LIVERPOOL'S IAN RUSH, JOHN BARNES CONFIRMED AS FIFA 20 NEW ICONS
It'd been quiet on the fut 20 coins news front for a hot sec with a lucky few (/shakes fist) mostly heads down on the ongoing closed beta.
Though there's no evidence to suggest uncorroborated rumors of an open beta (or additional round of codes) are going out anytime soon, we did get a sweet taste of FUT 20 developments when two of the remaining 9 FUT 20 Icon guesses panned out.
Former Liverpool greats Ian Rush and ex-England international John Barnes are officially confirmed in the fold for Ultimate Team's latest edition dropping this fall.
Though both players called it a career before many Futheaders were of age to closely follow them, Rush was an outstanding marksman with decent overall attributes that helped him see his clubs to 2 European Cups, 5 Football League First Division (the predecessor to the current Premier League) titles, and 8 total league or FA Cups. He probably won't fit the Meta -- assuming it's as prevalent as the competitive scene has made it of late -- but should be a nice pickup for any Liverpool devotee nonetheless.
Barnes, a pacey, skillfull winger, should be more of a tremendous all around forward in-game. Barnes was a part of two league title winners (one with Rush) and had three cup trophy lifts to his credit as well.Want to buy FIFA Coins from www.fifacoinsbuy.com
Troopz, known for his incredibly outspoken views and unique soundbites on Arsenal Fan TV after Gunners' games, announced on his Twitter that he has provided audio for all the action that takes place in the London cage.fifa 20 ultimate team coins
He initially thought the whole thing was a prank when EA Sports contacted him before slowly but surely getting to work and making the most of a dream opportunity.
Troopz really does feel like the perfect person for the job and fans are already looking forward to hearing "blud" and "fam" on repeat.
Fans have been clamouring for the return of FIFA Street for years now and while EA have listened, they've made sure that 'Volta' - which means "to return" in Portuguese - adds a new dimension to the game instead of being a nostalgia act.
Matt Prior, Creative Director for EA Sports, said there was "a whole world of football that EA haven't tapped into" and with the help of real-life street footballers, Volta has come to life after two years of planning.
Based around the 11v11 game engine but with new people involved in the creation process, you can play 3v3, 4v4, 5v5 and play with or without goalkeepers.Players can strut their stuff on a array of pitches (walls on or off) and locations, from a London cage to a Tokyo rooftop with a DJ and pyro, and choose from any team in the game - including a mixture of men and women.
There is a also story mode for VOLTA on FIFA 20 as well as an online league when the game is released worldwide on 24 September.Click to Buy more fut coins
Aimed at applications such as solar power inverters, UPS inverter stages and industrial variable frequency drives, the NXH160T120L2Q1SG and NXH160T120L2Q2F2SG Power Integrated Modules (PIMs) from ON Semiconductor will be introduced at electronica 2018 on November 13th in Munich.power inverter module
The devices are designed to relieve designers of the need to work with discrete IGBTs or MOSFETS. The goal is faster time-to-market, increased reliability, lower cost and significant savings in board real estate.
Both modules come in a module type in a growing series, currently with the Q0, Q1, and Q2 packages.The NXH160T120L2Q1SG and NXH160T120L2Q2F2SG devices utilize the Q1PACK and Q2PACK respectively and are aimed at inverters in the 30 kW to 50 kW range.
They incorporate field stop trench IGBTs and fast recovery diodes, resulting in lower conduction and switching losses. Designers are enabled to trade off between low VCE(SAT) and low EON / EOFF losses as the situation demands. High current operation with minimal effects from parasitic inductance is made possible by the units’ direct bond copper substrate, enabling high switching speeds. Isolation is speced at 3000 VRMS, and creepage is a solid 12.7 mm.
Both devices incorporate split T-type neutral point clamped three-level inverters built from two half-bridge 160A/1200V IGBTs with inverse diodes and both include a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. Each device also includes a second set of two neutral point IGBTs.
Renewable sources of energy such as wind or photovoltaic are intermittent. The production peaks do not necessarily follow the demand peaks. Storing green energy is therefore essential to moving away from fossil fuels. The energy produced by photovoltaic cells is stored during the day and by wind-power when the wind blows to be used later on when needed.
What do we have now?
The Li-ion technology is currently the best performing technology for energy storage based on batteries. Li-ion batteries are used in small electronics (smartphones, laptops) and are the best options for electric cars. Their drawback? Li-ion batteries can catch fire, for instance because of a manufacturing problem. This is due in part to the presence of liquid organic electrolytes in current batteries. These organic electrolytes are necessary to the battery but highly flammable.safe power battery
The solution? Switching from a liquid flammable electrolyte to a solid (i.e., moving to " all-solid-state " batteries). This is a very difficult step as lithium ions in solids are less mobile than in liquids. This lower mobility limits the battery performances in terms of charge and discharge rate.
