50 manga chairs!
Manga is a means of expression with a high degree of flatness and abstraction, and which is composed of a series of lines. We could say that manga comics are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, since they can be traced back to Ukiyoe prints developed during the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.).
This installation of 50 manga chairs is the result of adapting the strong symbolic nature of manga comics to furniture design.Manga consist of a series of frames on a single sheet of paper that creates a sequence. Similarly, 50 standard chairs are lined up in a grid, each one conjures up a sense of story, and each with a design element from manga. For example, a "speech bubble" or "effect line" are added to visualize sound or action. Or emotional symbols from manga, like "sweat" or "tears", are formed so that a sense of story and character can be felt.
With the abstraction of manga comics in mind, physical aspects such as colour and texture are intentionally avoided as much as possible. Instead, a complete mirror finish is opted for, which generates new spatial layers as the mirror surface reflects the real world, just like manga does.

Our TLS chess team for students in grades K-8 is a great example of an extracurricular activity on campus that merges intellectual engagement with plain old fun. Research notes numerous benefits to playing chess, including the development of problem solving skills and a greater understanding of spatial relationships.
If you walk past practice on a Monday afternoon, however, what you are most likely to hear is the excitement of students sharing strategies and ideas with each other with smiles on their faces. The team is divided into several groups, ranging from competitive players to students who are learning the game for the very first time. This allows for time for both instruction in strategic approaches and time to play friendly games in which students can apply their newly learned strategies.
Teaches critical thinking skills (strategy matters).
Increases social skills (don't forget to shake hands at the end of the match)!

The debut of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing marks the first time in over 40 years of Mercedes AMG's history that the Mercedes-Benz performance brand is presenting a vehicle developed entirely in-house. It is also the first time Mercedes AMG is presenting a car with an aluminum chassis and body making the all-new SLS AMG the perfect combination of lightweight design and strength.
Thanks to superb engineering, the SLS excels on both road and track. This exhilarating super sports car accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and the rear spoiler extends automatically at a speed of 75 mph to provide outstanding stability.
The distinctively curved, top-hinged gullwing doors were born from the high sills required by the race-derived design while the interior of the SLS AMG was inspired by aviation. The curvaceous, wide opening gullwing doors ensure easy entry and exit despite the low seating position typical of sports cars and the air vents are meant to resemble jet engines.
With its purist design and distinctive styling, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is the ultimate culmination of supreme luxury and extreme performance.

Carhartt Wip Script Tee Grey Heather/White
The Carhartt brand became an anti-fashion icon in the 70's and 80's with the grunge and punk and later with the Hip Hop world and remains popular with rappers to this day. This led to the WIP line, making Carhartt fashionable in Europe and Asia. In 1996, Mark Valade became the President of Carhartt. Mark heralded the company into the global era with the formation of European operations and Internet technologies. He launched Carhartt-owned retail stores, a full women's line, and our extremely successful Flame-Resistant line of garments. Ever the visionary, he introduced new technologies such as Quick Duck®, Storm Defender®, Rain Defender®, Carhartt Force® and others. With entrepreneurial vision and determination, Hamilton Carhartt and the next three generations of Carhartts have established a brand that has stood the test of time. Today, Carhartt employs over 2,000 U.S. associates in Detroit, Kentucky, and Tennessee, including over 900 UFCW members. Last year, over 7,000,000 garments were produced in four American factories. We're proud that we've never stopped making workwear in the USA for 125 years.

Name a more iconic squad, we'll wait.
Something happened in Hollywood last night (Jan 8). We're not QUITE sure what it was but judging by these pictures, we assume it's just a glamorous birthday party for the kids from Stranger Things?
Naaah, we're just kidding. It is, of course, the Golden Globes and Stranger Things was nominated - and lost - for a few awards; Best TV Drama Series alongside a nomination our Mom, Winona Ryder for Best Actress In A TV Drama. (Slay a bit Joyce Byers.) BUT ENOUGH OF THAT. You wanna see some pictures of everyone's favourite teens slaying the red carpet? Brace yourselves, you're going to die.
