Man City signs Brazilian defender Vitor Reis for $36 million

by

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City signed a second defender in two days by confirming on Tuesday the acquisition of Vitor Reis, a 19-year-old Brazilian. Reis arrives from Palmeiras after a payment of 35 million euros (36 million dollars). Abdukodir Khusanov, Uzbek defender for Lens in France, signed with City on Monday for four and a half years. The length of Reis’s contract was not provided. “When there was a knock on the door and it was Manchester City, I knew there was nowhere else to go,” Reis was quoted as saying by the club. “I think it will be the biggest challenge of my life, but any player who wants to play elite football has to come here.” “Everyone has seen the incredible achievements of the last few seasons. “I want to leave my mark as we look for more titles,” he added. The champions of the last four Premier League seasons have been very active in the January transfer market after an alarming poor run of form before Christmas. City is fifth in the standings, 12 points behind leader Liverpool. Those led by Pep Guardiola are also suffering to qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League. Another player in their sights is Omar Marmoush, Egyptian striker for Eintracht Frankfurt. According to press reports, the operation could cost 75 million euros (77 million dollars). Reis played in the 2023 U17 World Cup with Brazil and played 22 games in the Palmeiras first team. “Vitor Reis is one of the most promising young defenders in the world and we are delighted to have been able to bring him here,” said City director of football Txiki Begiristain. “He is excellent with the ball and outstanding in the air. “He has all the necessary qualities to be one of the best.” The signings of Reis and Khusanov, also a centre-back, come after injuries to several City defenders, including Ruben Dias, John Stones and Nathan Ake. The most important injury has been the one suffered by Spanish midfielder Rodri Hernández. The Ballon d’Or winner will miss the rest of the season after damaging the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee. Guardiola recently admitted that his squad was not deep enough to cope with the schedule. Traditionally, City have preferred to close big signings for the summer months, but Guardiola has chosen to bring in reinforcements now. City will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday, with both teams in danger of being eliminated.

The renaissance of nuclear energy is underway. And the microreactors are preparing to give it a boost

by

The physicists and engineers involved in the development of fourth generation nuclear fission reactors They are working to propose new designs that conceptually may be very different from those of previous generations. Of course, the requirements that these new nuclear power plants must meet are clearly defined. The first of them consists of achieving the maximum possible sustainability, so that the fuel is used to the maximum to produce energy, the amount of radioactive waste resulting from the process is minimized and its management is as efficient as possible. The second requirement concerns the economic investment that must be made to start up and maintain the nuclear power plant, which must be as low as possible so that it can be compared to the expenditure required by other sources of energy, thus reducing the risk. financial. And the third and final requirement stipulates that safety and reliability must be high enough to minimize the probability of damage to the reactor core. Besides, if an accident occurred It should not be necessary to take emergency measures beyond the nuclear power plant facilities. Westinghouse and Radiant working on the world’s smallest reactors The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published a very detailed report in September 2024 entitled “Energy, electricity and nuclear power estimates for the period up to 2050”. In it, it analyzes the short and medium-term future of nuclear energy and delves into its role as a means of generating electricity that can contribute to the achievement of global climate objectives. However, the most interesting thing is that this organization predicts that global nuclear power will increase by 2.5 by 2050. Microreactors use uranium-based isotropic tristructural particles as fuel Compact and modular nuclear reactors play a crucial role in achieving that vision, but microreactors will also likely play a very important role. As their name indicates, they are compact and modular nuclear reactors much smaller than conventional fission machines. As we can predict, they produce less energy than the latter, usually 50 megawatts or lessbut thanks to their size they can be installed in remote places where it is not possible to set up a traditional nuclear power plant. However, nuclear microreactors have more advantages. On the one hand, its installation is relatively simple and much faster than that of conventional reactors. In addition, they do not require large water cooling systems, they operate in an automated manner and their maintenance is simpler than that of a traditional nuclear plant. And, interestingly, the eVinci and Kaleidos microreactors being developed by the American companies Westinghouse and Radiant use uranium-based tristructural isotropic particles (TRISO) as fuel. The particles of this fuel are the size of a poppy seed and contain uranium, carbon and oxygen encapsulated in a carbon-ceramic shell that is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. On paper this nuclear fuel is the most robust ever developed to date. An interesting note: Radiant uses helium as a coolant, while Westinghouse uses a passive heat duct system. These two companies have the financial support of the US Department of Energy (DOE) and plan to place their microreactors on the market in 2030 as long as, of course, they obtain a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

At the beginning of the year, the possibility of the Korean company applying a significant increase in the price of the Galaxy S25 series. A small scare that in the end will come to nothing, since this game of bringing some prices or others to different regions, at least in Spain and Europe it will not affect the user who wants to purchase one of their mobile phones. These leaks were based on the increased manufacturing costs of the new Galaxy S25 series, so an increase in the series with the best specifications of the Korean company could be partly understood. It seems that Samsung’s proposal is to reduce the profit margin for each unit sold so that the new user of its Galaxy S25 does not assume them. Which means that Samsung is going to go behind its back the increase in the cost of production of its new mobile phones. A crucial moment for the manufacturer, since the new series will arrive with an important renewal in the hardware specifications as will happen in the software with One UI 7 and additions like the Now Bar on the lock screen.

