A Chinese health official said, Friday, that the country's annual production capacity for coronavirus vaccines will exceed one billion doses next year, after a strong government support program to build new factories. Cheng Zhongwei, from the National Health Commission, said the capacity is expected to reach 610 million doses by the end of this year. He added, during a press conference, that "next year, our annual capacity will reach more than one billion doses." US drug companies Pfizer and Moderna aim to produce one billion doses in 2021 as well. Zheng said that distributing vaccines will give priority to groups such as medical workers, border officials and the elderly, before making them available to the general public. China has strengthened the construction of vaccine testing facilities and manufacturing facilities, and has commissioned independent monitors to assemble them. China has 11 candidate vaccines for human trials, four of them are currently in the third and final trials. One of these vaccines is "Koronavac", which is made by the private company "Sinovac", which is already preparing the plant floor in a biosecure facility outside Beijing. Senovac Chairman Yin Weidong said on Thursday that the plant had been built in months, and more could be built if demand was sufficient. Some countries are making a combined effort on vaccines to ensure success against the disease. More than 150 countries are establishing the Kovacs facility, which is a bulk procurement mechanism for COVID-19 vaccines coordinated by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), under the supervision of the World Health Organization. "The goal should be to vaccinate some people in all countries, not all people in some countries," WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said earlier this month.

Over the past six months, many of us have been trying to replicate our morning takeout in our kitchens. From beans to milk, here’s how to get the most from your mug As the world of work has changed this year, so has the world of coffee. With more people working from home, and fewer opportunities to grab a cup on the go, more of us are trying to replicate our morning takeout in our own kitchen. Of course there’s nothing wrong with just a jar of instant - but if you want to up your coffee-making game the choices are pretty much endless. For those on the quest for the ultimate, world-beating cup of coffee-heaven, here’s our expert guide. Take it slow Jonny England, global head of coffee at Pret a Manger, cautions that you shouldn’t feel the need to try to leap to barista-level coffee expertise from a standing start. "For example, if you’re an instant-coffee drinker, something as simple as switching to roast and ground and making a really great cafetiere in the morning is a huge leap forward in coffee quality." If this will be your first time buying beans, England suggests you “use a storage clip to keep your pack sealed, and store in a cool, dry place away from any strong odors or sunlight”. Definitely, definitely, do not put them in the fridge. “This will actually accelerate the coffee degrading, due to the moisture and strong odours of food products in your fridge,” he says. “Coffee is like a sponge and soaks up any odours it is exposed to. You really don’t want your coffee to start tasting like blue cheese! ” What type of coffee should you buy? It’s important to remember that your taste in coffee is completely subjective, so some element of trial and error is to be expected. Anson Goodge, the head trainer at Ozone Coffee Roasters in London, suggests visiting coffee shops in the spirit of experimentation. "You can gain a lot from having a chat with the baristas and asking what coffee they use." The bean 'grade' The biggest factor in making expert coffee is the quality and freshness of beans. “There’s specialty-grade and commodity-grade beans,” says Goodge. “Pretty much everything you see in a supermarket is commodity-grade coffee. Specialty grade means the cherries are selected and handpicked. They grow at higher climates to develop more natural sweetness. The cherry will develop more acids and that’s where you get diversity of flavor; so whether the coffee tastes kind of tea-like, or like raspberries or a bit like strawberries - it starts getting a little more interesting just because it has more time to develop those flavors. ” Another reason to avoid buying your beans from a supermarket: they are likely to have been lingering on a shelf for longer, compromising freshness. Do you really need to grind your own? Yes, the mark of a true connoisseur has always been whether or not they grind their own beans. Lewis Spencer of Coffee Direct says: “Pre-ground coffee simply cannot retain the same potent flavors. The moment air starts interacting with coffee particles, they begin to dissipate. With ground coffee, you basically have a larger surface area, which increases the coffee-to-air interactions. "

KBB Editors’ Overview The Sorento has been a steady good seller, and Kia hopes this new 4th-generation model will capture some of the magic of its super successful and slightly larger sibling, the Telluride. At first glance, the new Sorento looks poised to do so, thanks to bold new sharp-edged styling done at the company’s design studio in California. Just as important, the new Sorento, which goes on sale in early 2021, has been improved in multiple other ways. There are four efficient powertrains available (including a new PHEV model arriving a bit later in the year), and there’s more welcome hardware in the standard safety suite. Additionally, the new chassis, with a 1.4-inch-longer wheelbase, is lighter and stronger than before, while having increased interior room and reduced levels of interior noise. Also, for the first time, the Sorento will be available with 2nd-row captain’s chairs. The new top Sorento is the X-Line SX-Prestige AWD, a premium model with an emphasis on technology and off-road ability. To that end, it has an inch higher ride height for more underbody clearance, plus a locking center differential and downhill descent control. This new top model also has distinctive exterior details, unique 20-inch alloy wheels, and a bridge-type roof rack. While some of us will miss the Sorento V6 and its good max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the added efficiency of the modern 4-cylinder engines will be appreciated far more often. Incidentally, the max tow capacity of the new Sorento 2.5T is 3,500 pounds, while the non-turbo 4-cylinder model is rated at 1,999 pounds. The Sorento Hybrid has a tow rating of 1,653 pounds. How Much Does the 2021 Kia Sorento cost? We expect the new Sorento to start at around $ 30,000 and climb from there closer to $ 50,000. Look for the new 2021 Kia Sorento at dealers before the end of the year. Driving the 2021 Kia Sorento KBB hasn’t driven the 2021 Kia Sorento yet. If it’s anything like the slightly larger Telluride, though, we’ll be pleased. The Telluride, for the record, is eight inches longer than the new Sorento, and it has a 3.4-inch-longer wheelbase, so it's not that different in overall size. Favorite Features BLIND VIEW MONITOR Standard on the Sorento Prestige models, the Blind View Monitor makes lane changes much safer. When the Sorento's turn signal is activated, a crystal-clear view of the adjacent lanes is displayed on the instrument panel, helping drivers see motorcyclists or any vehicle that has moved into this Kia's rear three-quarter blind spot. SECOND-ROW CAPTAIN’S CHAIRS If you plan to use the new Sorento as more of a luxury can than a family hauler, we’d get the 2nd-row captain's chairs. They’re standard on all the turbocharged models, and they make riding in the back more like a business-class airliner experience. 