Nissan has detailed the electrified petrol powertrain offerings for the new Qashqai ahead of its unveiling later this year. The family SUV, which joins a growing number of rivals that have ditched diesel entirely, will be offered with either a mild-hybrid four-cylinder turbocharged engine or the new ePower hybrid system, which makes its European debut. The first, more conventional offering is an updated version of the 1.3-litre turbo engine found in many current Nissan, Renault and Mercedes models. All versions feature a 12V mild-hybrid system, selected for being more affordable than a 48V set-up, mated to a small lithium ion battery to offer torque assist and improved stop-start functionality. Adding 22kg to the powertrain kerb weight, the mild-hybrid system also offers fuel economy improvements and a claimed 4g/km reduction in CO2, although homologation figures have yet to be provided. The engine is offered in 138bhp or 156bhp forms, the latter of which can be specified with all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive system itself is said to be “more intuitive and intelligent”, features five driving modes, and can shift power to the rear wheels five times quicker than the old system. Either a six-speed manual transmission or (on the more powerful unit) a CVT automatic is offered. Nissan has gone from CVT to dual-clutch and back to CVT in the past few years, but claims the new transmission is more efficient and responsive yet avoids the traditional ‘elastic band effect’ - where the engine revs out of kilter with road speed - thanks to simulated stepped gear ratios. The more advanced offering is a new ePower hybrid system, which isn’t a plug-in but differs from parallel hybrids because the engine isn’t directly connected to the wheels. Instead, it charges a battery, which in turn powers an electric motor to drive the wheels. The system has proved hugely po[CENSORED]r in Japan, thrusting the relatively old Note supermini into the biggest seller in its segment. Nissan claims it has been “significantly upgraded” for European customers, however, with a 47%-larger electric motor and a more powerful combustion engine. That engine is a new 1.5-litre unit that features a variable compression ratio - a first for the brand in Europe - to boost efficiency. The electric motor puts out 187bhp (the engine providing 156bhp to charge the battery) and 243lb ft of torque. That’s enough, product planning boss Marco Fioravanti claims, for “really quite impressive” performance and typical EV driving characteristics at lower speeds. Like parallel hybrid set-ups, the system offers a relatively negligible EV-only driving range (below two miles) before the engine-generator kicks in. However, it’s claimed to drive like a classic electric car, with Nissan even fitting the ‘e-Pedal’ system from the Leaf for one-pedal driving using regenerative braking. 2021 Nissan Qashqai: Interior, dimensions and technology The third-generation Qashqai will offer a “class-leading on-board experience”, Nissan claims. The new model, which battles with the Volkswagen Tiguan for the title of segment best-seller in Europe, has grown in physical size but is said to maintain the compact exterior loved by loyal customers. “Exterior dimensions versus exterior size is absolutely critical in Europe, and we have one of the best packages on the market right now," product director Nicholas Tschann told Autocar. It’s 35mm longer, 32mm wider and 25mm taller than the outgoing car, with 20mm added to the wheelbase - described by bosses as the “minimum” size the Qashqai needed to grow to keep distance between it and the Juke.

Bollywood has made several films based on the Indian Army. From the bravery of the soldiers to their sacrifice, the Hindi film industry has tried to portray the courage and struggles of the Indian Army on the 70 mm screen. On Army Day 2021, let us take a look at some of the films which have been made or are being made on the lives of the Indian Army bravehearts: Border: The multi-starrer film directed by JP Dutta revolved around the stories of individual Army officers and soldiers. Many of the film scenes are said to be inspired by true events that happened during the Battle of Longewala in Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Made in the year 1997, the film remains po[CENSORED]r to this date. It won three national awards along with many Filmfare Awards. LoC: Kargil: The 2003 movie was based on Operation Vijay 1999 and Battle of Tololing. It was also directed by JP Dutta and like Border, had a massive star cast. However, it received mixed response both by the critics and audience at the box office. Uri: The Surgical Strike: The 2019 Vicky Kaushal starrer film is based on the surgical strike against Pakistan after the 2016 Uri attack. It has been estimated that the film made around Rs 342 crore at the box office, which makes it one of the highest grossing films of all times. Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw: In this upcomingMeghna Gulzar film, Vicky will be playing the titular role. Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw was the Chief of the Army Staff during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war. The film is based on his life. Shershaah: Based on the life of Army Captain Vikram Batra, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. Captain Vikram was awarded Param Vir Chakra posthumously after he sacrificed his life in the 1999 Kargil War while trying to save a soldier. The film has been produced by Karan Johar and is currently being filmed.