The Galaxy S24 was launched at 909 euros, while the Galaxy S24+ started at 1,159 euros and the S24 Ultra at 1,479 euros. It is unknown if the prices are from Germany or another country European, since they tend to fluctuate somewhat, although not much, so it fits perfectly and it can be said that Samsung leaves everything as it was for the next Galaxy S25 that will be presented this Wednesday at Galaxy Unpacked. In just over 48 hours the doubts will be cleared up. Evan Blass The Free Android A series that will not be missing anything and that will arrive again with AI as its flag and the great protagonist to achieve new goals in the user experience; which the Korean company announced a few days ago to anticipate the arrival of its trio of smartphones with One UI 7 as another of the big releases based on Android 15.

by

He real Madrid It is the football club that generates the most income on the entire planet. This is what he reveals the 28th edition of the report Football Money League prepared by Deloitte, which compares the emoluments that the teams earned during the last 2023/2024 season. The white club already published last summer that it had managed to exceed 1,000 million euros for the first time in its history, a record figure that made it the first club in the world to reach this stratospheric figure. Now, this latest report from Deloitte confirms that Real Madrid is, for the second consecutive year, the football team that generates the most income in the world. The champion of the Champions League and of The League He earned 1,045.5 million euros, that is, 25.8% more than the 831.4 he earned in the previous year. The completion of the renovation works of the Santiago Bernabéu caused revenue per match day to double, reaching €248 million. The club also recorded a 19% increase in commercial revenue (from €403 million to €482 million), driven by higher merchandising volumes and new sponsorships. He Manchester City maintains second place in the ranking. The citizens They are the English club with the highest income (837.8 million in turnover compared to 825.9 in 2022/23, 1.4% more), once again surpassing their own income record in a season. On the other hand, Juventus experienced the biggest drop in the ranking (356 million euros) and fell from 11th to 16th place, its lowest position in the history of the Football Money League report. Barça, from fourth to sixth He Football Club Barcelona It also lost power in the ranking of the clubs that generated the most income last season. The culés resent the work at the Camp Nou, and the fact of having to play in Montjuic It continues to take its toll on the cash register. The culés passed from fourth to sixth place and achieved a turnover of 760.3 million euros, compared to the 800.1 achieved in the 2022/2023 season, which represented a 5% reduction in income. The drop of 63 million euros in revenue per match day is largely to blame. Joan Laporta, in a press conference with FC Barcelona EFE For his part, the Atlético de Madridtwelfth in this earnings table, achieved revenues of 409.5 million euros, 12.5% ​​more than the 364.1 million registered in the previous season. Commercial and match day revenues are growing the most in these clubs, 11% year-on-year and 10% driven mainly by an increase in the organization of live events not linked to football. Finally, there was no increase in sports broadcasting income (4.3 billion euros) reported by the clubs since each of the five major European leagues were subject to the same television broadcasting contracts as the previous season.

The craziest Galaxy S25 accessory is this Crocs case

by

Although the protagonists of Unpacked of Samsung have been the new Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, the accessories that accompany this new family of smartphones They have also given a lot to talk about; above all, one in particular. The company has put different covers on sale very striking, compatible with the aforementioned models. But there is one that has stood out much more than the rest: one that, literally, It’s shaped like Crocs. Yes, we are talking about the iconic sneakers manufactured by the company of the same name. In fact, if you look at the images, the case even has the brand logo. Specifically, the crazy Crocs case for the Samsung Galaxy S25 It is the result of a collaboration between both companiesand although it makes the phone considerably thicker, heavier and more annoying to carry in your pocket, the truth is that it is a very interesting case due to the incredible details it has. To start, the Crocs case for the Galaxy S25 It has the classic back strap to support the footwhich in this case serves to improve the grip of the mobile phone. It also has the classic holes that the original Crocs include for foot ventilation. It is even possible to attach the classic pins that many users put on Crocs, since they have exactly the same thickness. On the other hand, the sides of the case have a kind of relief similar to that of Crocs. And, of course, it also has spaces for the S-Pen, or the USB-C port. This is the Galaxy S25 case that imitates one of the best functions of the iPhone In parallel, Samsung has presented another interesting case with a technology that we have been seeing in the iPhone for years. It is a case that allows the Galaxy S25 to have a system similar to MagSafe. That is, a magnetic mechanism in which it is possible to place accessories, such as a wallet. The cover is quite subtle; It has a transparent back with a central magnetized area and black sides. In any case, it is strange that Samsung opts for a specific case to include a magnetic system, taking into account that the new Qi standard for wireless charging of smartphones also supports the magnetic mechanism. Samsung, however, has not implemented this standard, which requires the use of this accessory if the user wants to attach a wallet. It is a disadvantage compared to the iPhone if we take into account that Apple includes it in its models in the chassis itself, and that it allows other accessories to be attached, such as batteries or supports.

