S’il y a quelques années encore, l’influence d’un constructeur automobile se mesurait uniquement au nombre de ventes ainsi qu’aux retours de la presse spécialisée, les choses ont très nettement évoqué en peu de temps. Désormais, c’est sur Internet et plus particulièrement sur les réseaux sociaux que tout se joue, alors que les marques totalisent plus de 140 millions d’abonnés sur ces canaux, que ce soit Facebook, Twitter ou encore Instagram. Autant dire que ces sites revêtent une importance capitale pour les constructeurs, qui investissent de plus en plus dans leur communication dans ce domaine, alors que leur stratégie peut-être déterminante pour leur image, et donc pour leurs ventes. L’agence de conseil en stratégie de contenus Ultramedia s’est donc intéressée à cette nouvelle forme de communication, et a établi comme en 2020 un baromètre de l’influence, classant les différentes marques selon plusieurs critères. Parmi eux, le pouvoir relationnel, c’est à dire la proximité avec la communauté, le pouvoir d’engagement, c’est à dire la capacité à faire réagir et enfin le pouvoir d’expression, qui se traduit concrètement par la place que prend une marque sur les réseaux sociaux. L’agence française a donc étudié plus de 51 marques, tous secteurs confondus, les triant alors ensuite en différentes catégories, que ce soit l’agro-alimentaire, l’assurance, l’industrie pharmaceutique ou encore l’automobile. C’est évidemment cette dernière qui nous intéresse aujourd’hui, d’autant plus que l’année passée aura été très particulière pour ce domaine, touché par la crise sanitaire mais également plombé par les normes et restrictions en tout genre. Cela n’aura néanmoins pas empêché certaines marques de s’illustrer, à l’image de Renault, qui prend la tête du classement avec 86 points sur 100 faisant alors passer Peugeot à la 2ème place. Cumulant pas moins de 20 millions d’abonnés sur ses différents réseaux, la firme au losange n’a pourtant pas battu des records en termes de publications, avec un nombre de post en baisse de 62 %. En réalité, selon l’agence, Renault a beaucoup fait parler mais pas forcément en bien, puisque c’est notamment l’affaire Carlos Ghosn et les différents mouvements sociaux qui ont mis la marque sur le devant de la scène. Citroën en baisse, BMW au top Toujours du côté des Français, Peugeot et Citroën ont quant à eux perdu un peu en influence, et cela s’expliquerait par une raison simple partagée par les deux marques : des contenus trop autocentrés, visant une communauté captive, déjà propriétaire ou au moins passionnée par l’un ou l’autre des deux constructeurs. Comme le souligne par exemple Ultramedia au sujet de la marque aux chevrons « ses raisons sont à chercher du côté de sa ligne éditoriale, particulièrement axée sur la « culture Citroën » et donc destinée à un public d’afficionados – voire de nostalgiques – comme avec sa série de podcasts « Génération Citroën ». Une audience captive, qui atteint peut-être aujourd’hui son plafond de croissance ». En revanche, c’est BMW qui s’illustre de son côté, et ce « sans ligne éditoriale particulièrement originale » comme le relève l’agence. Se plaçant en 3ème position ex-aeq uo avec Citroën, la firme bavaroise a notamment profité du lancement de modèles phares pour faire parler d’elle, tirant notamment partie de « fuites » volontaires. Par ailleurs, Ultramedia souligne qu’ « en mettant l’accent sur le design, le style et l’innovation dans ses publications, BMW joue sur la corde sensible chez les amateurs ». Cela fonctionne, puisque la marque a triplé son taux d’engagement en un an !

n a statement issued on the stroke of the Lunar New Year, the administration said an investigation found BBC World News’ China-related reports had “seriously violated” regulations, including that news should be “truthful and fair,” had harmed China’s national interests and undermined national unity. The channel therefore does not meet requirements for foreign channels broadcasting in China and its application to air for another year will not be accepted, it added. China’s move was condemned by British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, while the BBC said it was “disappointed”. “China’s decision to ban BBC World News in mainland China is an unacceptable curtailing of media freedom,” Raab said. “China has some of the most severe restrictions on media and internet freedoms across the globe, and this latest step will only damage China’s reputation in the eyes of the world.” English-language BBC World News is not included in most TV channel packages in China but is available in some hotels and residences. Two Reuters journalists in China said the channel had gone blank on their screens. “We are disappointed that the Chinese authorities have decided to take this course of action,” the BBC said. “The BBC is the world’s most trusted international news broadcaster and reports on stories from around the world fairly, impartially and without fear or favour.” On Feb. 4, British media regulator Ofcom revoked China Global Television Network’s (CGTN) licence to broadcast in the United Kingdom after an investigation found the licence was wrongfully held by Star China Media Ltd. China criticised the ruling as politicised and warned it reserved the right to make a “necessary response”.

