Fubara urges Appeal Court to vacate order stopping allocations to RiversBack at the IAA Transportation 2022 exhibition, German Tier 1 automotive supplier Mahle presented the (SCT) motor, an electric machine capable of running continuously at 90% of its peak power. It was an impressive little workhorse, and this year, Mahle further refined it into a full drive unit, integrating two SCT motors and a cooling system into an all-electric truck axle with claimed 92% continuous power output and near-700-hp peak rating. The working axle essentially does more with less, using small motors for demanding tasks. When it first revealed the SCT motor two years ago, Mahle detailed how the integrated oil cooling system enabled it to continuously dissipate heat and run at a high load of 90% peak for unlimited periods of time. Typically, motors have less efficient cooling and must run at a lower continuous power to prevent overheating and damage, resulting in a larger gap between continuous and peak power ratings. The SCT was always designed to power a range of battery- and fuel-cell-electric vehicles, from light passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks and machinery. Mahle caps its new working electric axle with an SCT motor at each end to show how effective the small, efficient unit can be. With an oil cooling system integrated neatly within the axle, the two motors combine for a peak power of 697 hp (520 kW) and a continuous power of 644 hp (480 kW), further improving upon the original 90% figure with a continuous output of 92% of peak. It's not hard to imagine why more power for longer is desirable, and Mahle has used the example of a heavy-duty fuel-cell truck cab to emphasize its utility. The steady high output at the rear wheels could allow such a truck to efficiently climb a hill or mountain in a way that would overheat and overwhelm a lesser electric drive. In fact, Mahle estimates the dual-SCT electric axle could push a 35-tonne fuel-cell-electric truck up and over the Brenner Alpine mountain pass between Austria and Italy 10% faster than a diesel truck, shaving roughly 3.5 minutes off the commute from Innsbruck to Bolzano. Alternatively, SCT units could power heavy-duty agricultural or construction machinery at full load for extended periods of time, allowing them to get more work done. Or they could open up an electric sports coupe to multiple accelerative bursts in a short time period, allowing it to pass several different cars at different times on a highway or track. Mahle revealed the dual-SCT electric truck axle as part of the same theoretical fuel-cell truck exhibit that highlighted its . It said at the IAA show that both the SCT motor technology and accompanying liquid cooling system are ready for series production. It also reiterated that the motor can be specced without permanent magnets, a design that combines the SCT and MCT (Magnet-free Contactless Transmitter) technologies into a single " ." Source:

Haiti's interim president, Leslie Voltaire, said in an address to the nation that journalists and police were among the victims of the vicious Christmas Eve attack. He did not specify how many casualties there were, or give a breakdown for the dead or wounded. “I send my sympathies to the people who were victims, the national police and the journalists,” Voltaire said, pledging “this crime is not going to go unpunished.” There were concerns there could be fatalities — a video posted online by the reporters trapped inside the hospital showed what appeared to be two lifeless bodies of men on stretchers, their clothes bloodied. One of the men had a lanyard with a press credential around his neck. Radio Télé Métronome initially reported that seven journalists and two police officers were wounded. Police and officials did not immediately respond to calls for information on the attack. Street gangs have taken over an estimated 85% of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. They forced the closure of the General Hospital early this year during violence that also targeted the main international airport and Haiti’s two largest prisons. Authorities had pledged to reopen the facility Tuesday but as journalists gathered to cover the event, suspected gang members opened fire. Video posted online earlier showed reporters inside the building and at least three lying on the floor, apparently wounded. That video could also not be immediately verified. Johnson “Izo” André, considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of a gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince , posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital's reopening. Haiti has seen journalists targeted before. In 2023, two local journalists were killed in the space of a couple of weeks — radio reporter Dumesky Kersaint was fatally shot in mid-April that year, while journalist Ricot Jean was found dead later that month. In July, former Prime Minister Garry Conille visited the Hospital of the State University of Haiti, more widely known as the General Hospital, after authorities regained control of it from gangs. The hospital had been left ravaged and strewn with debris. Walls and nearby buildings were riddled with bullet holes, signaling fights between police and gangs. The hospital is across the street from the national palace, the scene of several battles in recent months. Gang attacks have pushed Haiti’s health system to the brink of collapse with looting, setting fires, and destroying medical institutions and pharmacies in the capital. The violence has created a surge in patients and a shortage of resources to treat them. Haiti’s health care system faces additional challenges during the rainy season, which is likely to increase the risk of water-borne diseases. Poor conditions in camps and makeshift settlements have heightened the risk of diseases like cholera, with over 84,000 suspected cases in the country, according to UNICEF.