De Troia Card Under-Par Rounds to Close ACC Championship4/17/2025 6:03:00 PM | Women's Golf the Blue Devils finished in 10th place to close out the ACC Championship Although the team did not reach match play a few players recorded impressive performances sophomore Katie Li and junior Andie Smith.  accumulating four of her team’s 10 birdies during the entirety of round one.  “Her game has been very solid for a long time” head coach Dan Brooks said freshman Anna Cañado Espinal and Li totaled a score of 78 De Troia had a 79 and senior Rylie Heflin had a 82 in the first round De Troia turned things up a notch to play a fantastic second round During the front nine she shot even-par but eventually shot 5-under par her last six holes to finish up with a score of 5-under 67 The Paris native had her lowest 18-hole score which included a few notable achievements These spanned from hitting a 39-foot birdie on No 13 to swinging a hybrid from 188 yards on No 15 and landing only inches from the hole to secure an eagle Her round of 67 was tied for the third-lowest individual round and Li also posted this score during her freshman season so that was her first time on the golf course very fast greens and a lot of undulations on the green so the ball is always trying to roll off the green,” Brooks said She did a great job in the tournament in general a senior having played her final ACC Championship posted a score of 78 including an eagle and a birdie native’s eagle was the second of her senior season Li closed out the tournament with a great performance She posted a bogey-free round of 7-under 65 which was a career low for the sophomore she had seven birdies throughout the 18-hole round while also accumulating four pars in a row.  De Troia’s amazing performance was not just limited to the second round she also shot under par with a score of 1-under 71 The freshman even recorded two birdies after her first five holes of the morning “I think Anna didn't have a great tournament but it wasn't because she wasn't handling the situation but I didn't get the feeling that it was because of the importance of the event,” Brooks said.  Smith came up with a top-25 finish overall as she registered a 2-over 74 in the final round the Blue Devils did not play as well as they had hoped including Li scoring in the 60s for the ninth time as a Blue Devil and for the fourth time in her sophomore season she also birdied all four of the par-5-holes and her 12 birdies were tied for eighth place.  Duke will now look ahead to the NCAA Regional Championship May 5-7 and Brooks still has great faith in his team A better choice would be to just be patient and keep believing in what you're doing and I've seen that pay off way more than any kind of blowing everything up and changing course,” Brooks said So we'll just keep doing what we're doing and we’re a team that knows how to prepare.” Share and discuss “Duke women's golf finishes 10th at ACC Championships De Troia earns 11th individually” on social media Live Cast Family will receive friends: Thursday July 18 from 5:00-7:00 PM at West Center Chapel memorials are kindly requested for Candi’s grandchildren’s education _______________________________________________ Candi Jo Troia passed away peacefully with family by her side after her 15 year lung cancer battle Candi earned the title “prize fighter” for her courageous and determined fight against stage IV lung cancer always going above and beyond to help those she loved and even strangers She took pride in caring for and spoiling her family she worked hard as an advocate for lung cancer awareness She was proudly your “realtor for life” selling houses and talking real estate until her very last breath She was also proud of her 6 year dedication to the Ronald McDonald house As a long term server at Brother Sebastian’s Steakhouse she waited tables even near the end of her cancer battle Candi was given less than a year to live from doctors but God gave her 15 years with the help of her amazing doctors at UNMC in Omaha and Mayo Hospital in Phoenix She was able to witness her children get married and 5 more grandchildren join the family after her diagnosis She gained her place in heaven with her savior Jesus Christ Her body is restored and her suffering is over She was a 1974 graduate of Papillion High School She proudly wore her title as Miss La Vista in 1973 Penny (Rich) Vanecek and Stacey (Bruce) Zimmerman;

and a facility for divers including space to store uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) The dedicated power supply onboard the ‘island’ is provided by solar panels enabling the platform to be energy self-sufficient The platform’s standalone sensing capability includes a sonar system and other oceanographic sensors fitted underneath the platform: these gather acoustic The ‘island’ is also fitted with CCTV cameras which can conduct ship classification and security monitoring the ‘island’ can act as a forward base for sensors extending detection range without increasing personnel risk Data collected onboard is processed in two ways: within the shipping container’s data section; or – primarily – using a data ‘hub’ fixed underneath the platform within a special container to enable natural cooling by sea water Processed data is sent ashore via a seabed fibre-optic cable Additional communications capability is provided through SATCOM connectivity and a 5G ‘bubble’ around the platform The communications architecture enables operators ashore in CEOM and the exercise’s numerous commander task unit (CTU) facilities to access all the data from the island a key focus of the ‘island’ testing was to reduce the onboard data