Shortly before hitting the red carpet, Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) shared a stylish snap of the squad.
And then BOOM, they arrived! Name a more iconic squad, we'll wait.
Just after the boys hit the carpet, the illusive Eggo Queen herself made her shimmering debut at the Globes.
Listen up fives! An eleven is speaking.
No, seriously... where do we send the adoption papers?
As if all that red carpet glamour wasn't enough, the gang made a cameo in the opening segment of the show dressed in character, rapping about Eggo waffles and the revival of... BARB!
The squad may have lost out on their awards tonight but we have a feeling they could sweep the SAG awards on January 29. You bring the cups and we'll bring the ice? It's a deal.

Alive: In American play, a ball which has cleared a wicket but has not roqueted another ball is alive on that ball. A striker becomes dead on a ball as soon as it hits it and receives a croquet shot and a continuation shot. If the strikers ball is dead on another ball and roquets that ball before deadness is cleared, the balls are replaced to their positions before the shot was made and the turn ends. In the British game, all balls are alive at the start of each players turn.
All-Around Break: Running all the wickets in one turn.
Angle of Divergence: Angle at which balls part when a croquet shot is made. (see: Newtonian Physics).
Angle of Split: On a croquet shot, the angle between two lines, along which the two balls travel. see:Geometry).
Apple: The name of the company that manufactured the machine the author used to write this book. Also, the object that fell on Newtons head that began his thinking on what has become known as Newtonian physics. An understanding of Newtonian physics is extremely helpful in understanding the movement of the balls as they are played during the game.
Aunt Emma: A conservative player who wastes talent through dull and uninspired play. This player simply tries to advance from one wicket to the next.
Back Peel: Peeling a ball through its wicket, immediately after running that wicket.
Ball in Hand: A ball that has to be picked up and moved, either before taking croquet or because it has gone out of bounds. Any player may pick up a ball that has roqueted another ball or has gone out of bounds. (see: Etiquette).
Baulk-Line: On each of the short sides of the yard-line are other unmarked lines, approximately 12 yards in length, known as the Baulk-lines. In British play, these are the starting lines.
Beefy Shot: A long-hard shot.
Being Off Color: The opposite of hitting true.
Bisque: A shot that can replayed from its original position with no penalty. It offers the lesser experienced player a handicap. A unit of difference between two players handicaps, it is the number of extra turns given to a player with the highest handicap.
Bisque Extraction: Strategy of making your opponent use up his bisques ineffectively or for defensive purposes only.
Break: Extending your turn by using one or more of the other balls. The break results from using other balls to run wickets. This is the basis in croquet strategy as the different breaks: two-, three- and four-ball breaks allow the player to advance through the wickets, ideally in conjunction with his partners ball.
Break down: To err so that your turn involuntarily comes to an end during the course of a break. This occurs by missing the intended shot or by incurring a penalty.
Cannon shot: To make a roquet on the same shot as a croquet.
Carrying Through: Following through with your arms leading: the term was coined by Lord Tallemache.
Center Style: Traditional stance with the mallet between your knees.
Cleaning: Also known as clearing, it is the running of a wicket, and therefore removing deadness on all other balls. Having a dirty ball means that the ball may be picked up (ball-in-hand) and actually cleaned upon notification of ones opponents. It is then replaced to its position with no incurred penalty. (exception: see Rover).
Clips: The color of each ball, the clips are placed on the next wicket that a ball for. The clips are placed on the top of the wickets through the first six wickets and on the sides for the six back wickets. They are used in tournament play and by the easily confused.
Cold Ball: The roque, the last ball played of your opponent.
Condoning: Failure of a player to claim a foul within the limits of claims makes the play in question valid, with no foul charged to the striker.
