  2. Styled by Tanya Ghavri, the short outfit featured a train but it mostly stood out for its bright colour; check out the pictures Trends might come and go but neon colours are here to stay. Every now and then someone opts for them, reminding us of their timelessness. Recently Janhvi Kapoor, who is busy promoting her upcoming film Roohi, looked striking in an Alex Perry neon ensemble. Styled by Tanya Ghavri, the off-shoulder outfit featured a train but it mostly stood out for the colour: neon green. The look was completed with a nude make-up palette and hair parted at the center. Janhvi has been seen sporting the colour in the past, too. Styled by Mohit Rai, the Dhadak actor gave regular athleisure a stylish twist. We dig the neon green cut-out jacket and the way it was styled with a white bralette and a matching skirt with knot detailing. The look was pulled together with hair parted at the center and accessorised with holographic stilettos. Much like her present look, she had kept her make-up minimal then as well. The glossy lipstick really worked.

  3. Rabat – In a fiery speech on Wednesday, Morocco’s former Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane repeated five key myths about cannabis that have no basis in reality. Now that the government has confirmed it will approve the legal production of cannabis, Morocco World News dispels the five fundamental misunderstandings opponents of the cash crop continue to parrot. Benkirane’s speech, although delivered with the zeal of the religious, continued to present unfortunate myths that have delayed and muddied Morocco’s debate on cannabis. Repeating colonial narratives about the substance, Morocco’s former PM revealed the outdated arguments that are still in use against one of Morocco’s most promising economic developments. Myth 1: Legalizing cannabis does not help poor farmers Abdelilah Benkirane started his speech calling those urging cannabis legalization “thugs.” He posed that anti-prohibition arguments were “lies” aimed at promoting “evil.” Yet, Benkirane’s remarks appear to ignore one important factor. The debate over legalizing cannabis is not one over whether to introduce cannabis to Morocco; it is already here in abundance. While Benkirane tried to rubbish claims that legalization would improve farmers’ enjoyment of human rights, the facts prove this over and over. Currently over 30,000 farmers remain de-facto imprisoned in their villages because they fear prosecution if they travel to Morocco’s cities. This unfortunate state means farmers are cut off from receiving proper health care, accessing state support, and petitioning their government. There is no doubt that the current legal state of cannabis imprisons thousands and robs them of their key human rights. Farmers remain at the mercy of organized crime in order to support their families, send their children to school, and collect funds to eventually retire. Legalizing cannabis means farmers will finally see recognition for their labor. It will remove them from the informal economy and remove the continuous threat of arrest and prosecution for their choice of crop to grow. Myth 2: Embracing cannabis is bad for Morocco’s reputation Legalizing cannabis, according to Benkirane, would mean “disasters will take place all over Morocco, its reputation will be at stake.” Again, Benkirane appears to be working from the assumption that there is no cannabis currently, or that the world is not aware that Morocco is its second biggest producer worldwide. Morocco’s international image is already connected to its famous cannabis products. One part of that is indeed negative—massive drug seizures, smuggling, and drug dealing do besmirch the country’s name. Yet these negatives all revolve around the illegality of cannabis. Were cannabis legal there would be no seizures, no drug dealers or smugglers. Instead there would be a legal industry such as those in Canada or the US, key Moroccan trading partners. On the other hand, Morocco’s reputation regarding cannabis is also positive with certain demographics. Thousands of backpackers and young tourists tour the Rif’s green fields and visit cities such as Chefchaouen exactly because of its reputation as a laid-back place to consume Morocco’s famous export. Legalizing the industry would bring a new category of cannabis-oriented tourists as well, those high-end travelers looking for wellness and beauty clinics where cannabis can be a key component in products. Another key point is that Morocco would not be a pioneer for legalizing cannabis. Dozens of countries have in some form legalized the substance, with no negative impact on their international relations or reputation. Cannabis and Morocco are already linked, the question is who benefits, Moroccans in general, or those at the top of organized crime organizations. Myth 3: More cannabis = more crime In his speech, Morocco’s former PM repeated the much-disproved talking point