Sales Pitch: Futurist explores an all-new design that is both retro and high tech.

More Forgotten Concepts

Great Wall Futurist

Details:

First shown at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, the Great Wall Futurist in a compact electric sedan which seems unlikely to see production in its present form. The retro-themed concept car was designed by one-time Range Rover design head Phil Simmons and has drawn comparisons to a number of classic Japanese and British sedans, as well as the American Studebaker Lark and the classic BMW 2002.

The Futurist features a pillarless hardtop profile, and rear-hinged suicide second-row doors. The cabin combines classic and contemporary styling elements, with the chrome steering-wheel horn ring a definite nod to vintage design.

Per Great Wall Motors, the Futurist is capable of traveling 700 kilometers (about 435 miles) on a single charge of its lithium-free battery. Talk in 2020 suggested that the concept car could see production as part of either Great Walls Haval or Ora sub brands. For those unfamiliar, Great Wall Motors is one of the largest automakers in China, retailing 1.3 million cars in 2021.

Forgotten Concept: AMC AM Van

Great Wall Futurist

CG Says:

Perhaps more overlooked than forgotten, the Futurist is a refreshingly clean and restrained design from a country known for over-the-top concept cars. I love the look, and am most drawn to the cars improbable combination of sleek and stubby elements. Though the Futurist is not destined for productionat least not so far as anyone has reportedperhaps elements of this eye-catching design will eventually hit the road. Sadly, we are unlikely to see the likes of any such car here in North America.

David Houle| Sarasota Herald-Tribune

Columns here over the past few months have dealt with all the changes to Sarasota and Bradenton and that many of them are causing concern. Concern that paradise is no longer. Much of this change is the perpetuation of the way things have always been done.

Frequent readers of this column know the term I use for this is legacy thinking." Thoughts from the past. Meaning doing today what was done yesterday. Therefore today is never new but just a continuation of yesterday. New visions never get developed as the old ones are perpetuated.

That is why the climate crisis is such a good metaphor for how we should look ahead to the future we want.

The climate crisis, simply put, is something that has never happened since homo sapiens have been alive on Earth. The rate of CO2increase in the atmosphere occurring today has not happened for 50 million years. This means that we have no history or experience with what is going on. This provides the cover for both the people who used to be called deniers and all climate scientists. Neither group had any background for what was ahead.

The deniers, at least up to 2000, could be granted a partial pass as something that has never happened is hard to believe will happen. The scientists underestimated the rapidity of global warming, and the consequences as there has never been something that has happened so quickly.

The deniers couldnt understand something that had never happened, and the scientists were winging it on the speed that it would happen. We now know that global warming is incredibly and dangerously real, life-threatening, incredibly costly and that it is happening much much faster that even the top scientists had predicted.

Simply stated, what has happened to the Gulf Coast the past 100 years will not be what will happen this century. Actually, relative to Sea Level Rise, the amount that has occurred on the Gulf Coast since 1900 will be doubled by 2050.This means that new ideas, visions, plans, investments, initiatives and goals need to be new, for this new future.

The climate crisis was not something that had to be factored into future plans last century but is essential for the decades ahead. Whatever the reasons for denial, resistance, and the lack of initiative to face what is clearly ahead, must be set aside.

Unfortunately, people like to be led rather than think independently. For some reason, hard to fathom, the climate crisis has become a political issue.The climate crisis is about everything. Literally everything. There is not a species or a place that will not be affected. Yet so much of what could be done is not occurring, simply due to politics. At this time in our countrys history that is a disaster!

I have spoken about global warming all around the world for decades, mostly in the U.S. I have written a column for this newspaper for the better part of 10 years. Back in 2015, when I published the first of two books on climate and co-founded a Sarasota-based nonprofit to create crew consciousness, I started to write more columns in this space about climate, clean energy, sea level rise and what might be ahead. I received numerous emails from readers, the vast majority positive.

Yet I knew, and know, that anytime I write about some climate-related topic, I will get some highly negative comments that simply doubt both the reality of crisis and malign me personally. None that set forth any intellectual or scientific arguments. I have received a number of emails from readers stating that the only explanation of my comments was thatI was an ultra-liberal, a socialist, and one man called me a communist.

The point here is that communism and democracy have nothing to do with global warming, yet people still think that it does. We have to stop this politicization of what is simply the biggest challenge facing our species.

