SQUILAX, BC

Talking Rock Golf Course at Quaaout Lodge & Spa at Talking Rock Resort has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Golf Courses by SCOREGolf for 2026, marking the course’s third straight appearance on the biennial list. Owned and operated by Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw (formerly the Little Shuswap Lake Band), Talking Rock is one of only a handful of public-access courses in British Columbia to hold a spot among the country’s best.

SCOREGolf’s write-up on the Graham Cooke and Wayne Carleton design praises Talking Rock as “a fantastic, forested course with dramatic mountain views.” While the double-dogleg par-5 seventh is considered its signature hole, the ranking points to the par-3 15th as the course’s biggest moment, calling out the tee shot’s view of Little Shuswap Lake as a highlight of the round.

More than 90 volunteer raters, unaffiliated with SCOREGolf, score eligible courses across nine categories including design, conditioning, and fun factor, with fun factor weighted heaviest at 20 percent of a course’s total score. Courses need at least 10 ratings logged over the past decade to qualify, and scores made before major renovations are discounted.

“These ratings come from more than 90 people who travel this country and know good golf when they play it. There’s no marketing behind that process, just what they experienced on our course,” said Cody Bell, General Manager and Executive Golf Professional at Talking Rock. “Holding our place in the Top 100 for a third straight list tells us the golf experience we’re building here is real, and it’s one we plan to keep sharpening as the rest of the resort grows around it.”

Talking Rock is open for the season, with tee times available alongside lunch and dinner options at Jack Sam’s Restaurant. Golfers can book a round or plan a visit at quaaoutlodge.com.

GLENDALE, CA

The firm’s four-tiered Survivor Advocacy & Justice Experts (SAJE) Team provides survivors with 24/7 access to attorneys, an in-house investigator, a victim advocate, and a clinical therapist.

Dordulian Law Group (DLG), one of California’s most recognized civil litigation firms specializing in sexual assault and sexual abuse cases, today announced a renewed commitment to survivor-centered justice through its four-tiered Survivor Advocacy & Justice Experts (SAJE) Team. Unlike traditional law firms, DLG surrounds every client with a comprehensive support network available around the clock, at no upfront cost.

A Compassionate Four-Tiered Team Built to Support Sexual Assault Survivors

At the core of DLG’s approach is the recognition that survivors of sexual assault need more than legal representation. They need a team. The SAJE Team is structured across four distinct tiers, each serving a critical role in a client’s path to justice:

1. Elite Legal Representation. Led by founding attorney Samuel Dordulian, a former sex crimes prosecutor and Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County with 100+ jury trial victories, DLG’s Los Angeles sexual assault attorneys bring unmatched courtroom experience to every case. Sam also serves on the National Leadership Council for RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network), the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence nonprofit.
2. In-House Chief Investigator. Moses Castillo, a retired LAPD sex crimes detective with over 30 years of investigative experience, serves as DLG’s in-house Chief Investigator. His expertise allows the firm to build stronger cases by gathering key evidence.
3. Licensed Victim Advocates. Two dedicated, licensed, and accredited victim advocates work alongside DLG’s legal team to support survivors of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse throughout the legal process, ensuring every client feels heard, respected, and protected.
4. In-House Clinical Therapist. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, DLG’s in-house therapist provides survivors with direct access to mental health resources and support, a service rarely offered by any law firm, let alone available 24/7.

A Proven Track Record of Supporting, Empowering, and Winning for Survivors

DLG’s SAJE Team carries a 98% winning record and has recovered over $150 million in settlements and verdicts for survivors across California. The firm handles the full spectrum of sexual assault and abuse cases, including child sexual abuse, school sexual abuse, Uber and Lyft sexual assault, clergy sexual abuse, youth sports sexual abuse, workplace sexual harassment, nursing home sexual abuse, and more.

“Every survivor who walks through our doors deserves more than a lawyer. They deserve a team that fights for them on every front,” said Sam Dordulian, Founder and President of Dordulian Law Group. “The SAJE Team exists because true justice is not just about winning in court, but also making sure our clients feel supported, believed, and empowered every step of the way.”

California Law Gives Sexual Assault Survivors Options

DLG’s Los Angeles sexual assault attorneys stay current on evolving California legislation to ensure clients pursue every available avenue for compensation. Survivors should be aware of key statutes that may apply to their case, including AB 2777 (Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act) for adult survivors and AB 452 for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Time limits apply, and early action can significantly impact case outcomes.

Deputy District Attorney Samuel Dordulian, the firm focuses on sexual assault, sexual abuse, and personal injury cases.

Mission Robotic Vehicle and Three Mission Extension Pods Introduce Advanced Satellite Life-Extension, Robotic Servicing, Refueling, and AI-Enabled Space Operations

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) today announced the successful launch of its groundbreaking Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) alongside three Mission Extension Pods (MEPs), representing a significant milestone in the evolution of autonomous in-space satellite servicing. The mission is designed to enhance the resilience, mobility, and sustainability of critical space assets through advanced robotic technologies, life-extension capabilities, and future-ready artificial intelligence integration.

Developed through Northrop Grumman’s long-standing investment in space innovation and in collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the MRV establishes a new class of autonomous space robotics capable of supporting a broad range of on-orbit operations, including satellite inspection, servicing, relocation, repair, debris removal, upgrades, experimentation, and in-space assembly.

“The MRV represents an entirely new class of advanced autonomous space robotics that will continue to learn and evolve to support future missions,” said Ryan Tintner, Vice President and General Manager, Space Superiority, Northrop Grumman. “These capabilities move beyond demonstration projects and provide unprecedented opportunities for satellite servicing and mission sustainment.”

The Mission Robotic Vehicle incorporates DARPA’s advanced robotics payload, developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, featuring dual fully articulated robotic arms equipped with specialized tools designed for complex in-space servicing operations. The vehicle also launches with the first Passive Refueling Module (PRM), a U.S. Space Force-approved docking and refueling interface standard that enables future on-orbit refueling and extended mission endurance.

Accompanying the MRV are three Mission Extension Pods that function as propulsion “jetpacks,” providing supplemental thrust to extend satellite operational lifespans while enabling repositioning and maneuverability. The smaller-form-factor MEPs build upon the proven success of Northrop Grumman’s Mission Extension Vehicles (MEVs), offering a more cost-effective and scalable satellite life-extension solution.

The MRV also includes advanced onboard processing capabilities designed to support future AI-powered autonomous operations. Northrop Grumman continues to integrate artificial intelligence into its space systems to improve reliability, reduce operational costs, strengthen mission assurance, and enable increasingly sophisticated in-space servicing capabilities.

The new platform builds upon Northrop Grumman’s demonstrated leadership in satellite servicing. Its two operational Mission Extension Vehicles have successfully docked with three commercial communications satellites in geosynchronous orbit, delivering more than a decade of combined mission extension services. The MRV, MEPs, and MEVs leverage the company’s American manufacturing expertise, including mission-critical thermal control systems, advanced electronics, and electric propulsion technologies essential for sustained in-space operations.

Northrop Grumman continues to advance technologies that support national security, commercial space operations, and the long-term sustainability of orbital infrastructure through innovative autonomous servicing solutions.
