It's a bit unsettling that there's a close connection between carriages to after-life, otherwise known as hearses, and luxurious limousines with near-infinite legrooms. Then again, that's the reality of it, and Sayers & Scovill (or the S&S Coach Company) is one of those builders that customize and build hearses and limos from existing Cadillac vehicles. S&S, however, just announced a new product to be added to its portfolio. Called the 2021 Cadillac XT6 Presidential Limousine, it's based on the Cadillac XT6 crossover, obviously, but it looks all sorts of weird. If you're having a hard time finding what's weird about this limo, well, just look at the rear. It's going to be hard to unsee that and we're not entirely sorry at all. The proportions look odd, and that's because it's literally an after-thought to add a trunk to this stretched crossover. We're having a hard time processing this, actually, but it reminds us of the first-generation Suzuki Swift Dzire – the sedan version of the Suzuki Swift sold in Asia, or more accurately a hatchback that has been awkwardly grafted with a trunk. Then again, it's an official offering by Sayers & Scovill and they take pride in it, saying that it's "an industry exclusive trunk for distinctive styling and maximum functionality." Meanwhile, Cadillac is reportedly working on an XT5 hearse and limousine, with details emerging just recently. Don't worry, the stretched XT5 wasn't given a trunk, or at least that's what the previous spy shots show us, but yes, you may now start getting used to seeing a stretched Cadillac SUV. We're not going to ask you to let us know what you think about the S&S XT6 Presidential Limo because we know you would, so fire away in the comments section below.

In the lockdown, we were forced to stay at home — with or without families. It was also a time when we stepped into the kitchen to cook and look after ourselves. Multiple food trends came to the fore: from Dalgona coffee to banana bread, and more. And before we realised, social media became a platform for budding home-bakers, one-minute recipes and many new food bloggers. Indianexpress.com got in touch with some of these highly-skilled food bloggers from around the country to understand if 2021 will turn out to be different in terms of food trends and food blogging. The bloggers talked about their journey before and after the pandemic, while also predicting some trends they look forward to this year.“I began food blogging way back in 2007, upon discovering a few really interesting food blogs from the US,” Deeba Rajpal, who runs a food page ‘Passionate About Baking’ on Instagram, said. “Back then, it was just another way to document my recipes and baking journey. One thing led to another — I was inspired to take better pictures and the blog soon became an obsession! Now, the industry is different. Then, we were a handful of bloggers who were a close-knit community; we met often and interacted a lot. Now there are 1,000 new food blogs every day and it’s a crowded space,” she told this outlet. But Rajpal discovered there were “loads of opportunities to create and share content”. “Comfort food took on a new meaning in 2020!” With over 1,00,000 followers on Instagram, she has always been “inspired by seasons” and says will “go with the flow”. She also mentioned that she is “eager to see quick and easy recipes — breakfast cereal, coffee in food, pies, breads — take over 2021”. Year of recovery, rejuvenation Devashree Sanghvi, an award-winning 26-year-old blogger from Mumbai, meanwhile, shared what kept her occupied in 2020. “I believe 2020 has been a tough year for everyone. In the lockdown, I did a lot of research on ‘culinary tourism’, posted many easy recipes that people loved, hosted and spoke with students on webinars, etc. We also worked with some amazing home-grown and FMCG brands to create engaging content around them.” She added that she has “learnt to adapt to new situations”. On how she thinks 2021 would be different, she said: “We’re blessed that India has opened up so much and things are almost back to normal. With safety precautions in mind, I’ve started exploring more of our Indian states and their amazing cuisines, understanding and writing about them and also re-creating some recipes for the blog. I always believe in creating content that’s unique and useful, so I’ll continue my culinary adventures in our beautiful country and expand my creativity. 