"For us to end the dig with these utterly astounding finds is beyond exciting," lead archaeologist Rachel Wood said in a statement. "The statues are exceptionally well preserved, and you really get an impression of the people they depict — literally looking into the faces of the past is a unique experience." Wood said the discovery has many of them curious as to what else might be under England's churches. "This has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime site," Wood said, "and we are all looking forward to hearing what more the specialists can tell us about these incredible statues and the history of the site before the construction of the Norman church."Along with the busts, archaeologists dug up large roof tiles, painted wall plaster, Roman creation urns, and an "incredibly well preserved" hexagonal glass Roman jug, which had several large pieces still intact. It is believed the jug was in the ground for over 1,000 years.

That has helped the country produce many of the world’s most interesting and entertaining cars. And as the home of roadside drinks machines selling hot coffee in a can - amongst other exotica - there's no surprise it's produced its fair share of oddities as well. Here’s our list of the best car from Japan, in alphabetical order.

The 18-year-old US Open champion was comprehensively beaten 6-2 6-1 by her teenage Ukrainian opponent. Before the match Raducanu described how Kostyuk would "destroy" her when they played at junior level. And after her 57-minute defeat Raducanu said: "I was quite tired and lethargic but all credit to Marta." . The Briton, who was seeded third - three places higher than her 19-year-old opponent, added: "I wasn't physically feeling 100%. I knew from practice that I was tired, couldn't get it going. "It's disappointing that you have these days, it's not a nice feeling to have. I just need to move on from it and brush it off and then I'll be back in another tournament soon." Kostyuk will face Halep in the last four after the Romanian thrashed compatriot Jaqueline Cristian 6-1 6-1. End of the road for Raducanu The tournament in Romania had a special meaning for Raducanu as her grandmother still lives in the country and her father Ian was born there. Raducanu, who is ranked 23rd in the world, recorded her first tour level win against Polona Hercog on Tuesday, followed by a straight-sets victory over Ana Bogdan two days later. Against Kostyuk, however, Raducanu could not replicate the stunning form she has shown during her meteoric rise. The third seed said the fatigue she felt during the defeat in Cluj-Napoca was more than likely due to the whirlwind highs of the "last six months". "It's been a lot of learning and I have experienced a lot with no gaps," she added. "I'm just adapting to the fast-paced life of the tour and still very new to it. It's still going to take me some time to adjust." The third seed made 41 unforced errors compared to 16 by her opponent - who is just five months older than her. Raducanu went an early break down in the first set but began to find her range and cope better with Kostyuk's powerful serve. But any thoughts of a comeback for the Grand Slam winner were dashed in the second set as 55th-ranked Kostyuk dominated to secure a semi-final with top seed Halep. "Honestly I don't know how I won the first game," said Kostyuk following the win. "I was 15-40 down, she had advantage, she was serving, and I think that's where everything started - I somehow won that game and I gained this confidence." In total, Raducanu was broken five times and recorded seven double faults - a far cry from the flawless display she produced at Flushing Meadows in September. Home favourite Halep has already faced Kostyuk this month, with the pair meeting in the second round at Indian Wells three weeks ago. Two-time Grand Slam champion Halep was taken to a tie-break in the first set against Kostyuk before she overcame the 19-year-old 7-6 (7-2) 6-1.

Halloween is one of the most fun festivals of the year. People dress up, go to theme parties, and eat candies at the special festival. The Festival of Halloween is observed on the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It is a three-day observance dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. On this day, people attend Halloween costume parties, jack-o'-lanterns are craved out of pumpkins, make bonfires, etc.On this day, people are seen dressed in spooky costumes such as vampires, skeletons, ghosts, witches, devils, etc. and they roam around on the streets trick or treating. From little children to adults this festival is fun for all. Sweets are the highlighted element of the event. From spooky eye cakes to hat-shaped cookies Halloween is all about enjoyment. To celebrate the festival of Spookiness we have brought you the most ghoulish cakes.

