These Graphics Perfectly Explain 6 Relatable ADHD Moods
As an adult with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I have some unique “quirks” and moods I experience that others may not– or, at least, not to the same extent. That’s why I always love when I find posts online that put how I feel into words. The latest discovery has been this graphic of six ADHD Moods and let me tell you, the author is spot on. Seeing this made me feel beyond validated and I felt compelled to share why. So, without further ado, let me open your eyes more to what experiencing these six ADHD moods is like.
• What is ADHD?

In the graphic, it states, “I’ve just spent 15 hours researching this new hobby of mine… which will be gone by next week.” It’s cute and funny. It’s also unbelievably true. For those of you who have never heard of “hyperfocus,” it’s a common ADHD term to describe the sensation of being so focused you lose track of everything. When I hyperfocus, I lose track of where I am, how much time has passed and I even forget to do basic things such as eating, drinking water or going to the bathroom.
In my brain, it often feels like I only have two modes: unfocused and hyperfocused. I genuinely don’t know what it’s like to focus in a “normal” way. My phone is filled with alarms and reminders about when to do basic tasks, such as “take out the dogs,” “shower” and my personal favorite that in all caps, “Take your meds!” because without those reminders I literally forget to do those simple everyday things. If I get settled into a preferred task after work, I can sit there until my eyes are heavy and I’m half asleep only to realize I completely forgot to shower…for the third day in a row. Hence the alarm to shower. It may sound like a silly thing to have an alarm for, but it’s better than going to work with greasy hair and a terrible smell the next day. Hyperfocus is real.
2. What did I even do today?
This graphic is so accurate that it makes me cringe. It has a person in bed and reads, “I spent the whole day doing nothing because I couldn’t spend 30 minutes doing my assignment, but I didn’t allow myself to do anything else until it was done.” That description is so accurate that I could cry from the regret of my wasted days. It doesn’t happen often as I’m a very “Type A” person who tends to have multiple “To-Do Lists” going on at one time, but when I get into that funk I always end the day feeling horrible about myself.
See, being someone with ADHD means I often forget to do things, so in order to not forget, I decide I won’t do anything else until my main task is done. There are good intentions there. Except, when I don’t want to do the main task, I just sit there, staring into space in order to avoid it. I can be there for hours. And the worst part is, I don’t even know what I’m thinking about when that happens. All I know is that I’m thinking about something and my mind is very occupied. Then, I think about how I’m avoiding the thing I should be doing and that’s why I’m just sitting there. I usually remind myself how the task I need to do could’ve been done in the time I’ve spent staring into nothingness. Nonetheless, I continue staring into space, and therefore continue avoiding the task at hand. Before I know it, it’s 8 p.m. and I’ve accomplished nothing that day, which leaves me feeling hopeless and stupid. Unfortunately, that’s become a cycle.
3. I’m lost.
Of the six graphics, this is the one I connect to most, because I am always, always, always completely and utterly lost. My most common example is placing a curbside pick up order for my groceries. Every week, I have every intention to do this. One of my famous reminders might even go off to remind me to do it. The problem is, when I open my phone there are a plethora of distractions. To find the grocery app, I also have to see all of the other apps on my phone and that’s where I’m a goner. No matter how hard I try, I end up on some social media or entertainment app, which eventually sparks something that reminds me to do something else, which then reminds me to do something else until suddenly it’s the next day and I realize I never placed the order for my groceries. This has happened for an entire week at a time before, as I live off of pretzel rods and cheese quesadillas because I have no other food. Unfortunately, I seem to get lost like this multiple times a day. All the reminders in the world won’t prevent it from happening. It’s inevitable at this point. I’ve accepted my flaws.
4. Am I sad or hungry?
I know this mood isn’t exclusive to ADHD, but it is definitely an ADHD mood. The graphic answers the question with, “Actually, I’m bored… but it’s easy to mistake boredom for those feelings.” To start explaining this graphic, I just want to ask if anyone actually knows how hard it is to actually entertain someone with ADHD? I mean, I’m great at acting entertained. In fact, I can have an entire conversation without retaining a single piece of information. But my mind moves so fast that when I’m alone, I don’t know what to do with myself. In fact, my mind moves so fast that I don’t even know the options my mind is giving me for what to do. So, I usually just sit there and feel the urge to eat something. Then, I question if I’m actually hungry or if I’m just sad and using food as a coping skill. Nine times out of 10 it turns out, I was just bored. As soon as I become engaged in an activity again I’m no longer hungry nor am I sad. It was just another moment of ADHD. Go figure.
