AMD's Radeon RX 6900 XT, the flagship Big Navi GPU based graphics card, launches next month & is expected to compete against the GeForce RTX 3090. Twitter fellow, Patrick Schur, managed to get access to the BIOS of the reference AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT which reveals a higher max frequency than the RX 6800 XT. AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Max Clocks Rated at 3.0 GHz, 200 MHz Higher Than The Radeon RX 6800 XT The BIOS was accessed and its specifics were listed within the MorePowerTool which lists down various parameters such as clocks, the power limit, and fan speeds. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT seems to feature the same fan profiles and power limits as the RX 6800 XT however, the minimum power limit is raised from 6% to 10%.The most interesting thing is that the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT reference model should come with a maximum graphics clock of 3000 MHz or 3.0 GHz. That's 200 MHz higher than the 2800 MHz or 2.8 GHz max clock of the Radeon RX 6800 XT. Using LN2 cooling, overclockers were able to achieve the 2.8 GHz maximum clock speed of the RX 6800 XT and able to break the single-GPU 3DMark world-record.Now having a wall around the limits of the max clock overclocker's ability to push these graphics cards further since they are hitting the wall easily when running the card on LN2. The RX 6900 XT should allow overclockers slightly higher headroom which is a first for any high-end GPU (to hit 3.0 GHz) but at the same time, overclocking it further would be a no-go unless they can bypass the limit with a custom BIOS. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT features more than just higher clocks. It has more cores and a faster-binned GPU which should allow for faster and more stable clocks. It looks like the Radeon RX 6900 XT will be breaking some big world records when it launches. The card is expected to launch first in reference flavors only but users shouldn't give up hopes on getting custom models in the future or at least when the RX 6000 series supply gets better. AMD RX 6900 XT "Big Navi 21 XT" GPU Powered 16 GB Graphics Card The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT will come packed with the Navi 21 XTX GPU which is the fully enabled die featuring 80 Compute Units or 5120 SPs. The card will also feature 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus interface, a 512 GB/s total bandwidth, and clock speeds of 2015 MHz base and 2250 MHz boost at reference specs. There are also 80 Ray accelerators for ray-tracing enablement on the graphics cards (one RA per Compute Unit). The graphics card will feature a TBP of 300W. In addition to the standard memory, the Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card will also feature 128 MB of Infinity Cache on the GPU die. The cache will help boost bandwidth for higher performance at resolutions beyond 1080p HD. The 128 MB Infinity Cache boosts the standard 512 GB/s bandwidth by 3.25x, delivering an effective bandwidth of up to 1.664 TB/s across all Big Navi GPU based graphics cards. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics cards will be available starting the 8th of December. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT is said to carry a price tag of $999 US and is expected to be a reference only model for this year unless AMD gives its AIB partners a greenlight for custom variants which may be in the plans.

n light of recent media reports, FIFPro wishes to clarify the manner in which it obtains the image rights of players, and its role in defending the employment rights of professional footballers worldwide. FIFPro, a not-for-profit organisation, acquires image rights via player unions in nearly 60 countries. These rights are made available to Electronic Arts and other clients in the video gaming industry. FIFPro’s relationship with the video gaming companies complements separate arrangements they directly agree with clubs, leagues, governing bodies, and individual players. FIFPro member unions decide how best to use the revenue generated, either by distributing funds directly among players or providing services in kind such as legal advice, second-career planning, and mental and physical assistance. FIFPro is reaching out to the players and their representation that have recently raised concerns so we can address their questions. As the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacts the football industry, we are proud of our member unions for having supported tens of thousands of footballers around the world. Meanwhile, Mino Raiola – a big-shot agent who represents a number of high-profile footballers, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba – from weighing in on the situation. Earlier in the week, he posted the following on Twitter earlier in the week: That's prompted EA Sports to release the following statement: Mino Raiola is a respected player representative who we have partnered with for many years, including this year when our relationship ensured his client Erling Haaland would be part of our FIFA 21 marketing campaign. We have also enjoyed a great working relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimović, who has appeared in every FIFA since 2002 and regularly received awards as part of our FUT experience. Gareth Bale’s eSports Company Elleven utilises our FIFA game as a key platform for his professional eSports athletes and we’re confident Gareth and his team see significant value in our partnership, as evidenced through this recently released content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERNNZv-bBWk There's no sign of this row dying down just yet, but the latest round of statements should at least temporarily quell the conversation. Update (25th November, 2020): EA Sports has sent us a strongly worded statement in response to the player rights row exploding on social media this week. It told us that recent events are an attempt to drag FIFA 21 into "a dispute between a number of 3rd parties and has little to do with EA Sports". Here's its statement in full: We are aware of discussions around licensing of players in EA Sports FIFA. The current situation being played out on social media is an attempt to draw FIFA 21 into a dispute between a number of 3rd parties and has little to do with EA Sports. To be very clear, we have contractual rights to include the likeness of all players currently in our game. As already stated, we acquire these licenses directly from leagues, teams, and individual players. In addition, we work with FIFPro to ensure we can include as many players as we can to create the most authentic game. In these instances, our rights to player likenesses are granted through our club agreement with AC Milan and our long-standing exclusive partnership with the Premier League, which includes all players for Tottenham Hotspur. So, effectively, it's saying that it's fulfilling its legal obligations, and that players would be better taking issue with the organisations selling their rights and not the game itself. That seems fair. All the same, this row looks set to rumble on. Original Story: It was all looking like a routine week for EA Sports and FIFA 21, until AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic took to social media. The iconic forward – who once scored a bicycle kick from outside the penalty area against England – said it was “time to investigate” the use of his name and likeness in the uber-po[CENSORED]r football game. Tottenham winger Gareth Bale quickly followed with a similar comment. And now The Athletic reports that, while there’s currently no coordinated effort from professionals, more are poised to object to the title’s use of their names and likenesses in the game. Image rights are a complicated issue for sports, and it’s why we’ve seen a huge decline in tennis games in recent years. With titles like Tennis World Tour 2, the rights need to be negotiated for each player individually, which is an enormous headache for publishers. Leagues like the NFL and NBA have Player Associations, which license out the names and likenesses of the sport’s top talent, where football is governed by FIFPro. However, it seems that by and large those image rights are offloaded to individual leagues, such as the Premier League and La Liga. Of Europe’s top five leagues, only Serie A has not collectivised its video game rights. EA Sports says that it has an individual deal with AC Milan, which is why Zlatan Ibrahimovic can be included in the game. Sustained pressure from professionals could, however, in theory put pressure on how these contracts are negotiated.It’s definitely interesting stuff. Licensing is obviously a huge selling-point for FIFA, not just because of its offline modes, but also because of Ultimate Team; cards are coveted because they’re based on real-world professionals. Legally, we have to imagine EA Sports is doing everything above board here, but increased scrutiny is the last thing it needs as it continues to battle governments globally over its use of microtransactions as well.

