If you wear glasses, you've likely discovered that wearing a mask + glasses + breathing = fogged up lenses. That's not exactly ideal for navigating the grocery store or maintaining social distance while staying safe amid the COVID-19 crisis. Obviously foggy glasses aren't a big deal; essential employees are overwhelmed and lacking the PPE they need. But foggy glasses are a major inconvenience for as long as wearing a mask in public is required. If you're trying to avoid the fog, two doctors have offered an easy solution: Use plain old soap and water.First, give credit for this "hack" to doctors Sheraz Shafi Malik and Shahbaz Shafi Malik, who published the idea in the medical journal Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. This is their suggested technique: Immediately before wearing a face mask, wash the spectacles with soapy water and shake off the excess. Then, let the spectacles air dry or gently dry off the lenses with a soft tissue before putting them back on. Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn.I am no doctor, and I only started wearing a face mask eight weeks ago. But I have faith that doctors know what they were talking about, considering how much they wear masks. I put the suggested method to the test last weekend, as I had a few errands to run.For my trial, I used Mrs. Meyer's liquid dish soap. I messed it up the first time by wiping the soap off too hard with a towel, rather than letting it air dry. Even with wiping, the method worked pretty well. My glasses only got a tad bit foggy when I was lifting all my groceries from the cart to the car. When I tried it again, the correct way, I was blessedly fog-free while wearing my glasses and my mask. My local grocery store offers free disposable surgical masks, so I've used this method with those, but also with cloth masks my mom made for my family.Additional tips outside of the soap and water solution:Wear your mask securely against your faceMake sure your mask is high up above your noseYou can use a strip of paper towel on the bridge of your nose to help absorb some of the excess moisture from your breathIf you're interested in buying locally made masks, you can order masks from San Francisco, Seattle, and Texas. Disney also is selling face masks with favorite characters, like Baby Yoda and Mickey Mouse. If you own a cloth face mask (and not a disposable one), you need to be washing it to help protect yourself and others.Hearst Newspapers participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites.Ana Suarez is the senior commerce editor for Hearst Newspapers.

The return of football has become a key talking point across Europe as countries begin to lift coronavirus restrictions, with mixed results, across the continent.Though France, Belgium, and the Netherlands have all advocated abandoning the 2019-20 season, Germany's top flight will be the first major league in Europe to return to competition this weekend.In the UK, the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) seems destined to follow the former countries, ending the season prematurely, after a vote by clubs.But circumstances surrounding the decision have included accusations of bullying and calls for an independent inquiry.Football in Scotland, at both professional and grassroots level, was suspended on March 13 following the UK government's announcement of measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic.On 8 April, the SPFL then balloted clubs about ending competitive football in tiers 2-4 of the league system and awarding places based on an average points basis. The resolution also proposed the option of ending the Scottish Premier League it the remaining 49 fixtures could not be played.By 18.00 (CET) the league had received 39 responses from the 42 clubs, 85% of which were in favour of abandoning competition. But the league was still waiting for clubs to submit a response.The SPFL eventually stated that the resolution has been passed by 81% of all clubs, meaning that league titles were awarded."What has been agreed today is not just the best way forward, it was the only realistic way forward and I now call on all 42 clubs to move forward in a constructive and positive way,” said SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan in a statement.But the result of the vote and its premature publishing caused widespread controversy.Dundee's decisive vote missingOne club, Dundee, had intended to submit a 'no' vote to the resolution, which would have been pivotal to the final decision.But "despite being electronically submitted, for whatever reason, our vote did not reach the centre (SPFL)", Dundee said in a statement.The club noted that this raised an "immediate red flag" and they also discovered that at least two other top-flight clubs had modified their position on the vote from previous meetings.But the club has also made it clear that their vote did not change, as has been reported by some news outlets.The SPFL have said they proceeded with the vote based on written instruction that the club did not want to vote.Dundee says that they believe the SPFL has made mistakes in the decision process, by "not taking into consideration