MSI has announced its next-generation Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 Gaming X Trio custom graphics cards. The Gaming X Trio series is based on the Tri Frozr 2 cooling system which has superb cooling performance for all high-end GPUs that this generation has to offer including AMD's-mighty Big Navi. MSI Makes Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 Gaming X Trio Custom Graphics Cards Official The MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 Gaming X Trio graphics cards come in the standard 'Non-X' and factory overclocked 'X' series. The standard variants stick to the reference clock speeds that AMD has specified while the factory overclocked variants run with faster-overclocked speeds.The Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X Trio for instance runs at 2285 MHz boost clocks which is a 35 MHz higher clock than the reference variant while the RX 6800 Gaming X Trio runs at a boost clock of 2155 MHz which is a 50 MHz clock bump over the reference boost clock. MSI Radeon RX 6800 Gaming X Trio Graphics Card:The MSI Gaming X Trio Radeon RX 6800 Series Graphics Cards With 2nd Tri-Frozr Cooling With the differences out of the way, now let's talk about the similarities and the main highlights of the Gaming X Trio design. The Gaming X Trio is a toned-down variant of the much higher-end card, the MSI Lightning. Both cards use advanced Tri-Frozr coolers which are the replacement of the MSI Twin Frozr series which have been widely used in current and last generation graphics cards from MSI. The latest iteration of MSI’s iconic GAMING series once again brings performance, low-noise efficiency, and aesthetics that hardcore gamers have come to recognize and trust. Now you too can enjoy all your favorite games with a powerful graphics card that stays cool and silent. Just the way you like it. MSI has incorporated and refined a couple of things in the new Tri-Frozr design for Gaming X Trio graphics cards. First is the TORX fan 4.0 which uses a ring design that connects two fan-blades with each other to increase airflow towards the internal heatsink assembly. These fans are made up of a double ball bearing design which ensures silent functionality in heavy loads.The fans are fully compliant with the Zero Frozr Technology and are actually comprised of three areas. All of these would stay at 0 RPM (idle state) if the temperatures don't exceed 60C. When it does exceed 60C, all fans would start spinning. You can change that through the MSI configuration panel if you want more cooling performance over noise load but it's a nifty feature that I do like.In addition to the cooling fans, the heatsink has been designed to be denser by using the brand new wave curved 2.0 fin design. The new heatsink makes use of deflectors to allow more air to pass through the fins smoothly, without causing any turbulence that would result in unwanted noise. MSI estimates a 2 degrees (C) drop in temperatures with the updated design versus the previous generation cooling system.Talking about the heatsink, the massive block is comprised of seven copper squared shaped heat pipes with a more concentrated design to transfer heat from the copper base to the heatsink more effectively. The base itself is a solid nickel-plated base plate, transferring heat to the heat pipes in a very effective manner. To top it all off, MSI uses their exclusive Thermal Compound X which is said to offer higher thermal interface and heat transfer compared to traditional TIM applications.MSI has given no word on the prices of the Radeon RX 6800 XT & RX 6800 Gaming X Trio custom graphics cards but we expect to hear more in the coming weeks.

EA Sports has finally detailed Madden NFL 21 for the PlayStation 5, and its headline feature is the integration of NFL Next-Gen Stats. You may have heard about this while watching NFL broadcasts for the past five seasons. For those of you who don’t know, there’s a lot more going on with each player’s padding than protection from Aaron Donald – there’s also an RFID chip under every jersey. To cut a very complicated technical innovation story short, they track each athlete’s movements on every play, helping to inform performance and create uber-detailed analytics. And now that data is being put into the next-gen version of EA Sports’ flagship football game. The idea is that each player should perform more true-to-life, as it’s no longer relying solely on artificial intelligence and random statistics; Michael Thomas’ ability to create separation or Khalil Mack’s devastating assaults on the quarterback will now be informed using real-world stats. Every player will perform like his real-life counterpart. “[Ball carriers’] acceleration rates, speeds, and turn rates are now driven by next-gen stats data, with all-new animations,” Connor Dougan told Polygon. “You can see [in the PS4 version] the way Tyreek Hill inhumanly changes direction and swivels, with no lean or momentum, as he runs. [On the new consoles] there’s proper lean and momentum as he turns upfield.” This means that the game, overall, is much slower – but crucially more realistic. That can come with advantages: you’ll now have time to pick your spot and hit a hole, where previous versions of the series didn’t afford you that kind of precision. And if you’re playing as an elite running back like Nick Chubb or Christian McCaffrey, you’re going to feel the difference on the field when you hit the gas. Other improvements coming with the PS5 game include the ability to bookmark plays, and filter by player. For example, if you want to get your star receiver the ball, then you’ll be able to select from plays specifically designed for him. And of course, it’s all going to look better, with improved lighting and more detailed sideline activity – including the ability to bundle into photographers and referees. Sounds good, then – we’ll have a review next month.

For others, however, switching to the new Android Auto experience was quite a nightmare, as key functionality ended up being broken down. Several Audi owners turned to Google’s forums in 2019 to report input issues on the new Android Auto version, explaining that launching Google Assistant or interacting with other features using a control knob no longer worked correctly. “I have a 2018 Audi A5 Sportback. The infotainment system in this car (MMI) is navigated via a control knob on the console, not touch screen. On the original version of Android Auto, clicking the control knob to the right will activate Google Assistant listening for voice commands. On the new version, this function does not work,” one user posted in August 2019. While several Audi drivers confirmed the same problems in their cars since then, Google has so far remained tight-lipped on a potential fix. And strangely enough, a member of the Android Auto team responded this week, more than 12 months after the original post was published, explaining that they’re now working on fixing the one-year-old “new” Android Auto in Audi cars too. “Thanks for all the reports. Our team is working to resolve this issue. We’ve reached out to a few of you via e-mail with the instructions on how to capture a bug report. It would be great if you could send us a bug report from your phone to diagnose the root cause of the issue. Please reply directly to the email with your information,” the Android Auto Community Specialist posted. Needless to say, you’d better not hold your breath for a fix because there’s absolutely no ETA available right now. The work on resolving the whole thing has only recently started, and now Google is waiting for additional feedback from Audi owners, so if you want to step in and help the company address it faster, check out the thread linked above where you can contribute with your own logs.

