Idehendaniel.blogspot.com British inventor Sir James Dyson has announced plans to build an electric car that will be “radically different” from current models and go on sale in 2020. The billionaire who revolutionised the vacuum cleaner said 400 engineers in Wiltshire had been working since 2015 on the £2.5bn project. No prototype has yet been built, but Dyson said the car’s electric motor was ready, while two different battery types were under development that he claimed were already more efficient than in existing electric . Dyson said consumers would have to “wait and see” what the car would look like: “We don’t have an existing chassis … We’re starting from scratch. What we’re doing is quite radical.” However, he said the design was “all about the technology” and warned that it would be an expensive vehicle to purchase. While he did not name a price, he said: “Maybe the better figure is how much of a deposit they would be prepared to put down.” He said he had long bee...

 If nuts – peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts – are a part of your daily diet, you are less likely to be overweight or obese, finds a new study. According to researchers, those who consume the healthy snack were found to have a five percent lower risk of carrying extra pounds, compared to those who did not. The findings indicated that participants gained an average of almost five pounds by the end of five years, but those who eat nuts routinely gained less weight. The study’s senior investigator Dr Joan Sabate from Loma Linda University’s school of public health in California suggested that nuts should replace animal fats. The authors suggested that putting them at the centre of your plate to replace animal products may be more satiating.               Idehendaniel.blogspot.com   Researchers from the university and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) examined the diets and weight of 3,73,000 adults ...

         Idehendaniel.blogspot.com   ISIL  has released an unverified audio recording that it said was by its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who called on the armed group's followers to "resist the infidels". The date of the 46-minute recording, released on Thursday via the ISIL-linked Al-Furqan news organisation, was not clear. But in it, the apparent leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group referred to the North Korean threats against Japan and the United States.  It is the first apparent communication from the elusive leader in almost year, during which the group has lost much of the territory it controlled in  Iraq  and Syria. The audio release, much of which is dedicated to religious scriptures, comes amid growing speculation over al-Baghdadi's fate. "The leaders of the Islamic State and its soldiers have realised that the path to ... victory is to be patient and resist the i...
