Which referees showed a red card to themselves?

Two cases are known when the referees showed a red card to themselves: Andy Wayne, who refereeed the Peterborough North End - Royal Mail match, and Melvin Sylvester at the Southampton Arms match - Hurstbourne Tarrant British Legion. The first one ran up to the goalkeeper after his next protest, but stopped in time and decided to remove himself so as not to bring the matter to the point of assault. And the second struck several blows to the player after a push from him.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

7nm Ryzen Pro 4000 processors for business laptops 14.05.2020

AMD announced the wide availability of a new line of mobile processors - Ryzen Pro 4000. The presented APUs belong to the 7nm Renoir family and are blood brothers of the already well-known Ryzen 4000 consumer APUs, released in March. At the same time, the new Ryzen Pro 4000 is designed for use in a business environment, with enhanced support and security technologies. According to AMD, the new series sets "a new standard for today's business notebooks."

The AMD Ryzen Pro 4000 mobile processor lineup includes three models with 4, 6 and 8 cores - Ryzen 3 Pro 4450U, Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U and Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U. As noted above, these are technically complete copies of consumer counterparts. Among themselves, all the new items are related by support for Simultaneous Multi-Threading technology, an improved Radeon Vega video core with 5-7 computing units and a 15-watt heat pack.

The new chips provide a significant performance boost over the Ryzen Pro 3000 predecessors and also outperform Intel competitors. AMD is calling the flagship Pro 4750U "the fastest processor for ultra-slim business laptops," claiming superiority over the rival Intel Core i7-1070U in several benchmarks, including PCMark 10, Geekbench v5, and Passmark 9. Interestingly, the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U outperformed not only the class-matching Core i5-10210U, but also the older i7 in most AMD benchmarks. AMD also promises a noticeable improvement in battery life, including through a number of software optimizations: improved idle and activity detection (to turn off components as unnecessary and quickly turn them on when needed) and extensive power management capabilities with quick switching between several modes.

Laptops based on the Ryzen Pro 4000 will be released by Lenovo and HP, as well as other AMD partners. Appropriate models should go on sale by the end of this quarter. Speaking of Lenovo, the following Ryzen Pro 4000 based ThinkPad models have been confirmed: T14 and T14s Gen 1, X13 Gen 1, L14 and L15 Gen 1.
