Using a common space frame that could be shared by Opel, Vauxhall and with different plastic skins would be much less expensive than today's aluminum-intensive Speedster, which is currently produced by Lotus. Costs would also be lowered by bringing the Solstice/Lightning/Speedster work in-house.
Meanwhile, it seems as if is anticipating lower volumes if GM gives the green light to its new 2-seater by gearing up a version of the Elise for U.S. export. Our spies spotted an updated version of the car testing with a 190-bhp 2.2-liter VVT-i Toyota 4-cylinder mounted amidships. The new -powered Elise is distinguished by a center-mounted twin exhaust. Lotus is said to be anxious to begin sales of the Elise as soon as possible now that Esprit sales are coming to a close. Matt DeLorenzo and Ian Norris
A Birusa Experience
It's hard to say what fascinates the most about the Birusa, the Geneva showstopper unveiled last March by Bertone. It may be the aggressive but elegant silhouette, with its metallic pale blue paint on a wedge-shape profile. Or the proportions, with an imposing hood and a teardrop-shaped cabin that tapers toward the rear end, in the best tradition of Italian GTs. Then there are the gullwing doors, hinged to the front pillar, that lift up while the driver's seat slides backward to invite you in to take the wheel. Last but not least, there's the sound of the 5.0-liter V-8 announcing 400 bhp.
The dynamic qualities of the Birusa are exceptional for a prototype thanks to the underpinnings. The drivetrain and aluminum chassis are derived from the Z8, although the wheelbase has been stretched slightly to 112.2 in.
The Birusa would be a great candidate for a track test, but a drive on the roads in and around Caprie (the small town on the outskirts of Turin, Italy, where the Bertone styling center is based) is just fine for evaluating the concept in everyday use. It works well, and it's fun. It is only in sharp turns that the F1-inspired steering wheel proves to be impractical. Taller drivers may find the windshield header hinders the forward view.
Before changing lanes, it's best to check the dash rather than the outside mirrors-because there are none. Two screens on the instrument panel are connected with two video cameras taking in left- and right-side views. No mirrors or door handles spoil the aerodynamics of the diamond-shaped body of the Birusa. The doors open at the push of a button hidden in the chrome bar that runs across the side or by a voice command.
Likewise, the double sunroof responds to commands to slide under the body and into the trunk to expose the entire passenger cabin to open air. Conceived as a high-performance luxury 2-seater GT, the Birusa also offers its own version of a ship's tender a 2-wheeled electric Segway is nestled in the drawer-shaped trunk of the car.

Bryce Harper was ejected in the first inning of the Nationals’ 6-2 victory over the Pirates Sunday afternoon after he drew the ire of umpiring crew chief John Hirschbeck with his reaction to a check-swing third strike. The incident left the Nationals without their best player and, owing to behavior from Hirschbeck that Manager Davey Johnson deemed overaggressive, raised the issue of contentious relations between umpires and players. With two outs and none on, Harper tried to check his swing on a 2-2 curveball from Pirates starter Wandy Rodriguez. The Pirates appealed to Hirschbeck, the third base umpire, who rang up Harper. “He made the right call,” Johnson said. Harper raised his hands in protest, with the bat over his head. Hirschbeck, in his 29th season as an MLB umpire, started yelling at Harper and walking toward him. Home plate umpire Bob Davidson chimed in from behind. Harper appeared to yell back at Hirschbeck and threw his bat on the ground. Hirscbeck pointed at Harper, who then threw his helmet. As Johnson sprinted out of the dugout, Hirschbeck ejected the 20-year-old slugger. “I didn’t like that he put his hands up with the bat,” Hirschbeck said. “That’s kind of what I yelled at him. He continued and threw his bat. I kind of pointed like, ‘That’s equipment.’ And then, he still continued and slammed his helmet down. That’s when I ejected him.

