JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters)
Paying no heed to bemused onlookers, a group of women in the Saudi city of Jeddah marked International Women’s Day on Thursday March 8th by exercising one of their newly acquired freedoms: the right to go for a jog.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEtbcXWZtsE

Saudi women have had a momentous year as the young, reform-minded Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman lifted a number of key restrictions on their rights. Women can now attend football matches, partake in sports themselves and by the summer will be allowed to drive cars.

Saudi Arabia is still one of the most restrictive countries for women in the world. The deeply conservative kingdom has no women ministers and retains a guardianship system requiring women to have a male relative’s approval for important decisions.

But with even that being chipped away, it is hard to overstate how much Saudi women’s lives are being transformed.

In Jeddah’s historic district, smiling women wearing traditional full-length robes adapted for sports cheered and one even skipped with joy as they pounded through the sleepy alleys past puzzled shopowners.

The government introduced physical education for girls last year and began licensing women’s sports clubs, but Saudis are still coming around to women running in public.

“This is just the beginning of a revolution for women in Saudi Arabia. In jobs, in our lives, in society, everything is going to change for Saudi women,” said one of the joggers, university student Sama Kinsara.

Kinsara is studying film, a major she will be able to use at home this year as Saudi Arabia lifts a 35-year-old ban on cinemas.

Yasmine Hassan, a member of the Bliss Runners group organizing the event, said it was aimed at empowering women.

“This is a message that we would like to send them and say, ‘Come, you’re not alone, we will do this together and the time is now’”.

“Hopefully by next year there are going to be way more rights given to Saudi women, the ones that we deserve,”
she said.

Car Talk › Hyundai Recalls 43,941 Cars Because Steering Wheel May Detach While Driving by obafemee80(op): 4:27am On Mar 09, 2018

Hyundai is recalling nearly 44,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the steering wheel may detach from the steering column while the driving the vehicle, increasing the chance of a crash.

The recall covers 43,941 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport crossovers, covering 12,574 Santa Fe vehicles produced between June and December in South Korea, 13,749 Santa Fe Sports produced between July and October at Hyundai's Alabama plant and 17,618 Santa Fe Sports produced between August and October at Kia's Georgia plant.

Another 8,456 vehicles in Canada also were recalled for the potential defect.

The steering wheel assembly may break, which may result in the steering wheel detaching from the steering column while the vehicle is being driven, according to NHTSA's recall report. 

Hyundai said the vehicles may contain defective steering wheel assemblies from a certain suspect production lot from the supplier.

"The mold temperature may have increased during the molding process and therefore may have caused damage to certain steering wheel assemblies".

There have been no injuries or accidents linked to the defect, or incidents where the defect was discovered while a vehicle was in motion.

The news is useful to Nigerians, especially those that frequently import their cars from US and Canada.What do you think?

Car Talk › Pininfarina Reveal 653-hp Hydrogen Gas Powered Pininfarina H2 Speed Supercar by obafemee80(op): 3:09pm On Mar 08, 2018

Pininfarina's stunning H2 Speed Concept that was named the Best Concept at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show has returned to the same event two years later with the production version of the H2 Speed

Pininfarina said just 12 examples would be built, with the cars being targeted at speed and performance loving drivers who also respect the environment and exclusivity.A price tag of about $2.5 million has previously been hinted at by the company's execs.

The production version is expected to be a track-only model built on the chassis of an LMP2 race car and with a powertrain developed by GreenGT, which also provided the powertrain for the H2 Speed.

As with the concept, the production model features a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain as well as an LMP-evolved carbon-based chassis and steel frame.

The four electric synchronous motors together deliver 653 horsepower and are fed by a 250-kW fuel cell stack and a braking energy regeneration system.

Power is transmitted directly to the rear wheels, which means the H2 Speed has no clutch, shifter, or differential,only a torque vectoring system. Factor in the 1,420-kg curb weight and you get impressive performance levels.

0 to 0-62 mph(100 km/h ) happens in 3.4 seconds, and top speed is 300 km/h (186 mph). Contrary to fully-electric vehicles, there's no downtime as refueling the hydrogen tank takes just three minutes.

Since it's designed to run only on racetracks, the H2 Speed rides on Michelin Pilot Sport GT 59M (dry) or Pilot Sport GT P2L (wet) racing tires.

The interior is rich in exposed carbon fiber and features a racing steering wheel, Sabelt super light monocoque seats with six-point Formula 1 seat belts, and a dashboard covered with black Alcantara with red stitching.

Pininfarina is yet to announce when the first example customer example of the H2 Speed will be ready.

