HOW DOES VAR TECHNOLOGY CHANGE FOOTBALL? (PART 2)

In 2018, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga tournaments pioneered the use of this new technology. Champions League will also follow from season 2019-2020. “I like VAR, because referees always have to make difficult decisions. We should welcome anything that can help the referee’s job become more convenient, ”said Cristiano Ronaldo.

Thanks to VAR, MU scored the opening goal against Reading. The referee Stuart Attwell relied on the support of VAR technology to determine penalty situations for United and Juan Mata opened the scoring from a penalty of 11m.

Thanks to VAR, Brazil’s Neymar player’s scowl failed. On the contrary, it was also criticized for ignoring the mistake in the Swiss player’s goal in the Brazilian net, or when the referee does not penalize Harry Kane for being knocked down by the Tunisia defender in the penalty area.

The application of VAR in tournaments creates many different views. The contribution of technology brings more fairness and transparency in modern football, but it also changes the way fans enjoy football. In 2017, for the first time, VAR was introduced and applied in the FA Cup. It was quickly blamed for destroying a “beautiful game” by both players and management.

Many people believe that VAR ruins football, reduces the attractiveness of the match. In the original football, emotions, the drama was worth more than any other controversial technology. For example, in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and England, fans still remember the “Hand of God” with Diego Maradona‘s hand goal.

Meanwhile, the Argentine legend supports the use of technology to review VAR situations in football. “Such a goal will not be recognized today thanks to the technology to review the situation. Many people think that technology is annoying, wasting time. But many other sports have applied technology for a long time and benefited. Why is football impossible? “Maradona said when asked about VAR.

The Asian Football Federation (AFC) also decided to apply VAR technology to matches from the Quarter-finals at the Asian Cup continental championship. “Asian football is determined to embrace technology for the sake of football. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, we have directly seen VAR operate. Obviously, AFC needs to invest in infrastructure to ensure the system works effectively, “AFC President, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa shared on September 27.

Artificial steak beef: Breakthrough becomes a solution for vegetarians because they do not want to kill?

Now, we can even create solid meat in the laboratory, not just pure meats. Each piece of meat we eat is the muscles of the animal. But animals don’t just have meat.

A cow, for example, has organs and bones – the majority of countries in the world refuse to consume. From the perspective of environmentalists, cattle need food, water, space, energy consumption, and create a large amount of waste – which causes a significant impact on the environment.

More importantly, these are all living animals, and this makes many people choose to become vegetarian because they do not want to kill.

So will it be easier for us to be able to create the right human flesh without leaving waste, nor need to kill any creature? That’s when cell biotechnology comes in, with the potential to create only muscle and fat bundles. They are called “cultured-meat“.

Basic structure of meat

If you look at the piece of meat you still eat under the microscope, you will see that it is a very complex structure – matrix of muscle cells and fat, mixing with blood vessels and connective tissues.

A basic piece of meat has fat, muscle, blood vessels and connective tissue. Muscle cells contain protein, fat is fat. Combined, they create the flavor for each piece of meat you still eat. Meanwhile, blood vessels and connective tissues make it a structure.

A piece of meat needs all four elements, and that is the challenge for biotechnology. Scientists have to make a piece of meat that is full of complexity to be truly valuable, and appear on the market.

Science can create muscle and fat in the laboratory, but blood vessels and connective tissues can only grow in a living organism. So, the meats created so far have only the puree that can be used in burgers, not yet able to get a complete piece of beef.

Ford Explorer is upgraded with a range of luxury amenities (part 1)

Ford Explorer has gradually become the top choice in the luxury 7-seater SUV segment. The current version of Explorer owns many necessary upgrades to maintain the attraction of customers. Those are improvements in interior and exterior to bring more comfortable and luxurious experience.

In terms of exteriors, the new version of Ford Explorer has a new pair of headlights including LED-type near-illuminated lamps as standard equipment. Clamping between the pair of headlamps is a more compact grille than before with more modern meshes. The final highlight on the front of the car is a pair of LED fog lamps with a sleeker and more modern design than the previous C-type lamps.

The body part did not change much from the previous version. The car has a square design and looks great with straight lines throughout the body. This type of design is reminiscent of expensive Range Rover. The most obvious change in the body is the 20-inch wheels that are more luxurious than the old one. Similarly, the tail retains a square design with a bold American feel.

Entering the cabin, Ford applied a scientific, practical but equally luxurious layout to Explorer with decorative details as well as premium leather and wood materials. The space in 3 rows of seats is very wide for all 7 people with a height of 1m65 – 1m7 with full air-conditioning doors for the position on the car. All seating positions are leather-covered, legroom and the ceiling space is reasonably allocated for seven passengers. The top electric seats, inflatable backrests, and even three-level massage capability.

The dashboard area is shaped symmetrically and seamlessly, the modern center console with 8-inch touch screen runs Sync 3. The occupants can activate seat cooling/heating features for the driver’s seat and passenger seat next to them. The standard infotainment system from Ford is almost perfect with high-end Sony audio systems, DVD players, exclusive SYNC®3 systems with voice control capability, plus USB connection/Bluetooth and SD memory card.