Contact: To touch or make contact with another ball. A foul when your your mallet contacts another ball and the turn ends.
Continuation stroke: The extra stroke earned by running a wicket, and the stroke after making a croquet.
Corner: To hit your ball or croquet another ball into a corner for defensive purposes. This shot can also be a tice.
Corner Cannon Shot: Combination of rush and croquet stroke; roqueting a ball after taking croquet from another ball that is in the corner.
Corner Flags: Placed at the four corners of the course.
Corner Pegs: These are placed a yard on each side of the corner flags.
Croquet Shot: The croquet shot is the shot made after a roquet. The strikers ball is placed in contact with the roqueted ball and in taking croquet both balls are sent to their desired positions.
Cross peg: A leave in which the opponents balls are left straddling the peg, thus preventing a desired shot by your opponent.
Cross wire: A leave in which your opponents balls are left on each side of a wicket, thus preventing a desired shot by your opponent.
Crown: The top part of a wicket.
Crush Shot: Used to jar a ball through a wicket when the ball is laying against the wicket.
Cut Rush: A shot played so that the rushed ball moves off at an angle to the direction of the stroke.
Deadness: When a strikers ball hits another ball, the striker cannot use that ball until going through the next wicket. The striker is dead on the other ball, after taking the croquet shot.
Deadness Board: Board used to keep track of deadness throughout the game. (see: Equipment).
Delayed Triple Peel: Abandoning a triple peel temporarily, to be resumed later in the turn.
Destroy Shot: A shot taken with the great force in order to send a croqueted ball the furthest distance possible.
Double Banking: Playing two games simultaneously on the same course due to time or space restrictions. The games are completely separate.
Double Elimination: Tournament in which alone two matches before being eliminated.
Double Peel: A ball knocked through two wickets in the same turn, but not not necessarily on the same stroke.
Double roll: A shot in which the strikers ball rolls the same distance as the roquets ball.
Double Tap: A fault in which the strikers ball is hit twice in the same shot.
Drive Shot: By hitting slightly down on the striker's ball during croquet, the croqueted ball travels approximately 3 times the distance.
Fault: A foul or unacceptable stroke.
Feather-off: A light take-off shot.
Foot Shot: A croquet shot taken with the foot on the ball; legal only in nine wicket.
Forestall: A foul is committed and the opponent does not stop play before the next stroke to claim a misplay, no penalty is assessed; the foul is forestalled.
Four Ball Break: The backbone of the game, in which all four balls are used to go around the course, ideally in a single turn.
Free Shot: A shot which, if missed, will not have dire consequences. The more advanced the play, however, the less chance there is for free shots as each shot becomes necessary. One shot can mean the difference between winning and losing, even on the first wicket.
Fun: Above all else, croquet should be.
Golf Style: Style of swing in which the mallet is swung cross the body like a putter.
Go to Bed with Bisques: To lose in a handicap game with one or more unused bisques.
Half-Jump Shot: By hitting down on the ball, the striker drives both obstructing and strikers ball through the wicket.
Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle: In 1907 while at a physics meeting in Copenhagen Werner Heisenberg, one of the foremost physicists of the time, presented the Uncertainty Principle which states that one cannot know both the momentum and the position of a body in motion with any precision. This set quantum mechanics on its ear. Einstein finally accepted this principle many years later.
Hitting True: Hitting the ball with a level swing, as opposed to hitting up or down.
Hong Kong: Archaic term for taking croquet.
Hoop: the English term for wicket.
Hoop-Bound: When ones swing is hindered by a wicket.
Hoop Doc: the therapist or psychiatrist consulted by a player suffering extremes of anxiety associated with wicket-shooting errors.
Hoop-Running Shot: A shot through the proper wicket.
Irish Peel: A roll stroke which is similar to the half-jump shot, in which both balls go through their wickets.
Irish Style: Similar to the center style, but using the Irish grip.
