MELBOURNE http://www.cheapairmax97wholesale.com/ , July 30 (Xinhua) -- The head of Australia's National Basketball League (NBL) has held talks with National Basketball Association (NBA) officials about bringing the world's best basketballers to Melbourne for an Australian series.


Larry Kestelman, who is the league's executive director and co-owner of NBL club Melbourne United, said he had a vision for short series to be played in Victoria's capital in the NBA offseason, most likely as early as 2017.


"We've opened a constructive dialogue with the NBA ... there is no reason at all they can't come here," Kestelman told News Limited on Thursday.


Following the raging success of football's International Champions Cup (ICC) last week - which drew crowds of 99 cheap air max 98 ,000, 40,000 and 80,000 to friendly matches between Real Madrid, Manchester City and Roma at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) - the wealthy businessman is confident the series could attract the same fanfare.


"The sort of interest it would (create) would rival anything cheap air max 270 , like the recent State of Origin (rugby league match) in Melbourne," he said.


Kestelman believes the Australia's strong presence in the world's best basketball competition, with players such as Australian NBA champions Andrew Bogut and Patty Mills, would also provide focal point for the series.


"Any game we can get with an Aussie playing we would love to get," he said.


It is unlikely the series would be played as a part of the NBA regular season cheap air max 95 , with a "Best of the NBA" versus the Boomers - Australia's national team - one format put forward by Kestelman.


Rod Laver Arena, Etihad Stadium and the MCG are being considered as venues, with a final decision made on the teams or players booked and their ability to attract spectators.


"People would flock from far and wide to see it," Kestelman said.


Uncertainty surrounds the NBL's 2015-16 season, due to begin in October cheap air max 97 , as the eight-team competition remains without a television broadcaster.

Haven’t you ever dropped your smartphone, ending with a ****ed screen and cussing yourself for being so careless? Haven’t you ever thought the need for electronics that wouldn’t break easily? Turns out the future of electronics is everything you’ve ever wanted it to be!

One of the main reasons that electronic parts break is that they are made using materials that break easily. They are difficult to use in products that need bending, such as devices that can be attached or glued onto the skin. Moreover, clear or transparent materials or even heavy plastics aren’t known to conduct electricity well either. And this is probably why we haven’t seen wearable electronics yet.

However, researchers might just have come up with a solution that might make all your dreams come true. Researchers have developed a thin flexible mesh which can be used to conduct electricity and is transparent as well. This new mesh could be the basis of all kinds of products cheap air max 90 , says Sam Yoon, the lead researcher behind this project.

Yoon and his team started out with a material known as acrylonitrile, a clear liquid that has commonly been used to make thermoplastic composites. This material was mixed with another liquid which played the role of a solvent and the mix was squeezed through an incredibly tiny nozzle and sprayed through the air. The solvent evaporated upon being sprayed and the tiny acrylonitrile molecules ended up getting linked to each other, creating a high gravity compound called polyacrylonitrile. Continuous squeezing created a long polyacrylonitrile fiber which was so thin that it was almost invisible. In fact, the human hair is 17 times wider. Researchers also kept moving the nozzle back and forth cheap nike air max shoes , which helped them create a layer that resembled a spider’s web.

Sounds great, doesn’t it. However, like most other thermoplastic composites, polyacrylonitrile isn’t a conductor of electricity. So the most important step was to add metal to the coating so that electricity could flow through. Now since basic metal coatings couldn’t stick to polyacrylonitrile, researchers needed something different. To counteract this problem cheap air max shoes , they sprayed a coating of an inert metal like platinum or gold on the polyacrylonitrile compound. They then added another layer of polyacrylonitrile, offering temporary support, assisting the metal base to resist sagging.

This fiber covered frame was then connected to negatively charged electrodes and dipped in a solution which contained dissolved copper. Electric current was run through the solution for an entire minute during which time the copper got attracted to the fibers. This allowed the polyacrylonitrile to not only bond at places where they touched each other, but also made it possible to add a thin layer of copper which conducted electricity. This was then attached to a clear plastic which used adhesives the way band-aids do. The entire frame was then dipped in a liquid which dissolved polyacrylonitrile fibers which didn’t have copper jackets, leaving behind a mesh made purely using copper-coated fibers.

Younan Xia cheap nike air max , a materials scientist at Georgia Institute Technology, states that it’s easy to understand why the mesh is so transparent. Xia also noted that the tinges of color added to the mesh could further be reduced by using silver instead of copper. Lab tests further proved that the mesh is not only flexible, but also managed to conduct electricity despite being bent more than a thousand times. It carried electricity after being stretched 6 times its length and none of the fibers showed signs of deformity.

In other words, this mesh could just be the jumpstart wearable tech needed. It could find great use as a flexible solar cell or as a sensor for artificial skin or artificial limbs. It could also be attached to the skin to monit.
