The innovation developed by artec technologies opens up completely new perspectives for international media analysis and at the same time leads to a considerable relief of the user’s work processes. The XENTAURIX Media Platform enables the almost real-time reading of TV, radio and webcast program from all over the world in their own target language. This new development brings broadcasters, press and news agencies, digital publishers, security forces, crisis center as well as financial and economic sectors into a new era of news processing.

News broadcasts and features can be followed in real time with low latency as a transcript in the desired target language. The platorm records everything so that transcribed video clips can be created and shared during or after a broadcast. This is particularly invaluable for current events. The speech-to-text application works autonomously and does not require an external service provider. With support for more than 50 source languages and up to 30 target languages, taking into account spelling and grammar rules, this application is rewriting the way media content is analysed, processed and documented.

The XENTAURIX platorm is available as an in-house system or cloud service and offers maximum flexibility. It can simultaneously process from a few to thousands of channels. artec technologies AG will present its new AI solution and other innovations at the international broadcast trade fair IBC in Amsterdam from 15 to 18 September 2023.

adidas and Arsenal reveal the Arsenal home jersey

Today, adidas and Arsenal reveal the Arsenal home jersey for the 2023/24 season, marking the 20th anniversary of the ‘Invincibles’ season with a bold new look.

Taking design inspiration from the kit worn by the record-breaking team, the jersey features a new shade of striking red offset with a white sleeve and a lightning bolt pattern that flows vertically from top to bottom.

The new kit draws on the spirit and attitude of the ‘Invincibles’ team of 2003/04, marking the beginning of the 20th anniversary of Arsenal’s unbeaten Premier League season. The Arsenal crest, adidas’ logo, and three stripes down each sleeve all feature in gold, and the team’s record of 26 wins and 12 draws over 38 games in that historical season is etched into the side of the authentic version of the kit.

Arsenal legend, Ray Parlour, said: “Playing in that season twenty years ago, surrounded by so many wonderful players is something I will never forget, and it is great to see we are celebrating our club history by bringing out this new home shirt – something I think all the supporters will truly love.”

The on-field version of the shirt is constructed with HEAT.RDY technology, optimized to keep players feeling comfortable while performing on the biggest stage thanks to the breathable fabric technology that absorbs moisture and dries quickly. The supporter version of the jersey features AEROREADY technology, which uses sweat-wicking or absorbent materials to keep the body feeling dry.

A minimum of 70% of this product is a blend of recycled and renewable materials, continuing adidas’ ongoing commitment to help end plastic waste. Earlier this year, adidas announced that it is ahead of schedule in its journey to replace virgin polyester with recycled polyester in its products wherever possible by the end of 2024. In 2022, 96% of all the polyester adidas used was recycled.

The new kit will be worn on pitch for the first time when Arsenal Women face Aston Villa in the final WSL game of the season on Saturday 27th May. The men’s team will also wear the new kit in their final Premier League match at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday 28th May.

The home jersey is available to purchase from 26th May via https://www.adidas.co.in/arsenal selected adidas retail stores, and adidas.com/football.

Vantika Agrawal, a FIDE ranked female chess player from India, became a grandmaster at 14.

Ranked 1st in India, 3rd in Asia and 17th in the world in FIDE rankings, Vantika Agrawal last year became a gold medal winner in the Chess Olympiad in which India and Russia were the joint winners.

Woman International Master at the age of 14, and gold medal winner at the age of 17, is a really astonishing thing to achieve at this young age, but this is how you will describe her incredible chess journey. From her very fast rise in the ratings to her consistent hard work as well as dedication, she is definitely on the fast road to being a great chess player.

This young girl has achieved a lot in this short time as her achievements are speaking for themselves and also she has been even awarded by Hon’ble Former President of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee as well as Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Her crowning glory was the part of the Indian team for winning Olympiad gold for the first time ever.

 

Vantika Agrawal’s Successful Journey of Chess

Her journey of chess starts at a very early age as she won the gold medal in U-9 girls, Asian Schools Chess, 2011, Delhi. From there she has been winning one competition after the other.

Participating in Olympiad, Vantika was lucky to get a place on the Indian team. Her strategy proceeding into the competition was to just give her greatest performance and contribute as much as she could to the team. She did that pretty well by getting 3.5/4 in the league stage, where India ended first, taking down a robust Chinese squad.

As the Indian squad started into the playoffs, Vantika remained calm as well as confident. And when there was a tie in the final, all the players were happy and for Vantika it was really a dream come true. Even though it was online, but it was her first Olympiad. She even says that playing with her team has made her even more motivated.

Training by Sparkling Chess Academy

Looking back at her performance, Vantika has explained her hours of preparation as well as planning in order to be in top shape. She has received her training from Sparkling Chess Academy for the last 7 years. Manish Uniyal was her coach who has trained her to be a  successful chess player.