infrastructure’s power usage as much as 70% of power can be expended on processor cooling: immersing the ‘hub’ in water for natural cooling is central to the concept’s aim of achieving energy self-sufficiency “One of the goals is for the ‘island’ to be truly self-sustainable … Everything [onboard] is designed to be self-sustaining,” Lieutenant David Morgado told Naval News in a visit onboard the ‘island’ during ‘REPMUS’ The ‘island’ can also act as a forward base for uncrewed systems UUVs and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) have already operated from it with communication difficult due to the nature of the underwater environment and use optical modems for sending and receiving information to and from the ‘island’ or connecting directly to its network The data provided by the UUVs can then be transferred ashore via the cable or SATCOM links we can have a communications relay to navy facilities We can have multiple platform types integrated and we can have a better common operating picture.” Lieutenant Commander Castro Veloso – CEOM’s head of information systems and communications The ‘island’ also has deck space available Lt Morgado explained that vertical take-off/landing (VTOL) uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) could operate from it supported by sensors like radar also fitted in this space This would allow a radar to detect a target with UAVs then deployed to locate and track it Such capacity would enable the navy to train its decision-making A range of operational tasks can be conducted from the ‘island’ with these tasks reflected in ‘REPMUS’ serials The seabed cable can be used for critical undersea infrastructure (CUI) security training The diving facility in the shipping container can support diving operations The ‘island’ itself can be used as a training target for surface and underwater harbour protection drills including for mine counter-measures (MCM) or diving operations can include interaction with the ‘island’ and its facilities even if the uncrewed system is not deployed from the ‘island’ ‘REPMUS’ testing also focused on identifying lessons for building the larger ‘island’ the navy needed to know that the underwater data ‘hub’ worked correctly the serials needed to prove that ‘hub’ power consumption was reduced through underwater cooling testing was designed to demonstrate that the power production and storage capability on the ‘island’ was sufficient and sustainable enough to enable effective operation of all the equipment onboard The prototype is also being used to measure responses to changing sea states in terms of platform balance One option could be to fit an auto-transition system to counter wave motions Naval News brings you news coverage of the latest naval defense shows & events We are also reporting on naval technology from all over the world Photo by: Andy MeadBlue Devils Conclude Play at Darius Rucker Intercollegiate3/5/2025 6:42:00 PM | Women's Golf Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here TRÓIA, Portugal - NATO Allies gathered for the REPMUS 24 exercise in Portugal's Tróia peninsula from Sept 9 to 27 to “test the ability of autonomous systems to operate together and to increase Alliance understanding of new threats in the maritime environment," NATO said on it website REPMUS (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Unmanned Systems) is organized and hosted by the Portuguese Navy NATO and Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto and co-organized by the European Defense Agency It is considered the world’s leading experimentation exercise where different types of unmanned aerial “This year’s iteration of REPMUS is focused on the employment of autonomous vehicles in multi-domain operations naval mine warfare and the protection of Critical Undersea Infrastructure," NATO said on its website Read today's Portuguese stories delivered to your email Sonae Group, through SC Investments, is negotiating with Arrow the sale of real estate and tourist assets in Tróia Since June, SC Investments, which came from the restructuring of Sonae Capital's portfolio, has been in negotiations with the Arrow Global fund for the sale of real estate and tourist assets in Tróia these include the Tróia Marina concession (with space for 180 vessels);

I really can’t wait to see what it looks like in a couple of years’ time Troia is almost at the end of the peninsula with the town of Setubal easily visible across the water at the southern end of the city of Lisbon It has been out on its own in golf terms since opening in 1980 and therefore didn’t attract the footfall its quality – when in its prime – merited and as you make your way back down the peninsula from Troia on the outskirts of the eponymous charming village opened in 2023 – but has a long backstory as a result of the collapse of the Espírito Santo bank and then the Covid-19 pandemic because it went straight in Golf World’s Continental European Top 100 Courses ranking at No.9 tumbling terrain with a feeling of endless space and exhilarating freedom It was routed by Steel before McLay Kidd was drafted in and the Oregon-based Scotsman had to stick with a plan that feels sure to have been done with residential units in mind Those have not appeared and the GM Rodrigo Ulrich does not believe they will there are significant green-to-tee distances and you need to be pretty fit to walk it Otherwise this has the hallmarks of McLay Kidd’s emphasis on fun He challenges you to take on carries to reap reward and dares you to find a line of play that sets you up for attacking approaches Fescue fairways (a rarity in Europe) are flanked by blankets of sandy