Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, who led the country for a decade of rapid economic growth after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989, died at the age of 96.
A surprise choice to lead a divided Communist Party after the 1989 turmoil, Jiang saw China through history-making changes including a revival of market-oriented reforms, the return of Hong Kong from British rule in 1997 and Beijing's entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001.

DAYS AND EVENTS
Each year, December 1 is observed as World AIDS Day in order to raise awareness and to unite people worldwide in the fight against the global health issue of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
World AIDS Day was first designated in August 1988 by James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, to get some semblance of control over the pandemic that had claimed the lives of so many people. Both James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter were public information officers for the AIDS Global Program of the World Health Organisation.
They conveyed the idea for the observation of this day to the Director of the AIDS Global Program, Dr. Johnathan Mann, who approved it for December 1. Since the 1990s, research and medical practices have made significant improvement for the care of people living with HIV.
The theme for World AIDS Day 2022 was 'Equalize'.
BSF Raising Day
India's first line of Defence, Border Security Force (BSF), celebrates its Raising Day on December 1 every year. BSF was established on December 1, 1965 for ensuring security on the borders of India. BSF plays a crucial role in containing unauthorised entry into or exit from the territory of India and it prevents transborder crimes. It also works towards stopping illegal activities such as smuggling. BSF strives to promote a sense of security in people living in the border areas. When the earthquake occurred in Gujarat on January 26, 2001, BSF was the first one to reach out for helping distressed individuals.
Pakistan attacked Sardar Post, Beria Bet, and Chhar Bet in Kutch on April 9, 1965. So, the Government of India decided to establish a specialised centrally controlled Border Security Force (BSF) which would be trained and armed for battling Pakistan on the international border. After the recommendations of the Committee of Secretaries, BSF was formed on December 1, 1965. Khusro Faramurz Rustamji was the first chief and founding father of this force.
This year (2022), BSF celebrated its Raising Day for the first time in Amritsar, Punjab and second time outside Delhi.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year is 'Gaslighting'
Merriam-Webster's word of the year is "gaslighting."
The online dictionary chose "gaslighting," which it defines as "the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one's own advantage," as its top word of 2022 because it became the "favoured word for the perception of deception."
Gaslighting is usually more complex than an off-the-cuff lie and more nefarious, too: Gaslighting someone into believing they're wrong is often part of a "larger plan," said Merriam-Webster.
The term "gaslighting" encapsulates some of the other common terms we associate with misinformation – "deepfakes" and "fake news" among them, per Merriam-Webster.

LAW AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS
Third-ever: Supreme Court of India has All-woman Bench
As the year reached its end, the first day of December 2022 became historic of sorts for the Indian Judiciary, as the Supreme Court witnessed an all-woman Bench, making December 1 as third such occasion in the country.
The Bench, which sat at Court number 11, was set to take up 32 matters, including 10 transfer petitions related to matrimonial disputes and 10 bail matters.
On Wednesday, Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud had set up the Bench comprising Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Bela M. Trivedi.
History was 'accidentally' created in 2013, as Judge Justice Aftab Alam, presiding Judge of a three-Judge Apex Court Bench, could not attend the proceedings, making it an all-woman Bench of Justice Gyan Sudha Misra and Ranjana Prakash Desai.
On September 6, 2018, Justice R. Banumathi and Justice Indira Banerjee held hearing as the first actual all-woman Apex Court Bench of the country.
Currently (as in December 2022), the Supreme Court has three women judges, which include Justice Kohli, Justice Trivedi and Justice B.V. Nagarathna.
While Justice Kohli will retire in September 2024, Justice Trivedi will hold office until June 2025. Justice Nagarathna is set to become the first woman Chief Justice of India in 2027.

WORMSER TERRA SIGILLATA FOAL FIGURINE
CONTACT US HERE ABOUT THIS ITEM.
A burnished terra sigillata foal figurine produced by Wormser Terra Sigillata GmbH and likely designed by Kurt Langner.