Personally Speaking is a feature of Muhlenberg Magazine in which our writers interview students and alumni about their own personal stories. This article was originally published in the Fall 2020 issue of Muhlenberg Magazine. He sees his fields of study as inevitably interconnected. “Every environmental science class and economics class I’ve taken, they talk about each other. The only way that you’re going to convince people to move to more sustainable sources of energy is money. With a lot of problematic companies, their infrastructure is so strongly built on nonrenewable resources like fossil fuels, and it costs too much to transition. When we’re looking at solutions in my classes, we’re saying, ‘What is a sustainable yet cost-effective way to mitigate these problems?’” He became president of the nonpartisan BergVotes club his sophomore year... “My father is involved in politics in my hometown, so I’ve grown up understanding the importance of voting. During orientation, all the students were walking out of the Center for the Arts to cross Chew Street, and there was somebody in a BergVotes T-shirt handing out forms and yelling, ‘Register to vote!’ A week later, BergVotes was dorm-storming in Walz Hall, and I said I wanted to get involved. After two or three months of going to club meetings, I ran for and became secretary. The entire rest of the executive board went abroad this spring, so I decided, ‘Might as well run for president.’” ...and he’s led the group through an election year like no other. “In February, the e-board and a couple professors attended the inaugural Eastern Pennsylvania Student Voting Summit in Philadelphia. We drafted a strategic action plan for how we were going to increase voting on campus and make sure all the first-year students got registered. We practically had to throw out the whole plan. This fall became more of a semester designed to make sure that everybody was registered to vote in whichever way was most convenient to them in their situation.” (Learn more.) He’s part of the Muhlenberg Scholars honors program... “The Office of Admissions selects a group of students, between 10 to 20 per class year, from all different majors and backgrounds, to be part of this honors program. You’re put in a first-year seminar with the other new Scholars, and the group takes one course together each year. As our mission statement says, we’re really about people from all different areas of knowledge working together. Two people I’m living with are also Muhlenberg Scholars, so I can thank the program for bringing me some of my best college friends.” ...and he was able to turn current events into a compelling research project. “Last year, our required course was on fairness. When COVID hit, it made for a strong final paper. I worked with my roommates and fellow Scholars, and we focused on the topic of the fairness in distribution of waivers to allow businesses to stay open as essential businesses in Pennsylvania. There were cases where there would be two car dealerships on either side of the street, and one was allowed to be open while the other had to close. We wrote a lot about contractors and construction: Construction of medical facilities was allowed to continue, but in one case, it was a giant medical building that wasn’t going to be finished until 2023. That crew was deemed essential. Meanwhile, an independent contractor working to finish residences for students to occupy at the end of summer was not allowed to continue. He was like, ‘That project is higher risk because there are more people working there. With this one, it’s just me.’ We found there was a lot of inconsistency.” He and his fellow Scholars are working to create a more unified, supportive program. “Before the pandemic hit, we were trying to make the program like more of a family for all four classes of Scholars on campus. We hosted a fall meet and greet last year where we had apple cider and invited all the new Scholars. The week we left campus in the spring, we were supposed to have an event with the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. We want people to be friendly and brainstorm together, because that’s when the best ideas come, and that’s what the Scholars are all about. If you’re a first-year student and you meet a junior at the fall meetup who’s taken a 400-level psych class, and you have a question about your intro class, you should be able to ask. We want the Scholars to help the Scholars.”

i will for DH1 i liked it & nice music ❤️

Video conferencing tool Zoom has announced the release of two new security features to help participants remove meeting intruders, as well as revealing one of its most important internal security tools. Unfortunately, for some individuals, the answer to the question, What is Zoom? is that it is a method of disrupting company meetings. The new security features should limit opportunities for so-called "Zoombombing" attacks in the future. The first lets hosts temporarily pause their meeting and remove disruptive participants. By clicking “Suspend Participant Activities,” all meeting features will cease, including screen sharing, recording and Breakout Rooms. It is then simply a case of reporting the relevant users, who will then be removed from the meeting. Zoom’s Trust and Safety team will also be informed. The meeting can then be resumed with all the relevant features re-enabled. Alternatively, meeting participants are now able to report disruptive users directly from the Zoom client by clicking the security badge located in the top-left corner. Check out our complete list of the best video conferencing software We've put together a list of the best online collaboration tools around Look great in your video calls with one of the best business webcams Bombs away In addition, Zoom also disclosed more information about an internal tool it uses that will hopefully prevent meetings from being disrupted in the first place. The At-Risk Meeting Notifier scans social media posts and other public online activity to find shared Zoom meeting links. If a link is found, the host will receive an email immediately informing them that they may want to create a new meeting ID, enable security settings or use a different video conferencing platform. The decision is ultimately left up to the meeting host, but a publicly accessible meeting ID is likely to attract an online disruptor or two. Since the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a huge uptick in the use of video conferencing tools, online trolls have decided that it would be funny to hijack meetings – often being secretly invited by participants that have shared the private meeting ID. Zoom’s new security tools should make that more of a challenge. This is all the gear you'll need to work from home successfully

