MG Gloster review, first drive With the MG Gloster, the company wants to attract buyers looking for a big, butch luxury SUV and in our review of the upcoming SUV we take you through its exteriors, interiors, features, space, comfort, ride and handling and performance. HIGHLIGHTS Bookings are currently open for Rs 1 lakh ahead of the MG Gloster launch which will take place in October. MG Gloster prices are expected to start from around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom) going all the way up to Rs 40 lakh for the top-end Savvy variant. The MG Gloster is offered with driver assistance features like lane departure warning and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. Indians love big, burly SUVs, a fact that MG has already tried cashing in on with the Hector. Now, though, the SAIC-owned MG is ready to launch a bigger, more premium SUV in the Indian market in the form of the MG Gloster. It's already on sale in multiple markets globally under different brand names. With the Gloster, MG doesn't just plan to appeal to those for whom size matters the most, but also those on the hunt for a feature-packed luxury SUV which means the Gloster is looking to lock horns with everything right from the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour to the Skoda Kodiaq and even entry-level luxury SUVs from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the likes. Plenty has already been revealed about the car and we've already seen it at the Auto Expo back in February so, on paper at least, the MG Gloster seems to get a lot right. The MG Gloster measures 4,985mm long, 1,926mm wide and 1,867mm tall at the tape making it bigger than the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. It is also longer and taller than the Mahindra Alturas G4 but not as wide. At 2,950mm the Gloster has a longer wheelbase than those SUVs as well. Those generous proportions give it immense presence on the road of course. However, unlike the Hector, the Gloster isn’t what you’d call radical or eye-catching in terms of design as its styling follows a more conventional approach. Up front, the Gloster features a large grille finished in silver flanked by all-LED tail lamps including LED turn indicators. Lower down in the bumper you’ll find chrome appliqué around the fog lamps, which we feel should have been LED units as well keeping the premium positioning and the price of the Gloster in mind. Moving on to the side there are 19-inch two-tone alloy wheels but the more interesting element is the 'Brit Dynamic' badge with which Chinese conglomerate SAIC wants to remind onlookers of MG’s British heritage. Towards the rear, you get split tail lamps with LED detailing and a whole host of badges including the name spread across the boot lid in big bold letters. We’re not big fans of it but it’s for the owners and buyers to decide whether they like it or not. As the exterior dimensions of the MG Gloster suggest, there is acres of room within the cabin. All of the elements within the cabin certainly look quite posh like the leather treatment for the dashboard, diamond stitching pattern for the seats, the fancy-looking gear selector, etc. However, it just doesn't feel as expensive as it looks. The materials, the finish and the quality, in general, doesn't exactly relay that rich feeling you'd expect based on their appearance. Then there's the 360-degree camera view. Sure, its a premium feature, but the resolution and graphics could've been better. In this top-end Savvy trim, MG has packed the Gloster to the brim with features. There's a three-zone climate control system, a 12-speaker audio setup, a 12.3in touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support and 360-degree camera view, 8in MID for the driver, a panoramic sunroof, 64-colour ambient lighting, second-row captain seats and quite a bit more. Like the Hector, the Gloster too comes with a whole host of connected car features including one based on location, geo-fencing, remote engine on, health status and more. The driver's seat is 12-way electrically adjustable, comes with memory function and massage function as well. It also gets ventilation and heating. The co-driver's seat is 8-way electrically adjustable and gets only heating function. And while our test car came with second-row captain seats, there will be variants available with a bench that can seat three. The MG Gloster is the only SUV in this segment and price bracket to feature second-row captain seats and that's something that should help attract buyers looking to hand driving duties over to their chauffeur. These seats are quite comfortable and offer fore and aft, recline and headrest adjustments. Since the MG Gloster comes with three-zone climate control, second-row occupants get their own temperature setting as well. As far as third-row seats go, the ones within the Gloster's cabin are decent in terms of knee room and headroom. Sure, the seating position is a bit knees up, but these seats are definitely better than other third rows we've come across in SUVs the Gloster will go up against. Plus, thanks to the generous glass area, the third-row space doesn't feel claustrophobic and is more than a decent place to be for short journeys or even slightly longer ones for average-sized adults. MG has not put a number on boot capacity but with all three rows up, there is space for small suitcases or duffle bags. MG will offer the Gloster with a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine good for 218 bhp of maximum power and 480Nm of peak torque available from just 1,500rpm. Those figures mean that the Gloster has more power and torque than any other SUV in the 30 to 50 lakh price bracket. An 8-speed torque convertor automatic serves the Gloster. Performance is strong particularly in the mid-range but despite a power and torque