If we want Sarasota, Bradenton and the Gulf Coast communities near usto thrive, adapt, and continue to be places where we want to live, we must let go of what is clearly dated and replace with new visions that adapt to the new realities coming our way in the 2020s, 2030s and 2040s.

As I referenced in recent columns, will it not be better to accept that all barrier island beaches may be gone in the 2040s and plan for a redefined economy, than to simply do nothing and then panic, react and move when this becomes a reality?

To think that the next 30 years in Sarasota will be like the last 30 yearsis insanity. Do we want insane thinking to guide us? So far the answer seems to be yes.

Do we want our children, our grandchildren and all those yet unborn to look at us with disgust that we sleepwalked when we could have mobilized to create our paradise in the future? I dont think so.

DAVID HOULE: Desperately seeking new ideas, visions, plans, and goals - Sarasota Herald-Tribune

Pink Sauce: the condiment thats trending for all the wrong reasons. Its a lesson in TikTok hype, hive mind kayfabe, and perhaps most of all, the importance of the FDA. And at the end of the day, its just bad mayonnaise with just enough pink dye to look like Pepto Bismol. Instead of hitting this horrible sauce, we recommend five condiments that are worthy of going viral. Viral in a good way, not the painful stomach bug way.

Key Selling Point: Get in on the next big condiment craze before everyone else does.

Are you familiar with chili crunch? The popular Asian condiment is having a bit of a moment right now, and its about to go big time. You know, the way Sriracha took over the hot sauce world around the early 00s. Its a blend of sesame seeds, chilis, shallots, garlic, and a bunch of other tasty stuff steeped in oil which makes for a bright red sauce thats fiery and flavorful without being too spicy. Its great on noodles, rice, and the best thing you could ever dip takeout gyoza into. This ones recipe was crafted by Chef David Chang, so you can pretty much guarantee that its going to be tasty as hell.

Key Selling Point: Taco-truck tastiness in a charming squeeze bottle.

Its so very difficult to find a bottle of salsa on a store shelf that hits quite as good as one made by your friendly neighborhood abuelita. For those of us who arent within driving distance of a taco truck, theres the Herdez Taqueria Sauce Verde. Like any great green taco sauce, its made from charred poblano and jalapeno peppers and comes in an easy squeeze bottle. Its great on tacos, nachos, and a plate of huevos rancheros, but it would work equally well as a marinade or even salad dressing. Its not as good as homemade, but its pretty darn close.

Key Selling Point: A flavor profile from Washington D.C. ready to make a 50-state sweep.

When salty meets sweet, some of the tastiest matches are made, from chocolate-dipped pretzels to the ever-reliable peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Capital City Mumbo Sauce is sweet, salty, and even packs a good bit of heat, for a condiment thats not just delicious, but damn near universal. While it is primarily a sauce intended for wings, its great as a finishing glaze, marinade, and anything and everything bound for the grill. Its also totally vegan, without an ounce of high fructose corn syrup.

Key Selling Point: An unnecessary, but deliciously innovative way to enjoy your next burger.

Have you ever stared at a burger and thought, I need to make this unhealthy meal downright hedonistic? The Heinz Dip and Crunch Burger Dip is a little extra, but not an altogether terrible idea. While you do need to supply your own burger, this package not only comes with a dip to dunk your sandwich in but a small pile of crushed potato chips. You know, for texture. Its not just a dipping sauce, its an experience. And it may just change the way you eat burgers forever.

Key Selling Point: Why choose between drinks and dessert when you can have both?

Fruit and wine go together like beer and cheese. Separately, they compliment each other, but together, some seriously tasty alchemy happens. These Wine-Infused Dessert Sauces are crafted in small batches, with an ingredients list you can actually read. Wine, fruit, sugar, and little else, so the flavor profiles within these sauces can truly shine. Available in three tantalizing flavors including Blackberry Merlot, Dark Cherry Zinfandel, and Mango Pinot Grigio, which are great one ice cream, yogurt, sourdough toast, or simply eaten with a spoon at 2 am in front of your fridge. No judgment.

5 Tasty Condiments That Aren't Pink Sauce - Futurism

A development proposal calling for the replacement of a disused multiplex movie theatre and a nightclub in Vaughan would add some bold new landmarks to the city's burgeoning downtown, a change representative of the inner-905's shift from suburban to a transit-connected extension of the big city.

The plan is part of Menkes Developments'enormous vision for the southern Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, or VMC South area. Block 6 East of the community would occupy an entire city block extending north from Interchange Way, just east of Highway 400.