The COVID-19 pandemic emerged in Israel on March 2020 and the clinical rotations for medical students were suspended. Many students engaged in volunteering activity (such as performing COVID-19 tests)1,2.
When daily diagnosed cases decreased, there was an extensive debate regarding the return of the medical students to the clinical clerkships. There were concerns that it might increase their risk for exposure to the virus and compromise the health and safety of patients. Estimates suggest that about 80% of people with COVID-19 have mild or asymptomatic disease and, on the basis of few clinical virological studies, the infectious period for COVID-19 might last for 10 days or more after the incubation period. Medical students may be exposed at hospitals and unknowingly transmit to others, further spreading the virus3. Unfortunately, further suspension of medical education for a longer period of time might delay the next generation of doctors in Israel.
To balance the risk of unnecessary exposure of medical students to the virus with the need to preserve the routine of studying and the continuation of medical education, online medical lectures were administered before attending bedside sessions, allowing time spent at the hospital wards to be minimal but effective. Most of the Israeli adult population is now vaccinated and herd immunity may have been reached4, and online lectures remain an integral part of higher education in Israel – yet they are not implemented in most medical higher education programs. The integration of online lectures is still very limited, and implemented only in specific medical fields.
Medical education, especially during clinical clerkships, is unique. Medical students learn not only the clinical concepts, but also develop as physicians, as they navigate the clinical learning environment5,6. As described by professor of medical education FW Hafferty, ‘a great deal of what is taught – and most of what is learned – in medical school takes place not within formal course offerings but within medicine’s 'hidden curriculum'’7. There is no doubt the traditional learning method of a direct clinical exposure during clinical clerkships is irreplaceable, yet it can be much improved and modernized via online methods.
The online learning environment
Online learning allows students to watch online lectures conducted by practicing physicians in their comfort zone at home without interruptions, transcribe the lecture, record it and listen to it when it suits them, at their own pace. It also allows the students to relisten to lectures containing many new facts and concepts. During the pandemic, students have been able to stay connected, despite social distancing, and preserve the routine of learning regardless of their geographic location.
Online lectures and academic performance
An example of the implications of online medical lecture for student academic performance was demonstrated in a study by Prunuske et al, where a series of short online lectures was integrated into the homework assignments of a large, introductory biology course in a research university. The majority of students opted to view the lectures before coming to class and reported it helped them to complete in-class activities. Furthermore, students who viewed the online lectures performed better on an exam designed to test lower order cognitive skills8. Novel studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated an improvement of clinical skills using online methods9,10 including virtual rotations4,7,11,12.
Online medical video lectures also allow space repetition. As described by Augustin, one of the main factors in successful learning is recalling information in expanding intervals. This might be accomplished by active recall or repetition of specific online lectures13. Spaced learning, defined as learning sessions spaced over time and including repeated information, is already applied across health profession education in varied methods, with most of them involving online learning. Space repetition results in more efficient learning and retention compared to massed educational methods and generates significant improvements in longer term information retention14.
Study according to preferred learning style
Learning style, the way in which a person accumulates knowledge in the most effective way, can be divided according to sensory personal preferences. According to Fleming and Mills, the most common learning styles are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Visual learners prefer information presented as graphs and symbols or printed as words. Auditory learners learn best from listening. They would rather hear the information presented and they often repeat what is said or rephrase the information into a question for discussion. Kinesthetic learners learn best from experience and practice, which is usually multi-modal and might involve all perceptual modes: sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing15,16.
In a study conducted by Busan, about a third of the medical students were visual learners (33%), a third were auditory learners (26%), and a third preferred a combination of methods (27%)16.
Online medical lectures can address the majority of students as they encompass both auditory and visual information. Although there is no evidence that learning according to preferred learning style can enhance learning, it has an empowering effect that cannot be ignored17. It has also been found that highly motivated students are more likely to use online medical lectures16,18,19. In a survey of 39 higher education institutions in the US, 29 of these (72%) taught learning style theory as part of faculty development for online teachers20.
The health professional educators’ point of view
From the health professional educator’s point of view, online teaching provides another avenue to highlight important concepts, use animations and short videos embedded in the presentation for emphasizing a point or idea. When teaching online, small breakout groups can be formed within a video-conferencing platform such as Zoom, allowing the educator to reach students that may not usually stand out in class. The online lecture format can be set up easily using pedagogical materials available on the instructor’s personal laptop. Online lectures can be recorded and distributed offline to a larger number of students and allow the continuity of medical education, even if the availability of the tutor is compromised due to increased demand in hospital care, and in extreme cases such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, online lectures can be updated in a timely manner to ensure delivery of the latest evidence-based content.
Conclusions and outlook
The current generation of medical students has grown up in the digital age. The digital technologies used daily by students can easily be repurposed for learning. In a study by Gormley et al, the majority of medical students reported good access to computers and to the internet, both on and off campus21. There are currently many free online resources such as podcasts, blogs, tweets14,22 and YouTube channels, with increasing numbers of subscribers worldwide using them to improve their learning experiences23. Face-to-face communication between medical students, tutors and direct patient care is invaluable7,24; however, it can be adjusted in ways that complement information technology improvements, expanding medical knowledge and the changing nature of learners.
Although difficult to quantify, overall medical students feel that online education has a positive impact on the learning of clinical skills when compared to traditional forms of learning21,25-29. Incorporation of online teaching methods within traditional medical education has the potential to maximize students’ learning and engagement. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we socialize, work, travel and use technology, and it has changed outpatient medical care by offering virtual appointments30. It will probably make its mark on medical education too.

WASHINGTON – Eight Senate Republicans broke with President Donald Trump on Thursday – joining all the chamber's Democrats to support legislation that would restrict the president's ability to wage war with Iran.
The 55-45 vote marked a rare bipartisan effort to curb Trump's powers and underscored lawmakers' concerns that U.S. tensions with Iran could escalate into a full-fledged war.
Democrats said Congress had to act to rein in an unpredictable president, arguing Trump brought the United States to the brink of war with Iran when he green-lighted a deadly strike targeting Tehran’s most powerful military leader, Gen. Qasem Soleimani.
“I fear that the president’s erratic decision-making, his lack of strategy, his inability to control his impulses may bumble us into a war … even if he doesn’t intend it,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said during Thursday’s debate.
Schumer said Thursday's vote was "a clear shot across the bow" to Trump that Congress will not support another "endless war" in the Middle East.
Sen. Todd Young, an ex-Marine and conservative Indiana Republican, praised Trump's decision to target Soleimani but said lawmakers have an obligation to debate the use of U.S. military force.
"For nearly two decades, Congress has been AWOL on certain matters of national security and attempted to pass the buck to our commander in chief when things go wrong," Young said. "It’s time for us to do our job."
Most of the Senate's 53 Republicans voted against the measure, which would direct the president to terminate the use of U.S. military force engaged in “hostilities against Iran” unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday that she would bring the Senate measure up for a House vote this month. Even if it passes the House, Trump is almost certain to veto it. There's little chance that proponents of the measure could get the two-thirds House and Senate supermajority needed to override a veto.
"It is very important for our Country’s SECURITY that the United States Senate not vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution," Trump tweeted Wednesday. "We are doing very well with Iran and this is not the time to show weakness."
Republican opponents said the Senate proposal would severely limit the Pentagon's ability to defend the USA against threats posed by Iran. They blasted Democrats for their criticism of the Soleimani killing.
"This was not some reckless act. It was a calculated and limited response to a significant, growing threat of attack against U.S. personnel in Iraq by an emboldened adversary," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a Senate floor speech this week. Trump's decision, he said, restored deterrence and reduced the risk of war.
The chief sponsor of the measure, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said the debate was less about Trump’s Iran strategy and more about Congress exercising its constitutional responsibilities to declare war.
"An offensive war requires a congressional debate and vote. This should not be a controversial proposition," Kaine said during Wednesday's debate. "If we're to order our young men and women ... to risk their lives in health and war, it should be on the basis of careful deliberation by the people's elected legislature and not on the say-so of any one person."
Kaine conceded he didn't have enough support to override a veto but said he hoped Trump would be influenced by the congressional vote.
"We’re listening to our constituents, and we’re telling him blundering into another war" would be a mistake, Kaine said.
In addition to Young, the other Republicans who voted “yes” on the resolution were: Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
Lee dismissed criticism from his fellow GOP lawmakers that the measure would tie Trump's hands or signal "weakness" on the part of the United States.
"We don’t send a message of weakness when we stand up for the rule of law," Lee said Wednesday. "That's a message of strength."