e are in the feasibility study, so we are already far ahead. We are talking about the construction of flying cars, a project that Volkswagen confirmed through the CEO in China, Herbert Diess. This is not science fiction, given that Airspeeder is also preparing a vertical take-off vehicle for FCA and KleinVision that with a button is thinking of going from the road to the sky, or Airbus and Volocopter or Lilium which aims to create its own first plant near Orlando, Florida. Furthermore, according to the investment bank Morgan Stanley, it is a business that is around 1.5 trillion dollars by 2050. For this Stephan Woellenstein declared: “After autonomous driving, the next step will be vertical mobility. To approach the future we are evaluating the technical possibilities of the Chinese market with the aim of starting the production of new vehicles ”. It is no coincidence that the German giant is thinking of starting from China, given that that is the largest and most prosperous car market in the world and so far the most profitable for Volkswagen.

Facebook says it is "horrified" at the continued online abuse of footballers and has announced what is says are tougher measures to tackle the issue. The social media platform is changing the rules governing direct messaging on Instagram, a platform it also owns. It will disable the accounts of those found to have repeatedly sent abusive private messages on Instagram. UK head of content policy Fadzai Madzingira said it was "saddening" to see continued abuse on the platforms. Madzingira told BBC Sport: "I'm horrified at the type of abuse that people, especially these footballers, have to deal with on the basis of who they are, whether it's their race or their religion or their gender, and as a company, we're disappointed to see that sort of behaviour that plays out offline also playing out on our platform. "It's why we're making the announcements today about taking tougher measures to go after accounts that are violating our community standards and our goals within Instagram direct messages." A number of Premier League footballers - including Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Axel Tuanzebe, West Brom's Romaine Sawyers and Chelsea full-back Reece James - have been subjected to abusive online messages in recent weeks. The Football Association has called for action from the government, which has since stated social media companies could face "large fines" potentially amounting to "billions of pounds" if they fail to tackle abuse on their platforms. Asked by BBC sports editor Dan Roan whether Facebook was enabling such abuse, Madzingira said: "No, to imply that it's about enabling I think would be inaccurate. "I think that platforms like ours allow communities of people to connect on the things that they love. If we need to have a conversation about hate, it really needs to be not what is just happening on the platform." What will change on Instagram? Footballers past and present have called for users of social media platforms to be required to provide verification documents when creating accounts so that they can be traced more effectively if they breach rules. Facebook says this measure would prove challenging in communities where such documents would not be readily available. "If we were to insist on using government ID or passport details we would be barring access to the very people who use our platforms to build communities, so we are very conscious we allow for that access," added Madzingira. The company claims it "took action" on 6.5 million pieces of hate speech on Instagram between July and September last year, including within direct messages which are harder to police because of privacy rules. "To date, if someone violated the rules in Instagram direct messages, we would set a specific ban or a block for a certain amount of time and extend that period, should they continue to violate," Madzingira explained. "Today we're announcing that we will now be removing those accounts, should they continue to violate within Instagram direct messaging." Facebook said it would not spell out how many offences would trigger removal as offenders could use the information to "game the system". 'We are a small part in fixing this' Facebook said it was "doing everything we can to fight hate and racism on our platform" but added the "problems are bigger than us". Some users have sought a ban on specific emojis commonly used in racist messages but Madzingira argued against banning symbols that could be used innocently in other contexts. She also said filters could be used to prevent others from leaving offensive comments on posts, and that work was also being done to prevent banned users from opening new accounts. Asked whether Facebook has prioritised profits over clamping down on abuse, Madzingira said: "I think that would be an inaccurate assessment. "Because if people didn't feel safe on the platform they wouldn't be able to be there. "We accept that being able to deal with this issue is everyone's responsibility and we want to play our part. The frustration that these players have is right - it is horrifying the abuse they are receiving." 'The police need more help from social media platforms' Bristol Rovers full-back Mark Little - the target of a racist message on social media that is being investigated by police - said he was surprised that those in charge of the platforms were only reacting now. He said: "I welcome that they're making a change but it's quite confusing for me, as what they have announced is what I assumed was happening before. "They've jumped to a standard rather than getting anywhere near what I would think would be acceptable for what is going on." Little, 32, added that "a big corporation like Facebook should be able to set the precedent for what is going on in wider society" and that "the police need more help from the social media platforms". He added: "I don't think it would be that difficult to identify the people who are doing this. "Everyone should have some form of identification to use these platforms and I think that would eradicate a very large portion of the abuse." 'More has to be done to stamp out abuse' Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden welcomed the tougher measures but insisted "racist abuse is still a fact of life for too many people and more has to be done across the board to stamp it out". He added: "For too long, the world's most po[CENSORED]r and powerful social media companies have failed to tackle the stream of horrific racist attacks on their platforms. "We're introducing a new age of accountability for these companies through our upcoming Online Safety Bill and this could see huge fines for firms which fail to clearly and transparently protect their users."

