What is it? The problem with Ferrari launches is that hacks have to try doubly hard to remain objective. Usually held in northern Italy, often at and around the factory, they treat you to superb and almost-always dry roads, the legendary Fiorano test track and, as if that weren’t sufficient, dinner at a restaurant called Montana, whose pasta alone constitutes reason enough to get on the plane. It’s hard not to feel at least tolerably well disposed towards a car presented in such circumstances. Well, this one was going to be different. A diary clash meant I had to skip the Roma main event in sun-scorched Italy back in August, so if we were to meet at all in 2020, it would be in December in southeast England, where the roads could be guaranteed to be busy, the weather as wet as it was cold and lunch a sandwich in a bag. Actually, I wasn’t sad at all. Like most people, I’m not knocked out by the idea of spending a couple of hours at 35,000ft in a thin aluminium tube in the company of a few hundred strangers right now, and the prospect of being introduced to a brand-new Ferrari in the all too real world was rather compelling: if the Roma could find a way of working here, it would work pretty much anywhere. This was an away game for Ferrari, and I wondered if it would show. Around Goodwood, where I drove it for the very first time, it most certainly did. Any rear-drive car with over 600bhp is likely to keep you busy on a soaking, not-far-off-freezing track, but when that track is one that combines fast and fear like no other in the land, you had better have your wits about you. Or, alternatively, your safety systems on. These days, Ferrari’s traction and stability controls are as good as you’ll find, and if you keep the manettino controller in either Wet or Comfort mode, that’s what you’ll find out: the Roma circulates the track very cleanly and rather slowly, the electronics anticipating slip and shutting it down before it has a chance to develop. In Sport mode, it’s rather unsatisfactory, because it suggests it’s going to allow the car to yaw a little but then doesn’t allow it. Once I had discovered that it would spin its wheels in fifth gear, I concluded that there wasn’t much more to be learned here other than how one might reduce by one the global Roma po[CENSORED]tion, so I gave up the track work and headed out onto the public road instead. And here, once I had realised that you need to press the manettino to access the Bumpy Road mode so essential to progress on British back roads, I continued my search for a still unanswered question.

We are sure that we know our world backward and forward and that there is nothing left that can surprise us and make us say "Oh, wow!" But we are wrong. To tell a real diamond from a fake, you need to breathe on it: a fake one will become foggy, and a genuine one will stay clear. A cockroach can live a few weeks without its head. It will eventually die of hunger. Galileo Galilei's middle finger is stored in The Museum of Science in Florence. The iPhone, the Harry Potter books, and the Rubik's Cube are the top 3 most sold products in human history. The Mona Lisa was in Napoleon Bonaparte's bedroom for a few years. The Bombay phenotype is a phenomenon whereby certain elements of the blood are missing. It results in a person having a mixed blood type. Only 0.0004% of the world's have such blood. There is even a special storage of this blood so that people who have it can have a blood transfusion if necessary. What is curious is that this unique blood type can be transfused to any person with a regular blood type. Besides the senses that we all know, such as smell and touch, a person also has another sense: proprioception (being aware of the position of one's body parts). Only 5% of the part of Brazil lives in the Rio Grande state. However, this is the place where 70% of all Brazilian models are from. Bananas have a curved shape because they reach for the sunlight when they grow. Mayday is the word that is used instead of SOS in radio chat. The Pokemon characters Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan were named after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. The Spanish word "esposas" means both "handcuffs" and "wives." The blue bird from the Twitter logo has a name: Larry. The creators of the social network named the bird after basketball player Larry Bird. In the high mountain forests of Nepal, there are giant bees. The length of their bodies can be up to 1.1 inches. These bees produce special honey that can cause a person to hallucinate. The Gurungs that live in that part of the Himalayas collect such hallucinogenic honey. When you gain or lose weight, your fat cells don't disappear – they just change their size. Some Japanese traffic lights have a blue light instead of green because historically both colors were named with the same word. 99% of the microbes that live inside humans are unknown to science. The last words that Albert Einstein spoke are unknown because he said them in German to a nurse who didn't speak the language. A paper cut is more painful than a regular cut because such a wound almost never bleeds, so the nerve endings stay open to the air, which irritates them. By the way, there is an article about this on Wikipedia. Queen Elizabeth II is related to Vlad Tepes, the famous prototype for Dracula.

