Did Lewandowski deserve the Ballon d'Or more than Messi? Without the Ballon d'Or in 2020 due to the coronavirus, Robert Lewandowski also lost his prize in 2021. Argentine Lionel Messi took it from him, who won his seventh trophy and left Poland without an award that has escaped his hands until four times. Lewandowski has not been served by 41 goals from him in 2,463 minutes. Nor beating Messi by more than ten points. Nor to be chosen the footballer of the year in Germany and the best of the season at Bayern Munich. Nor win the German Super Cup and the Bundesliga. And, in 2021, having scored 34 in 15 games.

 the country that is preparing for its possible disappearance Think for a moment about your home, your roots, the place you love the most in the world. And how difficult would it even be to imagine that this place would literally disappear from the face of the planet. For the inhabitants of dozens of island states this is a real fear. The rise in sea level due to climate change is already causing loss of land and a shortage of drinking water on these islands.

This nation is also legally preparing for the worst-case scenario: the total submergence of its territory. Tuvalu's Minister for Justice, Communications and Foreign Affairs Simon Kofe sent a dramatic message to COP26, the recent climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland. "We are sinking, but the same is happening to everyone...

Ford is developing a cable to charge electric cars in 5 minutes Today, modern electric cars have a range similar to fuel vehicles, and you can recharge most of the battery when you go to the bathroom and have a coffee at the gas station. Still, many drivers, especially haulers, travelers and professionals who spend their days on the road, need to recharge their car quickly.  Ford is working on a technology to recharge the electric car in 5 minutes. The most curious thing is that it is not based on the battery itself or the charger, but on the cable. As Noelia López tells us in Auto Bild, Ford has teamed up with researchers at Purdue University to create a supercharger cable. Today, chargers have limitations in terms of how fast they can charge an electric vehicle battery due to the danger of overheating ”, explain the technicians of the oval brand. Indeed, recharging a car battery could be done in 5 minutes, if it weren't for a small problem: the heat. Fast charging overheats both ...
