Driving trailer trucks is one of the better-paid jobs which have survived the Covid-19 pandemic and more women have been getting behind the wheel. A profession traditionally dominated by men, its doors are slowly opening to wives and mothers who have shattered the gender glass celing. As the job market dries up because of the Covid-19 crisis, many women are looking for secure work with steady pay to supplement the family income, even if it lands them in unfamiliar territory. On her work days, Natthinan Sawasdi, 37, gets into the driver's seat of a 18 or 22-wheel trailer truck belonging to the Mon Transport company based in Laem Chabang port in Chon Buri.

The karate and taekwondo national associations are all set for the training bubble set up by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) to fast-track the country’s preparations for next year’s Tokyo Olympics. “I’m looking forward that our taekwondo athletes will be able to resume training and prepare for the Olympic qualifying tournament,” Stephen Fernandez of the Philippine Taekwondo Association told the Inquirer late Sunday.

Adamson University head coach Air Padda stood by her decision in benching captain Jema Galanza, Eli Soyud, and Chiara Permentilla in the first set of the Lady Falcons’ stunning loss to University of the East on Sunday. The Lady Falcons were gunning for a share of the third spot with Ateneo, but they wound up dropping to 3-4 while the Lady Warriors took advantage of Padda’s surprise move to take the match in five sets, 25-22, 22-25, 14-25, 25-20, for their first win in the UAAP Season 80 women’s volleyball tournament “I don’t regret it, I don’t think that was the reason why we lost,” said Padda.

Mercedes-Benz has finally filled the gap between its super-fast and mainstream compact cars. And it works nicely. When Mercedes-Benz renewed its small car family with an unprecedented number of body styles to choose from in the last decade, it was pretty clear that the Stuttgart-based premium car maker wanted to attract everyone, so to speak. The five-door A-Class, for one, transformed itself into a proper hatch for the young. Then there’s the coupe-like CLA-Class for fashionistas, and its Shooting Brake sibling, if that’s not enough. Uncles and aunties even had the choice of the frumpy-looking B-Class MPV. The menu of engines was also decent, if not exactly widely served. You could get frugal petrol and diesel engines, with some whose wick has been tuned to be a little more aggressive for the wilder guns of buyers. And in the usual Mercedes fashion, there was fire-breathing AMG power to go for. But all along, there was a space left unfilled in the performance ranks, that ... » Learn More about Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 4MATIC (2020) review

Songkran is a celebration of the Thai New Year on April 13 each year. What started as a respectful washing of Buddha images with water to welcome in the forthcoming wet season, has turned into a mega-water fight. No prisoners are taken in this annual water battle – if you head outside or drive along the roads you WILL get wet. If you’re in a car it WILL get water thrown at it and probably a few handprints made with the sludge left over from the Prickly Powder. It is a celebration and there’s plenty of music, noise, smiles AND water. Sawasdee pi mai!! Happy Songkran. 1) Wear goggles Where did that water come from that just shot in your eye? You don’t know and you probably don’t want to know! Suffice to say your eyes are at danger from the many things that end up in the water, including the prickly powder that was thrown at you and now dribbling down your forehead or added to the water before it was squirted at you. It will sting either way. A cheap pair of ... » Learn More about Songkran Survival Guide – Top 10 Tips (2019)