any financial fallout to their member clubs and publishing of the incomplete ballot results".A number of other clubs have also been left unsatisfied with the decision and a feeling of mistrust has circulated in Scottish football.Rangers, who were second in the Premier League, have said the SPFL has conducted a "misleading and deeply flawed" process and that "no fair-minded person can take the outcome of this vote seriously".The Glasgow-based club has also taken issue with the decision to publish the outcome of the decision before all clubs had voted, which they say has "undermined the democratic process and demonstrated unacceptable standards of corporate governance by the SPFL Executive"."We are [also] extremely concerned that member clubs were not provided with enough information, or time, to allow them to make fully informed decisions."Rangers also say that several club directors have claimed they were "bullied" and have requested an independent investigation into the conduct of the SPFL executive.While the SPFL have already investigated the voting process, Rangers have said that only an internal investigation would provide "satisfactory, credible answers", and have called for SPFL officials to be suspended."In the past few days, we have become alarmed at a seeming lack of even-handedness and fair play from the SPFL," said Rangers’ Interim Chairman, Douglas Park."This is surely unacceptable and, if substantiated, must be remedied."“Other member clubs, who have seen the evidence [of a whistelblower] we hold, share our concerns."Rangers were, however, criticised for their actions, with suggestions that the club may have ulterior motives for an investigation.But calls for an independent investigation into the SPFL was also tabled for motion in the UK's Parliament by DUP MP for Londonderry East, Gregory Campbell. Other UK MPs have branded the situation an “embarrassment”.Clubs decide against an investigationOn 24 April, Rangers released another statement outlining their complaints in full and called for an emergency vote for an independent investigation.These complaints included;The decision to announce the result of an incomplete vote before all votes had been receivedThe decision to disregard the vote submitted by Dundee FCThe interaction of SPFL executives with clubs during the voting process including the disclosure to clubs of how other member clubs had votedOther clubs have also appealed against the lack of time that clubs were given to discuss and vote on a resolution to restructure Scottish football's league system after the pandemic.An expansion of the top division from 12 teams to 14 teams would mean two clubs - Hamilton Academical and Heart of Midlothian - would avoid relegation."It is fundamentally wrong that any club should be unfairly penalised by exceptional decisions that have had to be taken to deal with the current crisis," said Hearts Chairman, Ann Budge.On Tuesday, Scottish football held the extraordinary meeting, with the support of 32 out of 42 football clubs needed to pass the resolution for an investigation in the SPFLOnly thirteen clubs backed the motion, with 27 against and two abstaining.“The last few weeks have been bruising ones for many people in our game. Far too many words have been spoken and written which have sown anger and division amongst clubs," the SPFL chairman said in a statement."It’s now incumbent on all clubs to put their differences aside, otherwise we will all suffer together."“We simply cannot afford the distraction of further infighting or legal challenges. I’m sure we can all agree that the quicker we get back to playing football, the better.”The outcome of no investigation was also welcomed by Celtic, leaders of the Scottish Premier League."We are satisfied that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by the [SPFL] board or executive and do not consider that such an inquiry is necessary," said the Glasgow club."The board and executive of the SPFL have operated under circumstances of unique difficulty in dealing with challenges of an unprecedented nature."But Rangers have released another statement arguing that the vote should not be regarded as an endorsement of the SPFL executive."A light has been shone on the SPFL’s governance and regardless of the attempts to debunk our report, there is widespread acknowledgment that it highlighted serious issues and failings which remain to be addressed."Rangers say that a culture against accountability and scrutiny in Scottish football must be addressed."It is clear that many members have lost confidence in the SPFL leadership and the need for change will not diminish. The status quo cannot hold."What happens next?A number of teams have spoken of exploring all possibilities of legal action, including the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.But following Tuesday's vote, it seems imminently likely that Celtic will be declared champions of the Scottish Premiership, their ninth consecutive championship, as the 2019-20 season is abandoned.It is nevertheless a fact that 13 clubs in Scotland - more than 30% of all teams represented by the SPFL - have expressed serious doubts in the executive and wanted an inquiry into their actions.On top of this, an insolvency report into British football has found that the coronavirus pandemic has "thrown the future health of football clubs across Scotland into danger"."The longer we are unable to play matches in Scotland, the more essential will be significant financial support for our hard-pressed national sport,” said Neil Doncaster, SPFL Chief Executive.The majority of words within Scottish football now seem to be focused on the future, after an ugly episode for the league and its exe