A still from the now-removed Purcotton advertisement which critics said appeared to "demonize" victims of sexual assault. (CNN)A controversial advertisement for make-up removal wipes has been pulled from the internet in China, after it prompted widespread backlash on social media over claims it "demonized" victims of sexual assault. The advertisement, produced by Chinese cotton product brand Purcotton, shows a woman walking down a dimly lit street at night followed by a masked man. As the man begins to approach her, the woman is shown using a Purcotton wipe to remove her make-up, seemingly horrifying her would-be attacker and causing him to run away. Though it is unclear when the advertisement was first released, social media users in China have seized on the short video, decrying its apparent victim-blaming message, and labeling it "disgusting" and "wrong." Some have even called for a boycott of the company's products. "You use what scares women the most for an advertisement, which is beyond comprehension and unacceptable," one user said on Weibo, China's Twitter-like platform. China Women's News, a website which is operated by the government-affiliated All-China Women's Federation, denounced the ad on their social media for "demonizing the victim." "(It is) full of prejudice, malice, and ignorance. Women are consumers and not consumer goods. It is inevitable that 'creative' advertisements that insult women will be criticized by the public," the social media post said. Purcotton, which is owned by Winner Medical Group, has more than 240 stores in China and an estimated 20 million customers, according to the company's website. Purcotton originally defended the advertisement as a creative way to advertise the "cleaning function of the product," but as the calls for a boycott grew, the company removed the video from their accounts and eventually apologized on January 8. "We have set up a team to hold people to account for the problem and, in the meantime, we will improve content production and the review process to prevent similar incidents from happening again," the company's post said. Purcotton posted a second apology letter to their Weibo account on Monday. It isn't the first time that a Chinese company has been forced to apologize over accusations of sexism. In 2020, supermarket chain RT-Mart apologized after one of its stores displayed a sizing chart which labeled women who wore large or XXL clothes "rotten" and "terrible." One year earlier, China's top ride-hailing app Didi Chuxing had to backtrack on a curfew for female passengers using its service after 8 p.m., which had been put in place following the murder of two women who used the app.

Canadians call out leaders for breaking own Covid rules 03:32 Ottawa, Canada (CNN)It was meant to be the trip of a lifetime for 9-year-old Braeden Lousier-Hicks of Airdrie, Alberta, who has an extremely rare genetic disease. After the family waited five years to go on a charity-sponsored trip to Hawaii, it was postponed indefinitely due to Canada's Covid-19 restrictions. His mother, Lia Louiser, says the heartbreak of that was bad enough. Then an Alberta government minister, Tracy Allard, confessed to taking a trip with her family to Hawaii for the Christmas holidays because it was a "family tradition." "It's just a huge smack in the face that this was going to be our year," Lousier said in an interview with CNN. "We were going to finally go. We were going to get it in, hopefully before we lose him, and to see that other people were, you know, jet setting around because they had had ... a long year or whatever. It's hurtful." Canadians who have endured a travel ban, 14-day quarantines and weeks-long lockdowns are angry with politicians and government workers who are flouting the very health guidelines they helped put in place. After telling Canadians to hunker down and cancel holiday plans, more than a dozen high-profile politicians, public health leaders and even a hospital CEO have been caught taking vacations. What followed were confessions, demotions, resignations and a ferocious, if uncharacteristic outcry from Canadians. In Alberta, where the Covid-19 case numbers are among the highest in the country, eight politicians have admitted to traveling abroad. Allard was welcomed home from her Christmas vacation in Hawaii to find "Aloha Allard" signs on buildings in the province, a petition demanding her resignation and a furious social media backlash. Allard apologized and resigned her position in Alberta's cabinet. In a statement, she noted threats had been made against her children. "I am taking this learning opportunity for myself as I seek to earn forgiveness and rebuild trust with my constituents," she said in the statement. "And I am hoping people will consider their actions in response as well." 