, who is God? If we can’t answer the first question, we will never answer the second. The problem with our search for identity is that we are looking in all the wrong places. Scripture teaches that we are all made in the image of God. We do not define ourselves—the Creator does. We were all created to be known and loved by God. Once those answers are clear, we can move forward and discover all God has called us to be.
Teacher: Deana Shirley
33 The Series (Men only)
Every man’s life tells a “story.” In the pursuit of Authentic Manhood, every man must understand and come to grips with the defining moments and key relationships that have shaped his unique “story.” This volume of 33 The Series provides men with biblical perspective of their “story.” It equips them to embrace how their past has affected their present and prepares them to deal with whatever the future may hold.
In a Man and His Story, both experts and regular guys will help men learn from their past, come alive in their present and enjoy God’s best in the future

Being at the heart of artificial intelligence studies, the problem of how knowledge can be represented in machines focuses on constructing formal systems that have high expressive power close to natural language and that are far from computational complexity. One of these systems, the depiction logics not only represent the domain knowledge in two district structures that are close to the expressiveness of natural language but also formalize the domain knowledge in a decidable manner. These computationally and ontologically robust formal systems apply open-world assumption in reasoning so that different models can be derived from the provided information. Designed for automated reasoning, one of the biggest ambitions of all time, the description logics gain importance day by day, then we aim to introduce description logics to the researchers in philosophical logic and to the researchers in systematic philosophy who are interested in ontology/knowledge engineering. Last but not least, this work is produced as the first of the articles to promote this interdisciplinary field in Turkish.

Taxonomy of Marine Flora : 13-31 juillet 2020 - registration open 4/02
This master degree summer course is a hands-on introduction to marine plants with an emphasis on seaweeds. It trains you to recognise and identify the typical marine algae in various coastal habitats. The organisms are studied in their environment during field trips, and also in vivo back at the laboratory. These studies form the foundation from which the main issues in the systematics, biology, ecology and evolution of marine flora are addressed.
Course "Expertise in Marine Flora" - 1 to 19JULY 2019
The course includes :
Fieldwork: Five field trips to very contrasting coastal and nearshore habitats are organised. Located within 40 km from Roscoff, the field sites are accessible during low tide. Samples from pelagic and subtidal environments are taken during an outing on one of the SBR’s vessels (when possible).
Practical coursework: in vivo observation of sampled species under a dissecting microscope or optical microscope to study the biological and taxonomic criteria presented during lectures. Each student has access to a microscope and a dissecting microscope during the whole course.
Exercises in using identification keys: Students have access to a number of specialised works and teaching documents designed for the course to identify the species collected during field trips. Students also have access to tools available on-line.
Lectures on the characteristics of the main phyla of seaweed: morphology, anatomy, reproduction, ecology, classification (including molecular phylogeny).
Projects : students participate to a collaborative work to produce a list of native or introduced species that grow in artificial habitats (leisure harbor) of Roscoff. They can also prepare a herbarium.
The course is organised by the Station Biologique de Roscoff, which offers many possibilities for studying the temperate marine flora. It provides access to a a wide range of habitats: rocky to sandy/muddy substrates, exposed to sheltered shores, etc.
The course instructors are research lecturers in phycology who have extensive teaching experience on seaweed biodiversity in coastal and nearshore environments.

Course detailed content
Topics addressed during the course:
Introduction to the systematics, phylogeny and taxonomy of the main groups of seaweeds
Cytological, biochemical, ecological features of the main groups green, red and brown seaweeds; diatoms and dinoflagellates are also briefly introduced
Reproductive features and life cycles of algae
Introduction to marine microalgae and marine plants diversity
Exploration of various coastal habitats; rocky habitats (3 outings), sandy/muddy habitats (1 outing), artificial habitat (1 outing), subtidal and pelagic habitats (1 outing depending on the availabilty pf the vessel), analysis of typical species collected, identification in the field
Analysis of habitats and the effect of biotic and abiotic factors on species distribution (vertical zonation of seaweed, exposure to waves, nature of the substrate, etc.).
Observation of the distinctive characteristics of the main groups of seaweed (cytology, anatomy, reproduction) on live material
Practice in using species identification keys
Practice in preparing slides for observation under the microscope
Extraction and analysis of pigments from frewh algae
Students participate to a collaborative work to produce a list of native and introduced species that grow in artificial habitats (leasure harbor, Roscoff)
Herbaria are prepared
Skills gained and Certification
The course constitutes a solid knowledge base on
the systematics and identification of the major seaweed phyla and the marine species most frequently encountered on English Channel coasts;
methods for determining marine algal species down to the species level;
demonstration of morphological and functional features as well as the lifestyle of seaweeds on the coast;
characterisation of the main types of coastal and nearshore environments along with their typical species composition.
The course is part of the University Pierre et Marie Curie Science of Universe, Environment , Ecology Masters program and the student can validate 6 ECTS units.
The course can be accredited by a Doctoral School.
This course is open 1rst year master students and superior level from French or foreign universities and thrird year undergraduate student if they can prove to have validated their exam before the beginning of the course
These summer schools are also open to continuing professionnal development trainees whose professionnal activities require knowledge in systematics, biology and marine ecology.
The Flora courses is given in english.
Registration for the Flora is handled after the application has been accepted by the head instructors.