native areas and handsome pines Your phone camera will only be in your bag for a maximum of a couple of holes at any point in the round with some unforgettable holes that are up there with the best on the continent Don’t expect Dunas to fall when I refresh the Top 100 Courses in Continental Europe list later this year It is poised to get a little sister in a matter of weeks which will fall under consideration for that ranking The front nine at Torre is more or less ready for play right now and it’s only really the start of the back nine that needs some work It is Sergio Garcia’s first design and it is going to be a distinctive complement to Dunas it has views overlooking the sea and Serra da Arrábida natural park and is a par 72 that is well over 7,000 yards from the tips With a Tour pro involved – albeit a lot of the heavy lifting was done by Olazabal Design’s Matthias Nemes – I was expecting a more exacting examination off the tee not least with Garcia’s renowned driving prowess will favour precision and shotmaking over length and power,” Garcia has said of Torre for which Valderrama has been cited as his inspiration But in fact it is pleasingly generally really wide off the team Only in a run of three holes from the 12th does it become narrower and I think golfers are going to really enjoy it There is no fescue here but with the native vegetation populating the piles and piles of sand lining the fairways it has a gorgeous natural aesthetic There are some intriguing decisions to be made as well as some thrilling semi-blind drives and Torre is consistently engaging I wouldn’t quite have it at Dunas level but it will definitely be a contender for the 2025 Continental European Top 100 This was designed by Jorge Santana da Silva in 2012 but after being mothballed through two periods of financial difficulty it is ready for play and just awaiting its clubhouse There is plenty of construction round the edges but it is generally well back from the playing corridors It was designed in a different era of golf course architecture and it shows It was in a sense refreshing to see a new course opening that bucked the trend for ‘wide and playable’ even if I do think high-handicap golfer or even just those with a modest short game will be seriously tested by it with the short par-4 2nd played between trees acting like sentries to a sporty green and the long par-3 to a funky green sloping left to right.The 7th plays downhill then uphill to a green with a ridge down centre and the short 8th’s green has three tiers and is guarded by a bunker on left and a valley short The 10th has a split fairway with water in between and an angled green; you have to go down the right if the pin is back left because of trees on that line The 11th is another split-fairway decision where you can drive straight then fly over the lake or go down the left and have a shot more ‘up’ the green The 17th is a Sawgrass tribute and then 18th ends on a reasonably shallow green protected for 95% of its front edge by water Another 10 minutes away and you’ll find CostaTerra This American group specialises in super-high-end developments with luxurious properties for sale and a Tom Fazio-designed course at its heart I’ve been to plenty of similar places and before I get to the golf I’ll just say that the service vibe and charm of CostaTerra’s clubhouse is up with the very best The view – over the treetops to the ocean – from the clubhouse verandah is breathtaking I’m assured by someone who has played several Fazio courses There is a distinct difference between the playing areas and the native vegetation with some sharp lines in contrast to the melding at Comporta Dunas The playing area for golf is clearly defined and immaculately presented It really was in terrific condition with comfortably the quickest greens of the trip There are plenty of greens with plenty of movement in them – apparently at times a bit more than is expected of Fazio – so sure touch with the putter and wedge is often essential ridges and curves on and around the greens are enhanced by the shapes being covered in tightly-mown grass This is not a links but putting from 20 yards away on these surfaces is possible It’s a big-boned course but pleasingly walkable with most holes gently undulating so that when the one or two with notable elevation arrive it appears as pleasant variety rather than a chore I stayed at Quinta da Comporta during my trip This boutique hotel is styled like farms native to the Comporta area giving it an atmosphere of rustic refinement Thatch-roof cabanas and mock farmhouses with tiled roofs mix with whitewashed walls wooden beams and elegant furnishings in this eco-friendly One of the farmhouses contains a superb spa and gym Chris Bertram is the Golf World Top 100 Courses and Resorts Editor He was born and brought up in Dumfriesshire and has been a sports journalist since 1996 initially as a junior writer with National Club Golfer magazine By Chris Bertram Golf World Top 100 Courses and Resorts Editor BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A longtime downtown Towson restaurant will close and be replaced by a local Mexican chain Cafe Troia is shutting down after 35 years on Allegheny Avenue RELATED | Three people shot on campus at Towson University It will be taken over by Banditos Bar & Kitchen which already has locations in Federal Hill and White Marsh Cafe Troia wrote: "It is time for Carol Troia to retire and for Lisa to move on to other endeavors Although 2020 presented a new set of hurdles to overcome This business is a labor of love and we offered that to you our loyal and dear clientele through our food and service."