The body of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru was found at the Lions Court Hotel in the town of Nanyuki, close to the Batuk (British Army Training Unit Kenya) camp, two months after she disappeared in March 2012.Sky News reported exclusively on her death at the time, with sources claiming they had seen Ms Wanjiru arriving at the hotel with British soldiers on 31 March that year. According to a report by the The Sunday Times, a soldier accused of the murder has been named by his comrades after he allegedly confessed to the killing. In a statement, General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith wrote: "I am sure you are all as appalled as I am at the recent allegations surrounding the murder of Agnes Wanjiru in Nanyuki, Kenya, in 2012." Advertisement He added: "I want you to know I am determined we support the appropriate authorities to establish the facts of the issue as quickly as possible." The paper said another soldier reported the killing to senior officers at the time, but no action was taken.

An update to the Cyberpunk 2077 development roadmap has revealed that all "updates, improvements, and free DLCs" for Cyberpunk 2077 have now been pushed into 2022. The fixes and new content had previously been set to arrive before the end of 2021. Specific reasons for the change aren't provided, but it comes on the heels of a tweet from CD Projekt last week saying that planned next-gen updates for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that were expected to be out before the end of the year have also been pushed into 2022.The most recent Cyberpunk update came in September and brought back wet roads; the much bigger 1.3 update in August included the first batch of free content, but its tiny size did not make a very good impression. Getting the game to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X is no doubt the studio's priority because that's where it's going to generate more revenues: Cyberpunk 2077 saw a serious bump in sales when it returned to the PlayStation Store earlier this year despite a warning (that's still present) on the store page that "users continue to experience performance issues with this game." Fixes and free content, on the other hand, aren't going to have as significant an impact on the bottom line.

Digital junk piles up too quickly. Look no further than your phone and all those blurry photos and old screenshots in your gallery. What you don't see are the invasive tracking cookies saved in your smartphone. Tap or click for a short privacy how-to everyone should read. Clutter on your computer can be even tougher to wrangle. Start with your Recycle Bin on a PC or Trash Can on a Mac. You need to manually empty that every so often. Tap or click for the files and folders you should also toss for good right now. Cleaning up your computer doesn't take a ton of time. But you have to do it the right, smart way. I can help. 1. Get sensitive files off your desktop How many documents are stored on your computer that you really wouldn’t want someone else to get their hands on? I know people who have an Excel spreadsheet loaded with their passwords stored in the open on the desktop.Maybe you keep financial records nicely organized or have a folder with all your essential medical documents. Beyond the privacy risk, think about what a pain it would be when your computer finally bites the dust. You don’t want to end up in a pinch because you never saved those files someplace safer. My recommendation: Back up anything you don’t want to lose to the cloud. Whatever option you go with, adhere to what tech pros call the 3-2-1 rule. Keep three copies of your important files: two on different storage media and one preserved in an off-site location. (Yes, the cloud counts.)If you do insist on saving private documents locally, at least give a snoop a more challenging time by naming the folder something off base like "Vacation Photos." Be sure your computer automatically locks when you're away and requires a password on startup tooPrograms take up a decent amount of space, so regularly clear out anything you’re not using. Beyond that, outdated apps could put you at risk. By keeping old programs on your computer, you’re potentially leaving a door wide open for cybercriminals to slip in. Here’s how to find space-consuming apps and uninstall them: On a Windows PC: • Click the Start button and look for the app or program. Press and hold (or right-click) the app and select Uninstall. On a Mac: • In the top left of your screen, click the Apple icon, then click About This Mac. • Select the Storage option in the middle of the pop-up box. • On the right-hand side, select Manage. You’ll see everything taking up space – and how much space it’s consuming. You can also review Apple’s recommendation for making space. • On the right, click Applications. Click on a program you no longer want and select Delete in the bottom right-hand corner, then confirm. RELATED: Upgrading to a new computer any time soon? Here are three options to delete files and totally erase your hard drive.

