successfully demonstrated the capture of an uncontrolled object in space during a mission aboard the ISS
During the mission, which launched in November
the company’s Responsive Engaging Arms for Captive Care and Handling
would get multiple attempts over four sessions to grasp objects in microgravity aboard the ISS—but the startup achieved that goal in just the first session
“We had significantly more success in that [first] session than we had actually planned for
and so we started having to get a little off book and started moving into the objectives we had planned for future sessions,” KMI’s cofounder Austin Morris told Payload
Passing the test: The REACCH system on board the ISS consists of four tentacle-like arms
which unfurl to grasp onto inactive and uncontrolled objects
The system also comes with a centralized push rod that provides a counter force to lock the object in place
For the demonstrations
a free-flying robot built to handle autonomous tasks and assist with research aboard the ISS
REACCH is by far the largest and most power-draining system Astrobee has ever worked with
Graduating to orbit: The next test will be grabbing real pieces of debris on-orbit outside the ISS
This will be a mission for KMI’s flagship spacecraft
Laelaps will have a REACCH system that’s about 25% larger than the demo version used on the ISS
It will navigate the orbital freeways using an electric propulsion system provided by Orbion Space Technology
Towing spacecraft of various sizes makes Laelaps’ lifespan hard to predict
but KMI expects each spacecraft will perform up to four grapple and relocation maneuvers in a single mission
It will also be able handle hardware crafted from a wide variety of materials
What’s next: While the ISS trial runs have demonstrated the tech’s promise
the company has fielded concerns about its commercial viability since its founding
Don Kessler—namesake of the Kessler Syndrome—warned KMI early on that though the physics are possible
conversations with potential customers reveal that the tech offers an attractive solution to extend the lifespans of satellites that would otherwise deorbit prematurely to avoid running out of fuel on orbit
Now you can run your satellite until it breaks,” cofounder Adam Kall said
“This is no longer [a question of] who’s going to pay for it
Future missions could involve Laelaps pushing multiple customer satellites to deorbit trajectories
grabbing an errant piece of debris to bring home on its final descent.
Axiom chief revenue officer Tejpaul Bhatia will be the space station company’s new CEO
Frontier Space’s first mission is designed to test key components of its lab-in-a-box bioreactor
which will give future space travelers the ability to grow things like food and medicine in space
The Sunbird Migratory Transfer Vehicle is a nuclear-fusion powered rocket capable of reaching 329,000 mph
They focus on tech ranging from high-res imaging
and carrying and dispensing small sats in orbit (not unlike how an aircraft carrier operates at sea)