that more cannabis means more crime. Benikrane spoke of unspecified “disasters” and a rise in the homicide rate if Morocco were to legalize cannabis. Again, dozens of other countries who have legalized it in some form have disproven this claim. Legalizing cannabis in fact ensures an enormous drop in crime. This is because an estimated $8 billion market would suddenly no longer be illegal. Legalizing cannabis would pull tens of thousands of farmers and distributors out of illegality, would allow the government to tax and control labor practices, and would free the police from focusing time and effort arresting cannabis-related non-violent criminals. Stopping crime was a key factor for legalization efforts in Europe. Both the Netherlands and Portugal managed to realize a significant drop in crime through their efforts to take cannabis out of the shadows. Ending the prohibition would actually free time and resources for police to prosecute violent crimes, meaning that legalization is likely to lead to a drop in crime. Myth 4: Cannabis is evil and incompatible with Islam Benikrane repeatedly described cannabis as “evil” and against Islam. Again, the facts do not support the statement. Thousands of patients around the world benefit from the therapeutic and medical qualities of cannabis, helping them relieve symptoms of horrible afflictions such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders, or chronic pain. Benikrane stated that Morocco’s royal house and its predecessors “have always fought against drugs, cannabis and even smoking.” Ironically, Benikrane appears to not count Morocco’s pre-colonial history. Cannabis was not historically illegal in Morocco. Instead, it was European colonizers that banned the substance. The prohibition on cannabis is a remnant of Western imperialism and colonialism. The basis for banning cannabis in the first place stemmed from deep-seeded racism and white supremacy. Regarding Islam’s prohibition on cannabis, Benikrane also presents an age-old debate into black-and-white facts. For centuries Muslims have seen cannabis as one of many plants that has medical qualities. While the intoxicating effect of non-medicinal use might be a taboo comparable to alcohol, cannabis is undoubtedly less intoxicating and addictive than alcohol. Most importantly, cannabis products do not have to be intoxicating to help heal patients. CBD extracts and other methods of removing the intoxicating effects from the substance mean that patients have a natural and organic alternative to prescription pharmaceutical medicines that often have such an effect. The debate around cannabis’ status in Islam appears to somewhat resemble the debate around coffee in centuries past. Coffee, an addictive stimulant, was considered both haram and immoral using the same arguments that Benikrane makes about cannabis—that it is bad for health and society. Yet, the debate continues and the status of coffee changed. Myth 5: Medical cannabis is just an excuse Benikrane’s skepticism regarding medical cannabis conflicts with both modern and ancient views on the plant’s medical qualities. Cannabis enjoyed recognition for its medicinal effects long before European powers created the false narrative around cannabis that Berkane continues to promote. The oldest remaining text on the medicinal quality of cannabis stems from the Islamic scientific golden age. Renowned Islamic scientist Ibn Sina, known in the west as Avicenna, included cannabis in his “Canon of Medicine.” Ibn Sina’s seminal medical book became the preeminent scientific text on the topic for many centuries after its first publication. A 2001 study for the Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics established that “Arab scientists were several centuries ahead of our current knowledge of the curative power of hemp.” Reclaiming cannabis as a medical resource that Islamic science has used and promoted for centuries helps decolonialize Morocco’s western-influenced prohibition. Morocco has the opportunity to remove taboos that were first imagined in Washington, London, and Paris, re-establish a centuries-old connection, and abolish shame regarding Morocco’s famous cannabis products. Additionally, if the government wants to discourage the use of cannabis, especially among the youth, legalization would actually allow for this to become a realistic objective. As long as cannabis is illegal there is no minimum age for consumption. As difficult as it is for an underage person to buy a bottle of wine, buying a few grams of hashish has no effective barriers for Morocco’s youth. Dispelling misinformation about cannabis is important. Colonial powers have invented and promoted narratives around the substance, with racism and oppression as these narratives’ main ingredients. Morocco has the unique advantage of being able to learn from other countries’ experiences with legalization and develop a truly Moroccan way of addressing the issue.