The discovery made by UCLouvain
Scientists have been looking for materials that could enable these future all-solid-state batteries. Researchers from UCLouvain recently discovered such material. Its name? LiTi2(PS4)3 or LTPS. The researchers observed in LTPS the highest lithium diffusion coefficient (a direct measure of lithium mobility) ever measured in a solid. LTPS shows a diffusion coefficient much higher than known materials. The results are published in the scientific journal Chem from Cell Press.
The discovery? This lithium mobility comes directly from the unique crystal structure (i.e., the arrangement of atoms) of LTPS. The understanding of this mechanism opens new perspectives in the field of lithium ion conductors and, beyond LTPS, opens an avenue towards the search for new materials with similar diffusion mechanisms.
What's next? The researchers need for further study and improve the material to enable its future commercialization. This discovery is nevertheless an important step in the understanding of materials with extremely high lithium ion mobility which are ultimately needed for the developing the "all-solid-state" batteries of the future. These materials including LTPS might end up being used in many the technologies that we use in our daily lives from cars to smartphones.
This research was performed in collaboration with Toyota, which supported scientifically and financially the study. A patent has been filed listing the UCLouvain researchers as inventors.
If you’re considering installing a solar panel system, you’ve probably already had your share of exposure to solar marketing, whether through spammy ads promising free solar panels or a knock at the door signaling an eager solar salesman ready to convince you why you should go solar. To make the right decision for your home, you need to be able to distinguish between the real pros and cons of solar energy and the solar myths that are sometimes communicated in the media. solar energy solution
Solar is a revolutionary energy solution for property owners of any type, but like any energy decision, choosing to go solar has various advantages and disadvantages you should keep in mind. Of all the common benefits and drawbacks that come with going solar, here are a few of the ones that consistently rise to the top:
These solar energy pros and cons are some of the top-of-mind issues for solar shoppers. Read on to learn about these points and other in-depth and see the full list of solar energy pros and cons.
This top benefit of solar panels is pretty straightforward – when you install solar power for your home, you generate your own electricity, become less reliant on your electric utility and reduce your monthly electric bill. A solar panel system typically has a 25-35 year lifespan, which means that you can cut your electricity costs for decades to come by going solar. Use this instant estimate tool to get a customized estimate of your long-term electricity bill savings and review personalized projections for up-front cost and 20-year solar savings.
Millions of U.S. homeowners are interested in solar panels but haven’t taken the time to figure out what it takes to install them. This consumer reality and the undeniable benefits of having solar panels on a home complements recent studies that found property values increase after solar is installed. Thus, the second “pro” of solar can help to level out one of the cons that we discussed earlier – even if you’re planning on moving in the near future, you’ll earn back your solar panel investment and then some when you sell your home. To learn more about the increased resale value of solar homes and find out just how much solar adds to the market value of your property, check out this article on solar and property values.
Due to a number of awesome solar incentives in the U.S., solar panels can actually turn you a profit in addition to generating bill savings that pay off the cost of the system. Solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) and net metering are two key benefits of solar that allow you to earn bill credits (or even extra cash) as your system produces electricity. In these scenarios, you are being compensated for the electricity that your solar panels generate. If you live in a state where either of these incentives apply, you can expect both immediate and long-term returns from your solar investment.
The company applied for a design patent for the Nokia 4.2 on November 1, 2018, and the European Union's Intellectual Property Office, or EUIPO, granted the patent on March 7, 2019, reports NokiaMob. The report adds that HMD has also been granted the patent for the Nokia 210 as well. The notification LED in the power button falls under the "mobile phones (part of)" category. This has been designed by Richard Choi, an award-winning designer who works as Industrial design specialist at HMD Global.
The LED power button on the Nokia 3.2 and 4.2 offers a unique solution for consumers to know when they have received calls, messages or any other notification. By placing the LED light on the side of the frame, you will be able to see notifications even if you place your phone face-first on a flat surface. Moreover, the design does offer a very unique look for these Nokia phones. On the Nokia 4.2, the LED light glows around the power button like a halo, while on the Nokia 3.2 you get a strip of LED light on the surface of the button.
At MWC 2019, we took a look at the Nokia 3.2 and 4.2 phones up close and found the notification LED-cum-power button to look quite interesting and appealing. Moreover, these are also the first pair of Nokia phones to offer a dedicated Google Assistant button, which may come to more Nokia phones in the future depending on consumer reaction.
Both the Nokia 4.2 and 3.2 are the first pair of Nokia phones to sport waterdrop displays. The Nokia 4.2 sports a 5.7-inch HD+ display with a 19:9 aspect ratio, while the Nokia 3.2 comes with a bigger 6.2-inch HD+ display with a similar aspect ratio. The Google Assistant button on the left side will allow users to easily invoke Assistant on the go, something HMD feels will be appreciated by consumers as the Google AI becomes ever so popular.