The legendary Kim Carlsson triumphantly stands as one of the greatest contemporary musicians
By means of his uncompromising and ingenious creations
the two immediately recorded a thoroughly mesmerizing promo
the group made history with their masterpiece of a debut
Reflecting Carlsson’s excellence as a visual artist
the unsurpassed cover features one of a series of iconic and poetic photos that he took of his friend Eleanor
drenched in blood and lying amongst white flowers
Lifelover unveiled their equally brilliant sophomore album
another one of the most gripping and daring milestones imaginable
The additional canonical gems followed: Konkurs (2008)
it is nothing short of a miracle how Lifelover was able to establish their revolutionary identity so quickly and continued to experiment with each title
While Lifelover rests at the top of the black metal hierarchy
the band has also transcended the movement
incorporating elements of diverse genres and crafting a thoroughly individualistic style of their own — mimicked by countless acts across the world but
Lifelover would come to an end with the tragic death of B on September 9
The band took the stage on the 11th and played a pair of other concerts that year in honor of B’s memory
Lifelover again celebrated their illustrious career live
Lifelover doesn’t need to be active in order for their legacy to persistently snowball
the sublime Kall has been referred to as the hallucinatory phoenix that rose afterward
the outfit bears the same spirit of creative evolution and beautifully engineered rebellion
Kall dropped their self-titled album in 2014 and their second full-length effort
genre-reinventing compositions are like mantras
We eagerly await Kall’s third full-length as well as the re-recording of Kall
Kall will present Lifelover in concert at different events next year with a special 45-minute set
This thrilling announcement came as greatly unexpected
that Carlsson’s formidable following also owes to his achievements with the pioneering Hypothermia
which could be described as his main band in a sense
B and Carlsson actually connected because the former had been an admirer of Hypothermia
which boasts a cover painted by Carlsson in exactly what its title suggests
whose emergence dates back roughly 20 years
and we also have high hopes for the future of Unjoy
On November 11 and December 9 of last year
Carlsson stunned us with two previously unheard sonic wonders from Consider Suicide
a moniker that Carlsson conceived back in 2006
Recorded in Belgium in 2019 and 2024 respectively with the esteemed Déhà
Gudalik II and Avstånd prove impossibly powerful spiritual journeys — gorgeous
despite or rather because of their wordless majesty
These two opuses represent Carlsson’s return to the spotlight after taking some time away — time during which a string of terribly exciting developments has been brewing under the surface
more than we’ve already mentioned is currently in the works
I am beyond ecstatic that Carlsson has come back from the shadows with such glorious vengeance to put others to shame by virtue of his superior example
On March 8, Unjoy dropped Ritualmord’s This Is Not Lifelover — a breathtaking triumph
The cover serves as a recreation of Pulver
Carlsson now takes Eleanor’s place as the focal point
and Déhà have constructed a gorgeous cinematic nightmare that confirms their enduring superiority and will to continue exploring new territories
This Is Not Lifelover equates to a highly complex offering that slashes listeners to the core
transporting them to the depths of pain and emptiness while also elevating and ennobling the spirit through the very suffering contained
We eagerly await Carlsson’s future releases with his project A Symphony to the Void
we likewise encourage listeners to check out or revisit what Carlsson has accomplished with Horns Emerging
his super-duo with Czechia’s revered Trist
furthermore spawned the three-song Bloody Melancholy (2006)
which I view as among the best and most underrated recordings
a brutal trip directly into the heart of the abyss
not enough can be said of Carlsson’s merits
I become aware that almost all else fails in comparison
It simply does not deliver the same level of unmixed truth
Carlsson excels at forging works that are extreme in the literal sense as well as that which might initially seem the opposite yet ultimately amounts to the epitome of extreme in terms of what it awakens within you
We were humbled and honored to have the opportunity to catch up with Carlsson toward the end of 2024
His music is potentially life-changing and one of the few things to love about this wretched existence.
I wouldn’t call it a reunion because we’re the same members as we were when the band disbanded
this is not Lifelover; this is Kall presenting or performing Lifelover
The main point that we’re trying to make with this is that over the years
but most of them don’t really follow up anyway because they just want the name Lifelover on their poster
They don’t really care about the story of the legacy of the band itself
which is important to us because if we do a lot of watered-down
just surface-level events that don’t really have any devotion behind them
I feel like it would be insincere towards both ourselves and our fans
That is why we’re doing this kind of “presenting” instead because we will never tour with Lifelover
We want to really underline to both our fans and organizers that this is something else — it’s the same but different
That’s especially the case with next year being the 20th anniversary since the first time that me and Jonas met and formed the band — that’s what we’re celebrating
It’s about the beginning to the end of Lifelover
It’s somehow trying to tell this in an honest and loving kind of way
we haven’t really planned any special guests for these concerts
We already had a pretty good lineup in the past
the second guitarist was Fredric Gråby from Bloodline and formerly Shining because
he was a good friend to Jonas and the rest of us too
it made a lot of sense that he would play Jonas’ guitar parts
It also feels nice that for the 20th anniversary
but somehow a lot of different timelines always intersect
It’s no secret that I’m the main person behind the majority of the artwork for the albums because Jonas was the kind of person that would shut himself in a lot
he would be more secluded and just sit with his headphones and keep recording music
And that’s why we were so productive — he was always composing and writing music
He got better at it and made his songs by just continuously recording
I have a different approach to composing music
and that is by being outside in nature or even in cities
I perceive them as melodies or textures that can become chords
I make mental notes of them and arrangements
and I don’t touch a single instrument before I have the song ready in my head
I always make sure to have at least one but preferably several cameras with me because you never know when one might stop working
And you never know when you will find something interesting
I’ve always had cameras with me to take pictures
and pen and paper to write something down with
I think that should go for anyone interested in creating something meaningful and worthwhile — whenever you are going out
even though it’s nice to have as light a bag as possible or none
it’s better to have something without needing it than needing it without having it
You can’t count on your fucking phone to work if you’re out in nature
If you get an idea that you might not remember
that’s how I usually come up with titles for songs
but I’ve gotten sidetracked by this movie that I’m also working on because
there will be a CD of the soundtrack to it and a DVD
It will almost be like a box set edition of an album
out more on the author kind of market so that publishers can get statistics on my engagement and sales and things like that
That will make it easier for me to maybe get a proper publishing deal for my next book
And I think I will at least break even with what I’m doing
that money will be used to release that artbook
It was a really good performance because we’ve had the same lineup now for almost two years — that’s when we changed from our previous drummer
who is also a member of Craft and some other bands
He’s a very good musician and a really nice person to work with and just be with
which is important when you’re rehearsing and touring
we can’t have a saxophone player with us because that’s a bit difficult to have onstage properly
The person we had for the last concert is one of the sound engineers that we have had with us at previous concerts too because he’s just the kind of sound engineer and musician who can play almost anything
Besides helping us to get our sound right in the sound booth
he can play sax-like stuff but on synthesizers and just synthesizer stuff
Synthesizers work pretty well with metal too if you do it right
he’s the same drummer that I used for Horns Emerging over a decade ago
he’s friends with a lot of my old friends in Gothenburg
when I told one of my friends that I was looking for a new drummer
I don’t know if it will be at the same time as the other things
but we’ll make sure that something happens this year
I want it to be a shared experience in that it’s something that we do to elevate whatever black metal is right now
Because it’s been some years since Hypothermia did any performances
me and my new lineup are also making sure that any new performances we’re going to do are going to put old performances to shame
We want to really prove to people that this is an experience worth attending and being a part of — that it’s going to be a memorable event
that it’s not required to have a lot of blood or fireworks just to be a concert
that’s not what a performance is necessarily about
all of that looks cool in pictures and videos
Yeah… But if I try to remember the anniversaries of everything that I’ve ever done
it will take too much of my energy and focus from what I’m doing in the future
I will focus on celebrations connected to the band as a whole
I think it’s better for people who like these releases to celebrate them in any way that they want or can
Some of them are unusable because of the weather
I’ve learned how to do these things properly
Part of what I’ve learned is to have extra cameras and microphones that I didn’t have then
I’d rather have the video available to all on the internet
we’re going to make a special feature with some conversations with myself and other people about each album because I want the story and the legacy of Lifelover to be available to everyone past
and I’ve been struggling to get the right kind of vibe in this new studio that I have
I have proper microphones and proper cameras
What I can say is that several of the members — the guitarist
But because the other two members are living in other cities
it is easier for them to just go to the concert
it’s not official that they rehearse with us
I’m still in the mood or place of exploring because I haven’t had time to record the albums that I’m planning
it’s for the purpose of sound design — that I need a certain type of atmosphere
I buy maybe some synthesizer or effect pedals and things like that
for the first Ritualmord album that’s going to be released in January
my main focus with that production was that we wanted to create a sound that was as broken as possible because that reflects a lot of the themes and lyrics and the subjects of the album in a nice way
I’m going to make videos about this too on my YouTube channel
There are many nice brands that make effect pedals that make things sound a bit old and broken but still keep the sound quality high
so there’s the option of how much you degrade or break it
The two manufacturers that I’ve been using most equipment from for this specific album are Chase Bliss Audio and Benson
which are two very good American companies
I think that you will probably see them on a lot of lists and people’s videos
there is a Norwegian pedal-maker from Bergen
now that I’ve decided to release these albums
I have even more reason to restart my channel because I want the features about these albums to be out by the time that the second album
which happens to be my mother’s 60th birthday
she’s made some art for one of my upcoming releases that I’ve talked about before that was made with the input of fans — they made requests for what instruments and kind of production I should use
I know that I will be able to finish that this winter
I’m going to make some more videos covering those topics
there’s always something happening — I’m also recording the last winter sequences for my movie
and then we’ll start editing that together
I’m making this movie together with my friend Martin Strandberg
He’s done several videos for Shining before
and there are more that are composed but not recorded
But there are several other releases before in the schedule
the only thing I’ve been doing for the past three years is that me
but it hasn’t been used for a long time — it’s owned by companies that let a private organization rent it a few months of the year
we rent the mill to have an art exhibition
I have my mixed-media paintings here and there
and paintings that she has around the place
Cirone,” did an acoustic performance where we played some Consider Suicide and Hypothermia songs in the upper part of the mill
I bring effect pedals and instruments and create a new sound collage
it’s part of the exhibition that I create a soundtrack that’s unique every day
There’s a kind of granular synthesis engine that cuts different parts of the sound and rearranges them
the melody that you have put into the looper is slowly shifting
it’s not the same song as it was in the morning
It’s really nice to have that kind of evolving soundscape combined with the waterfall outside of the window and other nature sounds
I’m going to keep on doing what I’ve been doing for the past decade because I want to properly make it like a thesis
That’s what I think about when I make a bigger concept — it’s powerful and potent enough to stand on its own
it needs to be able to do many other things
but anyone can save money or take a loan and print something
That’s just something I did because people asked me to do it
it had a similar purpose to what Consider Suicide has now in that it had ideas that would have become something else in the future
But Hypothermia has always had the problem
that I want it to be recorded mostly live or entirely live in a special location
That demands that me and several other people have time to meet at a place at least once a year
That’s one of the reasons why Kyla was first created — I could just go to one of my friend’s home studios and record everything there instead of waiting another year until I could create another Hypothermia recording
and things like that that didn’t fit with my very purist view of what Hypothermia needs to be
that’s why Kyla died when it needed to and then resurrected kind of into Consider Suicide
even though… It could be the same thing
I’ve thought about making something with Kyla
but I’d rather make that album as something else
I have a lot of funny ideas that would be like insider jokes
One of my friends in Mexico is a very good cello player
so he’s going to be on the next Hypothermia album together with the violin
He plays bass on one of the unreleased Hypothermia albums
But Déhà is the kind of person that doesn’t like to travel
He prefers to be in his studio and work from there
I used to be a bit counterproductive and stubborn and only do recordings with everyone in the same place or not at all
having Déhà record bass and the violinist record violin at their own studios was the only way to do them justice and make good recordings
I’d rather do that than make a shitty recording just because it’s live
It removes the power from it if it’s half-assed
or doesn’t have the right mood or atmosphere
it started with him contacting me many years ago because he wanted to have permission to make a cover of one of my songs but with a French title and his own lyrics in French
I said: “I trust in your judgment here.” And
the first time I met him was at that concert with Lifelover two days after Jonas had died
It was a really interesting context to meet someone
we’ve been very close and met many times and collaborated a lot
The crazy thing is that from when we made Gudalik II
It would be unfair to call what we do when we record seamless because we are perfectionists
But it’s still as close as you can come for that term to be valid because we are very effective when we work together
It’s crazy if you try to compare that to what bands do nowadays
Labels fund bands to go into the studio for weeks or longer — that’s one of the reasons why the black metal
so they make something really mediocre because everything just gets flatlined
and that’s something that I think you and other people can attest to
Both me and Déhà have over 20 years each in this field of recording a very special kind of music
Our intuition is very high and can’t really be compared to much else
I feel privileged and proud to work together with him because every time we sit in a room for a couple of days
an amazing album is going to come out of it
It was just real atmosphere from how we were feeling after we had mailed with each other for about a year before then very frequently and had very good contact
and that’s something that I’m going to make a bigger feature on for the anniversary editions — to really tell the story in detail
and I still have the receipts from that week in 2005
That’s one of the interesting things with music
A lot of the lyrics are from those days when we were out many nights and talking to a lot of homeless people and junkies
It was easy to find really weird underground documentaries about different drugs and things like that
that was a small obsession back then — to just find any darkness that society had to offer
and we would immerse ourselves in it and live it ourselves
most people that I’ve met have just been very heartfelt and honest
It’s really weird that it was never the intent with anything I’ve ever done
but most people that contact me or interact with me thank me because something I’ve done has helped them to overcome something difficult in their life
That’s usually what happens — that people just come and thank me
that’s one of the other main reasons why when I started releasing things with Consider Suicide
it’s very intentional — the way that I designed the covers and also the way that I present each album
It’s supposed to also be an option to have in the background — it’s good background music
even though you can listen to it with intent
When you come to that part of your day or your life where your tolerance for bullshit is very low because you’re distracted
you can’t sit and scroll through your playlist
it’s good to be able to trust those artists to provide you with something that works
You can choose any release from my projects
I think I have a similar thing — I’d rather listen to nothing than the majority of what’s presented as black metal these days
and more people should at least think about it because that means that they are taking accountability for their actions
They should be prepared to die for what they believe in
Most people are not because they don’t believe in anything
but if you have to choose between this and this
what is your choice?!,” they’re going to take the easier option usually because that’s what creates stability
and people are not used to the absence of stability
Too much of the current social media platform is still rewarding short-form content
and that’s not where any metal or black metal shines
I think it takes one or two songs until your ears have grown accustomed to the kind of production and atmosphere that they create
Anyone can make a professional recording nowadays
but to make something personal and atmospheric is a completely different thing
so their perception of a difficult time or having a bad day is like the bar that you can reach during that stage of your life
To have a bad day is pretty low compared to what it will be in the future
They don’t even know what it means to have a bad day
That’s very clear to me when I see how a lot of their albums look
their lyrics… I just can’t take any of it seriously
it doesn’t feel right to call it a joke because I like jokes unlike what they’re doing…
The fortunate thing about it is that time always weeds out the weak
that’s not a comfort because we have to listen to these bands today or like five or ten years longer until they give up
or Hypothermia are still active after so many years
but I also like their new stuff because it’s just as inspiring
There are two kinds of inspiring for me when I hear music: It’s either that I get so fucking angry because it’s so mediocre and soulless that I will just feel like proving people wrong about what music is supposed to be like
and I will start creating something better
But the second inspiration is from what bands like Manes created
and you feel like this is someone who’s done the most with their capabilities
That’s inspiring because that shows that everyone should try to be a better artist
but to just push the boundaries and do something sincere and interesting