Around the mahogany tables of corporate boardrooms and the plywood workbenches of garage-based startups, one topic has threatened to monopolize business discussions for years: digital transformation. The first question in those discussions is often some form of “what is digital transformation?” The short answer is “everything.” After all, what company isn’t using digital tools to improve traditional workflows or capitalize on new business models made possible by our ever-evolving digital economy? The slightly longer answer is this: Digital transformation is the use of computers, software, and data to better understand what customers want, and then provide those experiences. It’s as simple—and as complicated—as that. It’s simple because it’s business as usual: Invest in new technologies to build a better product. It’s complicated because business as usual is disrupted across industries by a deluge of valuable data that promises personalized medicine, net-zero carbon emission airlines, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), and more—if that data can be effectively applied. Mining, understanding, and applying data to meet evolving customer needs is the most significant digital transformation challenge faced by businesses in every sector. To meet that challenge, businesses are trying to make sense of the information they are collecting to better inform decisions as they compete to get the best products to market faster.Simulation helps businesses meet those goals by enabling them to accurately predict and visualize what will happen in a given environment—in an automobile, an industrial plant, or even a person—under a certain set of circumstances. A first-tier original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplier for the automotive industry, thyssenkrupp Presta AG, reached a targeted 50% weight-reduction goal. The company achieved this by replacing metal housing for a servo-assisted steering system with an injection-molded housing made of short-fiber reinforced glass-fiber composite. Using simulation solutions gave thyssenkrupp Presta confidence in the plastic housing design before its actual manufacturing. The adoption of an innovative and lightweight plastic housing for its steering system supports both the ecological and the economic goals of the company. Digital twins can be connected to IIoT platforms, enabling remote predictive maintenance of physical equipment to extend digital transformation initiatives to the edge of the enterprise. ENGIE, one of the world’s leading suppliers of energy efficiency services, is helping companies transition to carbon-free energy by employing digital-twin simulation solutions. “This real-time technology allows us to observe and predict the behavior of our installation, and thus test strategies for the operation of the equipment by implementing, testing, and validating different scenarios instantly on the digital twin before deployment on the equipment,” said Nicolas Meynet, multiphysics simulation expert at ENGIE Lab CRIGEN. “The customer can better understand, anticipate, and validate the proper functioning of his [or her] installation by virtually testing the changes on the equipment.” What if digital-twin functionality extended to people? Lives could be saved, because medicines, surgical procedures, and treatment regimens would all be based on individual characteristics instead of generalities.Every human body is distinct in its geometry, movements, and behaviors. By creating a patient-specific simulation, we can predict how a proposed treatment plan will work not just in a generalized way, but in some cases also for a specific person,” said Dr. Liesbet Geris, research professor in biomechanics and computational tissue engineering at the Université de Liège and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. “This is a revolutionary concept that has the potential to fundamentally change the way we treat patients in a medical setting.” Geris is a long-time user of simulation in her research, which focuses on bone and cartilage regeneration, computational tissue engineering, and the design of orthopedic implants that can be 3D printed on demand. Accurate predictions and visualization are powerful forces in digital transformation. Simulation allows companies to see how new data affects a design, even if those changes are invisible to the naked eye, such as thermal flows around a printed circuit board, electromagnetic interference from lightning striking an aircraft, or the sun’s reflection off a LiDAR camera lens that hasn’t yet been built. Those visuals are both invaluable for collaboration and for exploring “what if” scenarios that lead to innovative designs. Simulation Speeds System Design and Development Whether using a new, lighter material to design a more fuel-efficient plane, modeling a battery pack in an autonomous vehicle, or designing an integrated circuit in a cell phone, simulation speeds product design and development by minimizing or avoiding the time and expenses associated with old design-build-test cycles that require multiple physical prototypes. As companies realize the enormous benefits of simulating components, they can apply simulation to the subsystems and systems that comprise those components. However, doing so creates large, complex digital models that could take days to solve on a conventional computer workstation. While that is exponentially better than months of building and testing physical prototypes, it can be even faster; Ansys simulation software can take advantage of high-performance computing (HPC) power and cloud computing to speed simulation times. Ansys Cloud provides access to on-demand, cloud-based computing resources, including interactive workstations and HPC clusters, for faster high-fidelity results offering greater performance insight. Ansys has also developed workflows that use reduced-order model (ROM) techniques to drastically reduce simulation runtimes without sacrificing accuracy. ABB engineers rapidly and accurately analyzed the thermal behavior of electric traction motors along their full duty cycles by coupling Ansys Fluent simulation software with Ansys Twin Builder’s dynamic ROM. The ROM gave the ABB team a way to obtain thermal performance results extraordinarily fast, empowering ABB engineers to examine a motor model, select random operational parameters, and quickly demonstrate the behavior of a traction model in response. With a traditional solver, this process would require many hours or even days. Using a dynamic ROM, engineers accomplished this task in a few milliseconds. Companies from every industry have made simulation a key part of their digital transformation efforts. It enables them to optimize product design and development, ensure system components interact seamlessly, and bring innovations to market faster—all without the expense of building and testing multiple prototypes.