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams keep doing just enough to win, and a team that appeared to be rebuilding this season has climbed all the way to the brink of another playoff berth. The Rams improved to 9-6 and took control of the NFC West on Sunday with their fourth straight victory since Thanksgiving. Their 19-9 win over the New York Jets in sub-freezing temperatures was not dominant — they trailed 9-6 entering the fourth quarter, and they were outgained by nearly 100 yards — but Los Angeles still matched its largest margin of victory this season and continued to look like a looming nightmare for any postseason opponent. The Rams have now won eight of 10 since their bye week, when they were 1-4 and the NFL world wondered whether they would trade Super Bowl MVP receiver Cooper Kupp or even quarterback Matthew Stafford to spur their roster reboot. Los Angeles decided not to punt its season, and Sean McVay's team has driven from last to first. “You don’t want to ride the emotional roller coaster that these games can take you on,” McVay said Monday. “You do have the ability to stay steady, to stay the course and try to right the ship. Certainly that’s not complete by any stretch, but our guys have done an excellent job of not allowing the way that we started, especially in those first five games, to affect what we did coming off that bye.” The Rams also have clinched their seventh winning record in eight regular seasons under McVay — an achievement that shouldn’t get lost in the recent successes of a franchise that had 13 consecutive non-winning seasons before it rolled the dice and hired a 30-year-old head coach back in 2017. After winning it all in February 2022 and then having the worst season by a defending Super Bowl champion in NFL history, the Rams have made the most of their time in between true powerhouse status and a major rebuild. They also started slowly last year, entering their bye at 3-6 before a 7-1 finish. The Rams can become the first team in NFL history to make back-to-back postseason appearances after being three games under .500 each year. These Rams don't stand out on either side of the ball, although their talent level appears to be higher on offense than defense. Instead, they've mastered a delicate balance of complementary football — the offense and defense covering each other's weaknesses and setting up their teammates for success. The Rams have scored more than 30 points just once all season, and they managed only 31 points in their last two games combined. Their defense has allowed only one touchdown in the past two games — but right before that, Josh Allen and the Bills racked up 42 points and 445 yards in the most recent of a few defensive stinkers from LA this season. The Rams keep winning anyway, and now they can clinch McVay's fourth NFC West title by beating Seattle in two weeks. “Fortunately, we’re in a position where you don’t necessarily have to rely on other things to happen if you just handle your business,” McVay said. Kyren Williams and the offensive line are driving the Rams' offense. After a slow start caused partly by McVay being forced to abandon the running game when the Rams repeatedly fell behind early, the 2023 Pro Bowler has surged to career highs of 1,243 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns with his 122-yard performance in New York. Stafford's 110 yards passing were his fewest with the Rams and the second-fewest in his 16-year career from a full game. Sunday's weather was a major factor, but the Rams must throw the ball effectively to somebody other than Puka Nacua. Kupp has just 193 yards receiving in his past five games combined. Defensive back Jaylen McCollough made a career-high nine tackles in only 31 snaps. The undrafted rookie continues to be a remarkable find, earning playing time alongside veteran safeties Quentin Lake and Kam Curl and fellow rookie Kam Kinchens. CB Cobie Durant didn't play for the second straight week despite being cleared to return from his bruised lung. Veteran Ahkello Witherspoon got every snap in place of Durant, who started LA's first 13 games. McVay praised Witherspoon's recent play when asked why Durant didn't get on the field in New Jersey. The Rams' improved health, particularly on both lines, is the key to their surge. McVay reported no new injuries out of the road trip following Tyler Higbee's successful season debut. 12-1 — The Rams’ record in December with Stafford as their starter over his four years in LA. The Rams need to win at least one of their final two games to wrap up their first NFC West crown since 2021. They host eliminated Arizona on Saturday night, but can't clinch the division unless the Seahawks lose to moribund Chicago. The Rams are currently the NFC's third seed, but that doesn't matter a whole lot because both the third and fourth seeds will have to play one of the NFC North's two powerful wild-card teams in the opening round.