2021 is truly the year of recovery and rejuvenation.” Besides blogging, Sanghvi also covers travel and lifestyle. “I’ve always been passionate about food ever since I was a child. I’ve grown up watching my grandmother make amazing dishes and learnt how to make them. I loved writing about recipes, travel and street food, and converted that passion into ‘The Crazy Indian Foodie’ which has now grown into a huge platform with over 360k+ followers. When I started five years ago, the concept of ‘influencers’ was new and influencer marketing was in its nascent stages. Now, there is a huge influx of food pages and also massive growth of influencer marketing with brands.” From being a full-time corporate employee to starting her own blog as ‘Masterchef Mom’, Uma Raghuraman has come a long way. She started in 2004, sharing her dishes with the world through her Facebook page. “It was a huge hit and many wanted me to share detailed recipes, the process and stories behind the dishes. This inspired me to start my blog ‘Masterchefmom’. Through it, I wanted to inspire young mothers to cook healthy, creative and interesting dishes that will not only excite the person who eats them, but will also energise and brings loads of enthusiasm to the cook. I received a lot of love for my recipes and also requests to share more than just lunch-box ideas. So, I started sharing recipes of everyday Indian dishes, with step-wise pictures to cook them from scratch. Currently, there are more than 1,000 recipes on my blog to help young mothers going through similar challenges. I also received a lot of appreciation for my food pictures, and that led me to start my Instagram account, which has more than 88K followers today,” she shared with indianexpress.com.

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Friday that the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has fined cricketer Umar Akmal Rs4.25 million and reduced his ban to 12 months. A press release by the PCB said Akmal had been found guilty of violating Article 2.4.4 of the PCB Ant--Corruption Code and a fine of Rs4.25 million had been imposed on him. Akmal, according to the PCB, will be eligible to return to cricket after paying a fine of Rs4,250,000 and undergoing a rehabilitation programme under the PCB's Anti-Corruption Code. The CAS has rejected Akmal's appeal to have his two mobile phones returned to him. The court said that the PCB is holding the phones for different investigations and it has the right to do so. On 27 April 2020, the Chairman Disciplinary Panel had found Umar Akmal guilty on two charges of separate breaches of Article 2.4.4 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code in two unrelated incidents and handed a three-year suspension with the periods of ineligibility to run concurrently. After Akmal appealed against the decision on July 29, 2020, the Independent Adjudicator modified the sentence and reduced the ineligibility period to 18 months. The PCB and Akmal had both approached the CAS against this decision, with the latter claiming he was not guilty of the charges while the PCB's appeal "had been filed focusing on a point of law in regard with cumulative operation of the sanctions for the two charges upheld by the Independent Adjudicator". The PCB reminded all cricketers to promptly report incidences of match-fixing and spot-fixing when they take place to help "the anti-corruption unit effort to eliminate the anathema of fixing". PCB disciplinary committee bans Umar Akmal for three years In April 2020, the PCB had banned Akmal for three years after finding him guilty of breaching Article 2.4.4 of the PCB's Anti-Corruption Code. Akmal had landed in hot water after he revealed in an interview that he was offered $200,000 by fixers to leave two deliveries in one of the matches. He had also claimed that he was offered money to skip matches against India. “I was once offered $200,000 for leaving two deliveries. I was also offered to skip matches against India,” he had said in the interview. The batsman had also said that he was approached by fixers duri ng the ICC World Cup, including the 2015 edition played in Australia and New Zealand. However, Akmal had failed to mention if he had reported this to the anti-corruption unit or not. According to the ICC's Anti-Corruption Code 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, players are bound to report all the corrupt approaches made to them during any event and failure of doing so carry a minimum punishment of five years. Akmal was suspended from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Feb 2, 202 and charged with two separate violations of the PCB's code of conduct.

