Picture a mature, broad-branched tree like an oak, maple or fig. How does it reproduce so that its offspring don’t grow up in its shadow, fighting for light? The answer is seed dispersal. Plants have evolved many strategies for spreading their seeds away from the parent plant. Some produce seedlings that float on the wind. Others have fruits that actually explode, ejecting their seeds. And more than half of all plants rely on wildlife to disperse their seeds. This typically happens when animals eat fruits from plants or carry away their nuts, then excrete or drop the seeds somewhere else. In tropical rainforests, animals disperse the seeds of up to 90% of tree species. Today the Earth is losing species at a rapid rate, potentially representing the sixth mass extinction in its history. In a newly published study, we examine what this loss means for seed dispersal, focusing on birds and mammals that disperse fleshy-fruited plants. We assessed how seed dispersers help plants shift their geographic ranges to reach habitats newly suitable for growth – a crucial mechanism for surviving climate change. If not enough seeds disperse to track the environmental conditions like temperature and precipitation that plants require, the plants could be stuck in settings where they will struggle to survive. This could lead to losses of plant species, along with the valuable products and services they provide, ranging from food to carbon storage. A new era for plant movement Animals have been dispersing seeds for millions of years, but the relationships between plants and their seed dispersers have changed dramatically in our modern era. Berries in California are no longer eaten by grizzly bears, which disappeared from the state a century ago. On the island of Madagascar, seeds no longer travel in the bellies of gorilla-sized lemurs, which went extinct there about 2,300 years ago. In France, seeds don’t catch a ride on the fur of lions or between the toes of rhinos that once lived there, as shown in prehistoric cave paintings. When animals disperse seeds today, their movement is often hampered by roads, farms or built-up areas. For most animal-dispersed plants – especially those with large seeds, which require large animals like tapirs, elephants and hornbills to spread them – these changes mean a big reduction in seed dispersal, and a great slowdown of plant movement. Research by our team and work by many colleagues have uncovered the negative ecological consequences that occur when seed dispersers disappear. Now researchers are assessing how seed dispersal decline is affecting plants’ responses to climate change. Quantifying what’s been lost Only a small fraction of the thousands of seed disperser species and tens of thousands of animal-dispersed plant species have been studied directly. Many seed disperser species are extinct or so rare that they can’t be studied at all. To overcome this challenge, we pulled together data from published studies showing which bird and mammal seed dispersers eat which fruits, how far they spread the seeds, and how their digestive systems’ effects on the seeds help or hinder germination. These three steps together describe what’s required for successful seed dispersal: A seed must be removed from the mother plant, travel some distance away from it and survive to become a seedling. Next, we used machine learning to generate predictions for seed dispersal, based on the traits of each species. For example, data on a medium-sized thrush in North America could help us model how a medium-sized thrush species from Asia dispersed seeds, even if the Asian species wasn’t studied directly. Using our trained model, we could estimate seed dispersal by every bird and mammal species – even rare or extinct species for which there isn’t any species-specific data on the seed dispersal process. The last step was to compare current seed dispersal to what would be happening if extinctions and species range contractions hadn’t happened. For fleshy-fruited plants, we estimate that because of bird and mammal losses, 60% fewer seeds are being dispersed far enough worldwide to keep pace with climate change by shifting locations. Further, we estimate that if currently endangered seed disperser species such as bonobos, savanna elephants and helmeted hornbills became extinct, global seed dispersal would decline by an additional 15%. The impact of past seed disperser declines has been greatest in areas including North America, Europe and the southern part of South America. Future losses of endangered species would have their most severe impacts in areas including Southeast Asia and Madagascar. With fewer seed dispersers present, fewer seeds will be moved far enough to enable plants to adapt to climate change by shifting their ranges. Seed dispersers help sustain forests Seed dispersal also helps forests and other natural ecosystems recover from disturbances like wildfire and deforestation. This means that mammals and birds play a major role in sustaining natural vegetation. Most forest recovery around the world happens through seed dispersal and natural forest regrowth rather than via people planting trees. Seed dispersal by animals is especially important for tropical forests, which can grow back relatively quickly after they are logged or burned. Seed dispersers also promote biodiversity by helping to ensure that a large number of plant species can survive and thrive. Ecosystems that contain many plant species with diverse genetic makeups are better equipped to handle uncertain futures, and to sustain the ecosystem functions that humans rely on, such as storing carbon, producing food and timber, filtering water and controlling floods and erosion. There are ways to increase seed dispersal. Making sure patches of similar habitats are connected helps species move among them. Restoring po[CENSORED]tions of important seed dispersers, ranging from toucans to bears to elephants, will also help. And global models of seed dispersal like ours can help scientists and land managers think about seed dispersers as a nature-based solution for addressing climate change. https://www.eco-business.com/opinion/with-fewer-animals-to-spread-their-seeds-plants-could-have-trouble-adapting-to-climate-change/

According to a new report, Honda could be planning a big surprise with the next-generation Civic Type R hot hatch: an automatic transmission option. As we know, Honda previously confirmed the fresh Civic Type R would come standard with a six-speed manual, but Best Car Web now claims “a six-speed paddle-shift AT [automatic transmission] is also expected”. Needless to say, that’s big news for the front-wheel-drive Civic Type R, which has had its appeal limited to three-pedal fans since its first generation in 1997. It’s not clear what type of six-speed automatic the Japanese publication is referring to, but it could be the ‘H6’ torque-converter unit from some variants of North America’s Pilot large SUV, which would put the Civic Type R on a collision course with the seven-speed Ford Focus ST. Alternatively, Honda may have developed a new six-speed dual-clutch automatic that would not only be befitting of the Civic Type R’s performance bent, but also help it better rival the eight-speed Hyundai i30 N and seven-speed Volkswagen Golf GTI. With the Civic Type R’s reveal expected mid-year ahead of Australian release date in late 2022, we won’t have to wait too long to find out if it will, indeed, have a wider customer base, so stay tuned. Also of interest will be what’s under the Civic Type R’s bonnet, with Best Car Web tipping it will forgo the rumoured electrification route for a ‘carryover’ 2.0-litre turbo-petrol VTEC four-cylinder engine. This unit currently outputs 228kW or 235kW of power, depending on the market, and 400Nm of torque. But for the Civic Type R’s next generation, these figures could rise, or Honda may instead achieve higher performance by reducing weight and increasing rigidity. Either way, the Civic Type R’s exterior will be more conservatively designed than before, as indicated by the lightly camouflaged prototype Honda unveiled last October. That said, there’s still triple exhaust tailpipes and an unavoidably large rear wing spoiler. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/cars/news/new-honda-civic-type-r-to-get-auto-option/ar-AAT4t2L

