When Volvo told me that “it’s our vision that no one should be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo car", I was so intrigued…

Every year about 1.35 million people are killed in roadways* around the world, and here’s a car that is really going the extra mile to save lives.

Beyond being the inventors of the three-point safety belt that we use today (interesting story actually, I’ll save it for another day), the new Volvo cars have many safety features, and here are some that BLOW MY MIND

1. This car has a feature called “Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake” and does exactly what it sounds like it does - it can detect pedestrians (they have a whole seperate detection system for animals by the way) crossing the road, and will automatically pull the brakes on the car if the driver doesn’t.
2. My favourite feature is the "Lane Keeping Aid" — when I have this feature activated, my car sends a polite warning when the car drifts off a lane unintentionally. If I forget to signal when changing lanes, the steering wheel gently vibrates and kindly steers me back..
3. Adaptive Cruise Control - now this function really makes me feel like we're heading into a driver-less future!! When activated, the car will detect the speed of the car ahead and adapts it to its own speed with a time interval to keep some distance. This is a kind of semi-autonomos driving that comes in super handy during traffics because it gives your feet some time to rest (haven’t tried this yet because the roads are so clear, but I will one day!)

And ! Get this — Volvo shares their safety research in their online E.V.A. database which anyone can download. So kind 💙

In the spirit of now, just wanna wish you all the safest of the times 💙 keeping ourselves and each other safe is the kindest of things we can do.

某星期同 @icantst0peating 食的 impromptu 早餐, 由牛雜開始 🐃🙈. 又係晨早唔去啲部位會賣哂. This shop is famous many years for their Fresh Beef Innards, also Meat in Central. They are one of the rare shops which get allocated the best parts of fresh slaughtered local cows/steers, by a famous butcher.

•牛脆骨. 其實同骨無關, 只係佢食落爽脆 🤣🤣 Trachea Windpipe. A relative & next part to 牛天梯. With mixed Beef Innards. Very good fresh parts, surprisingly the soup for this tasted much better than the next bowl 🥣. Usually you cannot order Mixed between Innards & Meat here 水記牛雜同牛腩不嬲無得雙拼, so u won't notice the difference unless u order both at same time 🤔

•牛爽腩. 味道新鮮正常, 今次無話特別好食唔好食. 反而今次去個湯底比起牛雜個湯唔得, 無牛香之餘, 仲食得出有師傅味 (平時好少覺) Oh well. That's life 🤷🏻‍♂️

MEL GIBSON TỰ NHẬN “KHÔNG ĐỦ TƯ CÁCH” BÀN VỀ CHÍNH TRỊ

Trong chương trình truyền hình The Ingraham Angle, nam diễn viên, đạo diễn Mel Gibson đã có những chia sẻ về tác phẩm Braveheart, dự án tương lai Fatman, những tác động của đại dịch COVID-19 và cả lý do vì sao ông không phát ngôn về chính trị.

Về vấn đề chính trị, ông khẳng định bản thân không muốn thể hiện rõ mình theo phía nào và giải thích luôn vì sao không phát ngôn ở lĩnh vực này: “Ai lại đi quan tâm tôi nghĩ gì chứ? Tôi không phải chuyên gia - Tôi có tư cách gì để nói về nó?”

Trước đó, vào năm 2016, trong cuộc phỏng vấn với Extra, khi được hỏi về cuộc đua giữa Donald Trump và Hillary Clinton, nam diễn viên 64 tuổi trả lời đơn giản: “Chuyện đó sẽ diễn ra thế nào sao? - Thì một trong hai người họ sẽ thắng thôi”.

Tương tự, vào năm 2019, trong một cuộc phỏng vấn cùng với Brad Pitt, nam diễn viên kì cựu Anthony Hopkins chia sẻ về chính trị: “Người ta hay hỏi tôi về hiện trạng cuộc sống, và tôi nói: ‘Tôi không biết, tôi chỉ là một diễn viên thôi. Tôi chẳng có ý kiến gì cả. Diễn viên thì khá là ngớ ngẩn. [Nên] Ý kiến của tôi chẳng có giá trị gì đâu”.

There is a crazy flu going around and we all need to be careful. Make sure we wash our hands, stay away from crowded areas and protect ourselves by getting the flu shot. Baby is still very young so he can get exposed to many things so we wanna make sure he steers clear from it. Spending time with my baby as much as I can before heading out to work for the weekend. Prepped all his meals and cleaned up the place nicely to make it comfy cozy for both my boys.

เปิดตัว All-New 2020 Toyota Corolla Altis Sedan (โตโยต้า โคโรลล่า อัลติส ซีดาน) เวอร์ชั่นอเมริกา เฉพาะชาวอเมริกัน

CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. (Nov. 15, 2018) -- With more than 46 million Toyota Corollas sold globally since its introduction in 1966, it would be difficult to find a driver who did not recognize the name. Everyone, it seems, has a Corolla story. Many, though are going to be doing double takes when they see the re-imagined and reconfigured 2020 Toyota Corolla sedan. And that’s exactly the point.

The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla made its arrival in two chapters: the all-new Corolla hatchback arrived earlier this year, and now comes the current best-selling Corolla body style, the sedan. Both are based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), which is far more than a new body structure, bringing together new approaches to engineering, design, assembly, and materials.

