While some still believe in thermal power, other manufacturers have decided to make a 180 ° turn by eventually only offering electric models. Find out which ones. The trend has been towards electrification for a few years now, while standards are becoming increasingly tougher, forcing manufacturers to find more virtuous ways to power their vehicles. A trend which tends to increase over time, with a real turning point at the start of the year, with the implementation of CAFE regulations by the European Union. This has in fact set emission thresholds not to be exceeded for each of the manufacturers, based on the averages of their entire range. They then incur a heavy fine in the event of non-compliance with this new rule, like Volkswagen, forced to pay 140 million euros for having exceeded the threshold of 0.5 grams. Suffice to say that brands have every interest in getting into the nails, finding all possible means to reduce emissions, which inevitably involves the adoption of electric motors. A trend towards electrification which should accelerate in the years to come, while the National Assembly has voted to ban the sale of combustion vehicles by 2040. In other words, tomorrow While many brands have planned to continue selling petrol and diesel models as long as possible, some have chosen to devote themselves solely to electric, in order to save time and to put all the odds on their side. We can of course quote Tesla, which nevertheless remains an exception, since the brand already offered only zero-emission cars from its launch, which makes it a bit special. But there is no doubt that the Californian firm has somewhat pushed other brands to act, the latter still seeing it as a target to shoot down and a major competitor. But the manufacturer is not the only one to have been created with the aim of offering only electric models from the start, since we can also cite Rimac or Aiways, as well as Rivian and Lucid , which are talking about them for a few years now. Generalist and high-end brands While many manufacturers have decided to commit to offering at least one electrified version of each of their models in the years to come, like volvo, others have therefore decided to go even further and to totally ban thermal. Among them are Bentley , which announced earlier last year its vocation to become only electric on the Z030 horizon. This transformation will nevertheless take place in stages, with a first zero-emission model launched in 2025, while in 2026, each vehicle will have its electrified counterpart. But it was another manufacturer that also took us by surprise a few days ago, namely Jaguar. Its boss Thierry Bolloré, former CEO of Renault, has indeed announced that the entire range will become100% electric from 2025. However, no date has been given for the launch of the first model thus powered, while the electric xJ project has meanwhile been nipped in the bud. A few weeks ago, it was Luca de Meo who told us about the change at Alpine, during the Renaulution conference , announcing the group's future strategy. The former boss of Seat has indeed confirmed that the Dieppe firm will switch to electric, with the launch of three new models. In addition to a new coupe replacing the A110 and designed hand in hand with Lotus, we should also expect to discover a small crossover and a city car, both electric. Finally, Ford also wants to take this direction, since it plans to no longer offer any thermal vehicle by 2030, without even giving the plug- in hybrid a chance of survival.. In addition to its first model, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the blue oval firm will launch its first trendy vehicle designed in Europe in the course of 2023.

Dr. W. Scott Black, who is joining the Owensboro Health team, will offer a new service called lifestyle and sports medicine. According to OH, lifestyle medicine focuses on prevention, treatment and even reversal of diseases caused by lifestyle factors, specifically by educating and motivating patients to improve habits and behaviors such as eating habits and physical activity that might contribute to certain diseases. Black’s practice will be located in the Ford Medical Building at 2211 Mayfair Ave. “When I came out of residency and went into practice, it took me about three months or less to recognize that a lot of the common illnesses I would see were really more related to lifestyle,” Black said. Common illnesses that could benefit from lifestyle medicine, he said, are heart disease, diabetes and certain forms of cancer. Black said lifestyle medicine helps patients figure out how to take some control over their health issues and make positive changes to their lives with the assistance of a doctor. “People can make some small changes and really see a great deal of benefit from those and I hope to help them see that,” Black said. “I see physicians and other medical providers as sort of like health coaches. We try to help people get a better path. Any good coach does that and any good clinician does that.” While Black said lifestyle medicine is an important component in every community, Kentucky, specifically, is in the bottom 10 in the country in overall general health and the number one state for lung cancer rates at 53.5%. The number one cause of death in the U.S. is cardiovascular disease, the second cancer and lung disease is fourth. Black’s practice, he said, will specialize in sports medicine with a focus on lifestyle health. “It’s a great need in any community,” Black said. “If you look at the top five or six causes of death and disability in the United States, they’re all chronic diseases of one form or another. There are very effective things you can do in lifestyle medicine to correctly affect every one of those. So it’s an important component of medicine, not just in Owensboro, but anywhere.”