a MI-based startup building technology to clean up orbital debris
flew its first piece of hardware to space yesterday
The Responsive Engaging Arms for Captive Care and Handling
payload will spend the next few months inside the ISS demonstrating its ability to capture and hold a range of objects in microgravity
with the first demonstration planned for this month
Hold fast: The REACCH system is equipped with four tentacle-like arms
each about 1.5 ft long and made of seven segments that roll out to capture a variety of objects
The system is also equipped with a push rod that provides a counter-force so that the objects sit firmly in REACCH’s grasp
The system will prove out technology that could eventually grab objects on orbit
allowing KMI to move debris out of congested orbital lanes or relocate satellites that don’t have enough juice to move themselves.
KMI also launched something for REACCH to capture—a small cube with interchangeable face plates to help KMI study how REACCH will hold on to a full gamut of materials on orbit
was really built as a system that is as universal as possible,” KMI cofounder and director of engineering Austin Morris told Payload
“We really want to be able to service a wide range of objects
and not have to have to know too much about [them] beforehand.”
What’s next: The ISS demonstration is just the first step in KMI’s journey to rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) on orbit
The REACCH system aboard the ISS is the precursor to a larger system—with eight arms
each 10 segments long—that KMI will attach to its Laelaps spacecraft
aptly named after the Greek mythological dog that never failed to catch what it was hunting
KMI expects to have Laelaps operating in orbit as early as 2027.
The company hopes to use this technology to clean up orbital debris but envisions that the capability will be also applicable to commercial endeavors
including the relocation of space assets and life extension missions

(WLUC) - Marquette-based Kall Morris Inc’s REACCH (Responsive Engaging Arms for Captive Care and Handling) prototype has performed its first demonstration aboard the International Space Station
The demo launched to the ISS in early November and has undergone two operations so far
providing an outlook for the development of the fully operational end effector
KMI says these demonstrations will take the company and the space community as a whole to the next level of space maneuvering and sustainability and greatly impact the future of space exploration
REACCH was first developed with with DARPA
NASA JPL and the University of Southern California
articulated robotic device for the capture and release of space objects
KMI says demonstration of REACCH’s microgravity performance aboard the ISS is ongoing but has already showcased the technology’s capabilities with repeated captures of a free-floating target in a full microgravity environment
“This demonstration showcases not only the capabilities of REACCH but the capabilities of the KMI team as well,” KMI co-founder & director of engineering Austin Morris said
“I am immensely proud of the quality of technology demonstration displayed and extremely grateful to the many partners who helped bring this project to fruition.”