Is For: The next wicket that a ball is headed for, e.g. red is for 1 back.
Jam: An illegal shot made with unlawfully prolonged contact between the ball and the arch when a ball lies against the wicket.
Jaws: Entrance to the wicket. (see: Hades).
Join up: To play the ball near its partner.
Jump Ball: By hitting down on the ball, the striker can make the ball jump over an obstructing ball; prohibited on some courses.
Kiss Cannon: Similar to a corner cannon shot with the added element of hitting a third ball with the croqueted ball, as well as roqueting the intended target with the strikers ball.
Knocking up: Hitting practice balls to get the feel of the course. Not to be confused with its crasser meaning in regards to getting a woman pregnant.
Lay up: A long, reckless, wild shot to escape from a dangerous position when there is uncertainty about the next shot.
Leave: The position of the balls after a shot.
Level Play: A non-handicapped competition.
Lift: A ball in-hand is lifted for repositioning, either after the roquet or going out of bounds.
Limit of Claims: Time during which a fault can be called, or else it is invalid. (see: Forestalling).
Momentum: Momentum is a combination of how large an object is, how fast it is going and the direction it is moving. (see Vectors).
Newtonian Physics: Sir Isaac Newtons Laws of Motions still apply to todays croquet. Every action is accompanied by an equal and opposite reaction, so when blue is struck it moves off on a straight line forever, unless friction acts on the ball, thereby slowing the ball, or blue hits red, for instance, and the force that blue hits red determines the angle that the two balls separate and whether or not either of them go out of bounds.
Next-Two Leave: A leave whereby the striker leaves his partner with a rush to the wicket and the opponents ball at each of the next two wickets.
No Brainer: A lucky and fortuitous shot.
Non-Playing side: Area on the other side of the wicket that is being played.
Off the ...: When a ball scores a wicket off another ball, it is off the red.
One-Ball Shot: A shot in which only one ball is hit.
Pass Roll: A croquet shot in which the strikers ball goes further than the croqueted ball.
Peel: Causing another ball to make the wicket.
Peg-Down: To interrupt a game, marking the position of the balls and clips, with the intention if resuming later.
Pegged-Out Game: Game in which at least one ball has pegged out.
Penultimate: The next to last wicket.
Pilot Ball: The ball off which a wicket is made in a four-ball break.
Pioneer Ball: In a three- or four- ball break, the ball that is sent forward to the wicket after the one the striker is going for.
Pivot Ball: The middle ball in a four-ball break.
Playing Side: Area in front of the wicket being approached.
Pool: The same laws of motion apply in croquet that apply in pool (billiards). The major difference between the two is that croquet is played on a much larger table.
Predictability: It is extremely difficult to predict the outcome of any shot due to the myriad of factors affecting the ball: the very shape, size, weight, surface and compactness of the ball all contribute to how it responds to being stuck by the mallet, the attributes of which must also be figured in the equation: weight, density of the wood or plastic, configuration of the face or hitting surface. Combine with this the state of the course upon which the game is being played, whether or not it is grass or artificial turf, length of the grass, levelness of the overall course, and the weather! Humidity, air density (playing in Denver will be different than in Newport), temperature, wind, sun will all affect how the balls respond. Fortunately, players need to be adaptable from one shot to the next and may be able to just take the shot and not be overly concerned about the individual variables affecting any given game. All players will be affected by the course and weather in the same way on any particular day. (see Chapter on Weather).
Predominance: A common error in which a hand or a foot leads the swing too much.
Pseudo-Cannon Shot: A three ball croquet shot in which the the croqueted ball moves just a little way out of the corner.

Push: Keeping the mallet on the ball for an appreciable amount of time. A legal shot as long as one does not speed up the mallet during the shot.
Quadruple Peel: A four-wicket peel.
Qualifying shot: The shot that begins a turn.