Penn National Gaming will pay a $1 million settlement to a Las Vegas casino company that was suing over the casino rights to Charles Town Races.
A Nevada court on Jan. 25 dismissed a lawsuit that attempted to label Charles Town Races as a casino and force racetrack owner Penn National Gaming to pay a management fee to a previous owner of the track. The suit, which was filed by Showboat Development, was dismissed on the grounds that case should be heard in West Virginia, where the track is located.

MomConnect’s improved maternity services
South Africa’s mHealth service, MomConnect has used SMSs to provide pregnant women information with health advice for nearly a year and a half. The team has analysed its compliments and complaints and scrutinised the databases containing information on its operation. The result’s an improved service, showing the benefits of M&E.
In an article in of the Journal of Public Health Policy, The MomConnect mHealth initiative in South Africa: Early impact on the supply side of MCH services, the MomConnect review team from the School of Public Health, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa National Department of Health (NDoH) and South Africa MEASURE Evaluation Strategic Information for South Africa (SIFSA), says more than 580,000 pregnant women registered on MomConnect, less than half pregnant women booking their pregnancies in South Africa’s public health sector. About 4,170, 0.7%, provided compliments. There were 690 complaints, 0.1%, of which 74% were resolved, leading to better quality such as fewer drug stock-outs and improved behaviour of some health workers.
Once registered, women receive free SMSs linked to the stage of their pregnancy. They receive messages postnatally, linked to the age of their infant, up to one year. Pregnant women can also interact in three ways with a DoH health desk:
- A rating system the day after registration comprising ?ve basic questions about quality
- Women can ask for additional information on any topic about their pregnancy
- They can log a complaint or compliment about the service they’ve received.
These activities should be seen in the context of MomConnect’s aims to:
- Connect pregnant women to health services
- Enable these women to interact with the health system
- Improve service delivery
- Encourage pregnant women to attend antenatal clinics as early as possible, preferably before 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The review deals mainly with aims one to three. The findings lay down benchmarks for a subsequent review. Improvements should be expected in the ratio of compliments to complaints by exceeding the 6:1 rate, a general levelling of complaints across the nine provinces and fewer drug stock outs.
Equivalent benchmarks could be set on the socio-economic and health impact on mothers, babies, infant, families and communities of goal four. These are much more challenging to set and to measure, but provide important information.
eHNA reported on the MomConnect presentation at eHealth ALIVE in September. The audience was very responsive.