Not only can cold, dry winter air be problematic for your skin, it can cause some unwanted changes to your hair and scalp as well. This means that we may have to shift our haircare routines in order to protect it more throughout the season. And part of that is avoiding certain treatments and styling techniques that can cause additional damage to your hair. Here’s what to know. What happens to your hair during the winter? When the temperatures drop outside, and the air is dry inside—plus having static electricity, harsh water treatment chemicals, and hat hair (i.e. friction) to contend with—you may notice that your hair and scalp feel different than they did in warmer weather. “You should treat your hair like a cashmere sweater,” says dermatologist Dr. Wilma Bergfeld of the Cleveland Clinic. “Remember, hair is a fiber.” And although every person’s hair is different, she says it’s important to treat it gently this season—especially those with fragile, damaged, or fine hair. What to avoid doing to your hair during the winter Instead of focusing on finding products to fix the issues that come with winter hair, doctors like Bergfeld and Dr. Jeff Donovan, a Vancouver-based certified dermatologist, recommend staying away from certain treatments and techniques during the cold weather, including the following: Styling that involves heat “The first rule of thumb is to limit how often you beat [your hair] up by scorching it with an iron, overheating it with a dryer, or using a caustic chemical on it,” Bergfeld explains. More specifically, Donovan recommends limiting use of a flat iron, hair dryer, and/or curling iron to a few days a week, and when you absolutely must use them, making sure your hair is 70 percent dry before styling. Wearing an unlined hat That frizzy, staticky ‘do known as “hat hair” is the result of wool, cotton, or other coarse fabrics rubbing against strands of hair and absorbing moisture, Donovan explains. People with curly or wavy hair are particularly prone to hat hair, which can potentially cause breakage, so he recommends wearing hats with a silk or satin lining, or using a scarf as shield. Coloring and bleaching Although some hair coloring substances and methods are safer for your hair than others, Bergfeld says that your best bet is avoiding coloring your hair during the winter months. That’s because in order to remove your hair’s pigment, color treatments have to penetrate the strands of hair strands, breaking down essential fatty acids and proteins. This is the case all year, but it takes longer for your hair to recover from the process in the winter. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/lifestyle/beauty/everything-you-shouldn-t-do-to-your-hair-during-the-winter/ar-AAT3Xsw

The United Arab Emirates has just banned the flying of drones from the country after the latest incidents happened in the country; using drones was allowed, but after the latest attack, UAE has decided to ban drones. What are the charges against using drones? Anyone who uses drones will be charged with legal liabilities jail up to 1 year and a fine up to 50,000 if they were caught using this electric aircraft; however, they might grant an exemption to businesses using it for filming purposes; this is still not decided yet. Many people use drones for youtube videos for content creation; however, even that is banned until further notice. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/national/say-goodbye-to-using-drones-in-uae-with-new-suspension/ar-AAT3Di3

There’s a growing refusal by some groups to acknowledge the ongoing global extinction crisis being driven by human actions, conservation scientists say. Biodiversity scientists are being urged to “fight the creeping rise of extinction denial” that has spread from fringe blogs to influential media outlets and even into a US Congressional hearing. The call to arms came in a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution last month by Alexander Lees, senior lecturer in conservation biology at Manchester Metropolitan University, and colleagues. “Many of the same individuals that routinely seek to downplay the impacts of climate change have written articles understating the biodiversity loss crisis,” Lees says. “Denialists have sought to obfuscate the magnitude of both extinctions and loss of bio-abundance.” What are the nine boundaries humanity must respect to keep the planet habitable? The paper describes and debunks three types of extinction denial. The first, “literal denial,” argues that extinction is largely a historical problem. Arguments like this, such as contained in this article claiming that “the onset of further wildlife extinctions seems far-fetched,” ignore the conservatism of biologists in declaring extinctions, as well as actual evidence of recent extinctions and of the widespread po[CENSORED]tion declines that suggest many more future losses are on the way, the authors write. They point out, for example, that denialists have long stated that the Atlantic Forest in Brazil has suffered no extinctions despite having shrunk in area by 90 per cent. Yet two bird species were declared extinct there in 2019, and seven more are down to their last few individuals or have not been seen for a decade or longer. “The problem is most of the losses are not the big ‘exciting’ species but smaller and less charismatic ones in areas that lost the big exciting things years ago,” Lees says. “We are now reaching critical loss of habitat for many species in the tropics in places like the Philippines and eastern Brazil. It is in these places that the next wave of extinctions is taking place.” Lees and colleagues also discuss “interpretive denial,” which acknowledges the loss of biodiversity but argues that economic growth alone will fix it. One example is a 2019 Washington Examiner article, “How capitalism will save endangered species.” We are now reaching critical loss of habitat for many species in the tropics in places like the Philippines and eastern Brazil. It is in these places that the next wave of extinctions is taking place. The third form of denial is “implicatory,” arguing for example that technological fixes and targeted conservation interventions — rather than comprehensive changes to socioeconomic systems — will overcome extinction. The authors write that these two forms of denial may use evidence from temperate ecosystems to make inappropriate claims about reduced impacts in the tropics, where habitat loss is accelerating and species are far more sensitive to change. “The land sparing and abandonment we have seen in the temperate zone has come about because we have outsourced environmental harm elsewhere,” Lees says. “These include countries lauded for their domestic environmental success. For example, Japan is still heavily forested but has plundered rainforests elsewhere for timber. Norway fuels forest loss in Amazonia for soybean to feed fish and cattle. Most people remain ignorant of these global teleconnections and their impacts on biodiversity.” Dawn of denial Extinction denial came to the fore in May last year, when the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) published its Global Assessment. The report said a million species were at risk of extinction, and it outlined steps for “transformative change” to secure nature’s contributions to human well-being. Commentators such as Toby Young in The Spectator disputed the findings or attacked the reputations and methods of the report’s authors, leading one of them, Andy Purvis of the Natural History Museum in London, to write a lengthy rebuttal. More attacks came at the US Congress in a hearing called by the House Natural Resources Committee to discuss the IPBES findings. Republican representatives and their invited witnesses — both climate change skeptics — were vitriolic in their scorn for the report and its authors. Anne Larigauderie, executive secretary of IPBES, says the attacks did not come as a surprise, adding that the Global Assessment had itself stated that “transformative change can expect opposition from those with interests vested in the status quo.” In an email interview, she told Mongabay, “Anyone who has followed the history of major science-policy issues, such as the smoking/tobacco/public health debates, and the more recent issues around human-induced climate change, is critically aware of the often well-funded and coordinated opposition to expert evidence that arises, especially from those who perceive that they stand to lose the most should policy be changed on the basis of such evidence.” More denial due this week “Any attempts to take the global economy in a more sustainable direction will be undermined by some stakeholders seeking to maintain the status quo,” Lees says. “So, I would be surprised if we do not see attempts to undermine the work of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).” On Sept. 15, the CBD will launch its Global Biodiversity Outlook 5 (GBO-5). The report is set to feed into intergovernmental negotiations toward a global biodiversity framework, to be agreed next year in China, reinforcing calls for transformative change. Larigauderie says denialism in relation to the GBO-5 “seems likely,” as the report draws heavily on the IPBES findings. But she says she doubts denialists will derail ambition in the CBD negotiations toward a new global agreement. “The actual traction of such denialism remains limited,” she says. “A much greater threat to ambition for the post-2020 biodiversity framework would be a failure to connect the loss of biodiversity to the other major global development challenges such as food security, human health, production and consumption patterns.” https://www.eco-business.com/news/extinction-denial-is-the-latest-anti-science-conspiracy-theory-biologists-warn/