advantage, the Gloster being bigger and heavier is more than a second slower from 0 to 100kmph than the Fortuner and the now discontinued Endeavour 3.2 posting a time of 12.1 seconds. Entry-level variants will be offered with a single turbo 2.0-litre diesel good for 163bhp and 375Nm. For the most part, the engine and transmission combo works quite well and will keep most users happy with its performance in urban confines and out on the highway. However, the transmission is a bit slow to react in kick down or when you're trying to get going after almost coming to complete stop or when you've slowed down to say under 20kmph for a speed breaker. There are multiple drive modes available including Sport, Auto and Eco. The difference between Eco and Sport wasn’t exactly very evident. In fact, in both modes, the acceleration times were identical. The driver can take manual control over gear changes with the gear selector or paddle shifters, but it doesn't like revving beyond 3,900rpm and will shift up automatically in case you don't. It doesn't like aggressive downshifts either. Another aspect most Indian users will like is the lightness of the steering wheel. At low speeds or cramped spaces, it definitely is a boon considering the weight and dimensions of the Gloster, but we would've preferred a bit more heft at higher speeds. The ride and handling overall has that characteristic body on frame feel to it as the Gloster exhibits a fair amount of body roll through corners and there’s plenty of movement along the Y-axis over large bumps and undulations, specifically at lower speeds. The Gloster’s high-speed road mannerisms are much better an it does glide over imperfections quite well. However, there is a hint of firmness to its ride, especially at lower speeds and sharp-edged bumps or potholes tend to filter into the cabin. For those looking to venture off the road, the Gloster comes with four-wheel drive, an electromechanical differential lock and off-road modes including Mud, Sand, Snow and Rock. Unlike the SUVs it will rival, the 4WD system cannot be engaged manually and kicks in only when the vehicle thinks it's required. What the MG Gloster offers, which most SUVs it will rival and even more expensive luxury offerings do no get are driver assistance features. There's lane departure warning which warns the driver if they are swaying out of their lane via a display on the MID accompanied by a beep. There's also forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Under 40kmph, the vehicle will be brought to a complete halt in case an impending collision is detected. Above 40kmph, as per the company, the vehicle reduces the speed by 40kmph to minimise the impact from a collision with the vehicle in front. The MG Gloster comes with adaptive cruise control as well, which means based on the distance you want to maintain with the vehicle in front with cruise control engaged, the car will reduce speed in case you pull up behind a slow-moving vehicle and will bring it back to cruise control speed set by the user once it is safely past that slow-moving vehicle. So, the MG Gloster looks imposing thanks to its generous size, is quite roomy on the inside and the interiors look rather fancy as well. Its got plenty of features too, some that aren’t available in this segment or even segments above. It is very comfortable too and makes a lot of sense as a chauffeur-driven vehicle thanks to the presence of second-row captain seats. But where exactly does it fit in? Well, prices haven’t been revealed yet but we’re hearing that entry-level variants will match the base Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour in terms of price while the Gloster’s mid-level trims will be priced close to the top-end variants of those two SUVs. The version we’ve shown you in this video is the range-topper and is likely to cost around Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom) which is around Rs 4 to 5 lakh more than the range-topping variants of the likes of the Fortuner and Endeavour. But for those extra lakhs, you get an SUV that’s considerably bigger and way more feature-loaded making the Gloster fantastic value for money, assuming, of course, MG prices it close to the estimated prices we've mentioned. MG Gloster specifications Engine: 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel Power: 218bhp@4,000rpm Torque: 480nm@1,500-2,400rpm Gearbox: 8-speed AT LxWxH: 4,985x1,926x 1,867mm Wheelbase: 2,950mm Fuel tank capacity: 75 litres On-demand 4WD & electro-mechanical differential lock available

Aboriginal artist wins prestigious Australian prize for first time On Friday, an Aboriginal painter won Australia's most renowned arts prize for the first time in its 99-year history for a portrait of indigenous footballer and activist Adam Goodes. On Friday, an Aboriginal painter won Australia's most renowned arts prize for the first time in its 99-year history for a portrait of indigenous footballer and activist Adam Goodes.Vincent Namatjira took the Au$100,000 ($70,000) Archibald Prize for the painting "Stand strong for who you are", which features Goodes clasping hands with the artist. "I'm so proud to be the winner of the Archibald Prize, and to be the first Aboriginal artist to win is really special," Namatjira said during the award ceremony via video link from his home in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in South Australia. Namatjira, 37, said he'd been inspired to paint the portrait after watching a 2019 documentary, "The Final Quarter", which recounts the last years of Goodes' career as an Australian Rules footballer and the controversy which swirled after he spoke out against racism in the sport."When I saw the documentary... my guts were churning as I relived Adam's experiences of relentless racism on and off the field," he said. "We share some similar stories