Snoop Dogg, who it is always a pleasure to cover, especially when he's having big streaming fails or telling off Bill Gates, has told Rolling Stone that Dr. Dre is working on new music for Grand Theft Auto. Snoop will collaborate on some of these tracks, though it's unclear whether the GTA project in question is for GTA 6, a GTA Online expansion, or something to do with the GTA Trilogy releasing next month. “I do know he’s making great [CENSORED] music," Snoop said when pressed on his close friend's movements. "And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game.” The quote above was in response to questions on Detox, Dr. Dre's long in-gestation follow-up to his 2015 album Compton. Given Snoop's wording—"that will be the way that his music will be released"—it's easy to speculate that maybe Detox will launch via GTA Online in the same way other artists have launched albums in Fortnite. Again, pure speculation. Neither Dr. Dre's representatives nor Rockstar itself offered comment to Rolling Stone. The less exciting possibility is that Dr. Dre is just recording contributions to the forthcoming "expanded and enhanced" version of GTA Online, which hits new-gen consoles in early 2022. Or, maybe licensing every song in the original 3D GTA trilogy was impossible, so Rockstar is commissioning whole new tracks. Or maybe Snoop has just confirmed new Dr. Dre tracks will appear in GTA 6. One of those options is more exciting than the others.Shaun is PC Gamer’s Australian editor and news writer.

Odds are you don’t need to because there’s no limit in place where you live, but this used to be a big concern with expensive consequences for motorists in New South Wales, Australia. Driving laws are influenced by the cars in a given nation, the folks who drive them and the environment they operate in. While nearly every country bans speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol, some enforce seemingly weirder rules written to address specific local problems. That’s how lawmakers around the world ended up needing to take potatoes, headphones and mudflaps into consideration. We’ve sorted through the myths and the legends to find the oddest driving laws in the world:

The Lakers led 56-30 during the second quarter but the Thunder hit back to take a 97-95 lead at the third quarter buzzer before staying clear. Westbrook recorded his first triple-double for the Lakers since joining in August but also had 10 turnovers. He was ejected late on for a second technical foul. It was the 32-year-old guard's first appearance for the Lakers in Oklahoma City, where he spent the first 11 seasons of his NBA career. LeBron James missed his second straight game because of an ankle injury. Fellow star Anthony Davis scored 30 points but could not prevent the 2020 champions from losing a third game in their first five matches. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 27 points to help them secure their first win of the season. Elsewhere, reigning champions the Milwaukee Bucks were beaten 113-108 by the Minnesota Timberwolves, despite Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo hitting 40 points. The Brooklyn Nets, another pre-season favourite for the title, suffered their third defeat of the season as they were beaten 106-93 by the Miami Heat. Last year's beaten finalists the Phoenix Suns lost for the second game in a row as the Sacramento Kings secured a 110-107 win.

CEO Mike Flewitt has stepped down from his position and will be leaving the company after almost a decade in charge. Flewitt joined McLaren as chief operating officer in 2012 before being appointed as CEO in July 2013, a position he has held since. A successor to Flewitt has not yet been announced, although a search has already begun for a new CEO.Flewitt's departure comes just weeks after former Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby and former Porsche CEO Michael Macht were appointed as non-executive directors to the McLaren Group (which includes the Automotive, Racing and Technology businesses) board.Macht "will assume responsibility for all technical and operational functions" at McLaren Automotive while a new CEO is recruited. Sales, marketing and PR operations will be overseen by McLaren Group's executive chairman, Paul Walsh. “I feel incredibly proud to have led McLaren Automotive through most of its first, highly successful decade and am privileged to have played a part in the incredible McLaren story," Flewitt said. “This young company’s success is testament to the many passionate and talented people I have had the pleasure of working with and I look forward to seeing that success continue.” Flewitt became a high-level executive at quite an acrimonious time for McLaren, which had just launched its first model, the MP4-12C to mixed reviews. Antony Sheriff had spent almost a decade as managing director establishing the company but was placed on gardening leave at the start of 2013 and ended up suing the company for wrongful dismissal. Flewitt's second role at McLaren was in the newly created CEO position and he soon oversaw the launch of the P1, 570S and the 12C's morphing into the 650S, a car that built on the 12C's undoubted strengths and addressed many of its flaws. He built a range of cars at McLaren that brought annual sales close to 5000 models in 2018 and 2019. The pandemic, though, hit not only the Automotive division but also the entire McLaren Group hard, with some 1200 job losses in a restructuring last May. The company is now gearing up for the launch of its first series-production hybrid model, the Artura, which is the first in the next-generation of McLaren models using electrified technology.