The Threshold of The Free World: Interview with David Bezmozgis
Canadian writer and filmmaker David Bezmozgis’s first novel, The Free World, tells the story of the Krasnansky family: three generations of Russian Jews who flee Soviet Latvia and head for Rome, where the family must spend six months waiting to secure visas to North America. In ironic contrast to the book’s title, the Italian capital is a threshold where the boundaries of freedom are still denied for the family.
For Bezmozgis, who was born in Riga, Latvia and moved to Canada with his family when he was six years old, the human and historical facets of the immigrant experience are an important topic. The theme of Soviet immigrants living in the free world, was also central to the author’s highly acclaimed book of short fiction, Natasha and Other Stories (2004).
On May 3, 2011, Bezmozgis came to City of Asylum/Pittsburgh to read from The Free World. Earlier that day, he spoke to Sampsonia Way about this new novel told in three voices, each reflecting a variant Soviet mindset.
A part of your novel’s narrative describes the perils of political hoax. Samuil, one of your characters in The Free World, says: “Rogues and impostors should not be allowed to qualify the essential Communist picture.” Do you think that people in the West may have a distorted image of the Soviet era?
I think that people in the West definitely have a distorted picture of Soviet life. Since this book is primarily written for the North American audience, it aims to expose the misconceptions that North Americans may hold, and to provide a factual insight into Soviet politics. The book is told in three voices in order to show different perspectives on life in the former communist country. Alex’s point of view is light and hedonistic; Polina’s is much more solid and realistic; patriarch Samuil’s is all about a steadfast belief in the moral precepts of socialist ideology.
In the novel, Samuil is referred to as a “breathing archive” of the Soviet era. His character may appear to the reader as rather cryptic and even paradoxical. Can you extend this metaphor?
Since the cold war, the tenets of communism have been so deeply discredited that nobody can take them seriously in any form anymore. There is a ubiquitous antipathy towards anything Soviet. On one hand, it’s true that at times overt brutality and evil ruled. However, it is also true that the Soviet story has been demonized so deeply that it is hard for anyone to understand now how somebody like Samuil could have believed in it so completely and blindly.
Samuil’s character is created to challenge this prejudice. He is an ingenuous, even if gullible and ideological, relic of the Soviet era. He appears cryptic only because of where we ideologically are today. To his Soviet contemporaries fifty or more years ago, he would not have seemed so paradoxical or outrageous. There were many Samuils back then. They were all part of that generation.
Your novel also mentions the idea of Soviet “compensation” for all the hardship that Jewish people had to endure in the pre-revolutionary years of Russia.
Very few people know how it felt to be a Jew in Tsarist Russia, how terribly demeaning the lives of those unwanted people were and how hopeful and bright the communist project at first appeared to them. To us, now, that kind of mentality seems very dim and distant. But the belief in the Soviet “compensation” is still fresh in Samuil’s memory. After all, he is also convinced that the communists also helped his people fight “dark and reactionary fascism.”
Communism was a powerful ideological movement that shaped the 20th century. This book chronicles times that no longer are and people that no longer live. The Soviet Union is gone. The language (Yiddish) is dying. Nothing from that era will be replicated.
Samuil asks a rhetorical question, “In the war you ran from the enemy. Now who are you running from?” Clearly, he was suspicious of a promised land of freedom…
Someone once compared Samuil to Moses who didn’t get to see Israel. I don’t think that this analogy is accurate. The irony is that the patriarch in my novel follows the dream of his family, not his own. He is not like Moses, because Moses actually wanted to see Israel. Samuil, conversely, is very skeptical about the entire project of emigration. If we follow the line of Exodus, he is more like the children of Israel who had to wander the desert for forty years. The exegesis is that the generation of slaves had to die out. Only free men could settle in the promised land of Israel. Likewise, Samuil’s inability to adapt, and his nostalgia are too strong. He doesn’t belong in the free world.
A lot has been written about the Holocaust in the West, but we are only beginning to fathom the Soviet Russian Jewish experience. However your novel would be less captivating if we only had Samuil’s ideological perspective in it. Do you believe that the accounts of Alex and Polina, which are opposed to Samuil’s, helped The Free World to familiarize the readers outside Russia with the concurrent history of Communist oppression?
Who knows, but I hope that it has. The Free World is a tale of a somewhat Herculean, at times trying process of emigration. Why emigrate, why uproot yourself, why go through all of this estranging experience if one is happy in one’s native land? For Karl, Alex, Polina, and others in the book, Soviet life was rather stagnant.
For the most part, the sufferings of the Jews east of Poland are unknown in the West. But it wasn’t very well known inside the Soviet Union. Soviet policy was to not divide the victims and so there was little talk about the specifically Jewish nature of the tragedy. Now, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the archives have been opened, and a book like this is more possible than ever before.
Your choice of genre is always fiction, but the reader may be tempted to describe your work as creative non-fiction. What would be your response to this description?
Fiction may echo real life events and thus engage the reader that way. It’s the game that the author plays and the purpose of the game is to establish a compelling intimacy between the story contained in the narrative and the reader’s own life experiences and sensibility. Perhaps Natasha, since it’s written in the first person voice, could be more easily confused for a memoir. However, The Free World is a very deliberate departure from what could be construed as autobiography. There is no true “I” in the novel. I was 6 years old when we left the Soviet Union, and for that reason, the adult voice that I may be thought to assume as my own could not be mine.
What’s next? Are you hoping to continue exploring the adventures of the Russian Jewish migration?
I am still fascinated by unexplored areas of the Soviet period. I started another book that deals with a similar theme. It’s about two men, one of whom is a famous Soviet Jewish dissident and the other is the man who denounced him.
It’s a deliberate move further and further away from anything based on my personal experience. I want to write about things that couldn’t be confused with my own life.
Writers like Pynchon or Salinger avoided public encounters. Occasionally, you also give the impression of a reluctant interviewee. There could be a myriad of reasons. What is yours?
My work is complete without me. Seriously, what do we need the writer for? The book is there for the reader to discover and enjoy it without any guidance. What really counts is the reader’s critical engagement with the novel, not what the author thinks about it.
But I am also being slightly hypocritical here. I do read interviews by my favorite writers and I must confess that I’m curious about what other writers and artists have to say about their craft.
After all, I am here today talking about my new novel, and maybe doing it not so reluctantly.