Some 300 owners are reportedly involved in protests about how Mercedes is handling the potential motor failure. According to a recent post by CnEVPost out of Shanghai, China, at least 68 owners of the Mercedes-Benz EQC electric crossover have joined forces to send a message to Daimler. The group says it's requesting that Mercedes reply to a statement it delivered related to the EQC's "faulty electric motor." The joint statement explains that these owners were advised to have their EQC's motor and/or "power battery" replaced following "at least one" motor failure. The group expects Mercedes to announce that the problem exists and shed light on it. More specifically, the automaker should disclose the defects publically and issue an official recall. Despite the group's "68 EQC owners," information has been tossed around by owners on social media, as well as the local media in China. Some 300 owners have been involved in protests over the issue and how Mercedes has handled it thus far. Moreover, people in the group have shared that over 150 people have already reported issues. Based on the CnEVPort article, most impacted owners noticed a vehicle reminder asking them to refill coolant. Impacted owners explained that the reminder typically came about one to two months before the EQC's potential motor failure, and owners also noticed a notable decrease in coolant. Mercedes-Benz dealerships in China have added coolant in an attempt to solve the problem. However, according to local reports, the additional coolant can enter the EQC's motor and cause a failure to start. In addition, the EQC's touch screen may issue a "fault" warning. New EQC owners in China are paying a premium for the electric SUV due in part to the fact that it's produced by Mercedes. However, it's problems like these that may be working to tarnish the iconic brand as it moves toward electrification. The brand, as part of its joint venture with BAIC Motor, already recalled nearly 800 EQC vehicles in China for an unrelated problem. Mercedes sold over 6,000 EQC models in China in 2021, with sales of over 800 in December 2021. CnEVPost points out that NIO delivered 10,489 EVs in China in December 2021 alone. Meanwhile, during the same month, Tesla delivered a whopping 70,000 EVs in the country. See These Related Articles About The Mercedes-Benz EQC: It's important to note, EV customers in China have gone to bat in protest against Tesla in the past. Many of their claims were later found to be exaggerated. Hopefully, we'll have more information about this potential issue with the EQC in the near future, especially if a recall is issued. However, for the time being, it's important to take all information with a grain of salt, at least until Mercedes-Benz provides some sort of public response. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/other/mercedes-benz-eqc-owners-in-china-report-motor-problems/ar-AAT0ZPI

Despite the classic excuse of not having a “green thumb,” keeping a houseplant alive has more to do with the ability to make and remember to stick to a schedule than being born without a pretend gene that makes you good at gardening. (And if you have a literal green thumb, you may want to have a medical profession look at it.) But some houseplants are definitely easier to care for than others, and people who travel a lot, or find it difficult to remember to water their plants may want to opt for varieties that are more self-sufficient. And when it comes to being low maintenance, it’s hard to beat air plants. Still, they’re not completely hands-off and do require some occasional care. Here’s what to know. What is an air plant? Officially called Tillandsias, there are more than 600 types of air plants. And while they’re native to the southern parts to the United States and through Central and South America, it’s possible to grow air plants indoors in any climate. And yes, they got their name because they don’t need soil to grow. Air plants are epiphytes, “which means they use their roots to cling onto supports such as tree branches and rocks, similar to the way orchids grow,” according to the Farmer’s Almanac. “Instead of soaking up water and nutrients through their roots, they use trichomes, special scale-like structures on their leaves, to do the job.” How to take care of an air plant First of all, never plant an air plant in soil, or put one in a terrarium. Instead, pop them into a cup or bowl or vase, and place them somewhere that gets between four and six hours of filtered natural light each day. Also, make sure the temperature is between the 50s and 90s (which shouldn’t be difficult indoors). Air plants need to be soaked—not watered in the traditional sense—once every two weeks. To do this, take the plant out of its usual home and submerge it in a bowl of either rainwater or bottled drinking water (softened and/or tap water contains minerals that can harm the air plants) for about an hour. After its bath, shake the plant out to remove as much of the water as possible (so it doesn’t rot when it goes back into its usual pot or vase). If an air plant’s leaves start turning brown, it means that it needs to be watered more frequently. And if any of the leaves die completely, cut them off with a pair of sharp scissors. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/lifestyle/home-and-garden/how-to-take-care-of-air-plants/ar-AASQ0cF

