Buriram's foreign legion ready to strike in defence
The new season of Thai League 1 will kick off on Aug 15 with Ratchaburi taking on newcomers Kanchanaburi Power in the curtain-raiser. Ratchaburi will host the opening game at 7pm. Buriram United will kick off the defence of their title with an away game the next day at Lamphun Warriors. Runners-up Bangkok United will host Rayong at BG Stadium on Aug 17, while BG Pathum United will visit the Sam Ao Stadium to play PT Prachuap. Port are scheduled to host newly promoted Ayutthaya United on the same day. Meanwhile, Buriram unveiled their six new foreign signings on Tuesday. Leading the cast of the Thunder Castle's new foreign stars is Robert Bauer, who won a silver medal with the German national team at the 2016 Olympic Games. Serbian Fejsal Mulic, who has played in the Bundesliga for 1860 Munich, Spanish forward Juan Ibiza, former Red Star Belgrade winger Filip Stojkovic of Serbia, Nemanja Nikolic, also from Serbia, and Austrian midfielder Robert Zulj, who has played in Bundesliga for Bochum and Union Berlin, are the other five players. Meanwhile, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) has appointed former deputy finance minister Kritsada Chinavicharana and ex-deputy national police chief Pol Gen Winai Thongsong as its new vice-presidents. The appointments were announced on Tuesday by FAT president Nualphan Lamsam. The FAT chief also promised to restructure the national women's football team set-up after its failure to make the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup finals in Australia. The Chaba Kaew lost to India 2-1 in their last Group B match of the qualifying tournament in Chiang Mai last week to finish second to their opponents. Only the group winners qualified for the finals.

‘Wasteful manner': Frustrated judge allows two more weeks for Marcy offers to decide on plea agreements
UTICA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Five correction officers charged for their involvement in the deadly beating of an inmate at the Marcy Correctional Facility have been given two more weeks to decide whether they will plead guilty now, or go to a trial. The judge had ordered each of them to come prepared to make a decision, but each defendant's attorney had a reason to ask for more time. In some cases, the hesitation was blamed on the defense teams' complaints about not being able to access all of the evidence shared by the prosecution electronically, calling out blank pages within digital documents and issues playing video clips. Even though he approved the request for more time, Oneida County Judge Robert Bauer wasn't happy about the delay. The judge told one attorney: 'The CPL (criminal procedure law) does contemplate that's exactly your obligation. If you encountered some difficulty in obtaining or viewing discovery, your first step should be to reach out to the prosecution and not allow some two months to elapse and appear in court in what is working out to be a rather wasteful manner.' Other defendants asked for more time because the special prosecutor, the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office, shared new evidence that they feel could alter their decision whether or not to accept the plea offer. Each defendant has been offered a chance to plead guilty to applicable charges by the special prosecutor, the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office. Typically, a plea agreement comes with less prison time than the sentence imposed if the defendant goes to trial and is convicted by a jury. The details of each plea agreement are confidential. Anthony Farina (top charge: murder) Matthew Galliher (top charge: murder) Nicolas Gentile (top charge: tampering with evidence) Nicholas Kieffer (top charge: murder) David Kingsley (top charge: murder) Five more officers are expected to come to court with the same determination, whether to accept the plea offer, tomorrow, April 30. Nicholas Anzalone (top charge: murder) Christopher Walrath (top charge: murder) Michael Mashaw (top charge: manslaughter) Michael Fisher (top charge: manslaughter) David Walters (top charge: manslaughter) The group, with different levels of involvement, is accused of the brutal beating of Robert Brooks in December.

Energy firm sets world record with 'champion cell' technology: 'This result is laying the groundwork'
In an exciting leap forward for solar energy, renowned solar company Qcells has announced a groundbreaking achievement: the creation of a tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell that reached an impressive 28.6% efficiency. This new world record was independently verified by the Fraunhofer ISE CalLab, setting a new benchmark for commercially viable solar technology. Solar power has long been one of the most promising sources of clean, affordable energy, but improving its efficiency has always been a challenge. With Qcells' new tandem cell technology, more energy can be generated from each solar panel, reducing the overall number of panels needed to power a home, business, or even a whole community. This means a smaller land footprint for solar farms and a potential reduction in the cost of solar energy — making clean energy more affordable and accessible for everyone. Qcells has been working on developing a commercially viable tandem solar cell since 2016, combining two powerful technologies: a perovskite top cell and Qcells' proprietary silicon technology for the bottom cell. The perovskite captures high-energy light, while the silicon captures lower-energy light, maximizing the cell's performance. This approach improves power output per unit area, making it a game-changer for large-scale solar installations. Qcells' dedicated R&D teams in Germany and Korea have made significant strides in tandem cell technology, shifting their focus from small-area cells to full-sized, scalable solutions. This new tandem cell was produced on Qcells' R&D pilot line in Germany, using commercial processes that are feasible for mass production. "The champion cell is a typical cell from our R&D pilot line in Germany and has been fabricated by exclusively using processes that are feasible for mass production," Robert Bauer, Head of Qcells R&D in Germany, explained. If you were to install home solar panels, which of these factors would be your primary motivation? Energy independence Lower power bills Helping the planet No chance I ever go solar Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. He added that this breakthrough "is laying the groundwork for future commercialization of this exciting technology." According to Danielle Merfeld, Global CTO at Qcells, the tandem cell technology will "ultimately, deliver a great leap forward in photovoltaic performance." This new tandem solar technology has the potential to lower the cost of solar energy, reduce reliance on dirty fuels, and help cities and companies meet their clean energy goals faster. If successful at scale, it could be a key driver in making solar energy a more widespread and cost-effective solution for powering homes, businesses, and public infrastructure. While there's no specific timeline yet for when this technology will be available to consumers, Qcells' commitment to ongoing R&D investments and partnerships with government and industry leaders signals that the future of solar energy is looking brighter than ever.