The site is currently home to a handful of buildings, including a large structure that was formerly home to one of the few locations of AMC Theatres until 2014. The building to the west continues to house nightclub Luxy, a bastion of 905 bro culture

Menkes intends to tear it all down to build a modern residential complex supporting almost 1,950 new homes along with retail and public spaces at ground level.

Designed by Turner Fleischer Architects and Giannone Petricone Associates, the development would add five towers with varied forms and exterior treatments to the fast-growing Vaughan skyline, with heights of 46, 40, 30, 14, and 15 storeys.

Over 4,000 square metres (almost 44,000 square feet) of the complex base would be devoted to retail space, while the towers above are proposed to contain a total of 1,945 residential units.

The buildings are positioned around a central plaza operating as a privately-owned public space measuring over 4,500 square metres. At its south end, the plaza branches off into a pair of pedestrian paths etched between the tower bases.

The plaza's north end aligns with a pedestrian mews being built into the development immediately to the north, part of the area's comprehensive public space master plan.

On its east side, the plaza connects with an over 5,500 square-metre park occupying the northeastern quadrant of the site to form a continuous public space with a generous size of around 10,000 square metres.

It can be a challenge forsuburban master-planned communities on vast swathes of land to feel like a natural progression in a city's organic growth, but the range of design styles and ample public space shown in renderings could make for an interesting addition to both the local skyline and pedestrian-level experience.

In the interim, Menkes has been making good use of the space, which currently hosts a temporary park and festival space known as Assembly Park.

Okay, that's pretty grim.Mass Extinction

A new climate modeling studyis offering an ominous glimpse into the future of pretty much every species on the planet, ScienceAlert reports.

Scientists believe life on Earth's has been shaken by several mass extinction events over the last half a billion years or so. These events have most often followed sweeping periods of climate change, which has historically been triggered by a number of natural factors including asteroids and volcanoes.

Over the course of each climate catastrophe, various species of plants and animals have had to adapt to survive or risk disappearing forever.

But according toa new study by Tohoku University climate scientist Kunio Kaiho, which was published in the journal Biogeosciences last month, the human-made climate change we're dealing with today will likely take place over a much smaller period of time than previous extinctionevents leaving species everywhere with far less time to adapt.

The greatest known mass extinction occurred over the course of about 60,000 years. According to Kaiho's worst-case prediction, the Earth could reach a roughly 16-degree Fahrenheit increase in just a few hundred years enough to trigger another event, but substantially less time for evolution to catch up.

Upon examining the severity of each mass extinction event, Kaiho found a linear relationship between the degree of temperature change and the plight of plants and animals. Essentially, the more extreme the planetary heating or cooling, the harder it was for species to survive.

While these changes will take place over several hundred years, humans, plants, and animals are already facing climate change-induced catastrophes.

All the more reason not to leave all of the cleanup to our descendants that is, if humans will still be around by then.

ModPods International will be delivering a number of houses to the city in partnership with Citizen Housing

A forward-thinking Warwickshire company is working to help solve a stark housing shortage across Coventry and the West Midlands. ModPods International is a leading innovator in the construction of modular homes offering houses that are 'affordable and sustainable in a third of the time when compared with traditional builds.

ModPods manufactures the homes at a 200,000 sq ft site in Stoneleigh and says they can be delivered for same-day occupancy. Each one is fabricated utilising hot and cold rolled steel and can be customised with sustainable, reusable technology in addition to the structure which has thermal properties that make them an environmentally sensible option.

Launched in 2019 by enterprising Coventry pair Pete Farrelly and Steve Smith, ModPods is working with local authorities across the Midlands to help solve the housing crisis. "It all started when Birmingham City Council approached Pete about six years ago and asked him to convert a shipping container into a house," Steve said.

"That was something we decided we did not want to do, but we offered to go and develop them a modular house. That was delivered about four years ago and it was a great success. We have since gone on to deliver about 100 units to local authorities and housing associations."

ModPods will be delivering a number of homes in Coventry in partnership with Citizen Housing, with 24 properties in the first phase consisting of one-bedroomed bungalows, two-bedroom semi-detached houses and three-bedroom homes. All properties are currently under construction at the site ready for delivery in the coming weeks.

Steve said the company has seen exponential growth in recent times due to the number of homes required to support the 'housing crisis' in the UK. Around 300,000 new homes have to be built to get people off the streets and out of sheltered accommodation, he said.

