Audi has unveiled the new Q3 Sportback, with a fresh look and a new interior. It follows the June launch of the technically identical third-generaiton Q3 SUV – one of the German car maker’s best selling models. Compared with that car, the Q3 Sportback differs only by a raked roof that is 29mm lower for a “sportier appearance”. Surprisingly, this doesn’t affect rear luggage space, which is rated at 488 litres. The Q3 Sportback features a new exterior design that significantly departs from its predecessor. It borrows many lighting elements from the new A6 Avant, including slimmed LEDs at the front and a similar…

To explain the downturn, executives have said that diners are “cautious,” in the words of Sweetgreen CEO Jonathan Neman, or dealing with an economic “fog,” according to Cava…

The Covid lockdown may have forced a lot of taxi drivers out of the trade, but Mo explains in the film that this was exactly the stimulus he needed to become one himself. With time on his hands, aged 17, he knuckled down to learning the Knowledge. Two years later, he’d passed all the tests but had to wait until he was 21 to get his licence. “I’m having the best time,” he says. Even the taxi driver who took me to Taxi House admits that, despite everything, he “loves” the job. Will McNamara be as sanguine? “We’ve had taxis since Cromwell’s…

As banks around the world prepare to replace many thousands of workers with AI, Australia’s biggest bank is scrambling to rehire 45 workers after allegedly lying about chatbots besting staff by handling higher call volumes.

It turns out, though, that the car buying public doesn’t care that much at all if what lives beneath, say, their Audi is similar to what lives beneath their Skoda. I’ve heard people say “it’s basically a Volkswagen underneath” about a Skoda to convince themselves they’ve got a well-engineered budget car. But I don’t think I’ve heard someone say the same about their Porsche Cayenne. They seem contented that Porsche has done extra work somewhere and that it was worth paying for. And since it turns out that few people seem to care either way, in my experience car makers today…

Musk claims that reporting caused so many brands to halt advertising that X’s revenue dropped by $1.5 billion, but advertisers…

I’m here, and in a Santa Cruz, because I’m looking for a better way to end the historic Route 66 driving tour, which runs from Chicago to Los Angeles, loosely following the passage taken by early pioneers travelling in search of a better life.

The proposed cut in goods and services tax (GST) rates is being welcomed by consumers, but companies across sectors are reporting a slowdown in sales as buyers wait for lower prices ahead of PM Modi’s Diwali gift promise.

Retailers say demand that usually picks up from Ganesh Chaturthi and Onam has remained muted this year, Times Of India (TOI) has reported. Many buyers are postponing purchases, expecting prices to fall once the GST Council finalises the rate cuts. “We are worried as the festive opening…

His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has introduced a new rate for claiming back the cost of using public chargers for drivers who use company-owned EVs. It follows criticisms that the single-tier system wasn’t matching what they were spending.

It’s the first time the Advisory Electric Rate (AER) has differentiated between those two costs. Both rates will be adjusted every quarter, using the weighted average efficiency for electric company cars over the last three years (currently…

MUMBAI: Exempting life and health insurance premiums from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) could leave policyholders paying less, but the move may also squeeze insurers’ margins and prompt them to rework pricing. A group of ministers has recommended entirely removing the current 18% GST on insurance. At first glance, this appears to be a direct saving for customers. But industry executives caution that insurers will lose input tax credit (ITC) on expenses such as commissions, rent, power, and telecom bills, which currently offset a part of their tax outgo. In protection products, commissions initially range between 35% and 40%…

The dissents The primary dissent was written by Chief Justice Roberts, and joined in part by the three Democratic appointees, Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor. It is a grand total of one paragraph, and can be distilled down to a single sentence: “If the District Court had jurisdiction to vacate the directives, it also had jurisdiction to vacate the ‘Resulting Grant Terminations.’” Jackson, however, chose to write a separate and far more detailed argument against the decision, mostly focusing on the fact that it’s not simply a matter of abstract law; it has real-world consequences.

The turning point for sustainability in bioprocessing Until recently, discussions about SUTs and sustainability were often confined…

Meghan Markle is subtly communicating her feelings about her Royal status through her daring fashion choices in the trailer for the upcoming second season of her Netflix show, says a style expert. In the trailer for “With Love, Meghan,” the Duchess of Sussex showcases her “quiet luxury” wardrobe filled with tailored essentials as she cooks alongside various celebrity guests. While Meghan has always been recognised for her impeccable fashion sense, a style expert suggests that her outfits for the Netflix series are conveying a message to the Royal family about her perspective on her Royal duties. This comes after Prince…

Since reducing costs was one of the Trump administration’s stated goals, and states are complying with that mandate, they have a fighting chance to get their updated plans approved even if they face challenges from SpaceX. The NTIA seems to be “motivated by its desire to be able to return a significant amount of the money Congress appropriated for the program to the US Treasury,” Levin wrote in an August 15 note to investors about SpaceX’s challenge in Virginia. The NTIA could return a large chunk of the $42 billion even if it doesn’t fully accept SpaceX’s argument. Levin predicted…