[Auto / Moto] Karma unveils its new GS-6 with range extender
DuCkyBhaI posted a topic in Auto / Moto
It was ten years ago. Fisker then launched its Karma electric sedan with a range extender system, which then had all the cards in hand to compete head-on with the Tesla Model S . Except that unlike the creation of Elon Musk, the American sedan ultimately did not have the expected success and disappeared in 2013, leaving the field open to Tesla. But while more and more manufacturers are entering the market to try their luck in the electrical field and thus try to grab customers from the Californian firm, the descendants of Fisker, Karma, also want to come back to the charge. . A desire that had materialized at the end of last year, with the revelation of the Karma GSe-6, a top-of-the-range 100% electric sedan, aiming to take revenge many years later. A few months later, here comes the production version, just unveiled and with a fairly promising technical sheet From the first glance, the family link with the old Fisker Karma is visible and undeniable, especially at the level of the very characteristic front end. Of course, the features have largely modernized since the launch of the original sedan in 2011, but the philosophy has not changed, both in terms of style and engine. Of course, the resemblance to the Karma Revero , which launched in 2017, is also more than striking, although the features of the latter are even closer to the Fisker Karma, although it has been slightly redesigned. by the brand's designers. The interior of the new electric sedan, meanwhile, is quite classic, if not almost a bit dated compared to what we might have expected. And for good reason, the presentation is almost identical to that of its inspirer, although some elements have nevertheless been modernized, including the steering wheel and the screen. Unsurprisingly, this new Karma GS-6 remains faithful to its predecessor, taking again an electric propulsion with a similar range extender. However, if the Fisker Karma had the right to a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder block, this newcomer will have to settle for a 1.5-liter three-cylinder. However, this is not designed to directly propel the wheels, since it is only used to power the two electric motors by serving as a generator when they need more energy. This is particularly the case in Sport mode, which then allows the car to display a total power of 543 horsepower.for a torque of 745 Nm, while the electric range is capped at 130 kilometers. In Sustain mode, it is nevertheless possible to travel up to 580 kilometers in electric mode, thanks to this technology, similar to the e-Power device of the new Nissan Qashqai unveiled a few days ago. For now, no release date has yet been announced for the Karma GS-6 in Europe, which should nevertheless arrive in the coming months. Displayed from around € 69,000 in the United States, it should probably display a similar price with us when it comes out. -

Shailene Woodley has confirmed that of her engagement to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Even though the admission of the news came from the couple now, they have been engaged for a while. During an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 29-year-old actress shared her thoughts. "But for us, it's not new news, you know, so it's kind of funny,” the actress said. "Everyone right now is freaking out over it and we're like, 'Yeah, we've been engaged for a while.'" The Fault In Our Stars actress joked about her engagement while registering her own shock as well by saying she never thought she would grow up to marry someone who "throws balls for a living". The couple met during the global pandemic and connected with each other during the lockdown. This has made them familiar with each other on a personal level but not on the professional fronts as Woodley admitted that she has yet to see her fiance in action. “I still have never been to a football game because we met during this wacky, wacky time and all the stadiums were closed that he was playing in. So, I have yet to go to a football game," she relayed. Woodley explained how she perceives her fiance as very different from how the world perceives him. “I don't know him as a football guy," Woodley continued. "I know him as like the nerd who wants to host Jeopardy! That's the dude I know. He just happens to be very good at sports." Meanwhile, a source close to the couple confided to PEOPLE regarding their fast-paced relationship. "They are very happy together," the source said. "It's not surprising he proposed so fast. When you know, you know, right?"

