A new multimillion-dollar cricket training facility will be built in Hagley Park if Christchurch councillors sign off on the proposal. The Canterbury Cricket Trust hopes to demolish the old horticultural hall near Hagley Oval and build a new training facility ahead of the Women's Cricket World Cup, which is due to kick-off in March 2022.

In this video from Lovecars , Tiff Needel gets behind the wheel of the Lexus, and the owner is at the controls of the SLR for the drag race. The LFA remains a very special supercar in large part because of its naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V10 engine that can rev to 9,500 rpm. The result is one of the best-sounding road cars ever.

Love it or hate it, there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to straight-line competition. As such, a recent video from FloRacing showcases a series of unfortunate events involving an airborne Camaro . Before we get started, we’d be remiss not to mention the Mustang in the opposing lane, which maintained control throughout the run – while obviously compromised by the events on display. Regardless, let’s take a look at what catalyzed this unbelievable display of automotive aeronautics.

Law enforcement unions and leaders warned throughout 2020 that the stresses of a pandemic, increased crime, protests against police brutality, calls for defunding departments and the passage of landmark police reform legislation could cause an exodus from the profession. The multiple stressors and anxieties for law enforcement in 2020 were layered like an onion, said Detective Michael Kim, second vice president of the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police. People who join law enforcement generally do so out of a desire to serve, he said, and the past year has left many officers disheartened or unsure of their futures. “I think this is a year for most law enforcement officers for some hard conversations and some hard decisions,” Kim said. “There are lots of (law enforcement) households across the country where the conversation has been, ‘Do I stick with this?
