Class apart
The Mercedes E-class has forever been the fancy of the middle-aged executive, but all that could change now with the Coupe version of the same. Head on, the Coupe looks sporty thanks to the large Avantgarde grille it sports. Also, the swept back roof leaves it looking lower and sporty. But, it looks fantastically beautiful in profile accentuated of course by the flowing coupe roof line. The pillarless doors further add to this effect.Inside, you are immediately surrounded by luxury. The tan and black colour combo looks classy, the seats are supportive and feature a new look with integrated but adjustable headrests. The dash and instrument panel remain similar to the E-class, but the steering is new and gets thumb grips and controls. All buttons are placed within the thumb’s reach. There’s a panoramic sunroof too. At the back, the Coupe offers space for two and even a centre console with cupholders and stowage. The boot is generous, very unlike coupes, and gets 60:40 split rear seats.Start her up and the super smooth V6 comes to life with a throaty roar before settling down almost immediately to a purr. Drive her smoothly and you are unlikely to hear the 272 bhp engine but the moment you put your foot down there’s an improvement in the sound and the coupe accelerates to 100 kmph rapidly. Although progress is brisk, the power delivery is linear and smooth. Indeed you will only realise that you are cruising at 140 kmph when you look at the speedometer. The 7G-tronic transmission though isn’t as sharp as we would have liked and while things do get better in Sport mode, the shift speed isn’t what is expected of a car with sporty intentions.The ride on the Coupe isn’t harsh or unnecessarily stiff. In fact, the car soaks up undulations rather easily. However, when you indulge in some sporty driving it stiffens up, offering better handling characteristics. The steering too is speed sensitive and that means it becomes light at slow speeds making it easier to negotiate crowded city roads. But as you build up speed it feels heavier and offers good feedback which helps in keeping the car in control. Rather handy if you get twisties on your route. The E-class Coupe is targeted at a young audience who want something exciting and want to stand out in a crowd. What the Merc offers them is devoid of the ‘baggage’ found in most two doors. It’s got ample ground clearance, a short turning circle and even a cavernous boot. The car is also decently spacious. But this is one E-class you want to be driving rather than be driven around in; a Coupe after all is one of the biggest style statements you can make on city roads.Price Rs 54.8 lakh, ex-showroom, MumbaiOn the road: From Arvidsjaur to ARjeplog, SwedenArjeplog is in the back of beyond, close to the Arctic Circle. To get to this rather obscure place in Sweden, one needs to first take a flight to Stockholm and then take another flight to another slightly less obscure town called Arvidsjaur. From Arvidsjaur to Arjeplog it takes about two hours of driving. But why would anyone want to go there? Arjeplog is home to numerous lakes that freeze during the rather harsh winter. As a result it becomes the perfect base to conduct winter testing of cars. Numerous people from the automotive world undertake this trip to occupy a lake each so that they can conduct the winter testing of their cars. Invited by Audi to be part of their Ice Experience, we, too, undertook the same trip. It’s quite an experience driving on the slippery surface that is ice. Sliding is the most natural thing on earth when one is driving on ice. Obviously, when done correctly, it’s a lot of fun too. For this one road trip then, awesome is a word too mild.-Yogendra PratapHarley Davidson Ultra classic electra glideIt’s big, it’s bad, it’s a bagger, is the Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Now ‘big’, as you can see, the Ultra Classic is, sitting on a 1,625 mm wheelbase. But it’s the weight of the motorcycle–at 400 kg–that really makes the ‘big’ difference for a motorcyclist. As for the ‘bad’ bit, well, that’s again down to the rider in question. And touring motorcycles rarely get better than the Ultra Classic Electra Glide.The moment you get into the saddle there’s a sense of plushness that you only expect in expensive cars. The seats are big and with just the right support for the back and thigh. The instrumentation is huge and displays speed, engine rpm, fuel level, outside air temperature (in Fahrenheit, however) and even battery charge. Then you get a stereo with four speakers and a CD player, cruise control and ABS.Get the heavy beast off the side stand (with some effort), slot it into first and twist open the throttle and what follows is an unadulterated rush of torque. With the Ultra’s new Twin Cam V-twin that displaces 1584 cc, the torque spread is more linear and healthy lower down the rev range.