Intel has released new performance numbers of its next-generation Ice Lake-SP Xeon Platinum CPUs, comparing it against AMD's 2nd Generation EPYC Rome CPUs. According to Intel, Ice Lake Xeon CPUs with their updated core architecture will deliver an 18% IPC jump over previous-gen Cascade Lake Xeon CPUs, allowing them to be competitive against AMD's high-core count CPU offerings.Intel Teases 32 Core Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPU Beating A 64 Core AMD EPYC Rome CPU But There's A Catch Within the SC20 presentation, Intel reassured its partners and customers that Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPUs (3rd Gen Scalable Processor Family) is on track for volume ramp in Q1 2021 followed by a formal launch sometime around mid-2021. The Intel Ice Lake-SP generation of Xeon CPUs will be utilizing a 10nm process node along with a brand new microarchitecture and a new platform to support increased memory bandwidth.We know that Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPUs will be using the Sunny Cove core architecture which offers an 18% IPC uplift over Skylake so based on that, Intel claims that it is looking to deliver better perf per core, more memory channels for increased bandwidth, full PCIe Gen 4.0 support and up to 6 TB of memory support per socket (Intel Optane PMem).As for the performance benchmarks versus AMD's 64 Core EPYC 7742 CPU, Intel claims that its 32 core Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPU can deliver up to 30% faster performance in key life sciences and FSI workloads. The performance was measured within NAMD STMV, Monet Carlo, and LAMMPS. The Intel Xeon Ice Lake-SP CPU was configured with 32 cores and 64 cores per socket. The actual run used two Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPUs for a total of 64 cores and 128 threads versus two AMD EPYC 7742 Rome CPUs with a total of 128 cores and 256 threads. The Intel platform was running at clocks of 2.2 GHz and had a total of 256 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz memory while the AMD EPYC platform was also configured at its stock speeds of 2.25 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz memory. So one would say that this is a pretty fair benchmark comparison but those 20-30% performance uplifts over the AMD EPYC Rome 64 Core CPU is mainly derived by comparing AVX512 to non AVX512 numbers. All three workloads that are reported here make use of Intel's AVX-512 instructions which grants them a big gain. To be fair, Intel does pretty well with AVX-512 workloads, beating a chip with twice the amount of cores and on a better process node & architecture. But in terms of overall efficiency and standard performance, AMD's EPYC lineup will dominate Intel in every benchmark. The fact that they are showing a 32 core chip against a 64 core chip and had to turn AVX-512 to match it up shows how far behind Intel has fallen in the server race and things are going to get more heated in a few months when AMD will be unveiling its 3rd Gen EPYC lineup, the Milan series which is scheduled for Q1 2021 as we learned yesterday. Intel Ice Lake-SP 'Next-Gen CPU' 28 Core Die & Whitley Platform Detailed Looking at the block diagram of the Ice Lake-SP 28 core CPU, the chip offers a new interconnect in the form of an enhanced Mesh Fabric that runs through all of the 28 CPU cores. The Ice Lake-SP die features two 4-channel memory controllers whereas the Cascade Lake-SP die offered two tri-channel memory controllers.The Intel Ice Lake-SP processors also feature four PCIe Gen 4 controllers, each offers 16 Gen 4 lanes for a total of 64 lanes on the 28 core die. The Cascade Lake-SP chips offered hexa-channel memory support while Ice Lake-SP will offer octa-channel memory support on the Whitley platform at launch. The platform will be able to support up to DDR4-3200 MHz memory (16 DIMM per socket with 2nd Gen persistent memory support.Intel is also adding a range of latency and coherence optimizations to Ice Lake-SP chips. But you can see that the memory bandwidth-latency gets a big jump with the 8-channel memory interface and the higher DIMM speeds. Intel Ice Lake-SP 'Next-Gen CPU' New Interconnect Infrastructure In addition to the standard Mesh interconnect, Intel has further expanded its interconnect design for Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPUs. The new control fabric and data fabric do connect with the cores and different controllers of the chip but also manage the data flower and power control for the chips themselves. These new interconnects will deliver even lower latency and faster clock updates than 3rd Gen Cooper Lake-SP chips. For example, the core frequency transition takes 12us and the mesh frequency transition takes 20us on Cascade Lake-SP chips. Ice Lake-SP in comparison takes less than 1us and 7us, respectively. The less frequency drain means higher efficiency over Cascade Lake. Ice Lake-SP will also improve upon the AVX frequency since not all AVX-512 workloads consume higher power. This also isn't specific to just AVX-512. Even AVX-256 instructions on Ice Lake-SP will deliver better frequencies profile over Cascade Lake CPUs. Some of the major upgrades that 10nm will deliver include: 2.7x density scaling vs 14nm Self-aligned Quad-Patterning Contact Over Active Gate Cobalt Interconnect (M0, M1) 1st Gen Foveros 3D Stacking 2nd Gen EMIB The Intel Ice Lake-SP lineup would be directly competing against AMD's enhanced 7nm based EPYC Milan lineup which will feature the brand new 7nm Zen 3 core architecture which offers a huge 19 percent uplift in IPC over the original Zen core.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has proved a hit with players, as the series secured its largest launch in series history. That means it outpaced previous record holder Assassin’s Creed III, which sold around 3.5 million units during its first week. Here’s the PR for precise wording: “Building on favourable review scores and early player response, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has sold through more units in its first week than any other Assassin’s Creed game sold during the same period.” It’s a particularly impressive result when you consider that it’s a flagship PlayStation 5 launch title, which isn’t out in Europe yet. However, it does feature a free PS4 to PS5 upgrade, which may have swayed consumers to purchase the game last week. Now for some statistics: “Players are already well into their adventure in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, covering more than 4 million kilometres, building their settlements (over 55 million buildings already unlocked since launch), and becoming fully immersed in the Norse and Saxon culture through the Orlog dice games (over 3.5 million games of Orlog have been won so far) or even enjoying the drinking and flyting contests (over 1.8 million players have won at least one drinking game since launch).” We liked the game a lot in our Assassin's Creed Valhalla review, but felt it was a bit buggy on the PlayStation 4. We’ll be revisiting the title later this week on PS5, so look out for that.