It is a real ritual, now essential at the beginning of each year. 2021 is obviously no exception, while our colleagues from Auto-Plus have just unveiled the ranking of the most stolen models in France in recent months. What if the Coronavirus epidemiccontributed significantly to slowing down thefts, however some 330 vehicles were stolen every day across the country over the past year. A figure down 13% compared to 2019, which is undoubtedly explained by the various health measures, between the two confinements and the long period of curfew which is still ongoing. The opportunities to steal cars are therefore fewer for thugs, while motorists go out less, therefore no longer leaving their vehicle in public parking lots. Nevertheless, it is always advisable to take precautions, especially if you are in possession of certain models particularly attracting lust We were already telling you about it a few months ago, the DS 7 Crossback is currently very po[CENSORED]r with thieves, to the point of reaching 1st place in the 2021 ranking. Rather surprisingly, the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, they are placed respectively in 15 and 31st position. Also beware if you are the proud owner of a Renault Mégane RS, a very tempting car for thieves, as is its rival, the Volkswagen Golf GTi . Sports cars are in fact highly sought after, especially German models, with the Audi S4 and RS 4 in particular. But overall, no category is spared, while this list includes models ranging from the Peugeot 208 the Range Rover Evoque via the Renault Laguna or the Fiat 500 X. To achieve this classification, our colleagues carried out a large-scale survey by contacting all the insurers, in order to obtain the data relating to the theft declarations and thus determine the risks. Very po[CENSORED]r mouse-jacking As our colleagues point out, key hacking, also known as mouse-jacking, is currently the most widespread method, while 75% of thieves use the latter. It is indeed very easy to equip yourself with a box allowing you to hack your vehicle and thus open and start it in the blink of an eye, without infringement. As pointed out by our colleagues, it would not take more than three short minutes for a thief to steal a car using this method, while some cars only require about thirty seconds. This is particularly the case with the DS 3 Crossback, which suffers from a faulty keyless entry system. But the main problem is still compensation for the victim, while most insurance companies refuse the latter if there is no trace of an offense. Worse yet, some companies even go so far as to ask their customers for a refund if there is no proof of the theft once the vehicle has been found. A real double penalty! If your vehicle appears on this list, or if you simply want to put the odds in your favor, there are several solutions. In particular, you can buy a specific anti mouse-jacking box, attached to your car's OBD socket . Also, remember to store your car key in a metal case or aluminum foil when you get home, as thieves can then use the key's signal even through the walls of your home. Finally, do not neglect the good old method of the steering wheel lock.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and Chubb Limited (NYSE: CB), through ESIS Inc., a Chubb company, signed an agreement on behalf of the COVAX Facility on 17 February 2021 for the administration of a no-fault compensation programme for the 92 low- and middle-income countries and economies eligible for support via the Gavi COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) of the COVAX Facility. As the first and only vaccine injury compensation mechanism operating on an international scale, the programme will offer eligible individuals in AMC-eligible countries and economies a fast, fair, robust and transparent process to receive compensation for rare but serious adverse events associated with COVAX-distributed vaccines until 30 June 2022. By providing a no-fault lump-sum compensation in full and final settlement of any claims, the COVAX programme aims to significantly reduce the need for recourse to the law courts, a potentially lengthy and costly process. ESIS, as the independent administrator of the programme, was selected in accordance with WHO’s procurement rules and procedures, and charges no fees to applicants. All vaccines procured or distributed through the COVAX Facility receive regulatory approval or an emergency use authorization to confirm their safety and efficacy. But, as with all medicines, even vaccines that are approved for general use may, in rare cases, cause serious adverse reactions. “The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has been matched by the largest ever rollout of new vaccines under the ACT-Accelerator and its vaccines pillar, COVAX. This no-fault compensation mechanism helps to ensure that people in AMC-eligible countries and economies can benefit from the cutting-edge science that has delivered COVID-19 vaccines in record time,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “We are pleased to be collaborating with Chubb, which has the capabilities to support the COVAX facility through its global network and claims handling ability. WHO’s agreement with Chubb offers further protection and confidence in the life-saving power of vaccines.” “The No-Fault Compensation fund is a massive boost for COVAX’s goal of equitable global access to vaccines: by providing a robust, transparent and independent mechanism to settle serious adverse events it helps those in countries who might have such effects, manufacturers to roll out vaccines to countries faster, and is a key benefit for lower-income governments procuring vaccines through the Gavi COVAX AMC,” said Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi. The COVAX no-fault compensation programme will be operationalized through its web portal (www.covaxclaims.com) by 31 March 2021, which will include resources such as the programme’s protocol, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and information on how to submit an application. Eligible individuals may apply for compensation under the programme once the portal becomes operational, even if a COVAX-distributed vaccine is administered to them before 31 March 2021. The programme is financed initially through Gavi COVAX AMC donor funding, calculated as a levy charged on all doses of COVID-19 vaccines distributed through the COVAX Facility to the AMC eligible economies until 30 June 2022. WHO is working with Chubb to secure insurance coverage for the programme with Chubb as lead insurer. “Chubb is proud and honoured to work with the World Health Organization and its partners on the critically important COVAX programme,” said Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb. “The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on people and economies around the globe, and the development and deployment of efficacious vaccines is a crucial step toward ending this crisis. However, a vaccination strategy is only as effective as the number of people it reaches, which is why the COVAX facility is so critical. Access to the protection offered by a vaccine should not be limited or restricted. All countries, regardless of income levels, should have equal access to these life-saving vaccines.” The delivery of COVID-19 vaccines during 2021 will be the fastest and largest global deployment of novel vaccines in history. The COVAX Facility aims, by the end of 2021, to deliver at least 2 billion doses of safe, effective and quality-assured vaccines to all participating countries, including at least 1.3 billion doses to the 92 AMC-eligible countries and economies, at the same time as wealthier nations. *** ABOUT the COVAX Facility The Gavi-administered COVAX Facility forms a key part of the COVAX pillar (COVAX) of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, a ground-breaking global collaboration to accelerate the development, production, and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines. COVAX is co-led by Gavi, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and WHO, working in partnership with developed and developing country vaccine manufacturers. ABOUT WHO The World Health Organization provides global leadership in public health within the United Nations system. Founded in 1948, WHO works with 194 Member States, across six regions and from 149 offices, to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable. Our goal for 2019-2023 is to ensure that a billion more people have universal health coverage, to protect a billion more people from health emergencies, and provide a further billion people with better health and wellbeing.