Masala arbi is a dry sabzi recipe made with Arbi. Arbi in English is known as colocasia or taro roots. The Arbi ki sabji which I am sharing with you all today is delicious crispy fried Punjabi arbi recipe that tastes almost similar to a potato roast.
Colocasia or Taro roots are commonly known as Arbi in Hindi is made in different ways. Most common is making an Arbi stir fry by cutting peeled vegetable into thin strips and then frying it in hot oil. This is also known as dry arbi masala curry.
Another way of making Arbi masala is the way I am cooking it here in this recipe. This can be served with chapati or rice as a side dish. Otherwise, you can simply enjoy this as it is. I sometimes serve it as an appetiser or teatime snack as well.
Arbi Masala Recipe Video
But as I said I often serve it as a side dish with any dal and chapati for a delicious Indian meal. This recipe of Arbi masala is super easy to make. The only thing you have to make sure is to know How long to boil it before stir frying it in a pan. Also, arbi is a bland vegetable by itself so you need to season and spice it well.
The main flavours in my arbi masala are ajwain (carom seeds) and fennel seeds powder which makes it quite aromatic. The taste of ajwain adds a nice texture and warm taste. Try it once and you will know what I mean 🙂
Arbi Masala Recipe Notes
- Thoroughly wash the arbi first to get rid of dirt if there is any.
- While pressure cooking, make sure you parboil the arbi, otherwise it can quickly turn mushy.
- I have fried the arbi in the pan, you can make it in Air fryer as well but I find that version little too much dry so I prefer to make arbi roast in a pan.
Masala Arbi recipe - Arbi Fry Recipe
- 500 grams Arbi /colocasia /Taro roots
- 4 Tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds/jeera
- 1 teaspoon carrom seeds/ajwain
- salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon fennel powder /saunf
- 1 green chilli chopped
- Boil the Arbi in salted water for 10-15 minutes in half covered pan. Or, pressure cook it in salted water for one whistle and immediately release the pressure.
- Peel the cooled arbi and cut it into two halves
- Heat 3 tablespoon oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and carom seeds. Allow them to splutter and add boiled arbi pieces.
- Cook them till all arbi pieces become crisp and golden brown and then move them aside to make space in the centre of the pan.
- Add remaining oil in the centre and add, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt to taste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and mix well.
- Now mix these spice powders with arbi/taro roots and stir-fry gently for 3-4 minutes.
- Add finely chopped green chilli and remove from heat. Serve this masala arbi with chapati and dal for a heavenly Indian meal.

High street and online banking giant Santander has launched a new savings account that will increase people’s money by 2.5%. The bank’s new 123 Regular e-Saver will be available to new and existing customers from tomorrow – April 6.
You only need £1 to open an account, and Santander says it’s one of the best regular savings accounts for consumers currently on the market with a major bank.

This new savings account will offer those looking to boost their finances a fixed interest rate of 2.5% AER/Gross for 12 months, the Express says.
With the 123 Regular e-Saver, customers will be able to access, view and manage their money online or through Santander’s mobile app. It will be made available to those who are already clients of 123, Private and Select current accounts, aged 16 or over.
All funds must be paid into the savings account via a standing order from an existing Santander 123, Select or Private current account. Bank customers will be able to transfer up to £200 a month into Santander’s latest savings offer.
It should be noted that any money paid into the account and then withdrawn from it will go towards the £200 monthly limit.
Overall, this £200 monthly threshold means savers will see a maximum balance of £2,400 per year.
Towards the end of the 12-month period, the balance, including accrued interest, will be returned to the current account of the bank from which the standing order was paid.
However, if the saver’s standing order is in place when the regular eSaver expires, the final account balance and interest will be transferred to an Everyday Saver account.
Customers who currently have a regular e-Saver account will automatically benefit from the new rate of 2.5% on all new savings. These savings must be deposited after their account matures at the end of their current 12-month term.
As it stands, the regular Santander e-Saver, number 13, has an interest rate of 0.5% AER/gross for 12 months. The bank’s regular e-saver customers will switch immediately after 12 months to the rate available at that time.
This rate is expected to be 2.5% from April 6, 2022, but will be subject to changes and mitigating factors. Hetal Parmar, head of banking and savings at Santander UK, explained why the financial institution was raising interest rates on some of its savings products.
Mr Parmar said: “We understand that saving for the future remains important to many customers, and following the recent interest rate increase on our 123 checking account, we are pleased to offer even more value to 123 World customers with our new Regular e-Savers.”
In addition to these changes to the bank’s savings accounts, Santander will launch a brand new e-saver tomorrow.
Reflecting the bank’s recent announcement, this new product will have an interest rate of 2.5% for all customers.
UK residents aged 16 or over can open this particular account with Santander for just £1.
Due to the rising cost of living, the bank hopes its latest rate hikes will entice more customers to do business and save with the bank.
In addition, information on Santander’s full range of savings products is available on the bank’s website.

Our great- and grandparents worked in the Nittel/Mosel region as well as in Rüdesheim/Rhein area and in Strasbourg in viticulture and wine trade. Working with hand and horse in the vineyard have become as familiar to us, as juice, wine and sparkling wine production. Our interest is to discover what is understood in practice. Every year we get a new opportunity to produce grapes and prepare wine. We are open to the challenges posed by climate and vintage. We question our experience, observe, experiment and learn to act. Without the people who share our passion, this trip to oenology would not take place – therefore we are grateful.
On Rheinknie where Mäuseturm and Ehrenfels Castle face each other, we maintain
150 meters above the Rhine our vineyard with 1750 vines on 5000 m2. The terraces are held by 500 meters of dry stone walls directly supported by the Rüdesheim rock face. The kettle-shaped, skeleton-rich vineyard is inclined to south-south-west.
The cultivation of the vine is an intervention in nature. Since we want to produce riesling and sparkling wine, which tastes to us and our friends, we only intervene in the culturing of the vine as absolutely necessary. The vines are from a selection program of ancient riesling clones from the Rhine and the Moselle executed by the Institute for Grapevine Breeding and Grafting from the Geisenheim Research Institute. The genetic material is derived from vineyards from the late 19th and early 20th century partly planted on own roots without rootstocks on the steep slopes of the two rivers.
We use the flora and fauna in the Rüdesheimerberg above river kilometer 531 to achieve our goal. Birds, insects and other natural enemies of viticultural pests, in conjunction with appropriate cultural methods like canopy management, plant protection and soil preparation, ensure the development of the grapes for our riesling.
According to our understanding of viticulture and winemaking, we support the biological processes by oenological decisions. The composition of the ingredients in our wine and sparkling wine re-arises each year.
Ripe grapes arise not only from the achievement of a certain concentration of glucose and fructose, but the specific composition of secondary plant constituents, year by year, is what differentiates the grape quality. When this specific maturity is reached - usually mid-October - we harvest.
Naturally composed grape material of optimal maturity, after a maceration period of several hours, extracted intensively using a falling wedge basket wine press, delivers the foundation of our wine making process. The juice clarification is carried out by static sedimentation without additives. If the grapes are healthy, we start the spontaneous fermentation through the natural yeast flora. The - racking of - from the sediment after alcoholic fermentation does not take place before the end of the calender year. After further aging on the fine lees we stabilize with sulfur dioxide. Then we filter our wine before bottling. Using classical bottle fermentation, we reserve a portion of our harvest for the production of sparkling wine. To achieve our renowned balanced aroma we store the sparkling wine respectively 48 months on the lees.