TV/Movies › Records & Milestone Set By BlackPanther After 17days,As It Nears N324b Worldwide by obafemee80(op): 10:15am On Mar 06, 2018
[img]https:///a/img923/500/2YvpJm.jpg[/img]

This weekend, Marvel Studio’s blockbuster,  Black Panther,made another $65m.In north America ,the film has now raked in over $500m and $900m (N324B) worldwide after just 17 days in theatres, making it the 10th highest-domestic-grossing movie in history.

Here are some other records set by Black panther movie

Highest-grossing solo/non-sequel superhero movie:
With $501 million in North America and $897m worldwide, Black Panther has passed Fox's Deadpool ($363m/$783m in 2016), Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman ($413m/$821m in 2017) and Sony's Spider-Man ($403m/$821m in 2002) to become the biggest non-sequel and non-ensemble superhero flick of all time. Everything else in this genre is either a team flick or a solo sequel. And even that’s not a very long list.

Biggest superhero movie without a Batman or an Iron Man:
Now that Walt Disney's Black Panther has passed the likes of Wonder Woman and Spider-Man 3, it is officially the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time, in North America and worldwide, that doesn’t feature either Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark. And yeah, it will soon pass The Dark Knight in North America and both Chris Nolan Dark Knight sequels worldwide to become the biggest comic book flick worldwide that doesn’t feature Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark. Heck, if it gets past Iron Man 3 ($1.2b in 2013), then Chadwick Boseman can officially be anointed Earth’s Mightiest Hero.

Second-biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe grosser in North America:
This one pretty much speaks for itself. Black Panther has outearned (in North America) every previous MCU movie save for the first Avengers.


Biggest third-weekend gross for a non-holiday weekend:
Since both Avatar and Star Wars: The Force Awakens benefited from New Year’s Day falling on their third respective Fridays (and the general boost afforded to Christmas season releases), Black Panther technically has the biggest third-weekend gross that wasn’t part of a holiday.

Third-highest superhero movie in North America:
Sans inflation, Black Panther’s $501 million domestic total puts it past The Dark Knight ($448m in 2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron ($458m in 2015). That means, among all superhero movies, it sits behind only Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.'s The Dark Knight ($534m in 2008) and The Avengers ($623m in 2012). It’ll pass the Chris Nolan superhero sequel sometime this weekend and it’s a coin toss as to whether it’ll take the gold or settle for the silver. At this point, it feels inevitable, but I don’t want to set up a situation where $615m feels like a disappointment.

Seventh-biggest superhero movie ever worldwide:
The Ryan Coogler-directed superhero drama has some work to do overseas to catch up with the top-tier superhero films worldwide. That the film is making a lot more in North America than overseas is merely indicative of the fact that it’s vastly overperforming in North America. Like Wonder Woman and the last few Star Wars movies, a domestic overperformance does not equal an overseas underperformance. The film will cross $900 million worldwide today, and it now sits behind only The Dark Knight ($1 billion), The Dark Knight Rises ($1.1b), Captain America: Civil War ($1.1b), Iron Man 3 ($1.2b), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4b) and The Avengers ($1.5b)

Third-biggest third weekend gross:
As of this writing, Black Panther’s $65.7 million third-weekend gross is the third-biggest such Fri-Sun frame, not adjusted for inflation, behind only Avatar ($68m in 2010) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($90m in 2016). Now those estimates could go up, but even if they go down it’s way ahead of the $55.6m third-weekend gross of The Avengers in May of 2012. And if you want to play the inflation card, it’s still the fourth-biggest third weekend ever behind Spider-Man ($45m in 2002/$71m adjusted), Avatar ($68m/$79m), and The Force Awakens ($90m/$96m).

Third-fastest grossing movie ever (so far):
With $501 million in North America after 17 days, Black Panther has the third-biggest 17-day total ever, behind only Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($517m) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($742m). Both of those titles had the above-noted Christmas/New Years advantage. And if you adjust for inflation, it’s still ahead of everything save for Force Awakens, Last Jedi, The Dark Knight ($393m in 2008/$503m adjusted) The Avengers ($457m in 2012/$517m adjusted) Jurassic World ($500m in 2015/$556m adjusted).

Fifth-biggest “day 15” Friday gross:
In the realm of third-Friday grosses, Black Panther’s $16.3 million earnings puts it in fifth place among the “day 15” single day grosses, behind only the last three Star Wars movies ($18m for Rogue One, $19m for The Last Jedi and $34m for The Force Awakens) and Avatar ($25.2m in 2010). Again, as you’ll note, Black Panther is essentially playing better than any movie in recent history that wasn’t boosted by the year-end holiday advantage.