The logos of Walmart and Sam’s Club are pictured in Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico, January 30, 2025. Raquel Cunha | Reuters Walmart on Thursday raised its full-year earnings and sales outlook as its online business posted another quarter of double-digit gains, even as the company said costs are rising from higher tariffs. The big-box retailer topped Wall Street’s quarterly sales estimates. But the company said it felt pressure on profits for the period, including from some one-time expenses, such as restructuring costs, pricier insurance claims and litigation settlements. Walmart said it now expects net sales to grow between 3.75% to 4.75%…

This requires swiftly addressing non-tariff barriers and regulatory impediments, enhancing India’s exports to Russia in sectors like agriculture, pharma, and textiles will certainly help correct the imbalance…” He said India and Russia have been the steadiest of the major relationships in…

Blueberries are delicious on their own or as part of many common breakfast foods, like a yoghurt bowl or porridge. That’s why they are commonly found in many British households, usually in the fridge’s crisper drawer. However, ignoring some simple storage steps can lead to faster spoilage and even mould growth. Nathan Lyon, chef, cookbook author, and host of A Lyon in the Kitchen on Discovery Health, explained how exactly blueberries are best kept in an interview for Martha Stewart’s official website. The first thing to note is that blueberries should not be stored at room temperature. Two other important…

Court ruled broadband isn’t telecommunications Although the Obama-era FCC won on this point in the District of Columbia Circuit in 2016, a Supreme Court ruling in 2024 gave courts more power to block rules when judges disagree with an agency’s interpretation of federal statutes. Judges at the 6th Circuit subsequently decided that broadband must be classified as an “information service” under US law. “The 6th Circuit’s decision earlier this year was spectacularly wrong, and the protections it struck down are extremely important. But rather than attempting to overcome an agency that changed hands—and a Supreme Court majority that cares very…

When a minimalist brand launches in maximum city, you expect the contrast to jar. After all, there is nothing minimalist about India.

If you crank up the Wayback Machine and load the websites of today’s biggest managed security service providers (MSSPs), you’ll get a neat reminder of a time before the huge proliferation in services that we see today. Most providers offered only a handful of services then, compared to the dozens they do now. If that sounds like progress, I’m not so sure. In my view, the ambition of some managed service providers to be everything for everyone has watered down the overall quality of security services on the market. Not only is this bad for customers; it’s detrimental to…

The last days of the strawberry season are upon us, and if you want to make sure that the last few weeks of berry eating are perfect, you need to wash them properly. Strawberries can be sprayed with pesticides which can leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth. Even if you opt for organic strawberries, they still require a good rinse. This is due to the potential presence of soil, bugs or handling residue on them even if they haven’t been sprayed. However, strawberries are delicate, and if you try to clean them too aggressively you can bruise the fruit and…

Trump plan salvages CHIPS Act he vowed to kill While chipmakers wait for more clarity, Lutnick has suggested that Trump—who campaigned on killing the CHIPS Act—has found a way to salvage the legislation that Joe Biden viewed as his lasting legacy. It seems possible that the plan arose after Trump realized how hard it would be to ax the legislation completely, with grants already finalized (but most not disbursed). “The Biden administration literally was giving Intel money for free and giving TSMC money for free, and all these companies just giving the money for free, and Donald Trump turned it…

Vicki Pearson, strategic marketing manager at Schneider Electric, discusses how modern environmental monitoring and compliance systems help life sciences firms meet regulatory demands while improving efficiency and security. Today’s industries are increasingly competitive and regulated. Life science companies stake their reputations on their ability to provide regulators with data-intensive, assured, high-credibility reporting. Traceability of critical environmental variables like temperature, pressure, humidity, and organic and non-organic contaminates help validate the integrity and safety of life science manufacturing processes. This is the case from the raw materials phase to the finished and packaged goods phases. When firms submit incomplete or flawed environmental…

If you run a local business, your Yelp rating might be saying more about you than you think, and it might not be saying exactly what you want it to. Each day, millions of people turn to Yelp to decide where to eat, get their hair cut, or hire a plumber. In fact, Yelp reports that 2.5 million people visit the platform daily, and over half of them contact a business within 24 hours. That kind of traffic means your star rating isn’t just cosmetic, it’s commercial. So why is it that a business with fewer (and worse) reviews can…

Pure Storage’s recent launch of its Enterprise Data Cloud reignited debate around storage and data management.