WORMSER TERRA SIGILLATA GMBH began production in the late 1940s in the city of Worms, Germany, although the groundwork had been laid much earlier. The Worms ceramicist Jean Kling (1878-1946) was so fascinated by Roman terra sigillata that he tried in several years of research and experimentation to produce a similar ceramic. In 1937 he finally applied for a patent for a "process for the production of pottery with a velvet-like sheen with the appearance of Terra Sigillata". In order to get production going, he transferred the rights for commercial use to the city of Worms in 1941, which in return undertook to build a corresponding factory. For the time being, however, this was prevented by the war, and Kling subsequently died in 1946, insuring that the method he developed in his lifetime could not get beyond the experimental stage. in 1946, armed with Jean Kling's original patent, the city engaged the ceramicist Willi Jizba from the state technical school in Teplitz-Schönau as technical operations manager for the construction of the factory. Ernst Baumrucker and Adolf Hausmann were added two years later as specialists in design and sgraffito decoration. The Terra Sigillata Manufacturing Company, which was affiliated with the City of Worms and headed by its director Dr. Friedrich M. Illert, began production in earnest in 1949. The following year, the company was taken over by Willil Jizba and transferred to private ownership under the name "Wormser Terra -Sigillata Manufaktur"
The production program initially comprised decorative ceramic objects which were based on Roman models. Utility ceramics were added later and the range of decorative ceramics was expanded to include wall plates, wall masks and figurative objects. Most of the early designs came from Adolf Hausmann, and later from Kurt Langner. Langner trained at the arts and crafts school and the technical college for ceramics in Eisenach, as well as studying sculpture at the art college in Weimar. In addition, Willi Jizba managed to employee his former teacher, Prof. Hans Lifka, as a freelance designer. Hans Lifka was a student of Michael Polwony and held a professorship at the German State Institute for Ceramics and Related Applied Arts in Teplitz-Schönau from 1930 to 1945.
A special feature of the Wormser production range were the ornamental objects created from 1950 onwards with burnished surfaces and often beautiful sgraffito decors. In 1952, the workshop staged a joint exhibition at the Hannover Trade Fair along with the company Silberdistel, and led all of the other companies at the Fair. As a result of this favorable reception and sales development, the company was able to expand considerably in 1955. In contrast to the industry practice of regularly retiring shapes and decors, the models at the Wormser factory remained in the collection for quite a long time, and were sold through specialist retailers.
In 1980 the company was restructured under the successor of Willi Jizba, Volker Jizba. It was now called "Wormser Keramik GmbH". In 1989 the company headquarters was relocated to Oppenheim and the production of the company's own ceramics was stopped almost entirely. Instead, tea sets and utensils were purchased as raw materials and production was limited to decorating them only. Business activity shifted to the specialist trade in ceramics and tea services The production of the company's signature Terra Sigillata pottery had long since stopped due to a lack of demand. Though greatly diminished from its former place in the market, the company does still exists today in Oppenheim, Germany..
TERRA SIGILLATA is a term that describes a certain kind of red-glazed, stamped pottery from the Roman Empire, which originated in Arezzo. Usually roughly translated as 'sealed earth', the meaning of 'terra sigillata' is 'clay bearing little images' (Latin sigilla), not 'clay with a sealed (impervious) surface'. The archaeological term is applied, however, to plain-surfaced pots as well as those decorated with figures in relief. With the expansion of the Roman Empire, it was gradually produced throughout Italy and also in the provinces. You can find terra sigillata pottery everywhere the Romans left their mark.

This is a modern vision of an ancient dance, which was influenced by flamenco, Indian dance, hip hop and other popular dance styles, and is danced to a modern and traditional oriental music and other rhythms.
The class's emphasis is on proper posture and performance of sharp and accurate isolations. This way you learn about Tribal stylization and typical movements and combinations. The class starts with some yoga and a few conditioning exercises, which help to prepare your body for dance, followed by learning the technique and connecting your movements, after that we round up with a choreography. Due to the specificity of work and style, the class is suitable ALSO for those, who have been involved in oriental dance for some time and would like to try or learn something new.
Advanced class for those who have already danced Tribal for years and have had a lot of experience in Tribal Fusion. Please talk to the teacher before attending this class.
American Tribal style (ATS) is the original Tribal style and is a core element for Tribal Fusion. The emphasis is on very strong arms, posture and a very proud, but elegant Tribal "attitude". ATS is danced in a group (can also be duets) as improvisation. The dancer in the lead position guides others with cues, so others can follow her and the dance can look like a beautiful choreography. We use the language of nonverbal communication. After a short warm up we learn ATS movements and cues and focus on group work (you can come alone or in a group). We later add finger cymbals, to make it even more fun! The class is suitable for beginners and is a great base, if you want to really understand and practice any of the Fusion forms of Tribal.

Overboard: A New Take On A Classic
2018 has a lot of great comedies on the way, and we're really looking forward to OVERBOARD. The quirky romantic comedy hits theaters next month, with Anna Faris and Eugene Derbez in the lead roles. OVERBOARD follows Leonardo, a wealthy and self-centered playboy, who meets Kate, a carpet cleaner and working-class mom, when she comes aboard his yacht.