It is only a few months since the Citroën Ami was launched on the market, and already, the electric city car is talking about it for a series of technical problems.

If the firm prefers to speak of a " control and modernization campaign », It is nevertheless indeed a real recall procedure, as is the case for many other manufacturers, in order to resolve certain early problems, this time concerning all the units produced. since the launch of this Friend last May. Each car will therefore have to return to the workshop, the time for repairs which should last between three and four weeks, given the many problems to be solved The brand will therefore contact all the owners so that they can make an appointment to have various repairs carried out.

On 7 April 1926 an Irish woman stepped out from a crowd in Rome and fired a shot at one of the 20th century's most infamous dictators. One bullet grazed the nose of Benito Mussolini, but the Italian leader survived the assassination attempt. Among the many acts of individual bravery against fascism in Europe in the 20th century, Violet Gibson's has been largely lost to history. Of the four people who attempted to assassinate Il Duce, she came closest. Now, nearly a century later, moves to put up a plaque in Dublin are gathering pace. Her attempt on Mussolini's life came three years into his rule, as he was making a speech. She fired three shots before the gun jammed and was then attacked by Mussolini's supporters, and only saved by the police intervening and arresting her. After some time in an Italian prison, she was deported to England, something it is suspected might have happened to spare the embarrassment of a public trial in Italy. She was subsequently kept in St Andrew's Hospital, a mental asylum in Northampton, until her death in 1956. IMAGE COPYRIGHTITALIAN MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR/ PUBLIC DOMAIN image captionViolet Gibson came from a wealthy Anglo-Irish family in Dublin In the days following the attempted assassination, the President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State W.T. Cosgrave, wrote to Mussolini to congratulate him on his survival. Her story is made all the more unlikely the by the circumstances of her birth. The daughter of Anglo-Irish aristocrat Baron Ashbourne, Lord Chancellor of Ireland (the country's highest legal office at the time), she was a debutante in the court of Queen Victoria. Dublin City Council has now passed a motion which has given initial approval to put up a plaque dedicated to her in the city. The motion states the "committed anti-fascist" should be brought into "the public's eye and given her rightful place in the history of Irish women and in the rich history of the Irish nation and its people". "It suited both the British authorities and her family to have her seen as 'insane' rather than as political," the motion adds. 'For her bravery she suffered atrociously' Independent Dublin city councillor Mannix Flynn, who put forward the motion, said Violet Gibson was a person who "for some odd reason, the Irish establishment, and indeed the British establishment, have totally ignored". "Like most people, and particularly women, who have done extraordinary things they are always pushed into the background," he told BBC News NI. "If you look at World War One or World War Two, the women were right there with the men. "Here and there now we pull the odd thing out of the bag to give them their dues, but it is a rare thing." "For some strange reasons, Violet Gibson became some sort of an embarrassment, she got shunned, they tried to say she was insane to hide the shame." IMAGE COPYRIGHTGETTY IMAGES image captionBenito Mussolini ruled Italy from 1922 until 1943 Mr Flynn said Ms Gibson's family had given their support for the plaque and he expected the proposal to progress to its next committee stage in the coming weeks. He said while it would be dependent on securing permission of the building's owner, a likely site for the plaque would be her childhood home in the Merrion Square area of Dublin. Letters to Churchill In 2014, the story of Ms Gibson was brought to wider audience by a radio documentary broadcast by RTÉ, made by Siobhán Lynam, and drawing on the book 'The Woman Who Shot Mussolini', by Francis Stoner-Saunders. The documentary subsequently served as the basis of the film 'Violet Gibson, The Irish Woman Who Shot Mussolini', which was directed by Ms Lynam's husband Barrie Dowdall, and is currently being shown at film festivals internationally. "People would go on pilgrimages to try to kill Mussolini, and a woman, and a 50-year-old woman at that, she shot him at point blank range," said Ms Lynam. Mr Dowdall said a "key thing" in the story was a number of letters she wrote appealing for her release from St Andrew's Hospital to powerful society figures, including Princess Elizabeth - the present Queen - and Winston Churchill, who it is possible she spent time with when he was in Ireland as a child. Ms Lynam and Mr Dowdall were able to view the letters in Northampton, where they remained unsent to their intended recipients. "She was released [from Italy] on condition that she was locked up for the rest of her life," said Ms Lynam. As part of their research, the husband and