The House and Senate passed competing reauthorization measures last year after the domestic violence law lapsed in 2011. But a bicameral compromise never materialized because lawmakers were unable to overcome House objections to language that would have paid for an increase in U visas. Senators agreed to drop that contentious provision this time.
Grassley’s amendment also would have allowed repeat drunk drivers to be deported and created a range of mandatory minimum sentences for such crimes as forcible rape and aggravated sexual assault. In addition, it would have added grant-auditing requirements, restricted grantees’ lobbying activities and limited the use of funds under the law for administrative fees and salaries.

Sixteen people are missing after a diamond mine in Russia flooded Friday, according to the company which owns the mine, Alrosa.
Another 102 people have been rescued from the “Mir” mine in the town of Mirny, in the Republic of Sakha, Eastern Siberia, a statement from Alrosa said.
Thirty-two more are in the process of being brought to safety, it said.
In an earlier statement Friday, the company said the incident occurred at 4:30 p.m. local time because of a “breakthrough of water into the mine from the open pit.”
It said a rescue operation was underway and that work had begun to repair the damage caused.
On its website, Alrosa describes itself as the world’s leading diamond mining company, accounting for nearly 30% of global diamond production in terms of carats.

It is behind Green Valley Cash and Carry
The road is wide and easily accessible with your own car or uber/careem.
Is Diva Restaurant in Islamabad or Rawalpindi?
Right off the bat, I have to tell you that the Restaurant in Bahria Phase 7, is firmly in Rawalpindi, south of GT road. The Islamabad tag is why Malik Riaz is such a genius.
The other restaurant franchise is in Jinnah Park, Islamabad (read Rawalpindi).
Best things about the Restaurant
- There is ample parking there.
- Don’t forget to book in advance or you will have to wait for half an hour to get a table.
- They have a top deck and a patio to have dinner in the cool breeze and under the stars. The place has a clean environment and the Soan River flows alongside it. It is quiet and romantic.
- As it is nestled inside a residential area, there is dim lighting all around, and very serene.
- It’s a little far so not too many people get there. This allows for ample opportunity for ‘alone time’, if you get what I mean.
Diva Restaurant Menu
Restaurant menu is pasted below.
The menu for Restaurant in Jinnah Park is similar
Food of the Restaurant
They serve all menus from Pakistani to Chinese to steaks. I tried their chicken karahi and it was not too bad. The chicken was of better quality. The garlic naan were tasty. Their chicken burger is nice too.
Their steak could have been better with a little more focus on the meat rather than the secondary stuff around it.
Diva Restaurant Rating
Overall I would give this place 7 out of 10; a place worth going to.If you have enjoyed reading my review. i a sure you will like reading my reviews on other restaurants in Rawalpindi, Islamabad.