According to the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), the deployment of 5G networks in the UAE has had no negative impact on air navigation systems. The authority that the recent issues linked to flights suspension is exclusively related to the relevant US airports. "There is no disruption or interference in the UAE between 5G networks and air navigation systems," the TDRA said in a statement on Thursday. It added that 5G stations have been installed in multiple places in the UAE for many years without causing any disruption. The TDRA also said that its 5G rollout plans are based on studies that take into account the safety of frequencies and potential impact on other sectors. The UAE telecom regulator’s statement comes after many airlines suspended flights to the US, due to the rollout of C-Band 5G service which could interfere with sensitive aeroplane instruments. But telecom operators AT&T and Verizon later announced that they would delay the deployment of 5G services at US airports. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/national/uae-5g-does-not-disrupt-air-navigation/ar-AASZSSD

The loss of birds and mammals has reduced the ability of animal-dispersed plant species to shift their locations to keep pace with climate change by 60 per cent, according to new research. Northern Mockingbirds eating winter berries. They eat mainly insects in summer but switch to eating mostly fruit in fall and winter. Image: Matt MacGillivray, CC BY 2.0. Liz Kimbrough, Mongabay.com Jan. 20, 2022 Animals that eat fruit and spread the seeds in their droppings offer an all-inclusive transportation service for half the world’s flora. But as more seed-dispersing birds and mammals die off globally, some of these plant species will lose their ability to shift their locations to keep pace with escalating climate change, according to new research. “Headlines about the biodiversity crisis call it the sixth mass extinction, and that decline of birds and mammals also means the decline of seed dispersers,” Evan Fricke, lead author of the new study, recently published in Science, told Mongabay. FOOD & AGRICULTURE With fewer animals to spread their seeds, plants could have trouble adapting to climate change Read now Fricke and his colleagues reported that the loss of birds and mammals has reduced the ability of animal-dispersed plants to track climate change by 60 per cent. This number is somewhere in the “alarm bell territory”, Fricke told Mongabay. “I hope [this finding] focuses people’s attention on the importance of seed-disperser biodiversity for plant adaptation to climate change.” “If there are no animals available to eat their fruits or carry away their nuts, animal-dispersed plants are not moving very far,” Fricke said in a press release. As the climate warms, many species will need to change locations to stay within a temperature range that they can tolerate. On a mountain, this might mean them moving upslope by just a few to tens of meters per year. On flatter terrain, organisms need to move toward the poles, perhaps hundreds of kilometres, to keep pace with climate change. The speed at which suitable climate zones move across the landscape (also known as the climate change velocity) is faster, and therefore more challenging now, for plants to track on flat land. While animals can crawl, fly, swim or walk to new places, plants cannot pick up and move. So the question, Fricke said, becomes: “How many seeds disperse at least that distance that the climate has shifted during the year? How many seeds are dispersed far enough to keep pace with that climate change?” In the past, scientists have studied what the loss of seed-dispersing animals means for plants in ecosystems, and they have also studied how plant po[CENSORED]tions respond to climate change. But combining those two catastrophes — climate change and mass extinction — on a global scale has been a tougher nut to crack. A cinnamon black bear eating hawthorn berries. Image: Diana Robinson, CC BY 2.0. To accomplish this goal, the researchers used data from hundreds of past studies to train a machine-learning model to make estimates and conclusions about the loss of seed-dispersal services. The far-ranging data sets analysed and compared IUCN data on worldwide animal po[CENSORED]tions; which seeds are dispersed by which animals; where and how far these animals travel; and how long seeds take to pass through the guts of their dispersers. The researchers found that seed-dispersal losses are most extreme in the temperate regions of North America, Europe, South America and Australia. Extinction of the world’s current endangered species would most impact dispersal in tropical regions in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. “This paper is an elegant analysis of how the loss of animals will affect plants under climate change scenarios,” Mauro Galetti, a seed-dispersal researcher from the University of Miami told Mongabay. “The results are worrisome because most natural ecosystems’ large fruit-eating animals are vanishing.” The scientists also found that even just a small decline in the number of animal species leads to a massive decline in plants’ ability to track climate change. “One might expect that if a location loses 10 per cent of its seed-dispersing animals, we would see a 10 per cent decline in dispersal,” Fricke said, “but this is not the case.” When animals die off in an ecosystem, we’re often first losing the large ones — those that are the best at long-distance dispersal, he said. “We found regions where climate-tracking seed dispersal declined by 95 per cent, even though they had lost only a few percent of their mammal and bird species,” Fricke said. “From elephants and gorillas in Africa, to toucans and tapirs in South America, large seed dispersers are vanishing rapidly and their dismissal will have strong consequences on seed dispersal,” Galetti said. “Many plants will be trapped in space without seed dispersers.” This first global analysis of the loss of seed-dispersers, according to Fricke, demonstrates the critical interconnectedness of the climate change and biodiversity crises — two of the nine planetary boundaries identified by scientists. The destabilisation and overshoot of one or more of these boundaries due to human interference could cause the failure of critical Earth operating systems. “Biodiversity of seed-dispersing animals is key for the climate resilience of plants, which includes their ability to continue storing carbon and feeding people,” Fricke said. “Extinction and habitat loss damage complex ecological networks. This study shows animal declines can disrupt ecological networks in ways that threaten the climate resilience of entire ecosystems that people rely upon.” https://www.eco-business.com/news/as-animals-vanish-the-plants-they-spread-cant-keep-up-with-climate-change/?fbclid=IwAR1eeswiG3FuJfFCZZuNimflhWItfmGqwlx3WMznZWpJ-x9clnwcJvjMT5A

Hero MotoCorp is ramping up its electrification initiatives. One of India's leading motorcycle manufacturers, Hero MotoCorp, has stated that sustainability and emerging mobility are two of its top priorities. In fact, the company is drastically boosting its efforts to expand its footprint in India's electric vehicle market. Having said that, it's evident that Hero is searching for a bigger foothold in the electric transportation industry. On January 14, 2021, Hero MotoCorp announced new investments in Ather Energy, in keeping with its ambition to "Be the Future of Mobility." Hero MotoCorp's board of directors has approved a new investment in the Bengaluru-based electric vehicle company worth roughly $56 million USD. Hero MotoCorp had a 34.8 percent stake in Ather Energy prior to the proposed investment. You may recognize Ather Energy as the manufacturer of the 450X, one of India's best-selling electric scooters. In 2016, Hero MotoCorp engaged in Ather as a strategic partner for the first time. This marks the fifth time Hero MotoCorp is investing in Ather Energy.

