Mario Pinto, Vice President (Research and International) at the University of Manitoba. “We are proud to see the UM CubeSat project move forward for deployment by the Canadian Space Agency in the near future,” said Dr. It also speaks to the kind of innovative research happening at UM. The CubeSat may also give further insight into how asteroids form in the first place. Data from the satellite will be beamed back to the UM campus so that researchers here and at the CSA can better understand how changes in asteroid composition affects their cousins, meteorites. The satellite will collect information on how space conditions affect the composition of asteroids and the Moon. “I feel very grateful that I had the opportunity to work on this project as an international master’s student, and I’m very proud of our team for making it this far.” Knowing that a piece of hardware that was designed, made, and tested by me and my colleagues is going to be orbiting the Earth for the next couple of years is surreal,” says Aref Asgari, second-year M.Sc. ![]() “It feels great to see that the project that we spent years on finally ready to go to space. The goal is to give post-secondary institutions from each province and territory the opportunity for their students to take part in a real space mission by designing, building, launching, and operating their own miniature satellite. This is the first time a UM design has been selected by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for deployment to the International Space Station since it began its CubeSat project in 2018. “This project builds on a long-standing partnership between my research lab (the STARLab) and Magellan Aerospace, which embeds University researchers with professional space systems engineers in a world-class satellite integration ASIF (Advanced Satellite Integration Facility) at Magellan,” says Philip Ferguson, professor of mechanical engineering with the Price Faculty of Engineering and project lead. The satellite project, led by engineering students in the Space Technology and Advanced Research Laboratory (STARLab) isn’t much bigger than a 2-litre milk carton, but it could unlock the mysteries of asteroids, meteorites and the moon. The UM Cube Satellite may be small but it’s ready to make a big impact. ![]()

![]() She continued to attempt to spread her wings as a worldly "cougar" type opposite young blond and boyish Christopher Atkins in the critically-panned drama A Night in Heaven (1983). Warren went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination supporting Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson in the former, and a People's Choice Award for the latter. Earning both Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, this delightful, scene-stealing turn was followed by a couple of other quality offbeat films that were directed by Alan Rudolph - Choose Me (1984) and Songwriter (1984). In the early 1980s, Lesley's movie career resurrected itself with a priceless performance as kingpin James Garner's whiny-voiced, peroxide-blonde spitfire Norma Cassidy in the slapstick musical Віктор Вікторія (1982). On stage, she ambitiously attempted to recreate Scarlett O'Hara opposite Pernell Roberts's Rhett Butler in a 1973 Broadway-bound musical version of "Gone with the Wind: The Musical." The show quickly died on the West Coast before ever reaching New York. Lesley also impressed with her starring roles in the Civil War miniseries Beulah Land (1980) and as a Polish-Jewish immigrant in Evergreen (1985). Such 1970s material included the plane crash adventure Seven in Darkness (1969) as one of several blind survivors the love drama Love Hate Love (1971) co-starring Ryan O'Neal a failed pilot in the title role of Cat Ballou (1971) a mild western as one of The Daughters of Joshua Cabe (1972) the exotic "silent star" biopic The Legend of Valentino (1975) the rags-to-riches story Harold Robbins' 79 Park Avenue (1977), for which she won a Golden Globe award the epic WWII story Pearl (1978) and the social melodramas Betrayal (1978) and Portrait of a Stripper (1979). She displayed a wide range of vulnerable neurotics as well as sexier ladies that began to alter her pristine image. After only one season, Lesley realized her mission to grow was impossible (in spite of an encouraging Golden Globe nomination) and left the show, seeking greener pastures in the TV mini-movie market. Audiences were quite cool in their reception to the "new and improved" Lesley and didn't buy her as a femme-fatale replacement for the cool and aloof Ms. Changing her name temporarily to "Lesley Warren" to reinforce her more mature goal, she was hired in 1970 to replace Barbara Bain in the long-running espionage series Mission: Impossible (1966) when Bain left over contractual issues. Rebelling against her studio-imposed image, Lesley left Disney determined to pursue roles with more depth, drama and character. Co-starring in the moderately-received musical showcases The Happiest Millionaire (1967) and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band (1968), Lesley became convinced that she needed to quickly nip the saccharine stereotype in the bud if she was to grow and sustain as an adult actress. The Walt Disney people immediate signed the exquisite "Cinderella" to a fresh-faced ingénue contract. The attention Lesley received from this brief stage venture, however, led to her capturing the beguiling title role in the Richard Rodgers/ Oscar Hammerstein II TV musical production of Попелюшка (1965) with Stuart Damon as her Prince and a glittering, all-star cast in support. She subsequently received the Theatre World Award for her lead work as a "cat burglar" opposite Elliott Gould in the very short-lived (8 performances) musical "Drat! The Cat!" in 1965. ![]() Looking for on-camera work, the teenager appeared unbilled as Shelley Winters's young daughter in the melodrama The Chapman Report (1962) and was given a bit in the daytime TV show "The Doctors." The slender, young hopeful gathered early musical stage experience in such shows as "Bye Bye Birdie" (as swooning teen Kim McAfee), then made an auspicious Broadway debut in "110 in the Shade", the 1963 musical version of "The Rainmaker," and won Broadway's "Most Promising Newcomer" Award. At age 17, she studied under Lee Strasberg at his Actors Studio, the youngest student to ever be accepted at the time. Growing up, Lesley attended the Professional Children's School at the age of 6 and High School of Music & Art as a young teenager. Her mother had earlier given up her own entertainment career for marriage and family. ![]() The New York-born actress (August 16, 1946) is the daughter of a night club singer, Margot Warren (née Verblow), and real estate agent, William Warren. Little did she know that Hollywood stardom would arrive on her doorstep in the form