and experiences — of disconnection from culture, language and country, and the constant pressures of being an Aboriginal man in this country," he said. "Goodesy is much more than a great footballer though, he took a strong stand against racism and said, 'enough is enough'. I stand strong with you too, brother." Goodes, one of Australia's most high-profile indigenous sportsmen, retired from the AFL in 2015 after being subjected to repeated booing. Many believe the abuse was racially motivated and stemmed from him taking exception to being called an "ape" by a young spectator two years earlier. The AFL, Australia's most spectator sport which has long featured Aboriginal players, formally apologised last year for not doing more to defend Goodes.Since retiring, Goodes has been active in promoting indigenous literacy and rights. The Archibald Prize is awarded by the Art Gallery of New South Wales for portraiture. A self-portrait by another indigenous painter, actor Meyne Wyatt, won this year's "Packing Room Prize", which is awarded by gallery staff who handle submissions for the Archibald. He was also the first Aboriginal artist to take that award.

Happiness linked to longer life A new study suggests that happiness in older people may lead to a longer life. Story highlights : Older people are up to 35% less likely to die if they report feeling happy, study finds Absence of happiness may be more important than presence of negative emotions Regions of brain involved in happiness are also involved in blood-vessel function Being happy doesn't just improve the quality of your life. According to a new study, it may increase the quantity of your life as well.Older people were up to 35% less likely to die during the five-year study if they reported feeling happy, excited, and content on a typical day. And this was true even though the researchers took factors such as chronic health problems, depression, and financial security out of the equation. "We had expected that we might see a link between how happy people felt over the day and their future mortality, but we were struck by how strong the effect was," says Andrew Steptoe, Ph.D., the lead author of the study and a professor of psychology at University College London, in the United Kingdom. Previous studies on happiness and longevity have largely relied on the participants' ability to recall how they felt during a certain period of time in the past. These recollections aren't always accurate, though, and to get around this problem Steptoe and his colleagues asked more than 3,800 people to record their levels of happiness, anxiety, and other emotions at four specific times over the course of a single day. The participants, who were between the ages of 52 and 79 when the study began, were divided into three groups according to how happy and positive they felt. Although the groups differed slightly on some measures (such as age, wealth, and smoking), they were comparable in terms of ethnic makeup, education, employment status, and overall health. Five years later, 7% of people in the least happy group had died, compared with just 4% in the happiest group and 5% in the middle group. When the researchers controlled for age, depression, chronic diseases, health behaviors (such as exercise and alcohol consumption), and socioeconomic factors, they found that the happiest and medium-happy people were 35% and 20% less likely to have died, respectively, than their gloomier counterparts. It may seem far-fetched that a person's feelings on one particular day would be able to predict the likelihood of dying in the near future, but these emotional snapshots have proven to be a good indication of overall temperament in previous studies, says Sarah Pressman, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Kansas, in Lawrence. "There is always room for error, of course; if I get a parking ticket or stub my toe on the way to the study, I'm not going to be particularly happy," says Pressman, who was not involved in the study but researches the impact of happiness on health. "But given that the study worked, it suggests that, on average, this day was fairly typical for the participants." Unlike the happiness measures, depression symptoms were not associated with mortality rates once the researchers adjusted for overall health. According to the study, this finding suggests that the absence of happiness may be a more important measure of health in older people than the presence of negative emotions. Positive emotions could contribute to better physical health in a number of ways. Regions of the brain involved in happiness are also involved in blood-vessel function and inflammation, for instance, and studies have shown that levels of the stress hormone cortisol tend to rise and fall with emotion.The study doesn't prove that happiness (or unhappiness) directly affects lifespan, but the findings do imply that doctors and caregivers should pay close attention to the emotional well-being of older patients, the researchers say. "We would not advocate from this study that trying to be happier would have direct health benefits," Steptoe says. However, this study and others like it should help establish happiness as a legitimate area of concern for health professionals, Pressman says. "There are still some people who see happiness as something fluffy and less scientific -- not something they should be worried about like, say, stress or depression," she says. Happiness, she adds, "may be something for doctors to ask their patients about." The study, which was published today in the Proceedings of the Academy of National Sciences, included participants from a larger, long-running British study on aging. The authors received funding from the British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research UK, and the (U.S.) National Institute on Aging.