"I think there are something like 10,000 families currently in sheltered accommodation, which has increased 350 per cent in the last decade, so there is a huge need for what we are doing," said Steve.

Steve and Pete are extremely passionate about training local talent as they both completed apprenticeships at the start of their careers. Both have invested heavily in their 'Training Academy' and currently have seven apprentices which will increase to 14 in the coming months.

ModPods has a strong order book and contracts with local authorities and housing associations and is looking to recruit staff as they expand. Steve said: "Our pipeline is potentially in excess of 250 million and we are investigating building a super-factory within the Coventry area to support that growth.

"We have currently identified a couple of 12-acre sites. This expansion would create a significant number of local jobs."

Jobs currently available include trainee and apprentice positions as well as skilled electricians, plumbers, boarders, bricklayers and carpenters. Applications can be sent to: info@modpodsinternational.com.

Fans will get to experience another possible future for the Marvel Universe in Namor: Conquered Shores, a new miniseries from writer Christopher Cantwell and artist Pasqual Ferry. The five-issue series is set 100 years in the future and finds a seasoned Namor still ruling over Atlantis, except now global warming and an attack from the Kree have left a large portion of Earth underwater. One of the positives of these postapocalyptic stories is it allows creators to make significant changes to Earth's Mightiest Heroes and other heroes like the X-Men. Unfortunately for the X-Men, Namor: Conquered Shores finds many of them deceased, including Wolverine.

"In my mind, some went to war, many vacated to Arakko or other newer colonies, and I feel the Kree super-weapon took Krakoa et al out of commission," Cantwell told IGN. "The Kree would be smart enough to do that, but also smart enough to use back channel diplomacy with a group increasingly seeing themselves as separate from humanity. So in my mind, a large portion of mutants became isolationists off-world in the ensuing conflict, while some (your favorite mutants) went to fight the Kree and died. Wolverine died. There. I said it. Nightcrawler too. And Strong Guy."

Even with 100 years having past, time has apparently been good to Namor. Much of that can be attributed to his Atlantean DNA, but Conquered Shores will find other familiar heroes still very much active and a part of Namor's story.

"[Namor is] aged and looks seasoned, but he's fit. Atlantean DNA," Cantwell said. "I liken it to Spock in Star Trek. Vulcan lifespans are long. Namor is superhuman above and beyond as well. So he's aged gracefully. The same is true for the handful of other superhumans kicking around. Luke Cage's physiology has helped him hang on, but he looks older than Namor. The same is true with Cap. Jim Hammond is an android so he's in good condition. And Frankenstein's Monster my new favorite character to write from the Marvel universe is a very thoughtful and stoic zombie who could theoretically live forever. Also, Namor had to age well; he's so dashing. He's like if an Olympic swimmer were superhuman. His body is a work of athletic perfection."

IGN's first look at Namor: Conquered Shores #1 features Namor reminiscing in Atlantis and Old Man Steve Rogers breaking up a disagreement. Namor will also appear as the antagonist of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, portrayed by Tenoch Huerta. The film comes out a month after Conquered Shores hits comic book stores. Make sure to let us know what you think of Namor's upcoming series in the comments!

North West makes quite the convincing Yeezy model, and you only have to look at the brand's latest social media post to see why. On Sunday, July 29 a selfie of West appeared on the brand's Instagram profile, featuring her clad in a large pair of silver shield sunglasses at the brand's studio. "YZY SPLY SHDZ," the caption read, referring to an upcoming launch by YEEZY SUPPLY, Kanye West's sneaker line.

Kim Kardashian also documented the moment on her Instagram story, showing her daughter modeling the futuristic eyewear in a black sleeveless leather onesie. During her visit, West showed off her creativity when she got to making some Yeezy design sketches. She drew two alien figures on pieces of fabric, one of them rocking a pair of dark sunglasses similar in silhouette to the ones she wore and the other sporting what appeared to be a tongue accessory in the shape of a plait. Both sketches featured physical braids. Clearly, the young star takes after her parents with her budding design skills.

During Paris Fashion Week, West pulled off edgy ensembles and accessories from oversize Balenciaga jackets to faux-nose rings cementing her place as a rising style icon, not to mention the vintage cobalt blue Pastelle jacket she casually brought back from her father's archives or the steampunk-inspired Jean Paul Gaultier suit she wore to the brand's show. Although she had the help of stylists for these appearances, West has consistently shown a unique point of view when it comes to her fashion choices.