of a "Cinderella" story. Entrancing, gorgeous Lesley Ann Warren started gearing towards a life in show business right off the bat as a young ballerina who trained at the School of American Ballet at the age of 14. ![]() ![]() ![]() The movie was well written, acted (it was great having older, more cerebral actors on the show) and produced, and the show started out that way until I think they ran out of ideas. The movie had all the pieces of a fun romp: sci-fi with the hight tech scanners and communications, intrigue with the search for the NAZI theft of the French "Entourage" diamond collection, and locations spanning from Innsbrook Austria, the Gulf coast, and New York City, though I think all of the filming was done in southern CA with the Angeles National Forest doubling as the Austrian mountains and forests. Probe, later to become the TV series "SEARCH" (72-73 on NBC) was an attempt to cash in on the publics fascination with high tech from the space program. I enjoyed this show very much it was extremely well-done and it's too bad they didn't continue on in this way. Elke Sommer, Lilia Skalia and Alfred Ryder are also involved in some way with the jewels, and it's up to Hugh to figure out who's telling the truth since there is obviously more to this story than he was told. The story involves a set of 6 missing jewels, which John Gielgud wants the Probe team to recover. This, and Burgess' performance, were the highlights of the show, and were quite entertaining. She frequently made catty and snide but very funny remarks about Hugh's hormonal reactions to the beautiful women he encountered, and since he could hear what she said via his earpiece, he frequently shot a quip back at her. Several technicians helped Burgess in this endeavor, one of them the gorgeous Angel Tompkins. ![]() Burgess Meredith played the head of the "secret agency", who presided over the monitoring of Hugh's vital signs from the control room via high-tech spy equipment on Hugh's person. Hugh O'Brian was a natural for the suave, polished lead he was never at a loss for words. If the series had stuck to the quality of this pilot, it might have been a hit, but NBC wouldn't let Leslie Stevens make the series on his own they interfered and killed the show. "Probe" was the pilot for the series "Search", which lasted barely a year. ![]() ![]() ![]() If enemy team has a lot of heal pick this. Especially if their mid laner is some low damage champion like Twisted Fate and their main damage is AD. This items value increases by a lot when facing heavy AD enemy comps. (Each camp/scuttle crab gives 4 cs, 24 cs -> 6 camps, 28 cs -> 6 camps + scuttle crab and so on) ![]() So after checking their CS you should be able to infer how many camps they have done already and act accordingly. You usually take the option which is most likely to work where invading is the easiest to pull off. Note that if your lanes have 0 prio, you sadly just have to invade his other buff and try to secure it and basically split the jungle.Īfter your initial clear you should look for either a gank, counter gank or invade into the enemy jungle. Here you either kill the enemy or take his camps for free because he will be only level 2 at this point leaving him very vulnerable. ![]() In This scenario you want to force a fight with the enemy jungler either in your own jungle if he stays or their own jungle which will have almost all camps up. But you should be level 3 shortly after they clear your camp. Nocturne is a very strong duel champion due to his Unspeakable Horror, so you should win most early 1v1 as long as you are even.Īlot of jungler will try to cheese you at level 2 by taking your buff after their own leaving them with 8 CS. Here you just straight up fight him and call for your lanes unless they have 0 prio at all. If you think the enemy jungle will invade you, you might want to place a ward on your other buff or jungle entrances so you can spot them. This takes practice though so head to the practice tool :) You should be able to full clear in 3:15 so you are lvl 4 at scuttle. If possible you always want to full clear into scuttle. This comes down to your game knowledge and the more you practice the more you will get this right. So you have to think about which lane is most profitable for him to path towards to. ![]() You need to start on the opposite side of the enemy jungler. If both top and bot are losing match ups, it basically comes down to you making correct guesses. If you lose scuttle it is not that terrible anymore. Note that due to preseason changes, the first scuttle spawns lose a lot of value. The worst feeling is pathing to the wrong lane and having to hand over scuttle since ur lanes have no priority. Then you start bot and path top lane in order to secure the scuttle crab. Say your bot lane has a losing match up and top is winning. You always want to start opposite of your winning lane matchups. The main question that arises is: Where do you start your route (top/bot)? I do not think anything changes build-wise or playstyle-wise.īefore the game starts always make sure you have a gameplan. Not really game breaking changes, but neat buff in Nocturne's overall strength. I updated the items section a little bit, according to my observations and testing so far. I still need further testing, but Nocturne should still be in a good spot, since he should be fine with trading defensive stats for offensive ones. I haven't been playing much here, but the patch notes were pretty straight forward in a sense that Nocturne is pretty unaffected by the changes.Īlot of changes to bruiser items where basically HP gets converted to AD (partially) which makes them squishier. Like last patch I have been taking a break from league because I get too mad playing it :) but Nocturne should still be in a very solid spot if you only look at the patch notes. In this case Blade of the Ruined King would be better as a 2nd item than Black Cleaver I have seen more people run Blade of the Ruined King after Stridebreaker when you have to 1v1 more than you have to team fight (for example if you have to be the side lane split pusher). I have also been playing again and Nocturne still looks to be in a real good spot. But that is okay, Nocturne has been a strong pick for a long time now and I am sure he will really strong again at some point. I personally stopped playing this champ for now. You can still play him, but you might want to consider getting Blade of the Ruined King since this patch is all about long fights and dps. Try Diana with Sunfire Aegis and Demonic Embrace as core.Īfter durability patch Nocturne became a lot weaker. You are better off abusing champs that can build Sunfire Aegis. ![]() ![]() ![]() So here in this article, I am sharing the best and 5 effective solutions that will also fix other related problems like 2.