Then she noticed swelling in her sternum area A visit to the emergency department and subsequent X-rays and a CAT scan found a spot on her lungs.  Considering her age and the fact that she wasn't a smoker But the spot remained and symptoms continued A biopsy four months later revealed the worst – Troia had stage 4 lung cancer trying to find one she trusted and a treatment regimen that worked for her She eventually returned to Omaha to be closer to her grandchildren and began care at another Omaha hospital But Troia still wasn't completely satisfied with her care Troia decided to get a second opinion.  It only took that one visit for Troia to know Dr Ganti would be her primary medical oncologist from there on out "He went through hundreds of pages of my medical records It was obvious that he was very intelligent and he knew his stuff I believe that he is the one who has kept me alive." Dr. Ganti changed her therapy to a newer targeted drug called tarceva, which has been effective in treating non-small cell lung cancer and has fewer side effects than the drug she had been taking. He also began scheduling CAT scans every three months and soon discovered fluid in Troia's brain area. Neurological surgeon Michele Aisenberg, MD performed surgery and removed a small amount of cancer.  She left the hospital three days after surgery Troia also achieved her best-selling year ever and performed ninth out of 750 agents with her real estate company.  Troia has also become a strong and vocal voice for lung cancer research twice to advocate before Congress as the Nebraska representative for the American Lung Association she and others with the American Lung Association were able to convince Congress to designate $40 billion to lung cancer research "She has greatly surpassed the life expectancy for people with this type of cancer There's something about Candi that makes her unique Study after study shows that people who have good functioning status The introduction of new targeted therapies and immunotherapies for lung cancer has also successfully increased the lifespan of certain types of lung cancer Not only are they typically more successful than chemotherapy but they also produce fewer side effects.  explains everything in detail and is never intimidating I noticed a big difference in my care from everyone It was like going from a Volkswagon to a Mercedes."

The Marshall Scholarship is one of the most prestigious scholarships for American citizens funding students who wish to pursue graduate study in the United Kingdom The scholarship was created by British Parliament in 1953 as a gift to the U.S in recognition of Secretary of State George C an economic initiative which helped strengthen ties between the U.S “I think I cried when I first heard that I had won it because it’s honestly such a dream come true,” Reyes-Stone said “It was a huge moment of relief and happiness.” Reyes-Stone is the fifth Brandeisian to win a Marshall Scholarship She joins other prominent alumni recipients including social and cultural historian Eileen Yeo; journalist and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Thomas Friedman; Benjamin N Cardozo School of Law professor Martin Stone; and Washington Post opinion writer and editor Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig as a press assistant for the House Democratic Caucus she will combine her interest in American government with evidence-based research and international policy Reyes-Stone said her education at Oxford and the London School of Economics will give her a unique skillset to help craft new policies for addressing the war on drugs “We need a multi-pronged approach,” Reyes-Stone said “We have to address addiction and decrease demand Billions of dollars are funneled into the drug trade and none of the problems are going away until you turn off that faucet We also have to work together with our allies because this is a transnational international problem that requires better coordination between nations.” Reyes-Stone is already experienced in studying international law and politics She interned with Parliamentarians for Global Action, where she focused on human rights, while studying abroad in the Netherlands. After graduating, she spent one year in Mexico through the Binational Business Fulbright and also took classes at the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico But Reyes-Stone is particularly thankful for the perspectives she gained while at Brandeis She said her professors played a pivotal role in shaping her desire to work as a policymaker “These are people who forever changed my life for the better,” Reyes-Stone added “Brandeis and the amazing faculty there have been essential to where I am now The faculty helped guide me to where I am now and pushed me to strive even higher.” In addition to the professors mentioned above the following people also supported Troia throughout the application process: Professor Dan Breen Director of Academic Fellowshios Meredith Monaghan Director of Programs in International Law and Justice Leigh Swigart Categories: Alumni, Humanities and Social Sciences, International Affairs Notices are posted by 10 am Monday through Saturday Adjust Text Size: A+ A- " style="text-align: justify;">It has been 10 years since you left us We will love you forever and are so thankful you were our mother As published in Winnipeg Free Press on May 04 Share your memories and/or express your condolences below Unfortunately with the need to moderate tributes for inappropriate content your comments may take up to 48 hours to appear This website requires Javascript for some parts to function properly Whether you’re a business or an individual Climeworks offers different levels of services and customized approaches Tailored carbon removal portfolios combining nature-based and engineered approaches Self-service online store for businesses and individuals Carbon removal purchases and subscriptions starting from 1 kilogram of CO₂ removed for businesses or individuals who need to pay via invoice or require guidance on volumes Climeworks launches second-generation direct air capture plant (DAC-3) in Italy as part of the Horizon 2020 research project STORE&GO The plant