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan will be leading a high level delegation on his first visit abroad this year, when he leaves for Sri Lanka at the end of this month. While the visit, during the pandemic, has been doing the rounds in the Sri Lankan and Indian media, it has been all quiet at the Foreign Office. “I can confirm that the visit is taking place and a curtain raiser will be issued closer to the visit”, a senior official told The News when asked for details. Media reports speak of PM Imran arriving in Colombo on February 22 for a two-day visit, where foreign media reported from Colombo on Tuesday that Sri Lankan law makers confirmed that the prime minister would also address the Sri Lankan Parliament. Pakistan’s High Commissioner in Sri Lanka, General (R) Saad Khattak, speaking to the media in Colombo about the visit, confirmed it but gave very few details. PM Imran will be meeting with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, say officials in Colombo familiar with the visit. President Rajapaska is familiar with Pakistan where he attended courses in military training institutions. Both countries have for decades enjoyed a broad-based relationship on trade, commerce, culture and defense matters. Pakistan armed forces in 2009 had supported Sri Lanka by providing high tech military equipment and intelligence support in its fight against the LTTE. At that time Pakistan stood out when many world capitals had imposed embargoes on Sri Lanka. Khan’s visit comes at a time when Sri Lanka has taken its relations with China several notches higher.

er la Ferrari Purosangue è arrivato il momento dei test. I nostri fotografi hanno immortalato un muletto del primo SUV del Cavallino Rampante, il cui debutto è previsto all'inizio del 2022. Lo sport utility all'esordio sarà equipaggiato con un V12 da oltre 800 CV, per poi essere disponibile anche in una variante ibrida, con V8. Se Ferrari pianifica la prima Rossa 100% elettrica entro il 2030, la Purosangue dovrebbe restare ibrida, anche se l'architettura del SUV è pensata per accomodare anche l'elettrico puro. La proposta da parte di Ferrari in gamma di un SUV ibrido plug-in potrebbe essere molto allettante per la clientela di lusso più attenta all'ambiente. In ogni caso, quello che vediamo sul muletto non è il design definitivo di Purosangue, visto che il prototipo è ancora basato sulla "cugina" Maserati Levante. Il modello di produzione di serie dovrebbe essere più simile a una shooting brake con assetto rialzato. Pur rientrando nella categoria dei SUV di lusso, Purosangue potrebbe avere un'indole più sportiva rispetto alla Lamborghini Urus, alla Bentley Bentayga e alla Aston Martin DBX, con un occhio di riguardo alla dinamica di guida. Nel 2018, Sergio Marchionne disse che Purosangue sarebbe stato il SUV più veloce del mondo. Obiettivo sfidante, ma certamente non fuori dalla portata per la Ferrari.

Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has warned against writing off Gareth Bale despite his struggles at Tottenham this season. Bale, 31, rejoined Spurs on a season-long loan from Real Madrid in the summer but has been a peripheral figure under Jose Mourinho, playing 231 minutes in the Premier League Coleman, his manager with the Wales national team between 2012 and 2017, feels Bale is struggling to get into rhythm due to his lack of consistent playing time but still expects the forward to bounce back. "He's been out for a long time and he's finding it hard to get back in and get his rhythm," Coleman said on Monday Night Football "We all know what a world-class player he is. He can win a game, he can score a goal from nothing, he's got a last pass. "But when I'm watching him now it looks like he's always on his first game back after an injury. Obviously, we expected him to be in the flow of it by now but he clearly isn't. "He's only 31 so I wouldn't write him off. I don't know what's happened at Tottenham but knowing Gareth, he's a very serious boy about his football and he loves playing football. "I've heard comments that maybe he'll be happy to be on the bench. He won't be happy on the bench - not the Gareth Bale that I know. "He will very much want to be in the heart of it and if he's not quite there yet, he's either not ready physically or maybe mentally there's a lack of confidence." Bale, who fell out of favour at Real Madrid before his return to Spurs, has been accused of lacking desire by some but Coleman has no doubts about his professionalism and determination. Coleman said: "Whatever game plan I had, he would want to know about that. We would have meetings and he was very vocal. He would like to understand what the plan was and what everybody's role was. "I can't talk about what he's like at Madrid or Tottenham, I can only say what he was like with Wales and as a person. "He's really serious about his football and he doesn't want to be treated any differently. He was right in the middle of it with everybody. Even when he wasn't fit, he was there, in amongst it." Asked if Bale is a player who needs an arm around the shoulder from his manager, Coleman said: "I think most players need love. "Maybe it is a confidence thing. You have to remember the Premier League is tougher than La Liga, week-in, week-out. The intensity is different, the physicality is different. "Maybe he hasn't found that yet. Maybe if he had two, three or four games, we would see something different. "But he's not getting that because he's obviously not back at the level where we expected him to be."