Although Hero Motocorp—not to be confused with Hero Electric, which is a whole other entity on its own—has not entered the electric vehicle market with a machine of its own, it has made strategic partnerships with other EV manufacturers such as Ather Energy and up and coming Taiwanese electric scooter maker Gogoro. In March 2021, Hero MotoCorp plans to unveil its first electric vehicle, which is being developed at the Center of Innovation and Technology (CIT) situated in Jaipur, as well as the Tech Center in Munich, Germany. Hero MotoCorp's upcoming electric scooter will be constructed at the company's production facility in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, in southern India. While we briefly mentioned Hero Electric earlier, it's worth noting that Hero MotoCorp and Hero Electric are undergoing legal proceedings concerning the use of the 'Hero' brand name on electric scooters and motorcycles. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/other/hero-motocorp-invests-dollar56-million-in-ather-energy/ar-AASVVCl

Have you ever tried getting rid of an old tree stump only to be left, well, stumped? (Sorry, sorry.) There’s no shortage of reasons to get rid of that pesky stump, whether you’re making way for new trees to grow, or you want to avoid trip hazards in your yard. Luckily, there’s also no shortage of solutions for you to get the job done. The best method to get rid of a tree stump depends on your timeline. Left alone, most stumps will take years to naturally rot and decompose. There are several home remedies that will accelerate that timeline to a few weeks or months. If you need to remove it immediately, there are more physical options to kill that stump for good. Below we detail a bunch of methods, so you can choose the right one for you and your stump. If you have time, try these home remedies Epsom salt This is a great solution if you’re seeking a slower, natural approach to getting rid of a tree stump. Epsom salt contains magnesium and sulfur, which are beneficial to plants but deadly in large quantities. The goal here is to overdose the stump with Epsom salt, which will suck the moisture out of it and accelerate its full decay (which, again, can take several years on its own). Grab a power drill and follow these steps to use Epsom salt to kill a tree stump: Drill several holes in the stump, each one about an inch wide. Make each hole go as deep as you can. Pour Epsom salt directly into the drilled holes, filling them to the top. Add enough water to the holes to moisten the salt. Do it slowly so that the salt doesn’t overflow. For good measure, cover the stump with a tarp to keep the rain from diluting the Epsom salt too much. Repeat this process every few weeks to ensure its success. When done right, the stump will die within two to three months. Here’s a fun tree fact to keep in mind going forward: Pale wood typically still has life left, while dark and brittle wood is dead. Rock Salt This method is similar to the Epsom salt approach, with some slight variations: Like with the Epsom salt steps, drill holes into the stump and then pack them with rock salt. Spread a generous amount of rock salt atop the stump and all along the ground around the stump. After all of the holes are packed and the stump is covered in salt, pour soil and mulch over the stump. Then, pour water over the mulch and surrounding area. Really water the salt into the soil until you don’t see any crystals remaining. This will dissolve the salt, help the roots absorb the solution, and pack the soil. Finally, apply another band of salt on the ground around the stump in order to fully kill the roots. Keep watering the stump every few days for one to two months to keep the stump moist with the saltwater solution. If you see fungi start to grow, that’s a good sign, since they’re there to help with decomposition. Note for these salt approaches: As roots break down, small sinkholes and other soft spots can develop around the tree stump you salted. Fill in these holes with additional soil to prevent injuries that could occur if someone tripped in one of these holes. Boiling Water If your home isn’t overflowing with salt, never fear: Boiling hot water can shock a stump’s root system to severely damage and eventually kill it. Dig around the stump in order to expose as much of the root system as you can. Drill holes into the roots and on top of the stump, so the hot water can have as much access as possible. Pour boiling water to kill the root system. Once the stump and roots are dead, the natural decomposition process can begin. Plastic Bag or Tarp The simplest strategy: Condemn your tree stump to darkness. If you’re looking for low-effort, and don’t mind waiting for nature to do its thing, here’s how to kill a tree stump with a plastic bag or tarp: The smaller the stump, the faster this process will work. Start off by cutting the stump as close to the roots as possible with a chainsaw, hatchet, or handsaw. Cover the stump with a black trash bag or tarp. Weigh the bag down with heavy rocks or bricks. If the stump is small enough, you can try covering it with a dark-colored bucket or container. Rotting should start to take place in two to three months. If you need a quick fix, try these methods While we recommend the home remedies above for a gentler death, here are some options if you need to get rid of that stump ASAP. Digging This method allows you to remove as many tree roots as possible and ensure that the stump doesn’t continue to grow. Plus, it’s going to be quite the workout for whoever is doing the digging. To save time and effort, and to reduce the risk of damage to your yard, you might want to hire a professional for this job. Otherwise, here’s how to dig out a stump with basic hand tools: Begin by loosening the soil around it with the mattock, if you have one. Dig around the stump, exposing as many roots as possible. Chop through roots as they get exposed. Use a chainsaw, hatchet, or handsaw to cut the larger roots. Continue working downward and inward from all sides toward the core of the stump. Once you’ve dug out and cut all of the roots around the stump, you should have enough leverage to lift and remove the stump from the ground, roots and all. Note: This process can take multiple hours of labor, depending on the size of the tree stump and its root system. Burning Compared to digging, burning out the stump doesn’t tackle the roots below soil level. Then again, this method requires much less physical labor and will suffice to get rid of the above-ground issue. Some fire precautions before embarking on your burning journey: Consult your local fire department for any information about burning advisories in your area before attempting this solution. Always clear the area of flammable materials and trip hazards within at least a 20 foot radius of the stump. Extend a working garden hose that can quickly extinguish any flames outside the designated area. Plan to be around the entire time that the stump is burning, which could take a day or longer, depending on the size, type of wood, moisture content, weather conditions, and many other variables. If burning is the method for you, the key is not to try and set the stump itself ablaze right off the bat, but to build a fire over and around the stump. Here’s how to go about it: Optional: You can make the stump more flammable by drilling holes into it and filling them with potassium nitrate. Do not simply douse the stump with flammable liquids; the liquid tends to burn off without actually igniting the stump. The dangers outweigh the benefits. Build a fire over the exposed top of the stump. Construct a pyramid-like structure over the stump using scrap wood, or simply put the scrap wood on top of the tree stump and set it aflame. Add more wood to keep the fire going as necessary. To accelerate the process, improve airflow by digging soil away from the base of the stump. Monitor the stump until all the wood has been reduced to ash. When you’re done burning the stump, place the ash and burned pieces in a fire-safe container or bucket. Grinding This is the go-to method if you have the right tools. If you don’t have a grinder machine, this approach is so quick and effective, it might be worth hiring a tree removal professional (typical prices for this job are around $100–$400). Stump grinder machine rental costs typically fall between $80 and $150 for a four-hour window. If you have a grinder machine, use it as instructed to chip away at the wood and cut any roots that are connected to the stump. Remember to clear the area of any obstacles, like rocks, or children. Another reminder for the grinder approach: Use the Call Before You Dig hotline, 8-1-1 so that any underground gas, electricity, water, and communication line locations will be flagged so you can avoid them. This process can take anywhere from two to six hours depending on the size of the stump. With this method and all the above, once you’ve removed the tree stump, you’ll want to add topsoil or mulch in and around the area. Final reminders: What not to use to kill a tree stump Bleach: Applying the high concentration needed to kill a tree stump would potentially expose adjacent grass, shrubs, and perennials to toxic levels of chlorine, and significantly raise soil pH. Diesel: Adding flammable liquid to the process won’t provide the long, steady burn required to eliminate the stump. Instead, you risk a fire situation that is not effective, but is still dangerous. Motor oil: Same deal as diesel. Plus, a quart of motor oil costs about the same as the Spectracide Stump Killer, which is a tested and proven product for exactly this purpose. Instead of resorting to those items above, turn to po[CENSORED]r herbicide brands (like Spectracide) for designated tree stump removal products. And as we said at the top, you can always use natural solutions like Epsom or rock salt. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/lifestyle/home-and-garden/how-to-kill-an-old-tree-stump-in-your-yard/ar-AASW75Q