Introduced in 2007, the Lamborghini Reventon was the brand’s most exclusive and most expensive vehicle at the time. The Italian company produced just 20 examples of the supercar (21 if you count the museum piece), and it’s impossible to get one for less than at least a million dollars these days. That is, unless you find this replica appealing. What you see in the gallery below is an attempt for a detailed replication of the Reventon based on a Fiat Coupe. It was built by someone in Sofia, Bulgaria, though the work is not done yet, as the local Autoclub.bg reports. Obviously, it’s far from being a carbon copy of the original but there are some interesting details worth talking about. While the body is clearly not as sharp as the Reventon, the overall proportions seem well matched. The butterfly doors are a nice touch, though the mechanism is different from the original. What ruins it for us, apart from the rough and unfinished body, is the use of the original Fiat headlights and some cheap aftermarket taillights. A set of larger wheels and new grilles in the front bumper would be a welcomed addition, too. This replica is currently for sale and the ad on Facebook Marketplace tells us it has a four-cylinder engine underneath the skin. The good news is that the four-banger is reportedly positioned between the two axles and features “hybrid cooling,” though we are not sure what this means in the context of this car.In general, it’s on the edge of being a laughable attempt but it’s not that bad. This holds true until you see the price. The current owner wants the local equivalent of $12,145 for his project, which is currently registered for public use. The cheapest Reventon in the world or the most expensive Fiat Coupe? Either way, we’d pass.

When children gain excess weight, the culprit is more likely to be eating too much than moving too little, according to a fascinating new study of children in Ecuador. The study compared the lifestyles, diets and body compositions of Amazonian children who live in rural, foraging communities with those of other Indigenous children living in nearby towns, and the results have implications for the rising rates of obesity in both children and adults worldwide. The in-depth study found that the rural children, who run, play and forage for hours, are leaner and more active than their urban counterparts. But they do not burn more calories day to day, a surprising finding that implicates the urban children’s modernised diets in their weight gain. The findings also raise provocative questions about the interplay of physical activity and metabolism and why exercise helps so little with weight loss, not only in children but the rest of us, too. The issue of childhood obesity is of pressing global interest, since the incidence keeps rising, including in communities where it once was uncommon. Researchers variously point to increasing childhood inactivity and junk-food diets as drivers of youthful weight gain. But which of those concerns might be more important — inactivity or overeating — remains murky and matters, as obesity researchers point out, because we cannot effectively respond to a health crisis unless we know its causes. That question drew the interest of Sam Urlacher, an assistant professor of anthropology at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, who for some time has been working among and studying the Shuar people. An Indigenous po[CENSORED]tion in Amazonian Ecuador, the traditional Shuar live primarily by foraging, hunting, fishing and subsistence farming. Their days are hardscrabble and physically demanding, their diets heavy on bananas, plantains and similar starches, and their bodies slight. The Shuar, especially the children, are rarely overweight. They also are not often malnourished. But, Urlacher wondered, were their wiry frames a result mostly of their active lives? As a postgraduate student, he had worked with Herman Pontzer, an associate professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, whose research focuses on how evolution may have shaped our metabolisms and vice versa. In Pontzer’s pioneering research with the Hadza, a tribe of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, he found that, although the tribespeople moved frequently during the day, hunting, digging, dragging, carrying and cooking, they burned about the same number of total calories daily as much-more-sedentary Westerners. Pontzer concluded that, during evolution, we humans must have developed an innate, unconscious ability to reallocate our body’s energy usage. If we burn lots of calories with, for instance, physical activity, we burn fewer with some other biological system, such as reproduction or immune responses. The result is that our average, daily energy expenditure remains within a narrow band of total calories, helpful for avoiding starvation among active hunter-gatherers, but disheartening for those of us in the modern world who find that more exercise does not equate to much, if any, weight loss. (Pontzer’s highly readable new book on this topic, “Burn,” will be published March 2.) Pontzer’s work focuses primarily on Hadza adults, but Urlacher wondered if similar metabolic trade-offs might also exist in children, including among the traditional Shuar. So, for a 2019 study, he precisely measured energy expenditure in some of the young Shuar and compared the total number of calories they incinerated with existing data about the daily calories burned by relatively sedentary (and much heavier) children