2021 Kia Sorento Interior To complement the strong new Sorento exterior, Kia designers kept the theme of “Refined Boldness” in mind while crafting the all-new interior of this compact midsize 3-row crossover SUV. To help that effort, they gave the 6- or 7-seat Sorento cabin distinctive touches such as bright satin finishes, open-pore wood inlays, vertical air vents, and even embossed diamond-quilted leather in the upmarket Prestige models. Behind the 3rd-row seat is this 12.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which increases to 38.4 cubic feet when that 50/50-split third row is folded. For comparison, the Ford Explorer has 21.0 cubic feet of cargo room behind its third row, as does the Kia Telluride. For anyone counting, the base LX has six USB ports, while all other 2021 Kia Sorentos have eight. 2021 Kia Sorento Exterior We like the look of the new 2021 Kia Sorento. It’s more SUV, less crossover. There’s a modernized version of the company’s “tiger nose,” and the daytime running lights are lines around the standard LED headlights. Other neat details: The hood edge wraps around the bodysides and blends with the shoulder line, making the Sorento look longer and wider than it actually is. What’s more, a strong side character line adds some muscular athleticism, aided by a distinctive wave shape at the base of the Sorento's C pillars. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 20 inches. 2021 Kia Sorento Standard Features Standard features on the front-wheel-drive base 2021 Kia Sorento LX include the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch alloy wheels, and selectable drive modes (Comfort, Sport, Eco, Smart) . The base Sorento also has LED headlights and taillights, plus cloth seat trim, a 60/40 split bench for three in the center row, privacy glass, a 6-speaker audio system, and an 8-inch touchscreen radio with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The standard Sorento safety suite is generous. It includes Rear Occupant Alert, which won’t let you forget a child or a pet in the back after you’ve locked the vehicle. It also has a forward-collision warning system and automatic emergency braking. Moreover, the 2021 Kia Sorento has a driver-attention monitor that will show (and sound) a warning if it senses the driver may be asleep. Other standard safety hardware includes a lane-departure warning system and Lane Following Assist, which makes small steering adjustments to keep the Sorento in the middle of its lane. If you want smart cruise control (which we suspect will work well, based on our experience in KBB's long-term Kia Telluride), it's standard on these models: EX 2.5T, SX 2.5T, SX Prestige 2.5T, SX Prestige X- Line 2.5T, and the EX 1.6T Hybrid. 2021 Kia Sorento Options There aren’t many options available on the 2021 Sorento, Kia apparently letting the various trim levels satisfy varied customer desires. That stated, the most notable option on the Sorento LX base model is AWD, which includes an extra Snow setting for the driver-selectable drive modes. On the turbocharged EX 2.5T model, you can get a panoramic roof with a retractable power sunshade, while a cargo cover, rather oddly, is considered a dealer-installed accessory on all 2021 Kia Sorentos. 2021 Kia Sorento Engine The 2021 Kia Sorento is available with four powertrains, all featuring 4-cylinder engines. The base Sorento LX, in FWD or AWD form, has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower and 182 lb-ft torque. Its transmission is a conventional 8-speed automatic with a torque converter, and the EPA combined fuel economy is 27 mpg, a 2-mpg improvement over the previous base Sorento. The new Sorento's AWD system has a locking center differential that provides extra power to rear wheels in slippery conditions. Next up, a turbocharged version of the direct-injected 2.5-liter4-cylinder that puts out 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Available in the Sorento 2.5T models with FWD or AWD, this engine sends power to the wheels via an 8-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission. The maximum towing capacity with the turbo four is 3,500 pounds. EPA combined fuel economy is 25 mpg, 3 mpg better than the previous V6 Sorento. The new Kia Sorento 1.6T Hybrid is equipped with a direct-injected 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine (with 180 horsepower) and a 44-kW electric motor. It has a combined 227 horsepower, and the electric motor is powered by a 1-kWh battery. This Sorento, available only with FWD and equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, gets a laudable EPA-estimated fuel economy of 39 mpg city / 35 mpg highway / 37 mpg combined. If you want even better efficiency, opt for the new Sorento PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle). This AWD model comes out in 2021, powered by the same direct-injected 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine as the Sorento 1.6T Hybrid. But it's supplemented by a more powerful 66.9-kW electric motor and a larger 13.8-kWh battery. While we don’t have EPA fuel economy figures for this new Sorento PHEV yet, we do know it has a 6-speed automatic transmission, a combined output of 261 horsepower, and an estimated all-electric range of 30 miles.

A Russian immunologist reveals 3 causes of repeated infection with "Covid-19" Scientists have been recording many times repeated cases of "Covid-19". The immunologist and the general manager of the Scientific Research and Business Deals company, Dr. Nikolai Kryuchkov, on the introductions and dangers of repeated infections with "Covid-19". The expert said, “Repeated infections with the coronavirus during the 6 months that have passed after the first infection with it do not occur only rarely. It is likely that the frequency of infections will increase after more than a year, it will become clear and lead to some conclusions in this regard. While the expert pointed to the precursors of infection with the Coronavirus again: Among them is the mutation of the virus when it is transmitted from one person to another, the high amount of viruses affecting humans in this or that region, and the discovery of the peculiarities of the immune system that characterizes the person. The expert recalled that subsequent infections with "Covid-19" would be more dangerous, difficult, and more affecting the human body on the one hand. He said that doctors noticed a mysterious feature that the coronavirus possesses when it infects the patient’s lungs, which is that bacteria do not participate in the infection process, knowing that antibiotics primarily target bacteria, not the Corona virus. However, it is bacteria itself as a general rule for complications caused by infection with the influenza virus.