Sri Lanka’s central bank hiked interest rates Thursday in a bid to tame rampant inflation and discourage consumer spending as the country suffers a foreign currency shortage and teeters on the brink of default. The island nation of around 22 million has seen shortages of food and fuel as well as electricity rationing, with rating agencies warning it might not be able to meet repayments on its debts. Inflation hit a record 12.1 percent last month. The central bank raised the benchmark deposit and lending rates by 50 basis points each to 5.5 percent and 6.5 percent respectively. The hike was the first since August. It said in a statement that the higher borrowing costs would encourage savings and discourage consumption, thereby reducing demand for imports at a time when the country’s foreign reserves were under pressure. The island’s tourism sector and worker remittances, the government’s main sources of income (and) have been battered by the pandemic. “Inflationary pressures on the domestic front continued to be fuelled by supply-side disruptions, upward adjustments to administered domestic prices,” the bank said in a statement. It said the economy grew 4.0 percent last year, having suffered a record 3.6 percent contraction in 2020. Colombo insists it will honour it obligations on its $35 billon in external debt. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/world/crisis-hit-sri-lanka-hikes-interest-rates-in-bid-to-tame-inflation/ar-AASXxGW

Fossils of extra large millipedes have been discovered in the north of England for the first time by scientists. The arthropods, known for having two pairs of jointed legs on their body, were found on Northumberland beach around 64 km from Newcastle. The study describes the remains “as big as cars”, estimating that they must date back to the Carboniferous Period - 326 million years ago. The giant fossil, called Arthropleura, is the largest-known invertebrate animal of all time, even bigger than the ancient sea scorpions that previously held the record. According to scientists at the University of Cambridge, the segment found is about 75 centimetres long. The original creature is supposed to have measured around 2.7 metres long and weighed around 50 kilograms. The results were reported in the Journal of the Geological Society. "It was a complete fluke of a discovery," says Dr Neil Davies from Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences and the paper's lead author. "The way the boulder had fallen, it had cracked open and perfectly exposed the fossil, which one of our former PhD students happened to spot when walking by." Dr Neil Davies Unlike the cool and wet weather associated with the region today, Northumberland had a more tropical climate in the Carboniferous Period, when Great Britain lay near the Equator. Invertebrates and early amphibians lived off this vegetation around a series of creeks and rivers. The fossil was extracted in May 2018 with permission from Natural England and the landowners, the Howick Estate. "It was an incredibly exciting find, but the fossil is so large it took four of us to carry it up the cliff face," said Davies. The Arthropleura fossil at on a beach in Northumberland.Neil Davies It was then brought back to Cambridge so that it could be examined in detail and compared with all previous records - revealing new information about the animal's habitat and evolution. "Finding these giant millipede fossils is rare, because once they died, their bodies tend to disarticulate, so it's likely that the fossil is a moulted carapace that the animal shed as it grew," says Davies. "We have not yet found a fossilised head, so it's difficult to know everything about them,” he concludes. How did the millipedes get to be so large? The size of Arthropleura has previously been attributed to a peak in atmospheric oxygen during the late Carboniferous and Permian periods. The new fossil comes from rocks deposited before this peak, showing that oxygen levels cannot be the only explanation. The researchers believe that to get to such a large size, Arthropleura must have had a high-nutrient diet. The exo-skeleton dates back 326 million years to the Carboniferous Period.Neil Davies "While we can't know for sure what they ate, there were plenty of nutritious nuts and seeds available in the leaf litter at the time, and [there] may even have been predators that fed off other invertebrates and even small vertebrates such as amphibians," adds Davies. The cause of this species’ extinction is uncertain, but experts say it could be due to global warming which made the climate too dry for them to survive. Another possible explanation is the rise in reptiles, who out-competed them for food and soon dominated the same habitats. The fossil will go on public display at Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences in early 2022. https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/01/10/giant-millipedes-as-big-as-cars-once-roamed-the-uk-experts-find