The Nokia 4.2 and Nokia 3.2 are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 and Snapdragon 429 chipsets, respectively. The Android One devices ship with stock Android Pie with new gestures and features like Digital Wellbeing, App Slices, App Actions, Do Not Disturb and so on. The Nokia 4.2 and 3.2 come with a starting price of USD 169 (Approx Rs 12,000) and USD 139 (approx Rs 9,800), respectively and have been announced to go on sale in select markets in April.
The research team is based at Center for Micro-Bio Robotics (CMBR) of IIT in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), coordinated by Barbara Mazzolai, and their goal is to perform advanced research and to develop innovative methodologies, robotic technologies and new materials, inspired by the natural world. Bio-inspired approaches can therefore help to develop robots and technologies that are more suitable for unstructured environments than today's solutions. In 2012 Barbara Mazzolai coordinated the EU funded project Plantoid, which brought to the realization of the first plant robot in the world. In this last study, the research team studied plants and showed that leaves can create electricity when they are touched by a distinct material or by the wind.led display power supply
Certain leaf structures are capable to convert mechanical forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification. These charges are then immediately transmitted into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue acts similar to a "cable" and transports the generated electricity to other parts of the plant. Hence, by simply connecting a "plug" to the plant stem, the electricity generated can be harvested and used to power electronic devices. IIT's researchers show that the voltage generated by a single leaf may reach to more than 150 Volts, enough to simultaneously power 100 LED light bulbs each time the leaf is touched.
In the article, researchers additionally describe for the first time how this effect can be used to convert wind into electricity by plants. Therefore, researchers modified a Nerum oleander tree with artificial leaves that touch the natural N. oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the "hybrid tree" produces electricity. The electricity generated increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can be easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of the foliage of a tree or even a forest.
The study is a first essential step for a new project that Barbara Mazzolai will coordinate in 2019, the European-funded project Growbot whose aim is to realize bioinspired robots that implement plant-like growing motions. The new robots will be then partly powered by the new plant-derived energy source, showing that plants may become one of future's electricity supplies, accessible all over the world.
A passenger has died after a car slammed into a parked trailer Monday morning in the south Las Vegas valley, police confirm.Semi Trailer
The crash was reported around 4:45 a.m. at Robindale Road near Duneville Street, just east of Jones Boulevard, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police reported.In a statement, LVMPD said they learned a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 was heading east on Robindale when it went off the roadway and hit the back of a parked semi trailer.
The department's Traffic Bureau said on Twitter authorities suspect the driver of the car was impaired, and the passenger was "fighting to live."
Police said the passenger, identified as a 21-year-old man from State College, Pennsylvania, died from his injuries at UMC. The driver, identified as 21-year-old Eunbi Kim, suffered substantial injuries. She was arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol, according to LVMPD.
An Union Pacific train collided with a semi truck and trailer at the
crossing of 18th Street and Business Highway 75. The accident happened
at about 11:40 a.m. this (Friday) morning. The semi truck and trailer is
operated by Decker Trucking of Fort Dodge, Iowa, when apparently, the
truck was wanting to merge onto traffic on Highway 75, and the back
portion of the semi-trailer was still on the rail tracks when the train
hit the trailer. The
semi-trailer was an insulated trailer, but was
empty at the time of the collision. The driver of the truck was able to
escape without injuries.
Extensive damage happened to the semi-trailer, and to the rail crossing guards.Semi Trailer
The Railroad will keep the portion of 18th St. S.W. between Lincoln Ave. and Hawkeye closed until they replace the warning devices that was hit with the train vs semi accident this afternoon, 8/16/2019. They are going to try and have it reopened by Tuesday Aug 20th .
A semitruck trailer came unhitched, drifted into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on into a car on U.S. Highway 95 south of Coeur d’Alene on Wednesday morning.Two men in the car were taken Kootenai Health in critical condition, said Chris Schenck, Idaho State Police spokesman.They remained in critical condition Thursday morning, the hospital reported.
The truck, owned by Montana company Mergenthaler Transfer & Storage, was traveling south on the highway about 3 miles south of Coeur d’Alene at about 8:15 a.m. The trailer drifted into the northbound lane, striking a gray Nissan sedan, Schenck said.Accessories
The Nissan wedged under the semitruck trailer, and rescue crews had to hoist the end of the trailer to free the victims.
The driver of the Nissan, Nicholas S. Spooner, 25, and the passenger, Timothy P. Spooner, 59, were both wearing seat belts, according to a news release from Idaho State Police.Schenck said in his 29 years of working he can’t recall hearing about a trailer becoming unhitched from a semi. However, accidents like the one Wednesday have caused fatalities in the U.S. Last year, a man in Oklahoma died from a similar crash.
No citation has been issued and that detectives are investigating the cause of the crash, Schenck said.Mergenthaler Transfer & Storage spokesman Art Villa said Wednesday the company was still gathering information and had no further comment.
The road reopened at about 12:30 p.m., according to the news release.The Spooners were listed in critical condition Thursday morning at Kootenai Health.