This graphic reads, “I want to do this… and that… and that… and talk with everyone… and clean my house… and wow… I should look into this too…” Now, this may sound like the opposite of ADHD, but going back to the first graphic, I said that it feels like ADHD has two moods: unfocused and focused. When I’m focused, I want to do it all. I can get an entire week’s worth of work done, reach out to friends, clean the house, take my dogs to the dog park– you name it. I feel like productivity central. However, other days, I spend all my time going from task to task, trying to remember what I’m actually supposed to be doing. There is no in between. However, as someone who tends to hyper focus more than I’m unfocused, I’ve always been seen as that overachiever. I never struggled in school, I’m fairly outgoing and people see me as someone who’s very on top of everything due to the to-do Lists I use to compensate for ADHD. So, I guess it’s fair to say that sometimes ADHD does have its perks.
6. Zoning out
This graphic is another one that hurts to read because it’s just too accurate. It has pictures of a girl with thought bubbles with text that reads, “Listening to a meeting. It reminded me of something else and I got lost in my thoughts…Wait…How long was I gone?” As I said, it’s so accurate it hurts.
I’m not an auditory learner. I’ve never been an auditory learner. I’d go as far as to say I’m the weird girl who’s always taking notes even when the speaker is saying nothing of significance. Why? Because if I don’t, I literally enter my own world. Let me give you a fictional example. I’m at a meeting and someone says something like, “The data shows that so-and-so is…” that’s it. I’m lost. Now, I’m thinking about so-and-so. However, I’m not thinking about so-and-so in the way that I’m supposed to be thinking about so-and-so. Instead, I’m thinking about so-and-so in an entirely unrelated way, which then triggers me to think of such-and-such, which then triggers me to think about this-and-that, and when I finally realize I’m off in my own little world, I have absolutely no clue what they’re talking about in the meeting. This is why I take notes. If I’m taking notes, I have to listen in order to continue taking notes. It’s the only way I’ll focus. So, that’s why I’m the weird girl taking notes when my boss is talking about something entirely insignificant. At least I’m paying attention.
And as I said before, some of these moods, other people might experience too. It’s just that us ADHDers experience them to the extreme. Our brains are wired to always be busy thinking about something– even if we don’t know what that something is. So, be gentle on us. We really are trying our best. It just takes some time to learn how to compensate.

The Chevrolet Silverado is one of the toughest trucks on the market today and a cornerstone of the bow-tie brand’s diverse lineup. Available in “half-ton” and heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 varieties, there’s a Silverado for nearly every purse and purpose.
And the most popular version on offer is undoubtedly the standard 1500 model, which was totally redesigned from the ground up for model-year 2019. The Silverado HD is similarly new for model year 2020.
New for 2021: Despite the current global scenario, Chevrolet has updated its bread and butter pickup for the 2021 model year. While the changes might not be groundbreaking, the updates will certainly satisfy customers for the time being. For starters Chevy has improved the towing capacity for the 2.7-liter inline-four to 9,300 lbs from 2,500 lbs and the new cab model with the long bed can now tow 9,600 lbs.
For the 2021 Silverado, optioning the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel will now cost $1,500 less than before. That coupled with the addition of the Multi-Flex tailgate is likely the biggest updates to the 2021 model year. Plus, the diesel can now tow 9,500 lbs, 1,500 lbs more than before and according to Chevrolet will still return 33 mpg. There’s new tech too, in the form of trailer length indicator, cargo bed view enhancement mode and jack-knife alert.
Auto emergency braking however is still not standard and requires the Safety Confidence package that also includes forward collision alert with pedestrian alert. Lastly, LTZ and High Country trims in the 2021 Silverado gain wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
Currently, the Silverado 1500 is available in no fewer than eight trim levels, from the base Work Truck model to borderline luxurious High Country variants. There’s even an off-road focused Trail Boss version that features a mildly lifted suspension, heavy-duty tires and Rancho monotube shock absorbers, among many other upgrades.
One feather in this truck’s proverbial cap is its all-new cargo box, or Durabed in Chevrolet lingo. With innumerable tie-down points and a reinforced floor, this bed also offers the most storage volume in its class, in some cases significantly more than rival trucks.
The Silverado’s imposing, squared-off front end certainly isn’t for everyone, but it looks appropriately tough, if not quite as elegant as the new Ram 1500. Inside, this Chevy’s cabin should be very familiar to anyone that’s been in a new Silverado at any point in the last decade. The overall layout is fairly simple, with easily accessible controls, a column-mounted shifter and double gloveboxes. Unfortunately, this truck’s interior is not as nice as what’s available in rival models these days, with too much hard plastic, questionable-quality leather, and a somewhat outdated look. At least engineers made the rear seat in crew-cab models more spacious. These rigs also benefit from nifty storage cubbies tucked away in the backrests.