Kamala Harris faces Donald Trump tonight in their first presidential debate in Philadelphia
at a time when the candidates' campaigns are neck and neck
With just two months left until election day, the debate offers Harris a high-stakes opportunity to regain momentum in a race that has recently tightened significantly, with the former president beginning to narrow the polling lead Harris has maintained since Joe Biden dropped out
director of debate at the University of Michigan
told Newsweek that both candidates are effective debaters
and that the event will likely be viewed by tens of millions of people
"Donald Trump in 2016, part of the reason he was the Republican nominee was because of his success on the debate stage," Kall said
he prevented President Biden from running for re-election."
prosecutorial—like what you would see in a courtroom
Whereas Trump is a little more free-flowing
and you never exactly know what he's going to do; there's nothing that he won't do."
Harris faces the added pressure of making her first impression as a presidential candidate on the debate stage
Kall acknowledged that Harris has a difficult task ahead
as she has to pass the "commander-in-chief test," demonstrating that she is capable of going toe-to-toe with a former president who has considerable experience on the national stage
"I think what she wants to do the most is to not fall into the trap of Trump and get into a tit-for-tat ad hominem attack
Last week was marked by one of Harris's most challenging periods since launching her presidential bid in July
creating a sense that her campaign is facing its first major inflection point
The discovery of six Israeli hostages killed by Hamas last week, after Harris had publicly warned against Israeli military action in the area, has sparked outrage from Republicans
who have used the incident to paint her foreign policy as ineffective
Polling expert Nate Silver has pointed to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll as evidence of this shift
The poll shows Trump narrowly leading Harris nationally
a development that Silver said "confirms" that momentum has moved toward Trump in recent days
Trump has doubled down on his favored campaign issues—immigration
inflation and crime—which Kall said will likely be central to his strategy on the debate stage
Kall said Harris will need to convince audiences that she has moved to the center from her 2019 campaign
where she was one of the most progressive candidates on issues like fracking
Trump sees these topics as areas where "he has an advantage," and the debate will be a key test of whether he can maintain discipline in sticking to those issues or if he will allow Harris to get under his skin
"Does he have the discipline to let that go or not? That's a big question," Kall said. "Some of the worst Trump moments, saying Hillary Clinton should be in jail
those sorts of things would have the potential to really hurt him," he said

Germany has turned away 43,500 people during border checks over the past 15 months
Border control launched in October 2023 within the scope of combating irregular migration is continuing
Kall said this means that most irregular arrivals into the country have been prevented
that it is not possible to turn back everyone without discrimination at the borders
arguing that this would jeopardize cooperation with neighboring countries
Kall said that asylum applications decreased by 111,000 last year compared to the previous year and irregular migration decreased by 34%
while the number of people deported during this period increased by 22%
He added that considering this data and laws
an "emergency" cannot be declared for comprehensive rejections and there must be a real and serious threat to public order or security in the country for the "emergency" declaration regulated in European Union to be applied
Barry Katz is bringing Katz’s back to Austin
the restaurant and bar owner told the American-Statesman Tuesday
The restaurant will occupy the ground floor space at 618 W
Barry and wife, Lisa Katz, announced last week that they had purchased the property at auction in bankruptcy court
but waited until the sale had officially closed before announcing their plans for Katz’s
The return to Austin is a “full circle life moment” for the 53-year-old Katz
who started working at Katz’s Deli & Bar when he was 8-years old
“It was always part of my identity,” the Austin High graduate said
“I knew from a very young age I wanted to be a restaurateur
It wasn’t forced; it was more power of attraction
It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.”
Barry and Lisa Katz opened the first Houston location of Katz’s in Montrose in 2000 and have since opened three more
with another slated for West Houston in the next year or so
They had been considering expansion to Austin or Dallas once the fifth Houston location opens
and Barry Katz says he couldn’t believe it when the opportunity to bid on the West Sixth Street real estate became available
It’s the luckiest thing in the world that it came up for sale
I have so many people to thank,” Katz said
There is no timeline set for the opening of the Austin location of Katz’s
The building that once housed Katz’s and later the Rio nightclub was part of more than a dozen bankruptcies declared by Paul-related companies
which will be designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture
will be unique in that it will both offer a nostalgic nod to the past while embracing some of the similar design elements of the Houston locations
The menu for the 24-hour restaurant will be similar to those in Houston
with some classic items like the nosh basket
pastrami sandwiches and cheese-stuffed potatoes sitting alongside newer items
“We’re continuously evolving and are always looking to improve
elite 24-hour restaurant in the country,” Katz said
One thing that won’t be the same as the original is the omnipresence of Marc Katz
whose large personality and avuncular hospitality were as famous in Austin in the 80s and 90s as his trademark yellow Cadillac
“We’re no longer in business together,” Barry Katz said
Multi-brand franchise operator XplorerGroup has acquired Kall Kwik from The Bardon Group
The internally funded deal was completed in May
with details coming to light now following the completion of the new owner’s tour of the majority of Kall Kwik’s 32 centres
Kall Kwik has been in business since 1979 and through its centres it offers print
and other business services to local communities
It has now joined the XplorerGroup’s growing portfolio of brands
including fast-growing global children’s computing education brand ComputerXplorers; new children’s multi-sport education franchise ActiveXplorers; and next-generation lead management system Discover My Franchise.
XplorerGroup CEO Stuart Harley said: “Kall Kwik is a popular
established brand in the world of print and digital and has already proved itself adept at adapting to changing community and business requirements by expanding its offering from printing services to a one-stop design
“We believe Kall Kwik has an exciting future at XplorerGroup
where we can use our knowledge of technology and digital combined with our franchising experience to continue the brand’s success and really bring to fruition its huge potential in the digital space.”
Speaking to Printweek today (18 September)
he added: “We wanted to speak to the network in person and introduce ourselves
I’ve been able to do a bit of homework in between [the completion of the deal and now] and really get underneath what was happening behind the scenes
“I started five years ago as a franchisee of Nigel [Toplis
in November 2019 and ended up taking over ComputerXplorers in 2021
That then grew massively – by 750% comfortably
“Nigel is now on his retirement journey and I could just see this huge opportunity with Kall Kwik – it’s an amazing brand
And after meeting all of the people on the way round
it’s clear that they care so much and they are so creative with the solutions they make.”
Kall Kwik’s name and branding will be retained
“it’s a high street name that just about everyone has heard of”
who has been with Kall Kwik for around 30 years
will stay on as non-executive chairman for the next five years
supporting XplorerGroup with his “wealth of print industry knowledge”
Toplis commented: “Kall Kwik is an iconic brand with 45 years of history
Toplis added: “It was never my intention to sell the business
Kall Kwik is part and parcel of my blood - I learnt my franchising from Kall Kwik and I have a very close relationship with a lot of the franchisees going back 30 years
But there's no doubt that I'm taking more and more time out of the UK and spending it in South Africa
and I've known Stuart for some time; he's done a very good job and I think he's very trustworthy
“It seemed like the right thing to do in that it was time to hand the baton over
I do think that with these sorts of businesses particularly
it's about someone carrying the baton for a period of time and then passing it to somebody else who has new energy
as I said to all of the centre owners we recently visited
I'm just going to be a non-executive chairman as opposed to a managing director
I will still be contacting my centre owners on a regular basis
and when I come to the UK every few months I will certainly be visiting my centre owners
just not on the day-to-day stuff that Stuart will be
The two words I would use for this are relationships and continuity.”
XplorerGroup plans to focus on the existing Kall Kwik centres and support their owners and will then look to open new locations down the line
“Early next year I think the plan will be to relaunch the proposition in a slightly evolved format,” said Harley
who added the company was doing its homework on where potential new locations could be
“There are so many towns and cities across the country that this brand can work in; it’s amazing for freelancers and people that work from home who need access to the kind of services that Kall Kwik provides.”
The XplorerGroup now boasts a total of 102 franchisees across its various brands. The group employs eight people as part of its head office team
Harley said around 130 people work across the 32 Kall Kwik centres
Kall Kwik's network turnover is around £11.5m to £12m