Joshua, who lost the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles to Ukrainian Usyk, told iFL TV he was ready for "war" as he prepares for a potential rematch. "I'm done with losing. I'm done with trying to learn the sweet science," Briton Joshua, 32, said. "[Usyk] might get thrown on the floor in the next fight because this is war." He added: "I'm heading into my 12th world title fight now and the learning is done. It's done. It's just war. I'm annoyed. I'm boiling up just speaking about it." Joshua has spent time in the United States since the loss and worked with leading trainers including Ronnie Shields, who was instrumental in Mike Tyson's in-ring career. He insisted he was not splitting from long-time coach Rob McCracken but instead needed to develop further by seeking other inputs. "I need a new coach to learn from as well," he added. "I will not be basing myself in the States, I am a UK resident so I am not going out to the States to find a new coach. "Rob's in Lithuania so I need to find a new coach for certain points as I train 10 or 11 months a year. I need to step away and get some new teachings from trainers who have trained the likes of 13 or 14 world champions. "I wish I had done these things sooner, but now I can go out there and add things to my game." Defeat by Usyk has put any immediate hopes of a clash with fellow Briton Tyson Fury, the WBC belt holder, on hold. However, Joshua said he would use the setback as a catalyst to further success. "Because you don't hear from me, I may not be effing and blinding on Instagram stories and stuff like that, it doesn't mean that I stomach losses," he said. "We've had some awkward conversations in the camp. It hurts, especially when you've got a winner's mentality. "I know from experience and track record, my mindset and my evaluation of losses and how I use them, it can catapult me to the next level."

LONDON -- London finally honoured the late Princess Diana Wednesday with a blue plaque at the place she called home in the two years before she married Prince Charles and her life in the goldfish bowl began. For Diana, 60 Coleherne Court, an apartment near London's fashionable King's Road, was the start of a new adventure. Settling in the capital on reaching her 18th birthday, Diana shared the apartment with a number of friends from 1979 to 1981. It was there that she first started to court Charles. One of her roommates then, Virginia Clarke, helped unveil the English Heritage plaque during Wednesday's ceremony."Those were happy days for all of us and the flat was always full of laughter," she said. "Diana went off to become so much to so many. It's wonderful that her legacy will be remembered in this way." According to Andrew Morton's 1992 best-selling book "Diana, In Her Own Words," Diana described her years at the property as "the happiest time" of her life. Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, is the highest profile former member of the monarchy to be bestowed the honor. She was nominated by the London Assembly in 2019 after the body ran a campaign asking Londoners to suggest women worthy of a blue plaque. "Diana had, and still has, a very special place in the hearts of Londoners and we are thrilled to see her blue plaque formally placed as a monument to her work for others," said Andrew Boff, chairman of the London Assembly. The honor comes in the year when she would have celebrated her 60th birthday. "Diana was one of the world's most famous women and she used her fame and influence to raise awareness of issues such as homelessness and landmines," said Anna Eavis, the curatorial director at English Heritage. "It is fitting that our blue plaque remembers her at this place where her life in the public eye first began," she added. The renowned London blue plaque program began more than 150 years ago. The plaques commemorate people who achieved something worthwhile in their lives and who made London their home at some point. There are more than 900 official plaques in the capital.

Lance Corporal Robert Cook will receive full military honours after his identity was confirmed by experts, known as the War Detectives. He was among tens of thousands of soldiers who lost their lives during intensive fighting around the town of Ypres, dying on 2 May 1915 aged 38. Born in Bishop Wilton in 1876 in the East Riding of Yorkshire, he was one of seven children and served with the 2nd Battalion The Essex Regiment. He had also served in the Boer War in South Africa. He will be buried at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's New Irish Farm Cemetery near Ypres on Wednesday afternoon. L/Cpl Cook's great-nephew and great-niece are set to attend the service on behalf of his surviving family.Also present will be members of the modern equivalent of his regiment - members of the C "Essex" Company of 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment. His body, like so many others, had been missing for a century and his name was among 54,000 inscribed on the Menin Gate memorial to the missing. Between 2014 and 2015, the remains of 24 soldiers were found during construction work, near what is believed to have been a Regimental Aid Post during the war.His was found with a medal ribbon bar, shoulder ties and the cap badge of The Essex Regiment. All but one of the soldiers have been buried following investigations by the Ministry of Defence's Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC). To this day, tens of thousands of those who fell in Flanders fields, including during the five battles of Ypres, have never been found.