  13. Welcome

  15. How extraordinary is it that these two little sports cars, one pretty and delicate, the other more pugnacious and purposeful, span a third of the entire production history of Lotus Cars? It’s extraordinary for me, because I remember the beginning so well: a secret road trip right at the start of 1996 (it might even have been the end of 1995) with a talented young chassis developer called Matt Becker (now chief engineer of vehicle attribute engineering at Aston Martin) and an amazing new Lotus. It’s also extraordinary because if you look at Lotus 25 years before the Elise was born, you will find that its model range included the original Elan and Europa, which feel like ancient history. And 25 years before that, Lotus didn’t exist. So there was only ever going to be one place to drive them: the Hethel test track on which both were developed, outside the factory in which both were built. But what, exactly, do we have here? The blue Elise is one of the last: a run-out special called the Sport 240 Final Edition. These days there’s no such thing as an entry-level Elise, the normally aspirated 1.6-litre car having been discontinued in 2018. There are just two: the Sport 220, costing £41,496, and the track-day-oriented Cup 250 for £49,595. That sounds a lot, considering the first Elise went on sale in 1996 for £18,950, but not when you consider the additional 100bhp of even the Sport 220 and the fact that £18,950 back then is roughly £37,000 today. The Sport 240 is priced at £45,500 and production is limited only by the number of people who order one before the autumn, when, as we’ve already reported, the Elise and its Exige and Evora siblings will die to make way for a new sports car known today only as the Type 131. As its name suggests, this latest and last Elise offers 240bhp from its supercharged 1.8-litre Toyota engine, which is essentially double that of the S1 Elise parked next to it, whose naturally aspirated Rover engine is just 2cc smaller. Of course, there were far more powerful K-series S1 and S2 Elises, but we wanted the bookends for this story, which meant a car that was early, standard and original, right down to its unique metal-matrix-composite (MMC) disc brakes (of which more in a minute). There are all sorts of options you can add on your Sport 240 to hoist its price northwards, but the standard proposition comprises not only that 23bhp hike from the Elise 220 but also ultra-light, forged, 10-spoke alloy wheels; a new TFT instrument display; and a new steering wheel. There are, of course, Final Edition plaques scattered around and bespoke colours, but otherwise and in mechanical terms, the car is standard. Commensurate upgrades to the Exige are available too. The S1 Elise now looks from another era. The shape conceived for it by Julian Thomson is more rounded, cleaner and has elements of the Ferrari Dino 246GT, whose owners include none other than, er, Julian Thomson. The S3 shape has a stack more presence and looks modern enough to be brand new, even though it differs little to the S2 shape that was launched 20 years ago. It’s what’s called timeless design. I can’t decide which I prefer because (to me, at least, and for entirely different reasons) both are gorgeous. I drive the old car first. I’m not sure why; perhaps because it has been a couple of decades and I’m itching to find out whether the feel of the thing is as I remember it to be. Happily, the car is cosmetically excellent and mechanically perfect, so there’s no trying to second-guess what it might have felt like when new. Best of all (and save a sports exhaust that adds no power and slightly later Bilstein dampers in place of the original Koni set), it’s absolutely factory standard. Just as it was the day it first poked its prow out of this place in early 1998. It’s an easy car to fall into and comfortable once you’re there. The driving position and pedal arrangement are near perfect, too. But there are certain aspects to it that wouldn’t be acceptable today: it’s extremely difficult to depart on a wet day because the footwells are so slippery and not even the most seasoned professional could erect its roof in a rainstorm without ending up as wet as if they had just lain in the bath. I’m itching to get out there, and so is the little Lotus. With those genius MMC brakes, which work on the principle of adherent rather than abrasive friction and therefore last almost forever, swapping material from pad to disc and back again, it weighs just 725kg, making it more than 20% lighter than the Sport 240. The K-series starts with that enthusiastic bark of old, the gearlever slots into place with the same old slightly imprecise action and we’re off. At once it seems quick, crisp, eager and together. Even before we’re up to speed, the steering is writhing gently in my hands, flooding my fingers with information and my brain with the happiest of memories. The track is flooded too, but that appears to deter the Elise not at all. It still feels quick enough, pleasant and purposeful performance spread across a surprisingly wide rev band. Lotuses have never been about straight-line speed anyway, their powertrains perpetually cast in supporting roles to their chassis, and this one is more than adequate. But that chassis… oh my goodness. It communicates with its own kind of hyper-reality. In terms of the way it feels, it offers ultra-high definition in an increasingly low-resolution world. You think and then it acts instantly, accurately and without question. It doesn’t really have a handling balance, because you can make it do anything you like: steady-state understeer, exquisite wheel-twitching neutrality or sideways as Mk2 Ford Escort on gravel: the choice is yours. Rotten weather obviously helps you skid about in a not very powerful, mid-engined car without a limited-slip differential because the one thing that it doesn’t want to do is drift, but even here there are options. Nail the throttle and it will fruitlessly spin the power away, but coax it rather than goad it, feed it measured, gentle stabs of torque, and then you will see this old Elise at its acrobatic, balletic and brilliant best. The Sport 240 is a more serious proposition. It feels far more solid and better put together (because it is) and wildly easier to live with. Indeed, this latter aspect may not be spoken about much, but it’s probably the area in which the Elise has evolved most over the years and is most responsible for its unusual longevity. It’s fast, too, spinning its wheels, skipping over the puddles and instantly giving me far more to think about than the old car. But I love this powertrain. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say I love the application of this powertrain in this car. It feels as appropriate to an early-21st-century Lotus as did the K-series to one from the late 20th century. And its behaviour? It still leaves the shots for you to call. Unlike its grandfather, this Elise has safety systems that I could leave on, but what would be the point of that? There’s steady, stabilising understeer in the quick stuff, as you would hope; but in the Sport 240, there’s the power to cancel it towards the apex. If there’s a downside, it’s that the back moves more rapidly in slower turns, requiring just a little more care and precision to collect. But this is minutiae, really: neither car felt for a moment like it might continue to rotate when instructed otherwise. Interestingly, that’s one thing Elises did do in the early days, resulting in plenty of unplanned interactions with the scenery, and I suspect that’s why this car now sports those Bilstein dampers. So which is the better driving machine (or, indeed, the better Lotus, because those are one and the same)? The older car is more surprising, just to see how capable it remains even after a quarter of a century. It feels more delicate and agile, too, and for that you can thank the 206kg difference in their kerb weights. But the Sport 240 is a wildly easier car with which to live, obviously offers a completely different level of performance and loses remarkably little in terms of the purity of feel that is the hallmark of all great Lotuses. I could extemporise further on their relative merits, but I would only conclude what you already know: cars this far apart in age aren’t strictly comparable. The S1 would be the one I would take to the pub and the Sport 240 the one I would choose for any kind of decent journey. One more lap? In the wet, the S1; in the dry, the Sport 240. It’s that close. What’s more important, at least to me, is that they still feel closely related – one a direct development of the other. For what this means is that the character of the Elise has survived from first to last. This isn’t a given: other great names are very different propositions today compared with what they first were, not just in terms of capability but also, more importantly, character. You only have to look at the BMW M3 to know it. Lotus has done a fine job preserving so much of what made the Elise such a transformative product. Just be in no doubt that that will be a walk in the park compared with the job of preserving it for another, but increasingly electrified, generation. But that’s another conversation for another time. For now, I would just like to salute the Elise and all those who kept it so good for so long. Make no mistake: when someone writes the final history of Lotus, it will be up there with the original Elite and Elan among the truest icons of the brand. How to buy a used Elise You need to be careful when buying a used Elise, because so many have had hard lives but can look better than they are, due to their aluminium chassis and glassfibre bodies. Most importantly, look for accident damage. Plenty have been crashed and repairs are expensive and difficult, which makes some inclined to bodge. The early K-series Rover engines aren’t as strong as their Toyota replacements but are actually quite reliable if maintained properly. However, head gasket failure is common, so look for oil in the water, often signalled by an emulsion under the radiator cap. It’s crucial to ensure that the suspension is straight, uncorroded and correct in spec. If not, it at best won’t drive as an Elise should. So it’s worth it even more than usual to get the right car with a complete history of fastidious owners. It may cost more at the outset but, in the long run, these are likely to be the best-value Elises to own and the most fun to drive. There have been more than 50 Elises if you include track cars, race cars, special editions and relations such as the 340R, 2-Eleven and Vauxhall VX220 – and that’s before you add all the Exiges. Here’s our pick of the mainstream versions.

  16. While menopause is the most natural process a woman goes through, no one prepares her for it. But just like any other change, it brings about significant transitions. Dr Mikki Singh, a dermatologist, cosmetologist, trichologist and head of Centre of Excellence, Bodycraft Clinic in Bengaluru says: “During menopause, women might experience dryness, adult acne, melasma, and thinning of the skin.” She explains one of the main causes of all these changes is that the body faces a reduction in the stimulation of estrogen and collagen. In order to keep dullness and sagging away, one needs to modify their skincare routine according to the needs of the body. She mentions some of the steps that can be followed. As we age, our body produces less collagen and that is why our skin gets drier. “Hydrate your skin by cleansing it, but not too much that the natural oils are stripped off. “Use a moisturiser that suits you and helps you keep your skin hydrated at all times,” suggests Dr Singh. She adds that drinking water can help flush out toxins. “Water is your best friend.” Never forget your sunscreen It is no secret that UVA/UVB rays can cause age spots and accelerates signs of aging. You must wear sunscreen indoors, too. “During the period of menopause — because of the decrease in the production of collagen in the body — the skin starts to age faster. You must carry your sunscreen with you all the time and apply a minimum of 30 SPF,” suggests the dermatologist. Visit a dermatologist regularly Dr Singh shares how women who have never experienced acne in their life complain about adult acne and melasma during menopause. “Although it is not similar for every woman, it is better to visit your dermatologist to understand the changes that your skin is going through which can help you do just the right thing.” Consider using skin boosters Skin boosters are enriched with a rich component known as ‘hyaluronic acid’, which can help keep your skin hydrated from the inside and reduce the fine lines. “It should be incorporated into your yearly skincare plan as these skin boosters last somewhere between six to nine months and can help keep the skin supple.”