Detailing cars has been a nice side hustle for Spencer Maeschen over the past year. But now, that side hustle has bloomed into a full-fledged business. After detailing out of his family’s garage for the past few months, where he built a clientele and furthered his skills, Maeschen, 22, felt the time was right to open one of his own. In late August, Maeschen opened his detailing business called Maeschen Auto Detailing (MAD) Garage, located at 505 S. Burr St. in Mitchell. “Before I opened, I started having more and more interior jobs lined up. I was cranking out four to five interior jobs a day by myself, so the business was there to open my own,” Maeschen said. “I was just trying to get my name out there and form a base, because there are some great detailing shops in town. It’s nice that we all get along.” Having saved enough money from detailing at his home, Maeschen found the right location and made his first monthly rent payment, followed by purchasing a $1,300 pressure washer. Since then, he’s been gradually adding more equipment to do the type of thorough detailing work he prefers. Although Maeschen is about three months into running his detailing business, it wasn’t exactly part of the plan at this stage of his life. After Maeschen’s plan to complete an internship this summer at an agriculture equipment implement in Sioux Falls fell through, he went back to the drawing board. Little did he know the change of plans would lead him to pursue something he's been dreaming about doing for the past year: opening a detailing business. “Because one opportunity didn’t happen, I see it as I am blessed to have had another one open up,” he said. Before making the decision to open his business, Maeschen knew he was taking on a big risk. Opening the shop in the midst of a pandemic added even more risk. However, Maeschen said it presented him with a unique opportunity. After the stimulus checks that were distributed across the country for citizens below an income threshold, Maeschen said it equated to more customers getting their vehicles detailed. “It is definitely a challenge opening a business, but I love the challenge,” Maeschen said. "It was interesting to see how people used some of their extra money from the stimulus check to get their cars detailed. I think it showed more people want to take care of what they already own instead of buying new." Raised around cars Throughout much of his life, Maeschen was raised around the automobile. After all, his father, Rob Maeschen, was the owner of Tri M Tunes in Mitchell for several decades until he sold it a few years ago. Seeing his father build a successful car stereo and window tinting business over the years inspired Maeschen to pursue his dream of opening a specialized shop of his own. “I always remember being a little kid hanging out in the shop, and having my own shop now brings back some great memories,” Maeschen said. “My dad was a big reason why I made the decision to go after this.” When he wasn't hanging out at his dad's shop, Maeschen was working on the family farm. His farming background led Maeschen to pursue a degree in precision agriculture technology at Mitchell Technical College, which he's a year away from finishing. Although he plans on putting his degree to good use on his family's farm, Maeschen said he's switched more of his focus to his detailing business. With the early on success he's experienced, the entrepreneur has big aspirations for his detailing shop, hoping to one day expand to locations in Brookings and Sioux Falls. While he’s been enjoying learning the ropes of running a small business, Maeschen said his passion for detailing is what motivates him everyday. The tedious process of detailing a vehicle is one that Maeschen finds "very rewarding." “It isn’t fun having to pull melted crayons out of the carpet and being full of dog hair, but the end result is so worth every bit of the challenges,” he said. “My passion for detailing is more important than the money, and I believe that will drive me to grow the business to its full potential.”