Despite the classic excuse of not having a “green thumb,” keeping a houseplant alive has more to do with the ability to make and remember to stick to a schedule than being born without a pretend gene that makes you good at gardening. (And if you have a literal green thumb, you may want to have a medical profession look at it.) But some houseplants are definitely easier to care for than others, and people who travel a lot, or find it difficult to remember to water their plants may want to opt for varieties that are more self-sufficient. And when it comes to being low maintenance, it’s hard to beat air plants. Still, they’re not completely hands-off and do require some occasional care. Here’s what to know. What is an air plant? Officially called Tillandsias, there are more than 600 types of air plants. And while they’re native to the southern parts to the United States and through Central and South America, it’s possible to grow air plants indoors in any climate. And yes, they got their name because they don’t need soil to grow. Air plants are epiphytes, “which means they use their roots to cling onto supports such as tree branches and rocks, similar to the way orchids grow,” according to the Farmer’s Almanac. “Instead of soaking up water and nutrients through their roots, they use trichomes, special scale-like structures on their leaves, to do the job.” How to take care of an air plant First of all, never plant an air plant in soil, or put one in a terrarium. Instead, pop them into a cup or bowl or vase, and place them somewhere that gets between four and six hours of filtered natural light each day. Also, make sure the temperature is between the 50s and 90s (which shouldn’t be difficult indoors). Air plants need to be soaked—not watered in the traditional sense—once every two weeks. To do this, take the plant out of its usual home and submerge it in a bowl of either rainwater or bottled drinking water (softened and/or tap water contains minerals that can harm the air plants) for about an hour. After its bath, shake the plant out to remove as much of the water as possible (so it doesn’t rot when it goes back into its usual pot or vase). If an air plant’s leaves start turning brown, it means that it needs to be watered more frequently. And if any of the leaves die completely, cut them off with a pair of sharp scissors. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/lifestyle/home-and-garden/how-to-take-care-of-air-plants/ar-AASQ0cF

US Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has tested positive for Covid-19 and “is experiencing very minor symptoms”, the Pentagon said on Monday. “Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Mark A Milley is working remotely and isolating himself from contact with others after a positive Covid-19 test [on Sunday]," Pentagon spokesman Dave Butler said in a statement. He added that Gen Milley has been fully vaccinated and has also received a booster. Gen Milley’s last contact with US President Joe Biden was on Wednesday, January 12, at Gen Raymond Odierno’s funeral, the statement said. “He tested negative several days prior to and every day following contact with the president until yesterday,” Mr Butler said. Shortly after Gen Milley's announcement, the US Marine Corps said that its commandant, Gen David Berger, has also tested positive for Covid-19. "The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen David Berger, has tested positive for Covid-19," the statement read. "The performance of his duties will remain unaffected," it added. The news comes two weeks after US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin contracted Covid-19. The Pentagon reduced its in-office workforce this month following a spike in Omicron cases. Last August, the Pentagon issued a Covid-19 vaccine mandate for all service members or face punitive measures. But a federal judge this month barred the Department from punishing a group of Navy SEALs and other special forces members who refused the vaccine on religious grounds. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/world/us-joint-chiefs-chairman-gen-mark-milley-tests-positive-for-covid-19/ar-AASRYlD

Amidst seemingly constant news that more and more species are going extinct, it’s always exciting when experts discover new species, or rediscover an animal from a species that hasn’t been spotted in decades (or even centuries). It can also be a thrill when someone spots an animal from an incredibly rare species that humans have only seen a few times in the past. There are sure to be a number of new species in 2022, so every time one is spotted this year, we’ll keep updating this article. The small longhead darter fish In early January 2022, the Ohio Division of Wildlife (OWD) shared a Facebook post, finally revealing that fish management crews had discovered a small longhead darter fish this past fall. The species, which is originally from Ohio, was considered extirpated (locally extinct), and no one had reported spotting or capturing one in over 80 years, since 1939. But now, it’s clear that the species is not actually extinct in Ohio. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the longhead darter currently has po[CENSORED]tions in Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and now, Ohio, even though it is threatened in each of those states. Should you ever be on the lookout, typically, the longhead darter is olive-yellow in color with square markings on the back, is about 4.5-5 inches long, and has a narrow head, as per the DEC. Blanket octopus In January 2022, marine biologist Jacinta Shackleton was delighted to experience a rare sighting of a seriously beautiful sea creature called the blanket octopus off the coast of the Great Barrier Reef, as reported by The Guardian. She shared a video and photos on her Instagram of the young female blanket octopus, a species that is known for its luminous, rainbow-esque appearance. Interestingly, females can grow up to 6 feet long, while males are typically less than 1 inch in length, according to National Geographic. Shackleton told The Guardian that previously, biologists have only recorded seeing about three other blanket octopi near the Great Barrier Reef, as the animals are known for their full lifecycles occurring in the open ocean, far from the coast. In fact, the first live male blanket octopus was only observed in 2002. And in July 2021, another female blanket octopus was spotted in Florida. https://www.greenmatters.com/p/new-species-2022

We’re closing in on it being two years since we first saw the next-generation Mercedes GLC, with early speculation hinting it’d debut for the 2022 model year. It’s still not here and likely won’t debut until later this year, but a new batch of spy shots did capture the crossover cold-weather testing once again, but this time it’s the AMG 63 trim. The AMG GLC 63 stands out from the standard GLC test vehicle with its wider stance, Panamericana grille, large wheels, and beefy brakes, even if the finder details are hiding under a layer of camouflage. The real tell is at the rear, where the quad exhaust pipes sit. The GLC looks a tad larger than the model it’s replacing. Inside, the next-gen GLC will get the latest Mercedes interior, which will include more screens and tech. The GLC shares a lot with the C-Class, including the interior with a large infotainment screen positioned low on the dashboard. Previous spy shots revealed much of it, though Mercedes did hide the dash, doors, and center console The new GLC will also get a big change under the hood where a 2.0-liter plug-in hybrid powertrain will propel the performance-focused AMG model. Mercedes will use its M139 turbocharged 2.0-liter and an electric motor that could produce around 634 horsepower (480 kilowatts). That’d be a sizable increase over the 469-hp (349-kW), current-generation GLC that has a twin-turbo V8 between the fenders. Mercedes might also alter the model’s name alongside the new powertrain. Our spy photographers heard a rumor that the company is considering naming all hybrid AMG 63 models 63e. That’d mean we would get a GLC 63e, with the top trim model being the GLC 63 S E Performance, which is a mouthful. The next-generation Mercedes GLC is set to debut sometime this year and possibly go on sale in some markets before 2023 begins. The AMG variants could debut late in the year, but we don’t expect them to launch alongside the non-AMG next-gen GLC model, and they could arrive in 2023. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/cars/news/mercedes-amg-glc-spied-winter-testing-might-be-called-the-63e/ar-AASNhUN