New Delhi: Being healthy and staying fit are on this list of goals for everyone - no matter who they are and where they live. People often associate all their health troubles to the lifestyle they follow. Whether it is waking up in time, eating healthily, exercising regularly, or the habits we have - all are a part of the lifestyle we lead. However, people often confuse various health phenomenons - for instance, some people believe that being skinny is healthy - whereas being underweight, or unusually skinny can be both a cause and effect of an underlying health condition. "Physical fitness is simply our body’s ability to complete physical work. This can include cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and muscular endurance etc. Usually, people who maintain a good level of fitness are lean, maintain normal body weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. But, this may not always be true, as exceptions are there," says Dr Biju K S, Senior Medical Officer at Vieroots Wellness Solutions, even as he shares more insights on the link between fitness, and lifestyle. Can your level of fitness bespeak your lifestyle? The word ‘Lifestyle’ has broad meaning as it incorporates elements of health, finance, culture, environment etc. Considering the aspect of health, it is fair to say that, the better level of fitness of a po[CENSORED]tion is directly related to a good lifestyle of the po[CENSORED]tion. Since ‘fitness’ is a measurable indicator of health, generally we can say, the more fit you are the healthier you are. The physical fitness assessment of a person can help a healthcare professional to understand about his lifestyle, which in turn helps to advise regarding what changes the person needs to make in his lifestyle to become more fit and healthy. Here also there are exceptions, that one may seem ‘fit’ in his external appearance, but internally he may not be ‘healthy’. Pointing to the case of Sourav Ganguly, even a fit person can also easily get into lifestyle diseases. This was not an isolated incident. It is happening to a lot of common people around us, and since they are not celebrities these incidents go unnoticed. Thus it is high time to analyse your level of ‘fitness’ with the help of a competent professional and using highly advanced tools. We all know, lifestyle diseases are the number one killer, when it comes to death due to diseases. The ultimate solution for these diseases is nothing but changing the lifestyle itself. As a part of adopting a healthy lifestyle, embracing a fitness regime and supplementing the nutrients which are lacking in food are some of the methods adopted by people nowadays. The flipside is, some used to lead unhealthy lifestyles (smoking, eating a lot of junk foods) and to overcome its ill effects, they indulge in various quick-fix fitness programs and overload themselves with dietary supplements, which is absurd. But in general, people who give importance to fitness and find time for it knows the importance of a healthy lifestyle and follow it. Dietary supplements and your lifestyle Dietary supplements cannot substitute a well-balanced diet. at the same time, it is tough to have all the required nutrients in our daily diet these days due to innumerable reasons. Consuming dietary supplements became a part of our lifestyle as many nutrients are lacking in our new dietary practices in this fast-paced world. But, there is a not-so-familiar dimension for this. For example, if you think, you are taking enough supplements to better your health, sometimes you might be wrong. Consider, you are taking a Vitamin-A supplement in B-carotene form and if your body has reduced capacity to convert B-carotene to Vitamin-A, you still possess the risk of deficiency of vitamin-A. Thanks to the advancement in medical science, now it is easier to find which nutrients you need in supplement form by doing a metabolic assessment using various advanced techniques. Also, it is crucial to find out the right brand. The purity, efficacy and bioavailability of the supplements play a vital role, as this market is flooded with products and some of them are sham, too. Consuming a lot of supplements won’t make you healthy but the right choice of them as per your need and its efficacy are the keys. Yes, your nutritional habits and your fitness levels play a major role in deciding whether you are leading a healthy lifestyle or not. It is worth every penny in spending in these ‘preventive’ areas because the expenses incurring after becoming a victim to lifestyle disease will be much higher than that required to prevent it. Also many at times your money cannot bring yourself back to perfect health, too.

Former Pakistan cricket team captain and current Head Coach Misbah ul Haq said that openers, despite being out-of-form, should not be changed after one or two series. Misbah was speaking to media virtually where he admitted that Pakistani openers were currently "out-of-form". "We will work on their mistakes, I will be present in the National High Performance Centre and we will work on them [openers] for a month-and-a-half." Misbah said that Pakistan cannot afford to waste its openers, adding that they should not be dropped after only one or two series. "We will work on Abid Ali, Shan Masood, Imran Butt and Abdullah Shafique because only they are the ones who are performing at the moment [among openers in the domestic circuit]," he said. 