A highly contagious coronavirus variant first detected in the UK could become the dominant strain in the US by March, health officials have said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned of "rapid growth" of the variant in coming weeks. It said such a spike could further threaten health systems already strained by a winter Covid surge. The warning came on Friday as President-elect Joe Biden unveiled an ambitious plan to ramp up vaccinations. To meet his target of inoculating 100 million Americans within his first 100 days in office, Mr Biden said his administration would take a more active role in accelerating the distribution of vaccines. He outlined a plan to set up new mass vaccination centres, hire extra health workers, and ensure the shot is available to everyone, including minority communities that have been hit hardest by the epidemic. How will the world vaccinate seven billion people? Covid map: Where have the two million deaths been? Official data shows that, so far, 12.2 million vaccine doses of have been administered in the US - a figure Mr Biden has criticised as insufficient. More than 30 million doses have been distributed to states. In a speech on Friday, Mr Biden told Americans that "we remain in a very dark winter", admitting that "things will get worse before they get better". "This is going to be one of the most challenging operational efforts ever undertaken by our country," Mr Biden, who takes office on 20 January, said of the vaccination drive. His address came a day after he announced a $1.9tn (£1.4tn) stimulus package for the battered US economy that included a further $20bn for the vaccine roll-out. The plan will need to pass Congress. The US has recorded the highest number of confirmed coronavirus infections - 23.5 million - of any country in the world. At about 391,000, the country's coronavirus deaths account for a fifth of the global total, which passed the two-million mark on Friday. The crisis is particularly acute in the state of California, where deaths have surged by more than 1,000% since November.

TRY NOT TO LAUGH - Cutest Pets & Funny Animal Clips!

Children require a lot of energy as they grow. Vegetables are low in calories and filled with fibre which takes a lot of time to digest. Unlike milk or cereals, vegetables don’t taste great without added condiments. A child is genetically predisposed to foods that provide instant energy and thus instinctively reject vegetables and favour sweets. However, vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, which aids in a child’s growth and protects them from serious diseases. The challenge is to get them to like vegetables. 1. Encourage children Parents should explain to their children the nutritional benefits of the vegetables on display. Also, children learn social behaviour and conduct by mimicking adults in their lives. Hence, parents should encourage their children to try veggies by eating the leafy greens before them. 2. Spice it up Since children are picky eaters, a plate of freshly chopped carrots, onions, lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, with lemon juice and some salt, will be appetising to them and taste good too. Also, rather than offering plain boiled vegetables, parents can serve their children homemade vegetables and burgers to make them accustomed to the eatable plant parts. 3. Make it regularity Parents should make vegetable dishes a regular presence during breakfast, lunch and dinner. It will help children accept vegetables as a regular part of their diets and encourage them to develop a taste for such preparations. 4. Get them interested Cooking vegetarian dishes before children is a great idea to pique their curiosities. Children are instinctively curious and always willing to learn new things. Explaining to them the recipe, the spices used will stimulate their imagination and also their appetite. 5. Be patient Many of us disliked vegetables as kids and preferred sugary foods like cakes, pastries, fizzy drinks, candies and baked potato chips. It was not until we grew up and realised the health benefits of vegetables that we willingly made them a regular part of our diets. Children will also go through the same process and eventually develop similar tastes.

