The researchers in Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi conducted a study on the effectiveness of Yoga in handling stress related problems thereby giving an empirical evidence to the widely perceived notion that Yoga helps in maintaining peace and well-being. This was carried out in extreme times like pandemic induced lockdowns. According to the study conducted in both English and Hindi in online mode and was published in PLOS ONE, “Yoga practitioners had lower stress, anxiety and depression, higher wellbeing and a higher peace of mind during 4-10 weeks of lockdown due to COVID-19 outbreak last year as compared to the non-practitioners.” The study which was conducted on 668 participants is titled ‘Yoga an effective strategy for self-management of stress-related problems and wellbeing during COVID-19 lockdown: A cross-sectional study’. In a statement Pooja Sahni said, “While yoga has been recommended as one of the ways to manage stress during COVID-19, there was lack of empirical evidence to support the claims. Our study has mapped the effect of yoga on the cognitive and emotional problems of COVID-19, besides showing beneficial effects of yoga on general wellbeing during adversity. Evidence supports that yoga was found as an effective self- management strategy to cope with stress, anxiety and depression, and maintain wellbeing during COVID19 lockdown”, said Dr. Pooja Sahni. The research was conducted by the National Resource Centre for Value Education in Engineering (NRCVEE) between April 26 and June 8, 2020 with academics affiliated to the center - Dr Pooja Sahni; Nitesh Sharma, Dr Kamlesh Singh, Professor at Humanities and Social Sciences Department, IIT Delhi and Prof Rahul Garg, Head, NRCVEE. The participants were identified as “yoga practitioners”, “other spiritual practitioners”, and “non-practitioners” and was observed that the long term practitioners reported higher personal control and lower illness concern in contracting COVID-19 than the mid-term or beginner group. The long- term and mid-term practitioners also reported perceiving lower emotional impact of COVID-19 and lower risk in contracting COVID-19 than the beginners. Similarly, the general wellbeing was reported higher by the long term and mid- term practitioners than the beginners group. Further, the long term practitioners were found to have highest peace of mind, lowest depression and anxiety with no significant difference in the mid-term and the beginner group. As we know that the World Economic Forum estimated about 2.6 billion people around the world vulnerable to the stress-related disorder epidemic in the second half of 2020 due to the lockdown. Similarly, the World economic forum estimated the huge impact of the lockdown on mental health. There was a survey by the Indian Psychiatric Society which showed that two-fifth of the people are experiencing common mental disorders, due to lockdown and the prevailing COVID19 pandemic in India. The researchers feel that it was an indication to find an urgent solution or action to reduce the adverse effects of the COVID19 lockdown on the general well-being of people. To the best of their knowledge the empirical investigation for the effects of yoga and other spiritual practices on illness perception and wellbeing related problems experienced by people during COVID19 has not been examined so far. According to the academics this study is going to give impetus in the healthcare practices and make way for including yoga as an alternate therapy for self-management and proposed its inclusion in the higher education curriculum.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said his government will not be intimidated by Facebook blocking news feeds to users. He described the move to "unfriend Australia" as arrogant and disappointing. Facebook is responding to a proposed law which would make tech giants pay for news content on their platforms. Australians on Thursday woke up to find that Facebook pages of all local and global news sites were unavailable. People outside the country are also unable to read or access any Australian news publications on the platform. Several government health and emergency pages were also blocked. Facebook later asserted this was a mistake and many of these pages are now back online. Google and Facebook have fought the law because they say it doesn't reflect how the internet works, and unfairly "penalises" their platforms. However, in contrast to Facebook, Google has in recent days signed payment deals with three major Australian media outlets. Facebook's action came just hours after Google agreed to pay Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for content from news sites across its media empire. What is the response to the ban? In a statement posted on Facebook, Mr Morrison said that big tech companies might be changing the world but this did not mean they should run it. "Facebook's actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing," he said. Australia vs tech firms: What’s this row about? News publishers fight tech giants for better deals "I am in regular contact with the leaders of other nations on these issues. We simply won't be intimidated," he added. Mr Morrison urged Facebook to work constructively with the government, "as Google recently demonstrated in good faith". Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the ban on news information had a "huge community impact". About 17 million Australians visit the social media site every month. Consumption of digital news through social media and search engines is growing in Australia, according to the Reuters Digital News Report for 2020. Some 37% of consumers who took part said they had gained access to news via social media over the course of a week, compared with 31% who had directly accessed websites or apps, the report said. Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan accused Facebook of "behaving like a North Korean dictator". Others suggested that a news vacuum could be filled by misinformation and conspiracy theories. In a tweet, Sydney Morning Herald editor Lisa Davies described the move as a "tantrum". Human Rights Watch's Australia director said Facebook was censoring the flow of information in the country - calling it a "dangerous turn of events". "Cutting off access to vital information to an entire country in the dead of the night is unconscionable," said Elaine Pearson. What about the public reaction? Many Australians are angry about their sudden loss of access to trusted and authoritative sources. "It feels obviously very restrictive in what Facebook is going to allow people to do in the future, not only in Australia but around the world," Peter Firth, in Sydney, told the BBC. Amelia Marshall said she could not believe the firm's decision "in the middle of a pandemic", adding: "I've made the long-overdue decision to permanently delete my Facebook account." Why is Facebook doing this? Australian authorities had drawn up the laws to "level the playing field" between the tech giants and struggling publishers over profits. Of every A$100 (£56; $77) spent on digital advertising in Australian media these days, A$81 goes to Google and Facebook. But Facebook said the law left it "facing a stark choice: attempt to comply with a law that ignores the realities of this relationship, or stop allowing news content on our services in Australia". "With a heavy heart, we are choosing the latter," it said in a blog post.

Porsche’s celebrated track-bred GT3 line has moved into a new generation with the long-awaited unveiling of the 992-series 911 GT3. The new model, on sale now priced from £123,100, is described as “a highly athletic road car fit for high-performance driving on track balanced with the demands of everyday use”. As with previous GT3 models, Porsche Motorsport has been heavily involved in the car’s development, this time in a bid to transfer “pure racing technology into a production model more consistently than ever before”. To that end, the 992-gen GT3 features the traditionally high-revving naturally aspirated flat six in 4.0-litre form, with more power than ever. It also gets key aerodynamic and technological upgrades, the sum total of which has enabled the new model to set an impressive sub-7min lap time on the 12.9- mile Nürburgring Nordschleife. It also retains the option of a manual gearbox. The 911 GT3 benefits from extensive exterior upgrades aimed mostly at enhancing aerodynamics and cooling. The most significant addition is a new ‘swan neck’ rear wing, adapted from that of the 911 RSR racing car. It’s manually adjustable and teamed with a prominent diffuser that can also be adjusted into a ‘Performance’ position to increase downforce. Porsche claims this mode is reserved “strictly for outings on the circuit”. Other visible changes over a standard 992-gen 911 include a deeper front bumper with cleaner sides for further improved aero and a large central intake, plus further airflow-enhancing ‘nostril’ vents on the front bonnet. One GT3-specific optional extra is a roof made of exposed carbonfibre. A number of customisation options via the Porsche Exclusive range are available, including carbon mirror tops, darkened headlights, a redesigned rear light cluster and Guards Red or Shark Blue paintwork for the edge of the wheel rims. Powertrain Like all 992s, the new GT3 is available solely in wide-bodied form. Dimensions have yet to be revealed, but despite the increased width and additional tech over its predecessor, the car has a claimed kerb weight of 1418kg with the six-speed manual gearbox and 1435kg with the seven-speed PDK automatic. The use of carbonfibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) to make the front bonnet, lightweight glass, “optimised” brake discs and forged alloy wheels are listed alongside a lighter rear seat compartment cover as reasons for the model being only around 5kg heavier than its smaller predecessor. Furthermore, a lightweight exhaust system, which saves 10kg, features “infinitely” adjustable flaps to ensure a “highly emotional sound experience” while still meeting the latest emissions and noise regulations. The 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat six is adapted from the track-only GT3’s and is “practically unchanged” from the unit to be used in the latest GT3 Cup racing car, according to Porsche.

