![]() ![]() Because previous meta-analyses provided conflicting results, we sought to review all available data focusing on cell type and trial design. However, its effectiveness in the clinical setting is now doubted. Besides providing a large amount of structured quantitative data, the results of our work indicate that: (1) research on the demand for low-carbon technology related metals has received much attention since the 2010s (2) around 80% of the publications focus on the global level while national level studies are underrepresented (3) science-based future scenarios are the main means of estimating total future material requirements (4) most studies foresee material constraints of large-scale implementation of low-carbon technologies and the secure and responsible supply of these materials is still the subject of discussion (5) changes in metal intensity caused by technological development and material requirements for non-critical components are important though often overlooked.Ĭell-based therapy has long been considered a promising strategy for the treatment of heart failure (HF). We conducted a quantitative review of the material requirements of low-carbon energy technologies in 132 scientific publications, and provided a comparative analysis of detailed data including material intensity and lifetime data. In this study we provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of existing work in this field, a solid quantitative baseline for material requirements of different energy technologies and quantitative information that can be used to generate learning curves for the material requirements of different energy technologies. The surge in demand for metals related to emerging energy technologies may hinder the energy transition. ![]() At last, several suggestions to improve the efficiency of PV/T system were discussed.ĭeployment of clean energy technologies will require a considerable amount of materials. There is an optimal water flow rate at which the efficiencies are at the maximum. It was found that both thermal and electrical efficiencies are fluctuating with time. The effects of the time-steps from 1 hour to 1 minute, which is closed to the real time, were also reported at various conditions. Simulation results were found to agree with the experimental data very well. The thermal and electrical models were solved simultaneously to predict the transient energy conversion efficiencies of the PV/T system. Secondly, a computational electrical model of PV/T system, coupled with the thermal model, was also introduced to elaborate the relationship of voltage, current and power of a PV module (MSX60 poly-crystalline solar cell) used in an experiment in the literature. In order to improve the transient performance of photovoltaic/thermal (or PV/T for simplicity) collectors, this paper firstly developed and validated a computational thermal model to investigate the effects of the major control parameters on the thermal performance of PV/T collectors, including inlet water temperature and inlet water flow rate. ![]()

![]() One of the most compelling parts of the global map is the signature of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) pattern in the Pacific Ocean (right and left ends of the global map). At the same time, Antarctic sea ice there has been increasing slightly each year. Around the South Pole, reflectivity is down around West Antarctica and up slightly in parts of East Antarctica, but there is no net gain or loss. At the North Pole, reflectivity decreased markedly, a result of the declining sea ice on the Arctic Ocean and increasing dust and soot on top of the ice. In the maps at the top of the page, however, some regional patterns emerge. As noted in the anomaly plot below, global albedo rose and fell in different years, but did not necessarily head in either direction for long. Taken across the planet, no significant global trend appears. Shades of blue mark areas that reflected more sunlight over time (increasing albedo), and orange areas denote less reflection (lower albedo). This global picture of reflectivity (also called albedo) appears to be a muddle, with different areas reflecting more or less sunlight over the 12-year record. The maps above show how the reflectivity of Earth-the amount of sunlight reflected back into space-changed between March 1, 2000, and December 31, 2011. Using satellite measurements accumulated since the late 1970s, scientists estimate Earth’s average albedo is about about 0.30. ![]() ![]() Changes in ice cover, cloudiness, airborne pollution, or land cover (from forest to farmland, for instance) all have subtle effects on global albedo. ![]() On the other hand, if Earth was covered by a dark green forest canopy, the albedo would be about 0.14 (most of the sunlight would get absorbed). If Earth was completely covered in ice, its albedo would be about 0.84, meaning it would reflect most (84 percent) of the sunlight that hit it. The last remaining CERES instrument will fly on the JPSS-1 satellite, and a follow-on, the Radiation Budget Instrument (RBI), will fly on JPSS-2. The first CERES went into space in 1997 on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, and three more have gone up on Terra, Aqua, and Suomi-NPP. The instruments use scanning radiometers to measure both the shortwave solar energy reflected by the planet (albedo) and the longwave thermal energy emitted by it. Is more energy being absorbed by Earth than is being lost to space? If so, what happens to the excess energy?įor seventeen years, scientists have been examining this balance sheet with a series of space-based sensors known as Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System, or CERES. Exactly how much sunlight is absorbed depends on the reflectivity of the atmosphere and the surface.Īs scientists work to understand why global temperatures are rising and how carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are changing the climate system, they have been auditing Earth’s energy budget. About one-third of that energy is reflected back into space, and the remaining 240 watts per square meter is absorbed by land, ocean, and atmosphere. Averaged over the entire planet, roughly 340 watts per square meter of energy from the Sun reach Earth. Sunlight is the primary driver of Earth’s climate and weather. ![]() ![]() ![]() While some scammers explicitly let the customers know what they are getting into, others impersonate brands and sell counterfeit products by claiming they are in fact original. ![]() Scammers can also use Telegram channels to sell counterfeits of products.