People in central Spain are struggling as a deep freeze follows the weekend's heavy snow, leading to treacherous conditions. Officials have warned the elderly to stay at home. At least seven people have died due to the weather - the two latest victims were homeless people in Barcelona. The temperature plunged to -25C (-13F) in Molina de Aragón and Teruel, in mountains east of Madrid - Spain's coldest night for at least 20 years. Deep snow left by Storm Filomena has turned to ice, disrupting transport. There has been an extraordinary quantity of snow and ice for Spain, where winters are usually quite mild. 'Spanish Siberia' Molina de Aragón, where the coldest overnight temperature was recorded, is 197km (122 miles) north-east of Madrid. It lived up to its nickname, "the Spanish Siberia". "We're going to have this cold for a few more days, but we all pull together," local woman Yoli Asensio told the BBC's Guy Hedgecoe. "Day-to-day life is difficult," she added. "There's so much snow about, the access to homes and roads is blocked. Some older people have had falls." Besides the two deaths in Barcelona, at least five others are known to have died due to the cold: two in Madrid, two in Málaga and one in Zaragoza. In pictures: Europe's unusual January weather The overnight temperature in Madrid itself fell to -16C, and on Monday the capital's hospitals - already under great pressure because of Covid-19 - struggled to cope with patients who had slipped on the ice, breaking bones. Medical sources told El Mundo daily that there were 1,200 fracture cases on Monday in the Madrid region's hospitals, caused by accidents on the ice - an average of 50 an hour. A power cut caused the suspension of the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed rail link, but the service has resumed now, Spanish media report. Many commuter train services were also disrupted by the extreme weather. Flights were suspended at Madrid-Barajas airport at the weekend, but they have gradually resumed, albeit with a big backlog and delays. Spain's El País daily says the danger posed by icy road conditions has prompted what it described as "a titanic effort, what could almost be compared to a dystopian reality". The paper reports that 1,300 snow-clearing vehicles are now operating and in 24 hours they managed to push snow off 12,100km of roads, to keep them ice-free.

What is it? At face value, you would have to be stoutly committed to diesel to choose this TDI take on the new Octavia vRS instead of the petrol version. Both cars are striking to behold and equally well equipped but, for a premium of just £25, the higher-revving TSI gives you 45bhp more. The fact we’re talking about moderately hot hatches here, rather than the 300bhp-plus sharks, makes the discrepancy even more acute. So what does the TDI deliver in return? Superior fuel economy is an obvious one. On paper, the 197bhp TDI (16bhp more than before) is virtually teetotal compared with the TSI, and an indicated average over 65mpg on 30 miles of motorway elicited a genuine double take at the smart digital instrument readout. Clearly, on the continuum of real-world pace versus low fuel bills, few sit higher than this Skoda. And, unsurprisingly, the diesel engine also makes more torque, although so rounded and capable are the modern Volkswagen Group petrols that the advantage is slimmer than you might expect: 295lb ft arriving at 1750rpm plays 273lb ft from 1600rpm and the petrol’s peak torque band is wider. Chassis-wise, both vRS models sit on 15mm-shorter springs than the regular Octavia. They both get the same set of Lamborghini-esque 19in wheels shod in Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres, too. You can then add Dynamic Chassis Control and choose from almost countless damper settings, just like you can in the Volkswagen Golf GTI. However, our car didn't have this £995 extra, and so rode on passive dampers, which control the macpherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension. Note also that the vRS models get a wider rear track. What's it like? From your position within the Skoda's heavily bolstered and vaguely JDM-esque cloth bucket seat, things get intriguing when you hit the back roads. For one thing, compared with the vRS TSI Estate I recently drove, the TDI hatch feels more intimately connected with the road and gives more detailed steering feedback through its firm, perforated (and, come to think about it, also JDM-esque) leather rim. The difference is actually quite stark, although whether that’s to do with this car’s lack of DCC dampers, the physical differences of the diesel engine and the effects they have on the suspension set-up or possibly the fact the wagon was deliberately made to feel more diffident in character, you would need a Skoda engineer for reliable comment.