Does her recent visit hint at a future collaboration with Yeezy? While we wait to find out, read on to view the young star in action.

MANILA, Philippines For decades, generations upon generations of Filipinos have experienced the joy of eating at Jollibee,which is no doubt one of the most loved fast food outlets in the country.

And so, Jollibee has always reciprocated this love to its Pinoy diners with its consistent high quality of food, from its Chickenjoy to Jolly Spaghetti to Yumburger and so much moreall of which make tummies surely happy. But Jollibee doesnt stop here, especially in the new normal we live in.

This month, Jollibee announced the cutting-edge store tech innovations that will level up the joy and complement the "Alagang Jollibee" brand of service that we have known and experienced through the years.

Feeling intrigued? Heres everything you need to know about these innovations recently piloted in select stores, and how they are improving the way you enjoy your langhap-sarap favoriteswhether via dine-in, take-out or drive-thru.

Meet the newest teammates of our Jollibee crews, the Jollibots.

Nope, theyre not the cute Kiddie Meal toys Jollibee launched earlier this year and relaunched this month, but actual moving robots that will accompany and assist the Jollibee crew in dispatching dine-in orders swifter and more conveniently.

While robots usually look intimidating, you will not have to worry about anything with Jollibots because their cute faces are sure to bring you joy as they go around and deliver your favorite Jollibee meals.

The Jollibots have already been spotted to delight customers at Jollibee SM Aura and Jollibee Glorietta, and are soon to arrive in Jollibee SM Seaside Cebu.

If youre one of the many people who sometimes feel anxious when ordering in restaurants, then you might find a friend in Jollibees self-order kiosks.

These touch screen panels have an easy-to-use digital interface that will display all your favorites in the Jollibee menu and guide you through the ordering process, from building and customizing meals, to payment until claiming.

So long as there's an available self-order kiosk, you can place your order right away and receive your queue numberfor claiming your orders at the counterall in just a few taps!

These Jollibee kiosks piloted in 2018 are now present in 129 stores and counting as fast-food goers take advantage of their ease-of-use.

Ever wondered if you could skip waiting in line for your take-out orders in fast food restaurants? Well, Jollibees new Smart Lockers can make that happen.

These automated cubicles complement the Order & Pick up feature of the Jollibee app, making your grab-and-go experience hassle-free with zero wait time. You will just need to place your order via the Jollibee app and wait for the store to confirm your transaction and inform you of the smart locker pick-up process.

Once your orders ready, you can go into the store and head directly to the smart locker instead of having to ask assistance from the crew. Youll only need to key in your order number and the corresponding locker where your order is stored safely and securely will automatically open.

These Smart Lockers are now working at Jollibee Angono Bayan, Rizal, Jollibee P. Tuazon, Quezon City, and Jollibee Northbay Boulevard, Navotas.

To make our kuya and ate riders ordering experience also joyful, a Jollibee in GMA Cavite put up a Rider'sArea where riders can wait and sit while waiting for customers orders.

This dedicated and safe waiting area will benefit riders in several ways. Apart from being a pick-up area where riders can rest comfortably, it can even help prevent crowding inside the store during peak hours, ensuring the safety of partner riders and customers alike.

For an even quicker fix to your Jollibee cravings, Jollibee improves your drive-thru experience with dual lanes, sensors, and food conveyor belts that will shorten the turnaround time for customers.

The Dual-Lane Drive-Thru is present at Jollibee Petron SLEX, Laguna and soon at Jollibee Shell SLEX, Laguna. Meanwhile, food conveyor belts are operational and have been making order dispatch even faster at Petron SLEX, Shell C5 Heritage, Taguig, and Ayala Center Cebu branches.

As Filipino families get more interested in new dining options like Al fresco dining, Jollibee allotted more floor space to their outdoor dining area to ensure that customers continue to enjoy their favorite langhap-sarap meals whether they eat them inside or outside their stores.

The newest and leveled-up al fresco dining areaadorned with murals and plantsis already welcoming customers at Jollibee GMA Cavite.

With this line-up of cool innovations, Jollibee has truly leveled up the joy in their storesand the ever-loyal Jollibee fans are raving about it.

Wow! Super level-up na ang fave ng mga kids ko. Congratulations, Jollibee, a customer expressed in the comments section of Jollibees video on Facebook.

Can't wait na ma-experience yan, lalo pat lagi kong kasama mga anak ko, shared another Jollibee fan.
