The passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch, signals the end of an era not just for Great Britain but for the world at large. That includes the global scientific and technological community. Over the course of her long reign, the queen bestowed various honors on several leaders in science and technology—her very own knights of the sci-tech table. We mark her passing with a select list of some of the most prominent scientists and technologists thus honored.

Jony Ive

Apple CEO Tim Cook and chief design officer Jony Ive look at the new Mac Pro on June 3, 2019.

Jony Ive has had a massive influence on the design of Apple products, most notably the distinctive looks of the iMac, Power Mac G4 Cube, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. You can also blame his obsession with thinness for the problematic butterfly keyboard and the removal of the MagSafe power connector, HDMI port, and SD card readers from the MacBook. Nobody’s perfect.

Ive started his career at a London design firm called Tangerine, where he was charged with designing common household products like microwave ovens, toilets, drills, and toothbrushes. But he found the work frustrating, given that clients often didn’t share his streamlined modern tastes. After one such client rejected his design for a toilet and bidet, he decided to accept an offer to join Apple, even though it meant moving his family to the US. He had a rocky start and purportedly nearly quit. Steve Jobs convinced him to stay when Jobs returned to the company after his infamous 1985 ouster.

  • Phil Mickelson defeated Tiger Woods in match play to win $ 9 million on Friday.
  • The match took longer than expected, with four playoff holes needed to determine a victor.
  • Both players missed numerous opportunities to take down a decisive victory through the final holes before Mickelson finally prevailed.

It took longer than expected, but after 22 holes of match play, Phil Mickelson defeated Tiger Woods to take home $ 9 million in prize money.

The match between Mickelson and Woods was marked by an ending filled with missed opportunities.

TP Link Archer A7TP-Link

  • Traditional WiFi routers are usually hard to set up and manage, which makes them a lot harder to recommend than modern, mesh routers, which are smarter and have better performance.
  • I’ve been trying out TP-Link’s Archer A7 router, which has smart features like parental controls, a device block list, and setup and management that you can manage from an app. 
  • In my tests, the A7 could handle several internet-intensive tasks, like playing online games while streaming video, or downloading large files while browsing the web, without slowing down.
  • It’s not as powerful as modern mesh routers, but for $ 70 this is a traditional router I can easily recommend.

In a recent review I called mesh routers — which are typically sold in multi-packs, connecting to one other to spread WiFi evenly throughout your home — the future of networking, and I stand by that.

The NHL regular season is down to the closing seven days and final 50 games before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin next week.

There still are a few post-season spots to be decided and the battle for the Presidents’ Trophy also will go down to the wire between the Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins.

Of course, the Tampa Bay Lightning have not given up hope of stealing back top spot in the Atlantic Division. Boston has a two-point advantage with four games remaining and a game in hand on their division rivals. Plenty in this race could be determined when the Bruins visit Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is a lock to win his second straight Art Ross Trophy, but the winner of the Rocket Richard Trophy is still in doubt.

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is at 45 goals, two ahead of Winnipeg Jets sophomore Patrik Laine and three more than Vegas Golden Knights between-the-legs magic man William Karlsson and Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin.

It’s also worthwhile keeping an eye on the wins category for goalies. Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy has won 42 games so far, one more than Nashville’s Pekka Rinne and Connor Hellebuyck of the Jets.

But maybe the closest and crowded individual contest is for the Hart Trophy. The final week will go a long way in determining this award. Who do you like? Taylor Hall, Nathan MacKinnon, Nikita Kucherov, Claude Giroux, Brad Marchand, Anze Kopitar or Blake Wheeler?

As far as the playoff picture goes, the eight Eastern Conference teams are close to being settled. The New Jersey Devils increased their advantage to seven points in the fight for the final playoff spot over the Florida Panthers on Sunday, thanks to Hall’s clutch short-handed goal with less than five minutes remaining to give New Jersey a 2-1 win in Montreal against the Canadiens.

The New Jersey Devils topped the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 and now sit 7 points ahead of the Florida Panthers for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.1:40

The Panthers have two games in hand, but they appear out of gas. They stumbled to a 0-2-1 record last week, and among their final five games, they play two games against Boston and one versus the league-leading Predators. The Devils, meanwhile, conclude their season with home games against the New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs and visit the Capitals on Saturday.

Devils making a surge

The Devils are on the verge of making their first playoff appearance since losing the 2012 Stanley Cup final to the Los Angeles Kings. New Jersey could be among as many as seven newcomers to the post-season from a year ago.

Out will be the Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks, Oilers, Flames and possibly the St. Louis Blues, who are in a battle among five teams in the Western Conference for the final three playoff positions.

  • Anaheim 95 points (three games remaining)
  • Los Angeles 94 points (three games remaining)
  • Colorado 93 points (three games remaining)
  • St. Louis 92 points (four games remaining)
  • Dallas 88 points (three games remaining)

The Blues appeared down and out on Sunday evening. They were drubbed 6-0 on the road by the lowly Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. The Avalanche had a 3-1 lead in Anaheim, but the Ducks rallied for a 4-3 win in overtime to keep Colorado within striking distance for St. Louis.

The Blues control their fate with a game in hand. They finish this week with home games against Washington on Monday and Chicago on Wednesday before visiting the Blackhawks on Friday and a critical road match against the Avalanche on Saturday.

The Stars did themselves in with a 0-6-2 stretch in mid-March, but two wins in three games have given Dallas faint hope. The Stars travel to California for games against San Jose on Tuesday, Anaheim on Friday and Los Angeles on Saturday to conclude their regular season.

The Avalanche, attempting to go from 30th place to a playoff spot, have road games against the Kings on Monday, the Sharks on Thursday and finish at home against the Blues on Saturday.

The Kings play host to Colorado on Monday, the Minnesota Wild on Thursday and the Stars on Saturday.

The Ducks, who are in the driver’s seat, play host to the Wild on Wednesday, the Stars on Friday and visit Arizona on Saturday.

It should be an interesting final seven days and 50 games. Then, we’ll see which non-playoff coaches survive — not a single coach was fired during the regular season — next week before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin.

For much of 2017, the main concerns were political and the markets seemed to surmount them as easily as a robot dog opens doors (the latest internet sensation).

But February has shown that the market is still vulnerable. The immediate trigger seems to have been the fear that inflationary pressures would cause bond yields to rise and central banks to push up interest rates; this week’s surprisingly high American inflation numbers will only add to the worries. In a narrow sense, that makes bonds look cheaper, compared with equities. In a broader sense, it increases the discount rate investors apply to future profits, lowering the present value of shares. (A caveat is needed: if higher rates reflect stronger growth, then estimates of future profits should rise, offsetting the discount-rate effect.)

The immediate effect has been to create uncertainty for investors about the direction of central-bank policy, after many years in which it could reliably be assumed that rates would stay low. This translates into a more volatile market, as illustrated by the sharp jump in the Vix, or volatility index, in early February.