'It truly feels like an insult,' doctor says The consequences for her and others is a measure of the outrage now brewing among usually hard-to-rile Canadians, especially exhausted health care workers. "Canadians don't tend to rapidly become outraged, we're pretty calm, you know but I think this has sort of been a bit of a tipping point for us to say, OK, we have done our bit. What does this say about what your respect for our sacrifices has been," said Dr. Alan Drummond in an interview with CNN from his medical office in Perth, Ontario. Drummond has worked straight through the pandemic and has only left home to treat patients. He hasn't even traveled to see his own children in over 10 months. Drummond has been stirring up a storm on Twitter and his message is gaining support from angry Canadians. "For politicians who have been preaching to us to restrict our activities, to restrict our social gatherings, to see our elderly loved ones through iPad and glass windows, for them to then ignore the sacrifice of others for their personal pleasure, (it) is hard to articulate how deeply disturbing that is," he said. "It truly feels like an insult." Many Canadians have also been outraged by what seems like a deliberate plan by some to hide their vacation plans. Ontario's finance minister, Rod Phillips, lost his job after a video message posted on Christmas Eve thanking his constituents for obeying lockdown turned out to be pre-recorded. The heart-warming video -- complete with gingerbread décor and a cozy fire -- was aired as he vacationed on the Caribbean island of St Barts. He subsequently returned, apologized and resigned.

Global Smoking Facts and Statistics There are 1.3 billion smokers in the world today, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).1 If the trend continues, that number is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by the year 2025. Tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year, translating to one smoking-related death every five seconds.1 That is a million more deaths than occur each year as a result of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.2 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 37.8 million smokers in the United States in 2016.3 Over 16 million Americans are currently living with a tobacco-related disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).4 Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia are eight states where at least 21.8% of adults are smokers.5 In West Virginia, one of every four adults is a current smoker. More than 480,000 Americans die each year of smoking, accounting for one of every five deaths.4 On average, smoking will cut 13 years from your life expectancy. If you have HIV, that number will increase to 16 years.6 Lung cancer is not the only malignancy you can get from smoking. Others include cancer of the bladder, blood, bone marrow, cervix, colon, esophagus, kidneys, larynx, liver, mouth, pancreas, rectum, stomach, and throat. In addition to cancer, smoking can increase your risk of coronary heart disease and stroke by anywhere from 200% to 400%. Smoking is a problem that hits poorer people hardest. In fact, 80% of the world's smokers live in low- to medium-income countries.1 Even in the U.S., 24.3% of people living below the poverty line are smokers compared to 14.3% of those living above the poverty line. China is home to 300 million smokers who consume approximately 1.7 trillion cigarettes annually or roughly three million cigarettes per minute.2 One of every three cigarettes smoked globally is in China. Worldwide, around 10 million cigarettes are purchased per minute, 15 billion are sold per day, and upwards of five trillion are produced and used every year. A typical cigarette can contain anywhere from 8 to 9 milligrams of nicotine. By contrast, the nicotine content in a cigar can run anywhere from 100 milligrams to 400 milligrams.7 There is enough nicotine in five cigarettes to kill an average adult if ingested whole.7 Most smokers take in an average of 1 to 2 milligrams of nicotine per cigarette, of which 0.03 milligrams is absorbed into the bloodstream. There are more than 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, of which more than 250 are known to be harmful, more than 50 are known to cause cancer, and 11 are classified as Group I carcinogens. Benzene is a major cause of acute myeloid leukemia. Not surprisingly, cigarette smoke is the major source of benzene. Among smokers in the United States, 90% of their benzene exposure will come from cigarettes.8 Radioactive lead, polonium, and hydrogen cyanide can all be found in cigarette smoke. History buffs will recognize hydrogen cyanide as a compound used in World War II as a genocidal agent. Of the 8 million smoking-related deaths reported around the world each year, 1.2 million are the result of secondhand smoke.1 Despite what some may tell you, there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Tobacco costs the U.S. economy more than $300 billion each year. Of this, $170 billion goes toward medical care, while more than $156 billion is attributed to lost productivity due to illness and death.9 While fewer young adults are smoking cigarettes in the U.S. today, over 3,200 teens and adolescents try their first cigarette every day. It's estimated that 2,100 of these will go on to become daily smokers. Statistics suggest that 5.6 million children living today in the U.S. will die of a smoking-related disease. That is equal to one of every 13 children.10 Approximately a quarter of the youth living in the Western Pacific Region (comprised of East Asia, the Pacific, and Oceana) will die from tobacco use. Only 20% of the world's po[CENSORED]tion is protected by smoking laws, mostly in high-income countries. Globally, tobacco use has claimed more than 100 million lives in the 20th century. It is expected to claim another billion during the 21st century unless serious anti-smoking efforts are made on a global scale. The WHO has concluded that half of all smokers will die as a result of.