The car industry is used to having huge challenges thrown at it. Legislators have long been setting aggressive targets around cutting tailpipe emissions to improve air quality, speeding up the hugely expensive development of electrified technologies in the process. Political issues such as the US-China trade war and, of course, Brexit have brought uncertainty to buyers and markets and hurt bottom lines. And all the while, buyers have been demanding ever-more sophisticated cars and technology with little willingness to pay more for it.Yet however high car makers have been asked to jump in recent years, they’ve managed to do so. But all this was before the latest challenge to hit the industry: Covid-19. And, as we’ll discover, it’s probably the biggest that the industry has ever collectively faced, touching all corners of the market all over the world, while none of those existing problems have gone away.Over the next two weeks, we'll be publishing a series of reports looking at the biggest issues faced by car makers at the moment. We'll keep this page updated with new articles, and all of them can be found on our industry news page.Coronavirus and the car world: latest updatesProduction lines came to a complete halt globally. Car sales have collapsed to zero or near-zero in many of the major markets. Oil prices have dramatically fallen. Millions of jobs have been lost. Economies have contracted by record amounts. Consumer confidence has all but evaporated. International borders have been closed. Each is a big problem on its own; collectively, the impact is unprecedented.Here, we attempt to analyse just what impact all of this will have on the British car industry – and find that, among all the bad news, there is hope and, in many cases, optimism that there remains light at the end of the tunnel.Just what are we facing?Remember Brexit? For years, the UK’s departure from the European Union was the only topic in the British car industry. Uncertainty over future UK-EU trade affected investment, contributing to job cuts and plant closures – and putting the future of several more British factories in doubt. To an industry already struggling with falling sales and the need to invest heavily in new technology, Brexit was, apparently, the biggest threat in decades. Perspectives change fast, eh? The damage wrought by this pandemic to the worldwide car industry in just five months makes Brexit seem positively trivial. Industry leaders must be nostalgic for the heady days of fretting about tariff-free trade. February seems a lifetime ago. Ultimately, Covid-19 is a health crisis, one that has already claimed more than 300,000 lives worldwide, with millions of people affected by illness or the effects of lockdowns. The social and economic impacts have been huge as well. As lockdown measures were introduced to slow the spread of the disease, virtually every car factory worldwide had to suspend production. Dealerships also shut, prompting sales to slump. In the first four months of 2020, global car sales fell by 29.2% year on year. In Europe, lockdown restrictions beginning in March massively hit sales in April: they were down 80%. In the UK, sales fell by 97% in April. With dealerships shut until June, May will be just as bad. Analysts don’t expect demand to recover for the rest of 2020 – possibly longer. The impact on car production in the UK has also been huge: from March until mid-May, when some restrictions in England were eased, it’s estimated that 240,000 vehicles were lost and at least 64,500 employees affected, many of them furloughed. Even as the lockdown begins to ease, the future is uncertain. Social-distancing requirements are forcing firms to rethink the way they make cars and will inevitably slow lines. It’s unclear how long it will take for sales to recover, and the financial impact of the lockdown will be felt industry-wide.

According to a court filing, Costa, 31, defrauded the state of more than 1m euros (£813,000) by not declaring payments of more than 5.15m euros (£4.19m) from his 2014 move to Chelsea.In addition, he did not declare more than 1m euros in image rights.Prosecutors in Madrid want the Spain international to be given a six month prison sentence and a fine of 507,208 euros (£457,128).Spanish law allows sentences below two years for non-violent crimes to be exchanged for a fine, so if found guilty Costa would avoid prison if he paid an additional fine of 36,500 euros (£32,896).Costa re-joined Atletico from Chelsea in 2017.The amounts Costa is alleged to have defrauded the Spanish government in 2014 are accurate using the currency exchange rates at the time.