Brutto incidente per Grosjean: la sua auto sbatte e s’incendia durante il Gp del Bahrein. Il pilota della Haas è riuscito ad uscire salvo dalla sua macchina in fiamme distrutta e quasi esplosa per un impatto contro le barriere subito dopo il via. Per lui bruciature alle mani e alle caviglie oltre a delle sospette fratture alle costole. E’ stato portato rapidamente all’Ospedale militare di Manama.La dinamica Tutto comincia appena dopo la partenza che vedeva la Haas del francese scattare dalle retrovie. Si tocca con un’altra vettura, l’Alpha Tauri di Kvyat, e finisce dritto contro il guardrail tutta velocità. Nell’impatto la vettura si spezza in due e prende fuoco. Un dramma che in altri tempi avrebbe provocato la morte del pilota. Che non arriva per due motivi: da un lato il progresso tecnico, dall’altro il fattore umano. Il progresso tecnico è dato dai miglioramenti che si sono avuti negli ultimi anni sulla scocca e dall’introduzione dell’Halo (quella sorta di cupolino che protegge la parte alta dell’abitacolo). Poi il fattore umano, dato dalla grande capacità psicofisica di un pilota di F1: Grosjean non perde conoscenza e mantiene la freddezza di togliersi le cinture, sganciare l’apparato che tiene incollato il collo al sedile e, aiutato dal coraggioso medico di pista che si lancia in soccorso, riesce a porsi in salvo. Guenteher Steiner, team principal della Haas spiega: «Romain è stato portato in ospedale, sta bene ed è cosciente. Dobbiamo ringraziare la fortuna, il medico della Fia Roberts e tutti i commissari che hanno fatto un lavoro straordinario». Hamilton Scossi anche i piloti presenti in pista. Spiega il campione del mondo della Mercedes Lewis Hamilton in un post sul suo account Instagram: «Sono molto grato che Romain sia salvo. Wow... il rischio che corriamo non è uno scherzo, per quelli di voi che si dimenticano che mettiamo in gioco la nostra vita per questo sport e per quello che amiamo fare. Ringraziamo la Fia per i passi da gigante in materia di sicurezza che abbiamo fatto e perché Romain esca da questo incidente ne sano e salvo». Altro brivido alla ripartenza, Stroll si ribalta Quando la gara riparte quasi due ore dopo, nuovo brivido: Kvyat stringe Stroll, la macchina del canadese si ribalta. Illeso, ma che paura. Sainz: «Dio mio, che gara». Il russo dell’AlphaTauri viene punito dai commissari di gara con un stop&go di 10’’