As one of 2024’s newest electronic artists
KALL IT KHAOS has spent years cultivating a creative vision strong enough to take on a life of its own
a feat very few artists are able to achieve in a career
Armed to the teeth with a combination of crunchy basses
The artist masterfully blurs the lines between dreams and reality
His latest release ‘ASCEND’ intricately illustrates who KALL IT KHAOS is as an artist
he is pushing the boundaries of just how immersive — and heavy — music can really be
Committed to breaking necks and sound systems alike
the message is abundantly clear: KALL IT KHAOS is ready to make his mark
we spoke to the artist to get a deeper understanding of what makes him so unique
Could you provide us with some insight on the main inspirations/influences that led to your chosen career pathway in music
I’ve always wanted to do something with music
I was a big gamer and listened to lots of hip hop at the time
When Logic released his “The Incredible True Story” album
sound effects — it was a story from beginning to end
I knew I wanted to do something similar in my own style one day.”
Tell us about the moment you knew you wanted to make electronic music
particularly in how you wanted to bring this concept of narrative driven music to the current bass scene
There weren’t many artists with brands that were as consistent or comprehensive as I wanted for my own music project
so I knew I could plant my flag in the sand by crafting an in depth storyline
refining the concepts and characters piece by piece
Did you focus on building your brand and story first
or did you exclusively spend time developing your signature sound
“I focused on honing music production first
but I always had the general storyline in the back of my mind guiding the process
I took inspiration from artists like Excision
I absolutely loved how much energy they bring to a crowd
and I knew I wanted to emulate that in my own tunes
I focused a lot on experimentation and incorporating narratives into my tracks song by song using foley
and began piecing everything together over time.”
and visuals has been unique and consistent right from the start
How did you balance all these elements and keep everything focused around the story
or by whatever they feel is ready to release at a certain point in time
building content and visuals to accompany them based on the part of the narrative they are meant to describe
They are also released in chronological order
so that each song adds onto the one before it
I think this benefits the final product in the end
and I get way more authentic outreach and interaction from fans
With versatility being a key aspect in the electronic dance industry
what are your thoughts on incorporating various genres in your style of play
“Everything is based around the story to me
heavier bass music because it works best to depict conflict and warfare in the plot
But there are also moments where I deviate from that with more emotionally driven songs
using cues from future bass and trap – it all depends on what fits the mood best
Don’t get me wrong though; writing in different genres is something I love to do
and I’m always looking for opportunities to push myself as an artist.”
“So everything is set in the early 1950s
when KALL IT KHAOS Productions (a massive global monopoly) constructs what is considered the greatest architectural feat in history
inspiring a worldwide quest to design and engineer the perfect city for mankind
It’s a society where science and art don’t compete
Capable of housing all of earth’s 2.8 billion people
the entire city is run by an army of Analogs
Once you arrive in Lucidity town square (Intro to ‘ENDEAVOR’)
you get to witness firsthand the events that follow a grand reveal of new technology to society
It has everything you need to get sucked in: a classic fight of good vs evil
Much of the art is influenced by the “FALLOUT” video game franchise.“
Following a futuristic approach when producing music
what is the overall message you‘d like to convey
“I set out to do two things: inspire people to do something that brings themselves joy
and provide a fun and exciting escape from everyday life
I hope to give fans something unique to get lost in
It’s the little things that bring stories to life
Without the nuances that make a well told story
I want my audience to see Lucidity the way I see it — as clear as day.”
we would like to know what the future holds
always in terms of new music and live performances
“I will be releasing pretty consistently for the rest of the year, with ‘AUTOMATRON’ came out on 19th of April
I have plenty of exciting things in the works that I can’t wait to share in the near future!“

a little-known TV station in Highland Park is hosting the only U.S
Senate Democratic primary debate between three-term U.S
Elissa Slotkin of Holly and the actor and author Hill Harper of Detroit
WHPR-TV, a low-power station that typically airs live talk shows and documentaries, said in an announcement that the 45-minute debate at 10 a.m
July 26 will "highlight the candidates' positions on vital local and national issues
particularly those impacting the Black community."
the debate is advertised as "audio only," meaning no video images from the debate will be broadcast
the live audio will be heard on 88.1 FM and streamed on WHPR-TV
on Roku and the station's social media platforms
The station's advisory said the decision to host an audio-only debate was to ensure the conversation "takes precedence over any distractions."
“The Black vote is crucial in this election
and this debate serves as an important platform for our community to hear directly from the candidates about their plans and policies,” WHPR owner RJ Watkins said in a statement
WHPR continues its legacy of lifting up Black issues
reinforcing the importance of our community's role in the democratic process.”
The debate moderators will be Bishop Edgar L
said it's "definitely out of the ordinary" and not the norm for political debates to be audio-only formats
even if it's just a Senate primary contest for one of the two major political parties
television is the preferred and most common medium
it's especially ironic that one of the candidates
is going to be in a debate that's not appearing on television," Kall said
Kall said a televised format would reach more viewers since many people are more comfortable with and likely to seek out that format
as would a debate on network with statewide reach
The face-off taking place on a weekday outside of drivetime is also going to mean fewer voters will hear the debate
as opposed to an evening or weekend timetable
"It's unfortunate that the entire state won't have access to something that's so important," Kall said
"The last available polling shows it's a 40- 50-point race
and there just may not be a lot of media interest in general because of the lopsided nature of the race and it's a primary."
An upside to the audio-only format could be a more substantive focus on the issues
rather than how the candidates look next to each other and other image-type observations that can sometimes be superficial
the many commentators who noted how pale and frail President Joe Biden looked on stage next to the tanned former President Donald Trump during their much-picked-over June 27 debate
Harper's campaign has complained about the timing of the debate and about the audio-only format
"This event is designed to limit the number of voters it will reach," Harper spokesman Greg Bowens said
adding there was no opportunity to negotiate over the terms

A spokesman for Slotkin noted that she has always participated in debates in each of her campaigns for U.S