It’s all too easy to stay at your desk. But stepping away to exercise, clear out your junk drawer, watch the Sopranos - or have sex - could completely re-energise your day If you are lucky enough to have a job, and have been working from home for the past six months, you may have forgotten that you still have a lunch break: time that belongs to you, to do with what you will. Stepping away from your desk or workspace to do something different is an important part of claiming that time. But what should you do? Here are 15 suggestions to help re-energise your days. Phone a friend - or make a new one Being separated from colleagues has stripped us of a lot of routine human interaction. Your lunch hour is often a convenient time to reconnect with old friends, says Clare Evans, a time management coach. “Often, we’re too busy to make the time in the evening, but a quick catch-up can get you back in touch and talking,” she says. Otherwise, you could challenge yourself to speak to a stranger while you are in a shop or a cafe. “Just have a chat as you grab your lunch, even if it's the classic British opening gambit of discussing the weather,” says Evans. Visit your favorite tree Don’t pretend you don’t have one. The key is to go outside, away from your computer screen, and if you combine it with exercise, so much the better. Susan Saunders, the author of The Age-Well Plan, says: “Seeing a tree combines so many of the habits that contribute to longevity: being outdoors in daylight, vital to keep our circadian clocks ticking accurately; exercise from walking; a chance to savor the moment. And even one lonely tree provides us with a little green space. " Move - if only for a few minutes You already know you should exercise, but it is especially important now that a lot of incidental activity has been stripped from our daily routines. Your lunch break is a chance to make it a daily practice: even minutes will make a difference over time, and it does not have to be a chore. Rachel Conlisk, an instructor with the Birmingham-based organization Creative Active Lives, says a lunchtime spent Hula-hooping to music is the highlight of her day. “It’s brilliant exercise and always cheers me up and de-stresses me. I'm sure it's the only thing keeping me sane. ” Tackle the junk drawer Natalie Ward, the founder of a maternity sportswear brand, says she was inspired by the Netflix reality show Get Organized With The Home Edit to begin sorting out her house in her lunch breaks. “I started with the kitchen and am working my way around the house: cupboards, drawers, wardrobes. It’s so therapeutic. ” You might even be able to fit in a run to the charity shop. Have sex One of sex therapists’ top tips for how to have more sex is to structure it into your day: working from home extends the window of opportunity. It need not take up your whole break: a study in 2004 of 152 couples recorded an average duration of 12 minutes of foreplay and seven minutes of intercourse. Saunders says that having sex releases the hormone oxytocin, which lowers inflammation. This, she says, “will give you a whole new perspective on your afternoon”. Watch that prestige TV series Evans says a half-hour episode of TV is the ideal length of time for a restorative break from work. “Just don’t get tempted to binge watch,” she says. By pacing yourself with a series, allowing anticipation to build for the next day’s instalment, you might enjoy it more. At a rate of one episode every weekday, you would finish The Sopranos in about four months. (For a break from screens, you could instead read a book. At five hours a week, you would finish War and Peace in two months.) Do some good Saunders suggests spending your lunchtime writing to an MP about a cause you care about (not least for the wellbeing boost that philanthropy will give you). The Anti-Racism Daily email newsletter, written by Nicole Cardoza, details a daily step you can take to tackle racism and white supremacy. GuideToAllyship.com is a similarly practical resource, by Amélie Lamont, a product designer. Alternatively, you could spend your break on Zoom, mentoring young people who want to get into your industry, or volunteering (remotely or in your local area) via Do-It.org or NCVO.org.uk.

Lexus has expanded its LC 500 model line with the 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible. As Lexus’halo model, the LC 500 coupe already serves as the brand's style, luxury and technology showcase. For the 2021 model year the LC 500 Convertible will add an open-air option with new features specifically designed to enhance top-down driving. Arriving in showrooms in the summer of 2020, the new LC 500 Convertible will retain the coupe's 5.0-liter V8 engine, offering 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. Power travels to the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission, while driving dynamics are enhanced with retuned suspension settings and convertible-specific chassis bracing to ensure uncompromised structural rigidity. Top tucks away in 15 Seconds The Lexus LC 500 Convertible features a 4-layer soft top that retracts in 15 seconds and deploys in 16 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph. A hard tonneau cover is part of the folding mechanism, providing an uncluttered look when the LC 500's top is stowed. Subtle exterior changes for the convertible include a "kicked up" trunk line and wider rear spoiler with integrated third brake light. The soft top is offered in two colors, black or beige, while the LC 500 Convertible's exterior colors include Ultra White, Smoky Granite, Liquid Platinum, Atomic Silver, Obsidian, Caviar, Infrared, Cadmium Orange, Flare Yellow and Nightfall Mica. Interior color choices range from Black to Circuit Red to Toasted Caramel. There’s also a special launch edition of the 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible, dubbed the “Inspiration Series” and limited to 100 units. This model features Structural Blue exterior paint, a blue soft top, and a white semi-aniline interior, plus chrome / black 21-inch wheels. Convertible-Friendly Features Lexus is touting the LC 500 Convertible's all-weather, top-down functionality through the use of climate control technology like neck heaters, seat heaters and cabin ventilation that can focus on the passengers’ upper body to counteract cold temperatures when the top is down. There are even dedicated vents to blow cold or warm air on the back of the driver’s hands. Reduced cabin noise and air buffeting was another engineering goal, with the LC 500 offering a transparent wind deflector and a deployable wind screen. Active Noise Control technology, leveraging sound insulation and specific absorption materials, are designed to quell wind and road noise. Conversely, the 5.0-liter V8's engine note is emphasized when the top is stowed through a sound tube and tuned exhaust system delivering the engine's rumble to the cabin (without the use of electronic amplification). Top-down technology The LC 500 Convertible's 10.3-inch display screen will feature Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It can connect with Amazon’s Alexa, allowing drivers to control smart home devices, listen to audiobooks, stream music, make lists and check weather. Drivers can also leverage Lexus Enform Remote and Destination services, including remote door locking / unlocking, remote engine starting and a personal concierge offering directions and destination planning. Lexus Safety System + (LSS +) technology comes standard on the LC 500 Convertible. This package includes pre-collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, smart cruise control and automatic high beams. The convertible also comes with active roll bars that deploy if a rollover is detected. What will the 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible cost? Pricing for the 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible will start at around $ 100,000 when it goes on sale in the summer of 2020.

A scandal .. "Instagram" is spying on users through their phone cameras without using the application The US Court of San Francisco is looking into a case against the application "Instagram" and the company that owns "Facebook" for spying on the application's users through the unauthorized use of their phone cameras. US reports stated that the lawsuit indicates that the application reaches mobile phone cameras for users of the "Instagram" application, even when users are not browsing the application, to collect private data in an unauthorized way to be used later in advertisements to achieve valuable profits, while the company denied the charge, noting Indicates that an error occurred and will be corrected. Reports of these cases surfaced in July. "Facebook" said that a bug in the experimental operating system for IOS14 was responsible for operating the camera for some users while they were not actually using it, and that it is working to fix it. According to Bloomberg, an Instagram user, Britney Conditi, has filed a lawsuit against the social media giant in federal court in San Francisco. Conditi claims that the "Instagram" application was accessing the cameras on purpose "to collect profitable and valuable data on users that would not be able to access it otherwise." The lawsuit says: "By obtaining highly private and intimate personal data about its users, including the privacy of their homes, Facebook can increase its advertising revenue by targeting users more than ever before." She also said that "Facebook" "is able to see, in real time, how users are responding to ads on" Instagram ", which provides very valuable information to advertisers.