Quantum mechanics: The laws of Quantum Mechanics do not necessarily apply to croquet but make a fascinating study. A most excellent reference is The Dancing Wu Li Masters, by Gary Zukov, William Morrow and Co. 1979.
Questionable stroke: A play of dubious legality, or in which there is a chance of a foul. Referee should be consulted.
Quintuple Peel: A five wicket peel, rarely seen.
Reverse Palm Grip: The most popular grip, made with the lower hands palm facing away from the body, and the upper hands palm facing towards the body.
Right of Choice: After a lag or coin toss, the winner has the choice of starting position or choice of balls.
Rigor Mortis: Being dead on all balls, also know as three ball dead or three B D.
Roll Stroke: A croquet shot used to add distance to the striker's ball as well as the croqueted ball, by striking down on the ball rather than a level shot.
Roquet: When the strikers ball hits another ball, followed by a croquet shot and a continuation shot.
Rover Ball: The rover is a ball that has passed through all the wickets but has not yet pegged out.
Rover Wicket: The last wicket before the peg.
Rutledges Handbook of Croquet: English publication (1861) written by Edmund Rutledge, probably the first rule book of the game and, and with adaptations, still governs the game.
Rush (Long or Short): A roque shot which sends the roqueted ball in a given direction.
Rush Line: An imaginary line along which a ball is roqueted on a rush shot.
Rush Line Principle: The shot made before an intended rush shot should be taken from a spot on or near the rush line.
Scatter: A shot played only as a last resort which separates balls that lie too close together.
Sextuple Peel: Part of a plan to finish the game in two breaks, similar to a quadruple peel.
Shepherding: An illegal stroke of guiding the ball through through the wicket with the mallet.
Side: Technique in which the ball is not struck with the center of the mallet: used for cut rushes and awkward wickets.
Spin: The angular momentum that a moving object has is determined by mass, size and spin. It is more difficult to stop a merry-go-round than a small top. Civil War soldiers could have their foot taken off while trying to stop a rolling cannon ball because of its momentum.
Split Shot: A croquet shot in which both balls go off at different angles (see Newtonian physics).
Stalk: Approaching the ball along the line it is to be sent, in order to insure proper aim.
Stepping Stone: When a ball is placed in an advantageous position near a wicket or the peg.
Sticky Wicket: Having a difficult approach to the wicket, or being stuck in the wicket.
Stop Shot: By delivering an upward shot to the strikers ball during a croquet, the croqueted ball is sent a considerable distance and strikers ball barely moves.
Straight Croquet: A shot in which the strikers ball goes half the distance of the croqueted ball.
Straight Triple Peel: Doing three peels with the backward ball making the same three wickets.
Striker: The player whose turn it is. Turns are determines by the color of the balls: blue, red, black, yellow (green, orange). A strike is the actual hitting of the ball with the mallet.
Stroke: Movement of the mallet beginning with the backstroke and ending with the follow-through whether or not the ball is hit.
Stymie: A ball that is blocking the intended path of the strikers ball.
Take-Off Shot: A croquet shot in which the strikers ball travels a great distance, but the croqueted ball moves very little.
Thick Take-Off: A croquet shot in which the croqueted ball moves further than on a simple take-off and the croqueted ball goes a considerable distance.
Three- Ball Break: Break using three balls, it is the cornerstone of the pegged-out game.
Tice: A shot which places a ball in a position in which the opponent is likely to shoot at it, but at a sufficient distance that the shot will be missed. This shot entices the opponent to shoot at it and if missed, places the opponents ball in a disadvantageous position. Tices are meant to be seductive and more often than not end up with unfortunate results.
Two-Ball Break: Break using two balls, it is the most difficult of all the breaks, as it involves shots of the greatest distance.
Upright Style: Another name for the front style of swinging the mallet, which gives greater movement and more power.
Up the Country: Another name for taking croquet.