Leonardo isn't a nice guy. He turns abusive and ruins Kate's cleaning equipment, leaving her with nothing. When the guy falls off his own yacht, and suffers amnesia as a result, Kate takes advantage of the opportunity to convince Leonardo that they're married. With a great story concept and a wonderful cast, OVERBOARD looks like a great time at the movies. And it's actually based on another film!
Overboard Is Based On An '80s Comedy
OVERBOARD is actually a remake of a 1987 comedy which starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, directed by the legendary Gary Marshall. The premise is essentially the same, too. The '80s classic follows Joanna Stayton (Hawn), a rich woman with more money than sense. Before long, she gets into a feud with her carpenter Dean Profitt (Russell). After Joanna falls off her yacht, she is left with amnesia and is unable to remember who she is. So, you guessed it: Dean takes advantage of the situation by masquerading as her husband. We won't spoil the ending, just in case it inadvertently spoils the conclusion of the upcoming remake.
OVERBOARD opened to a mixed response from critics back in 1987, but it performed pretty well domestically. Since the time of its release, it has earned a dedicated following, in part because of Hawn and Russell's real-life partnership. (They started dating in 1983 after working together on the film Swing Shift.)
Despite sharing a lot of ideas with the original, the upcoming remake has one pretty big (and obvious) difference.
The Original Roles Were Different
The big change made to the OVERBOARD story for the new film is that the main roles are reversed. In the '80s classic, it's Hawn's character that is wealthy, and Russell's character who struggles financially. The upcoming remake will have Derbez portraying the narcissistic rich protagonist, while Farris plays the character that is struggling with money. So the roles have been changed, giving the new film a chance to explore the scenario from a different angle.
While some fans of the original OVERBOARD could be a little skeptical, this adjustment to the story is a good thing. It sets the remake apart from the original, and offers a fresh feel. We're excited to see the remake — especially because of this difference. But, excitement aside, one thing is for sure: the remake has some pretty big shoes to fill.
OVERBOARD is due out for release on May 4.

Top 10 Best Shooting Games For Ps4 (Tps And Fps) In 2020
Games / By Faria
Digital games are increasingly gaining ground on the world stage, including in Brazil. However, there are currently several different genres available. They include shooting games, which can be first (SPF) or third (TPS) person. How to Choose the Right for You?
most famous titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield are released annually and new games are announced all the time. With so many options available for PS4, it is difficult to decide which is the best. So we created this article with all the tips on how to choose and a ranking of the 10 best shooting games for PS4 between FPS and TPS. Check out!
How to Choose the Best Shooting Game for PS4
Before buying a shooter we should look at some details to ensure the right product, such as gender, parental rating, caption availability in Portuguese and more. Check out the details below!
Choose agreement with Perspective: FPS or TPS
The shooting games are split between first-person perspective (FPS) and third-person perspective (TPS). It is very important to know the differences between these styles to choose one that fits your, as this may hinder your enjoyment. Understand more about them below!
The shooter in first person (FPS), as the name suggests, focuses on first-person perspective, ie the player experiences the action through the eyes of the character. Thus, the immersion is greater because it allows the user to view the entire environment around you as if you were there.
Being centered in combat with firearms, only weapons and other equipment are projected on the screen. In addition, it is usually much easier to aim at such games, but remember that there are users who feel discomfort during gambling, so be sure to note this detail!
Already in the shooting games in the third person (TPS), the player sees the main character moving, but this genre is not focused only on shooting. They can also be adventure, action and more. So if you like games with broad worldview, the third-person perspective is optimal.
One of the striking features of TPS is that it is easy to sympathize with the character, since he is always on the screen. In addition, there are also games in which you can change the look of the character, customizing their clothes, weapons and even adding gestures and dances.
Support for Multiplayer Fun is Guaranteed
Being able to play with friends, either through the internet or locally, it is one of the most fun ways to enjoy the game FPS and TPS. However, not all games have support for multiplayer and if you search for a title with this possibility, it is important to be aware.
Currently, there are two multiplayer modes: local and online. Local mode divides the screen so that two or more people can play at once on the same console. But the online mode allows users around the world play against each other, some allowing up to 64 simultaneous players. Cool huh?
Audio and subtitles in Portuguese is a Differential
Brazil is becoming one of the world's largest games markets and thus attracting the gaze of several developers. The result of this high demand is the investment by these companies to deliver games with audio and / or subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese.
Of course, not all developers have this vision of the market and end up falling short in relation to EN location, so always remember to check the packaging or the product description if it's available in your language. So you'll have an even better experience.