As Australia’s wealthy descend upon the coastal lifestyle hotspot of Byron Bay, helping house prices rise to record levels, the hunt is on to uncover the country’s next beachside gem. Buyers have begun spilling into areas north and south of Byron Bay, inundating real estate agents who report a shortage of stock and high demand for homes during the final few months of a year affected by economic uncertainty and the coronavirus pandemic. As Australia’s most easterly point, Byron Bay is famous for its beautiful beaches and rural backdrop, an idyllic haven on the far north coast of the New South Wales, 90 kilometers south of the Gold Coast in Queensland and 760 kilometers (472 miles)—or a short flight—north of Sydney. More: Billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes Makes Latest Australian Property Buy In the past five years, it’s become a hive of activity for hipsters, the health-conscious and Hollywood heavyweights such as Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky. A real estate darling, one of Byron Bay Shire’s most desirable suburbs, Bangalow was named as Australia’s best-performing regional center over the past two decades in a report released by the REA Group this month. The REA Insights Regional Australia Report 2020 found prices in Bangalow increased 1,281% from A$76,025 in 2000 to A$1.05 million (US$770,000) this year. The report also noted the move to remote-working since the pandemic reached Australian shores in the first week of March has accelerated interest in parts of regional Australia including NSW’s Northern Rivers, the area around Byron Bay where interest has pushed prices up almost 30% in the past three months, according to realestate.com.au figures. More: Buyers Seeking Greener Pastures Are Finding the Potential in Australia’s Untapped Markets REA chief economist Nerida Conisbee, who authored the report, said the movement out of capital cities has led to strong property market conditions in many regional areas around Australia. “Prior to Covid-19, fringe cities were benefiting from po[CENSORED]tion growth and affordability and that trend has continued to accelerate,” Ms. Conisbee said.“The biggest change occurring is the rising po[CENSORED]rity of areas that are not within commuting distance to a CBD [Central Business District]. Over the last 20 years, beachside areas have become more attractive, which has resulted in significant price growth.” The Next Byron Bay Agents working the NSW Northern Rivers region and neighboring Mid North Coast are benefiting from Byron Bay’s buoyancy, which they say has forced buyers to look for more affordable options and less in-demand locations. Sotheby’s International Realty agent Dominique Vasers-Williams said improved road infrastructure and more flights into the closest regional airport at Ballina, have improved accessibility and brought fresh buyers to the area immediately south of Byron Bay. “It’s transformed the travel time from Sydney and it’s become an option for people to get into this part of the world rather than somewhere more high profile and busier such as the Gold Coast,” she said. More: Australia’s Prestige Lifestyle Property Boom Two of her most recent listings have attracted extreme interest including a vacant block of oceanfront land at Ocean Street, Yamba, which has a price guide of A$2.75 million. The pre-auction sale of a luxury holiday home on Peninsula Street in Hastings Point set a record for the town, which is a 40-minute drive north of Byron Bay, when it sold for A$4.45 million in September. It last sold in 2006 for A$2.75 million. Several of the potential buyers interested would historically and traditionally have looked at Byron Bay,” Ms. Vasers-Williams said. “There’s definitely a consideration around value for money and the po[CENSORED]tion has grown significantly [in Byron Bay] too. People who are coming out of the city are asking themselves why they would go from one busy hotspot to another. They want space, peace and quiet, they don’t want to battle crowds or get caught in traffic.” More: Returning Expats and Local Buyers Boost Sydney’s Super-Prime Market, Says Knight Frank Partner REA Group indicates the average number of views per listing on realestate.com.au for NSW properties is 1,591. In regional NSW the average number of views per listing is 963. Figures compiled for Mansion Global show the average number of views per property listing in Hastings Point and Yamba has increased 89% and 90% respectively compared to November 2019. “One of the strongest areas in Australia for property search and price growth is the coastal region of NSW from the Mid North Coast up to the Queensland border,” Ms.Conisbee said. “In regional Australia, the Mid North Coast has seen the third strongest price growth over the past three months. In regional NSW, only Coffs Harbour-Grafton has seen stronger price growth. More: A Guide to the Season's New Developments “People are definitely looking beyond Byron Bay and heading both north and south. Coffs Harbour-Grafton and Mid North Coast are seeing some of the strongest price growth in NSW at the moment.” Coastal Shift The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released data in November that revealed a mass exodus of people moved out of Australia’s two biggest capital cities, Melbourne and Sydney, in the June quarter, with regional areas the greatest beneficiaries of this trend. The one-way traffic away from city areas correlates with property figures from CoreLogic, which shows property prices across Australia’s capital cities dropped 2.3% between March and October. In contrast, there has been a 1.7% spike in values across regional areas during the pandemic, with regional NSW surging 3.3%. Anecdotally, Ms. Vaser-Williams confirmed the trend is well and truly underway. More: Bondi Beach, One of Sydney’s Most Desirable Areas, Is Not Just for Tourists “The interest is definitely coming from Sydney and Melbourne from people looking to relocate,” she said. “Relocation is the common story. It’s almost clichéd, even though people knew prior to Covid they could work from home, people are telling me on a daily basis now they don’t need to be in a city.” Areas once known more as getaway and holiday locations have become permanent homes, with smaller apartments being kept in Sydney for visits back to see family and friends. More: Developers Globally Are Delaying Projects and Rethinking Design Following Coronavirus “People are thinking very much with their hearts not their heads at the moment, there’s a lack of stock and a sense of urgency to jump in and get in. That’s what’s happening,” Ms. Vaser-Williams said. Further south again, two hours from Byron Bay, Elders Real Estate agent Jake Kroehnert has also seen a rush to buy coastal properties. An original beachfront property on Main Street in Wooli he took to auction in late October attracted 20 registered bidders and sold for A$1.361 million. It was a record price for the area and well in excess of the pre-auction price guide of A$850,000 to A$900,000. It just went off,” Mr. Kroehnert said of the auction. “It always had the potential to generate that interest but it came very late. There were some big players but there were a lot of opportune buyers that thought they’d have a crack at it.” The interest was mixed, Mr. Kroehnert recalled, with “heaps of inquiry” coming out of the Byron Bay shire, Sydney, Brisbane and internationally from Abu Dhabi. He said plenty of buyers had reassessed their priorities since the pandemic and were looking for lifestyle and relaxation, which Wooli is renowned for. The nearest major township is Grafton, inland by 30 minutes, with Wooli’s services limited to a public primary school, bowling club, pub and a community built around outdoor activities such as surfing and fishing. From Penta: Richard Mille and Bulgari Channel the Disco Era with Dazzling High Jewelry Watches “We had at least 30% of the inquiry coming out of Byron Bay and lots of bidders prepared to purchase sight unseen,” he said. “The prices around where they’re coming from have risen substantially compared to Wooli, and it’s a little coastal town much like Byron Bay used to be. A lot of people are trying to get out of Byron Bay as it has become too mainstream, they’ve been priced out or they’ve sold out for big dollars.” Mr. Kroehnert is so confident demand for the area’s property will continue he made an offer on an investment property in Wooli for himself within days of the red hot auction. “Two weeks ago I definitely wasn’t thinking of doing that but off the back of that campaign I thought ‘I’m mad if I don’t’ because there’s only one way that town is going and that’s up,” he said.