What happens when you mix Loewe designer Jonathan Anderson – known for his love of uplifting joyfulness – with a key ingredient of Japanese anime? Answer: the charming Loewe x Spirited Away collaboration. The Spanish luxury fashion house has teamed up with Studio Ghibli for a second time, now taking inspiration from the anime film Spirited Away. %7B© Provided by The National Loewe X Spirited Away collection has launched in a pop-up in Dubai. Photo: Juergen Teller for Loewe First launched last year as Loewe x My Neighbour Totoro, which sold out in record time, the tie-up has returned with another round of ready-to-wear, bags and small leather goods all scattered with the familiar figures from the 2001 anime film Spirited Away In the notes accompanying the new collection, Anderson describes the film as being “an ode to loyalty, friendship, and stubbornness in the face of adversity", and calls it "magical”. He is not alone in that view, with the film bagging the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards in 2003. It is this same sense of magic that Anderson has brought to a collection, now on show at a pop-up in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates. The range is decorated with the film's main characters, Chihiro, Haku, Fly-Bird and the sorceress Yubaba, as well as Kaonashi, the spirit with no face, and the Susuwatari soot sprites. Described by Loewe as being a "wearable movie" the collection features intarsia knitted wraps covered with scenes from the film, sweatshirts with patchwork faces and knitted cardigans with woollen soot sprites sprouting in 3D. The famous leather know-how of Loewe is bolstered with characters embroidered on to canvas panels and made into bags, and as intricately appliqued purses and wallets. Best of all, the sprites – the small quirky Susuwatari – swarm over everything, as fluffy black pom-poms, with big, googly eyes. %7B© Provided by The National The Loewe X Spirited Away collaboration. Photo: Juergen Teller for Loewe For Japanese aficionados, there are even patchwork coats that call on the "boro" technique of taking discarded fabric and mended scraps – now dyed in a rich, saturated indigo blue – to make loose fitting jackets, while the rest of the clothes are also roomy, to give the characters space to shine. Jeans, puffer jackets, hats, oversized jumpers and even blankets are all shown in a pop-up setting that echoes a traditional Japanese ornate bridge and the inside of a subway train. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/lifestyle/other/loewe-and-studio-ghibli-launch-second-anime-inspired-collection-in-dubai/ar-AASwDlT

Tenants of a tower in Dubai Marina are back in their apartments after a . Dorra Bay tower was evacuated for safety in the early morning of January 5, when the roof of the parking lot reportedly collapsed due to a water pipe explosion, as residents were told. No injuries were reported. The tower’s tenants were relocated to different hotels nearby for about five days until the building was deemed safe to return to. The parking lot is still closed and residents have been requested to park their cars in nearby paid slots. A tenant, who requested to remain anonymous, told that the higher management has recommended parking spaces in the area that cost up to Dh700 to Dh800 a month. There is no information yet about when the construction work in the parking basement is expected to be completed. “We can see that work is being carried out at the parking basement. Metal poles have been put in place to hold the ceiling up, but no parking spaces are being provided for us.” The tenant added: "We are requested to rent spots in the area, but the prices may be troublesome for those who have two cars.” Tenants said they are yet to receive official updates about the construction progress, expected completion and safety measures being implemented by the developer. The tower’s higher management had covered the expenses of the hotel stay and breakfast during the evacuation period. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/national/uae-dubai-marina-tower-tenants-back-home-after-parking-lot-floor-collapsed-10-days-ago/ar-AASO5DS

Dozens of ostriches have fled an ostrich farm in Chongzhou, southern China, and made an unprecedented march that caught the attention of residents in the city center. British TV channel CGTN said the culprit was the ostrich farm's barn gate, which had not been closed properly. As a result, the giant birds escaped to roam the city. About 80 ostriches participated in the march. The large birds with long legs and an impressive weight, usually up to 100 kilograms, were caught with the help of police officers. Of course, not all escaped birds were caught, the agency said. People were surprised by the sudden infestation of ostriches in Chongzhou, and the townspeople started shooting videos, where one can see how the birds are traveling at tremendous speed on the asphalt, without any obstacles in their way such as cars, poles and trees. Fortunately, none of the townspeople were hurt. https://arabic.rt.com/funny/1313059-مسيرة-قطيع-النعام-مدينة-صينية/

Whether you're driving a Mazda MX-5 or a BMW 7 Series, the only thing on your mind is "What's the next thing going on?" Admittedly, this concern is less pronounced in some cars than in others. In an effort to combat this anxiety, a new startup has created a product concept that claims to tell you about a potential error before it happens. Pinkie is a new OBD2 connector that claims to use smart technology such as artificial intelligence with digital twins, a virtual representation that presents itself as a real-time digital counterpart to an object or process located in the physical world. Using this device, founders looking for investors via Indiegogo suggest that car owners will be able to foresee potential failure via notifications and alerts provided by the system. These readings will be sent to users via the mobile application. How is this different from current technologies you might ask? It is clear that the proposed product will be significantly superior to OBD2 scanners that can only detect the error after it has occurred. Pinkie conducts continuous system scans and gives owners a clear idea of what maintenance is required and when it should occur. Furthermore, the creators explained that OBD2 sensors are for experts in the field and fetch codes that require additional time to gather some understanding of the error at hand. To make it easier for the user, the device provides easy explanations and intuitive 3D graphics as to what is going to happen in your car. As for the environmental awareness, the creators also insist that the device provides continuous monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions. With this attachment, you'll know just how much of an impact it's having on the environment when the Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates to the 9000 rpm mark. https://www.msn.com/ar-ae/autos/news/أداة-جديدة-يمكن-أن-تتنبأ-بالعطل-قبل-حدوثه-فيديو/ar-AASEyo2#image=1