'Players have a lot of potential' The Pakistani head coach said that after trouncing South Africa 2-0 in the series, the green shirts' morale was high. He said the team will attempt to continue their winning run in the T20s as well. "This is not a very experienced side but they have a lot of potential," he said. "They will take advantage of opportunities. I can't even say this is an entirely inexperienced side because it has some players that have been consistently playing for the team," Misbah added. Misbah said he had backed Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Rizwan because he knew they were talented cricketers. "Both are performing continuously for Pakistan. We needed a bowling all-rounder at the seventh position and Faheem Ashraf has filled that for us," he added. He praised Player of the Series Mohammad Rizwan, adding that the wicketkeeper was a hard worker who wanted to avail opportunities. Home series was very important for us, says Misbah "This home series was very beneficial for us," he said. "For one, the team at home performs well in its own conditions and there is no pressure on them," Misbah added. "Secondly, it provides an opportunity to develop the players." The former Pakistan captain said he did feel pressure about whatever the cricket committee had said after the green shirts lost the away series to New Zealand recently. "The only pressure was of the team performing well and winning the Test series," he said, adding that credit for the series victory goes to the entire squad. "The lower order played well. Bowlers and batsmen were performing well for over a time period but we weren't getting any success," he said. "Our fielding improved this Test series. We didn't miss any chances hence I believe our fielding made the

There are a few weeks, Tesla revealed to the surprise of the restyled version of its Model S and Model X . On the program, a slightly revised exterior style, new Plaid and Plaid + versions that are even more efficient, but above all a completely new interior. In addition to the new presentation, including among others a brand new touch screenin a horizontal and no longer vertical position, this impromptu facelift also marks the arrival of a new steering wheel never before seen on a production model, which has not failed to appeal to the public. And for good reason, its astonishing shape inspired by the world of aeronautics has caused much ink to flow in the specialized press, saluting the audacity of the firm of Elon Musk or on the contrary, questioning the practical aspect and especially legal of this command, called " Yoke ", and distinguished by its truncated shape, which may complicate certain maneuvers for example. This one also sparked debate by its lack of physical keys, replaced by touch controls. So what does the law say about this? If nothing has been specifically said for France, you have to look on the side of the Dutch regulations to get a start of an answer. The RDW (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer), in charge of the administration of vehicles and all the legal aspects around them, affirms that the steering wheel "Yoke" would in no way be illegal in the Netherlands, since it is Accordance with the legislation in force. This being then the same on a European scale, this order is by extension completely legal on all the territory, and even on our premises. Moreover, according to UN-ECE 79 regulation , the steering wheel does not have to meet shape criteria, as long as it respects certain obvious safety constraints, such as the presence of airbags or the fact that the "the direction of actuation of the steering control must correspond to the desired change of direction and there must be a continuous relationship between the control angle and the steering angle ”. However, the shape is completely free, and Tesla will therefore be able to market this steering wheel with us. Really practical? On the other hand, the question of practicality now arises, because this new command can then complicate certain maneuvers, due to the absence of an upper part. This is particularly the case when parking, where you will then have to get used to positioning your hands differently on the steering wheel so as not to be caught off guard. However, systems allowing the car to park without the intervention of the driver should be the beginning of the solution, as should a greater reduction. However, Tesla could also offer a standard round model as an option, so as not to alienate the most reluctant. Regarding touch controls, Europe does not seem to have a problem with it either, while the UN-ECE 121only requires that they be clearly visible and accessible. The only point that could be a problem is the lack of turn signals, with Elon Musk claiming that the car will be able to "guess" for itself which direction the driver will take. However, the Vienna Convention sti[CENSORED]tes that only the driver is able to activate these warning lights. This automatic device should therefore not be available from us, except for a surprising turnaround.

Tom Brady steered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a comfortable 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs to extend his record for Super Bowl wins to seven. In his first season after a glittering 20-year spell with the New England Patriots, the evergreen quarterback helped Tampa Bay become the first team to play a Super Bowl in their own stadium. And despite facing Kansas City and their dynamic young quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who came in as favourites, Brady threw three touchdown passes to prevent the Chiefs becoming the first back-to-back NFL champions since Brady and the Patriots in the 2004 season. At 43 years and 188 days, Brady became the oldest player to play in the biggest game in US sport, extending his record for Super Bowl appearances to 10 and joining Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks to win Super Bowls with two different teams. Already widely considered the greatest NFL player of all time, Brady decided to leave New England in the off-season for a new challenge and was lured to Tampa Bay, whose only previous Super Bowl win came in the 2002 season. He reportedly urged the Bucs to bring in former Patriots team-mates Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown, as well as Leonard Fournette, and the trio shared Tampa Bay's four touchdowns as they eased home in Super Bowl 55 after leading 21-6 at half-time. While the Chiefs came into the post-season as the top seed in the AFC Conference, Tampa Bay were the NFC's fifth seed and became the first wildcard team to win a Super Bowl since the Green Bay Packers 10 years ago after a remarkable play-off run. After losing to the Chiefs in week 12, the Bucs finished the regular season with four wins before beating three division winners - all on the road - to reach