SEATTLE — When James Abbott pulls at the threads of his childhood memories, he describes one in particular like a scene from a movie. "A car comes up, you are told to get in the car, and the car drives away. The last picture you have is your mom on the porch crying." That was the moment when Abbott, who is now 60, left his family and entered foster care. Abbott, who grew up in Snohomish County, Washington, spent most of his high school years with a foster-care family. He was a computer geek in the 1980s, spent his career as a certified public accountant in the 1990s and has worked for Microsoft since 2001. Now, he's giving back to the high school he says changed his life with a $42,500 donation to the Mukilteo Schools Foundation, the majority of which went to Mariner High School, in Everett, Washington. Microsoft added to his gift with an additional $38,000. Most of the funds will help pay for low-income high schoolers to take college classes for credit; the remainder will go to the district's foundation and ACES High, an alternative high school. "I wanted to pay back Mariner for the opportunity they gave me," he said. "And I wanted to help foster kids, like I was." The donation is the largest Mariner has seen in many years, said principal Nate DuChesne. It will benefit students with backgrounds similar to Abbott's. About 12 foster students attend the school and 65-70% of the student body is low-income. Only about 20% of foster youth who graduate from high school go on to college, compared with about 60% of high school graduates overall, according to a report by the Pew Charitable Trust. And foster youth who do go to college are much more likely to drop out, the report says. Abbott's donation will pay students' fees for College in the High School classes – 5-credit college courses taught by Mariner teachers in a range of subjects that would otherwise cost $220 apiece. Some students qualify for a limited number of tuition waivers through the state, so Abbott's gift will help cover their remaining fees, DuChesne said. Overall, he said, the donation will pay for fees for students to take 100 courses each year for the next three years. "This is significant in my eyes because many of these students, if there are barriers in the way while they're in high school, sometimes it becomes more difficult to go to college," he said. "This is opening doors for them at an earlier age." Overcoming challenges Abbott's mother is Japanese and his father is American. He was born on a military base in Japan, and was 10 when his father retired from the Navy and the family settled in Washington. His father struggled with alcoholism and often could not pay the rent, Abbott said. They moved around when landlords kicked them out. During his freshman year at Snohomish High School, he made friends easily and became a strong tennis player. But when his dad landed a job on a ship that took him far from home, Abbott's mother began to struggle emotionally. The family's home was run down, and Abbott, the eldest of six children, remembers the kids cooking their own meals. He still holds onto guilt for his own behavior at that time, he said. "I kind of have to take some responsibility for my childhood," he said. "It just wasn't my parents. We were not the best of kids." Early in his sophomore year, a family friend called child welfare workers, and soon after a representative showed up on his doorstep. "I just got in the car and away we went," he said. "At the time, it didn't seem painful. But now, it's quite painful." A foster family in Everett took him and one of his brothers in, and he enrolled at Mariner. He was the new kid – but he kept up with tennis and made friends. He hung out with a crew of kids who liked academics and influenced him to keep his grades up. He also became close with several teachers. "He became a 24-hour student," said Abbott's former teacher, Gordon Rosier, who taught at Mariner for 29 years and has stayed in touch with Abbott. Then came the student government election, "And I said, 'James, the kids really like you. You're a good role model and you're a good politician. Why don't you run to be president of the high school?' He did and he won." After high school graduation in 1978, Abbott enrolled, then quickly dropped out, of Washington State University. At Boeing from 1979-1981, he worked a graveyard shift building specialized airplane tools while taking math and other courses at Everett Community College during the day. When he was laid off from Boeing, he soon found other opportunities: After seeing the 1983 science fiction thriller "WarGames," he bought a $3,000 Apple computer system and learned low-level hacking techniques. He was savvy enough that a pizza joint he worked for asked him to computerize their billing system. He finished a degree at Everett, then studied accounting at Central Washington University. He later became a partner at an accounting firm. He's since worked in various departments at Microsoft, and now lives in Port St. Lucie, Fla., close to his mother. He's reconnected with his siblings, he said, and also made amends with his father, who passed away in 1998. Aiming to inspire Abbott said he decided to donate to his high school in hopes that other alumni will do the same. He also hopes current students, especially those who've faced serious struggles in their young lives, might be inspired by the hardships he's overcome. "You have a more difficult life and more challenges. But more often than not, you can survive it. You can climb out of that hole."

