The S60 Polestar has been launched at Rs 52. You still get airbags all around, ABS, lane keeping aid and the party trick - an automatic braking system which detects an impending collision and applies brakes. Polestar is the performance division of Volvo, similar to what AMG is to Mercedes and &rubber wheels Manufacturers39;M' is to BMW. This system works up till 50kmph. When compared to its rivals in India like the Mercedes-AMG C43 and the Audi S5, the Volvo S60 Polestar is faster than the Audi and only a tenth of a second behind the Merc.What can a Volvo performance sedan do, you ask? Well, let's start from the heart of the matter.

Another major change is that the Polestar S60 gets an all-wheel drive system mated to an 8-speed auto gearbox with paddle shifters, whereas the S60 is a front-wheel drive sedan.The Indian car market is opening up to big performance cars and a fair amount of people has started showing interest in performance and driver-focused versions. However, the Swedish automaker plans to change this with the introduction of the S60 Polestar. Volvo S60 Polestar Volvo cars aren't exactly known for their performance and excitement. Apart from the extra ponies under the hood, Polestar has also given the S60 a body kit, bigger disc brakes, 20-inch alloy wheels, 80 per cent stiffer chassis, stiffer suspension setup and a Polestar steering wheel. We have driven the Volvo S60 Polestar and will be coming out with a review shortly, so stay tuned.5 Lakh PTI Published: Apr 19, 2017, 9:35 pm IST Updated: Apr 19, 2017, 9:35 pm IST Volvo S60 Polestar is the first ever Volvo Polestar in the country.

Once you plug in the mouse, the ASUS badging and the scroll wheel glow in a beautiful multicolour light show.The ASUS Espada GT200 is a great gaming mouse with a good build and responsive hardware. ASUS says that the Espada&nylon wheels39;s Avago-3050 optical sensor can provide up to 4000 DPI, which is pretty much lower for a gaming mouse standard. We particularly like the Lamborghini-styled vents towards the bottom and the Batmobile-styled button contours.

At first glance, the Espada GT200 looks like any other mouse – thanks to an overdose of black polycarbonate wrapping all around. ASUS’s driver software for the Espada lets you customise the mouse to your preference. The previous time we had a gaming mouse for review — the Corsair Glaive RGB, we arrived at a conclusion that purpose-built computer peripherals go an extra mile in providing a great user experience. However, a great experience also comes at a huge price, which could make respectable peripherals out of reach for the common man wanting to enjoy his FIFA or Call of Duty gaming sessions. Scrolling through web pages and office documents for extended duration make sure you stay comfortable. Considering a price of Rs 2,990, the ASUS Espada GT200 makes for a great gaming/regular mouse combo, with potent hardware and surely earns a recommendation from us for a great budget gaming mouse. To check it out, we had it on our desk, literally.The woven wire mesh cable makes tangle-free — no more struggling with jumbled wire cords.

He spent the whole day with his family but did not return home”, his wife  Monica (27)  told journalists.

“This is really the strongest possible process,” Kurt Straif, the head of IARC’s classification program, told Reuters when asked about the way his agency evaluates possible causes of cancer. The agency is currently embroiled in an acrimonious dispute with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) over glyphosate, an ingredient of widely-used pesticides.”The public sometimes misunderstands what IARC means by its classifications.

“But there is a disjunction between the pure science and the policy and public health messaging. The Huffington Post declared: “Meat is the new tobacco.”Such interpretations are misleading, in IARC’s view. It takes no account of typical levels of human exposure or consumption. Over four decades, a WHO research agency has assessed 989 substances and activities, ranging from arsenic to hairdressing, and found only one was “probably not” likely to cause cancer in humans. Its assessments of whether something is a cause of cancer catch the eyes and ears of policymakers and the public. And the science is absolutely fine,” he told Reuters. The WHO’s official spokesperson, Gregory Hartl, issued a statement saying WHO’s Geneva headquarters had been flooded with queries and requests for clarification..Geoffrey Kabat, a cancer epidemiologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the United States, who has publicly criticised IARC, says the classifications do the public “a disservice. The agency says it assesses “hazard” — the strength of evidence about whether a substance or activity can cause cancer in any way.”Semi-detached agencyFrom the beginning, IARC has been a compromise.” EFSA says it isn’t. So it is not measuring “risk” or the likelihood of a person getting cancer from something. Others are more surprising: Also ranked as “Group 1 Carcinogens” are wood dust and Chinese salted fish. Therefore it ranks both substances in its top category of being carcinogenic. He said of the way IARC works: “It’s not good for science, it’s not good for regulatory agencies.IARC gives no view on the relative levels of risk of getting cancer from, say, plutonium or alcohol; what it does say is that there is clear evidence that both are capable of causing cancer. Yet experts from academia, industry and public health say IARC confuses the public and policymakers.Even the WHO, which oversees IARC, was caught off guard by the agency’s announcement that red and processed meat should be classified respectively as probable and known carcinogens. It was an ingredient in nylon used in stretchy yoga pants and toothbrush bristles. Straif told Reuters that the blame for any confusion lies with industry, activist groups and the media. That’s where problems arise.All the other 988 substances, however, pose some level of risk or need further research, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is an arm of the WHO. In the face of its critics, IARC steadfastly defends its methods and aims.