the title decider for just the second time. Remarkably, Brady now has more Super Bowl wins than any single NFL franchise and was named the big game's Most Valuable Player for a record-extending fifth time. "I'm so proud of all of these guys," he said. "We had a rough November but Bruce Arians (head coach) had all of the confidence in us and we came together at the right time. "I'm not making any comparisons. Coming down here and playing with this group of guys is amazing." Brady proves a point Gronkowski and Brady celebrate in front of a crowd of 25,000 at the Raymond James Stadium, which included 7,500 vaccinated healthcare workers While at New England, Brady formed the NFL's most successful quarterback-coach partnership with Bill Belichick, and when he left, some felt that Belichick deserved more of the credit, that Brady would get 'found out' without him. But the Patriots endured their first losing season since 2000 - the year before Brady became their starting QB - while Brady has won another Super Bowl, with a team he joined during a pandemic, after a heavily disrupted off-season with no pre-season games. It was also a team that, before this season, had not won a play-off game since winning Super Bowl 37. They had not reached the post-season at all since 2007. But Brady recognised they were gradually building a competitive roster. They had a solid defence that would protect him in the pocket and two of the NFL's best receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. During Super Bowl week, coach Bruce Arians said Brady was "the missing piece". For good measure, they brought Gronkowski out of retirement, gave Brown another chance and picked up free agent Fournette. All came to the fore as the Bucs ramped up for an unlikely run at the Super Bowl and after Kansas City opened the scoring with a field goal, Brady found Brown twice on the next drive before sending tight end Gronkowski over with a screen pass. The pair combined to devastating effect at New England before Gronkowski retired after winning Super Bowl 53 with Brady and the Patriots. The 31-year-old had brief stints in WWE and television during his time out. But after easing back into the rigours of the NFL with seven touchdowns during the regular season, he caught a 17-yard strike by Brady for his second of Super Bowl 55. The Chiefs finally got some offence going to reply with a field goal, 61 seconds from half-time, and just as they did in the NFC Championship game against the Packers, Tampa Bay claimed a crucial score right before the half as Brady completed a 71-yard drive by finding Brown in the end zone. Kansas City rallied at the start of the second half and cut the deficit with another field goal, but the Bucs continued to dominate on both sides of the ball, stifling the NFL's best offence. Brady found Gronkowski for another big play before Fournette burst through for a 27-yard touchdown to seal a victory which many dreamed of in Tampa when Brady came aboard, but few would have thought was possible. 'The greatest professional athlete we have seen in history' - analysis Osi Umenyiora, two-time Super Bowl champion and former New York Giants defensive end: "Tom Brady should be the first player in history to be in the Hall of Fame while he's still playing. What this man has done this year is almost beyond belief, almost beyond words. I cannot describe the level of difficulty, what it took for this man to do what he's done. "Every single year this guy's been doubted, every single year this man rises to the top like a phoenix. This guy is the greatest professional athlete we have seen in history, and this goes for any sport. And I'm not just saying that to be hyperbolic. What this guy is doing in the quarterback position - the hardest position to play in sports - winning over and over again... my hat's off to this guy." Jason Bell, former Houston Texans cornerback: "It's all because of Brady's focus, his attention to detail. He came into the league as an underdog and he's never let it go. It drives him every single day." On the manner of Kansas City's defeat: "This defeat is humbling for the Chiefs, no doubt. They're going to want to get the taste of this out of their mouth. This was a terrible performance and I didn't like the way they reacted to adversity, the way they were talking to each other when they got down wasn't right. They'll have to bounce back next season." Chiefs overawed in Tampa After leading Kansas City to their first Super Bowl win in 50 years, Mahomes was rewarded with a 10-year contract last July, making him the "first half-billion dollar player in sports history". He had become the youngest player to win the Super Bowl and the NFL MVP award, and the 25-year-old is the most exciting talent of a new era of athletic quarterbacks. After steering the Chiefs back to the big game, 'the Kid' now had a chance to take on 'the GOAT' in the NFL showpiece. It was the first to feature the quarterbacks who had won the previous two Super Bowls, and two starting QBs who have both won an NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP. But Kansas City erred in all three phases of the game - slicing punts on special teams, dropping catches on offence and showing indiscipline on defence. In the first half alone, they were penalised eight times for 95 yards. After Gronkowski put the Bucs in front, the Chiefs pulled off what seemed a huge goal-line stop to prevent the hosts extending their lead. Then Tyrann Mathieu claimed an interception on Tampa Bay's next drive, only to see it cancelled out by a defensive holding call. And although they forced the Bucs to settle for a field goal, an offside put the ball back in Brady's hands to pick out Gronkowski for his second touchdown. Despite cutting the score to 14-6 just before the half, two pass interference calls allowed Tampa Bay to march right back downfield and make it a 14-point game with Brown's touchdown before Fournette's third-quarter score proved the decisive blow. "They were the better team today, they beat us pretty good," said Mahomes. "We didn't end the season the way we wanted, but we'll learn from what went right and what went wrong."