Senate candidate Hill Harper made headlines for bringing his comedian friend Dave Chappelle to Detroit for a July 11 fundraiser
but journalists were barred from attending the show
The Detroit News made repeated requests for press access to the event at Saint Andrew's Hall in downtown Detroit but was refused
with Harper's spokesman blaming the situation on Chappelle's team and restrictions imposed by entertainment conglomerate LiveNation
The tickets for the fundraiser on the ActBlue site
ranged from $250 for balcony seating to $3,300 for those who wanted to attend a "VIP reception" with Harper following the show
General admission tickets for the Chappelle comedy show were $500
while the Harper campaign was selling "Gold Circle" tickets for $1,000
The event site for the show stated plainly that no cellphones
recording devices or cameras would be allowed
and that those who brought a phone would be required to place it in a locked pouch or risk being ejected from the venue on East Congress Street
When asked about a reporter potentially buying a ticket and bringing only a notebook
Harper spokesman Greg Bowens said one who tried that at a past Chappelle show was discovered and kicked out
Chappelle has been criticized for anti-transgender content in his material. An Associated Press reporter who got into his show in Abu Dahbi in May reported his remarks about a “genocide” striking the Gaza Strip amid the Israel-Hamas war
House Dems announce new finance chairsMichigan House Democrats announced new finance co-chairs Thursday after The Detroit News first reported July 3 that their finance and campaign chairs abruptly resigned from their positions four months before the November election
Felicia Brabec of Pittsfield Township and Penelope Tsernoglou of East Lansing will serve as finance co-chairs while House Speaker Joe Tate of Detroit will lead the campaign committee
“Their commitment to our shared values and mission ahead
for both our current election cycle and beyond
is evident in their accomplishments as both legislators and public servants,” Tate said of Tsernoglou and Brabec
who is not running for re-election next year
Rep. Regina Weiss, D-Oak Park, who had been the campaign chairwoman, and Rep. Samantha Steckloff, D-Farmington Hills, who had been the finance chairwoman, resigned after a turbulent budget process that still has school administrators smarting
The campaign chair and finance chair take on key roles in advising and fundraising for Democratic House incumbents and candidates

Kall Morris’s debris-grabbing technology includes software for identifying different types of space debris and an innovative
BY Adam Bluestein
Kall Morris focuses on keeping space “clear for all” by removing the ever-increasing amounts of orbiting debris that can collide with and damage or destroy other satellites
The company is working with the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory
and geCKo Materials to demonstrate that its debris-grabbing technology—which includes software for identifying different types of space debris and an innovative
gecko-inspired adhesive grappling tool called Reactive Electro-Adhesion Capture ClotH (REACCH)—aboard the ISS
the Northern Michigan-based company launched a project with the U.S
Air Force to test its machine-learning-powered TumblEye system for handling debris that is “tumbling uncontrollably through space”—a technically difficult and risky problem for space junk collection

THE Office of Procurement Regulation (OPR) has ordered the National Insurance Property Development Company Ltd (Nipdec) to terminate the multi-million dollar contract for the Ministry of Works and Transport’s Valsayn Avenue Bridge.
The order was made on October 18, by an OPR tribunal, comprising Sparkle Kirk Selman as chairman and David Charlerie and Herdis Lee Chee.
Nipdec was ordered to terminate the contract “with immediate effect for contravening” the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Property Act, “by using evaluation criteria not disclosed to proponents in the evaluation of the technical proposals submitted” for the project.
The challenge before the OPR was initiated by contractor Kall Co. The tribunal had previously suspended the award of the contract to Maraj Hill General Contractors Company Ltd until Kall Co’s challenge of the procurement process was determined.
In its challenge, on September 19, Kall Co asked the OPR to review the award of a contract for the Valsayn Avenue Bridge reconstruction and associated works undertaken by the ministry’s Project Management Unit under the Programme for Upgrading Roads Efficiency (PURE).
Nipdec awarded the $15.1 million contract to Maraj Hill on September 9.
However, in its challenge, Kall Co Ltd alleged tender rules were not observed and Nipdec did not properly, fairly, competently, and lawfully assess its technical bid.
It also contended the award of the contract “was not done following good procurement practices."
In June, Nipdec invited tenders for the project and nine companies submitted bids but one did not submit valid compliance certificates.
Documents showed that Kall Co’s bid was the second lowest at $13,213,752.75. Other unsuccessful bidders included Junior Sammy Contractors and Lutchmeesingh Transport Contractors Ltd.
Nipdec indicated that Kall Co failed the technical approach, methodology and programme of execution of works. It further stated that the firm provided generic information related to the key components of the works.
“Information regarding shoring, demolition of the existing bridge, construction of the abutment base and other area of the scope such as installation of drainage layer behind abutment and retaining wall, structural backfill behind abutment and retaining wall, and erosion control measures was either vague or not mentioned,” Nipdec said.
While the minimum score for this category was 34 points, Nipdec said Kall Co scored 27.75, while Maraj Hill scored 90.5 points out of 100 in the technical/financial evaluation.
However, Kall Co contends that that Nipdec’s decision to “fail” them was not properly explained and/or particularised and its assessment of the company’s technical approach is subjective, erroneous, unlawful and not in keeping with the obligations expressed and/or implied under the tender obligations.
Kall Co further claimed that Nipdec did not reasonably seek clarification on the “purported vagueness or anything being generic” under Section 33 of the Public Procurement Regulations.