by

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers announced on Wednesday their agreement with sought-after Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki by agreeing to a minor league contract with a signing bonus of $6.5 million. A 23-year-old right-hander with a fastball that tops 100 mph, Sasaki announced his intention to sign with the Dodgers on Friday and was introduced at a news conference Wednesday at Dodger Stadium. He joins Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Dodgers after making a decision that had generated much expectation. Sasaki had until Thursday to finalize a contract. He was considered an international amateur under Major League Baseball rules because he is under 25 years old and does not have six years of service in Japan, which restricted him to the pool of international signings.

Los Angeles is contemplating using a six-starting rotation, which could ease Sasaki’s transition to the majors. The Dodgers are trying to become the first team to repeat as champion since the New York Yankees from 1998 to 2000. Sasaki was made available to major league teams for a 45-day period by the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Pacific League under the bidding agreement between Japan Professional Baseball and the majors. Because he is under 25 years old and does not have six years of Japanese league service time, Sasaki is considered an international amateur by MLB and is limited to a minor league contract subject to signing funds. The Marines will receive $1,625,000, 25% of Sasaki’s signing bonus amount. During a news conference at the winter meetings last month, Sasaki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, denied that a deal was already in place with the Dodgers. Wolfe said MLB had investigated. Sasaki went 10-5 with a 2.35 ERA in 18 games last year, striking out 129 batters in 111 innings during a season limited by shoulder inflammation. He went 7-4 with a 1.78 ERA in 15 starts in 2023, when he suffered an oblique injury. Over his career, he is 29-15 with a 2.10 ERA over four seasons with the Marines and pitched a perfect game against Orix in April 2022. Among international amateur free agents, Los Angeles also agreed to deals with Venezuelan infielders Luis Tovar ($397,500) and Moisés Acacio ($197,500), Panamanian left-handed pitcher Adrián Torres ($362,500) and Colombian shortstop Luis Luna ($137,500). .

The code names of the four phones in the series are leaked

by

The Pixel 10 have been leaking some details to get closer to next summer in which its launch is expected, since last year Google brought forward the presentation date of the Pixel 9. An internal Google source has shared certain documents that confirm the Pixel 11 codenames which will be released next year. A leak that skips the next Google devices this year, since the first that would be presented is the Pixel 9a to replace the Pixel 8a last year launched in Spainand then the Pixel 10 series for its launch next summer as the station of choice for the technology giant. The internal source has given some documents to Android Authority and thus know the code names that are usually of unique animal species. For example, for the Pixel 11 the denominator theme is going to be the bear, and it is not at all something new for Google use certain names according to a theme; For older versions of Android it always used dessert names like KitKat (Android 4.4), Lollipop (Android 5.0) or Marshmallow (Android 6.0). Each of the mobile phones that make up the Pixel 11 series, and which is surprising for still being four models so that the folding mobile follow another of the protagonistshave their only name as one of the most dangerous subspecies and animals on the planet, the grizzly bear: Pixel 11: “cubs” or “4CS4”. Pixel 11 Pro: “grizzly” or “CGY4”. Pixel 11 Pro XL: “kodiak” or “PKK4”. Pixel 11 Pro Fold: “yogi” or “9y14”. Pixel 9 Pro Chema Flores The Free Android The references are more than clear and “cubs” are for bear cubs, while “grizzly” for one of the subspecies that lives in North America and “kodiak” for the Alaskan brown bear. The last one is “yogi”, inspired by the mythical cartoon character that for so many decades entertained so many generations. Android Authorirty has given more details and it is about the chip that each of the Pixel 11 series models will use: the G6 tensioner with the code name “malibu”. All four will launch sometime in the second half of 2026, so there is a lot of room to maneuver to continue with the same 2024 strategy or make some changes. The Pixel 10a would be another of the protagonists 2026 and its code name is also known: “stallion” or “STA5”. This mobile phone is in a very early stage of development and according to what it maintains Android Authority According to Google, it is considering bringing a completely customized Tensor G5 to the mid-range mobile or staying with the chip designed by Samsung, the Tensor G4. The reason for passing G5 tensioner It would be due to its larger size, since it measures much larger than itself. Apple A18 Prowhich would increase its production cost and possible price; leaked just in autumn 2024. The ideal would be a custom Tensor G6 chip, although it would be quite complicated since the Pixel 10a is launched before the Pixel 11. There is a lot left for these devices and the next one would be the Pixel 9a for the month of March, which will arrive to break some of the patterns that Google has been accustoming the user to, and be a different mobile phone in specifications compared to its older brothers; The previous Pixel 8a and 7a did not represent a big change in the experience according to their specifications.