Else, a credible alternative to the new centre in Indian politics would remain a day dream. Jetty swears in Morarji Desai, leader of the Janata Party parliamentary party as Prime Minister to head the first non-Congress Union ministry on March 24, 1977.

That was the time when the Indian voter held her head high among the world community for throwing out an elected government and its leader, who started identifying herself with the nation, and coerced the political system into silence, let alone a whisper of dissent. But, the Janata period witnessed certain irreversible changes in India’s political history. The majoritarian religious answer to this was Mandir politics and of late, social re-engineering of caste combinations with high resonating Hindutva slogans with development as the sugar coating on these. JP, as he was popularly called, was put in solitary confinement in Chandigarh during the Emergency and was released on account of fragile health.But the events moved fast and opposition parties like Congress (O), Jan Sangh, Socialists and Bharatiya Lok Dal merged to form Janata Party and contested on the electoral symbol of Lok Dal, the farmer with a plough in a wheel. The wheel of political change was set in motion and several leaders from Congress, led by Jagjivan Ram, came out of the party and allied with Janata party. The pyramidal vote base of the Congress with upper castes at the top and Dalits at the bottom broke up and middle ranking communities became increasingly assertive as a vote base. In the short span of two years, during which the Janata remained in office, bickering over leadership continued unabated and finally led to the collapse of the government. The regime feared international political opinion turning adverse in the event of JP dying as a prisoner of conscience. This exercise was done by JP and Acharya J B Kripalani. This was implemented by V P Singh in 1990 and since then the electoral equations in the Gangetic plain changed substantially. The Janata’s counter narrative was magnetic and catchier, ‘Democracy v Dictatorship’ and ‘Bread with Liberty’. The country now needs an effective opposition. But 1977 was no ordinary election. Declaration and extension of Emergency was restricted by amending the Constitution.On the contrary, Janata Party had a number of leaders with Prime Ministerial ambitions.

However, you do get LED daytime running lamps placed along the front bumper though we’d have liked to it be bit brighter. Speaking of the upholstery, the fabric upholstery in the Kwid is sportier in contrast to the one in the redi-GO.56 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi) last year in September, but currently retails at Rs.But, this time round, the two new entry-level products from the Renault-Nissan alliance are radically different, despite sharing the same manufacturing site, mechanicals, and, more importantly, the Franco-Japanese conglomerate's CMF-A platform. Prices The Datsun redi-GO is set to be launched in the country in the first week of June.

Three hundred litres of boot space is what you usually find in hatches two segments above! The redi-GO is based on Datsun’s ‘Yukan’ design language, meaning ‘bold’ in Japanese. This makes the Kwid appear as if it might provide more space on the inside, but that isn’t the case and both cars have pretty much the same amount of real estate. But how do they compare in real life In case you haven’t been keeping a close tab on the international automotive scene, the name “Datsun” might not ring a bell immediately. Unlike the Kwid concept, the production-spec redi-GO stands true to its concept sans the LED lighting and alloys.So let’s put them under the scanner and see exactly how they differ, seeing as how closely priced to each other they are. Being the tallest in the segment makes for easy ingress and egress, much like the discontinued Hyundai Santro and the current Maruti Suzuki Wagon R.8-litre engine, and made by the same global alliance, the Renault Kwid and the Datsun redi-GO have a lot in common with each other. The Renault Kwid was launched at a price of Rs. Unlike the Datsun redi-GO, the Renault Kwid has several chrome highlights while almost the entire central console is finished in glossy black plastic. The highlight of the front is the Datsun’s signature grille. To begin with, you get partial body cladding in the Kwid including dual-tone bumpers, whereas the redi-GO offers no body cladding. It is evident that the redi-GO will undercut its French cousin marginally in the price department. Cabin and FeaturesJust as the exteriors, the interiors too are very different. The Renault Kwid’s cabin looks slightly premium compared to the Datsun redi-GO. It is also wider than the redi-GO and the protruding wheel arches exaggerate things further. However, where the Kwid scores is the boot space – it comes with a huge 300 litres of boot space compared to the redi-GO’s 222 litres.jpg So let’s put them under the scanner and see exactly how they differ, seeing as how closely priced to each other they are.33rd Day Of Lockdown Total Cases 26,283 1,835 China caster wheels Recovered .