Albert Lea police continue to advise residents to stay away from South Fourth Avenue and West Front Street as the standoff continues with a shooter at Shady Oaks apartments. Police stated three people have been shot, including one Albert Lea police officer. The officer, who was shot in the chest, has been released from the hospital, and the two others injured have been transported to a Rochester hospital. Police were dispatched to Shady Oaks, 800 S. Fourth Ave., at 2:18 a.m. today on a report of a possible noise complaint or weapons violation. It was reported that fireworks or gunshots were heard. Upon arrival, the suspect reportedly shot at the officer, striking the squad car at least two times and the officer once. The officer was able to relocate to a safe zone, assess possible injuries and drove himself to the emergency room at Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea, according to a press release. One of the other people shot was on his way to work, police stated. Police stated they believe there is one shooter and believe the incident is isolated to the Shady Oaks building, although there have been other reports coming in from other parts of town. Some Shady Oaks residents have been relocated to United Methodist Church for safety and others are sheltering in place. Residents nearby are asked to stay in their homes. United Methodist Pastor John Mitchem, who also serves as the chaplain for Albert Lea police and Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office deputies, said Sunday morning over 40 residents from the apartment complex were at the church. “We believe we are able to be a blessing to the community in a time of need,” Mitchem said. Several churches have also called to see how they can help, but he said he thinks the church has everything it needs at this point. Food and coffee were brought in for the people, and Mitchem said they would provide shelter as long as needed. “It’s church being able to bring lightness into people’s darkness,” he said. The South Central Drug Investigative Unit SWAT team, along with neighboring SWAT teams from Mankato and Austin are responding, along with the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office, Minnesota State Patrol, Albert Lea Fire Department and Mayo Clinic Ambulance. Look to the Tribune for updates as they become available.

t looks like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is turning out to be one of the leakiest graphics cards of all time with several custom variants either being listed early on by retailers or being unboxed by many who already have the cards in hands (mostly retailers themselves). Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 3060 Ti AORUS Master, Gaming OC (PRO) & Eagle OC Custom Models Unboxed While Many Other Variants Listed Online A Chinese retailer has posted a full unboxing video of the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti AORUS Master, Gaming OC (PRO) & Eagle OC graphics cards. Both cards were earlier listed and leaked by online retailers & from the looks of it, retailers seemingly have no problem showing a full unboxing of these cards days prior to launch. The video posted at Bilibili (Via Momomo_US) can be seen below:In the video, the China-based shop owner gives us a look at the three variants. First up, we have the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Eagle OC which is a dual-fan and dual-slot design. The card features a custom PCB design and is powered by a single 8-pin connector. The card makes use of a heatsink that is made out of several aluminum fins and features four direct contact copper pipes. The back-plate extends beyond the PCB and has a cut out to vent hot air out of the back. The Eagle OC card in specific will come with a 1695 MHz boost clock.The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC is a more premium model that makes use of a dual-slot and triple-fan cooling solution. The card features a much bigger aluminum heatsink and has a full cover backplate that has cutouts for the third fan to vent air out of. The graphics card makes use of a custom PCB and features a single 8-pin connector to boot.There's also the Gaming OC Pro variant which makes use of an even higher-end cooler & heatsink design and incorporates it all within a 2.5 slot form factor. The card has a more powerful PCB and as such features a higher boost clock of 1770 MHz. The graphics card is powered by an 8+6 pin connector configuration.Gigabyte also has the AORUS Master variant in the works which unlike the 4-slot RTX 3080/3090 design comes with a more tuned 2.5 slot design that was incorporated by the RTX 3070 too. The card features a 200W TGP and should be powered by an 8+6 pin connector configuration. It comes with a triple-fan configuration, RGB LEDs on both sides of the GPU shroud, and a triple HDMI and triple DisplayPort configuration. The AORUS Master will be the most expensive variant in Gigabyte's RTX 3060 Ti lineup and also feature the highest factory overclock of all models at 1800 MHz. In addition to the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti lineup, Videocardz has spotted that Skytech who is a retailer based in Lithuania, has listed several GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards. The prices are far better than the one we got to see earlier but still not hitting the MSRPs that would be finalized by NVIDIA for the European region at launch. The graphics card can be seen as low as 463.00€ that is several 100 Euros lower than what was listed earlier. The prices are as follows:A pricing histogram shows how the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Eagle was listed originally for around 680 Euros but has now dropped to a price of 466 Euros which is more in line with the final MSRP. The NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti is planned for launch on 2nd December and will be available in several custom variants at launch.

Windows 10 users getting to run Android apps on their desktop is a rumor which broke earlier this week, and now we’re hearing further details of how Microsoft’s purported plans could pan out. Keep your salt shaker handy as ever with nuggets from the rumor mill, but Zac Bowden from Windows Central is one of the more reliable Microsoft sources out there, and he’s spilled a lot more info on how Project Latte – the apparent name for Microsoft’s great Android app scheme – could work. How to speed up Windows 10 We solve 100 common Windows 10 problems How to uninstall a Windows 10 update So yes, we now have a codename, ‘Latte’, and the idea is to provide Android apps via the Microsoft Store, with developers delivering them in the form of an MSIX (a type of Windows app package). That should facilitate Android software coming across with very little in the way of code changes needed – hopefully – which is obviously crucial when it comes to how many developers might make the effort, and Latte will seemingly be powered by Windows Subsystem for Linux under the hood. There’s also the apparent prospect that all this could come to fruition next year, so we might not be waiting long for Project Latte to be available. In fact, there’s a possibility it could go live with the second major update for Windows 10 in 2021 (with a reveal earlier in the year, of course). One of the sticking points could be Google Play Services support, which Bowden reckons is unlikely to be implemented with Project Latte, meaning that some key apps might not be delivered. Or if they are, they may be stripped of any Play Services components (working against that smooth and easy delivery to the Microsoft Store goal, with little work needed, as mentioned above – or potentially causing other complications). There are still a number of question marks over what kind of Android apps might make it across to Windows 10, then, and even though this project is apparently underway at Microsoft now, obviously remember this is just a rumor. And perhaps more to the point, it may just be experimentation – Project Latte may not work out, and might never see the light of day on Windows 10. Much the same as the previous effort, Project Astoria (or Windows Bridge for Android). That initiative aimed to do the same thing some five years ago, but ended up being canned (as the company switched its focus to universal apps). Right now, you can stream Android apps to your Windows 10 desktop using the Your Phone app, but that’s not quite the same as natively running them, of course, and the big stumbling block with that feature is that it’s only available for certain Samsung smartphones.