The American biotech company Moderna announced Monday that its experimental COVID-19 vaccine is 94.5% effective in preventing illness following exposure to the virus that causes the disease. The announcement comes exactly a week after the companies Pfizer and BioNTech revealed their vaccine is more than 90% effective, meaning two independently developed vaccines are getting closer to distribution. In the coming weeks, both companies are expected to ask the FDA to authorize their vaccines for emergency use and they hope to start distributing the first doses by the end of the year. Dr. Moncef Slaoui, chief scientific adviser for Operation Warp Speed and former Moderna board member, says he's "ecstatic" about the news. He says the announcement exceeded his expectations for efficacy and will be key to ending the pandemic. "If enough of us get vaccinated, there is a good chance that we keep this virus at very, very low levels, which means we can go back to normal life — fully normal life," Slaoui says. Slaoui spoke with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly today on All Things Considered. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. What is your reaction to today's news, 94.5% effective in preventing COVID, sounds pretty great? Well, frankly, I would say ecstatic. And what's really great is that the data are highly similar to those that Pfizer announced last week. These are two vaccines that are totally independently developed. They are using similar technology and independently tested in large phase three trials. And to come with such similar data, I think gives great confidence that this data is real, that these vaccines are highly, highly effective and efficacious, and their safety profile is the best that we have been able to see up to now — very satisfactory. You said you were ecstatic. It also sounds like you're a little surprised that these numbers have come in quite so good? I was expecting the vaccines to be 80 to 90 percent efficacious. And I remember that many people questioned that. I'm glad they are 90 percent or 95 percent efficacious. This is what the world needs to control this pandemic. And it also means, and suggests, that the other vaccines that we have in our portfolio — and vaccines that others are working on — are very likely to be very effective. This is apparently a virus that is particularly susceptible to a good immune response, and that's good news for the world. Lay out briefly for us what you see as the key differences between these vaccines. One that immediately leaps out is the Moderna vaccine has to be kept cold, but not nearly as cold as the Pfizer one, which might make it a little easier to distribute. Yes, I would say the biggest difference here is indeed around the cold chain. The Pfizer vaccine requires a minus 80 degrees Celsius temperature for its storage. On the other hand, the Moderna vaccine also requires significant cold, but not as cold — minus 20 Celsius — which is more common. Most of the freezers that people have in their homes are minus 20. And the Moderna vaccine can actually be stable and capped at 2 to 8 degrees [Celsius], which is a fridge temperature, for up to a month. That is really a big plus in terms of being able to immunize individuals, for instance, that come to CVS or Walgreens and ask to be immunized. We should stress these are preliminary results — more trials are going to be needed and they haven't been peer reviewed in scientific journals. But, the people who took the Moderna vaccine and did get sick, didn't get that sick. They did not have severe cases of COVID-19. Does that suggest to you that even if it can't keep everyone from getting sick, that it might reduce the severity of illness? That is very important and very exciting. And, frankly, it's not uncommon with vaccines. You know, there have been 11 cases of severe disease in the trial and all of them were in the placebo group, not in the vaccine group, suggesting that this vaccine is highly effective against severe disease, and also highly effective against any disease, whether it's mild or moderate. So that's excellent news. We expect to see more of such information on the Pfizer vaccine. We haven't seen it yet. I can tell you, because we have much closer collaboration with the Moderna program, there are also many cases in individuals over the age of 65 — and again, efficacy is excellent there. Likewise, there are people from diverse ethnic origins — Latinos, African Americans, Asians — across the line, the same trend on efficacy, without statistical power because there is a smaller number there. I expect the Pfizer vaccine to have the same performance, or very similar, so it's very good news in the sense that the vaccine works very well in everyone. So what are the challenges now? Is the chief one just getting enough doses? Well, first of all, we need to help the companies to prepare the files, [both companies are expected to file with the FDA for emergency use authorization] and support them in going to the FDA reviews. The CDC and the ACIP will make recommendations if the FDA approves the vaccines. And while all of this is ongoing over the next probably three or four weeks, we will continue what we've been doing since the month of May, which is working with the companies to help with the manufacturing and the release of the vaccine doses. We have announced that we would be able to have enough doses to immunize about 20 million people by the month of December. That means the 40 million doses between the two vaccines, and about 25 million people on an ongoing basis from there on, in January and beyond. But then what's important to keep in mind is we have four more vaccines in the pipeline — in our portfolio — two of which are in the middle of their phase three trials with already about 10,000 subjects recruited in each one of their trials. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a one shot vaccine, which is a lot easier to deliver. People don't have to come back after a month or three weeks for a second dose. And that vaccine may very well read out in January and may be approved in February. And doses are being manufactured as we speak. Likewise with the AstraZeneca vaccine — that's a two shot vaccine." What is the value of pushing full speed ahead on all these vaccines when you've got two that look extremely promising, and understanding that resources are finite? Well, one [element] was to manage the risk of failure. The second, which was built in from day one, was to use different platform technologies because they may have different performance, which makes them best suited for different subpo[CENSORED]tions. You know, a frail elderly person's immune system is very different from a young 18-year-old football player. And a 55-year-old first line worker is different from a pediatric toddler or a 3-months-old baby. So the various platform technologies are going to give us the opportunity to select from a menu of vaccines with different performance, the best vaccines suited for a given po[CENSORED]tion. I think that's an important element. And then the third element is, this is one way to have more vaccine doses. Once you scale them up, you produce many more millions of vaccine doses per batch. As a person in charge of science, what do you say to people who are worried about vaccine safety — who say 'make all the vaccines you want, I'm not going to take it'? I have a plea, which is please just listen and open up your mind to hear the transparent data and information — and then make up your mind. But it's really very important not to have a predefined position. It is unfortunate that there was so much politics that has, I think, exacerbated certain reservations that, hopefully now, people can just take more time to rationally decide. Now, people need to realize there's only one way to protect yourself and also protect people around you (on top of, of course, wearing your mask and washing your hands and keeping your distance) and it's vaccination. And if enough of us gets vaccinated, there is a good chance that we keep this virus at very, very low levels, which means we can go back to normal life — fully normal life. When I last spoke to you, Dr. Slaoui, you told me you're looking at the middle of 2021 for a vaccine that is safe, effective and widely available. Does that timeline hold or does this news of the last week bump things up any? I think my statement has always been that by the middle of 2021, we would be able to have vaccinated the U.S. po[CENSORED]tion — and I think that statement remains. I think in a worst case scenario, if we only have these two vaccines that work, we may not be able to have produced 600 million doses between now and June, so it may extend by a quarter or so. But all in all, I think I feel more comfortable now saying the vaccines are possible, vaccination is possible — and not only is it possible, can be incredibly effective, and that's great news. So it gives me great optimism that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Microsoft hasn’t completed its acquisition of Bethesda yet, but there’s only one question fans wanted answered: will future games come to the PlayStation 5? To be fair to the Redmond firm, it probably genuinely doesn’t know right now, but there’s been conflicting information emerging from various interviews. Most recently, Xbox boss Phil Spencer made the likelihood of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI seem low on Sony’s systems. But now chief financial officer Tim Stuart has indicated the opposite. Speaking at the Jefferies Interactive Entertainment conference, he said that his company “don’t have intentions of just pulling all of Bethesda content out of Sony or Nintendo or otherwise”. He added that he wants the publisher’s games to be “better or best” on Xbox, which obviously puts PlayStation at a disadvantage – but it’s not as bad as them simply never existing on Sony’s hardware at all. He concluded: “I’m not announcing pulling content from platforms one way or the other. But I suspect you’ll continue to see us shift towards a first or better or best approach on our platforms.” The conflicting messages do seem to suggest that this all still very much up in the air, and we probably won’t truly know what Microsoft plans to do until it makes some official announcements. For now, there’s Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo to look forward to, and then we’ll see what happens after that.