Trio Afora means “the trio from outside”, as Alex, though Brazilian, is now “outside” as he lives in New York.  Recorded with a string quartet, the album is to be released maybe in September. I have huge respect for the Indian music tradition, both North and South, though its respect from a distance as I haven’t studied the genre. Amazingly, these talented musicians came together as a band in India, around 4 years ago, where each was part of a summer teaching faculty, at an institute near Chennai. I would love to hear some Live Indian classical music; we heard music at the Nizamuddin dargah last Thursday and it was amazing. The format will be, initially Trio Afora will perform tracks from their album; then they will invite Magos to join them on stage, and she will present several songs.

Magos Herrera has an over 20 year career in music.The concert will be about 90 minutes.Magos is today based in New York; she moved to NY about 10 years ago and she explained how while half her career was earlier in Mexico, she now recorded in NY. Her focus is on the music, the totality of the music presented.” (Fabio also plays the electric guitar). Fabio elaborated “not every singer allows that much space on stage; Magos treats her voice just as another instrument.”The musicians are in India as summer faculty at the Global Music Institute where they are teaching music arrangement, harmony, vocal and instrumental techniques till the end of July.Hosted by ICCR in conjunction with the Embassies of Brazil and Mexico, and supported by the Global Music Institute, Greater Noida, this cast iron wheels collaboration is not a first; the musicians have played together several times before; infact Magos has already recorded a track on Trio Afora’s album.The group has performed in Bangalore Delhi and Goa, and Magos confessed.

So far, the agency has taken a cautious approach — one that Google, in particular, says will stymie the technology.The DMV said cars must have a steering wheel in case onboard computers or sensors — including radar, lasers and cameras — fail.The agency now must write regulations on how to move from testing to public use, publishing its draft in December.Google has concluded that human error is the biggest risk in driving, and the company wants to remove the steering wheel and pedals from cars, giving people minimal ability to take over. Those collisions have been minor, and Google says each has been caused by other drivers.

The DMV has been overseeing prototype testing on California roads for more than a year. Companies that are developing self-driving cars of the future want government regulators to clear the road for public access to the technology, once it emerges from current prototype testing. A licensed driver would need to sit in the driver’s seat, ready to seize control in an emergency..On Thursday, DMV officials in Sacramento will hear from advocates and sceptics with strong opinions about precedent-setting draft regulations the agency released last month.

Autos Volkswagen teases Its new compact SUV T-Roc cast iron wheels Manufacturers AGE CORRESPONDENT Published: May 3, 2017, 12:38 pm IST Updated: May 3, 2017, 12:38 pm IST The T-Roc will go on sale in international market this year and it would be a good idea to bring this SUV in the country in 2018.We'll be happy to see the T-Roc in our showrooms. Because of the modularity of the platform, VW can stretch or shrink it to accommodate anything from a 2-door hatchback to a full-blown station waggon.

Although, the lack of off-road ability never stopped us from buying the front-wheel-drive Maruti Suzuki VitaraBrezza and the Ford EcoSport by the dozens. Along the same lines, the T-Roc will also pack a front-wheel drivetrain in lower trims, which works just fine in the urban jungle. Because the rules are simple: go small if you want to go big.Source: Zigwheels. You read that right. However, the teaser confirms VW's intentions of offering an all-wheel drivetrain, as they said in 2014. The latest teaser VW released shows the car wearing heavy camouflage on top of, what can safely be called, production-ready body panels.com. Powertrain options are still unknown, but a 2.The fact that the T-Roc employs VW's MQB platform makes it all the more likely to make it to India.