Abergavenny -Hydrogen-powered car manufacturer Riversimple is hoping to steal a march on competitors ahead of Britain's promised "green revolution" that would see petrol-powered cars banned within 10 years. While conventional battery-powered electric cars may be a few miles ahead in the zero-emission vehicle race, the company is betting that nascent hydrogen technology will fuel the cars of the future. South Korea's Hyundai claims to be the current world leader, selling 5,000 units of its Nexo model in 2019, followed by the Toyota Mirai. Their sales are dwarfed by those of battery powered cars, of which there now around five million on the world's roads. Riversimple is only an ambitious upstart compared with the Asian automotive giants, but is currently the only British manufacturer in the sector with its flagship model, the Rasa. Founder Hugo Spowers is keen to take on the big boys with his self-designed model, whose name derives from the Latin 'tabula rasa', or clean slate. Starting from scratch will give him an advantage, he hopes, over manufacturing giants that are focussed on adapting petrol-driven models to run on hydrogen fuel. He also believes hydrogen has a clear advantage over electric batteries because it offers a much greater range. "A short-range car can be brilliant running on batteries, and we need them and there's a role for them," he said. "But if you want the sort of range to which we've become accustomed, of 300 miles (482 kilometres) or more, hydrogen is head and shoulders ahead in terms of the overall efficiency," he added. Rasa will begin advanced testing over the next few months, with paying customers including Monmouthshire District Council in south Wales, which has approved a hydrogen refuelling station in the town of Abergavenny. It is the only such site in the region, but recharging takes only a few minutes, compared with several hours for an electric battery. - Hire-purchase - The cars turn hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and water, offering the advantages of electric cars -- sharp acceleration, torque and quiet operation -- with no pollutants emitted. Their environmental footprint is still a problem however, with the hydrogen mainly sourced from CO2-emitting natural gas. As electricity is increasingly made from renewable sources, there is hope this could be used to create hydrogen from water via electrolysis. Another problem is the vehicle's cost. Riversimple is trying to resolve that via a hire-purchase scheme that includes maintenance and fuel costs. The vehicle would still belong to Riversimple, giving it a stake in sustainability. "You pay for it monthly by direct debit and everything's all under one umbrella, which I think is fantastic," Jane Pratt, a member of Monmouthshire County Council, told AFP. "This is a much more sustainable method of having a car," she added. Spowers said he expected the total outlay to be competitive with that of a Volkswagen Golf. "Even though the car costs us more to build, because of these long revenue streams, and because our operating costs will be lower," the cost should even out, said Spowers, who plans to launch the Rasa in three years. The company looks set to benefit from the British government's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, and specifically the goal announced a few days ago of a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030. British chemical giant Ineos and market leader Hyundai this week announced a partnership to develop hydrogen-fuelled vehicles and capitalise on the expected boom. Hyundai suggested it could supply its hydrogen fuel cell technology to equip the Ineos all-terrain model Grenadier.

It is never too late to start taking care of one's health and making lifestyle changes - such as eating healthier, exercising regularly and not smoking. Doing so can go a long way in preventing many diseases. The Straits Times looks at some tips on how to lead a healthier life, based on a discussion about the issue at a health webinar organised by The Straits Times on Wednesday. Q What is the best way to maintain joint health as we age, especially in the knees? A It would be ideal if people can avoid injury, especially when they are younger. When young people sustain sports injuries, for instance, it predisposes them to future joint problems. For those with joint pains, knee-strengthening exercises such as resistance and load-bearing exercises would offer a lot of help. One thing to look out for is weight. When people put on too much weight, they tend to exercise less, their muscles get weaker, and they start to experience joint degeneration. Keeping muscles strong is important. For instance, the kneecap is not connected to anything. It is the muscles that hold and stabilise the knee. Q Will exposing young children to long hours of screen time harm their vision? A There is quite a lot of evidence that near-work screen reading worsens myopia. But there are ways to mitigate this. One is to let children go out into the open where there is greenery. Some research at the National University of Singapore Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health has shown that spending sufficient time in sunlit green areas reduces the risk of myopia, especially in younger people. Another way is to get children to take frequent rests from reading. Every 20 minutes, they should look up for 20 seconds at something 20m away. Q Is it necessary to go for a full health check annually? What screenings are relevant for the different age groups? A Yes, it is a good practice, especially for older people. A narrow set of checks is recommended, such as for high blood pressure and diabetes, and it is good to watch one's weight. Generally, screening should be done for colorectal cancer and cervical cancer. For older people, it is also important to do functional testing, such as hearing and sight, because the impairment can take place slowly, without people realising it. This would create problems like social isolation due to the inability to participate in normal social activities. The inability to engage socially a