The idea of a single management layer for storage is not new. Pure is not the only supplier looking to automate storage provision and management, where storage comes in “fleets”, and data management and governance take place across local, cloud and hybrid infrastructure. But while analysts agree Pure has a technical edge for now, most suppliers…

I’ll never forget the moment I met 93-year-old DeLoyce Alcorn. It was last fall and he was in the midst of his weekly workout at the Strength Shoppe in Echo Park. The retired aerospace engineer, then 92, was wearing a fitted T-shirt that read “Be Strong. Be Resilient. Be You” as he strapped himself into the leg press machine. Alcorn extended his legs, closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Then he began slowly, determinedly, pushing 312 pounds forward with his feet, completing multiple reps. (By contrast, I’m many decades younger and physically fit and currently push 220 pounds when leg-pressing.)…

Rob Abbenhuis, global head, corporate EHS and ESG, Ardena shares a risk-based approach to safe and efficient synthesis of HPAPIs. In recent years, drug discovery has seen a significant drive towards developing highly potent compounds, particularly in critical therapeutic areas like oncology, inflammatory diseases and antiviral treatments. These highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) offer the promise of effective therapies, often at very low doses, but they come with a unique set of challenges. While HPAPIs hold immense potential, their development in early stages is complicated by limited safety data and often unknown toxicology profiles. This inherent uncertainty means that…

Instead, they argue that the undisputed facts do not amount to a violation of the law. The Carriers also argue that the Commission misinterpreted the Communications Act, miscalculated the penalties, and violated the Seventh Amendment by not affording them a jury trial. Because the Carriers’ arguments lack merit, we deny the petitions for…

Leeks are frequently overlooked and disliked. They can turn mushy or tasteless when home cooks commit the cardinal sin of boiling them in water. Nevertheless, leeks are an adaptable vegetable, and with merely a slight adjustment in method, they can transform into an irresistible accompaniment. British chef and food blogger Jack Slobodian recommends abandoning the water and preparing leeks in an alternative and tastier way. He explained: “These creamed leeks are rich, flavourful, and incredibly easy to prepare using just one pot and five ingredients. Perfect as a side dish for roasts.” For serving, he suggests pairing the leeks with…

These sought-after regions are scientifically vital and geopolitically sensitive, as multiple countries want to build bases or conduct research there. Building infrastructure in these areas would cement a country’s ability to access the resources there and potentially exclude others from doing the same. Critics may worry about radiation risks. Even if designed for peaceful use and contained properly, reactors introduce new environmental and operational hazards, particularly in a dangerous setting such as space. But the UN guidelines do outline rigorous safety protocols, and following them could potentially mitigate these concerns. Why nuclear? Because solar has limits The Moon has little…

I’m told a television programme called You Bet! still exists, which some of you might remember from the 1980s, while some others among you might not quite believe existed. A contestant would come on – a scientist, perhaps – and tell a panel of celebrity judges that they reckoned they could do something unlikely, like tell the temperature of a jug of water to within half a degree centigrade, perhaps even more accurately, by dipping their nose in it. I’m fairly certain that example actually happened and I’m not making it up. The judges would then bet on whether said…

The duty free import authorization (DFIA) scheme, aimed at cutting input costs for exporters, is being misused by some companies, and it has turned into a “licence to loot” owing to a mix of vague policy definitions, lax enforcement, and judicial interpretations, economic think tank GTRI said on Sunday. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that the government should immediately intervene because if unchecked, DFIA misuse will destroy faith in India’s export incentive regime and drive honest exporters out of business. A forensic audit of licences issued in the past five years is urgently needed, alongside recovery of duties…

Musk claimed the request was to “ensure OpenAI was not being taken advantage of or corrupted by Microsoft,” but two weeks later, he appeared on national TV, insinuating that OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft was “improper,” OpenAI alleged.

When Rahul Vaidya noticed his 2019 Volkswagen Vento’s mileage drop from a steady 11-12 kmpl to just 7-8 kmpl, he initially blamed it on traffic.

The ride felt heavier, and the fuel gauge continued to hover near E faster than ever. After months of living with these issues, he finally took his car to the service centre. The diagnosis was swift – his car wasn’t E20-compliant. In case you…

Amid a sea of better-appreciated and well-appointed UK race tracks, Knockhill has a knack for holding its own. It is Scotland’s only FIA-approved track and is notorious for its narrow, complicated and steeply undulating twists and turns – and this coming weekend, it will host the seventh round of this season’s BTCC. I can’t wait. I think of it as the UK’s Laguna Seca: one of its corners, Duffus Dip, has a sharp downward gradient much like the Californian track’s Corkscrew. If you’ve never driven on it before, you will begin each lap with blind faith before negotiating the steep,…

Noting that its “project areas span from mountains and hills to farmland and coastal plains,” the DHCD said its previous experience with grant-funded deployments “revealed that tree canopy, rugged terrain, and slope can complicate installation and/or obstruct line-of-sight.” State officials said that wireless and low-Earth orbit satellite technology “can have signal degradation, increased latency, and reduced reliability” when there isn’t a clear line of sight. The DHCD said it included these factors in its evaluation of priority broadband projects. State officials were also apparently concerned about the network capacity of satellite services and the possibility that using state funding to…