TNGA transforms both Corolla styles into drivers’ delights while also bolstering the model’s renowned value and reliability. Both draw from the same DNA and share powertrains. It’s no surprise, then, that the 2020 Corolla sedan dramatically elevates this model’s focus on comfort and refinement while also infusing it with the Corolla hatchback’s feisty personality.

The Corolla sedan’s bold new look is a perfect reflection of the bumper-to-bumper, wheels-to-roof transformation that has taken place. The TNGA platform means an available engine that produces more power than its predecessor yet delivers better fuel efficiency. TNGA imbues the Corolla sedan with greater agility, yet also with its smoothest, quietest ride. TNGA also means an elevated feeling of quality in every surface, switch and control the driver sees and touches. And, critically, TNGA delivers on Toyota’s commitment to driver and passenger safety with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of active safety systems – standard on every Corolla sedan model.

Design Transformation
Toyota shook up the midsize sedan ranks with the new-generation Camry, and now the compact sedan segment is in for a jolt with the 2020 Corolla sedan. From every angle, the new Corolla sedan looks lower and leaner, tauter and tighter. Powerful fender flares and generously curved fender top surfaces accent its sculpted, athletic core.

The design team called its working concept “shooting robust,” because they were shooting for a robust, confidence-inspiring stance. Yet, they had to maintain ample space for practical, real-world use. That’s why people buy sedans, after all.

The 2020 Corolla sedan rides on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, like its predecessor, yet any commonality ends there. Corolla sedan’s dynamic performance and stance benefit greatly from wider front (+0.47 in.) and rear (+0.87 in.) track dimensions. The front overhang was shortened by 1.3 in., and the rear overhang extended by more than half an inch. Height was reduced 0.8 in., and the hood lowered 1.4 in. for better forward visibility, made possible by mounting the engine lower. Those changes, plus many others, reduce the center of gravity by 0.39 in. That’s just one part of the transformation that has turned the Corolla sedan into a highly nimble, engaging machine to drive.

The bold front fascia details vary by model grade, with the SE and XSE putting on the sportiest face, including a body-color chin spoiler and aero stabilizing fins to emphasize the wide stance. The slim, J-shaped Bi-Beam LED headlamps wrap deeply into the front fenders and give the Corolla sedan a steely stare and a distinct nighttime signature. The sporty SE and XSE grades use triple J-shaped clearance lamps with LED light guides along with LED turn signals, creating a unique design signature.

The available Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) provides a wider field of light and steers the low beam in the direction of the turn, based on steering angle and vehicle speed.

The rear leaves a distinct lighting impression as well, with narrow combination lamps that wrap deeply into the fenders. All 2020 Corolla sedan models use LEDs, the type and style varying by model grade. The sporty grades feature smoked outer light lenses.

What better way to showcase the Corolla sedan’s dramatic new sheet metal than with a dramatic new color? The new hue is a highly iridescent Celestite Grey Metallic. The rest of the palette includes Blizzard Pearl, Super White, Classic Silver Metallic, Black Sand Pearl, Barcelona Red, Blue Crush Metallic and Blueprint.

เผยโฉม All-New 2018-2019 Ford Focus (ฟอร์ด โฟกัส) ใหม่ล่าสุด หมดทั้งคัน ในงานเปิดตัวในต่างประเทศ
Ford's “all new” Focus really is all-new.

The Focus was designed from scratch to make it look sportier while also having more room inside for people and luggage. Ford also packed it with more clever new tech than any other mid-size family car, to help drivers be less stressed and more confident on the road, and make the Focus even easier to use day-to-day.

Stress-busting features include the ability to follow the car in front at a safe distance and automatically pull away again even if traffic comes to a complete stop. The tech also gently steers to help keep the car comfortably in the centre of its lane, and reads speed signs to help you stay within the legal limit, even if the car ahead does not.

In the dark, new lighting technology sees curves in the road up to 65 metres ahead, as well as road signs to tell if you’re approaching a junction or roundabout, and adjusts the headlamp beam before you get there for better visibility.

A new fighter jet-style Head-up display projects useful information into the lower windscreen, making it easier to keeps eyes on the road. And we’ve improved out hands-free parking tech too. Now you can just hold down a button and the car will control gears, accelerator, brakes and steering to slot you hassle-free into parallel spaces or side-by-side with other cars.

Ford's tech experts didn’t stop there. A Wireless charging pad means compatible devices can be effortlessly charged by placing them on a mat in the centre console, so you can wave goodbye to storing a tangle of USB cables in the car. Mobile devices stay connected to the SYNC 3 entertainment system while they charge, so they can be controlled using simple voice commands or pinch and swipe gestures on the 8-inch touchscreen.

And the FordPass Connect onboard modem turn the Focus into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices – great for streaming music through the premium B&O PLAY sound system. Using the FordPass app, FordPass Connect even lets drivers remotely check their fuel levels or defrost the car from the comfort of bed on cold mornings.

The new Focus goes on sale later this year with a bigger range of models than ever, including the upscale Focus Vignale, Ford Performance-inspired Focus ST-line, and the first ever Focus Active with rugged styling and a higher driving position inspired by sports-utility vehicles.

Whether it’s the five-door hatchback or the larger wagon with space in the boot for a full-size dog-carrying crate, our new Focus is the most fun family car to drive helped by – you guessed it – clever tech. Drive Modes can make the car more sporty, more comfortable or more fuel-efficient at the push of a button, and intelligent suspension can even detect potholes for smoother journeys.