A new vaccine that protects against Covid-19 is nearly 95% effective, early data from US company Moderna shows. The results come hot on the heels of similar results from Pfizer, and add to growing confidence that vaccines can help end the pandemic. Both companies used a highly innovative and experimental approach to designing their vaccines. Moderna says it is a "great day" and they plan to apply for approval to use the vaccine in the next few weeks. However, this is still early data and key questions remain unanswered. How good is it? The trial involved 30,000 people in the US with half being given two doses of the vaccine, four weeks apart. The rest had dummy injections. The analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms. Only five of the Covid cases were in people given the vaccine, 90 were in those given the dummy treatment. The company says the vaccine is protecting 94.5% of people. The data also shows there were 11 cases of severe Covid in the trial, but none happened in people who were immunised. "The overall effectiveness has been remarkable... it's a great day," Tal Zaks, the chief medical officer at Moderna, told BBC News. Dr Stephen Hoge, the company's president, said he "grinned ear to ear for a minute" when the results came in. He told BBC News: "I don't think any of us really hoped that the vaccine would be 94% effective at preventing Covid-19 disease, that was really a stunning realisation." When will I get it? That depends on where you are in the world and how old you are. Moderna says it will apply to regulators in the US in the coming weeks. It expects to have 20 million doses available in the country. The company hopes to have up to one billion doses available for use around the world next year and is planning to seek approval in other countries too. The UK has today announced that, from spring, it will have five million doses of the Moderna vaccine, enough to vaccinate 2.5 million people. It has already outlined plans that prioritise the oldest people for immunisation. What don't we know? We still do not know how long immunity will last as volunteers will have to be followed for much longer before that can be answered. There are hints it offers some protection in older age groups, who are most at risk of dying from Covid, but there is not full data. Mr Zaks told the BBC their data so far suggests the vaccine "does not appear to lose its potency" with age. And it is not known whether the vaccine just stops people becoming severely ill, or if it stops them spreading the virus too. All these questions will affect how a coronavirus vaccine is used. Are there any side effects? No significant safety concerns have been reported, but nothing, including paracetamol, is 100% safe. Short lived fatigue, headache and pain were reported after the injection in some patients. "These effects are what we would expect with a vaccine that is working and inducing a good immune response," said Prof Peter Openshaw, from Imperial College London. How does this compare to the Pfizer vaccine? Both vaccines use the same approach of injecting part of the virus's genetic code in order to provoke an immune response. The preliminary data we have seen so far is very similar - around 90% protection for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and around 95% for Moderna's. However, both trials are still taking place and the final numbers could change. Moderna's vaccine appears to be easier to store as it remains stable at minus 20C for up to six months and can be kept in a standard fridge for up to a month. Pfizer's vaccine needs ultra-cold storage at around minus 75C, but it can be kept in the fridge for five days. The Sputnik V vaccine, developed in Russia, has also released very early data which suggests it is 92% effective. How does it work? Moderna has developed an "RNA vaccine" - it means part of the coronavirus's genetic code is injected into the body. This starts making viral proteins, but not the whole virus, which is enough to train the immune system to attack. It should train the body to make both antibodies - and another part of the immune system called T-cells to fight the coronavirus. When will Covid be over? In the space of a week, the positive results from Pfizer, Moderna and Russia have transformed our chances of ending the pandemic. Before the first results, the talk was of a vaccine that offered maybe 50% protection. Those expectations have been blown out of the water - not only are vaccines possible, they appear to be potent. The data so far also raise hopes that the other vaccines in development will be successful too, but now as one challenge draws to an ends, another begins. The logistical effort of actually vaccinating, potentially billions of people, around the world is gargantuan. Some experts have claimed normality by spring, others by next winter, others still think there is a long journey ahead. The answer will depend on how quickly countries can get this "hope in a vial" into the arms of people. What reaction has there been? "This news from Moderna is tremendously exciting and considerably boosts optimism that we will have a choice of good vaccines in the next few months," said Prof Peter Openshaw from Imperial College London. He added: "We need more complete details than we have in this press release, but this announcement adds to the general feeling of optimism." Prof Trudie Lang, from the University of Oxford, said: "It is very good news indeed to see another vaccine coming through with similar efficacy results as were reported last week from Pfizer. "This is also an interim analysis, which means that there were enough cases within the vaccinated volunteers to give statistical significance and allow the team to break the blind to determine who had the active vaccine and who had placebo." Dr Richard Hatchett, the head of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, said: "The Moderna results are as good as we could have hoped for and really terrifically encouraging."

Update (28th November, 2020): It's been over a week since this issue surfaced, and Ubisoft's forums are still filled with disgruntled fans unable to access the free PlayStation 5 upgrades promised for PlayStation 4 games, when using physical media in European territories. A quick look on the forum shows many people having the same issue, with Sony or Ubisoft yet to offer a consistent solution. We'll check in with the French publisher and see if it has an update to share. Update (23rd November, 2020): Ubisoft has told Eurogamer.net it’s investigating issues with PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 upgrades of its launch titles, which appear to be affecting European owners of physical Blu-ray discs. The French publisher did suggest a workaround, which you may have mixed success with. Basically, you need to insert the PS4 disc, select View Product, and then access the upgrade from there. It may work for you, though we’ve read that some people don’t see the View Product option at all. Your mileage may vary. Original Story (22nd November, 2020): If you own a PlayStation 4 copy of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Watch Dogs Legion that you’re hoping to upgrade on the PlayStation 5, you may be bang out of luck because neither title is working as intended right now. This issue only appears to apply to Blu-ray owners in select European countries, but it’s no less frustrating. So, as you may already know, both titles offer free PS4 to PS5 upgrades. While we can verify that PS Store purchases work as intended, Blu-ray owners are having trouble. What’s supposed to happen is that you insert the PS4 disc and then download the next-gen version. Instead, fans are being quoted a £59.99 fee. Obviously, this is an error, and Ubisoft has said it’s investigating. There is a workaround that involves creating a Turkish PlayStation Network account, but we wouldn’t recommend going to those kinds of lengths for an issue that will likely be solved within the next few days. It’s a disappointing mix-up, though, of that there’s no doubt – hopefully it’s all resolved soon.