As pandemic restrictions are tightened, and the weather turns, Norway’s ‘free-air life’ is more relevant - and appealing - than ever First things first, let’s tackle the pronunciation. “It’s free-luftz-leev,” says Lasse Heimdal, repeating the word four times on the phone from a relatively balmy Oslo (14C, sunny) until I get it right. Heimdal is the general secretary of the Norwegian Association for Outdoor Organizations, otherwise known as Norsk Friluftsliv. It is a large, voluntary organization that promotes friluftsliv - or “free-air life” - in the country and, it seems, beyond. While I find it difficult to pronounce, friluftsliv is easy to define and in turn assimilate - assuming you have an all-weather jacket, some decent socks and perhaps a car. “For Norwegians, friluftsliv is less about what you do and more about where you are,” he says, pointing - I imagine - to the crystal-clear fjords and pines of his hometown's outskirts. “For me, it is about disconnecting from daily stress, being part of the cultural‘ we ’and existing in what I call nature - an‘ escape room ’” as if the woods were an extension of his own home. Heimdal partakes in friluftsliv up to three times a week. Instructive rather than conceptual, typical friluftsliv activities include relaxing, fishing, hiking, sleeping in “camping hammocks” (not tents) and picking cloudberries. Its symbol is the campfire and its mantra is “man’s right to roam”. In many ways, I say, friluftsliv sounds a lot like Love Island. Heimdal is not familiar with Love Island. Looking out the window of my flat as a couple fight on the street about childcare, I can see why the idea of “open-air living” drums up almost a million hashtags on Instagram, warranted a profile in National Geographic magazine and appears, according to Heimdal, on two out of every three online dating profiles in Norway. Given the change in weather, I can also see why it is set to overhaul hygge as our Scandinavian word du jour given how much time we’ve spent indoors since March. Unsurprisingly, friluftsliv has been the runaway hit of what Heimdal refers to as “corona season”; he says one in three Norwegians increased their outdoor time since March - quite a feat given that the average Norwegian visits the great outdoors at least three times a week. Such was the demand for outdoor kit that, after many Norwegian shops shut in March, the government had to recall furloughed staff at camping and sports retailers and even hire extra workers. While early lockdown measures succeeded in keeping Norway's number of coronavirus cases relatively low, there has been a recent increase in cases. Fortunately, it is easy to maintain social distancing while camping. As yet, says Heimdal, there have been no recorded cases of the virus being transmitted during a friluftsliv-based excursion. “We try not to think too much about this corona stuff,” he says of his fellow friluftsliv-lovers. The pull of friluftsliv has been at the heart of Norwegian culture for decades. Henrik Ibsen’s poem On the Heights, thought to contain the first mention of the term, follows the dilemma of a young farmer torn between life on the farm and something more, well, friluftsliv. The 2019 Norwegian TV thriller Twin features two brothers, one of whom is more friluftsliv than the other - with devastating effect. We have been here before, of course. Look behind a cultural fad these days and you will likely find a Scandinavian, selling candles (hygge) or harping on about work-life balance (lagom). As Dr Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen, a Danish lecturer at University College London, told me during peak-hygge in 2017, Norwegians love metonymy, or substituting a word for a concept. “In Britain, it is harder to agree on one word to cover particular sensibilities across social, geographic and cultural differences.” He also told me that Scandinavians have a knack for "self-mythologising" which may explain their reach. Still while hygge and lagom remain nebulous as terms yet marketable as products, friluftsliv is almost too broad to commodify. It is precisely the tension between city and nature that makes the concept of friluftsliv all the more relevant; as we head into a second lockdown just six months after the first one was imposed, the pull of the outdoors has never been stronger. It is particularly desirable given that the concept is wholly experiential, and free; the economy experience, beloved by millennials, plummeted into recession when we stopped going out in March. I ask Tom Rønning, an Oslo resident who works in IT, if one can be friluftsliv. No, he says, but you can be a friluftsliv sort of person. It is about the safety of nature, the end of doomscrolling and the invaluable lesson of brutal Scandinavian winters (there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothes). As for the clothes, “gorpcore” - that confection of style, Patagonia and chunky hiking socks - probably needed a new outlet. This one is more sustainable: in Norway, Heimdal tells me, they have government-sponsored “libraries” for borrowing hiking gear. It is easy to view friluftsliv as an activity of the prosperous and bourgeois, particularly if you are sitting in a garden-less flat miles from any green space. Also, a cabin is simply a second home - and we know how we feel about those (the Norwegian government banned the use of them during the more serious parts of lockdown). Then there is the knottier business of Norway being a country that shouts loudly about environmentalism while also making a lot of money from oil. Heimdal, however, is more interested in friluftsliv’s role in Norway’s mental health. “It is [warm] now but in a few weeks, it will be below zero. We have very challenging weather, so we have a lifestyle that suits that and this is part of it. But you have to remember that depression is a problem here, ”he says of the country’s famously dark winters. "This is why in school we teach our kids how to dress for the cold, so we can start looking at the problem early." It is a reason why Heimdal thinks we should move our offices outside. Still, friluftsliv is not for everyone. Rønning lives 100 meters from the woods and often sees deer and moose outside his house, yet he “can probably count on one hand how many times I have been in a cabin in my adult life”.