The Focus Must Stay On Evacuations, Not On The Exit From Afghanistan, Harris Says
SINGAPORE — Vice President Kamala Harris asserted Monday that the U.S. must maintain its focus on evacuating Americans and vulnerable Afghans and shouldn't get distracted by questions over what went wrong in the chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan.
Speaking at a news conference in Singapore, Harris repeatedly declined to engage when asked what she felt should have been done differently in the withdrawal.
"There's no question there will be and should be a robust analysis of what has happened, but right now there's no question that our focus has to be on evacuating American citizens, Afghans who worked with us and vulnerable Afghans, including women and children," she said.
Harris took questions alongside Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong after the two met for about two hours to discuss issues ranging from the COVID-19 response to cybersecurity and supply chain cooperation. The news conference was dominated by Afghanistan, after the messy U.S. withdrawal sparked concerns about America's commitments to its allies globally.
Harris' visit to Singapore and Vietnam this week is seen as the first real test of the Biden administration's ability to reassure key allies of its resolve.
Prime Minister Lee offered his country's support for the U.S. decision to withdraw, however, and said Singapore was "grateful" for the U.S. efforts to combat terrorism in Afghanistan. He also offered the U.S. the use of the Singapore Air Force's transport aircraft to help with the evacuation, and said the country is now watching what the U.S. does next.
"What matters is how the U.S. repositions itself in the Asia Pacific, engages the broader region and continues to fight against terrorism, because that will determine the perceptions of the countries of the U.S.′ global priorities and of its strategic intentions," he said.
Harris' Southeast Asian trip, which brings her to Singapore and then later to Vietnam this week, is aimed at broadening cooperation with both nations to offer a counterweight to China's growing influence in the region.
On Monday, the vice president's office announced a series of new agreements with Singapore aimed at combating cyberthreats, tackling climate change, addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and alleviating supply chain issues.
On cybersecurity, the Treasury and Defense Departments, as well as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, have each inked a memorandum of understanding with their Singapore counterparts expanding information sharing and training to combat cyberthreats.
The two nations agreed to cooperate more closely to track COVID-19 variants and engage in research on coronavirus treatments. And the Department of Commerce is joining with the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry to create a partnership focused on strengthening trade throughout a handful of key industries.
The White House announced additional agreements between the two nations fostering cooperation on space exploration and defense issues as well. The announcements came Monday after Harris met with Singapore President Halimah Yacob and Prime Minister Lee.
Harris is set to visit the Changi Naval Base on Monday afternoon, where she'll speak to American sailors aboard the USS Tulsa, a combat ship.
On Tuesday, Harris will deliver a speech outlining the Biden administration's vision for the region, and meet with business leaders to discuss supply chain issues.
The trip marks Harris' second foreign trip in office — she visited Guatemala and Mexico in June — and will be the first time a U.S. vice president has visited Vietnam.
Singapore is the anchor of the U.S. naval presence in Southeast Asia and has a deep trade partnership with the U.S., but the country also seeks to maintain strong ties with China and a position of neutrality amid increasingly frosty U.S.-China relations.
Relations between the U.S. and China deteriorated sharply under Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, and the two sides remain at odds over a host of issues including technology, cybersecurity and human rights.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made their first overseas trips to Japan and South Korea. Austin traveled to Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines last month and vowed U.S. support against Beijing's intrusions in the South China Sea.
Alexander Feldman, president and CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council, said Harris will have to be careful in her conversations with Singapore's leaders not to focus too heavily on China, but to emphasize a positive, productive U.S. relationship with Singapore and Vietnam.
"Where she could fall into a trap is really trying to pit this as a U.S. versus China trip. It should be a U.S. trip to our friends and partners in Southeast Asia," Feldman said.
If China becomes the main focal point, he said, "that makes it harder for our friends to move forward across the region, not only in Singapore and Vietnam but beyond that."
Indeed, Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said in a recent interview that Singapore will "be useful but we will not be made use of" in its relations with both countries, and the nation's prime minister previously warned the U.S. against pursuing an aggressive approach to China.
Beijing, however, has seized on Harris' trip, with China's official Xinhua News Agency issuing an editorial Saturday on the visit portraying it as part of a drive to contain China.
Visits to Southeast Asia by senior Biden officials are aiming to "woo these countries to form a ring of containment against China. But Southeast Asian countries are reluctant to choose sides between China and the United States, and America's 'wishful plan' will end in failure," Xinhua said.
The U.S. approach is based on "outdated Cold War thinking and is intended to provoke troubles in their relations with China, create division and confrontation, and try to create a ring of containment," the editorial said.

Emirates Float Glass (EFG) has commissioned a new float glass facility catering to the automotive glass sector.
Emirates Float Glass (EFG), a subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC, has commissioned a new facility aimed at enhancing its production capabilities to cater to the automotive glass sector.
The new offline facility, encompassing investments of over 10 million AED, is equipped with the most modern machinery from Europe. It features completely automated programming and a production line with limited human intervention in order to ensure consistent quality vital for the automotive glass industry.
Demand from the automotive and transport sectors accounts for 15 to 20 percent of the float glass market across the globe. Of this, 95 percent goes to the automotive industry, including buses and coaches, trucks and off-road mobile machinery, while the rest is for the other transport sectors; trains, metros, trams, ships, boats and all types of aircraft.
The market for automotive glass consists of original equipment supplied to car manufacturers for new cars and other vehicles, and Automotive Glass Replacement products, supplied for retrofit purposes.
EFG’s macro approach in developing its own capacity expansion has contributed significantly to the company’s performance. EFG is aiming to be the one-stop-shop for all the required glass in the architectural and automotive glass industry with its products ranging from clear, tinted to pyrolytic coated glass.
This new facility will further leverage the market leadership of another DI subsidiary Lumiglass Industries LLC, which produces security laminated glass and bullet resistant glass with wide applications for automotive and other industries. With the EFG facility, the companies can now cater to a wide spectrum of glass demand from the automotive industry.

BWW Review: FLASHDANCE THE MUSICAL Needs Work
According to Theatre League president Mark Edelman, FLASHDANCE THE MUSICAL , which was seen this weekend as part of the Broadway in Birmingham series, is a new production. This tour marks "the next stage in the development of this work." In an email to season ticket holders Edelman explains that "since the premier in London's West End, the show has gone through several different incarnations here in the U.S."
In this critic's mind they need to keep working. Last night's performance of FLASHDANCE at the Birmingham- Jefferson Civic Center Concert Hall was a huge disappointment.
FLASHDANCE has a special meaning to me- it was the first movie my husband and I saw together over 30 years ago. We had both already seen it, but didn't want to tell the other so we saw it again. When we saw that FLASHDANCE was being made into a play we were excited.
What a letdown.
Punctuated with the occasional dance move from the movie or a snippet of a song from the film, most of the play was a chopped up version of the story with second rate original music added. It never let the main character, Alex, develop into the capable woman she was intended to be either as a welder or a dancer. Partly due to the casting and partly due to the poor direction and choreography, Alex never seems to be capable in any of her endeavors.
The comment by Edelman in his email that "the current tour is a bit more gritty than it was before" is hard to understand since even the costumes, especially in the strip club scenes, have the poor girls more covered up than most of us are on the beach. I saw nothing "gritty" in this show.
Iconic scenes like the sweatshirt scene where Alex removes her bra from under a giant sweatshirt, did not come off as sexy, but awkward. For the rest of that scene the constant fidgeting with the sweatshirt made me totally lose focus on the play.
Few of the singing voices were particularly good which astonishes me since I just saw a college production where ALL of the voices were outstanding. Duets and other group numbers especially pointed out the mismatched voices which didn't blend well.
And where were the live musicians? As far as I could tell all of the music was canned, recorded music. I saw no signs of real musicians and none are listed in the program. Another huge mistake for a live musical trying to "make it big."
This should be a dance heavy show, but instead the dancers were made to carry out rather juvenile choreography. Little things like toes not pointed, lots of hair tossing and basic steps like grapevines repeated over and over made the whole thing seem unprofessional.
I will say that the set is nice. The use of projections on the corrugated background worked well for signage and locations. The random videos are not as successful.
If I were pressed to help with the revamping of this show, I would keep the set and start over from there. If indeed this is a tryout and a work in progress, I would have to say the kindest thing would be to just let it flash out. If it is to be resurrected, then it needs new original music, a better telling of the story and a new director.
The Theatre League needs to do a better job of getting a season together. At Christmas I had to forgo a review altogether because I didn't want to be harsh during the season of comfort and joy. However, two of this season's productions were sub-par. With so much excellent local theatre in this city we don't need to have poor performances brought in at exorbitant prices. We expect and deserve better.