India News | Railways to Engage Its PSUs to Operate, Maintain Newly Constructed Sheds and DepotsAli Kashani Sells 5,000 Shares of Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV) StockBeauty and skincare trends may come and go, but there are a few that have proven themselves to be effective and stand the test of time. One of these trends? The use of light therapy, both in and out of doctors’ offices. Once considered a very niche skin treatment, light therapy’s popularity has grown exponentially over the last decade. As someone who loves to get skincare treatments, I have to admit that I was hesitant when LED (light emitting diode) light therapy devices became available for private home use outside that of dermatologist and aesthetician offices. Not only did I struggle to understand how a home device could be as efficacious as those used in professional office settings, but it seems counterintuitive that this kind of technology is both effective and accessible at a range of price points. But I was wrong! There are quite a few brands with either a light mask or wand in their repertoire but there’s one that caught my eye from the moment it became available. And, of course, it’s the most expensive option. I simply cannot help my taste level, it’s a blessing and a curse. After months of seeing rave reviews online, both from customers and beauty professionals alike, I made one of my very first big beauty splurges and bought the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro light mask , which retails for a cool $455. Needless to say, I was eager to see if my purchase was made in vain — and dear readers, I am pleased to report that it was worth every hard-earned cent. As it turns out, there’s a reason the mask is used by celebrities and influencers like Salma Hayek , Charlotte McKinney , and Lucy Hale. It really, truly works — if you are willing to play the long game. So, what does this best-selling light mask actually do? It uses LED lights over your entire face to target the look of both wrinkles and breakouts. This is ideal if, like me, you are perpetually trying to deal with both. You’ve likely seen similar-looking masks and wands floating around, but Dr. Dennis Gross’ FDA-cleared technology uses a combination of 100 red lights and 62 blue lights that work together to target these common skin issues. Red light supports natural collagen production, which helps to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and diminish visible discoloration, scars, and damage, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, helping shorten the length of breakouts, calm red skin, and prevent future breakouts. The mask has three settings: red light, blue light, and a third with purple light, a combination of the other two colors. I’ve found that aside from the price tag, something that often discourages people from making the leap is the fact that the brand recommends consistent use for up to 10 weeks to see optimal results. That said, you only need to use it for three minutes a session, so it doesn’t take up a huge chunk of time out of each individual day. But I get it. Ten weeks feels like a really long time! Let me assure you that if you’re using it primarily for acne and breakouts, you may see results almost immediately. I get awful acne along my cheeks when the seasons change. My tender skin doesn’t know how to deal with the onslaught of extreme temperature changes, summer humidity, or winter dryness. During this time, I use my light mask nearly daily, and it’s shocking how quickly my breakouts dry up, and the accompanying scars fade. During this time, I primarily use the blue light setting. During what I like to call my “acne off-season,” I use the purple light 2-3 times a week for regular upkeep. I find that it keeps my skin soft, smooth and healthy and is a lovely supplement to my skincare routine. I can definitely attest that my skin feels smoother after regular use for at least 90 days, which makes it a perfect investment if you have a big event coming up. I loaned my mask to my now-sister-in-law in the months leading up to her wedding a few years back, and she was thrilled with the results. Another thing I love about this light mask is that it truly stands the test of time. I’ve had it for at least four years, and it’s never failed me or had any maintenance issues, and that’s with very regular use. So yes, it’s quite the investment up front, but you’ll be able to reap the benefits for many years to come. I like to use it right after washing my face on bare skin. The eye holes and lack of constraining wires make it easy to go about my business during the three short minutes that it takes to do its thing. Make a snack, take a selfie, drink some wine through a straw — the world is your robo-face oyster. Once it turns off automatically, I continue with my skincare routine as normal. It truly couldn’t be easier to add this step into your regime. A purchase of the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro light mask includes a USB charging cord, a detachable and adjustable head strap, a storage bag and user manual to get you started. Even if you aren’t a beauty or skincare fanatic, you won’t regret adding this device to your rotation. The reviews truly speak for themselves. Add it to your birthday wishlist or save up and treat yourself because you absolutely deserve it. I always like to round out a pricey recommendation with more affordable ones, so I’ve included a few other popular options below in case you want to try out light mask technology before you make the big leap. Keep reading to make them yours. 1. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro mask Treat yourself to this game-changing skincare device. Not only is it an easy, convenient way to stay on top of your appearance, but it's also a great gift if you really want to wow a beauty lover in your life. And while it's a big financial investment up front, think of how much you'll save in professional treatments. Promising reviews: "I’ve been consistent with using this for an entire year now. I use it every night before bed. No problems with the charging or strap or anything. I’m in my mid 30’s and my skin has been pretty good to me for the past year. My rosacea has reduced, I’ve had absolutely no acne at all, my wrinkles are barely noticeable, and overall my skin just looks and feels better. I started using a pricy moisturizer too, but I’m sure it’s everything combined. Good purchase!" — Corina Grace "I was hesitant to purchase because of the price. However I am in love with this mask. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and I can already see results. Worth every penny !!!!" — k. owen "It's pricey but it works. This product is expensive but worth the investment if can afford it and will commit to consistent, daily use. I’ve been using for three weeks and can already see improvement in my nasal folds and laugh lines (around my mouth) in photos as well as in the mirror. I typically look for bargains and saw there were similar products for much cheaper, but this mask only needs 3 minutes per cycle and most of the cheaper versions require 20. I’m a career woman and new mom (at 37) and don’t have 20 extra minutes daily. The time savings made it worth it to me and I’m very happy with the purchase." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $455 (available in two colors). 2. TheraFace PRO handheld facial massage device While only marginally less expensive than the Dr. Dennis Gross light mask, the TheraFace offers the benefits of light therapy alongside that of percussive massage therapy. It's a versatile, multi-use product that is great for someone who wants a 6-in-1 device that can target multiple skincare issues. It comes with three percussive attachments that massage tired, sore muscles and can ease the pain of TMJ. A facial cleansing brush to ensure the deepest fresh clean. A microcurrent head that works to tighten skin and more. Like the aforementioned light mask, it uses three different light modes: one to target skincare, another to prevent and heal acne and a third that is the combination of both. Promising reviews: "I have always had decent skin. I am very prone to blackheads because I have larger pores, but overall I only suffered from very mild acne. For the most part, if I’m breaking out or having trouble spots of dry skin or any hyperpigmentation, it’s because I slacked on my skincare. As far as fine lines/wrinkles I have them on my forehead (main skin concern) and around my eyes a bit. If my skin is dryer then I’ll have slight smile lines but nothing that bothers me. This thing is a lazy persons best friend when it comes to at home treatments. With the exception of the microcurrent feature, all of the treatments require no rinsing after. (So I can literally use this sitting on the couch or laying in bed) I enjoy skincare and use at least 3-5 face masks per week. Sometimes more. Since getting this, I’ve used less masks but have seen incredible results. It’s almost too good to be true! My skin has a much healthier glow to it, that you can’t get from any cream or serum. It’s just healthy looking and clear. I cannot wait to see what my skin looks like after using this for the next few months. This plus a good spf is literally all I need. Therabody never misses!" — Jessie Marie "This all-in-one tool has made me happy. I definitely have fewer fine lines and my skin is tighter. Don’t expect the results you would receive with a facelift, but there is a noticeable difference after using this for several months." — K. Amin Get it from Amazon for $249 (available in two colors). 