Tata Steel is working on a plan for transition to low carbon technologies for making steel in the U.K. and the Netherlands. In October 2021, Tata Steel completed the process of separating Tata Steel UK and Tata Steel Netherlands as two independent companies from Tata Steel Europe. Both, Tata Steel UK and Tata Steel Netherlands have been developing detailed plans for transition to low CO2 technologies in line with the company's goal to produce CO2-neutral steel by 2050 in Europe, company's CEO & MD T V Narendran and Executive Director & CFO Koushik Chatterjee said. "In Tata Steel Netherlands, we plan to gradually phase out our blast furnaces and coal over the next 10 years by replacing them with a combination of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) technology based on hydrogen, and electric furnaces," the executives said in the company's annual report for 2021-22.

2022 Toyota Glanza makes for a smooth drive
Toyota is leveraging its global partnership with Suzuki to share models and technologies, to establish its presence in the premium hatchback segment with the Baleno-based Glanza, which opens up its doors to a wider set of customers and increases overall sales volumes. Earlier this year, Maruti Baleno underwent a major transformation, and now, its Toyota equivalent follows suit. Like the Maruti, the Glanza gets a new petrol engine, an automated manual transmission (AMT), which replaces its CVT (automatic), gets some structural enhancements, completely new interiors and a laundry list of equipment.

China Uses Afghanistan Earthquake to Demand U.S. Fund the Taliban
The Global Times , a Chinese government newspaper, demanded in an editorial Thursday that the United States fund the Taliban jihadist organization by unfreezing Afghan government funds after a 5.9-magnitude earthquake killed over 1,000 people in the country this week. The earthquake most severely affected Afghanistan’s eastern Khost and Paktika provinces, largely leveling entire communities of shoddy construction on the impoverished Afghan-Pakistani border. Taliban leaders have requested support from the international community to address the disaster, thanking the governments of India, China, and Iran in particular for stepping in. As of Wednesday, American officials stated that the Taliban had not officially requested aid through the United Nations to help those affected. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has taken the lead in requesting international assistance and posting footage of the arrival of alleged humanitarian aid on social media. ذبیح الله مجاهد، … [Read more...] about China Uses Afghanistan Earthquake to Demand U.S. Fund the Taliban

Ford’s new electric Supervan is quicker than a Bugatti
The Ford brass from both the U.S. and Europe were teasing a new electric vehicle for the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Twitter last week. The not-so-secret message was that Ford was building a new SuperVan , this time all-electric as a version of its E-Transit , as an homage to the three previous marketing models built in 1971, 1984 and 1994. The new Ford Pro Electric SuperVan debuts this weekend with four electric motors and a liquid-cooled 50-kWh battery laying down 1,972 horsepower. That's good for a zero-to-62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) sprint in less than 2 seconds. It will be driven by race car driver and electric-vehicle specialist Romain Dumas, who hold the current record at The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb . Besides the wild powertrain, which holds a tenuous connection to the E-Transit, the Supervan uses other components from Ford's work van too. It has Ford Sync technology with real-time data transmission, though no fleet manager is … [Read more...] about Ford’s new electric Supervan is quicker than a Bugatti

Male Sex Dolls: They’re Not Just For Sex, Actually
A decade ago, Samantha (who requested a pseudonym to protect her privacy), 45, experienced a tragedy. Her husband was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in him becoming paralyzed from the neck down and permanently impotent. “Any other woman in my position could have left him when they knew they would never have a sex life again. But I stayed by his side because I love him,” she said. It wasn’t easy. “I mourned the loss of our sex life — not just the sex, but the intimacy that came with it,” she said. “There were times when I sat and cried my heart out.” Her husband was upset to see his wife struggling, so he suggested she find a friend with benefits. She contemplated the idea, but eventually decided not to do it. “I was worried that if I got a fuck buddy, feelings could become involved,” she said. “And if that happened, our relationship wouldn't survive.” Her marriage suffered regardless. The couple, who live in Australia, began sleeping in separate … [Read more...] about Male Sex Dolls: They’re Not Just For Sex, Actually

Hip fractures in the elderly can have serious consequences
Fractures in the geriatric population are almost always caused by a combination of weak bones from osteoporosis and a fall. Of particular concern are hip fractures as they carry a high death rate, especially since the elderly often have multiple illnesses and functional impairments as well. A hip fracture is a partial or complete break in the upper portion of the femur (thigh bone). The break often happens in the neck of the femur, i.e. the narrowest part. With younger patients, this fracture is typically the result of a fall from a ladder or a vehicle collision, but in the elderly, it is often due to a fall from a standing height. Those with severe osteoporosis can even suffer a fracture just by twisting their leg while standing. Consultant orthopaedic and arthroplasty surgeon Dr Suhail Suresh Abdullah explains: “If someone has a hip fracture and you want her to be pain-free, she will have to be totally in bed for three to six months. “This will probably heal the bone, … [Read more...] about Hip fractures in the elderly can have serious consequences