Keep an eye on the Games Rating System
The games also follow the same rules of the parental rating applied to movies and TV shows. This statement is made in accordance with the game content, for example, violence, bad language and nudity.
In every game there is a category (L, 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18) that indicates the appropriate age for the target audience. While "L" indicates a free classification, "18" indicates that the game is only allowed for people over 18 years. Do not forget to check out, especially if the game is chosen for this!

New Bentley Fragrance Bottles
Bentley Fragrances, the international luxury brand, introduces Silverlake, an exciting new addition to its Bentley For Men range. Characterised by its distinctive and vibrant scent, Silverlake captures the energising air of the world outdoors.
Crafted from the highest-quality natural materials, this spirited new fragrance meets the same exacting standards as Bentley cars. In Bentley For Men Silverlake, the up-and-coming young perfumer Ane Ayo has developed layer upon layer of cool aromatic notes and is based on peerless, sustainable and natural ingredients.
The scent opens with a rush of ice-cool notes, as lemon and peppermint essences blend to create the effect of a gust of pure, invigorating mountain air.
As the heart of the fragrance unfolds, the green, moist-earth accents of violet leaf absolute evoke a majestic forest, touched by the frosty bite of pink pepper essence. The cool sheen of lavender hints at the silver water of a lake, reflecting the clear blue sky.
Boosting these bracing accords, a powerful blend of ambery woods carried by a breeze of pure white musk give the scent its crisp, modern, long-lasting trail.
An iconic bottle, reinvented in ice-cool silver, designed to reflect the lines and curves of a Bentley car, the rounded form of the For Men bottle takes on a sleek new elegance with Silverlake, reflecting the cool accords of the new fragrance.
Speeding incidents triple during lockdown
Motorists were speeding three times more frequently during lockdown compared to normal, according to new analysis by AX.
The study of telematics data by the vehicle protection and management technology provider suggests motorists were making the most of unusually low traffic levels, giving drivers the opportunity to speed in otherwise normally congested areas.
Serious speeding events – the most severe category of excessive speed* – occurred every 136 miles on average in April, compared to every 443 miles in February.
Major speeding events** were also significantly more frequent, taking place on average once every 32 miles in April, down from every 94 miles in February.
It wasn't just a case of motorists covering shorter journeys either, with major speeding events occurring on average once every 4.3 trips in April compared to every 9.8 trips two months earlier.
Van drivers, who played a crucial role during lockdown, proved to be much more obedient than car drivers, with telematics devices detecting major incidents twice as often as normal compared to four times as frequently for car drivers.
In normal circumstances, data suggests van drivers tend to commit more major speeding events than cars, whereas the reverse is true for serious events, largely due to the majority of cars offering more potent performance than most vans.
As lockdown restrictions began to ease, speeding also started to return to normal levels, with all types of speeding incident occurring almost half as frequently in June compared to April, although still far from pre-lockdown levels.
Director of Investigative Services at AX, Neil Thomas, said: "It's fascinating to see how driver behaviour has been influenced by the impacts of COVID-19.
"Whether it was simply down to reduced traffic levels during lockdown or perhaps drivers assuming police forces had bigger priorities, the data shows that given the opportunity, many drivers are clearly willing to speed and quite often significantly so.
Polestar confirms Westfiel London as its first UK space
Polestar has announced the location of its first UK Space, located in Westfield London. Also known as Westfield White City or Westfield Shepherds Bush, the largest shopping centre in Europe was an obvious choice of location for the growing Swedish electric performance brand.
Working with Endeavour Automotive, Polestar's first UK Space will mirror the key attributes seen in the brand's Spaces already open elsewhere in Europe and in China. The unique retail proposition within the sector combines innovative design, technology, location and a seamless digital-first retail model. Set to open to the public in October, the Westfield Space will showcase the brand's Polestar 1 electric performance hybrid GT and the Polestar 2 fully-electric performance fastback.
Brits spend over five & a half million hours a year searching for their parked cars
Each year Brits spend over five and a half million hours searching for their parked cars*, according to new research by ŠKODA UK.
In a survey of 2,000 drivers, it revealed that 52 per cent of all motorists were temporarily unable to find their parked car, 'losing' it at least once every year. A further 25 per cent of Brits admitted to doing so twice in the last 12 months, with 14 per cent confessing they had suffered a similar fate three or more times during the year.
Men and women are very similar when it comes to 'losing' their car on multiple occasions. Just over one in ten male drivers (12 per cent) stated they had 'lost' their car three or more times in the past year, compared to 16 per cent of females. When it comes to finding their misplaced cars, male drivers took an average of 6.4 minutes as opposed to 5.6 minutes for female motorists.