Video conferencing platform Zoom has enjoyed a breakout year, thanks to the pandemic and rise of remote working. It's used primarily by businesses to host meetings with remote colleagues and clients - but Zoom is an equally useful tool for keeping in touch with friends and family. Zoom video conferencing is celebrated for its ease of use, high quality video and audio, and collaboration facilities such as text chat and screen sharing - and the basic version is also completely free of charge. Attendees can join a Zoom meeting without signing into the app, but must sign up for an account to host a video conference. Premium versions support Zoom meetings with up to 1,000 participants, call recording, unlimited phone calls and much more. Check out our list of the best collaboration tools around Working from home: the mouse, monitor, keyboard and router you need We've built a list of the best business webcams on the market The Zoom app is available on all major desktop and mobile operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. For more information, visit our how to use Zoom guide. Free Zoom or paid? Zoom is available free of charge to anyone and the basic free version offers all the facilities most people will need. However, as with anything, you get what you pay for. Free Zoom offers video conferencing for up to 100 participants, provided the meeting runs for no longer than 40 minutes, at which point attendees are ejected from the conference. If you don’t mind the hassle of dialling back in, the host can simply start another call. It also supports unlimited one-on-one meetings, screen sharing, chat, virtual backgrounds, whiteboard and more. The paid version, meanwhile, effectively removes time limits for group video conferences (pushing the cap to 24 hours), and also allows the host to record meetings to cloud or on-device storage and schedule repeat meetings. The most basic paid version costs $149.90/£119.90/AU$209.90 per year when billed annually or $14.99/£11.99/AU$20.99 per month, which is a little more expensive in the long-run. Quoted prices do not cover additional add-ons - such as webinar facilities, large meetings (up to 1000 participants) and additional cloud recording storage - which will bump up the price. Zoom for mobile or desktop? It’s worth bearing in mind not all Zoom meetings are equal; the desktop version is kitted out with a number of features unavailable on mobile. Beyond the most obvious downside to video conferencing on mobile - the comparatively small screen - Zoom for iOS and Android contains watered down and less intuitive versions of the chat and screen sharing facilities. The mobile version also only allows four participants to appear on screen at once and presenting complex charts and documents is made challenging by the small screen. For large scale business meetings with colleagues or calls with multiple friends, Zoom for desktop is the only sensible choice. Zoom alternatives While the word Zoom is used by some as a byword for video conference, there are many Zoom alternatives on the market capable of rivalling the big name brand. Here are a few alternatives to Zoom that make an equally good choice for businesses looking for the best video conferencing services around:

NVIDIA's official GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card performance benchmarks have leaked out by Videocardz. As per the numbers, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti looks to perform better than the Turing based GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER in all regards which would make it a pretty nice 1080p and even 1440p gaming option. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Official Gaming Performance Benchmarks Show It Ahead of The RTX 2080 SUPER The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is going to be the first sub-$500 US graphics card within the RTX 30 series family. It's also going to be the first mainstream performance variant from any two GPU vendors (AMD/NVIDIA) who are currently focused on their higher-end lineups. On paper, the RTX 3060 Ti aims to be a successor to the RTX 2060 SUPER while offering performance on par or faster than the RTX 2080 SUPER. In the performance tests which were measured at 1440p resolution on an Intel Core i9-10900K CPU based platform, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti delivered an average 5.5% performance uplift over the RTX 2080 SUPER and an average 43.5% performance uplift over the RTX 2060 SUPER in the trio of AAA titles that were tested. In ray tracing, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scored a 44.75% performance uplift over the RTX 2060 SUPER and a 9.5% uplift over the RTX 2080 SUPER. The ray-tracing uplift is pretty strong on Ampere GPUs considering they pack the 2nd Gen RT cores and the RTX 3060 Ti in fact packs less RT cores than the RTX 2080 SUPER but still ends up being faster as per the results. Moving over to content creation and rendering performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti does score a bigger win with a 67.8% uplift over the RTX 2060 SUPER and a 36.3% uplift over the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. Now, these are definitely some huge gains for the RTX 2060 SUPER successor but we have to wait for actual reviews to validate whether NVIDIA's results match our own.NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Card Specifications The specifications for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti feature the GA104 GPU which confirms that this is the second GPU to feature the said chip. There's no specific variant or SKU number mentioned but previous reports have hinted at the GA104-200 SKU for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The GA104-200 GPU on the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti graphics card features 4864 CUDA Cores, 80 ROPs, clock speeds 1410 MHz base, and 1665 MHz boost. Based on the specs, the card should deliver an effective compute horsepower of 16.2 TFLOPsFor memory, the graphics card will feature 8 GB of GDDR6 memory which will be running across a 256-bit bus interface. The memory clock for the GDDR6 memory would be maintained at 1750 MHz or 14 Gbps effective which rounds up a total bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The pixel and texture fillrate are both reported at 133.2 GPixel/s & 674.3 GTexel/s, respectively. We expect the RTX 3060 Ti to land around $399 US in terms of pricing.The NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti is planned for launch on 2nd December and will be available in several custom variants at launch.

President-elect Joe Biden played a central role as vice president during the Obama administration, pulling together a task force that is widely credited with saving General Motors and the then-Chrysler, along with as many as 1 million American automotive jobs. Looking forward, the fast-evolving transportation industry is expected to play a central role in Biden's plan for economic recovery. Biden has already signaled his goal of addressing a number of issues central to the auto industry — including trade, infrastructure, and electric and autonomous vehicles — that will reshape the transportation world in the years ahead. One of his key campaign promises calls for the creation of 1 million new jobs, in everything from new and improved roads to EV charging stations. Biden’s win could especially benefit companies who focus on green and emission-free technologies. "Traditional automakers with largely union workforces would likely be among the biggest winners from tax incentives that would further stimulate the production and consumption of EVs," Garrett Nelson, a senior automotive analyst with CFRA Research, wrote in a research note. Electrified vehicles will play an increasingly critical role in the industry, with dozens of new all-electric models, from the Ford Mustang Mach-E to the Tesla Cybertruck, due out over the next two years. Biden’s support for clean energy and, in particular, electrified vehicles, is one area in which he and President Donald Trump have most sharply disagreed. The Trump administration has been indifferent, at most, to cleaner vehicles, rejecting mostly Democratic calls to expand the $7,500 federal EV incentives and even suggesting the current program should be eliminated. Biden supports an expansion, something Nelson sees as “the most impactful part of his (transportation) plan.” Biden also wants to create a nationwide charging infrastructure to address so-called “range anxiety,” one of the key obstacles to widespread public acceptance of plug-based vehicles. There currently are 27,021 charging stations, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, largely along the coasts. Biden envisions 500,000, spread across every part of the country. Biden has indicated his intentions of rejoining the Paris climate accord, which Trump dropped, and is expected to reverse other moves made under the soon-ending administration. That includes a rollback of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards set in place under Obama. Clean energy was central to Biden’s campaign and his promise to fund renewable sources like solar and wind would make charging stations more likely to deliver zero-emission energy. Underscoring his environmental stand, Mary Nichols is reportedly under consideration to be Biden's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. She currently heads the California Air Resources Board that has pushed through tough emissions standards and rules calling for rapid growth in EV sales. Recommended

