The Super SUV Lamborghini Urus’ high-speed record set on the ice of Russia’s Lake Baikal during the Days of Speed in March 2021 has been formally registered by the RAF (Russian Automobile Federation), a member of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile). Russian driver Andrey Leontyev, 18-time record holder of Days of Speed on Baikal Ice, shares his experience of setting the record. Reaching a top speed of 298 km/h and an average speed from a standing start of 114 km/h across the 1000-meter distance, the Lamborghini Urus demonstrated exceptional performance and extraordinary handling despite reduced traction due to the ice’s slippery conditions and strong gusts of wind.Andrey Leontyev, Moscow-born and bred, has always had a visceral passion for engines and cars, from disassembling them during his childhood, to reporting on them during his journalism career and driving them during his truck racing years. But his goal and all-time dream was to drive the world’s fastest cars and set records in extreme conditions.

The milestone means that the U.S. is now adding around 1 million new cases per week. This is an alarming reality as the Christmas and New Year’s holidays approach. The temptation to gather indoors with loved ones at the end of a difficult year is high. Millions traveled for Thanksgiving despite urging from public health experts not to do so.
According to Business Insider, on Thursday, President Donald Trump responded to a town hall question about a New York Times report which revealed that he only paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017. The report also revealed that Trump paid no income tax in 11 of the 18 years of tax documents that they reviewed. Trump refuses to release his tax returns, saying it's because he is under audit, although there are no rules against it. He also accused the Internal Revenue Service of treating him unfairly. When it comes to his debt, Trump did not deny having $400 million worth of it. He said, "Four-hundred million dollars compared to the assets that I have, all of these great properties all over the world." Trump added, "The amount of money – $400 million, is a peanut." The president did not say to whom he owed the 400 million to, but claimed that he did not owe any money to Russia.
The pandemic prompted the IRS to delay the federal tax deadline this year — for payment and filing — to July 15. A tax extension gives you an extra six months to file your return beyond the original April deadline. However, the extension timeline remained the same. According to Business Insider, the deadline to file a 2019 tax return for individual taxpayers with extensions is October 15, 2020. Remember, unless you've worked out a payment plan with the IRS, payments are usually due by the original deadline, not the extension deadline. However, military personnel in combat zones and people in federally declared disaster areas aren't subject to the October 15th deadline.