Rome (CNN)Pope Francis has said the Vatican will begin Covid-19 vaccinations next week and that he is in line to receive the shot. The pontiff made the comments during an interview with Italy's Canale 5 channel, set to air on Sunday night. "It is an ethical duty to take the vaccine, here in the Vatican we will start next week, I am also in line to take it," he said, according to a news anchor for the channel in a preview of the interview, which was released Saturday. The full interview, which took place in the Santa Marta residence in the Vatican, will air on Sunday at 2.40 p.m. ET (8.40 p.m. local time), according to a press release. Pope Francis celebrates a Holy Mass for the imposition of the Pallium upon the new Metropolitan Archbishops, during the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul apostles, in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, on June 29, 2020. Francis also spoke about this week's violence on Capitol Hill in the interview with the station's Vatican expert Fabio Marchese Ragona. "I was amazed, because the US , which is so disciplined in democracy... But it is a reality, even in more mature realities there is always something wrong, something about people taking a path against the community, against democracy, against the common good. "I thank God that this broke out and we could see it well, because this can be remedied, right?" Francis said in a preview clip seen by CNN, adding the violence "must be condemned." Vatican says vaccine is 'morally acceptable' In December, the Vatican deemed that it was morally acceptable to be vaccinated against Covid-19, after some anti-abortion groups raised concerns about how the vaccines were manufactured. Some groups had suggested the coronavirus vaccines were made using cells from aborted fetuses. The cells are actually engineered and grown in labs from tissue acquired many decades ago, and are not made directly from aborted fetuses. "It is morally acceptable to receive Covid-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process," the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said in a note approved by Francis. The statement was issued and signed by the head of the Congregation in response to several requests for guidelines regarding the use of the vaccine. The pontiff used his recent Christmas message to say that coronavirus vaccines must be available for all, and pleaded with states to cooperate in the race to emerge from the pandemic. VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has told an Italian broadcaster that he was “astonished” by the mob attack at the U.S. Capitol due to the democratic traditions of the United States. ... "This must be condemned, this movement, regardless of the people” involved, he said of the rioting and violence on Capitol Hill.

Tokyo is the largest metropolitan in the world, hosting over 36 million people spread over 3 prefectures. Tokyo was formerly known as Edo in the 20th century. The name was changed to Tokyo in 1890 in light of the Meiji Restoration. Great for tax-free shopping Tokyo is one of the best shopping destinations in the world.