Hyundai chose St. Patrick's Day for the world premiere of its all-new 2021 Elantra, a compact seventh-generation 4-door sedan that competes with the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Mazda 3 and Nissan Sentra. At the West Hollywood event streamed live without an audience because of coronavirus concerns, Brian Smith, COO of Hyundai Motor America, said: “While some manufacturers no longer see the value in the car side of the business, we're doubling down by offering an all-new model with both gas and hybrid powertrains. We’ve sold more than 3.4 million Elantras here in the U.S.A. and more than 13.8 million worldwide, and the new, captivating look is going to bring excitement to a whole new generation of buyers. Then once inside, they’re going to love all of the progressive features. ” Dramatic styling Hyundai uses the words “Parametric dynamics” to describe the looks of the new 2021 Elantra. While we’re not sure what that means, the new Elantra looks closely related to the new Sonata. Luc Donckerwolke, Hyundai Motor Group's Chief Design Officer, explains: “Like the first generation, the seventh-generation Elantra has a bold character. The fresh aesthetic comes through the unconventional lines and a face that broke a taboo in automotive design. The new Elantra sports a wide stance that features geometric crystal and divided body surfaces for a strong emotional response from the customers. Donckerwolke adds, “Having three lines meet at one point is a main ingredient in making the colorful parametric dynamics of Elantra. Using this design element was a daring challenge, which has been avoided in car design, marking Elantra's 'disrupter-spirit.' Front design highlights include a jewel-patterned cascading grille with integrated headlamps and turn signals, while the side of the new Elantra features some triangular sculpting and a bold edge running from front to rear. In back, a wide horizontal line extends the width of the trunk, and showcases H-shaped taillights and a wing-type lower bumper. In back, the rear glass features a black deck that accentuates the new Elantra's coupe-like look. New Elantra is lower, wider To achieve the look of a 4-door coupe, Hyundai said it needed to make the new Elantra a bit longer, lower and wider than the outgoing model. Specifically, the 2021 Elantra is 2.2 inches longer and one inch wider than before, with a wheelbase extended by 0.8 inches. The overall height drops 0.8 inches, and the cowl, the area where the windshield meets the hood, moves back almost two inches. Although these changes dramatically affect the appearance of the Elantra, most key dimensions have, in fact, increased. The new Elantra has 0.3 inches more front headroom than before, while rear headroom has stayed the same. Most significantly, rear legroom has increased by 2.3 inches, and the added width of the vehicle translates to fractionally better shoulder room front and rear. The trunk, at 14.2 cubic feet, is 0.2 cu. ft. than before, but it's still 8-percent larger than the Toyota Corolla. What engine powers the 2021 Hyundai Elantra? The 2021 Hyundai Elantra uses a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that emphasizes fuel economy. This powerplant benefits from the Atkinson Cycle and produces 147 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 132 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. EPA fuel economy is not available. Hyundai expects the Elantra to outperform the old model and be best in class on mpg. The Intelligent Variable Transmission, Hyundai's name for a continuously variable transmission (CVT) helps fuel economy. This transmission, which has simulated gearshifts like those of a conventional automatic gearbox, employs a wide-ratio pulley system. This setup provides a wide ratio than the Elantra's rivals. This means better fuel economy at higher ratios and peppier acceleration. Its chain-belt design is said to be 1.2 percent more efficient than a standard CVT belt. Inside the new 2021 Elantra The 2021 Elantra interior, with low and wide structures extending from the doors to the center console, envelops the driver like an airplane cockpit while remaining quite roomy. Other notable characteristics include a lower seating position, slim dash vents and low door handles. The high center console and two 10.25-inch digital displays connect under one piece of glass, enhancing the car's futuristic look. Also noteworthy: The new Elantra has a unique cornering grab handle for the front passenger and 64 shades of available ambient lighting. Sporty (and safe) platform Using Hyundai’s K3 third-generation compact vehicle platform, the 2021 Elantra weighs less and is stronger than the previous model. This helps with fuel economy. A low center of gravity contributes to improved handling. The Elantra suspension, which features a multilink rear, is tuned to be taut yet comfortable, with minimal body roll and excellent impact absorption. Also, the mounting points for the suspension are stronger. The engine bay is designed to accept either a conventional or hybrid powertrain. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid An Elantra Hybrid model joins the Hyundai lineup for 2021, to compete with the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid features a direct-injected 1.6-liter Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder that teams with a 32-kilowatt electric motor. That motor draws from a 1.32-kWh lithium-ion-polymer battery mounted beneath the rear seat. Total system output, with the gas engine and electric motor combined, is 139 horsepower and up to 195 lb-ft of torque. These numbers suggest the hybrid version likely will be the quickest and most efficient Elantra you can buy. The Elantra Hybrid's engine connects to Hyundai's 6-speed automatic transmission, This quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox should offer a more engaging experience than the CVT found in the Corolla Hybrid. While Hyundai says the new Elantra Hybrid has an electric-only driving mode that delivers instantaneous torque at low speeds, the motor applies additional assist at higher speeds. Hyundai projects EPA Combined fuel economy of more than 50 mpg. This means the hybrid Elantra may deliver numbers close to the Corolla Hybrid's 52 mpg. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line If you want more performance out a compact sedan, there is a new option from Hyundai. Joining the Elantra lineup for the first time is the 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line. This sedan is powered by a 201-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, backed by your choice of a 6-speed manual or 7-speed double-clutch automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The N Line also comes with a drive mode selector system. The Elantra N Line's suspension is stiffer, improving handling, and the N Line rides on 18-inch alloy wheels. This version of the Elantra comes with larger brake rotors. There are some styling differences, as the Elantra N Line uses a unique grille, side skirts, and black wheel wells. It also has functional air curtains in the lower fascia. In back, there’s an integrated spoiler and a dual exhaust with chrome tips. Inside, N Line drivers will find a leather-wrapped, perforated steering wheel with metal spokes - unique to the N Line - plus sport seats, alloy pedals, and other N-specific cues. The Hyundai Elantra N Line is set to go on sale in December 2020. Standard SmartSense safety features The new Elantra loads up with standard safety features, most grouped under the company’s SmartSense suite of assists. Besides automatic emergency braking (with pedestrian detection) and lane-keeping assist, the new Elantra is equipped with automatic lane centering. It also has high-beam assist for oncoming traffic. Blind-spot warning, together with rear cross-traffic assist, is available only as an option. Other safety options of note include adaptive cruise control and Safe Exit Warning. This system sounds an alert if a vehicle is approaching the Elantra from behind when passengers would normally be exiting the car. Interior features Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (no cables needed!) Are standard equipment together with HD radio and an 8-inch color audio display. Bluetooth and steering wheel audio controls also are standard fare, along with a drive mode selector. Optional interior features include the 10.25-inch digital screens for the instruments and infotainment system, plus the BlueLink Connected Car System with three years of complimentary service. Wireless smartphone charging also is available. An optional 8-speaker premium sound system from Bose features a woofer on the rear deck. Class of 2021: The New and Redesigned Cars, Trucks and SUVs Additionally, the 2021 Hyundai Elantra can be ordered with a voice-recognition system that’s much better at understanding commands (i.e. “Find a Starbucks.”) And responding quickly. The Android smartphone-based Hyundai Digital Key is also available. The feature allows the Elantra to be unlocked, started and driven without a physical key. How much does the 2021 Hyundai Elantra cost? The new 2021 Hyundai Elantra goes on sale late in 2020, so it’s too early to have exact pricing. The current Hyundai Elantra starts at $ 19,150, with a delivery charge of $ 955. The top Elantra model is the Sport trim, which retails for $ 24,000 plus delivery. With compact sedans being such a competitive and price-sensitive segment, we expect the 2021 Elantra to be priced a bit higher, but not by much. Where is the 2021 Hyundai Elantra built? The 2021 Hyundai Elantra will be built in two places: Ulsan, South Korea, and Montgomery, Alabama. Production begins this fall.