There have also been instances where scammers have created bots impersonating tech support or customer support from companies. Scammers use Telegram bots to pose as representatives of banks and other big companies to trick users. Telegram bots use AI and natural language processing to initiate conversations which can make it all the harder for users to identify when they are being scammed. Telegram allows businesses to use its bots feature in order to engage in conversations with end users. But to receive these free prizes or gifts, users are asked to provide their personal data, and banking information, or pay up a ‘small fee.’ Phishing through Telegram bots Scammers on Telegram may also offer free prizes, giveaways, and sweepstakes for different cryptocurrencies.

But many Telegram scammers have been taking advantage of this feature to create fake accounts/copycat channels and trick users into a false sense of security. Telegram’s ability to support large groups and channels is the reason why most people sign up on the app. Some of the common scams on Telegram can include: Fake Telegram groups and channels ![]() The scams on Telegram can range from traditional phishing attacks to sophisticated frauds where bad actors impersonate businesses or genuine customer support agents. All you need to create a new account on Telegram is a mobile number and there is no other verification done. Scammers flock to Telegram because of its wide user base and also because the app is free to use. Telegram scams are fraud schemes that either take place on the Telegram app itself or focus on getting users off the app and into a suspicious third-party website, possibly impersonating a business. While Telegram does take prompt steps to shut down scams and frauds, it cannot always proactively remove scammers from the platform unless they are reported because of the sheer number of users on the platform. Its support for over 58 languages has made Telegram a preferred way to communicate for people across many countries. Unlike WhatsApp which is owned by Facebook now, Telegram doesn’t have any direct connection to big social media giants which makes the messaging service even more appealing to many.Īvailable on multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, and Linux, it can also be accessed through a web browserįounded by Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov, Telegram is free to use for anyone.

Between November 1884 and February 1885, the members of the Berlin Conference divided Africa – without any input from Africans, of course – into many of the separate territories we know today. ![]() With Britain, Spain, and France having (mostly) been driven out of their former empires in North and South America, the relatively unexplored continent of Africa was a prime target for territorial and economic conquest. In 1884, thirteen European nations met in Berlin, capital of the new Germany, to establish rules for the division of Africa. These two new nations looked to compete with the established European powers, Britain and France, for power, prestige, and colonies in Africa. After decades of internal conflicts, Germany and Italy had become unified nation-states as opposed to blocs of small, independent states. In the late 1800s, however, a unified Germany emerged as a new power.

You inflict pain by hurting everyone and everything in your path to satisfy your apetites and primal instincts The life of luxury and walking on rugs sewn from the skins of martyrs was not for you though, and so you have chosen a life in the wilderness. By raising his new empire from the corpses of sinners, the new king, along with his new queen – you – managed to control the chaos left by former rulers. With the disappearance of the legitimate rulers of Hell, the remaining demons recognized Nimrod as their ruler, because he was the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. You are the Succubus – a wild and lustful demon who rejected the role of the queen of the infernal abyss. Regain your kingdom making hell tremble under your hooves!

I thought to myself, hmm "is this what a woman feels like when she has an orgasm?" She replied, "not quite but close." She said I did release but it was my astral body that released and at that time, I did not know what she was talking about. By that time, I did not have any urge to physically release myself, I felt released already from the body orgasm. It was the best feeling I had ever experienced in my whole life. My whole body orgasmed including my rod and scrotum. Don't get me wrong, I did release but I did not see anything, nada. After what seemed like a minute, I finally released but.It wasn't physical. That was when I started to feel a burst coming from my rod, as it spasmed harder and faster. She then told me "do not worry, let me handle it." It got to the point where I just wanted to do a physical release for myself. We took breaks here and there for me to recuperate as it got more and more intense. This eventually went on all the way until 5 in the morning. Heck, this was as physical as it gets, just everything was invisible, even the liquids. A better feeling to be exact, one that is the same but also defeats a physical oyster. It seemed somewhat like a real oyster that my rod was penetrating but also a different kind of feeling. The feeling was indescribable, it was not of this world. "Darling, you called and I came", was what she said. She laughed I thought to myself again, I must be going Schizophrenic. I told her that all I see is my rod having a spasm with a moist sensation going in and out of an invisible oyster. So when I raised my head up to look at my shining rod, I literally saw my rod moving back and forth like it was having a spasm. It felt like liquid was dripping down my rod. To be honest, I was enjoying it way too much. She giggled again and said "no you're not, this is actually happening to you right now, so just relax and try not to think about it too much". I asked myself again, "man, I must be going nuts". It was an electrical feeling but also somewhat physical. My rod felt like it was slowly slipping inside an invisible moist oyster. I heard her giggle again and she then told me to "Get Ready Playboy". Instantly, I was aroused and hard like a rock. ![]() Then it happened, my rod felt like it was held by her hand and rubbed back and forth on her what seems like her oyster.