A little bit of stress is good, and essential for survival, but severe or prolonged stress can increase the risk for stress-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and others. Chronic stress is thought to contribute to excess inflammation throughout the body that plays a critical role in the onset and progression of stress-related disease, along with elevated levels of the hormone cortisol. "Some concerns with consistently high levels of cortisol include elevated blood glucose levels, weight gain, increased appetite, GI issues, hypertension, and suppression of the immune system," explained Felicia Porrazza, a Philadelphia-based registered dietitian who helps stressed-out clients find natural ways to improve their overall wellness. Dr. Caroline Messer, a New York City-based endocrinologist, always talks to her patients about managing stress. "It's unbelievably important for their sense of wellbeing," she said. "Often when patients come in with hair loss, fatigue and insomnia, they assume there's a direct hormonal underpinning, but these symptoms can actually be stress-mediated with a secondary increase in cortisol levels," Messer said. Here's how to start making healthy changes to reduce your stress levels. Try meditating Meditation practice leads to decreased physiological markers of stress in a range of po[CENSORED]tions, according to a 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis of 45 studies. Specifically, meditation can help to lower cortisol levels, blood pressure and heart rate. A consistent meditation practice also helps us better respond to stressful situations, according to Ellie Burrows Gluck, a Vedic meditation teacher and the co-founder and CEO of MNDFL, a meditation studio in New York City that also offers live-streamed, at-home practices with meditation experts at MNDFL TV. To meditate, simply bring your full attention to your breath, inhaling and exhaling through the nose. When your mind starts to wander, come back to your breath without judgment. If you would like some support for your meditation practice, a guided meditation app can help you get started. Martha McKittrick, a New York City-based registered dietitian who provides nutrition counseling and wellness coaching to many stressed-out clients, likes Headspace, Calm, Insight Timer and Buddhify. Find a hobby you enjoy That can mean practicing an instrument, painting, cooking or playing with your children. "I think anything that takes you away from day-to-day concerns is helpful for lowering stress levels," Messer said. "The key is to focus on what you are doing to block out the rest of what is going on. I play classical piano, and I love to bake with my kids ... and (when I engage in these activities), I forget about the pandemic and work stressors." Schedule daily movement or exercise breaks Engaging in regular physical activity is a great way to help manage stress and strengthen your immune system, too. Aerobic exercise, which increases heart rate and the body's use of oxygen, boosts levels of endorphins, which work directly on opiate receptors in your brain to reduce pain and boost pleasure, Messer explained. Exercise also reduces levels of the body's stress hormones, specifically adrenaline and cortisol, explained MaryAnn Browning, founder and CEO of Brownings Fitness in a previous CNN interview. Messer advises patients to engage in aerobic exercise for 30 minutes, three times per week. "Aerobic exercise allows the muscle and liver to remove glucose from the bloodstream, increases metabolism, and can improve sleep patterns." Try riding on a stationary bike or simply taking a brisk walk. "As long as you are pushing yourself," Messer said. And if you don't want to go outside, you can just walk around in circles in your apartment while you talk to people, according to Browning, who added that she is able to get up to 23,000 steps in a day by walking and conversing at the same time. Boost intake of stress-reducing foods Foods like salmon, trout, mackerel, anchovies, sardines and herring are a rich source of stress-busting omega-3 fatty acids known as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Vitamin C-rich foods, like red and green peppers, oranges, grapefruit and kiwi, may be helpful in lowering psychological stress and blood pressure, according to one study. And fermented foods like yogurt, kombucha, kefir, tempeh and sauerkraut contain friendly bacteria known as probiotics, which have the ability to reduce stress and cortisol levels. Avoid strict dieting Limiting calories to very low levels has been shown to increase cortisol levels. "If you are cutting back on calories too much in attempts to lose your 'pandemic weight,' you may actually be doing your body harm," McKittrick said. Eating enough carbohydrates is important, too, since they prompt the brain to make serotonin, a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect in the body, according to McKittrick. On the flip side, diets that are very low in carbs can boost cortisol levels, she explained. It's also important to avoid long stretches without food. Doing so can cause drops in blood sugar, which can cause irritability and worsen stress, according to McKittrick. Try to eat something every four hours or so. Cut back on caffeine High amounts of caffeine can boost cortisol levels and intensify the effects of stress on the body, McKittrick explained. It's important to pay attention to how your body reacts to caffeine; you might need to cut back or try herbal tea instead if you are feeling stressed. Improve sleep hygiene Sleep deprivation can contribute to higher stress levels, and stress can also contribute to poor sleep quality, ultimately compounding stress. Aiming for seven to nine hours of sleep is key, as it helps to decrease cortisol and your adrenal load. If you have trouble getting that amount of sleep, taking two naps that are no longer than 30 minutes each — one in the morning and one in the afternoon — has been shown to help decrease stress and offset the negative effects that sleep deprivation has on the immune system. If you find you need additional support, meeting with a sleep psychologist can help in establishing healthy sleep/wake cycles, Messer said. Try yoga Research has shown that yoga can help in reducing cortisol levels and blood pressure. Engaging in a regular yoga practice has helped me to reduce my stress levels. My girls and I love the YouTube channel Yoga with Adriene and have made it part of our bedtime routine! Consider acupuncture "I recommend acupuncture to my patients when other avenues have failed ... and a lot of patients swear by it," Messer said. Feeling calmer and sleeping better are some of the touted benefits, she explained. Enjoy nature Getting outside and spending some time in nature can help relieve stress, improve your mood and boost feelings of happiness and well-being, according to the American Heart Association. Research has revealed numerous health benefits from being in nature, McKittrick explained. Being near green spaces in particular has been associated with reduced stress, and is associated with reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. Listen to music Playing your favorite tunes can also reduce stress levels, according to McKittrick. Upbeat music may be helpful as a mood booster, while slower music can help to quiet your mind, relax your muscles and release stress. Seek support and connection Being isolated can cause an increase in cortisol levels, Messer explained. "Humans are meant to be social, it's through our social connections that we keep our stress levels down," she said. If you can't be with a friend or loved one in person, a phone call or Zoom meeting can help you stay connected. Now that you have these tips, let's get started. Pick one stress-busting strategy to start with this week, and then add another one the following week. Put reminders on your calendar so you will have your own personalized week-by-week plan for combatting stress. Building on these behaviors will boost your confidence and empower you to continue creating a lifestyle with lower levels of stress and improved health and wellness. That's a silver lining while surviving a storm of stress, isn't it?!