The US judiciary announced that a New York police officer from Tibet was charged with spying for Beijing for collecting information for the Chinese government about the Tibetan community in New York. According to the indictment, the 33-year-old officer was serving in a police commission in Northeast Queens and was employed by members of the Chinese Consulate in New York. According to the accusation, between 2018 and 2020, this officer collected information related to the activities of his Tibetan community and also provided his operators with potential intelligence sources. The list indicated that the accused is also a reserve officer in the US Army and that he has allowed members of the Chinese Consulate to attend events organized by the New York Police. The officer received tens of thousands of dollars from his Chinese employers for his services, according to the same source. The Public Prosecution charged the officer with four counts, including working for a foreign country on American soil, submitting false reports, and obstructing the functioning of a public facility. A spokesperson for the Brooklyn federal attorney general told AFP that the defendant appeared before a judge on Monday, ordering him to be remanded in custody. For his part, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department said that the accused was temporarily suspended from service and cut off his salary. According to the indictment, the officer was born in China and obtained political asylum in the United States, claiming that he was tortured by the Chinese authorities because of his Tibetan origins, but the investigation showed that both of his parents were members of the Chinese Communist Party. Commenting on the indictment, the International Campaign for Tibet, an organization that defends the rights of the region’s residents, said that “if the courts prove the validity” of these accusations, the case will show that the Chinese Communist Party is engaged in malicious operations to suppress any opposition, not only in Tibet, but throughout the world.

The critic and author tells Amil Niazi why so many young people are burning out - and what we can do to fix it When I reach writer Anne Helen Petersen on the phone, she’s remarking on the smoky air outside her home in Montana, a symptom of the wildfires burning in Washington, Oregon and California that have enveloped large swaths of the country in a thick gray haze. I’m apologizing for the screaming infant and toddler in the background of my own home, a byproduct of the global pandemic that has forced parents to precariously manage an already tottering seesaw of childcare and work. It's a fitting landscape to discuss Petersen's new book, Can’t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation. While the issues that have contributed to the millennial condition of overwork and stress have been building for some time, 2020 saw them boil over in an unprecedented way. In many ways, it laid bare the failures of what we’ve come to call the American dream. “We are a nation in decline… Millennials are the first generation that is predicted to actually go backwards in terms of life expectancy,” Petersen, who is 39, says. "And that should be a pretty profound realization." Thoughts most of her book was written before Covid brought the world to a standstill, Petersen managed to include a foreword in the book to address how the pandemic has exacerbated an already tenuous situation. “It was ready to go to the printer. And in mid-February I thought, I definitely need to acknowledge this, ”she tells me. “In addition to work becoming this fraught spot of just general anxiety, I've talked to people who are like, 'Oh, I thought I would have so much more time, because I wasn't commuting any more.' And then they 've just filled that time with replying to emails at 7.30 in the morning, you know, and don't have any of that interstitial space that was once available to them. There’s no decompression time. ” While that erasure of personal time has been highlighted by the pandemic and ensuing lockdown, the notion of work-life balance has been eroding for some time, and helped inform Petersen's 2019 BuzzFeed article about millennial burnout, which formed the basis for her book. That piece broke the dam and started a conversation around the mental exhaustion experienced by so many in Petersen's generation. I first read her essay, fittingly, as I was beginning my day at work, desperately nursing a lukewarm coffee, patiently waiting for its stimulating effects to wake up my sluggish brain. My 14-month-old son was on his third daycare cold, and I had been up all night because he had been up all night. Ironically enough, it was my boss who had sent me the article, its headline all but screaming at me as I clicked on it. How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation became an instant online sensation, passed around between overworked friends and shared widely on social media, often accompanied by a crying emoji or a gif enthusiastically clapping in agreement. The piece put words to our collective exhaustion and roiling anxiety. As Petersen outlined her own inability to accomplish small tasks, drawing a link between the piled up laundry and unmailed letters and the crushing strain of our imbalanced working lives, her “errand paralysis” rang true for the rest of us. The new book parses the economic, cultural and institutional makeup of the generation born between 1981 and 1996. It tackles rising student debt, the gig-ification of the modern workplace, and the increasingly blurred lines of work and home life. And while some of it is well-trodden territory, like the chapter - “What is a Weekend” revisits the idea of leisure, a subject already articulated with more verve in Jenny Odell's How to Do Nothing - Petersen manages to give new insights on the cumulative effect of these factors. The book touches on how we don’t experience these inequalities equally - especially in times of global crisis. Racialized communities are being particularly affected, not just by the virus itself but by the economic fallout. Mothers have been affected by school and daycare closures, threatening a mass disappearance of women from the workplace if second or third waves force another lockdown. And though Petersen's book focuses on an overwhelmingly white, suburban and middle-class millennial, she understands the inherent privileges at play. Where Petersen really shines is when she gets personal and writes about her decision to not have children. Wrangling with ambition, climate change and fears over her own personhood, she manages to contextualize the millennial condition of burnout and illustrate the painful choices - or lack of choice - it can render in our real lives. Rather than spell out the how, this finally interrogates the "what now?" And that is the question many of us will be asking ourselves as we look ahead towards November. “Regime change in November is not necessarily going to fix everything. It might fix a couple of small things, but it's not going to fix everything, ”she stresses. While larger change may still be far off, I ask Petersen if, on a personal level, she was able to get a handle on her own burnout through the process of writing the book. “I think that I am better at recognizing my own burnout behaviors,” she tells me. “So how can I set myself up to do the things that give me joy? And whether that is reading fiction, or like just doodling around in my garden, and watching the plants grow? Those are some things that have been really restorative for me. But no, my burnout is not solved. ” Still, even if she can’t offer up a solution, in speaking with other young people about what drives their fears and compounds their worries, Petersen is able to build a compelling archive of the millennial condition. As one young woman in the book puts it, “the darkness in the world can’t win so long as you don’t stop running.” For a brief moment this year it looked like the pandemic would be a breaking point, a chance to stop running for a minute. But by now much of the world is operating with varying degrees of normalcy, with schools and businesses tentatively reopening. I ask Petersen what she thinks about our ability to adapt to these new normals. “We can’t do this forever,” she exclaims. "I think that we’re gonna have to decide as a society and as a generation to figure this shit out."

