Good Friday 2018: Why people eat fish and avoid meat; other traditions

By Quality Products tháng 3 29, 2018 Latest news No comments

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is the day when he was flogged, asked to carry the cross on which he would be crucified. He was nailed to the cross and put to death, and this is why a cross is used as a symbol of the Christian faith. The day is observed on the Friday before the Easter Sunday. If the day marks suffering for Jesus then why is it called Good Friday? Because here ‘Good’ means holy. It is the day when Jesus suffered and died for his sins but resurrected, resulting in his victory over death. While some believe the phrase is a corruption of ‘God’s Friday’. Christians especially Catholics abstain from eating flesh meat on the day. Reason? Because Christ sacrificed his flesh on Good Friday.

Tribute to Jesus Christ
According to the church law implemented in 1983, as a tribute to Jesus Christ for the sacrifices he made for our sins, Catholics should abstain from eating flesh on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Fridays of Lent. Flesh meat includes the chicken, turkey, beef, and pork. Though products are prohibited its by-products -milk, cheese, butter and eggs -are not. Initially, Catholics were abstained from eating flesh meat on Fridays to honor Christ who sacrificed his flesh for the people on Friday.
Other traditions.

In Spain, people who are guilty of their wrongdoings walk through the streets carrying a cross and wearing long robes and hoods.
In Central and South America countries, a procession with statues is organised to the church.
In Greece, a procession that looks like a funeral is carried.

2019 Mercedes-AMG C63 Revealed: with new look and dynamic upgrades.
Revealed at the New York motor show, the upgrades are available across all four C63 body shapes in the guise of saloon, coupe, estate and cabriolet.

Under the bonnet, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine is offered in two outputs. In standard C63 form, it makes 469bhp, while in C63 S trim it provides 503bhp. In coupe form, that results in impressive acceleration of 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 180mph.

A new AMG Dynamics system has also been introduced, which works behind the scenes depending on which of the six drive modes have been selected (Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race, or Individual) to adapt the car’s responses to the driving characteristics required.
Because of the increased equipment levels, prices have gone up. The least expensive in the line-up is the C63 saloon, which starts at £64,000 – up £3,500 compared with the outgoing model. The C63 S saloon costs from £73,000 – up £5,700.

By Quality Products tháng 3 28, 2018 Car News No comments

The choice of two engines, two gearboxes, multiple equipment grades and a long list of accessories has made the budget-friendly roadster a fun and affordable two-seater since its debut in 2015.

Now, Mazda Australia has bolstered its value offering once more. A mild suspension rework, better sound insulation and an even longer equipment list make the 15-strong model range the most expansive of any MX-5 range in its 29-year history.

The changes begin with a retune of the rear suspension to deliver what Mazda says is “an even smoother and more comfortable ride, improving every driving situation, whether braking, cornering or cruising”.

Mazda has increased the list price of its base-grade models by $100 across the board; they now start from $33,440 (plus on-road costs).

High-spec GT models attract a $1320 premium to begin at $39,660 (plus ORCs), while the flagship RF Limited Edition is unchanged in price at $52,210 (plus ORCs).

“The MX-5 carries a promise of fun, and the upgraded fourth generation model certainly upholds this,” said Mazda Australia managing director, Vinesh Bhindi.

The enhancements and added equipment are another phase in its constant evolution, which is testament to Mazda’s endless pursuit of achieving driving pleasure.”

What to Know About Hannah Glasse, the Julia Child of the 18th Century

By Quality Products tháng 3 28, 2018 Latest news No comments

Today’s Google Doodle celebrates what would have been the 310th birthday of Hannah Glasse, who penned what may have been the world’s first viral cookbook and was dubbed the “mother of the modern dinner party.”

Born in 1708 as the illegitimate daughter of a London landowner, Glasse was a housewife-turned-dressmaker, but it was her recipes for English staples and not her stitching that earned her acclaim.

Glasse’s comprehensive cookbook, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, indexed 972 recipes, from cheesecake, to roasted hare to cures for wayward sea captains. Published anonymously in 1747, the book reportedly remained a bestseller for more than 100 years. But historians have claimed that Glasse ruthlessly plagiarized her recipes, lifting as many as 263 dishes from a single earlier source.

While she may not have invented her gravies, sauces and fricassees, Glasse pioneered a direct and conversational style in presenting her manual, which she intended as an instructive guide to “improve the servants and save the ladies a great deal of trouble.”

2018 KTM X-Bow GT(Priced from $189,990 ) revealed

2018 KTM X-Bow GT(Priced from $189,990 ) revealed.

The Austrian-sourced go-kart for the road has added another model to its local range, the X-Bow GT, which effectively is an X-Bow R with a windshield.

As windshields go its fairly costly one with the GT variant priced from $189,990 before on-road costs, a jump of $20,000 over the X-Bow R.

The hipster-style frameless windscreen adds some much needed practicality to the X-Bow's road use as it replaces the need for a helmet and visor, but it is designed so that it doesn't detract from the open-top rawness provided by the X-Bow.

KTM – usually known for its motorcycles – has had to rework the switch arrangement to accommodate the windscreen wiper controls and washer functions, along with the addition of a windscreen heater to allow for optimal vision in all conditions.

Power for the sub-850kg X-Bow comes from an Audi-sourced 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 220kW and 420Nm and is matched to a six-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels.

The X-Bow GT is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 231km/h.

Ronaldo Reveals The Reason He Had THAT Haircut At The 2002 World Cup

Ronaldo Reveals The Reason He Had THAT Haircut At The 2002 World Cup.

Ronaldo, who helped his side win the tournament with a remarkable eight goals, has now revealed that he donned that famous style to draw attention from a leg injury he was harbouring.

The then 25-year-old attacker was considered the best player in the world at the time and the topic of Ronaldo's performance in the tournament were widely discussed in the press and by supporters alike - something which the goal-getter was apparently unhappy with.

So Ronaldo decided that the best way to deter attention away from his bad leg was to do the extreme and shave most of his hair off, just leaving a tiny area of hair above his forehead.

It's not a bad idea. Should you ever find yourself in the centre of unwanted attention or in trouble at work, try growing a mullet or simply shave most of your hair off like Ronaldo, that'll surely stop people from focusing on you.