1. The Supreme Court again refused to block Texas’ abortion law, but agreed to fast-track suits challenging it. Arguments are set for Nov. 1. The court will consider two appeals: one from the Justice Department and one from abortion providers in Texas. The arguments will be limited to the procedural question of whether the Texas law is subject to review in federal court given its novel structure, which was designed to evade judicial challenges. The Texas law, which makes no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from incest or rape, deputizes private individuals to sue anyone who performs an abortion or “aids and abets” one. The court turned down a request from officials in Texas to decide whether to entirely overturn the right to abortion established in 1973, in Roe v. Wade. That question is already before the court in a case challenging a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks. Arguments in that case are set for Dec. 1.

Since their commercialization in 1991, lithium-ion batteries have received worldwide success. However, this cannot hide their intrinsic limitations in terms of safety, performance, and form factor. Most current lithium-ion technologies employ liquid electrolytes, with lithium salts such as LiPF6, LiBF4, or LiClO4 in an organic solvent. However, the solid electrolyte interface, which is caused as a result of the decomposition of the electrolyte at the negative electrode, limits the effective conductance. Furthermore, liquid electrolytes need membranes to separate the cathode and anode, as well as an impermeable casing to avoid leakage. Therefore, the size and design freedom for these batteries are constrained. In addition, liquid electrolytes have safety and health issues as they use flammable and corrosive liquids. Samsung's Firegate has particularly highlighted the risks that even large companies incur when flammable liquid electrolytes are used, as well as the dozens of electric vehicle fire accidents caused by battery combustion. Current high-end lithium-ion batteries can reach an energy density of over 700 Wh/L at cell level, with a maximum driving range of about 500 Km for electric vehicles. The high-nickel-cathode materials being improved may further push the energy density but the characteristics of the active materials may draw a threshold. Solid-state batteries can make a difference Solid-state batteries replace organic liquid electrolytes with solid-state counterparts, enabling safer, long-lasting batteries. In addition, solid-state electrolytes can be compatible with high voltage-cathode materials and high-capacity lithium metal anode. It is possible to push the energy density beyond 1,000 Wh/L. Better safety means less safety monitoring electronics in the battery modules/packs. Therefore, even the initial generations of solid-state batteries may have similar or even less energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. The energy available in the battery pack can be comparable or even higher than the latter. With the larger electrochemical window that the solid electrolytes can provide, high voltage cathode materials can be used. In addition, high-energy-density lithium metal anode can further push the energy density beyond 1,000 Wh/L. These features can further make the solid-state battery a game-changer. Within solid-state batteries, there are various technology approaches. IDTechEx has identified solid-state battery technologies including solid polymer electrolyte, as well as other 8 inorganic electrolyte types such as LISICON-like, argyrodites, garnet, NASICON-like, Perovskite, LiPON, Li-Hydride, and Li-Halide. In general, oxide, sulfide, and polymer systems have become po[CENSORED]r options in next-generation development. Sulfide electrolytes have advantages of high ionic conductivity, even better than liquid electrolytes, low processing temperature, wide electrochemical stability window, etc. Many features make them appealing, being considered by many as the ultimate option. However, the difficulty of manufacturing and the toxic by-product hydrogen sulfide generated in the process make the commercialization relatively slow. Polymer systems are easy to fabricate, and they are closest to commercialization, while the relatively high operating temperature, low anti-oxide potential, and worse stability indicate challenges. Oxide systems are stable and safe, while the higher interface resistance and high processing temperature show some difficulties in general. The race between polymer, oxide, and sulfide systems is unclear so far and it is common to see battery companies trying multiple approaches. Complex technology approaches make the decision difficult. What is next? There have been numerous press releases on the progress of solid-state batteries and electric vehicle prototypes equipped with solid-state batteries. It seems the focus on solid-state batteries will mainly be battery cells. However, this will only be part of the future focus. Another important trend is the cell to pack (CTP) approach. CTP is not a new concept and it can be found in designs based on lithium-ion batteries already, such as BYD's blade battery and CATL's CTP designs. The CTP concept will become more important due to the better safety of solid-state battery cells. Better battery safety means a more flexible pack design and fewer electronics/components used in the battery module/packs. For instance, the bipolar design enables higher energy density. It is possible that initial generations of solid-state batteries may not equip with high-voltage, high-capacity cathode, and lithium metal anode, thus leading to energy densities less than commercial lithium-ion batteries. It is also expected that the initial costs of solid-state battery cells are higher than lithium-ion counterparts. However, with higher energy density at pack level with flexible design and fewer materials/components used, it is possible that solid-state battery packs can be comparable to or even better than lithium-ion batteries.