Overall, drivers aged 18-25 admitted to 'losing' their cars 2.5 times per year, with 5 per cent of these drivers confessing to doing so more than 10 times in the last 12 months. In contrast, drivers aged over 66 'lost' their car less than once (0.82 times each year).
The places where motorists most commonly 'lost' their cars were shopping centre car parks (58 per cent) and supermarkets (36 per cent). Closely followed by the airport (21 per cent) or after an event or festival (12 per cent).
New Mclaren Senna 'Ride - on' the ultimate Toy
McLaren Automotive is pleased to announce a new, track-focused electrified model for the junior racing driver - the McLaren Senna 'Ride-On'.
Hot on the heels of the McLaren 720S 'Ride-On' launched last year, the new McLaren Senna 'Ride-On' is the ultimate accessory for younger performance enthusiasts. It is modelled on McLaren's most extreme track car, the unparalleled abilities of which are reflected in it bearing the name of three-time McLaren Formula 1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna.
The McLaren Senna Ride-On is available in five authentic and eye-catching McLaren paint colours: black, white, Mira orange, Vega blue and Memphis red. A sixth, special edition colour – exclusive to McLaren retailers - of yellow with green accents echoes the colours of Ayrton's race helmet for the most serious of budding racing drivers.
The McLaren Senna Ride-On is aimed at 3 to 6-year-olds, although McLaren's own Formula 1 driver Lando Norris did manage to squeeze in the car and take it for a test drive, just to check he was happy with the way it drove.
The McLaren Senna 'Ride-On' features all the functions of last year's popular 720S 'Ride-On', including working dihedral doors to allow easy access. Once inside, the young owner can begin their drive using an authentic push-button start which activates McLaren Senna engine sounds. Junior journeys can also be accompanied by music, played via an infotainment system that can access files from a USB device or SD card.
For precision handling, the model also features a working brake with brake light function. And while performance is understandably restricted compared to the real thing, the McLaren Senna 'Ride-On' is set to become one of the most coveted automotive toys of 2020 and beyond. Priced at £375 in the UK market, the McLaren Senna 'Ride-On' is available to order now at McLaren Retailers and selected toy retailers.
Jaguar Land Rover upcycles aluminium to cut carbon emissions by a quarter
Research by Jaguar Land Rover has revealed how an innovative recycling process could upcycle aluminium waste from drinks cans, bottle tops and end-of-life vehicles into the premium cars of the future and reduce production CO2 emissions by up to 26 per cent.
The REALITY aluminium project is a key part of Jaguar Land Rover's Destination Zero mission to reduce carbon emissions and its ambition to make societies safer and environments cleaner through relentless innovation. Engineers were able to use the recycled aluminium parts and mix it with a lower amount of primary aluminium to form a new and tested prototype alloy, comparable to the existing Jaguar Land Rover grade and quality.
Analysis of the recycling and manufacturing process revealed it has the potential to reduce alloy production CO2 emissions by up to 26 per cent compared to the current automotive grade, helping Jaguar Land Rover further close the loop on its manufacturing and use of raw materials.
Aluminium is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world and can be melted down and reformed repeatedly without losing quality. Post-consumer recycled aluminium appears in everyday goods such as drinks cans, aerosols, foil food trays and bottle tops but is not widely used for high-end applications such as automotive manufacturing. Nearly 75 per cent of all aluminium produced in the USA and EU is still in use today while the creation of recycled aluminium uses around 90 per cent less energy than raw material production*.
By recovering the high-quality automotive-grade aluminium used to manufacture vehicles, Jaguar Land Rover can re-use the premium properties as part of a blend, reducing the need for virgin aluminium in vehicle production. Typically, end-of-life vehicle scrap is exported overseas where it can be re-used for low-end applications, but new advanced separation technology has enabled it to be upcycled back into the automotive process, helping close the loop and reduce the environmental impact.
Gaëlle Guillaume, Lead Project Manager for REALITY at Jaguar Land Rover, said: "This project has allowed us, for the first time, to recover premium automotive-grade aluminium from scrapped vehicles and re-use its unique properties. The potential of this on the production process is a reduction in CO2 impact as well as helping us re-use even more aluminium.
"As we move into an autonomous, connected and electrified future, with the potential of shared fleets being de-commissioned en masse, it could allow Jaguar Land Rover to engineer this closed loop recycling alloy into tight production schedules to further improve efficiency and environmental benefits."
