Himanshu Patel’s Revolutionary Battery Tech: Bridging Miles and Power Grids

The battery technology that could change the world of electric car . We’ve all heard the story: you buy an electric car, andhead off for that 300km journey. Less than 200km later, it’s time for a recharge.“It’s rarely what is says on the tin,” says Himanshu Patel, founder of Triton EV. The New Jersey based company which is cornering the market for commercial electric vehicles has one huge trump card up its sleeve: a patent ofits own, known as Power Home Link.“The difference is this not only charges your car, but actually reduces the dependency on power grids during peak hours, when fossil fuels are used. Sowhat this ends up doing is acting as a power backup for the house. This is especially useful in countries like India where power outages are still a huge issue,” says Patel. He adds: “What we are doing is net metering, so residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity can sell the electricity they are not using back into the grid.”Put simply, rather than j...7 Benefits of Having a Digital Credentials Wallet

Telemedicine is changing the healthcare industry in numerous ways. It breaks down time and geography barriers, making it easier and more affordable for individuals to get the medical advice they need.How do medical practices expand into telemedicine through locum jobs? In a digital landscape, healthcare providers can use these workers to see if the option is financially viable or desired by the community without a long-term commitment.Here is a look at how the process works.1. Temporary HiresBy bringing in locum workers for a set time, a medical practice can work with a limited patient pool to collect user data about telemedicine services. It can serve as a stop-gap measure during the busy season, when patient loads increase, or more community needs develop.Instead of running short-staffed or hiring quickly to fill open positions, locum workers allow you to focus on telemedicine (or any other area) without overworking everyone else.2.

A poll Friday showed Southern California Reps. Katie Porter and Adam Schiff still leading the race to succeed the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate, but fellow Democratic East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee and former Los Angeles Dodgers star and Republican Steve Garvey made gains in what remains a wide-open race.The Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll shows Irvine’s Porter holding at 17% while her chief rival Schiff of Burbank dipped to 16% — a four-point drop since the organization’s last survey in August. Support for Lee, of Oakland, edged upward to 9% and for Garvey, who formally announced his candidacy Oct. 10, to 10%. They both have jumped from 7% in the last poll.But with 30% of voters — nearly one in three — still undecided, Berkeley IGS said the March 5 primary race, in which the top two finishers regardless of party will emerge to compete for the seat in November 2024, “remains a wide-open affair.”“While Garvey&...Astronaut Ken Mattingly dies; helped save the crew of Apollo 13

A’s manager Mark Kotsay, despite having the worst winning percentage among major league managers over the past 80 years, is reportedly one of the few candidates to become the next New York Mets manager.SNY reported the 47-year-old Kotsay is “in the mix” for the Mets’ managerial vacancy, along with frontrunner Craig Counsell of the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza.Counsell is the Mets’ preferred manager to replace fired Buck Showalter but the Brewers are trying to keep him around for a 10th season and beyond. Counsell has also interviewed with Cleveland and is drawing interest from Houston after Dusty Baker’s retirement.The extent of Kotsay’s candidacy in New York is not clear but the Mets were obviously impressed with how he managed to keep his players competing hard and their spirits up during the worst season in Oakland’s 55-year history.Kotsay’s record of 110-214 in his two years with the A’s – including last year’s MLB-worst 50-112 mark — m...Was Kourtney Kardarshian’s labor induced so she’d give birth on Halloween?