wife team looked at archive materials in Italy, and said the largest collection of information on any of the individuals who attempted to assassinate Mussolini was held on Ms Gibson. "If this had been done by a man, there would probably be a statue or something put up. Because she was a woman, she was locked away. We are just so happy that we are able to tell a story and get it out there," said Mr Dowdall. He said the plaque was a good thing as it acknowledges Ms Gibson, and helped to bring her story to a wider audience. "Violet Gibson was someone who was very brave to do what she did, and between her and Benito Mussolini, and all the things he did, who was really mad?" Who was Benito Mussolini? Mussolini's National Fascist Party came to power in Italy in the aftermath of World War One, backed by armed groups known as blackshirts who intimidated opponents. The Fascists seized power in the early 1920s, dismantling democratic institutions, and Mussolini became Italy's dictator in 1925. He supported Gen Francisco Franco in Spain's civil war and backed Adolf Hitler in World War Two. Mussolini adopted some of Hitler's policies - notably the anti-Jewish laws of 1938 that stripped Italy's Jews of their civil rights. More than 7,500 Italian Jews died in the Holocaust.

C ' is a must ritual. Every year in January takes place the election of the most beautiful car of the ' year , rewarding as the name ' indicates the most successful aesthetically model. Starting in December, the public is invited to vote for their favorite model among those competing to elect his favorite, which then won the trophy at the party of ' opening of the International Automobile Festival , which marks the beginning of the automotive event season. For unlike other similar contests, the result depends only on the votes of users, not those of industry professionals, as c 'is particularly the case for the European trophy for the Car of the ' Year. However, candidates must meet several criteria, since ' in addition to being registered by the manufacturer, it is also that ' they have started their marketing during the ' year, while the price should be less than 60,000 € For this 2021 edition, five models were in the running for this prestigious award, won the ' Last year's surprise by the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe . The public, who could then vote on the dedicated website was to recall the choice between the Mazda MX-30, Honda E, Skoda Enyaq, the Mercedes GLA and ' Opel Mokka-e, all launched in recent months , as required by the regulations. This short list was nevertheless challenged the public and the press, for the ' ubiquitous SUV and electric models, since ' no sports model n ' is present in the rankings. In addition, also note the ' absence 'French car, except if ' taking into account the redemption of ' Opel PSA. Still, this n ' was not always so, as many traffic models have been awarded this trophy, as you can see in our slideshow above! C ' is in 1987 that ' is launched for the first time the contest of the most beautiful car of the ' year, the first edition was then won by the BMW 7 Series . The ' Germany is d ' elsewhere the ' one of the countries best represented among the winners of the competition, with 10 wins in total, against 13 for France. Our national candidates have indeed won over the public, with a first success in 1989, with the Citroën XM and then in 1992 with the Renault Safrane. Among the most emblematic victorious models, let us quote among others the Peugeot 206The BMW 3 Series, rewarded three times with several generations, or the ' Audi TT. For its part, the ' Italy also reached the top of the podium thanks to Alfa Romeo with the Brera, MiTo, 4C and more recently the Giulia. This year, the prize list is therefore completed by the Mercedes GLA, which then succeeds the Alpine A110, Peugeot 508 and other BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently announced they were expecting their second child. The news was released with a black and white portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in which Meghan lay on her husband’s lap in a garden, with her hand on her bump. Since the announcement, there has been much speculation over what the royals will name their child. Bookies traditionally bet upon a royal baby’s name and sex. People had earlier bet on Prince William and Kate’s children’s name, followed by Prince Harry and Meghan’s first child name and sex. This time too, bookmakers have already started ranking the odds on what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s second baby will be called. As per a list compiled by Betfair, an international online sports betting provider, the names Oliver and Diana have bagged the top positions, reported The Independent. This is followed by Arthur and Grace, Philip, Albert, George, and Isabella. “Having picked Archie – a name that wasn’t even on our list, for their first child – the odds suggest Meghan & Prince Harry could opt for a more traditional name for their second with Oliver and Diana the joint 8/1 favourites with Betfair,” Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom was quoted as saying. Betfair also reportedly found a 50/50 split on whether the new royal member will be a boy or a girl.