CES 2021 is now in full swing, with some cracking Day 2 announcements following a big wave of reveals from the likes of LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, Nvidia, AMD and many more. The tech show may be a virtual affair this year, but that certainly hasn't dimmed its enthusiasm for new TVs, laptops, drones, CPUs and smart home gadgets. So far, the biggest announcement of CES 2021 has arguably been the LG Rollable smartphone, which we caught our first glimpse of in a short teaser trailer. It's exciting to see the foldable tablet for the first time, but there have been some other strong contenders for the CES limelight. Looking for a powerful, ultraportable gaming laptop? Intel's announcement of its 11th generation Tiger Lake-H35 processors could soon spark a wave of the thinnest ones we've ever seen. Another landmark announcement was LG Display's confirmation that 42-inch OLED TVs will launch this year. We've been waiting for OLED tech to arrive in smaller screen sizes for a while, so this could be big news if you've been thinking about getting a second screen for your home this year. Keener to upgrade your home cinema audio? Samsung also announced a new Dolby Atmos soundbar, which could be its most immersive yet and pair nicely with its new flagship 8K TV, the Samsung Neo QN900 8K QLED TV. The tech giant also revealed some AI-powered washers and dryers for those of us who are unimpressed by the intelligence of our home appliances, and confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S21 will arrive on Thursday. With Sony also showing off its Airpeak drone for the first time and TCL confirming that it'll be launching a rollable or foldable phone this year, CES 2021 has been a brilliant sneak peek of the biggest launches coming this year – here are all of the most exciting stories so far.

Crowdfunding campaign rescues ancient Torii gate Fans of PS4 release Ghost of Tsushima have helped successfully raised the capital needed to repair a real-life landmark that features in Sucker Punch's period adventure title. A part of the ancient Watatsumi Shrine located on Tsushima island, the Torii gate was severely damaged by a typhoon beck in September 2020, and currently lies in a sad heap, half-submerged in sand and water. In efforts to rescue the landmark, a crowdfunding campaign was founded on Japanese website Camp-Fire, hoping to raise the money necessary to rescue, transport, restore, and then rebuild the gate, which stands as a tribute to Shinto sea goddess Toyotama-hime. As word of the fundraiser spread online, Ghost of Tsushima fans caught wind of the campaign began to offer their own donations toward the restoration project, with the crowdfunder closing out this past weekend at around ¥27 million, (or roughly $260,000 USD), five times that of the original goal. The founders of the project thanked the Ghost of Tsushima community for its generosity, and noted that some of the campaign's highest donors will be recorded on a nearby stone monument. Stories such as these are always the most pleasing to come out of gaming. As I've noted before, the medium is often lambasted for its negative aspects, but rarely heralded for its positive ones. Thanks in part to the generosity of video game fans, a small piece of history has been rescued from the brink of oblivion, and will allow the gates of Watatsumi Shrine to return to their former glory, standing proud for generations to come.

V2 - everything is amazing, text effects

The images come a few weeks after Honda first revealed a prototype version of the Civic saloon. That’s not expected to come to the UK this time, due to slow sales of the current saloon, but the five-door hatchback is expected to launch here in the second half of next year. The camouflaged prototype, registered and testing in Germany, sports a front-end look unsurprisingly identical to that of the saloon. However, it’s all change from the C-pillar back, where the Civic seems to have a fastback-style sloping roofline markedly different to that of the current model. The new car also appears to ditch the controversial spoiler that cut across and divided the rear screen in the past three generations in favour of a cleaner look. Slimmer tail-lights also feature, while the fake vents and diffuser of today’s Civic seem conspicuous by their absence. A teaser sketch of the saloon’s interior, which will be unchanged in the hatchback, shows a more minimalist design approach than today’s model, too. A one-piece air-vent strip runs across the length of the dashboard, while rotary climate control knobs show that Honda hasn’t fully ditched physical switchgear yet. Details of the new Civic’s mechanicals are scarce at this stage. What we do know is that Honda plans to electrify its mainstream line-up in Europe by 2022, and that means every Civic (except the 2022 Type R) will use a variant of the firm’s e:HEV petrol-electric powertrain. Found in the Jazz and CR-V, this declutches the petrol engine from the wheels in hybrid mode, using it as a generator for the electric motor, and reconnects it to a single-speed (not CVT) automatic gearbox only under higher loads. In the Jazz, it puts out 107bhp and 187lb ft combined, but expect that to increase substantially for the Civic. It's currently unclear where the new model will be built. Honda’s Swindon plant, which builds today’s Civic, will be closed later this year. Reports suggest production will return to Japan (the Civic saloon is also built in North America and Canada), allowing the UK to take advantage of its newly established trade deal with the country.

