Brickmania Launches Officially Licensed Blues Brothers Kit For $210

Brickmania has released a new model of the iconic Bluesmobile from the movie “Blues Brothers.” This kit is officially licensed and includes a small replica of the black-and-white 1974 Dodge Monaco along with two minifigures of Jake and Elwood Blues.

The kit, which consists of 332 Lego bricks and Brickmania elements, is now available for pre-order. While it is not a limited edition, it is uncertain when it will be restocked after the initial batch sells out. The kit retails for $210, and it comes with full-color printed instructions and custom-printed elements for the vehicle. The Dodge Monaco features functional doors and the roof-mounted loudspeaker, just like in the movie, giving it an authentic look.

 

Brickmania specializes in creating custom building kits using Lego bricks and unique elements. The company offers a wide range of products, with many of them being military-themed vehicles. Their catalog includes warships, airplanes, tanks, trucks, artillery batteries from various wars, and even replicas of the Apollo 11 Command Module, the Vostok 6 Soviet spacecraft, and a Viking raiding ship that retails for $990.

The release of the Bluesmobile kit in brick form coincides with the 40th anniversary of the “Blues Brothers” movie in 2020. The film, which was released in 1980, follows the adventures of the characters Jake and Elwood Blues portrayed by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, respectively. In the movie, the brothers embark on a mission to raise money for an orphanage that is facing tax issues.

During their journey, the Blues Brothers find themselves in trouble, leading to a 106-mile car chase into downtown Chicago. This epic chase scene involves over 100 police cars, tanks, and helicopters. Now, with the Bluesmobile Lego kit, fans can recreate this action-packed scene on a smaller scale at home.

For years, Lego enthusiasts have been using Lego bricks to build all kinds of vehicles. While not every vehicle make and model is available in official Lego kits, this hasn’t stopped people from creating their own designs. Lego offers a variety of vehicle sets, and Lego Technic adds even more intricacy and detail to the building process, resulting in lifelike final products.

Gui’an Embraces New Energy and New Material Industry to Integrate Guizhou and Shanghai Resources

GUIYANG, China, June 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com:

As the last cubic of concrete craned and placed on the roof of its module plant, CATL Guizhou Power Battery Manufacturing Base celebrated a milestone of its Gui’an Phase I project.

Kicking off in Gui’an New District in February 2022, the CATL Guizhou Power Battery Manufacturing Base project covers an area of about 95.7 hectares, with a planned annual production capacity of 60 GWh of power and energy storage battery. The project will be developed in two phases, among which Phase I, covering 59 hectares with an annual production capacity of 30 GWh power, energy storage battery production lines, and supporting facilities, is still under construction.

According to the head of the project, the manufacturing base will be equipped with CATL’s cutting-edge high-takttime and highly flexible production lines with an automation rate of as high as 95%. By taking Gui’an as a significant base, CATL Guizhou aims to create a green industrial chain system with low or zero carbon emissions from upstream phosphate mining, phosphorus, and fluorine chemicals production, to lithium-ion battery manufacturing, downstream applications, and battery recycling, thus helping Guizhou build a new energy automobile industry ecosystem with distinctive characteristics and outstanding advantages.

The manufacturing base remains one of the important projects introduced by Shanghai Zhangjiang (Gui’an) Hi-tech Park. After putting it into operation, the expected benefits of Phase I include RMB15 billion annual output value, RMB 1 billion annual tax contribution, and over 3,000 job opportunities.

The blueprinted Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, expanding 17 square kilometers in south-central Pudong New District of Shanghai, is one of the key development zones together with Lujiazui, Jinqiao, and Waigaoqiao development zones. In early April, Gui’an New District took the initiative to co-build an industrial park with Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park. Subsequently, Gui’an Development Group and Zhangjiang Group soon reached a consensus on co-developing Zhangjiang (Gui’an) Hi-tech Park in Phase II of Guiyang big data sci-tech innovation city. Backed by Gui’an New District and Pudong New District, the Park will combine the resources and strengths of Guizhou and Shanghai to power up the high-quality development of big data, new energy, and new materials sectors.