Bungie is coming down on players who've been exploiting a major game-breaking bug in Destiny 2, but the current solution may be pulling legitimate players into the crossfire too. The min/max glitch has quietly been on Bungie's radar for a few months, but a video showing how to replicate the bug has thrown the exploit out in the open. Popping the game into windowed mode and holding down the minimise window button for five seconds before using certain super abilities causes the game to have a bit of a moment, tanking framerate and dropping a ton of Orbs of Power—essentially allowing for a constant stream of supers. It's a huge issue for PvP in particular, with the glitch theoretically letting teams who use steamroll their opponents.Senior community manager dmg04 says that the development team has been "silently working" on a fix for a while now, but called it "an incredibly deep and difficult to fix bug." A patch is currently penned in for December, but Bungie is starting to take action against those exploiting the issue.Significant dips in framerate will now force Rutabaga errors, bumping you out of whatever you're doing. Dmg04 also warned that erroring out a handful of times "can be met with escalating restrictions," adding "aside from recommending you don't negatively impact the experience of others by reproducing this issue, I also recommend not ruining your own."The main issue with the current solution is that it can cause issues for those who suffer from regular framerate hitches and even people who regularly Alt+Tab out of the game to be slapped with a PvP timeout. Dmg04 said it shouldn't result in a full account ban though, and players who are being wrongfully errored out can respond to a Destiny help thread. While the current band-aid may come with some frustrating caveats, it beats getting unfairly crapped on during matches.A fresh writer in the industry, Mollie has been taken under PC Gamer's RGB-laden wing, making sure she doesn't get up to too much mischief on the site.

will not offer an estate version of the new Fabia, despite earlier confirmations from high-ranking company executives that it was inbound. As the Czech brand ramps up its move towards an electrified model range, it has decided to pull the plug on development of the wagon, which was due to arrive in 2023 and be produced at Skoda’s factory in Mladá Boleslav. The decision was made in line with the firm’s commitment to Skoda's Next Level strategy, which includes the launch of three EVs by 2030.The outgoing Fabia Estate has been essentially unrivalled in the UK for the last two years; the closely related Seat Ibiza ST was pulled from sale in 2017 and Dacia hasn't directly replaced the similarly sized and priced Logan MCV. Skoda confirmed to Autocar that the model would be removed from the Fabia range in an effort to meet emissions targets set by the EU. It said: “The European Commission’s recent decision to reduce the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 is accelerating the transformation from the internal combustion engine to the e-car [EV]. “However, this also means we will be discontinuing some ICE products more quickly – particularly against the backdrop of increasingly stringent emissions legislation in Europe (Euro 7), compliance with which is associated with very high costs. “Following this decision, there will be no successor to the Fabia Estate. Nevertheless, our Czech plants will be working to full capacity. The demand for our vehicles is already exceeding our production capacities, and we're responding to the accelerated transformation to e-mobility by introducing additional e-vehicles.” Skoda CEO Thomas Schäfer previously said the variant would return in a post on his LinkedIn profile, before Volkswagen Group chairman Herbert Diess confirmed a planned 2023 launch date. “We will again have a combi [estate] version,” Schäfer said last December. “This is very important to us, because it underlines our commitment to offering affordable, practical mobility in the entry-level segments.” Czech sources had suggested the Fabia would exit production back in 2017, but the firm later confirmed the next-generation model would arrive by the end of 2022. The Fabia Estate accounts for 34% of the outgoing Fabia's total sales and can still be configured on Skoda's UK website, with prices starting from £18,205.