HOW DOES VAR TECHNOLOGY CHANGE FOOTBALL? (PART 1)

VAR has been tested in the UK, Germany, Italy … but only really attracted attention when officially applied in the World Cup 2018.

VAR stands for Video Assistant Referee. The camera system will be installed around the yard or on the stands to record the situations in the match.

When the ball is still rolling on the field, the assistants sitting away from the stadium will watch videos that slow down the situations just happened. Through wireless headsets, they communicate with the referee, giving their advice about any incidents that can change a match. As a rule, VAR only supports arbitration in four areas: a goal is scored, there is a chance of a foul, a red card and a case of misidentification of the player.

VAR is essentially a technology that helps referees make decisions, but cannot completely replace grassy kings. The final decision is still made by the referee. This technology avoids unnecessary controversy, such as a goal not recognized in the match against England in the 2010 World Cup. When a team complains about a certain situation, or the referee feels uncertain. When making a decision, VAR will also be used to detect offside, shirt pull, collision …

The penalty is the area which VAR is most used because it helps the referee give correct penalty decision. According to SkySports statistics, with VAR’s presence, the Russia-held tournament is the World Cup season has a record of penalties as well as the highest scoring rate from fixed situations. Specifically, a total of 22 penalties were taken in 64 matches, while the previous record was only 18 in 1990, 1998 and 2002.

Although it was first applied at last year’s World Cup, VAR has often become the key technology. In the match between Portugal and Spain, Diego Costa’s goal became the first in World Cup history to be recognized under the help of VAR.

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has said it will carry out the latest test flight series to evaluate new technologies designed to address the challenges that aircraft operators and passengers are facing from improving safety and sustainability to improving flight experience.

“This is the latest series of tests that are part of our ecoDemonstrator program. In this program, we look at ways to help crew and passengers get a better flight experience and how to use technology to make flights safer, more efficient and more enjoyable. Using Boeing 777 to fly test allows us to capture faster and thereby offer solutions that improve much faster with greater accuracy in determining their value, ”said Mike. Sinnett, Executive Vice President of the Future Aircraft Product and Development Strategy, belongs to Boeing’s Commercial Aircraft division.

boeing

The technologies tested in this year’s ecoDemonstrator program include: Sharing digital information between the air traffic control station, the cockpit and the airline’s operating center to optimize efficiency and safety in the introduction of flight routes; Application of electronic flight documents using new generation communication techniques to automatically provide pilots with rerout routes information when weather conditions are guaranteed.

The connection technology in the passenger compartment helps the kitchen and bathroom become smart, while monitoring the conditions in the passenger compartment such as temperature, humidity to automatically make appropriate adjustments; Cameras help passengers observe the landscape outside the plane.

Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator program was included in the first aerial test in 2012. The five aircraft – 737-800, 787-8 Dreamliner, 757, Embraer E170 and 777 Freighter – have already tested 112 technologies since then until 2018.

More than one third of the technology has been put into practice by Boeing or its partners. Nearly half were maintained for improvement, and testing on the remaining projects was halted after completing the research process.

OPPO officially launched the smartphone with hidden camera

Starting a few years ago, smartphone manufacturers started racing to increase the rate of the display and narrow the borders around. Since then a lot of new designs have been released, which started out as Essential Phone with the screen only having a small slot in the center for camera selfie.

We have seen that the selfie camera structure is stuck, rotated 180 degrees and swivel, or even a fish-like design. Samsung seems to be a pioneering smartphone company when it wants to bring the camera down below the screen, but the design of Infinity-O still leaves a hole that is considered a “mole”.

Today, a smartphone with the most perfect design ever released. At Shanghai MWC 2019, OPPO introduced a camera with a camera hidden completely below the screen, this is the first design and technology launched in the world.

The smartphone possesses a display with no grooves or holes, nor any mechanical structure. The selfie camera is hidden on the bottom of the screen, but it is still able to capture the light on the internal sensor, thereby capturing the image as a regular selfie camera.

OPPO revealed the display was made of a transparent material, the pixel structure was also redesigned so that light could penetrate. This screen area can still display and manipulate the touch as usual. But when the selfie feature is activated, the screen area becomes transparent.

However, at this event, OPPO only exhibited a prototype, and no actual product to experience. OPPO said it has just started studying this new technology since 2017 and officially embarked on a prototype prototype in May 2018. There is still a lot to do to launch a complete smartphone. good.

OPPO acknowledges that the quality of photos taken with a selfie camera hidden under the screen will be worse than usual. There are many effects that affect the image quality, such as the screen being blurred and the colors are not realistic. OPPO is researching more algorithms to handle and increase image quality.

OPPO did not say when the smartphone was officially launched and produced in large quantities. However, this is still a big technological step, showing that future smartphone designs can completely change and become really perfect.