Vectors: Vectors are lines defined by moving objects. For instance, when red is struck the line that red travels is its vector. If red were not affected by any other forces, it would travel at the same speed and direction to infinity. However, red may strike yellow, in which case yellow will alter the direction and speed of red, as well as moving along its own vector at an equal and opposite direction from that of red. (see Newtonian physics).
Waive: To pass on ones turn.
Wicket: The metal upright through which the balls are played. Wickets are either wire for the friendly back yard game, or 5/8 inch steel uprights 12 inches high and 3 3/4 inch wide.
Willis Setting: Introduced in 1922, it is the basis for the six wicket, one peg game.
Winter Wickets: Thin wire wickets used when the ground is frozen. Why the summer wickets were not left in is a question for the psychologist.
Wired Ball: A ball behind the wicket or peg that cannot be hit by the strikers ball or other ball because of the obstruction.
Zinger: A tea made with red zinger (Hibiscus flowers, rosehips, lemon grass, orange peel, natural flavors, and citric acid) which when laced with Vodka or Everclear will affect your opponents play, thereby giving you a decided edge to being able to win. This can also be done with specialty coffees, etc. A tactic not recommended for polite play.

BlackBerry will license its operating system to third-party smartphone manufacturers, according to the company's Senior Vice President, Alex Thurber. Dubbed as the second phase of its licensing plan, the Canadian firm will allow other handset makers to use the BlackBerry Secure operating system for their own devices. Thurber claims that the company is currently negotiating with several smartphone manufacturers regarding potential partnerships, but he did not specify the brands that are interested in utilizing BlackBerry's Android-based software offering, though such info might be revealed in the near future.
It is not yet clear how this licensing deal will work, but it seems that the manufacturer will outsource the development of the operating system to BlackBerry. The Canadian firm, on the other hand, will develop software that is compatible with the phone's hardware. This licensing deal could prove beneficial for both manufacturers and consumers. Licensing the BlackBerry Secure OS could be an alternative for smartphone manufacturers, who want to develop more secure handsets without the huge software development cost. On the other hand, consumers who utilize these phones will be well-protected against vulnerability exploits and malware attacks. This partnership could also prove beneficial to third-party OEMs when it comes to software updates, BlackBerry isn't exactly the first OEM to get Android updates, but it is much faster than some other manufacturers, so it all depends on who decides to license BlackBerry OS, but it is possible that it will benefit some OEMs.
BlackBerry is also hoping to capitalize in the growing connected devices market by incorporating its solutions in IoT products and systems. John Chen, the company's CEO and Executive Chairman, believes that IoT systems will only fully realize its potential to improve lives if the privacy and security of the user are protected. Right now, the firm is offering software solutions for television sets, wearables, and medical devices. The company noted that many smart TVs run Android, making it easy for its developers to create the appropriate software. Medical devices, on the other hand, must be secured against hackers, as these pieces of equipment store very important personal and medical data. The company has also recently released a product for connected cars, with more than 60 million cars already using BlackBerry's offerings for communication.

MILWAUKEE (AP) Christian Yelich and the Milwaukee Brewers beat up on the Chicago Cubs' bullpen to turn a pitchers' duel into a rout.
Yelich went 4 of 5 with a three-run homer, Brandon Woodruff pitched six strong innings and the Brewers beat the Cubs 7-0 on Saturday night. The Brewers won for just the ninth time in the last 24 games as they try to move back into playoff position.
"We've just got to keep going," Yelich said. "It's been a tough couple of weeks for us, but we're not out of it by any means. It can start at any time. You never know which day or night it's going to be."
After Woodruff and Chicago's Drew Smyly kept the game scoreless through six innings, the Brewers broke through in the bottom of the seventh with four runs off reliever Rowan Wick (4-7).
Kolten Wong added a solo shot and Willy Adames hit a two-run blast off Michael Rucker in the eighth.