(KMI) announced that it’s notched an agreement with the US Air Force to explore its proposed method to dock with uncontrolled pieces of debris in orbit for removal
Kall Morris plans to test its TumblEye system for active debris removal (ADR) applications for USAF.
Removing a piece of debris from orbit that is A) not designed for retrieval and B) tumbling uncontrollably through space is technically difficult and risky.
“By predicting the behavior and telemetry of in-space objects
we will enable existing docking procedures for targets like the ISS and spacecraft to be used for docking with debris,” Adam Kall
The DoD angle: As Earth’s orbit gets more congested
the DoD has to consider multiple avenues to protect its space assets
and it’s exploring adding ADR technology to its toolbox through a handful of avenues
This award from USAF slots into that larger Pentagon initiative
Amid shifting global power balances and an ongoing war on European soil
it’s more important than ever for Europe to quickly address its fragmented
and overly cautious procurement process—or risk permanently lagging behind those who want to do it harm
As warfare becomes increasingly dependent on space-based infrastructure and the link between space capabilities and terrestrial systems
AV aims to use its technologies to connect military tech in different domains
While the company has only sent three of its Jackal satellites to LEO so far
its goal is to take on higher and higher orbits with Jackal missions to GEO and cislunar space as soon as next year
A prototype anti-sat weapon Russia launched into orbit in 2022 is tumbling out of control
according to commercial SSA companies who spotted it
That’s a sign the spacecraft is no longer functional
in 2019 at the age of 23 because he knew the old way of cleaning up space wouldn’t cut it
“I started KMI with an attitude of ‘We can’t wait for the way things have been done,’ as the company is focused on solving debris—and that problem is increasing exponentially,” said Kall
who is now 27 years old and the director of science at the company
KMI is developing a spacecraft with octopus-like tentacles that will be able to collect and dispose of multiple pieces of debris during a single mission
The startup will demonstrate the technology in microgravity aboard the ISS next year under a contract awarded in June by CASIS
which manages the national lab aboard the space station
The company also won a Space Force contract this year to test its TumblEye system
which can determine how a piece of debris is spinning and allow it to be captured
Diversity matters: Kall noted that even in its earliest days
KMI focused on diversity in hiring and that today
despite space being a male-dominated field.
star bright: KMI was founded in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
a remote area characterized by cold temps and dark skies—something that Kall hopes will fascinate the next generation of space innovators.
“I’ve taken time to volunteer at the local middle schools
and universities to talk about space and use my telescope to inspire the next generation to want to explore,” he said
Funded Internships
A summer internship working with horses might not seem like the natural path for Stephanie Kall ’19
After briefly volunteering at The Root Farm in 2016 for her training as an orientation trip leader
Kall fell in love with the farm and its mission
The Root Farm is an equine-assisted therapy center and agricultural facility which aims to provide educational
and therapeutic experiences to people of all ages and abilities
“I didn’t really know anything about agriculture or equine therapy going in,” Kall said. “The farm is absolutely gorgeous and I was so inspired by their mission of helping people through their programs. I learned a lot from this summer, especially interacting with animals and the people I was helping. It’s made me think a lot about what I want to do after college.”
After a long day of working at the farm, Kall doesn’t spend her night like most college students — she often falls asleep at 8 p.m.
“The most challenging part about this internship is definitely the physical exertion it required. It’s exhausting to spend nine-hour days walking for the equine programs or weeding and watering for the agricultural program.”
With all her responsibilities and long hours on the job, Kall’s hard work is finally paying off. Through her work on the farm, she’s already shifted perspectives on a future career.
“Root Farm has opened my eyes to new career paths,” she said. “I came into college thinking I wanted to do research, I’ve started thinking about a possible career in conservation or wildlife conservation. I could honestly see myself being happy working at a place like Root Farm — it’s supported my interest in a career with animals and it made me realize just how much I enjoy helping people.”
Kall’s internship is supported by The Jeffrey Fund Science Internship.

RoadKill’s Mike Finnegan polished off Hoonigan’s Jon Chase in two straight heats in their best-of-three Kall Out Kings gasser match race between their ’55 Chevys at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com
Finnegan, who handily won Friday’s first round
got the drop on Chase at the green in their second heat
and Chase and his Tri 5 By Fire raced ahead by the time they reached the 60-foot clocks
Just when it looked like Chase was going to even the score
his mount went silent at the 330-foot clocks
Finnegan recovered and roared on to take an 11.212 victory over Chase’s coasting 20.648
“I have a horrible relationship with this car — it’s the most unreliable gasser ever — but for once it lasted long enough to win something
never in my wildest dreams would I have ever think I would be on this dragstrip in front of this crowd."
The victory meant much than internet bragging rights between two of the most followed teams on social media as the loss also cost Chase his fine beard as part of the deal
“I’ve had this beard for 10 years,” lamented Chase
as he sat down to await the shearing by a professional barber brought in for the occasion
my kids have only seen me clean shaven twice
and my daughter has never seen me without a beard.”
friendly rivals off the track; not so much on
Finnegan's Blasphemi took the match race in two straight rounds
Chase's efforts to get the Tri 5 By Fire ready to run in time for the match provided lots of internet drama
Finnegan gets in on the shaving of his rival
AUG 18-19 Lucas Oil Series Divisional Event
Mike Finnegan and Jon Chase have had a difference of opinion and it won’t be settled until they meet mano-a-mano as part of the Kall Out Kings match race held during the upcoming Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by Protect the Harvest at Auto Club Pomona at Raceway
Well-known figures in the hot rodding world
each with a massive social media following
Finnegan and Chase each own a vintage ’55 Chevy gasser and therein lies the problem
That question will be answered once and for all when Finnegan and Chase square off in a best-of-three grudge match during the traditional NHRA season-opener
The stakes are high with the loser having to shave his beard in front of the Pomona crowd
The victor will not only have bragging rights (and intact facial hair)
but will also be the recipient of a special Kall Out Kings trophy constructed by Cold Hard Art
The seeds of this not-so-civil rivalry were sewn last May when Chase used his Instagram (@jchase7452) and YouTube accounts to challenge Finnegan (@finnegan999) to a duel
The challenge was quickly accepted and the back and forth barbs began
“Whoever wins two of those races gets a killer trophy and a pair of clippers to remove the beard of the other competitor,” said Finnegan
“I hope Jon takes his family Christmas card pic right before grabbing a lane next to me because that beard of his is gonna be gone about eight seconds later
His name is Chase because that’s what he’s going to do
Jon Chase will be chasing me down the track.”
“I think it’s funny that Mike is so confident that he’ll have no problem destroying me,” Chase countered
“I wouldn’t be surprised if his car blew up before the lights and I cruised right by him
While Finnegan and Chase are serious about winning the match
they’re also quick to mention that despite what some of their internet followers might think
they have a mutual respect for each other that transcends their rivalry
at least until they roll into the water box in Pomona
Finnegan is best known as the host of Roadkill
the popular automotive-themed internet show produced by Motor Trend and Hot Rod
He has earned legions of fans with Blasphemi
“I didn’t expect this project to ever come this far,” said Finnegan
Once I went down the track for the first time
I spent every dollar I could spare making it fast
Finnegan’s car is equipped with a supercharged 528-cid Hemi engine mated with a clutchless five-speed manual transmission
Finnegan’s efforts to improve the car’s performance have been rewarded
Putting any street legal car into the eight-second zone is no mean feat
but he was able to do it last September at Atlanta Dragway during the Hot Rod Magazine Drag Week event
An eight-second time slip came with a steep price tag when Finnegan wounded an engine on the next run
He’s still scrambling to have the car ready for the Pomona match
I dropped a valve and destroyed the motor in Atlanta,” said Finnegan
“We rebuilt it and changed camshafts but between SEMA and the PRI show
Hopefully we get one day of testing in Phoenix because I need it
Chase is the Brand Director and artistic leader of the popular Hoonigan brand
and he’s dubbed his classic ‘55 Chevy Tri 5 by Fire
Chase purchased the car in 2013 and it was a near-basket case including a bullet hole in the door
He quickly whipped the car into shape and participated in the 2015 Hot Rod Power Tour
the car has undergone a complete makeover with the addition of a ladder bar suspension
a Chevy LS engine topped by a Magnuson supercharger that he hopes will give him the edge against Finnegan
“This car is a constant struggle but we’re making good progress,” said Chase
who admits that he’s also in a race against the clock to get the car finished
and hopefully do some testing before Pomona
The combination is sort of a melding of old school and new school
It’s a post car with straight axle which is straight out of the 1960’s but the 383 LS and a Magnuson supercharger are current technology
I’m bringing the two schools together even though some of the purists can’t stand it
There’s been so much hate over this car on the internet
I’m fine with it because that’s not real-world thinking
This is a car that should make great power and be able to go anywhere
I’m looking for reliability and that vintage look.”
Finnegan and Chase both admit their love of ’55 Chevies was fueled by 1970s cult classics Two Lane Blacktop and American Graffitti
both of their cars are similarly integrated into modern car culture
Finnegan’s car has such a large fan following that is has been re-created as a radio control scale model by Traxxas while Chase’s shoebox has been scanned by Forza and is included in the Horizon 3 and Forza Motorsports 7 video games
“Jon has admitted he was sick and tired of people who played the video game ‘re-skinning’ his car to look like mine,” said Finnegan
“He was also ready to throw his phone across the room every time a fan saw his car online and accused him of copying me
as if we are the only two people to turn a ’55 Chevy into a Gasser
I couldn’t believe he called me out and I also respect the brashness of it; I would have done the same thing.”
“I’ve driven Blasphemi across America,” Finnegan said
“I take my kids out for ice cream in this car
I’m also serious as a heart attack about making it truly fast
I’ve broken more parts than I care to remember over the last two years in the quest for lower ETs while competing at events like Hot Rod Drag Week
but I have never been called out to grudge race in this car
It all goes down during qualifying at the Winternationals
To be able to go down the track in Pomona with a car that I built with my friends is epic
which has been in operation since 1953 and has hosted the Winternationals since 1961
it’s going to be mind-blowing; a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Chase
whoever wins will have bragging rights and the loser is going to have a rough day
This is a big deal for me but it’s also a big opportunity for us to take our loyal Hoonigan followers and turn them into drag racing fans
our fans are younger and they’re into video games and that means road racing and drifting
That shouldn’t be the case because drag racing is easily the most accessible motorsport out there and once you get people exposed to is
8 will be the day that talk turns to action with the first round of the best-of-three match scheduled for 12:20 p.m
the third round will take place later in the day on Saturday
or following the final round of Pro Stock qualifying