Could this plug-in hybrid Audi A6 be the real-world sweet spot of the range? Yes, everyone loves the idea of justifying an RS6 - it has a boot, it must be a family car - but in reality, it’s a lottery win away. This A6 50 TFSIe, on the other hand, is more realistically attainable with a starting price of £52,790 for the saloon (our car was S line, hence the £56,450 you’ll see in the spec box). An Avant is due along soon. It features a 2.0 TFSI petrol engine and is combined with a 141bhp electric motor housed within the dual clutch transmission to give a total system output of 295bhp. That’s on the money with the BMW 530e and the mid-range punch should be healthy thanks to the 332lb ft of combined torque, a smidge up on the 530. There’s also a more powerful version available, the 55 TFSIe, with a total power output of 362bhp. It’s the same 141bhp electric motor but the 2.0-litre petrol engine has been boosted to make up the difference. But back to our 50 TFSIe on test. Thanks to the A6’s 14.1kWh battery, eco credentials are equally respectable. It has a claimed 33-mile range, although you’ll dip nearer to 20 in winter, but it will do 84mph on battery power alone so even if your commute has a motorway section, the A6 TFSIe will cope. Inside, it’s the usual Audi flawless fit and finish. The twin touchscreens might not be to everyone’s liking, but at least they offer haptic and audible feedback, so you’ll know when you’ve turned the heat up to 28deg C by accident, rather than simply slow-roasting yourself. What's it like? The 0-62mph time is a competitive 6.2sec (the 530e does it in 5.9sec), but it’s the acceleration from 30-70mph that’s more impressive. It’s a fast machine, piling on the sort of effortless pace that makes real-world journeys easy, the kind where tractors and lorries jostle with you for road space. The electric motor fills in the traditional turbo lag gap so you get the sense that you’re waiting more for the gearbox to catch up than anything to spool up. Combined with the smooth ride that does a decent job of smoothing away the sharper lumps and potholes, it feels like a car that’s happy in its own skin. Downsides? It’s not a rewarding drive. The A6 PHEV does offer quattro - it’s either two- or four-wheel drive depending on what it thinks you need - but there’s no sense of this car rotating neatly underneath you. It’s precise and safe, but not exciting. There’s no feel from the steering or chassis, despite the expensive five-link suspension Should I buy one? The technology in these latest plug-in hybrids is getting to the stage where, bar extra long distance journeys, they really do feel like a genuine alternative to diesel. The A6 is no different. It’s smooth, plenty quick enough even in this ‘base’ 50 TFSIe spec and comes with all the usual Audi excellence in terms of styling and interior. There’s also something appealing about an A6 in the way that it’s always felt a bit rarer than a 5 Series or E-Class, be that imagined or reality. But if how it handles matters more to you than what it says about you, then the others are better.

Iranian commanders walk past missiles at the base, in a photo released by Sepahnews, the website of the Revolutionary Guards. (CNN)Iran has unveiled an underground base for "strategic missiles" on its Gulf coastline, according to state media. Video broadcast by state media Friday showed the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Major General Hossein Salami, touring what appears to be a long underground tunnel lined with missiles and missile launchers. Iran's ballistic missiles arsenal is one of the flashpoints in Tehran's long-running disputes with its Arab neighbors and the United States. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab countries have called for the curbing of Iran's ballistic weapons, but Iran's leaders have repeatedly said the arsenal is not up for negotiation. When Tehran retaliated for the US's targeted killing of top general Qassem Soleimani in January 2020, it fired over a dozen ballistic missiles at US positions in Iraq. Missiles on mobile truck launchers on display at the base. "What you see today is one of several IRGC Naval strategic missile facilities," Salami said according to the MEHR news agency. The base includes launching pads for long-range missiles that have a precision range of hundreds of kilometers, MEHR and IRNA said citing Salam. The unveiling of the base comes at a time of growing tensions between Iran and the US. On Monday, Tehran announced it had resumed enriching uranium to 20% purity, far beyond the limits laid out in the 2015 nuclear deal, which US President Donald Trump walked away from in 2018. US President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to reinstate the deal after he takes office on January 20. His national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told CNN on Sunday that the incoming administration would also seek a "follow-on negotiation" over Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. "Our view is that ballistic missiles, and Iran's ballistic missile program, has to be on the table as part of that follow-on negotiation," Sullivan said, adding the Biden administration would seek to bring some of Iran's regional partners to the table. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday that his country was not in a rush to rejoin the nuclear deal and argued that the sanctions against Tehran must be lifted regardless of whether the US rejoins the pact. He also said he did not trust coronavirus vaccines produced by the Western countries, and called on officials to prohibit them from entering the country. "We must not import (Covid-19) vaccine from the US, the UK or even France. I do not trust them," Khamenei said in a speech to the nation televised on state media. The announcements around the missile base and uranium enrichment weren't the only Iranian provocations this week -- Tehran also seized a South Korean-flagged chemical tanker in the Persian Gulf on Monday. The US State Department condemned both the ship seizure and Iran's resumption of uranium enrichment. The US has flown B-52 bombers over the region, and on Sunday Trump ordered the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, which was due to rotate home, to remain there.