The Guizhou-Yangtze Delta industrial match-making conference on June 1 witnessed the execution of the strategic cooperation agreement on Shanghai Zhangjiang-Gui’an Hi-tech Park. Contracts for 46 industrial investment projects were signed at the meeting, including Guizhou Tianneng Recycling Material Industrial Park and Huaxi District Specialty Beverage Production Base and covering a large scope of industries, such as new energy vehicle and battery materials, big data electronic information, aerospace and equipment, cultural tourism, Maotai-flavor baijiu, basis materials, modern chemical industry, modern energy, modern commerce, modern finance, modern logistics, and eco-food.

Global Automotive Artificial Intelligence Strategic Business Report 2023: The Age of AI Has Arrived & Here’s How it Promises to Revolutionize Automobiles

DUBLIN, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The “Automotive Artificial Intelligence: Global Strategic Business Report” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Global Automotive Artificial Intelligence Market to Reach $14.8 Billion by 2030

In the changed post COVID-19 business landscape, the global market for Automotive Artificial Intelligence estimated at $3.2 Billion in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of $14.8 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 20.9% over the analysis period 2022-2030.

Software, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to record 22.5% CAGR and reach $9.6 Billion by the end of the analysis period. Taking into account the ongoing post pandemic recovery, growth in the Hardware segment is readjusted to a revised 18.4% CAGR for the next 8-year period.

The U.S. Market is Estimated at $1.2 Billion, While China is Forecast to Grow at 23.1% CAGR

The Automotive Artificial Intelligence market in the U.S. is estimated at $1.2 Billion in the year 2022. China, the world’s second largest economy, is forecast to reach a projected market size of $2.4 Billion by the year 2030 trailing a CAGR of 23.1% over the analysis period 2022 to 2030.

Among the other noteworthy geographic markets are Japan and Canada, each forecast to grow at 16.3% and 18.3% respectively over the 2022-2030 period. Within Europe, Germany is forecast to grow at approximately 20.3% CAGR.

Looking Ahead to 2023

Lower capital expenditure is in the offing as companies go slow on investments, held back by inflation worries and weaker demand. With slower growth and high inflation, developed markets seem primed to enter into a recession.

Fears of new COVID outbreaks and China’s already uncertain post-pandemic path poses a real risk of the world experiencing more acute supply chain pain and manufacturing disruptions this year.

Volatile financial markets, growing trade tensions, stricter regulatory environment and pressure to mainstream climate change into economic decisions will compound the complexity of challenges faced.

Year 2023 is expected to be tough year for most markets, investors and consumers. Nevertheless, there is always opportunity for businesses and their leaders who can chart a path forward with resilience and adaptability.

Lamborghini expands in Europe with its first dealership in Norway

Grand opening of Oslo showroom and local premiere of Lamborghini Revuelto

Sant’Agata Bolognese/Oslo, 16 June 2023 – Italian luxury car manufacturer, Lamborghini, is increasing its presence in Northern Europe by opening its first showroom in Norway. The grand opening in Lamborghini Oslo included the local debut of the brand’s first V12 super sports hybrid plug-in vehicle, the HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle), in front of an exclusive group of guests. Stephan Winkelmann, the Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, Federico Foschini, the Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, and Nils Tronrud, Chairman of XPND Group and Lamborghini Oslo dealership representative, attended the event.

2023 is a very special year for Automobili Lamborghini, with the celebration of the brand’s 60th anniversary and the launch of our first V12 super sports hybrid plug-in HPEV,” said Winkelmann. “The opening of the first showroom in Norway is significant for us, as it allows our future customers in Norway to experience our brand, values, and super sports cars. We are thrilled to introduce the Lamborghini Revuelto to Norway, following its successful reception and strong orders in other markets.

“As an entrepreneur and a car enthusiast, we are immensely proud and honored to represent Lamborghini in the Norwegian market,” said Nils Tronrud. “I still remember when I was a child, playing with car cards and learning about the technical details and design features of the iconic Lamborghini Miura, the first supercar ever. Being here today, opening our showroom and seeing the new Revuelto alongside the Miura, is like a dream come true for me.”