Australia had little choice but to regret their decision not to force England to bat again after the tourists took the second Ashes Test into a fifth day, bowling coach David Saker conceded on Tuesday.Australian captain Smith could have enforced the follow-on when England made 227 in reply to Australia’s 442/8 declared on Monday but decided to send his openers out to face England’s attack in the night session.A resurgent England bowling unit make early inroads under the Adelaide lights and finished the job in the sunshine on Tuesday, dismissing the Australians for 138.?????? #Ashes pic.twitter.com/RB0donjhY8- cricket.com.au (@CricketAus) December 5, 2017Only South Africa captain Dudley Nourse against Australia in 1950 had previously lost a Test after failing to enforce the follow-on but Smith could join him with England 178 runs from victory with six wickets in hand.”In hindsight it probably is (a regret),” Saker told reporters.”There’s probably different reasons why you’d go out and have a bat. One, is to give your bowlers a rest but it’s also to give the opposition bowlers another go because it’s a five-game series and it can have an impact if you get some overs in them.”We probably didn’t think it was going to move around like it did. It was tough but Jimmy (Anderson) was magnificent.”Anderson took 5/43 in Australia’s second innings after getting the pink ball moving and England captain Joe Root marshalled the run chase with 67 not out.Saker, who spent five years as England bowling coach, said Australia were still in a strong position to take a 2-0 lead in the series.advertisement”I’m confident tomorrow morning, if it’s a nice day, our bowlers can still get the job done,” he said.”I’d back them to get the job done more often than not in those conditions.”Australia will have to do it without any DRS referrals, however, after Smith used up both the unsuccessful reviews each team is allowed in each innings on Tuesday.Two reviews burned in three balls, not ideal…#Ashes pic.twitter.com/TJLMZ7ulOR- cricket.com.au (@CricketAus) December 5, 2017″We got it wrong today without a doubt,” Saker added. “It’s frustrating not to have any in the bank going into the last day.”Saker said Smith would not be dwelling on the failed referrals nor the decision not to enforce the follow-on.”He’s a very determined guy so he’ll think about things tonight and make sure when we turn up we’ll be right to play,” he said.”He’s obviously frustrated about with what’s happened but I don’t think he’s ruing the decision. I think he’ll be positive tomorrow and the whole dressing-room will be positive we’re in a better position than they are.”

The craft beer movement is huge in London right now. I mean, really huge. So local craft beer connoisseurs rejoiced when Clapton Craft opened in East London earlier this year. The store, founded by William Jack and Tom McKim, has already gained a loyal following of regulars who can’t get enough of the fine brewed produce and the growlers – just to clarify, a growler is a large bottle that can be refilled over and over again by the beer of your choosing.The Manual caught up with the guys to talk shop and bottles for all occasions.How’s business been so far this summer?Good! We got a taste of what the fine weather would mean for us with a few hot days in Spring. Thankfully people also love a beer when the weathers rubbish . . .Can you remember your first introduction to the craft beer movement? Will: I did an internship for a New Zealand micro brewery called Limburg back in 2005 when I was in my last year of high school. They made an NZ hopped pale ale called ‘Hopsmacker’ which I’d get refills of direct from the brewery. The brewer was really into Lambics and Belgian styles too so I started getting into these.How was Clapton Craft born?We’d been discussing the potential for a beer specialist for a while and in the middle of last year decided it was viable and we started looking for a location. We had both lived in or around Clapton for years and decided Lower Clapton Road would be the area of focus. It was then a matter of scraping together some capital, planning, designing and executing. We did just about everything ourselves, from gutting the premises, taking out walls and plastering and painting. There was plenty of swearing, late nights, asthma and lots of stock went missing.The store opened at a time when people seem to care so much more about what they’re eating and drinking. Any thoughts on how this shift has come about?It’s probably due to a number of factors – health, environmental, education and taste, but I also think that Londoners, or people that live in London, are increasingly proud of their city and are keen to improve it. I think beer is a great example because it’s been so essential to peoples lives forever and it really suffered from the industrialization of the industry. Many of the beer styles are just replicas of old recipes, just with the bonus of New World hops and a huge dose of creativity and freedom.Tell us about the growler concept.Pretty simple, we sell 1.89 litre glass Growlers or 1 litre plastic bottles which customers can come back and have refilled with any one of 8 different beers. We use a counter pressure filling system, which means the beer stays fizzy and fresh for up to 6 weeks from filling.What is the single best thing about craft beer?It’s delicious.What kind of beer would you recommend for the following…1. A BBQ –Beef – Black IPA or PorterLamb – Belgian Dubbel or better still a Flemish SourPork/Chicken – Saison or Farmhouse IPAFish/Veg – Hefewizen, Session IPA, Berliner WeisseThe best thing about beer though is that it’s pretty flexible with food and if you get it wrong you can move on to something else fairly quickly . . .2. A night in with friends –A bit of everything, save the double IPAs til’ later, they really do ruin your palate3. A whisky chaser –Rye IPAThanks guys!