Shareby Lawrence Allan29 May 2020The owner of the Williams Formula 1 team has confirmed a plan to sell all or part of the company in efforts to raise fresh capital.Now widely reported, the decision would mean founder Sir Frank Williams relinquishing majority ownership of the once-dominant team after 43 years at the helm.In a statement, Williams Grand Prix Holdings (WGPH) has said this is the “right and prudent thing to do in order to take time to consider a full range of options and put the Formula 1 team in the best possible position for the future”.The statement list “various strategic options” that are being considered, “including but not limited to raising new capital for the business, a divestment of a minority stake in Williams Grand Prix Holdings, or a divestment of a majority stake in WGPH including a potential sale of the whole company”.Williams posted a loss of £13 million for 2019, selling a substantial stake in its Williams Advanced Engineering arm to a private equity firm to bolster its balance sheet. However, the coronavirus pandemic has brought into focus the financial struggles of a team now regularly competing at the back of the F1 grid.The British team, based in Oxfordshire, has also split with its title sponsor Rokit and major sponsor Rok drinks.The decision comes soon after F1’s owner, Liberty Media, introduced a budget cap for next season to ease the financial burden on team revenues post-pandemic.Today Renault chief financial officer Clotilde Delbos confirmed the French car maker's intention to stay in F1

The changes to the sporting, technical and financial regulations were passed by e-vote at Wednesday's world motorsport council meeting. It was "due to the need to reduce costs and safeguard the sport in light of the Covid-19 pandemic", said a statement. F1 had previously agreed to introduce a budget cap for the 2021 season, but these new measures go further. Last Friday teams voted to accept a plan to lower the budget cap to be introduced next year by $30m to $145m (£114m). This will be reduced again to $140m in 2022 and $135m for the period 2023-25. This is one of a series of measures aimed at reducing costs and levelling the field, including a research-and-development handicap system.

BMW has revealed a raft of upgrades for its class-leading 5 Series to fend off the newer Audi A6 and refreshed Mercedes-Benz E-Class, including new technology, new engines and the introduction of a 523bhp M Performance variant to the UK line-up.oo.The suite of updates to BMW’s executive mainstay also brings a new 389bhp 545e xDrive plug-in hybrid model into the line-up, plus UK customers will be able to order the 523bhp M550i for the first time. This variant has been on sale in mainland Europe since last year.Launched in 2016, the seventh-generation 5 Series has continued the success of its predecessors, with more than 600,000 sales achieved worldwide to date. The facelifted model is scheduled to reach UK dealerships in both its saloon and Touring estate guises in July.In a continuation of its electrification strategy, BMW has fitted its mild-hybrid system to all 5 Series petrol and diesel models with either a four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine. First introduced to the line-up on the 520d last year, it adds a 48V starter-generator and a second battery. Together, they provide an 11bhp temporary boost to the engine’s power reserves as well as a number of new fuel-saving features. These include a coast function that shuts down the engine for periods of trailing throttle, improved brake-energy recuperation and the ability for the engine to be automatically switched off at speeds below 9mph.Among the petrol models are the four-cylinder 181bhp 520i and the 248bhp 530i, as well as the six-cylinder 329bhp 540i. The 530i and 540i are available with standard rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive. Above them is the four wheel-drive M550i xDrive. Available in saloon form only, its turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine delivers 523bhp and 553lb ft torque, enabling a 0-62mph time of 4.0sec.Three diesels are again available: the four-cylinder 188bhp 520d and two six-cylinder models, the 281bhp 530d and 335bhp 540d xDrive. The 520d and 530d come with standard rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive, while the 540d is available with four-wheel drive exclusively. Changes to the six-cylinder diesel engine – including the adoption of two-stage turbocharging and new common-rail piezo injectors that operate at up to 2700bar – bring gains of 20bhp and 22lb ft to the 530d and of 20bhp and 15lb ft to the 540d.The petrol-electric plug-in hybrid 530e, which comes with standard rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive, has been updated with the latest evolution of BMW’s turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. However, it continues to deliver the same nominal combined system output of 248bhp and 310lb ft as before, with 288bhp and the same 310lb ft available for 10sec via a so-called XtraBoost function. On a full charge, it has a WLTP-certified electric-only range of up 42 miles.New to the family is the four wheel-drive 545e xDrive plug-in hybrid, which uses the same 248bhp turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line-six-cylinder petrol engine and 107bhp electric motor as the larger 745e. Together, these provide a system output of 389bhp and 442lb ft, giving the 545e a 0-62mph time of 4.7sec and a governed 155mph top speed. The plug-in hybrid’s combined WLTP fuel economy is between 117.7mpg and 134.5mpg, with CO2 emissions of 49-54g/km. With a lithium ion battery mounted within the floor of the boot, the 545e achieves an electric-only range of up to 35 miles at speeds of up to 87mph, according to BMW. As before, all drivetrains are mated to a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox, with no manual option offered.Although the new M550i will head the range for now, a reworked M5 will be unveiled later this year. It’s set to sire a new M5 CS model with revised aerodynamics, including a rear wing similar to that seen on the M2 CS, M3 CS and M4 CS, plus lightweight carbonfibre-reinforced plastic components. Nothing is confirmed just yet but the future range-topping M5 model is rumoured to feature a newly developed V8 engine with even more firepower than the 616bhp twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 used by Back to topExterior changes for the 5 Series are concentrated on the front grille, which is now wider and positioned lower than before. It also receives a new single-frame design, with a central element in chrome, and sits within a reprofiled front bumper.Styling tweaks have been applied to the headlights as well. They receive new graphics, with L-shaped daytime running lights and indicators located at the outer edges. LED headlights are once again standard, although there’s now a greater number of options, including BMW’s super-bright Laserlight high-beam option. There are also more heavily structured tail-lights similar in design to those that grace the latest 3 Series, as well as a redesigned rear bumper. Regardless of the model, all 5 Series are now fitted with trapezoidal tailpipes. Buyers can now choose between two non-metallic and eight metallic colours. These include new Phytonic Blue metallic and Bernina Grey amber-effect metallic as part of the standard colour range and new Aventurine Red metallic and Tanzanite Blue metallic within the BMW Individual range. The upgraded brake calipers that are part of the M Sport styling package can also now be specified in red as well as the previous blue.From the start of sales for the new 5 Series, BMW is offering an M Sport Edition model in Donington Grey, a colour previously available for the M5 only, or Tanzanite Blue, which can otherwise be ordered only via BMW Individual. Limited to 1000 examples, the model also has 20in alloy wheels and a raft of typical M Sport touches.BMW says the adoption of new bumpers has increased the length of the saloon by 27mm and the Touring by 21mm so that both now measure 4963mm. Refinements to the aerodynamics – most notably with underbody cladding and an active air flap control system for the radiator – net the saloon a drag coefficient that is described as class-leading, at 0.23Cd, while the Touring is put at 0.26Cd. Back to topInside, the 5 Series has the latest seventh-generation version of BMW’s iDrive infotainment system along with either a standard 10.3in or optional 12.3in central display. Entry-level SE cars get more kit than before, while M Sport estates receive black roof rails. Further interior tweaks are focused on the dashboard, which gains a new lower climate display alongside revised materials and gloss black centre console details.There are also new electric M multi-function seats, previously reserved for the M5, with integral head restraints and added side support as part of an optional M Sport package.The new 5 Series is available to order UK now, with prices for the saloon starting at £37,480 for the 520i SE. The estate commands an extra £2250. M Sport trim adds £3500 across the range, while M Sport Edition models are priced from £45,480.The newly added 545e xDrive, which will enter production in November, is priced from £54,945 in SE trim. The flagship M550i xDrive costs £67,595 – around £30,000 less than the current M5 Competition.