3. Newkey 7 light mask This popular and highly rated mask boasts seven different light settings that purport to solve myriad skin issues. Like the above, red and blue light targets skin and acne issues. The company also offers green light it says can help improve pigmentation, yellow light that can soothe skin and reduces redness, purple light to stimulate lymph nodes and relax you, light blue light to soothe allergy-reactive skin and white light to accelerate tissue metabolism. The suggested operating time is between 15 and 20 minutes, though you'll probably want to start slow just a few times a week as you try out the different settings and see what works for you. Promising review: "It works. I was skeptical about this and had my eye on it for a while. I thought it was too expensive. But then I added up how much I was spending on facials including LED, I realized it may pay for itself. I’ve used it a few times and can see a difference. My skin is more even toned and looks younger. Fine lines seem even finer. Worth every penny." — Poolmomof3 Get it from Amazon for $150.89 . 4. LightStim for acne This LightStim wand combines blue and red wavelengths of therapeutic light to help treat and control mild to moderate acne, and its small compact nature makes it easy to use while on the go. It comes with a power adaptor, goggles and guide, so you know you're doing it right. Promising review : "It works! It works for me, I love it. I alway get acne on my jawline and forehead. I like the warm light, IT works when you use it daily until all the acne disappears." — Carrie Get it from Dermstore for $169 . 5. Skin Gym WrinkLit LED mask Skin Gym's mask uses three lights — blue, red, and orange — to help eliminate pesky zits, diminish redness, and leave dull skin fresh and glowing. It's wireless, so you don't have to be tied to a plug while it works, and it's pretty cute, if you ask me. Promising review : "Useful! It’s definitely awesome and worth every penny. I have acne prone skin and I can definitely see that my blemishes and pores are minimizing and fading away. Love this Mask!" — Naomi Get it from Bloomingdale's for $99 . 6. Solawave advanced skincare wand with red light therapy If a mask feels too cumbersome, then you may want to check out Solawave's red light wand. It helps depuff the skin along with providing the benefits of red light therapy like reducing the look of wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles over time. It's super portable and can accompany you on your travels with a charge that lasts up to 12 uses. Promising review : "Love this thing! As a previous cosmetologist of 14 years, I know changes in my skin when I see them! I noticed changes after the first time using this one it helps with acne and wrinkles and overall brightening of the skin. It will always be something I use in my routine!" — Katherine B. Get it from Solawave for $169 (available in three colors). 7. Aphrona LED light treatment mask Aphrona's mask penetrates the skin to the cellular level to treat issues such as fine lines, wrinkles and acne. It uses red, blue and green light to accelerate healing and support skin rejuvenation. It does have to be plugged in during use, so be prepared to stay put. Promising review : "First, I love this LED mask. I don’t find the heaviness of the mask to be that bad. What I do is place my nose in the nose slot first, then resting the mask directly to my forehead meaning my forehead and nose are in direct contact with the plastic mask/shield. The mask isn’t made of rubber and therefore it won’t conform to your face on all parts. The application I use gets the biggest bang for your buck in terms of getting your skin/face as close to the mask as possible. The closer your face is to the mask the better the LED’s do their job. If you do research, every inch that your face is from the mask, it’s power declines by a certain percent. In terms of the quality of the mask, the wavelength amounts for each color are excellent, as they have to be in a certain and specific range for them to do what they say they will do." — Privy Liyy Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in two colors). 8. A box of sterile alcohol pads Don't forget to clean your mask after use, or else all your hard work will be for naught. I like to keep a box of medical-grade alcohol swabs handy and wipe the inside of the mask down a couple of times a week to keep it clean. This Medpride box includes 100 pads you can use as needed. Get them from Amazon for $4.25 (also available in a 200-pack). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