People Also Ask Where is the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S built? The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is built in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, using hand-assembled engines shipped over the Atlantic from the AMG factory in Affalterbach, Germany. What is the top speed of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S? Mercedes says the GLE 63 S has an electronically limited top speed of 174 mph. Is the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S a hybrid? In a sense the GLE 63 S is a hybrid, because the electric motor / generator between engine and transmission produces 21 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. But it’s not really used to propel the car. In addition to powering the 48-volt electrical system, the motor / generator adds power at takeoff for easier starts while also adding power during upshifts to make them smoother. Interestingly, the electric motor - which is responsible for the smoothest and quickest automatic restarts we’ve ever felt - also helps control the idle speed of the gasoline engine. What are the GLE 63’s seven drive modes? The GLE 63’s seven drive modes are Comfort, Sport, Sport +, Individual, Race, Trail and Sand. The settings range from maximum comfort to peak agility, with Trail and Sand tailored to keep the GLE 63 S safely moving in those specific conditions. What is AMG Active Ride Control? The AMG-specific Active Ride Control uses electromechanical actuators in the front and rear anti-roll bars to effectively minimize body roll while the GLE 63 is cornering. The quick-acting actuators, which can soften or stiffen the anti-roll bars, also aid ride comfort by compensating for one-sided bumps. KBB Editors’ Overview AMG is at it again, this time updating the 2021 GLE 63 S SUV with a powerful new engine, superb adaptive air suspension and enormous brakes that will seemingly never fade. Under the hood is the real star, a hand-built twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 supplemented by an integrated starter / generator that aids acceleration while also smoothing gearshifts and providing the smoothest automatic restarts we’ve ever felt. The monster 603-horsepower engine also benefits from an electric auxiliary compressor that eliminates turbo lag. All that power reaches the GLE 63's wheels via a paddle-shifted 9-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, and the full-time 4Matic all-wheel-drive system can send as much as 50 percent of the power to the front wheels if needed. What’s more, the solid chassis benefits from active anti-roll bars that effectively eliminate body roll, and the massive 21-inch wheels cover huge front brake rotors clamped by massive 6-piston calipers that look like they could stop a train. At the same time, this incredibly potent Mercedes SUV coddles as you'd expect, with rich Nappa leather and firmly bolstered seats mounted in a high-quality 5-seat interior with a digital color dash, multiple shades of ambient interior lighting and all the latest infotainment and safety technologies. It’s hard to find fault with the big and expensive GLE, whose active air suspension can be pillow-soft or sporty-firm, dependent on what the driver wants. Indeed, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is a special vehicle. It’s priced that way, too. And when we drive one, we marvel at how a vehicle so big and heavy manages to be so fast, sporty and practical. You won’t see many of these almighty Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 SUVs on the road, which explains part of its attraction. Driving the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S With 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S rockets to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and hits an electronically limited top speed of 174 mph. Is this a big 5-seat SUV that weighs well over 4,000 pounds, or some exotic sports car? In a way, it's both. With is tremendous power, beautifully tuned suspension and massive brakes, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is totally at home on twisty mountain roads. But at the same time, when driven with a gentle right foot, this Mercedes is very much a refined 5-seat SUV with all the impressive family credentials of a GLE 350. Although you can hear the engine's roar, it's just enough to let you know something special is under the hood. You’ll also feel noticeable tuning differences (transmission, steering, suspension, throttle) among the various available drive modes. “Big” is the operative word here. You’ll find the GLE 63 S to be big on power, big on grip, big on brakes, big on comfort, big on luxury, big on refinement and big on modern safety and infotainment technologies. That’s why we like it. Favorite Features AMG V8 WITH EQ BOOST This potent V8 engine, with twin turbochargers nestled in its vee, puts out 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque in a smooth, almost hydraulic fashion. It’s aided by an electric starter / generator between the engine and transmission that puts out 21 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque to assist takeoffs, smoothen gearshifts and create the silkiest automatic restarts we’ve ever felt. This engine also boasts an auxiliary electric blower, a supercharger of sorts, that eliminates turbo lag. AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL This GLE 63 S’s suspension is superb. In addition to active damping with Comfort, Sport and Sport + modes, it has pneumatic load leveling and quick-acting anti-roll bars that effectively eliminate body roll while the vehicle is cornering. In Trail and Sand modes, the vehicle is raised 2.16 inches for added ground clearance. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Interior The GLE 63 S has a sporty but elegant interior with excellent room front and rear. Rich Nappa leather covers the well-bolstered seats, which sport an AMG badge on their backrests. Adding to the luxurious ambience is standard ambient lighting, in 64 available hues. The GLE 63’s steering wheel is the latest 3-spoke unit from AMG, with a thick, leather-lined rim and buttons that allow for quick changes of the drive modes and cruise-control functions. Also prominent is the center console, an attractive leather-covered affair with two prominent grab handles and an AMG-specific control panel for various switches and controls. Pedals covered in brushed stainless steel enhance the sporty look, along with illuminated doorsills and black floormats sporting the AMG logo. All the interior materials are top-notch, and the designers have done a great job of creating an aesthetic that’s at once sporty and luxurious. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Exterior Can we all agree that the GLE 63 S is a handsome vehicle? We particularly like the AMG-specific radiator grille, with its prominent vertical louvers. We also like the strong creases in the hood, and how the front air dam is lined with silvery chrome trim. Along the side, you can see how the GLE 63's side skirts, sideview mirrors and flared wheel arches are all painted body color, so they blend into the muscular body. Note how the 21- and 22-inch wheels don’t look overly massive in the GLE 63’s bold wheel arches. In back, a new rear bumper has a diffuser with silver trim that emphasizes the width of this SUV, and the look is completed by twin rectangular exhaust outlets along with an AMG-specific roof spoiler. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Standard Features Besides the powerful hand-built engine with the integrated starter / generator and a 9-speed automatic transmission, the GLE 63 S is packed with standard features. Mechanically, this means active engine mounts, 4Matic all-wheel drive, a locking rear differential and pneumatic AMG suspension with active damping. Additionally, the 63 S has a huge instrument cluster / media display that looks not unlike an elongated iPad laid on its side. Moreover, this potent 2-row Mercedes SUV is equipped with a navigation system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, massaging front seats and a Burmester surround-sound stereo. There are 64 colors of interior ambient lighting, plus wireless smartphone charging and active LED headlights with adaptive high-beam assist. Automatic emergency braking and a blind-sport monitor add some standard safety. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Options Stand-alone options on the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S abound. Highlights include AMG carbon-fiber trim ($ 1,590), a carbon-fiber engine cover ($ 1,600), 22-inch AMG cross-spoke wheels ($ 1,250), a black Dinamica roof liner ($ 1,600), a panoramic sunroof ($ 1,000) and 4 -zone climate control ($ 760).

