Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate Spied Under Development In The Snow
It reportedly uses a hybrid-assisted four-cylinder rather than a V8. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is fresh off its debut , but we know that hotter models are coming. As an example, here is an extensive look at the upcoming C63 Estate during cold-weather development in Scandinavia. Aesthetically, expect the C63 to look a lot like the standard C-Class but with some more aggressive touches. The tweaks likely include the Panamericana grille with vertical slats and larger inlets in the fascia. The side sills are more prominent. At the back, there are four trapezoidal exhaust pipes and a spoiler sculpted into the roof.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C8 Spied Testing On Video In Sports Car Caravan
You can hear the engine, too. While the video is grainy, there's a new opportunity to what is very likely the next-gen Chevy Corvette Z06 C8 on the road with a caravan of other 'Vettes and a Jaguar F-Type . You can hear it rev a little, too. The Z06 is under heavy camouflage, and the video's low resolution doesn't make looking for design details on the car any easier. The engineers even have covers over the wheels. About halfway through the video, the camera zooms in, and it's possible to see the center-exit exhaust pipes. There appears to be a diffuser on each side of them. Gallery: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Spy Photos 22 Photos Before driving away, there's a brief opportunity to hear the engine. It's not much, but the noise seems different than the standard C8. The person who shot the video told Midengine Corvette Forum : "When they were leaving I … [Read more...] about Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C8 Spied Testing On Video In Sports Car Caravan

The Hanoitimes - Vietnam has been on way to pursue an energy transition that reduce carbon emission and develop renewable sources in an effort to combat climate change .

Red Bull’s missing RB16B fuels tech secret intrigue
The Milton Keynes-based team appears to have gone out of its way to make sure that no detailed images of its new RB16B can be accessed by rival teams prior to the first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain. After conducting a filming day at Silverstone with both its RB15 car from 2019 and the new RB16B on Wednesday, it was noticeable that of the 76 images the team released after running, none of them were of the new car. Shots were captured of Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Alex Albon all in action and in the garage over the full day of running, but each was captured driving the RB15 only. All of the full car garage shots, panning shots and front views were of the old car. The RB16B was missing in action. While it would not be amiss of a second-rate team and photographer to accidentally send out the wrong car images and omit any shots of the new machine, Red Bull is a sharp outfit that knows what it is doing. So you can bet that the choice of images that were … [Read more...] about Red Bull’s missing RB16B fuels tech secret intrigue
High street favourites that won’t re-open in April as Covid closes iconic chains forever
While there's light at the end of the tunnel for many British businesses after months of lockdown, there's some familiar favourites that will never return to the High Street. Many businesses have been told they could reopen on April 12 if the government reaches its Covid vaccination target, as part of Boris Johnson's plan to get the country out of restrictions. Hairdressers, salons, clothing outlets and many small, local businesses such as florists will be able to trade again after more than three months of closures. But for many towns and communities, the high street will never be the same again as one by one big chains that have been part of Britain's culture have fallen under the pressure of the pandemic. Some struggling brands will return to the high street but others will now operate online-only. Paperchase is closing 27 stores while Jaeger, John Lewis, Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Bonmarché, Hays Travel and Prezzo will reduce their store counts.

How ‘Fake It ‘Till You Make It’ Really Is a Thing
Source: Ava Motive/Pexels The other night, I came home from work and sat there crying. Well, not crying exactly, but tears were falling from my mad, staring eyes and rolling down my face. The next night, the same thing happened. And the night after that, and the night after that, and so on. Tears even seeped out from behind my closed eyelids as I lay in bed at night. As well as the tears, I also felt very, very down. “Am I sad?” I wondered, all alone in the dark. I concluded that I must be. “But why am I so sad?” I asked myself. And then I began to worry about what the sadness I felt might represent. Perhaps I was becoming very depressed , I thought. Or maybe the year-long lockdown was somehow releasing some long-buried and hitherto unrecognised past trauma . Maybe I’m not dealing with this whole pandemic situation as well as I thought, I thought. And then I thought that being a psychotherapist, maybe it was time to go and see someone like me. About a week later I … [Read more...] about How ‘Fake It ‘Till You Make It’ Really Is a Thing

SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production – what does it imply for India
New Delhi: In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) refreshingly came-up as a marked improvement over existing mechanisms to guide and channelise international, national, regional and local actions. Aiming to balance human aspirations and equitable growth, with the least possible environmental and ecological impacts, the SDGs outline the most holistic canvas on sustainable development till date. ‘ SDG 12 : Sustainable Consumption and Production’ is right at the centre of this balance, warranting a radical re-look at our current way of life. While we have made substantial progress in improving efficiencies and shifting to cleaner approaches, fundamentally, as of now, growth is still predicated on the day-to-day increase in production, and influencing people to buy more goods. Add to this, the inherent challenges of irreversible extraction of natural resources, recurring post-harvest and food losses, increased processing and waste streams, higher congestion in urban … [Read more...] about SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production – what does it imply for India