Covid: US death toll passes 200,000 The US coronavirus death toll has passed 200,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University (JHU).More than 6.8 million people are known to have been infected in the US, more than in any other country.The milestone comes amid an increase in cases in a number of states, including North Dakota and Utah. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the new death toll was a "horrible thing" and claimed China "should have stopped" the virus.He also defended his record, claiming that had the US not taken action, "you could have two million, 2.5 or three million" dead.JHU reported the new death toll of 200,005 on Tuesday. The university has been collecting US and global coronavirus data since the outbreak began late last year in China. The first case in the US was confirmed in January. President Trump's administration has been repeatedly criticised over its handling of the outbreak. "Due to Donald Trump's lies and incompetence in the past six months, [we] have seen one of the greatest losses of American life in history," Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said on Monday."With this crisis, a real crisis, a crisis that required serious presidential leadership, he just wasn't up to it. He froze. He failed to act. He panicked. And America has paid the worst price of any nation in the world." But on the same day, Mr Trump said he and his administration had done "a phenomenal job" and gave himself an "A+" for his handling of the pandemic.He said the US was "rounding the corner on the pandemic, with or without a vaccine". What's the current situation in the US? North Dakota has seen a sharp rise in coronavirus cases in recent weeks. Officials say there were more than 3,200 active cases in the state as of Monday, while 87 people are in hospital.The state ranks first in the country for the number of cases per capita in the past two weeks, according to data cited by the Associated Press news agency.Cases are also rising in states including Utah, Texas and South Dakota. On Tuesday, Wisconsin extended a public health emergency order for the third time since 30 July. There is growing concern that infections will continue to rise during the winter months.US infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci warned earlier this month that Americans should "hunker down" for autumn and winter.On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) removed guidance on airborne transmission of coronavirus that had been updated on Friday. In the now removed advice, the CDC said the virus could spread via particles that remain in the air and advised on the use of air purifiers indoors.The CDC said this was a "draft version of proposed changes" and had been "posted in error".