in the United States and Britain. And the totals matched. Although the young Shuar were far more active, they did not burn more calories overall. But young Shuar differ from most Western children in so many ways, including genetics, that interpreting that study’s findings was challenging, Urlacher knew. But he also was aware of a more comparable group of children only a longish canoe ride away, among Shuar families that had moved to a nearby market town. Their children regularly attended school and ate purchased foods but remained Shuar. So, for the newest study, published in January in The Journal of Nutrition, he and his colleagues gained permission from Shuar families, both rural and relatively urban, to precisely measure the body compositions and energy expenditure of 77 of their children between the ages of 4 and 12, while also tracking their activities with accelerometers and gathering data about what they ate. The urban Shuar children proved to be considerably heavier than their rural counterparts. About a third were overweight by World Health Organization criteria. None of the rural children were. The urban kids also generally were more sedentary. But all of the children — rural or urban, active or not — burned about the same number of calories daily. What differed most were their diets. The children in the market town ate far more meat and dairy products than the rural children, along with new starches, such as white rice, and highly processed foods, such as candy. In general, they ate more and in a more modern way than the rural children, and it was this diet, Urlacher and his colleagues conclude, that contributed most to their higher weight. These findings should not romanticise the forager or hunter-gatherer lifestyle, Urlacher cautions. Rural, traditional Shuar children face frequent parasitic and other infections, as well as stunted growth, in large part because their bodies seem to shunt available calories to other vital functions and away from growing, Urlacher believes. But the results do indicate that how much children eat influences their body weight more than how much they move, he says, an insight that should start to guide any efforts to confront childhood obesity. “Exercise is still very important for children, for all sorts of reasons,” Urlacher says. “But keeping physical activity up may not be enough to deal with childhood obesity.”

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Wednesday that Brisbane holds strong chances to host the 2032 Games, as the committee would enter "targeted dialogue" with bid organisers. "The IOC future host commission recommended that the executive committee initiate a targeted dialogue with Brisbane and the Australian Olympic Committee for the organisation of the 2032 Olympic Games," said IOC president Thomas Bach. "The executive committee unanimously accepted this recommendation." Australia last hosted the Olympics in Sydney in 2000. The bid would be for the Games to be held in the state of Queensland, with Brisbane as the hub. There had been reported interest from India and Chinese city Shanghai, while Qatar last year confirmed it was planning to bid. A potential joint bid between South and North Korea had also been touted, while Germany had also expressed its interest in holding the Games in the North Rhine-Westphalia region. All those hopefuls were dealt a blow by the news on Wednesday, but Bach insisted the IOC had recorded "the interest of a number of parties", although he did not identify them. "It is not a decision against the other candidates, it is a decision in favour of a candidacy," Bach said. He clarified that no final decision on the host city had been made, but that "more detailed discussions" with Brisbane would start, although he gave no timetable. The next IOC session will be held in March, with another scheduled for July. The bid would be focused around Brisbane and Gold Coast, which both already boast extensive sporting infrastructure. Gold Coast held the 2018 Commonwealth Games, while Brisbane boasts 21 sports venues. Australia also previously hosted the Olympics in Melbourne, in 1956. The bid also enjoys the backing of John Coates, the Australian Olympic Committee president, and an influential IOC vice-president. The awarding of the 2032 Olympics is the first to take place with a new election method adopted in June 2019 in an attempt to counter application fees and a lack of serious bids. For the 2024 Games, Bach bemoaned the process had "produced too many losers", after Rome, Hamburg, and Budapest all pulled out of the running. In September 2017, the IOC awarded the 2024 Games to Paris and the 2028 Olympics to Los Angeles. The IOC has since set up its "future host" commission. It is chaired by Norwegian Kristin Kloster Aasen and its nine members are not part of the IOC executive commission. Bach said criticisms of the process were misplaced. "All the rules were passed unanimously by the IOC session in 2019.... to make the whole procedure more low cost, prevent any undue interference, to make it less political," he said. Kloster warned that the award of the 2032 Games to Brisbane is "not a concluded deal". "It is a very advanced project, which has been in place for a long time and which enjoys the support of the authorities," she said. "There are many criteria which correspond to what we expect." Coates, meanwhile, admitted that Wednesday's announcement was "an important step". However, he cautioned that "it is obvious to us that we must continue to work hard".