Temba Bavuma has blazed a trail that could be topped by his becoming the first player to skipper the Proteas to victory at a World Cup. The 31-year-old leads South Africa at their seventh Men's T20 World Cup, with their best performances coming in 2009 and 2014 when they stumbled at the semi-final hurdle. With South African cricket in the midst of a traumatic period in which the national administration lurched from one crisis to another at the same time as allegations of racism were being levelled by former black players against their white team-mates, lifting the World Cup - against all odds, it must be said - would provide a welcome boost for the game in this country. What a story it would be if the diminutive Bavuma, at only 5ft 3in tall, reaches the heights of Siya Kolisi, who captained the Springboks to victory at the Rugby World Cup in Japan two years ago to spark countrywide celebrations on the team's return home. Winning the T20 World Cup would be a huge achievement for an inexperienced group that began the tournament as the International Cricket Council's fifth-ranked T20 team. Nearly half the 15-man squad, including Bavuma, will be playing their first global tournament. Bavuma accepts his team must scale a massive mountain if they are to become world champions. "Lifting the World Cup is the goal - that will be great - but there's a lot we need to achieve before getting to that point," he tells BBC Sport. "I don't want to get ahead of myself to put images of a rapturous welcome at the airport in my head." A good friend of Kolisi, Bavuma has gained insights into the secrets of the rugby team's success. "We share ideas in terms of the different sports, the different challenges from a leadership point of view and the pressures that come with playing at such a big event," Bavuma says. "We've chatted about him being in his leadership position. It's chats that we have informally, which makes it so nice. He's a humble guy so he'll never take sole responsibility for what the Springbok team has achieved. "I take a lot of inspiration and confidence from the fact that he took over a side that probably wasn't in the best of positions and, through his leadership, he was able to get the guys together and win the World Cup." An articulate and self-assured operator, Bavuma is no stranger to captaincy, having led the Lions franchise to two domestic T20 titles and one first-class trophy. In the 2018-19 season, his first as skipper, he scored a decisive 61-ball maiden T20 century in the T20 Challenge final. Bavuma had also made a superb start to his international white-ball career, making 113 against Ireland in 2016 to become only the second South African to hit a century on one-day debut. Graeme Smith, South Africa's most successful captain and now Cricket South Africa (CSA) director of cricket, and selection convenor Victor Mpitsang were instrumental in entrusting Bavuma with the captaincy. "We've always known about Temba's leadership qualities," Smith said when announcing his appointment in March. "We've noticed the way he's been operating in the squad and experience he brings. The nature of his tactical captaincy at the Lions and the feedback we've received from within the squad - from the managers and coaches - has been really positive." Bavuma says captaining South Africa was not a box he wanted to tick. "It was never an ambition of mine," he reveals. "It came as a surprise. As a young kid you always strive to play for your country, to live your passion. Captaining the team is a bonus." Bavuma also bears the extra load as a role model for aspiring young black cricketers. "It is an added responsibility but it's something that I've managed to carry and take in my stride," he says. "Early on in my international captaincy career it was a responsibility that proved to be a little heavy. Of late, I've accepted it; I don't fight it. It's become a bit easier to navigate." To complicate matters, a storm erupted around South Africa coach Mark Boucher, who was accused of racism by ex-spinner Paul Adams at CSA's Social Justice and Nation-building hearings in July. Adams testified under oath that he was racially abused by former team-mates, including Boucher, who allegedly sang a team song containing a racist term. Boucher apologised "unreservedly for any offensive conduct, real or perceived" but described the allegations as "hurtful and factually incorrect". Bavuma, who discussed the issue with the embattled Boucher, says: "It was outside noise but it was the type of noise that as a team we couldn't ignore. It found its way within the team and we had conversations about it. "We spoke to Mark to really understand these allegations, to allow us as a team to move forward. We can't take everything we hear in the media as gospel. You have to give people the opportunity to give their side of the story. "This team is now in a much better situation. The chats we had gave us an opportunity to have a deep introspection and look at how we can do things better if need be." Although South Africa lost to Australia in the final over of their opening World Cup game on Saturday, face defending champions West Indies in Dubai on Tuesday in buoyant mood. They have won their past three T20 series - against West Indies, Ireland and Sri Lanka - all of which were played away from home. "Our performances have been very good of late," says Bavuma. "We take the confidence from them and we'll just try to drive with the momentum that we've gained."