will filter up to 150 tons of CO₂ from ambient air per year and will be used as a key resource to produce carbon-neutral fuel for lorries through a process called Power-to-Gas This project will demonstrate the viability of large-volume energy storage through Power-to-Fuel technology in real-life applications and will be operated for 4,000 hours over the next 17 months Our new plant consists of three direct air capture (DAC) collectors that use Climeworks’ latest technology and require less energy than the plant we installed in Hinwil The plant will filter up to 150 tons of CO₂ from ambient air per year an alkaline electrolyzer (1.2 MW) locally generates 240 cubic meters of renewable hydrogen per hour by making use of excess on-site photovoltaic energy The captured CO₂ and renewable hydrogen are then catalytically methane (a process called Power-to-Gas) in modular reactors by French company ATMOSTAT The methane is then liquified and used to fuel natural gas lorries The Horizon 2020 project is not our first involvement in Power-to-Fuel/Power-to-Methane work Such work was first demonstrated in 2015 during a project consortium led by the Institute for Energy Technology and with partners Audi the University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil the Swiss Competence Centers for Energy Research the Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation Switching to renewables is a mandatory step to achieve a carbon-neutral economy and mitigate climate change The complete adoption of renewables will only be possible with sufficient large-volume energy storage as the European Union plans to use 43% of renewable energy by 2030 and 50% by 2050 Making use of the Europe-wide natural gas network in conjunction with STORE&GO technology thus holds considerable potential industrial partners of the STORE&GO project are ATMOSTAT Research partners are the CEA and Politecnico di Torino For the full English press release, see here High-quality carbon removal for your climate strategy No cookies = No worries: We don’t use 3rd party cookies and only use the cookies we strictly need to keep our website functioning.

That was one of the key conclusions in a study conducted by a group of 10 environmental scientists assistant professor of environmental science at UTSA Their findings were submitted in the paper cities can manage national hydrology and biodiversity using local infrastructure policy,” published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Their research was recognized by the Ecological Society of America (ESA), who awarded Troia and his fellow authors the 2021 Sustainability Science Award the research team demonstrated a novel approach to integrating ecosystem and social sciences embodying the mission of ESA’s Sustainability Science Award An alarming discovery from their research is that cities across United States have significantly altered at least 7% of streams which influence habitats for over 60% of North America’s fish city infrastructures have contributed to local extinctions in 260 species and currently influence 970 indigenous species “The primary finding is that the energy requirements from cities are impacting freshwater biodiversity,” Troia said Every bit of the landscape is by definition part of a watershed so rain falling on the landscape is going to end up in a stream or river and runoff from the city is going to impact streams rivers and the species living in them.” One city found to have a broader impact on biodiversity is Atlanta That city’s infrastructure impact extended across four major river basins covering 12,500 stream kilometers The report identified more than 100 local aquatic species now extinct “The southeastern United States is what we call a freshwater biodiversity hot spot,” Troia explained “There’s a lot of fresh water species that have been extirpated and it’s likely the consequence of urban development and construction of dams.” In addition to its biodiversity impact findings Troia and team received the Science Sustainability Award for highlighting ways policy makers can make better choices about land use The group promotes integrated planning and decision-making for greater sustainability of cities along with the water and energy sheds that support them or global regulations have failed to ensure future water sustainability cities provide alternative platforms to make the necessary changes including implementing local regulations and energy taxes and coordinating policies among cities and utilities,” the paper cited Troia and his research partners suggest cities attain water sustainability by adopting strategies to minimize reliance on infrastructures such as dams that impose significant hydrologic alterations to rivers and properly managing storm flows “Biodiversity has important intrinsic value If we lose some fish species to extinction we can’t get them back,” Troia said “Every species to some extent plays an important role in the ecosystem whether its role is a predator or as a prey item for larger fish and animals Losing biodiversity can have impacts on the ecosystem and humans rely on the ecosystem for clean water The lessons from Troia’s research have implications in Texas With most cities in the Lone Star State growing we could experience biodiversity issues similar to what’s taking place in the Southeast “My job as an ecology professor at UTSA is to teach the next generation on how losing biodiversity is going to have negative impacts on humanity,” Troia said “If we see spring-associated fish or salamanders in Central Texas starting to decline that might be an indicator we’re using too much water or we’re altering the quality of the water Both are really going to affect people because we really rely on water particularly in semi-arid places like Texas.” This is where Troia and his team feel there’s an opportunity for city leaders to step up their strategic planning for water sustainability They conclude this will require large-scale Innovative policy considerations are also necessary such as creating new basin treaties merging city governance with external institutions managing water infrastructure Troia took part in this research project with the Environmental Sciences Division