WARSAW (Reuters) - Scaling the world’s second-highest peak, K2, in winter is one of the last great feats in mountaineering -- and despite what some see as a lack of experience, 28-year-old Pole Magdalena Gorzkowska wants to be the first to do it. If Gorzkowska, a medal-winning runner who also became the youngest Polish woman ever to climb Mount Everest, makes it to the summit, she will have made history and silenced those who see her attempt as a social media stunt with no chance of success. “Everyone can have their opinion, and some believe that it takes many years to be able to face such challenges. I just do what I feel I can do,” Gorzkowska told Reuters by telephone from her base camp. “Why should I limit myself?” Gorzkowska is one of several mountaineers attempting this winter to scale K2, which at 8,611 metres (28,251 feet) is second only to Mount Everest. Gorzkowska, who is being accompanied by sherpas, said she had returned to her base camp, at an altitude of 5,000 metres, after an acclimatisation trip that saw her spend a night at a camp at 6,550 metres. “The conditions were very difficult. The mountain gives you a hard time, it is very demanding. You have to climb hard all the time, the wind is very strong. It is at least minus 30 degrees non-stop,” she said. K2, in the Karakorum mountains along the border between China and Pakistan, is notorious for its high winds, especially steep and icy slopes, and a high fatality rate among climbers. Eighty six climbers are reported to have died on its slopes. Two years ago a Polish team abandoned their attempt to reach the summit in winter due to heavy snow. The scale of the challenge has made some in the male-dominated world of Polish mountaineering regard her bid with scepticism.

Julian Assange will remain in jail as he continues to fight against extradition to the USA. District Judge Vanessa Baraitser said there were substantial grounds to believe he would abscond. On Monday, she ruled the Wikileaks founder cannot be extradited to the USA because he might kill himself. The USA is now appealing that decision - and had opposed releasing the 49-year-old from a maximum security prison before the case is heard. Mr Assange, who was wearing a dark suit and face mask, was not seen to react to the decision at Westminster Magistrates Court. He's been held in prison since 2019, after hiding for seven years inside the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid extradition. US prosecutors want to put him on trial for hacking and disclosing classified information - including the identities of informants who were helping intelligence agencies in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. Assange's US extradition blocked on health grounds How does the UK decide on Assange extradition? In her ruling, DJ Baraitser said Mr Assange still had the incentive to abscond. "He is willing to flout the order of this court," she said. "As a matter of fairness, the US must be allowed to challenge my decision and if Mr Assange absconds during this process they will lose the opportunity to do so." During the bail application, Mr Assange's barrister Ed Fitzgerald QC said his client had been offered a London home by a supporter, where he could be with his partner and their two young children - but also compelled to remain under the strictest bail conditions. "Your decision [on Monday] changes everything and it certainly changes any motive to abscond," said Mr Fitzgerald. "On any view... [Mr Assange] would be safer isolating with his family in the community, subject to severe restrictions, than if he were in Belmarsh which has, very recently, had a severe outbreak...(of coronavirus). He wishes to live a sheltered life with his family." But Clair Dobbin, for the USA, told the court Mr Assange had the "resources, abilities and the sheer wherewithal" to secretly arrange a flight to another country. "[Mr Assange] regards himself as above the law and no cost is too great, whether that cost be to himself or others," said the barrister. Julian Assange's partner, Stella Moris, was among a large group of his supporters who had gathered at court. "This a huge disappointment," she said. "Julian should not be in Belmarsh prison in the first place. I urge the [US] Department of Justice to drop the charges and the President of the United States to pardon Julian." District Judge Baraitser blocked Julian Assange's extradition on Monday, ruling that that while he had a case to answer, he was so mentally unwell that the US authorities could not guarantee he would not kill himself once inside a maximum security prison in the country. The USA's appeal against that ruling - which will go to more senior judges later this year - will challenge that finding.
