Rory McIlroy’s "scrappy" PGA Championship round produces strong results

Rory McIlroy looks strong after his Thursday round at the 2024 PGA Championship. McIlroy, who won this event in 2012 and 2014, fired a 5-under 66 to sit four behind leader Xander Schauffele on day one. He played a solid round of golf, collecting six birdies and one bogey.

Embark on a lunar adventure with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson in this episode of Space Nuts, as they delve into the challenges and innovations surrounding our celestial neighbor, the Moon. First up, the duo discusses the recent setbacks of Boeing's Starliner, a spacecraft that faced yet another delay just moments before its much-anticipated launch. What went wrong this time, and what does it mean for the future of crewed missions?Next, they illuminate the idea of using mirrors to shine sunlight into the permanently shadowed craters of the Moon's South Pole. With the potential of harvesting water ice for resources, could this reflective solution be the key to sustaining future lunar bases?Then, celebrate a special anniversary with the team as they highlight ten years of HIPPI, the High Precision Polarimetric Instrument, and its incredible contributions to astronomy. From tracking magnetic fields in distant galaxies to the possibility of detecting rainbows on exoplanets, HIPPI's decade of discovery is truly something to cheer about.Finally, the conversation turns to Earth as Andrew and Fred explore how satellites are revolutionizing agriculture by predicting crop yields from space. This technology holds promise for farmers around the globe, especially in the face of changing climate conditions.From the intricacies of space technology to the practical applications of satellite data, this episode of Space Nuts is a cosmic journey that connects the farthest reaches of the universe to the down-to-earth matters of daily life.

Day four of the 2023 IAG Crop Tour (final day)

Data from today. 270 miles driven. Average moving speed of 47.4 mph. Elevation min was 658ft, the max was 1120ft and we ascended and descended about 4k ft during the route. Our final tally is 24 crop stops and sampled nearly 50 fields of corn and soybeans.

A shorter day as we all got ready to split up and go home. We began in Kokomo, IN and headed east-northeast towards Ohio, and finally finished in south-central Michigan.

As we circled south and east of Fort Wayne, IN we started with exceptional yields that declined as we moved towards Ohio. We expect some potential was lost in northwestern Ohio generally due to early stress issues whether it be planting problems, compaction, or the dry June. Despite 3 corn samples from Van Wert, OH to Hudson, MI, our spot yield checks were consistent (from 190-200bpa). Soybeans were generally healthy but not as far along as what we had seen west of Indianapolis. As we turned North, we noticed pod fill was further behind. For the first time this tour, we found beans that need some finishing rains.

That’s it for tonight’s wrap up. Tomorrow we will start crunching the numbers and will have our final report out which a lot more details of the trip. This is the 2023 IAG Crop Tour, signing off.

Wait a minute…papa Tom doesn’t seem too hostile towards Nathalie. Or at least she doesn’t seem nervous/blackmailed. Does Tom not know her past allegiances or…is there an alliance in play?

Viceroy employs many in his arsenal, and as far as Nathalie is concerned, Tom is a coworker. :)