The four amateur artists were filmed for the making of a new Channel 5 art challenge, which is hosted by TV celebrity Fern Britton
Fern and the TV crew enjoyed sunny weather today as they filmed on Scarborough Spa's roof terrace, and at Peasholm Park. Yesterday they had worked in less then glorious weather in Goathland.
The team are filming Watercolour Challenge, a reboot of the 1990s Channel 4 programme that was presented by Hannah Gordon.

It is being made by production company Twofour.
ITV Studios, which handles international distribution of Watercolour Challenge, says on its website: "The refreshed format will retain the brand’s original warmth, with artists competing brush to brush to see if they have what it takes to capture the beauty of Britain.
"The series will celebrate some of the country’s most beautiful views across the coast and countryside as well as architectural gems."
It says the 20-part series "will blend the artists’ skills with tips for the amateur art lover, glorious views and a daily dose of competition."
Dan Adamson, Managing Director, Twofour, said: “Watercolour Challenge remains one of the most loved daytime titles and we’re absolutely delighted to be working with the team at C5 to bring it back for their audience.
"With Fern Britton hosting from some of the most beautiful parts of the country we really hope it's as well received as the original series was."
Guy Davies, Commissioning Editor (VP) Factual Channel 5, added: “Watercolour Challenge is a feelgood classic and it’s high time to bring it back as part of Channel 5’s strengthening of daytime. This last year has seen more of us than ever before picking up the paint brushes and getting creative”.
The artists today were painting the classic view across the South Bay, featuring the Grand Hotel, castle and harbour.

Internet giant Google is an equal opportunity employer; though, to paraphrase George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel Animal Farm, some employees are more equal than others.
Specifically, the tech company will begin paying certain homosexual employees more than their heterosexual counterparts. The extra pay is earmarked to cover the cost of adding a gay partner to a health care plan.
The average wage increase, which is retroactive to the beginning of the year, is reportedly $1,069 per year, which studies show will put gay and straight employees on equal footing with the IRS. Since federal tax law considers employer health coverage for domestic partners taxable income, those individuals are responsible for that additional burden.
While I can appreciate that gay couples might consider this an unfair tax, I must also contend that they aren’t the only ones. This nation’s tax system is so convoluted and unnecessarily complex, segments of the population are paying all sorts of taxes not levied on other groups.
Though the disparity exists, employers should not use that as an excuse to impose post-tax parity among staff members based on lifestyle choices.
As an example, a Google employee who rents his home won’t be impacted by the same property taxes that his colleague might have to pay. No one would expect his co-worker to demand a raise to compensate for taxes related to his property ownership, though.
An employer’s only responsibility is to provide equal access to positions and provide a wage commensurate with the duties performed. Any extraneous efforts to make every employee’s life fair outside of the workplace is not only an overreach but actually acheives an opposite result.
Instead of creating fairness on behalf of its gay employees, Google actually treated its straight workers unfairly by denying them a $1,000 per year raise.

My PhD in the field of Matrix Pathobiochemistry/Bone Biology was based on clinical trials aiming the validation of bone biomarkers in serum and urine, the development of new biochemical markers of bone metabolism/metastatic cancer and the clinical evaluation of pharmaceutical compounds administered in patients with cancer-induced bone disease. I also investigated the effect of bisphosphonates on the proliferation and functional properties, i.e. migration, invasive potential, adhesion of epithelial breast cancer cells and studied the expression of cell surface receptors and functional matrix macromolecules.
As a postdoctoral scientist since April 2013 in the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell-Matrix Research (university of Manchester), I was involved in the preclinical drug development of a novel recombinant human protein-based immunomodulator as a therapeutic for post-menopausal osteoporosis and performed efficacy studies in mouse and rat animal models. In November 2015, I moved to the Institute of Ageing & Chronic Disease in Liverpool as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. My work was funded by an ARUK grant, led by Prof. George Bou-Gharios, involved the generation and maintenance of novel transgenic mice for the investigation of specific genes in the development as well as the therapy of osteoarthritis by a gain-of-function approach using overexpression of specific genes (TIMP3).
I am currently working with Dr. Aphrodite Vasilaki for a BBSRC grant exploring the effects of maternal protein diet on the musculoskeletal system and independently evaluate nutritional programming of bone development. I have extensive experience in the development of bioanalytical methods for biomarker discovery, cell-based assays for in vitro drug testing, a solid background in extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment and in depth knowledge of musculoskeletal biology.