Developing a Digital Paper Trail for Better Health Salzburg Global Fellow Louise Schaper discusses the "global problem" of paper-based health care systems and the need to move toward digital health care The field of digital health falls at the intersection of technological advancement and health care delivery. According to the World Health Organization, digital health provides opportunities to accelerate progress in achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 3, Good Health and Well-Being. Whereas traditional health care systems have run mostly on paper for data and information collection, digital health care systems, as the name suggests, aim to digitize data collection, improving the process for health care seekers and providers alike. Salzburg Global Fellow Louise Schaper has worked in the field of digital health for the past two decades. She has spent the latter decade as the chief executive officer of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH). Schaper says the Institute "provides a much-needed space for the entire digital health community of Australia to come together and collaborate on projects to advance the cause of digital health in Australia." The Institute works toward the creation of a connected health system and digitally competent health workforce. Schaper says, "It's a global problem that health care in 2020 in many places across the world still runs on paper." Founded in February 2020, the Institute is the result of the merger of the Health Informatics Society of Australia and the Australasian College of Health Informatics. The two organizations had been working closely for years, and shared many common goals and objectives. The Institute operates on an individual and organizational membership model, and hosts accessible programs and services on digital health and related topics. Seeking to “develop collaborative partnerships, elevate the voice of consumers and build an empowered health workforce delivering care in a digital world,” the Institute promotes the exchange of ideas and information from Fellows and members. Despite being less than a year old, the Institute already boasts a community of over 36,000, over 1700 members, over 100 industry partners, and over 3000 events attendees, with a vision to expand further. Practically speaking, digital health care systems are much more efficient than their paper-driven counterparts, where practitioners often only collect information for a singular purpose or visit. Schaper notes information doesn't "flow easily" throughout the health care system, often requiring each member of a person's care team to collect the same data. But despite the efficiency, digital health care systems are not the norm, primarily because of the tremendous costs associated with implementing such a system. "In developed countries like Australia… huge amounts of money are required. So if you want to take your hospital that pretty much runs on paper, and put a full[y] electronic system in, you need hundreds of millions of dollars… That's why we don't have these systems as widespread as we'd like because it's usually expensive." Implementing digital health care systems is already a difficult task in the developed world. In developing countries, it might seem near impossible, owing to the lack of technological infrastructure. However, Schaper says this isn't the case. "Developing countries, in a lot of aspects, do better than us in the Western world… If you've got [lots] of money, then you think…to solve this problem that's in front of me, I need to throw money at it, I need to hire people, I need to buy software… And when you don't have money, you have to be creative and innovative and resourceful, and resilient. All of those things which I don't think are lauded enough… So there are lots of examples in developing countries that they do better [because] spending hundreds of millions of dollars on an IT system is… just not even worth considering. So there's a lot of open access software [which is] very, very low cost and that you can put in place." Schaper believes integrating digital health into university curricula is an effective way to ensure future health care practitioners are exposed to this subject before they even begin their careers. Traditional curriculum in Australia, she says, does not always include modules on digital health. When it does, the modules are often elective. This arrangement means scores of new health care practitioners who join the workforce every year are unfamiliar with the subject and not always likely to pursue it further. Schaper stresses health care practitioners should not think of digital health only as a technology issue. "It's really about improved patient care and quality of outcomes," she says. The COVID-19 pandemic has reaffirmed to Schaper the importance of having a digital health care system and a digitally competent health workforce. Looking ahead, she hopes digital health can become commonplace so health care workers can better use the information to provide high-quality patient care, and not just focus on digitizing it. "The fact [is] that we don't have good systems in place… the way that we build organizations, build protocols, build collaborations across countries, they're not there. So this information isn't where it needs to be so that we can act on it quickly. … I would hope that [AIDH] can contribute to that journey." Schaper recognizes the importance of having diverse perspectives to be able to solve a problem, something she was lucky to find during her time in Salzburg. A Fellow of Session 553: Toward a Shared Culture of Health: Enriching and Charting the Patient-Clinician Relationship, Schaper says, "The only way we can solve problems is by bringing people together from diverse perspectives, who have diverse journeys, who have diverse knowledge and experience to bring to the table, and by drawing from that diversity and having that diversity as a strength to collaborate on solving problems." Schaper has many goals for AIDH over the next decade. One, in particular, is her hope the Institute has to rename itself. She says, "I'd love in 10 years if we have to rename ourselves… because digital health doesn't exist. I would love to see [if digital] health care can become just health care and remove the "digital" … it seems ridiculous to refer to it as such because that's just how we do health care now."

Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined: Special Edition E-Book Salzburg Global Seminar and partners - WISE and Diplomatic Courier - launch e-book covering school responses to the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic It is no longer news that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about massive disruption to the education ecosystem—to the learners, teachers, school leaders, parents, and policymakers alike. The changes have been so pervasive, fast-moving, and frequent that one could blink and miss them. After all, there have only been few instances in human history when disruption at this magnitude happened in the span of less than a year. Since early February, more than a billion students have been out of school—some of them will not be able to return. UN Secretary-General António Guterres recently called this a “generational catastrophe” and indeed, some of the gains we have made in the past 25 years through the Millennium Development Goals and now the Sustainable Development Goals, were erased just in the first five months of the pandemic. But this is not a story of despair. This is a story of resilience and hope. The special edition e-book—Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined: Responses from education’s frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond—launched on September 21, was produced in real time, as Salzburg Global Seminar, in partnership with WISE, convened key stakeholders and education leaders from over 98 countries in a three-part series of global conferences aimed at bringing the global education community together. The result is a contemporary historical record of how schools, NGOs, governments, and international organizations responded to school closures during the crisis and how they are attempting to use this crisis as a springboard to reimagine—and even transform—education in their communities and countries. Key stakeholders on education’s frontline during the crisis, including from schools, NGOs, governments, and international organizations, contributed over 40 articles and essays, documenting the experiences, struggles, successes, and innovations of key institutions on education’s frontline. From documenting the crisis in real-time to offering short- and long-term solutions, one question remains now: what’s next; what will change? The e-book offers an opportunity to a global audience to make sense of what happened but it also offers a breeding ground of ideas from some of the world’s top education thinkers. It is the editors’ sincere hope that through this publication we provide the education community with a reference point from the crisis from which future research, policy, and innovation can grow. “It is our hope that this publication will provide the education community with a reference point from the crisis from which future research, policy, and innovation can grow,” said Dr. Asmaa Al-Fadala, editor of the publication and Director of Research and Content Development at WISE and multi-time Salzburg Global Fellow. Salzburg Global Program Director for the series, Education for Tomorrow's World, Dominic Regester said: “In in many ways this e-book acts as a record of education responses to the disruption caused by the first phase of the pandemic. It also contains some compelling visions of achievable changes to education systems that would produce more equitable outcomes that are more relevant to 21st century lives. The pandemic has reiterated how important school is to young people and their families and has also shown many ways in which the experience of school can change.” He added: “This feels like the beginning of a much longer term project between WISE and Salzburg Global Seminar and we are excited to be a part of it.” Contributors include: Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al-Thani The Right Honorable Gordon Brown Marc A.

Lifestyle habits to teach your kids It is important that you set an example for your young ones by following a disciplined routine and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In the era of Instagram and Snapchat, there’s a lot of information available online that may not always be the solution to all your kids’ problems. Fad diets like keto, paleo, and military diets are taking social media by storm and they seem to be very appealing to young individuals who put a premium on physical appearance. These diets are often short-term solutions and they end up having long-term adverse effects. Hence, now more than ever, we need to help our children understand what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle. As a parent, you pass more than just your genes to your children. Kids tend to pick up your habits from an early age, both good and bad. Hence, it is important that you set an example for your young ones by following a disciplined routine and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. When healthy habits are instilled early on in one’s life, it becomes part of a lifestyle routine and goes a long way in ensuring a happier, healthier, and disease-free life. Here are a few habits that I have inculcated in my kids. Don’t skip breakfast : “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” is an adage I have personally lived by. It not only helps kids to kickstart their day with good energy levels but also teaches them to stick to regular meal times and teaches them the importance of having a routine. It is important to teach kids the value of being armed with good discipline as it always lends a better perspective towards life. Following the body’s biological clock also helps to keep chronic diseases at bay and ensures that your kids avoid late nights and drowsy mornings. Having a balanced and nutritious breakfast goes a long way in promoting an overall healthy lifestyle.Teach your kids healthy nutrition practices at an early age Get off the sofa and out the door : With the pandemic-induced lockdown now having tied kids to their screens, it is extremely important for them to get enough exercise. Kids today aren’t playing outside as they used to; FIFA, Angry Birds, and Call of Duty have become the norm as opposed to Hide and Seek, Kick the Can, and Catch and Cook. It is important to get your kids out