Three scientists have been awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of lithium-ion batteries.

John B Goodenough, M Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino share the prize for their work on these rechargeable devices, which are used for portable electronics.

At the age of 97, Prof Goodenough is the oldest ever Nobel laureate.

Professor of chemistry Olof Ramström said lithium-ion batteries had "enabled the mobile world".

The trio will share the prize money of nine million kronor (£738,000).

The lithium-ion battery is a lightweight, rechargeable and powerful battery that is used in everything from mobile phones to laptops to electric cars.

The Nobel Committee said: "Lithium-ion batteries are used globally to power the portable electronics that we use to communicate, work, study, listen to music and search for knowledge."

He competed professionally in Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, in a senior career that lasted twenty years.

Rufai represented Nigeria in two World Cups and as many Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Club careerEdit

Born in Lagos, Rufai started his career in his country, playing with Stationery Stores F.C. and Femo Scorpions. He moved to Benin in 1986, with AS Dragons FC de l'Ouémé.

At a more professional level Rufai spent six years in Belgium, with K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen[1] and K.S.K. Beveren, although he appeared sparingly. In the 1993–94 season he played 12 matches for Dutch neighbours Go Ahead Eagles, which finished 12th in the Eredivisie.

In 1994, Rufai started a Portuguese adventure with S.C. Farense. In his first year, he was instrumental as the Algarve side only conceded 38 goals in 34 matches, qualifying to the UEFA Cup for the first time ever. His solid performances earned him a transfer to La Liga, but he struggled to start for lowly Hércules CF during his stay, in an eventual relegation.

However, Rufai signed with established Deportivo de La Coruña the ensuing summer, backing up another African, Jacques Songo'o, for two seasons – this included keeping a clean sheet in a January 1998 home win against CD Tenerife (1–0) as the Cameroonian was suspended.[2] He then returned to Portugal for one final year, with modest Gil Vicente FC, also being second-choice.

Rufai returned to Spain in 2003, settling in the country and opening a goalkeeper's school.[2]

International careerEdit

Rufai earned 65 caps for Nigeria, and represented the nation at two FIFA World Cups, always as starter: 1994 (Nigeria's first ever appearance, where he also acted as captain) and 1998,[3] also helping the Super Eagles win the 1994 African Cup of Nations in Tunisia.[4]

On 24 July 1993, during a CAN qualifier against Ethiopia, Rufai scored his country's last goal from a penalty kick, in a 6–0 home win.[5]

Personal lifeEdit

Rufai was the son of a tribal king in the region of Idimu. In early 1998, as his father died, he was allowed by his club (Deportivo) to return to Nigeria to discuss the succession, but turned down the status for himself.[2]

Rufai's oldest son, Senbaty, played as a midfielder, having tried for Sunshine Stars F.C. in the Nigeria Premier League.[6]

I used to think he kept for Abiola Babes at some point in time.

Its easy , get a popup plugin, anyone that can take in shortcodes , use shortcodes to display featured posts , add the shortcodes to the plugin
That solves the problem
If you need help let me know
You own a bulk sms platform , do you need an adroid app ?
I can build one for you

Ok. Thanks. So what pop up plugin do you recommend.

InvisibleB:

Genesis Featured tabs can do it but you have to install genesis frame work with a child theme first

Thanks, I'm using a different theme, need something generic.

Does anyone know a Wordpress plugin that can display some selected/featured posts as a modal pop up on the home page?
Just titles,excerpts and featured images.
I've been searching.

Since the introduction of the DND(Do-Not-Disturb) policy by NCC, getting bulk sms messages
to deliver to phones has not been as smooth as before, a lot of mobile numbers were automatically placed on DND
even without the knowledge of the owners of such numbers.

The good news is that "Corporate Route" was later introduced by sms gateways in partnership
with the telcos to take care of DND, this is the route used by banks and other corporate bodies
to deliver their messages to mobile phones irrespective of DND, though it comes at an higher
price.

To use corporate route, most sms providers will have you login to your account and tick the "Use Corporate Route"
checkbox while composing your message, but what if you are a developer working with API's?
We've provided a way for developers to use corporate route in their bulk sms traffic via API as follows:

http://www.supertextng.com/api.php?username=[username]&password=[password]&destination=[destination]&message=[message]&sender=[sender]&nodnd=yes

Just by adding the option &nodnd=yes to the usual API. One nice thing about this is that it only reverts to corporate route
if the normal route fails, thereby optimizing your credit usage.

The French president hugged too, no one talks about that. Hugging is customary, no big deal.

OMG. Mr. Infantino doesn't have hair to get wet.

Look at how they are throwing up their coach. Biuriful!

Croatia seems to have given up.

Super classic goal. If they win now, then it is justified, I needed this real goal to make happy. Been feeling depressed at the (unjust) penalty.

1-1. Game just start now.

Sorry England. That was a gallant loss. You exceeded expectations.

Best wishes for your 3rd place match.

It would be nice to see a new country lift the trophy on Sunday, but something tells me it's going to be France.

So long. Ciao.

Trust the black devils to come back with some devastating fatality in the second half.

England is really tormenting them

Munzy14:

I dis agreed. from quaterfinals every game is won by tactics not gra gra or who play pass. Again every match played has its own plans.
France came with the better plan and tactics. They played all attack, all defend. When attack opportunity comes u see everyone racing down except varane,kante and umtiti. This is to curtail hazard,lukaku and kevin's unexpected attacks.And it paid off. Even this cup will be in favour of france if England beats Croatia. But if Croatia gets to final. It will be tough for france. Because Croatia is another tactical team. But france will win. They also have advantage of young players and hard working kante in interception.

Correct

Rayd502:


You don old oh. Respect .

How you take know? You must be old yourself. lol

Who remembers the days of CCCP?

Brazil's undoing; apart from the fact that the Belgian team put up a very good fight;
1) They believed that they have to dribble their way very close to the goal post before taking a shot at it.
2) They so much wanted to score, that they left their defense very porous, everybody went forward, the Belgians capitalized on this.

The French players have got speed. They are sprinters, and it's working for them.

Hotshot. Too hot to handle.

Uruguay is a very determined and strong team. So also is Croatia. I tip the two of them to go far.

Brilliant

Is there an open source B2B script?