But the issue I have with the menu screen of NHL 21 being virtually the same is that it looks clunky, and feels that way too. Introducing black as one of the main menu colors really creates the feel of a hockey rink hours before a big game, and the green seems to pair well with the black. ![]() Now, this color combination fits the game quite well. Except this time it was neon green and black instead of blue and orange. Upon loading up the game, I was greeted by the main menu. Personally, being a massive fan of hockey and thus the NHL series, I bought this game the same day it came out and played it pretty consistently for a few weeks. And while the new moves on their own generated a lot of excitement for NHL 21, it was multiplied with the announcement of a revamped Be a Pro mode, where the player could create a custom character and play through a simulated professional hockey career, which for years had been a great concept that was poorly executed. There would be several new dekes, or moves, the most notable of which being the legendary Michigan spin. This time, it looked like there would be monumental changes to the game’s core mechanics. 24th, EA Sports released the trailer for the latest installment of the NHL series, NHL 21. In other words, the NHL series has been EA’s malnourished cash-calf, and for a while now fans of the series have been slowly losing interest due to feeling as though they are buying the same game repeatedly. For many years, EA Sports’ NHL, or National Hockey League, video game series has proven to be nothing more than a traditional sports game that is overshadowed by the giants that are the Madden and NBA 2K games. ![]() ![]() ![]() We have been given this artistic gift to be the gatekeepers of our heritage and culture.

It had to end,” she says to Ray after a devastating final development that may seem to signal that this traumatic familial cycle has finally been broken. ![]() Seriously, does Ray ever sit down and eat?Ī young widow, Bridget somehow retained her sanity and humanity through a tumultuous childhood. Shifting its location to New York City, it’s a wonder that Ray has yet to willingly find a permanent resting place in the East River, with his family alongside him, given his interminable will to dive into the deepest of ends, in the darkest of nights, using his shrewdness to clean up one hellish mess after another, seemingly subsisting only on serviceable scotch and coffee. He’s destined to put others in harm’s way. He’s aware and tries to be anything but like his father, yet the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Like his relationship with his father, Ray’s relationship with his daughter is just as complicated. In Ray’s universe, every action he takes has reverberating effects, and the people closest to him feel them the most, most especially his daughter Bridget (Kerris Dorsey), who plays a crucial role in bringing the finale to a close. For long-time fans of the series, how you suspected it would end, is exactly how it ends painful and conflicted. In what effectively becomes a showdown between fatalism and nihilism, one has to be eliminated. Nearly half of Americans have a family member or close friend who is an addict, so it’s possible that we empathize with Mickey because we see ourselves in him, and we want to be better, and do better.īut we also want Ray to win, while recognizing that in this dynamic, both of them simply can’t exist harmoniously. Mickey drinks Ray drinks his brothers drink, burying their pain and struggle in addiction. It’s not a coincidence that alcohol abuse is itself a character in the series. Maybe he reflects a failure in all of us a flaw we acknowledge but are powerless to do anything about. The audience roots for him and wants him to win. He understands the shitty hand that he’s been dealt, and he plays the hell out of it. It would be easy to hate him, but his love of life is palpable. There’s a streak in Mickey that suggests he cares for his children. Yet the character is painted in a way that engenders empathy. He is a “piece of shit” father Mickey knows this and has accepted it. It’s titled “Ray Donovan,” but it may as well be called “Ray & Mickey,” because Voight’s performance is every bit as responsible for the series’ thump. That pretty much sums up their volatile relationship, and yet, now as grown men, one just can’t seem to exist without the other. “You always were a piece of shit,” a young Ray confronts his drunken father, and they throw punches at each other. Through a series of flashback sequences (there are several of them in the movie) with Christopher Gray as the young Ray and Bill Heck having tons of fun as Mickey, Ray’s childhood is continually fleshed out, and the movie answers dangling questions about this long-running story of tumultuous familial drama. Picking up where the seventh season’s cliffhanger ended, Mickey is on the run, and Ray is determined to find him before everyone else does, while his brothers Terry (Eddie Marsan), Bunchy (Dash Mihok), and Daryll (Pooch Hall) juggle the usual existential inquiries and a past from which they never seem able to run. Oscars 2023: Best Original Song Predictions Paramount+ Prices Are Going Up After Showtime Merger 'Party Down' Season 3 Struggles to Recapture Its Cavalier Spirit Liev Schreiber plays Ray Donovan as a scruffy, taciturn presence who is up against an equally unrelenting force in his ex-con father, Mickey, played by Jon Voight, a paralyzing, unpredictable, but oddly lovable character audiences can’t help but root for, which says something about the writing, casting, and performances. The series’ drumbeat is a toxic father-son relationship. But material trappings can’t completely mask a pain that stems from childhood trauma that haunts him through seven seasons, and now a movie finale made mostly for diehard fans. That’s because Ray is great at what he does. He always sparkles in his sharp blazers and crisp, white, Dolce and Gabbana shirts that get bloodied so that yours don’t have to, for a considerable fee of course. That said, for newbies to the “Ray Donovan” universe adventurous enough to enter it for the first time via its movie finale, the title character is a fixer for the elite the invisible and invincible man who makes expensive problems disappear. It’s nearly impossible to discuss Showtime’s “ Ray Donovan: The Movie” without giving away key plot points. ![]() ![]() ![]() And whether those are visible wounds or invisible wounds, that still hurts.