The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Federal Conservative, Liberal and Green parties all boasted record fundraising hauls as they headed into an election year, but the New Democrats continued to struggle to raise money.According to financial returns filed with Elections Canada, the Conservatives raked in $7.4 million in the last three months of 2018 — the best fourth quarter result the party has ever recorded. That puts their total for last year at $24.3 million, the party’s best ever haul in a non-election year.The governing Liberals were close behind, pulling in $6.4 million in the last three months of 2017 — their best fourth quarter result in a non-election year. Overall last year, the party pulled in $16.6 million.Even the Greens were able to make their own fundraising history. They brought in almost $1.5 million in the last three months of the year for a total annual take of $3.1 million — representing the party’s best fourth quarter ever and best overall non-election year haul.By contrast, the NDP pulled in $1.97 million in the last three months of 2018, its lowest fourth quarter result in eight years. The party took in just under $5.2 million for the entire year, only slightly better than the dismal $4.9 million the NDP raised in 2017, which represented its worst yearly result since 2011.The results are a far cry from 2015, an election year in which the NDP was thought to be a real contender for power. The party raked in $18.6 million that year.

AS THE FIRST winter snows fell on Bulgaria this week, thousands of refugees crammed into makeshift camps — many of them Syrians fleeing fighting in their country — are rueing that Europe is not the haven they had hoped.“If they keep us living in this tent in the snow, I’d rather go back to the war,” Abd Al Jalil Bonja fumed at the Harmanli refugee camp in southeastern Bulgaria.“We thought Bulgaria was the European Union, a normal country like Germany, France, Italy,” he complained to AFP as his wife and four children huddled around a stove in a leaking military tent they shared with another family of five.“If we knew what we would find, we never would have come here.”Over 11,100 refugees, most of them Syrians, have entered Bulgaria illegally this year, crossing the porous 274-kilometre border with Turkey.That may be a drop in the ocean compared to the two million refugees sheltering in Syria’s neighbouring countries, but they are overwhelming the European Union’s poorest nation.Bulgaria’s three refugee facilities were quickly overfilled. Authorities hastily opened four more shelters in dilapidated former schools or deserted army camps, like the one in Harmanli, where 1,254 Syrian and Afghan refugees are registered.On an AFP visit of the Harmanli camp, thick black smoke from improvised stoves filled the area, as children waded barefoot in freezing puddles and their mothers cooked on open fires outside rows of khaki tents and metal containers.Coughing could be heard everywhere. Many complained about not being able to get simple medicine or proper treatment for chronic illnesses.The camp’s inhabitants are not allowed to leave except to buy food, which is not provided by the cash-strapped Bulgarian government. They are given no money either, forking out whatever they still have to pay for bread and potatoes, the cheapest foods available.Samia Juju, 26, holds her baby seven-month-old baby Lavan at the Harmanli camp [Valentina Petrova/AP/Press Association Images]Bulgaria is taking urgent measures to stem the flow.Hundreds of extra soldiers and police, equipped with thermal imaging cameras, have been deployed to stop migrants bypassing border posts.Defence Minister Angel Naydenov said the extra patrols had already cut the number of asylum-seekers making it through.Also planned is the construction of a three-metre high fence with razor-wire coils along 33 kilometres of the border.“I have absolute confidence that we will manage to contain the refugee crisis in all its aspects,” Interior Minister Tsvetlin Yovchev told reporters near the border area.Yovchev, who is also deputy prime minister, said refugee claim processing would be sped up, the capacity of the crammed shelters would be increased, and immigrants deemed to have arrived for purely economic reasons would be more quickly deported.[Valentina Petrova/AP/Press Association Images]Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders last week slammed the conditions at Harmanli as “inhumane” and “appalling”.The government reacted by stepping up preparations to move people from tents into adjacent dilapidated buildings under repairs.But the inhabitants, forced to share just a few toilets and to strip wood from the buildings to make fires for heat, are in despair.“Animals live better than us. But what is worse is that we are forgotten here without any hope,” said Abdul Alghni, 35, who used to be a lawyer in the Syrian city of Aleppo.He fled to seek a new life for his wife and two small children but complained of being trapped in a limbo without money and without an idea when and if they could have their refugee status claims processed.“Everybody here wants documents so they can leave,” he said.“I don’t want to stay here. I want to go to Germany where I have a brother,” 32-year-old Siawash Askary from Herat in Afghanistan agreed, hugging his sleeping two-month-old baby boy.“We understand that the government here is very poor. What we don’t understand is why they don’t tell us ‘Look, we are poor, we can’t help you’,” said Jamil.“Give us the (asylum status) documents and send us to Europe, or even send us back to Turkey,” he appealed.© – AFP 2013Read: Rain puts ‘fear in the eyes of children’ in the PhilippinesRead: Pacific islander loses bid to become world’s first ‘climate change refugee’
Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) in Cherry Hill, NJ has been working on a new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) called the Samarai Micro Air Vehicle. It’s flight is based on how a maple seed descends and uses a single-wing design that requires only two moving parts.Where as the maple seed only descends and does not control its own direction, ATL has improved upon the design to allow for controlled flight. The benefit of Samarai is how simple it is, which translates to it also being very cheap to produce. Other benefits include its vertical take off and landing, as well as having the ability to throw it in the air before applying power, as it will just gently fall like its equivalent seed. In terms of size it’s less than 40cm long and weighing under 200 grams making it very easy to carry around.That size and weight is just the beginning though, and because the design is so simple ATL plans to reduce its dimensions considerably. Their ultimate goal? A Samarai no bigger than your fingertip equipped with a camera.There’s a way to go before that happens, but ATL has just shown off the first working prototype of the Samarai publicly during the AUVSI Unmanned Systems conference this week. As you can see in the video above, it is possible to maintain fine control over the flight of the Samarai, but learning to fly this single-rotor vehicle is meant to be quite challenging at the moment.Obviously flight control needs to be as simple as possible, so ATL is hoping to get it working with a touchscreen device running an OS like Android that also gives control over the on-board camera too.Samarai is set to end up in the backpacks of soldiers if ATL can miniaturize it to the point where it becomes a pack-and-forget device. Its ability to be thrown in the air with a few minutes of flight possible on a single charge, coupled with the addition of a camera, could make it an invaluable quick surveillance tool on the battlefield.Read more at Popular Mechanics and Lockheed Martin
Seven in ten Greeks are dissatisfied with their lives and feel let down by the country’s two main political parties while a third would not vote for any of the five parties in Greece’s Parliament, a new poll revealed this week.According to the survey carried by polling firm Public Issue on a sample of 1,006 citizens in the first week of July, 65 per cent of respondents said they trusted neither ruling PASOK nor the main conservative opposition New Democracy to run the country. Another 25 per cent said they think PASOK is the best party to lead the country while only 4 percent said they would want ND in power.Still, eight out of ten respondents said they were unhappy with the work of the PASOK administration, which has focused on pushing through a raft of austerity measures since it came to power last October.Nine out of ten said they were unhappy with ND, which has been riven with internal disputes since last November when Antonis Samaras was elected party leader. A third of respondents said they would prefer a coalition government while another 17 per cent wants a government representing all the parties in Parliament.As regards the popularity of political leaders, Prime Minister George Papandreou has seen his support decline by three percentage points, to 40 per cent, while Antonis Samaras has dropped 4 percentage points to 19 per cent. A third of respondents said they would want neither of the two in the role of Prime Minister.In one of the most shocking findings, a third (35.5 per cent) of the poll’s respondents said that if elections were held today, they would either boycott the vote or cast a blank ballot.

An unnamed Chinese club have been reportedly in negotiations with Manchester United over signing Marouane Fellaini.The 31-year-old midfielder has been at Old Trafford since the summer of 2013 after his former Everton boss David Moyes signed him for £27.5m on deadline day.Fellaini has been an ever-present figure in the United squad under Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.The Belgium international has only managed 31 minutes of action under interim coach Ole Gunner Solskjaer since replaced Mourinho on December 18.This is due to a calf injury Fellaini sustained in training with Solskjaer revealing on January 18 that the midfielder will likely be out for a “few weeks”.But Sky Sports reports that Fellaini’s time at United may be coming to a quicker an anticipated end after an approach from an unnamed Chinese club.Apparently, United and this club are locked in negotiations right now over Fellaini’s transfer to the Far East.This comes as a big surprise given that he only signed a new two-year deal last summer after allowing his original contract to run out at the end of last season.
Liverpool legend Nicol slams Harry Maguire’s Man United form Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Steve Nicol believes Harry Maguire has made some “horrendous mistakes” recently, and has failed to find his best form since joining Manchester United.Despite the English transfer window closing on Thursday, neither United or this unnamed club will be in a hurry to conclude a deal with the Chinese Super League deadline set until February 28.Speaking in a press conference on Monday, Solskjaer had suggested that there would be no departures from Old Trafford come Thursday.“At the moment, I can see everyone staying at the club because no deal has been done with anyone I think, but then again there is still a few more days,” said Solskjaer.“But I am not too involved in the negotiations so whatever happens, happens. It will be good to get the window closed so we can just focus on the squad and just improving the ones that stay here.”Fellaini has managed 22 goals and 12 assists in 177 appearances for United across all competitions.The Belgian has won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, Europa League and Community Shield in his five and a half years at the Red Devils.Should a move to China go ahead, Fellaini will join his Belgium team-mate Mousa Dembele after he left Tottenham for Guangzhou R&F earlier this month.