Second-biggest “day 16” Saturday gross:
Black Panther jumped 84% on Saturday last weekend, earning another $30.018 million on its 16th day of domestic release. That gives it the second-biggest such single day gross of all time, behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which earned $34.3m on its third Saturday on Jan. 2, 2016.

Second-biggest “day 17” Sunday gross:
As of this writing, Black Panther earned $19.383 million on its third Sunday, giving it the second-best “day 17” Sunday gross ever, behind only the $21.4m gross of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Jan. 3, 2016.

Tenth (or ninth?)-biggest domestic grosser of all time:
As of this writing, Black Panther sits between Finding Dory ($486 million in 2016) and Beauty and the Beast ($504m in 2017). But let’s be honest, by the time you read this there is a good chance that the Chadwick Boseman/Lupita Nyong’o/Michael B. Jordan flick will have passed the Emma Watson/Dan Stevens musical to become the tenth-biggest domestic earner of all time. Next on the chopping block are Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ($532m in 2016/2017) and The Dark Knight ($534m in 2008). If you want to note inflation, it’s currently in 87th place but should move into the top 80 today.

Third-biggest Oscar day gross:
Black Panther's $19.383 million gross on this past Sunday is the biggest gross for any movie on Oscar Sunday (or Oscar Monday) save for the opening Sunday grosses of Alice  in Wonderland ($31m on Sunday for a $116m debut weekend in 2010) and The Passion of the Christ ($27.8m on Sunday for an $83m Fri-Sun/$125m Wed-Sun debut) in 2004.

Car Talk › Ford Self-driving Cars Are Now Delivering Domino Pizzas Across Miami by obafemee80(op): 4:41pm On Mar 01, 2018

Self-driving cars, once strictly the domain of science fiction, are already being commercialized.

A year on from its $1 billion investment in artificial intelligence company Argo A.I., Ford has started testing its self-driving technology on the sunny streets of Miami.

The automaker is keen to test a range of business models with its autonomous kit, starting with delivery partnerships with Domino's Pizza and Postmates, before digging deeper into its ridesharing ambitions that could involve the launch of a fully autonomous vehicle in 2021.

It turns out Ford wasn't kidding when it announced last summer that it would be teaming up with Domino's to trial a self-driving pizza delivery service, because the automaker on Wednesday said its self-driving cars are already on the streets of Miami and Miami Beach delivering pizzas, and more cities are to follow.

Randomly selected customers are offered the chance to have their pizzas delivered by one of the cars, and if they choose to participate they'll receive text-message instructions as the car approaches on how to retrieve their pizza pie.

A unique code will unlock the storage compartment, which is heated so that the pizza stays warm. But the pizza is no longer brought to your door,someone has to go out and fetch it.

An engineer is still behind the wheel at all times to take over in case of an emergency,but ford will launch its non driver assisted self-driving cars without a steering wheel or pedals in 2021.

Car Talk › See How Much Water Is Trapped In Your Car After Driving Through Flooded Areas by obafemee80(op): 5:47am On Mar 01, 2018

A Car owner reveals how large amounts of water can get trapped in vehicles. And while it would seem hard to believe that much water could actually seep through the tight window and interior panels seals, the amount of liquid these would-be water tanks actually store is incredible.

Water gets trapped after an heavy rain or if the vehicle drives through flooded areas.Not only can the trapped water cause body panels to rust and wear away, it can also add unnecessary weight to your car which could increase braking distances, make handling worse and even cause you to burn through more fuel.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTJf7rjIQC8&persist_app=1&app=m

The owner of the Volkswagen Touareg featured in this video noticed a funny sound coming from his car and realised that it was water trapped in a frame at the bottom of a door.

He can be seen scraping at the plugs on the rocker panel, which have become clogged with dirt and debris.After freeing a hole in the plug on the underside of the panel near the front tyre, the waterworks begin.

What looks like small steady stream continues for a full minute, allegedly draining around 7 litres of water that has been trapped within the door panels.

Other sections of your motor are also at risk of filling up with water if they aren't properly maintained. Cowl drains, located just in front of the windscreen, are easily clogged with leaves and debris, making them a major problem area for water storage.

If too much water gets stuck inside these, it can seep into the car's footwell and wreak havoc on the interior electrics of your motor.
This issue can affect any car, which is why it is important for drivers to always keep up to date with regular maintenance.

Checking the underneath of your car for dirt and debris, and making sure all plug holes remain clear of blockages will save you from potentially costly water damage and repair bills.