the door and ensure that they are exercising in some way or another for at least an hour everyday. Being physically active from an early age ensures that your kids have improved academic scores and are actively engaged in sports. The endorphins released when you exercise help fight academic stress and emotional distress. Playing a sport also teaches kids how to deal with life’s highs and lows from a young age and it also helps to enhance their social skills. Today a reader, tomorrow a leader : Make your kid read 10 minutes every day before going to bed. Let them choose what they like to read. Strong reading skills are essential to building a well-versed vocabulary. Make reading a fun activity so that they view it as a treat and not a boring chore. Ingraining the habit of reading reaps high returns in the long run as books will always help kids learn and add to their body of knowledge. Family time is important : Creating a bond with your child and making them comfortable with confiding in you is one of the most rewarding experiences. Assigning dinner as a family meal is an easy way to go about this. This makes it easier to ensure that everyone is eating nourishing meals together. You can use dinner as an opportunity to have a conversation with your kids about their day; discuss films, literature, politics or whatever it is that excites you and them. Make it a point to take an interest in their interests even when they are something you never imagined being interested in! And lastly, be open-minded and understanding of the changing times, this ensures that they are comfortable reaching out to you when they are in need of help. Sleep well : There’s nothing better for your kids’ routine than eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Poor sleeping patterns can cause a decrease in the release of growth hormones, hence, affecting the development of bones and other cells and tissue. It also negatively affects immunity levels, leads to forgetfulness, and lack of concentration. Sleeping early and developing a daily routine that isn’t interrupted on weekends will only do your child good in the long run. Hygiene is two-thirds of health : Kids must be taught the importance of basic hygiene from a young age. Practices such as brushing twice a day, flossing your teeth, washing your hands before and after each meal are simple and effective routines to keep illnesses at bay. It is essential that we teach our young kids the importance of being clean and well-groomed. Inculcating these habits from childhood will help kids have healthy teeth, good skin, and good gut health! There are no bad emotions : Raising emotionally healthy kids ensures that they do not look to food for comfort and prevents them from resorting to alcohol and drugs as a coping mechanism in their later years. Teach them to embrace all kinds of emotions because they have a right to their feelings. Allow them to release emotions such as anger and sadness in a healthy way from a young age. Teach kids the value of habits such as journaling and meditation; this could help them develop a good sense of judgment. Talking to them about anger management techniques can help them understand when to walk away from fraught situations. Allow them to cry and talk about their feelings as it helps teenagers deal with their sadness. Showing emotion must always be encouraged and not suppressed. Raising a child comes with its ups and downs. Hopefully, my advice helps make your journey easier. !

Volkswagen Teases The New Taos Compact SUV For The US Market Volkswagen has officially released a new teaser of its upcoming SUV. The newest offering will be called Volkswagen Taos which is all set to make its debut on October 13, 2020. Volkswagen has teased its all-new Taos compact SUV and it will make its debut in the United States. The carmaker will be revealing its newest offering on October 13, 2020. The upcoming Taos will be slotted below the Tiguan SUV in Volkswagen's line-up. With this new car the brand is doubling up its SUV products globally and the US especially ollowing the launch of Atlas Cross Sport earlier this year. The SUV is expected to be built at its Puebla factory in Mexico. Expect the compact SUV to go on sale in 2021, and the Taos could be a 2022 model year product. The SUV is specifically designed for the North American region, thus the 'Taos' nameplate was chosen to resonate with American customers. Interestingly, the Taos Town bounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains is home to about 6000 people which boasts a 400-year history. The town has inhabited a 1,000-year-old Native American community just a few miles from the center of town. The teaser image shows the silhouette of the SUV revealing it would look somewhat similar to the Tiguan. However, it will be smaller in terms of proporition. The German carmaker also sells a similar car in China which is called Tharu. The SUV sports a thin LED strip flanking the headlights something that we have already seen on the Tiguan. The Chinese version, the Volkswagen Tharu is offered with a choice of two powertrain options - 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit and a 2.0-litre diesel. Both the engines come mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox with an option of front-wheel and rear-wheel drive setups. However, the North American version of the SUV could be seen with different components altogether.

According to the Council, the containment zones, that refer to a specific geographical area where positive cases of coronavirus are found are dynamic in nature and they do not fit into nationally representative sampling. "The ICMR has been continuously communicating with the respective state authorities. The findings of the previous survey from the dynamic containment zones have been communicated to the states for further action. To further aid in developing state intervention plans, following the ICMR survey, states have also conducted their zone/city-specific surveys," it said in a subsequent tweet. The findings of the first national po[CENSORED]tion-based serosurvey indicated that 0.73 per cent of adults in India were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection, amounting to 6.4 million infections in total.