In September last year, we received interesting spy photos with a stretched Cadillac XT5 prototype. It was obvious that the automaker is working on some sort of a limo version of the crossover but at the time, we didn’t know much. Now, thanks to a new report, we can shine more light on the long-wheelbase XT5. CadillacSociety seems to be in the know that Cadillac is cooperating with aftermarket companies to create both limo and hearse versions of the XT5. While the company itself only told the publication that “the vehicles are up-fitted by aftermarket companies and there is not much else we can share at the moment,” insiders shared some preliminary details. Both vehicles will be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine sending power to the front wheels as standard or, optionally, to both axles. It will be available exclusively with a nine-speed automatic gearbox. The interior of the XT5 limo will be nicely equipped with tons of standard features. These include power and heated seats, a dual-zone climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 60/40 sliding and reclining second-row seat, and others. There’s also a comprehensive family of standard safety features, including automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, front and rear parking sensors, etc. As for the hearse version, obviously, it will lose the rear seats for a different layout. The interior will be finished with Jet Black upholstery and leatherette for the seats. In general, the cabin equipment will be more or less identical to the XT5 limo but there will be modifications to the overall layout. On the outside, both versions will ride on 18-inch wheels and will have LED headlights and a power liftgate. A total of eight exterior colors will be offered for both XT5s, which will act as indirect successors of the discontinued Cadillac XTS Professional Vehicles.

It seems actor George Clooney is not allowed to cut his three-year-old daughter Ella’s hair, for fear that it will land him in trouble with his wife Amal Clooney. During an interview for W Magazine‘s new Best Performances 2021 issue, the 59-year-old shared his parenting learning and experiences in the pandemic, stating that while he is allowed to cut his own hair and that of his son’s, he cannot trim his daughter’s. “I cut [my son’s] hair, and I cut my own hair too, but I’ve always cut my own hair. My hair is like straw… I haven’t cut my daughter’s hair. I’d get in trouble if I did. If I screw up my son’s hair, he’ll grow out of it. But my wife would kill me if I touched my daughter’s hair,” he said. On his pandemic hobbies and activities, the actor joked that he has managed to do a lot of laundry and dishes. “I will tell you what I have taken on as a hobby — two or three loads of laundry a day; dishes all f****** day, because these kids are all slobs. Apparently you have to wash them every once in a while.” The actor welcomed twins Alexander and Ella in 2017, with wife Amal. He had previously stated in an interview with People magazine that he enjoys the fact that Ella and Alexander have distinct personalities.“You learn so much with twins because you’re raising them both at the same time, born the same day, but you realise how little it has to do with you… They were the person they were going to be when they were born. Now all your hope is to just kind of guide them along in the right direction,” Clooney was quoted as saying.