Privacy advocates have panned a new productivity tool in Microsoft 365, warning that it could herald a new era of workplace surveillance. Launched earlier this month, the new Productivity Score tool allows employers to gather granular data about how their employees are using Microsoft's suite of services. The intention was to allow companies to break down how much time employees are spending using typical productivity apps like email, Microsoft Teams, and Word. Dismissing Microsoft’s good intentions, data privacy researcher Wolfie Christl believes it "turns Microsoft 365 into a full-fledged workplace surveillance tool." Check out our list of the best free office software Have a peek at our top choices for the best free word processor Have a look at our best spreadsheet software of 2020 Big Brother As per reports, the tool allows employers to drill down into data on individual employees. They can, for instance, find those who participate less in group chat conversations, send fewer emails, or fail to collaborate in shared documents.The tool then ranks each employee against their peers. Christl argues that this gives Microsoft “power to define highly arbitrary metrics that will potentially affect the daily lives of millions of employees and even shape how organizations function”. “Let me be clear: productivity score is not a work monitoring tool,” wrote Jared Spataro, the corporate vice-president for Microsoft 365 in a blog post. Dismissing the fears of privacy intrusions he added that employers have the option to anonymize the user information and even remove it completely. What irks privacy advocates however is that the function is enabled by default, and companies will have to manually opt out if they are concerned about the privacy of employees. Christl believes that “this normalizes extensive workplace surveillance in a way not seen before.” “Let me be clear: productivity score is not a work monitoring tool,” wrote Jared Spataro, the corporate vice-president for Microsoft 365 in a blog post.

Indian shares were flat on Friday, ahead of GDP data that is likely to show Asia's third-largest economy entered a recession in the September quarter in a coronavirus-induced slump. By Sachin Ravikumar BENGALURU: Indian shares were flat on Friday, ahead of GDP data that is likely to show Asia's third-largest economy entered a recession in the September quarter in a coronavirus-induced slump. A slight dip in IT services shares was countered by a 1.53% rise in automotive stocks before the release of monthly vehicle sales figures from Tuesday. Indian markets will be closed on Monday for a local holiday. India's economic activity likely picked up in July-September after a record 23.9% contraction the previous quarter, data due around 1200 GMT is expected to show. Economists in a Reuters poll forecast gross domestic product (GDP) to shrink 8.8%, a contraction that would still amount to a technical recession. "In spite of the impact of lockdowns, if negative growth starts to come down, that itself is positive," said A.K. Prabhakar, head of research at IDBI Capital in Mumbai. "If it goes beyond a 13% fall in GDP, it might have an impact on the markets. But if it's 9%, that is very good." The NSE Nifty 50 index was down 0.09% at 12,975.85 by 0500 GMT, while the S&P BSE Sensex was 0.18% lower at 44,178.89. Both indexes were on course to end the month about 11.5% higher - their second best monthly performance this year, after a 14.7% gain in April - powered by record inflows from foreign institutional investors and progress on COVID-19 vaccines. Tata Motors jumped 5.1% and Bajaj Auto rose 3.2%, leading the list of gainers on the Nifty 50. IT services firm Tata Consultancy Services fell 1.1% and was among the top drags on the index. Other Asian shares stalled near record highs as investors weighed renewed doubts about AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine against hopes that some of the region's economies will recovery quicker than their Western peers.

Dear Doctors: I’ve been working from home for six months, so no more bike commutes and no office staircases. My two young kids are home, too, which means I can’t do a lunchtime bike ride, or even go during a break. How bad is it that I’m sitting way more than ever? Dear Reader: We wish we had better news, but, yes, prolonged sitting is bad for your health. The long stretches of sitting required by so many modern jobs are putting people at risk of a number of adverse health effects. This includes weight gain, obesity, increases in abdominal fat, high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes. Taken together, these factors are associated with an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as early death. Add in the mental health side effects of prolonged inactivity, such as depression and anxiety, and it’s easy to see how the term “sitting disease” came about. It wasn’t all that long ago — historians point to the Industrial Revolution — that we humans began to sit down for extended periods. Prior to that, staying fed, clothed, housed, protected and entertained kept us moving. With more than 600 muscles in our bodies, it’s what we’re literally built to do. This includes walking, running, reaching, climbing, stretching, swimming, twisting, crawling, jumping, bending and lifting throughout long and mostly active days. And while disease, hunger and hardship took their toll in the agrarian world, it does seem that with increasingly sedentary work and play, we’ve now traded one set of health problems for another. Today, only two out of every 10 workers have active jobs, a decrease of about 80% since 1950. Between desk work, passive transportation and the increasingly sedentary nature of entertainment and play, many people stay seated for at least 10 hours each day. That’s the number research associates with a marked increase in cardiac risk. All of which means that, even during the pandemic that’s robbed us of our normal lives, we need to get creative and get moving. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much. A study that tracked the mortality rate of 8,000 adults aged 45 and older for four years found that trading 30 seated minutes for the same amount of moderate or vigorous activity lowered the risk of early death by 35%. This joins previous research that pegged duration of sitting — an hour or more at a stretch — as a risk factor. People who sat for 30 minutes or less at a time had the best outcomes. So do your heart, lungs and metabolism a favor and work regular movement into your day. Set a timer to walk a few minutes every half-hour. Get some hand weights and lift throughout the day. Get your kids involved, too: Run and jump and stretch, chase each other around the house, have parades, enjoy moments of planned chaos, take walks together, do yoga, practice deep breathing, ride bikes. Make it a goal to work movement into your family’s daily life, and your body and your kids (and your family doctor) will thank you.

BOISE (Idaho Ed News) – Gov. Brad Little said he is not preparing for new lockdowns as the coronavirus continues to spread through Idaho. “I don’t foresee a shutdown coming,” Little said Tuesday, during a telephone town hall meeting coordinated by AARP Idaho. Little also used the call to repeat assurances that controlled environments — where people wear masks and maintain distances of six feet — are safer than uncontrolled environments. “We do know that whether it is in a classroom or a restaurant and people are spaced out, the risk of transmission is much, much lower,” Little said. As part of his efforts to encourage in-person learning, Little has regularly said schools are safe and not contributing to transmission. Last week, Idaho Education News asked Little’s office for the science and data that shows schools are not a source of transmission. Little’s press secretary said Department of Health and Welfare officials are working on providing some of the data. Tuesday’s telephone town hall was the 26th Little has conducted since March 13, when he announced Idaho’s first confirmed case of COVID-19. It was also Little’s only public appearance of the week. His calendar does not include any other upcoming public events during this holiday week. Multiple callers asked Little why he hasn’t ordered a statewide mask mandate or closed bars and ordered restaurants to operate using only delivery or takeout. “We’re trying to stop the spread, we’re not trying to put anybody out of business,” Little said. Little again said he has fallen short in messaging on the importance of taking precautions and modifying behavior to slow the spread of the virus. He said he would soon be coming out with strong messages, some targeted specifically to young people. “I don’t have to have everybody doing the right thing but it sure help if I’d get 80 or 90 percent.” Although Little fielded tough questions, there were moments of optimism. In honor of Thanksgiving he expressed gratitude to health care workers and said the first, limited shipments of a vaccine could reach Idaho within about 30 days.