An international research team found that certain lifestyle choices may have a big impact on mood. That includes having a better-quality diet, getting more physical activity and not smoking. Australian researchers analyzed UK Biobank data from 85,000 people to determine impact of lifestyle on depression. They found physical activity, a healthy diet and getting between seven and nine hours of sleep nightly was associated with less frequency of depressed mood. Screen time and tobacco smoking were significantly associated with higher frequency of depression. "The research is the first assessment of such a broad range of lifestyle factors and its effect on depression symptoms using the large UK Biobank lifestyle and mood dataset," said lead co-author Jerome Sarris, a professor at Western Sydney University's NICM Health Research Institute. "While people usually know that physical activity is important for mood, we now have additional data showing that adequate sleep and less screen time is also critical to reduce depression," he said in a university news release. A person's diet pattern may be partly responsible for exacerbating a depressed mood, according to the study. Surprisingly, more frequent alcohol consumption was associated with reduced frequency of depression in people with depression, according to the study. One reason may be that people with depression are self-medicating with alcohol to manage their moods. "The results may inform public health policy by further highlighting the important relationship between people being encouraged and supported to engage in a range of health-promoting activities. In particular, maintaining optimal sleep and lessening screen time [which is often an issue in youth], while having adequate physical activity and good dietary quality, may reduce the symptoms of depression," Sarris said.

A second COVID-19 vaccine now also appears highly effective in preventing illness following exposure to the virus that causes the diseaseThe biotech company Moderna Inc. said Monday that its experimental vaccine was 94.5% effective in preventing disease, according to an analysis of its clinical trial. The news comes a week after Pfizer and BioNTech said their vaccine was more than 90% effective. The results for both vaccines come from interim analyses of large clinical studies. In the Moderna study there were 30,000 volunteers. Half got two doses of the vaccine 28 days apart; half got two shots of a placebo on the same schedule. There were 95 instances of COVID-19 illness among the study participants; only five of those cases were in the vaccinated group. Ninety were in the group receiving the placebo. Of these, there were 11 cases of severe disease. The results indicate the vaccine was inducing the kind of immune response that protects people if they were exposed to the coronavirus. "This positive interim analysis from our Phase 3 study has given us the first clinical validation that our vaccine can prevent COVID-19 disease, including severe disease," Stéphane Bancel, chief executive officer of Moderna, said in a statement. Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines use the same technology to make their vaccines. It's based on a molecule known as mRNA, or messenger RNA. That molecule contains genetic instructions for making proteins inside cells.For the vaccine, researchers created an mRNA with the code for making the coronavirus spike protein. The protein is the key to the virus infecting cells. It's also what can trigger someone's immune system to make antibodies against the virus, but without causing infection since the rest of the virus is missing. That two mRNA vaccines appear to be working is remarkable, since the technology is new and there hasn't been an mRNA vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration made to date. The Moderna and Pfizer studies were conducted using slightly different protocols. To be counted as a COVID-19 case, participants in the Moderna study had to have at least two symptoms of disease in addition to a positive test for the virus. The Pfizer study required only one symptom. Also, Moderna waited 14 days following the second injection to begin counting cases; Pfizer's study started counting at seven days. The vaccines also differ in their storage requirements. Moderna says its vaccine can be safely stored in freezers at about 25 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 4 degrees Celsius), a temperature easily reached by a home refrigerator freezer. Pfizer's vaccine required storage in specialized ultracold freezers capable of cooling below minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 70 degrees Celsius). Moderna also says its vaccine will remain potent for up to 30 days at normal refrigerated temperatures, which should ease distribution. Both companies' vaccine studies managed to recruit a reasonably diverse group of people. Moderna reports 6,000 enrollees who identified as Hispanic or Latinx and more than 3,000 participants who identified as Black or African American, as well as 7,000 people older than 65, and 5,000 with high-risk chronic diseases. Pfizer and Moderna are still gathering safety data the Food and Drug Administration has said is necessary for consideration of an emergency use authorization that would allow the companies to distribute the vaccine during the pandemic. Side effects seen for the Moderna vaccine at the interim analysis included pain at the injection site, fatigue and aching muscles and joints. The data safety and monitoring board didn't identify "any significant safety concerns." Moderna said it intends to file "in the coming weeks" with the FDA for authorization of the company's vaccine for emergency use. The federal Operation Warp Speed project to hasten development of COVID-19 vaccines awarded Moderna a $1.5 billion contract in August to ramp up manufacturing and deliver 100 million vaccine doses, enough for 50 million people. The government has an option to buy up to 400 million more doses. Moderna said Monday that it expects to be able to ship about 20 million vaccine doses in the U.S. by the end of 2020. Next year, the company said it expects to be able to make 500 million to 1 billion doses worldwide. The research and development of the Moderna vaccine was aided by $955 million in federal funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Moderna has also been developing this vaccine alongside the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which in July told NPR it expects to spend about $410 million on the effort.

Well . u are my old friend also brother i like your activity and u will get from me full support u have from me Enjoy .

Well . i liked V1 he have best text ❤️ enjoy

Well . i really like dh1 its nice music ❤️