Keen readers will know that the 993 series Porsche 911 resides in a very interesting spot when it comes to the vehicle’s hierarchy. It was the last variant to use an air-cooled engine, and many would argue that it was a lot easier on the eyes than its 996 predecessor. Regardless, Gunther Werks has released an ultra-special Speedster interpretation of the German automobile. Rather unsurprisingly, this example has been heavily modified to offer up some very impressive credentials in performance and aesthetics. Obviously, at first glance it would be hard not to notice the omission of the roof – keeping with the Speedster name. However, while that produces a vehicle that’s tremendous to look at, it does present a number of engineering challenges. In combating the lower structural rigidity associated with a roof delete, GW added reinforcements in the negative space where the coupe’s rear seat compartment was previously located. Also contributing to the stiffer chassis is a new roll cage and roll hoop system to protect the occupants. Power is provided by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine rebuilt by Rothsport Racing which puts out roughly 435 horsepower (324 kilowatts). Thankfully there’s much more to this hot rod than just some exterior tweaks and more power; the 993 Speedster features all-new dynamic suspension components provided by JRZ, accompanied by stiffer and lighter Eisenlohr Racing uprights.The complete package was potent enough to set an air-cooled lap record at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Randy Pobst was behind the wheel, firing the vehicle around the 2.2-mile (3.6-kilometer) long race track in just 1 minute 30.99 seconds. If you want to get your hands on such a machine, act fast because only 25 will be made.

Now that they have made it official that they will neither be resuming their royal responsibilities, nor be returning to the UK, the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — will not be expected to follow many royal traditions either, when they welcome their second child later this year. The first is the posing for royal photographs shortly after giving birth. While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — Prince William and Kate Middleton — posed at the hospital steps after each of their three children were delivered, Harry and Meghan opted out of this when their first child Archie was born in 2019. They did, however, hold a private photo call with the little one two days after his birth at Windsor Castle itself. But since they now reside in the US, they may not release any official photograph at all, not before a considerable time has passed, it is being speculated. In fact, it has become quite common in recent years for non-working royals to opt-out of photo calls.The other thing is that they may not have a royal christening ceremony. Babies born to the royal family in the UK receive an official christening ceremony after birth, performed by the Head of the Church of England. It is said that all royal babies are christened with water from the River Jordan, where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. So, while babies are dressed in the traditional royal christening gown — a replica of a gown made in 1841 for Queen Victoria’s children — it is unclear as to whether Harry and Meghan will go through with this ceremony, which had happened for baby Archie when he was born. Also, it is being speculated that the baby will not have a traditional royal name, much like their sibling Archie Harrison, whose name has no royal significance. The word ‘Harrison’ does, however, mean ‘son of Harry’. Additionally, it is also being understood that there will not be any announcement by the Buckingham Palace, when the baby arrives. While the palace’s communications team informs the birth via a statement to the media, on their social media channels, and also on a traditional easel placed outside the palace, since Harry and Meghan will welcome the baby in the US, this may not happen. News reports suggest the couple has its own press team since March 2020. They announced the second pregnancy through a spokesperson, rather than through the Buckingham Palace.

KARACHI: Pakistan cricket team’s former skipper Azhar Ali on Tuesday said that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has produced good talent for the country since its inception, adding that he is hoping to see the same this season as well. Speaking to Geo News, Azhar said that he has seen some good fast-bowling talent this season, especially Mohammad Wasim junior of Islamabad United or the one who made his debut for Lahore (Salman Mirza). “Lahore has also introduced some good fast bowlers in past like Haris Rauf. They’re now a balanced side and the players found in the development programme have transformed as well, so they’re also producing good results now,” he said about the Qalandars squad. The former Pakistan captain said that the PSL has become one of the top leagues in the cricketing world and players from all over the world are eager to participate in the league. Azhar, who last played a T20 game in 2016, said that although he doesn’t regret it, sometimes he also wishes to play in the Pakistan Super League. Speaking about his favourite team in PSL 6, Azhar said that he considers Lahore Qalandars a "favourite" and expects the team to lift the PSL 6 trophy. “Looking at the way the Qalandards have started, the way Hafeez is batting, and Fakhar has regained his form, the team seems to be in a very good [position]. If it continues to play like this, they’re surely going be the most favourite side this season,” Azhar said. “I am also a Lahori, so I would also like to see Qalandars win the PSL but at the end of the day, every team is representing Pakistan, so whoever wins, Pakistan cricket will be the ultimate winner,” said Azhar, who led Lahore Qalandars in the first edition of the league.