"Every game from here on out is important," Woodruff said. "We know we need to win. We know we're gonna have to play good baseball going into September and October if we want to have a chance to make the playoffs. You never know, maybe tonight is the start of something pretty cool and hopefully we continue to play good baseball."
Victor Caratini and Kolten Wong started the seventh-inning rally with consecutive singles. Pinch-hitter Jace Peterson then bunted to third baseman Christopher Morel, whose wild throw to first instead went into foul territory in shallow right field. Caratini scored, Wong advanced to third and Peterson reached second on the error.
Yelich followed by sending a 2-2 pitch over the wall in the right-field corner.
Wick has allowed at least one run in four of his last six appearances.
"It just kind of got away from him," Cubs manager David Ross said. "It just wasn't his night."
The homer was Yelich's 10th of the season, but just his second since July 2. He also went deep Aug. 16 in a 5-4, 11-inning victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Yelich also singled in the third, fifth and eighth innings for his first four-hit game since he hit for the cycle in a 14-11 loss at Cincinnati on May 11.
"He hit the ball really hard today, which is what we've seen when he's doing good, just a lot of hard contact and having good at-bats," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
Woodruff struck out 10 and allowed four hits and one walk. His outing ended after a shot from Franmil Reyes with a 110-mph exit velocity hit him in the leg, though first baseman Rowdy Tellez fielded the ball and retired the batter.
"It was off the calf," Woodruff said. "It's good. I was able to walk off. It'll be a little sore tomorrow, but that will be all right."
This marked the second straight night a Brewers starter departed after holding the Cubs scoreless through six innings. Freddy Peralta had a no-hitter going Friday when he was removed at the start of the seventh inning of a game the Brewers eventually lost 4-3 in 10.
Taylor Rogers (2-6) struck out three batters in the seventh, ending the inning by retiring Morel with a runner on second. Cubs first base coach Mike Napoli was ejected after arguing the third-strike call on Morel.
Smyly struck out two and allowed five hits and one walk for Chicago to continue his outstanding August. The veteran left-hander has given up just three earned runs over 30 innings in five August starts.
"Everything's kind of connecting right now," Smyly said. "My mechanics really feel in sync."
TRAINER'S ROOM
Cubs: INF Patrick Wisdom went on the injured list, retroactive to Friday, with a sprained left ring finger. INF Alfonso Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Ross said Justin Steele was feeling fine one day after the left-hander left a start one out into the sixth inning with tightness in his lower back.
Brewers: RHP Trevor Rosenthal's status for the rest of the regular season is in jeopardy after he injured his lat in a rehabilitation appearance with Triple-A Nashville. Counsell said Rosenthal's injury is similar to the issue that kept RHP Freddy Peralta on the injured list for over two months earlier this season. ... OF Jonathan Davis (right elbow effusion) went on the 10-day injured list and C Alex Jackson (left wrist inflammation) went on the 60-day injured list). The Brewers selected OF Garrett Mitchell from Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers chose Mitchell out of UCLA with the 20th overall pick in the 2020 draft.
RHP Adrian Sampson (1-4, 4.04 ERA) starts for the Cubs and LHP Eric Lauer (9-5, 3.44) pitches for the Brewers in the final matchup of the season between these two NL Central rivals.

Flying taxis could poach passengers from planes, Avolon says By Reuters

By Tim Hepher
PARIS (Reuters) – Airbus and Boeing (NYSE:) watch out – one of the world's largest aircraft owners says passenger planes could see their wings clipped by the rapid spread of flying taxi startups.
Commercial air travel already faces competition from high-speed trains in parts of the world. But the head of Irish aircraft leasing firm Avolon said competition would shift skywards as it invested up to $2 billion in aerial shuttles.
Avolon is among the launch customers for up to 1,000 electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVOTL) aircraft being developed by Britain's Vertical Aerospace, which plans to go public through a merger with a blank-check firm.
German air shuttle startup Lilium said in March it would float on the U.S. stock market via a similar process.