If you want lane-keep assist and several other active safety technologies, they’re available in the $ 1,700 Driver Assistance Package Plus. Other groupings include a Warmth and Comfort Package ($ 1,050) with heated door panels, armrests and center console, plus an Acoustic Comfort Package ($ 1,100) that includes extra cabin insulation and a special infrared-reflecting film on the windshield. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Engine Although the previous GLE 63 S had a larger twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8, the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 in the new 2021 GLE 63 S puts out more horsepower and torque: 603 (vs 577) and 627 (vs 561) . The aluminum-block engine has intelligent-cylinder management, which means that cylinders two, three, five and eight are shut down in low-load situations to save fuel. The transition from eight cylinders to four is unnoticeable, but a graphic on the dash illuminates when you’re in 4-cylinder mode. The engine also features an integral starter / generator plus a powerful electric auxiliary compressor that supplements the exhaust-driven turbochargers andinates eliminating turbo lag. Active engine mounts do their part as well - they’re soft for around-town comfort, but they get firmer for a sportier feel whenever the GLE 63 S is being driven hard. The one available transmission is a paddle-shift 9-speed automatic with a torque converter. 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 603 horsepower @ 5,750-6,500 rpm 627 lb-ft of torque @ 2,500-4,500 rpm EPA city / highway fuel economy (estimated): 15/19 mpg How Much Does the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Cost?

Coronavirus infection numbers have increased again in a number of countries, with the global number of cases approaching 31 million; While the number of deaths reached more than 961 thousand. And the Brazilian Ministry of Health said that it had recorded 3,3057 new confirmed cases of coronavirus, and 739 deaths over a twenty-four hour period. The ministry data showed that the total number of infections in the largest country in South America has exceeded 4.5 million cases since the outbreak of the epidemic; Which places it in the third place in the spread of the disease globally after the United States and India. Brazil ranks second in the world in the number of deaths after the United States, with more than 136,000 deaths, according to "Sky News Arabia". In Mexico, the Mexican Ministry of Health said that it had recorded 5,167 new confirmed cases of coronavirus, and 455 deaths; Noting that the total number in the country reached 694,121 injuries, 73,258 deaths. Hugo Lopez-Gatel, Deputy Minister of Health, said: The actual number of infections in the country is much higher than the declared number. The data of the Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Diseases in Germany showed, on Sunday, that the number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus increased by 1,345 cases. This raises the total recorded in the country since the outbreak of the epidemic to 271,415 injuries. The data also showed that the number of deaths rose to 9,386, after two new cases were recorded. On Sunday, the National Health Commission in China announced the registration of 10 new cases of Coronavirus. In a statement, the committee stated that all new cases were imported from abroad. Adding that she also monitored 21 new cases free of symptoms; And that compared to 24 cases the day before. China does not record asymptomatic cases of confirmed cases of the virus. The total number of Corona cases in China currently stands at 85,279; While the number of deaths remains constant at 4,634 cases.

As seasons meld, bright vegetables meet warm, earthy flavors Ican’t see a pile of peppers without thinking of them roasted, their silky, scarlet flesh surrounded by their own caramel-colored juices. It is a recipe I do without thinking - the long, thin peppers are left whole, snuggled in a roasting tin, their skin glossy with olive oil. They are roasted till they puff up, letting out a sigh as they collapse and their juice pools in the bottom of the tin. They make their own dressing, with a smoky sweetness from the peppers, a hint of bitterness from the charred skin. We eat them this way, with basil leaves, torn mozzarella and chewy bread for the juices. Occasionally I stuff them: fat pearls of mograbia, the giant couscous; slate-green lentils with balsamic and basil; cannellini beans with pecorino and rosemary. Minced lamb, too, if it has simmered slowly enough with onions, garlic, bay leaves and thyme (I like to add a little balsamic vinegar towards the end of cooking). This time I filled some romano peppers with crabmeat, the expensive shellfish made to go further with soft, white breadcrumbs. I used both white and the more interesting brick-red brown meat, devilled with mustard and pepper sauce, softened with a little cream. The recipe comes from a restaurant I worked at years ago, where we served the spiced crab hot from the oven in shallow white dishes, with soldiers of toast for dipping. Summer is sinking into autumn, but there are still plenty of taught, crisp climbing beans around. We used them this week in a dark and bosky ragu, the long, thin haricots in lieu of pasta. This was a fresh, crunchy take on “courgetti”. It is a recipe I shall repeat again soon, perhaps with a ragu of brown lentils. Peppers with crab and tarragon Long, thin romano peppers - the variety that look like Aladdin's slippers - work well here, but any ripe pepper will do. The trick is to make sure they are thoroughly soft, their edges blackened here and there, before serving. Serves 4 romano peppers 8 (or 4 large) sweet onions 2, medium olive oil 3 tbsp garlic 3 cloves grain mustard 1 tbsp Tabasco a few shakes crabmeat 350g, mix of brown and white soft, white breadcrumbs 100g Parsley leaves a large handful tarragon 7g double cream 75ml parmesan 4 tbsp, grated Place the peppers on their side on a chopping board. Take a thick slice from the top of each one to leave a deep hollow. Put the peppers snugly in a roasting tin or baking dish. Set the oven at 180C / gas mark 4. Cut the slices of pepper you have removed into fine dice. Peel the onions and chop them finely. Warm the olive oil in a shallow pan and add the onions and chopped peppers, fry and occasionally stir for 10 minutes, until the onion has softened but not colored. Peel and chop the garlic then stir into the onion and pepper mixture, and continue cooking for 5 minutes until the first signs of color appear on the onions. Transfer the softened onion and peppers to a large mixing bowl and stir in the mustard and Tabasco. Add the crabmeat and breadcrumbs. Finely chop the parsley leaves and the tarragon then stir them in with the cream and a little salt. Fill the peppers with the crab mixture, then scatter the grated parmesan over the top. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and silky and the filling is nicely golden.