In Berlin hat ein mit politischen Botschaften versehenes Auto das Tor des Kanzleramts angefahren. Dabei entstand geringer Sachschaden. Bei dem Fahrer handelt es sich nach ARD-Informationen um einen verwirrten Mann. In Berlin ist ein Fahrzeug in das Tor des Bundeskanzleramts gefahren. Das teilte die Polizei mit. Unklar sei noch das Motiv des Fahrers, man ermittle in "alle Richtungen". Nach Informationen der ARD handelt es sich bei dem Fahrer um einen geistig verwirrten Mann. Sprengstoff oder Waffen seien nicht gefunden worden. Dasselbe Auto wurde bereits im Februar 2014 vor das Kanzleramt gesteuert. Polizei und Feuerwehr waren vor Ort. Die Polizei teilte via Twitter mit, der Fahrer sei in Gewahrsam genommen worden. "Ob es sich um einen psychischen Zustand oder eine andere Motivation handelt, wird aktuell geklärt", sagte Polizeisprecher Thilo Cablitz. Es könne auch nur spekuliert werden, "ob es sich um einen symbolischen Akt handelte oder Aufmerksamkeit erregt werden sollte". Nach Angaben der Polizei wurde der Fahrer bei der Aktion leicht verletzt und musste ambulant behandelt werden. Weitere Personen kamen offenbar nicht zu Schaden. Das Auto könne auch nicht sehr schnell gewesen sein - Fahrzeug und Tor seien nur leicht beschädigt, sagte ARD-Korrespondent Martin Schmidt bei tagesschau24. Soweit er sehen könne, habe der Fahrer gar nicht die Absicht gehabt, das Tor zu durchbrechen, sondern vermutlich eher eine symbolische Botschaft senden wollen. Auto mit Schriftzügen versehen Dem Kennzeichen zufolge ist das Auto im Landkreis Lippe in Nordrhein-Westfalen zugelassen. Auf den Seiten des Fahrzeugs waren Aufschriften mit weißer Farbe zu sehen.

All adults should do a minimum of 150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week, even more vital for well-being and mental health in the Covid-19 era, the World Health Organization said in its first guidance in a decade. It recommended that children and adolescents have an average of one hour of daily physical exercise and limit time in front of electronic screens. And people of all ages must compensate for growing sedentary behaviour with physical activity to ward off disease and add years to their lives, the WHO said, launching its “Every Move Counts” campaign. “These guidelines emphasise what many are experiencing during the Covid restrictions that are applied all over the world. And that is that being active every day is good not only our bodies but also our mental health,” said Fiona Bull, head of WHO’s physical activity unit. “Phone a friend and do classes online together, help your family members, do it as a family. And when you can, get outside,” she said. Pregnant women and postpartum mothers are now included in the recommendations of 150 to 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity per week for adults. This brings health benefits for both the mother and baby, according to Juana Willumsen, a WHO technical officer. “For example there is a 30% reduction in gestational diabetes amongst women who are physically active during pregnancy,” she said. Adults above 65 are advised to add muscle strengthening and activities focusing on balance and coordination to help prevent falls later.

Developers familiar with Rust could soon be working at AWS as Amazon's cloud computing arm has announced its plans to hire more people familiar with the programming language. The increasingly po[CENSORED]r programming language started out as a personal project of Mozilla employee Graydon Hoare and the company went on to sponsor its development in 2009 before officially announcing Rust the following year. Despite only hitting version 1.0 in 2015, Rust has held the top spot in the most loved languages category of Stack Overflow's Developer Survey for the past five years. It is considered to be one of the safest programming languages which is why Mozilla began including Rust in its browser beginning with Firefox 48 back in 2016. We've put assembled a list of the best laptops for programming These are the best cloud computing services for digital transformation Also check out our roundup of the best online courses However, Mozilla isn't alone when it comes to supporting Rust as Microsoft is also currently looking into ways to use the programming language to reduce memory-related vulnerabilities in Windows components written in C and C++. Investing in Rust developers Just last year, AWS became a sponsor of Rust and the company's developers have already made code contributions to the programming language as well as to a runtime for writing asynchronous applications with Rust called Tokio. According to principal engineer at AWS Carl Lerche, “Rust and Tokio give AWS the ability to write services that respond fast, reliably and that help us offer a better customer experience”. As open source communities like Rust are driven by the people behind them, the company has begun hiring Rust and Tokio committers in order to ensure that they have the time and resources necessary to further improve the programming language. This led AWS to build a team around Tokio which also continues to work side-by-side with developers from Dropbox, Confluent, Buoyant and other companies. Senior software engineering manager at AWS Shane Miller provided further details on the company's plans to hire more Rust developers in a press release, saying: “We’re not just hiring a couple of folks for Tokio and the Rust compiler. Rust is a critical component of our long-term strategy, and we’re investing to deliver Rust engineering at Amazon scale. That includes developer tools, infrastructure components, interoperability, and verification.” Developers interested in joining the AWS' Rust/Tokio team can check here to see all of the company's open positions.