The deals reflect growing interest in battery-powered aircraft that can take off and land vertically, offering a new way for travellers to beat traffic and hop between cities.
Vertical's VA-X4 has a range of 120 miles but that could be extended further, Avolon Chief Executive Domhnal Slattery said on late Thursday.
"The challenge for incumbent (planemakers) is if the range can extend to 400-500 miles, what is the implication for traditional narrowbodies?" he said in a Reuters interview.
Asked if the vehicles for four passengers and a pilot could take business from much larger commercial planes, Slattery said, "Eventually, yes of course. This is the inevitable future."
Planemakers have themselves invested in such projects.
Helicopter travel could also be squeezed.
"You have got to think that you have these machines that can disintermediate the legacy helicopters through just being 100 times quieter and no emissions," Slattery said.
Avolon has placed a firm order for 310 eVTOLs worth $1.25 billion and 190 options worth $750 million, Slattery said.
They will join an owned or managed fleet of 568 passenger aircraft all the way up to the 396-seat Boeing 777-300ER.
Slattery said Avolon had not decided how to deploy the air taxis, whose relatively short product development cycles mark a shift for leasing companies used to long-term jet investments.
"We could partner with airlines, we could establish our own entities in different jurisdictions around the world, we could partner with helicopter operators," Slattery said.
"I think it is going to take a lot of different forms over time. But the technology is here and we are going to lead commercialisation of it with zero-emission credentials".
The move comes at a time when aviation companies are jostling for leadership of the environmental agenda as they came under pressure from investors to help decarbonise flying and bolster their environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores.
Vertical Aerospace says eVTOL aircraft can help the industry meet carbon reduction goals through zero emissions and electrical power, where possible derived from renewable energy.
But experts say questions remain over the timing of safety certification, which eVOTL suppliers expect as early as 2024.

Tim Duncan: 15 Things You Didn't Know (Part 1)
By Eva Leger
FeaturedLifePeopleSports
Min-suk KIM aka Kwang33
Tim Duncan is often referred to as "The Big Fundamental." As his nickname suggests, he isn't necessarily the flashiest player in NBA history. But the San Antonio Spur has never played for another professional team, and he's definitely been one of the most successful big men to ever play the game. Keep reading for part one of our list of interesting Tim Duncan facts.
Number Fifteen: Tim Duncan is an Extremely Competitive Paintball Player
Or he was for at least one game. He once invited all of his teammates to play a game with him. And though he apparently had never played before, he got himself an expensive gun and gave out inaccurate shooters to the opposing team to ensure himself a victory.
Number Fourteen: His Favorite Television Shows Are Detective Shows
He's an avid watcher of CSI! Duncan has also stated that his favorite television shows are similar suspenseful dramas.
Number Thirteen: He Wouldn't Have Played Basketball if it Weren't for a Hurricane

Number Twelve: He Wears His College Shorts Backwards During Practice
Like many athletes, he has his superstitions. But this has to be the goofiest one.
Number Eleven: His Mom Died of Breast Cancer When He Was 14 Years Old

Number Ten: His Favorite Book is The Crow
It's a comic book, and it's fairly well-known because of the movie that was made of it in the 1990's. Duncan has said he likes anti-heroes, so this explains his love for The Crow.
Number Nine: Wolverine is His Favorite Superhero
The X-Men character isn't exactly an anti-hero, but he's not your average do-good superhero, either. It seems Tim Duncan has a soft spot for the badder heroes in comic book history. That's all the Duncan info for now, but check back soon for part two of this list!

We are available for 24/7 support, and when you call, you reach a technician who knows your account, not a 3rd party call centre.
We take our reputation in the Kamloops community seriously, and we care about providing fellow business owners with personalized service and 24/7 availability. Our clients never speak to a call centre or sales representative. Instead, we make sure that you always speak to a technician who is familiar with your business and understands your technology. We're more than a service provider. We're part of your business team.