The opening event featured a special performance by the renowned Norwegian band Kickslip and DJ Boge. It also showcased a unique artwork by local artist Nicolay Aamodt, celebrating Automobili Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary. The artwork drew inspiration from the design and colors of Lamborghini’s most iconic models. The 150 guests had the opportunity to explore Lamborghini’s current lineup of super sports cars, including the recently launched Huracan Sterrato, which had its dynamic debut in Chuckwalla, USA. The 390 square meters showroom showcased a blend of Lamborghini’s past and future, with the presentation of the Lamborghini Miura, previously owned by Frank Sinatra, alongside the new Lamborghini Revuelto.[1]

The Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region is the largest of the three Lamborghini regions, which also include the Americas and Asia Pacific, in terms of sales volume. Currently, the EMEA region consists of 32 markets, including Norway, out of the total 53 worldwide. After achieving a record-breaking sales year in 2022 with over 9,200 cars delivered globally, Automobili Lamborghini aims to further expand its brand network. In the EMEA region, where sales grew by 7% in 2022 compared to 2021, Lamborghini is now represented by 78 showrooms.

[1] The vehicle is not yet available for sale and is therefore not subject to Directive 1999/94/EC. The fuel consumption and emissions data are in the type approval stage.

Enabling Dark Mode On Any Website: A Step-By-Step Guide For Android

When using the web on an Android device, enabling Dark Mode can have critical benefits such as reducing eye strain and improving battery life, especially on OLED screens.

The comfort of Dark Mode comes from the reduced brightness and contrast it offers, which helps alleviate eye strain. Bright screens can lead to computer vision syndrome, but with Dark Mode, the lower luminance provides a more relaxing viewing experience, especially in low-light conditions.

For Android devices with OLED screens, enabling Dark Mode also has a significant battery-saving advantage. Unlike LCD screens that use a backlight to illuminate all pixels simultaneously, OLED displays have individual pixels that emit their own light. As a result, dark pixels on OLED screens consume less power, allowing for better battery performance and longer usage away from the charger.

Whether you want to reduce eye strain or conserve battery life, enabling Dark Mode can significantly enhance your browsing experience on Android. Follow this step-by-step guide to turn it on and enjoy the benefits.

All The Most Popular Map Apps For Android Ranked Worst To Best

When it comes to navigation apps, convenience and ease of use are crucial. However, one particular app, CoPilot GPS Navigation, may not be the most user-friendly option for Android users. Despite its attractive graphics and popularity, CoPilot’s setup process can be quite challenging.

Upon opening the app, users are immediately faced with a mandatory sign-up page that cannot be skipped. This means users are required to create an account without the option for guest access, and there is no need for email verification. Following this step, users must then decide the type of vehicle they are using, whether it’s a car, semi-truck, or RV. This choice comes with restrictive warnings and potential additional purchases.

After facing complicated menus, long downloads, and anxiety-inducing warnings, users finally have their CoPilot app ready for navigation. However, before they can even enter their first destination, a pop-up appears informing them that this is just a 14-day trial, and they must purchase the app for continued use.

It’s important to note that CoPilot GPS Navigation is a paid app with a high price tag. Considering the abundance of other navigation apps available, it may be hard to justify investing in CoPilot. While it does offer offline maps, turn-by-turn directions, and voice guidance, there are alternative options that provide a smoother and more user-friendly experience at a lower cost.

11 Essential Free Apps for Mac Users

When it comes to video editing, many Mac users rely on iMovie, which is a pre-installed and free-to-use software. However, iMovie has its limitations and might not meet everyone’s needs. While there are premium options like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro available, they can be expensive.

Fortunately, Mac users can explore DaVinci Resolve, a completely free video editing software that offers a lot of functionality even in its basic version. Although there is a paid version, the free version of DaVinci Resolve surpasses iMovie with features such as color correction, 8K editing, and visual effects.