The festival of Basant Panchami is being celebrated this year on Tuesday, February 16. Observed on the fifth day of the month of Magha, Basant Panchami marks the preparation of the arrival of spring. The festival is celebrated by people in different ways depending on their region. On Basant Panchami, the Hindu Goddess Sarawati is also worshipped by the devotees. Apart from wearing yellow clothes and offering yellow flowers, devotees also eat yellow rice on this occasion. Here is a list of dishes that you can enjoy on Basant Panchami 2021: Boondi The yellow-orange coloured sweet is made using chickpea flour. It is an easy to make sweet dish which requires ingredients like besan (chickpea flour), baking soda and sugar syrup. A thin batter of besan should be made which should be dropped in hot oil using a ladle to make small-sized boondis. This fried boondi should be dipped in sugar syrup. Zarda (Meethe chawal) One of the most po[CENSORED]r recipes on Basant Panchami, sweet rice, can be made by using sticky rice and aromatic spices. Rice should be soaked in water for 20 minutes and then should be cooked or can even be parboiled. In another pan, add ghee, aromatic spices and rice along with sugar. Wait for the rice to get cooked and then serve. Rava Kesari This sweet dish can be prepared by using semolina and sugar. It is usually prepared during auspicious occasions. Take a cup of semolina and roast it in ghee first then add sugar solution to the mixture. Separately, fry the dry fruits and add them to the sugar semolina mixture. Mix it completely, add yellow food colour and water to semolina to get the desired consistency. Khichdi Devotees can also prepare khichdi as part of the Basant Panchami feast. Mix rice and any yellow pulse in a cooker. Add spices to the mixture and put it on pressure. The simple and easy-to-cook khichdi is a light food. Lemon Rice This tangy yellow rice can also be a part of the festivities on Basant Panchami as a main dish. Prepared by adding spices like red chillies, mustard seeds and lemon juice to rice, this dish can be a new addition to your Basant Panchami menu.

The daughter of Dubai's ruler who tried to flee the country in 2018 later sent secret video messages to friends accusing her father of holding her "hostage" as she feared for her life. In footage shared with BBC Panorama, Princess Latifa Al Maktoum says commandos drugged her as she fled by boat and flew her back to detention. The secret messages have stopped - and friends are urging the UN to step in. Dubai and the UAE have previously said she is safe in the care of family. Ex-UN rights envoy Mary Robinson, who had described Latifa as a "troubled young woman" after meeting her in 2018, now says she was "horribly tricked" by the princess's family. The former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and president of Ireland has joined calls for international action to establish Latifa's current condition and whereabouts. "I continue to be very worried about Latifa. Things have moved on. And so I think it should be investigated," she said. Latifa's father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is one of the richest heads of state in the world, the ruler of Dubai and vice-president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The videos were recorded over several months on a phone Latifa was secretly given about a year after her capture and return to Dubai. She recorded them in a bathroom as it had the only door she could lock. In the messages, she detailed how: she fought back against the soldiers taking her off the boat, "kicking and fighting" and biting one Emirati commando's arm until he screamed after being tranquillised she lost consciousness as she was being carried on to a private jet, and didn't wake up until it landed in Dubai she was being held alone without access to medical or legal help in a villa with windows and doors barred shut, and guarded by police Latifa's account of her capture and detention was revealed to Panorama by her close friend Tiina Jauhiainen, maternal cousin Marcus Essabri and campaigner David Haigh, who are all behind the Free Latifa campaign. They say they have taken the difficult decision to release the messages now out of concern for Latifa's safety. It was they who managed to establish contact with Latifa as she was held in a Dubai "villa", which she said had barred windows and police guards. Panorama has independently verified the details of where Latifa was held.