KARACHI: Wide scale irregularities in administration of vaccination in Sindh have come to the forefront, including administering the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine to people over 60 years of age, non frontline health workers and totally unrelated people, sources confirmed to The News. The incident being widely reported in media regarding the administration of the Sinopharm vaccine on Saturday to the daughter and son-in-law of the former Sindh Governor and the spokesman for PML Vice President Maryam Safdar, Mohammad Zubair. The couple were administered the vaccine on Feb 6, at the Adult Vaccination Center of Ojha campus of Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS), by a deputy district officer of the District East. The former governor’s daughter also happens to be the niece of the head of National Command and Operation Center, Federal Minister Asad Umar. The PML-N leader has categorically denied any connection to the administration of vaccines to his daughter and son-in-law. Sources confirmed to the scribe that for the last three days, the NCOC Islamabad has been receiving complaints of wide ranging irregularities in the administration of coronavirus vaccine by the Sindh government due to which many “influentials but unrelated people” have benefitted. According to the complaints, several non frontline health workers, some influential people and their families were reportedly vaccinated in connivance with the officials of local health departments, besides those over 60 were also administered the vaccine. According to NCOC guidelines, the vaccine cannot be given to anyone over 60 years or under 18 years. This guideline however is in stark contradiction to the global practice where primarily those over 60 years of age are being administered the coronavirus vaccines. Following the complaints, the Sindh health department swiftly suspended Deputy District Officer of the District East Dr. Aneela Qureshi for allegedly violating the SOPs, helping non-healthcare workers in getting the COVID-19 vaccine at the Adult Vaccination Center of Ojha Campus of Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) and directed her to report to the health department. Besides, an inquiry committee led-by Fayyaz Hussain Abbasi, the provincial coordinator of the Emergency Operation Center for polio, was also constituted to investigate the violations of SOPs by Dr Aneela Qureshi within three days, said a notification issued on Sunday. The provincial health department also established a Vaccine Audit Committee to probe SOP violations comprising Director General Health Sindh Dr. Irshad Memon, Project Director EPI Sindh Dr. Akram Sultan and Deputy Secretary Health Zaheer Abbas Mir to check irregularities in the vaccination process, conduct visits of vaccination centers and inspect their operations. The committee was further tasked with conducting audit of the vaccines administered to the frontline healthcare workers, keep record of every vaccine vial and also keep record of the wasted vaccine doses. The committee was assigned the task to identify the loopholes in the COVID-19 vaccination process, take remedial measures and present its report on weekly basis to the health department. The Sindh health department on Sunday directed administrations of all the Adult Vaccination Centers (AVCs) not to vaccinate any healthcare worker above the age of 60 and those who have not been sent a pin code from the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) with COVID-19. “We have received clear instructions from NCOC, Islamabad that nobody above the age of 60 should be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine at Adult Vaccination Centers (AVCs). Today some senior health officials tried to get the vaccination but they were denied,” a senior official of the health department told The News. The official further said clear instructions have been issued to the administrations of all the AVCs that only those healthcare workers, who would be having pin code from the NADRA, would be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccination, which is only meant for frontline healthcare workers who are upto 60 years of age and added that officials violating the SOPs would have to face departmental action. Meanwhile, senior healthcare workers above the age of 60 years have expressed their disappointment over the NCOC instructions that they should not be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, arguing that people above 60 years were being vaccinated on priority basis in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other countries with Chinese vaccine Sinopharm. “Today, Vice Chancellor of a public sector health University in Karachi was denied COVID-19 vaccine on the pretext that he is above the age of 60 and as per instructions, such people can’t be vaccinated even if they are frontline healthcare workers”, a senior doctor told The News and added that due to this policy, senior healthcare professionals were highly disappointed. The doctor said during the first three days, several senior doctors above the age of 60 years managed to get themselves inoculated but on Sunday, when some of the senior doctors who were Vice Chancellors and senior medical professors, went to get themselves vaccinated at the adult vaccination center at Khaliqdina Hall, they were denied vaccination by the staff