(KMI) has secured $5M in DoD contracts and private investment to further its technology development and commercialization efforts
the debris removal startup announced today
The remaining $750,000 includes a closed pre-seed and seed round
The company has not disclosed its investors
“As the DoD continues to develop vital In-Space Access
and Logistics capabilities to continue ensuring the safe operation of US assets as well as the assets of our allies
KMI is working to exceed their expectations for operational excellence on our contracts now and as we build this network for contracts in the future,” KMI operations director Liza Fust told Payload via email
Hold on tight: KMI is building a full stack of technology to address a growing debris problem in orbit
from its TumblEye debris characterization software program
to the Laelaps spacecraft that will host it all
Part of the vision is making the cost of removing debris from space more transparent. KMI recently partnered with Privateer to add the cost of removing defunct satellites or other debris to its Wayfinder space situational awareness platform
Orbital Prime: The DoD is devoting significant resources to ensure that the space environment remains safe and operable far into the future
and removing debris is a part of that puzzle.
The Air Force launched Orbital Prime to encourage the development of active debris removal (ADR) technology
and companies like KMI that won early-stage contracts through the program are betting on the government’s need to procure ADR missions into the future
Amazon’s long-awaited Starlink competitor finally has a toehold in orbit
“Demand has increased more than production capacity has,” CEO Ian Cinnamon told Payload
“This allows us to vertically integrate faster
and buy more parts ahead of time and stock inventory.”
at a “Reading With Robin” event
Robin Kall has brought some of the biggest names in the literary world to Rhode Island and nearby locales: Elin Hilderbrand
Good old-fashioned networking and relationship-building
her bubbly personality and passion for books don’t hurt
“Everything’s built on relationships,” says the East Greenwich resident
“Maintaining and growing those from a point of passion is at the heart of what I do.”
What started as a local radio show — “Reading With Robin” — in 2002 has grown into a literary empire that includes live and virtual author events
a weekly Instagram Live series and book clubs
with more than 11,400 following along on Instagram
She was Bookstagram even before there was a Bookstagram
She’s perhaps best known for her book events
which she runs with the help of her daughter
She’ll usually host between one to three authors
chatting with them about all manner of things
and the ticket usually includes a book (or three)
she’s done several events at Curiosity & Co
Robin Kall brings all the latest literary news to the Ocean State
“Tell Me About Your Book,” live and virtual author events
she’s hosting Liv Constantine at the Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut
“Summer With Robin,” June 14 at the Warwick Country Club with authors Nicola Harrison
hosting “Tell Me About Your Book.”
She typically works a year to eighteen months in advance
using the connections she’s made with authors and book publicists to find out which new books are in the works
Her dream is to create a registry of readers in the Ocean State
so that everyone interested in books can learn about new releases
authors coming to the state and local book clubs.
“The wheels don’t stop,” she says with a laugh
“It is exhausting in this headspace.”
You’ll usually find memoirs and nonfiction titles on her TBR list
along with young adult and historical fiction
you’ll often find her at little free libraries around the state
stocking them with some of the tomes always in the trunk of her car
Or unpacking her beach chair and settling down with a book at Goddard Park or one of the Narragansett beaches with a hot cup of coffee in hand.
“Most people have a flashlight and water in their trunks,” she says. “I have books and a chair.” robinkall.com

has signed a term sheet for delivering Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) to the Hungarian food ingredient producer KALL Ingredients Kft
The signed term sheet with KALL Ingredients builds on the letter of Intent reported by Kyoto on a no-name basis on 10 January 2023
The term sheet outlines the commercial conditions for the heat purchase agreement that the parties aim to sign by the end of October
“This marks a significant commercial milestone for our Heat-as-a-Service business
Kyoto offers a very attractive thermal storage solution for KALL Ingredients
as well as numerous other companies within the food and ingredients industry
Recognizing the sector's substantial need for reliable
Heatcube meets KALL’s requirements while actively contributing to their ambitious objectives of reducing CO2 emissions,” stated Tim de Haas
KALL Ingredient’s Heatcube will replace the current natural gas supply and is designed with 56 MWh of storage capacity
offering an annual capacity of more than 30 GWh
This will result in a CO2 reduction of up to 8,000 tons annually
Strategic Director of KALL Ingredients Kft
says: “Our aim is to rely entirely on sustainable energy in the future while ensuring lower energy costs
Kyoto’s Heatcube will provide us with a stable and cost-effective supply of sustainable process heat
and we are excited to get started with this project.”
After the signing of this term sheet the partners will establish a Hungarian legal entity (SPV) that will enter into the Heat-as-a-Service agreement with KALL
The SPV will simultaneously purchase the Heatcube from Kyoto Group
“Thermal energy storage solutions are key in the energy transition
and Kyoto’s Heatcube is an exciting solution to decarbonize industrial heat demand,” added Arnaud Susplugas
Heatcube at KALL Ingredients will operate as an asset in the flexibility markets and utilize intermittent renewable energy whenever available while supplying a constant flow of steam for industrial production
“In Hungary the share of renewable energy supply continues to increase significantly
Kyoto’s Heatcube provides a technical solution for steam storage that will allow us to act on the reserve market as well as benefiting from intra-day trading to reduce the energy costs for the industry,” says András Vinkovits
The parties aim to sign the commercial contract by the end of October and to install Heatcube within 2024