2019 and up Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickups are built in either Fort Wayne, Indiana or Silao, Mexico. 2020 Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 models will be screwed together in Flint, Michigan.
Pros/ Diesel engine should offer best-in-class output, Plenty of powertrains to choose from, Available in a wide variety of models, Most capacious bed in its class, Torque-rich 6.2-liter V8, Drives quiet well
Cons/ Not much of an upgrade over previous-generation truck, Interior behind what rival trucks offer, Exterior styling not for everyone, No standout features
Bottom Line/ Although the Chevy Silverado is a hard-working truck with great capability, it's not the best in its segment.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Fuel Economy
Given that there are so many variations of the 2019 Silverado 1500, it’s difficult to list all the fuel-economy configurations, but here’s a general idea of how it performs. A two-wheel-drive model with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine is rated at 20 miles per gallon in city driving, 23 on the highway and 21 mpg combined.
Versions equipped with the 5.3-liter V8, the eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive should return 16, 22 and 18, respectively. A four-wheel drive variant powered by the range-topping 6.2-liter engine matched to the 10-speed gearbox is projected to return 16 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on highway drives, making for a combined rating of 17.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Safety Rating
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 should be very safe in a wide variety of crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a crew-cab model and it earned “Good” scores in most categories, the highest rating available. This truck was knocked in three areas, though. It only provided “Marginal” protection in the small-overlap test on the passenger-side of the vehicle, the second-lowest score provided by the IIHS. Also, its headlights were rated “Poor” and the child seat anchor ease of use was only “Marginal.” Fortunately, the Silverado 1500 offers “Superior” crash-prevention technology, when equipped with optional features. This is the highest rating available.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Features
General Motors has been building trucks for well more than a century and the latest Chevrolet Silverado is likely the best they’ve ever offered. Engineers employed a mixed-materials strategy when creating this pickup. Rather than going all aluminum like Ford did several years ago with its F-150, Chevrolet opted instead to employ a wide range of metals in its latest truck, from mild steel to press-hardened steel, aluminum to multi-phase ultra-high-strength steel, they strove to put the best material in exactly the place it was needed. The result of this work is a weight loss of up to 450 pounds compared to the previous-generation Silverado.
Providing greater comfort for all passengers, crew-cab models feature three inches of additional back-seat legroom.
Chevrolet has long claimed to build the most dependable, longest-lasting full-sized pickup trucks on the road. Ensuring the 2019 Silverado lives up to that standard, engineers doubled many of their most important testing and validation metrics. In total, this new pickup has endured some 7-million miles of testing, a figure aimed at maximizing durability.
As for features, higher-end models can be equipped with an electronically operated tailgate. It’s the only one in the pickup segment that power opens and closes. In-cab Wi-Fi with 4G LTE connectivity is available, as is support for Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto. Wireless phone charging and OnStar are available, too.
Elevating the new Silverado practically to luxury-car standards are amenities like automatic high beams, a surround-view camera system, lane-keeping assist with lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, a rear-view camera system and many other advanced driver-assistance aides. These goodies are all on the options menu.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Pricing
Base price for a rear-wheel-drive, regular cab, V6-powered Work Truck model, the most affordable version of the 2019 Silverado 1500, is a little less than $30,000, including $1,595 in destination fees. Go crazy with the options and you can push one of these truck to the $70,000 mark, so be careful if you don’t want to spend a fortune.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Competitors
The Silverado 1500 competes primarily with other rigs from Detroit-based automakers, chiefly the Ford F-Series and pickups offered by FCA’s Ram Truck division, though of course it competes with the Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra as well, even if these two models don’t sell in anywhere near as large a volume.

Future Chevrolet Silverado Plans
Given that the Silverado was just redesigned for the 2019 model year, this truck is unlikely to receive any significant changes for the next few years, however, rumor has it GM is working on a quick update of this pickup’s interior in order to address complaints about it feeling less premium than rival trucks. It’s possible an improved cabin could debut in a year or so. The equally new Silverado HD range was just announced in early February. These trucks aren’t slated to go on sale until sometime in the summer.
2019 Chevrolet Silverado Review
By Craig Cole
Video by Ben Sanders
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Brand new for 2019, the totally redesigned Chevrolet Silverado is all about more, except when it isn’t.
The latest Motown full-size truck to get a ground-up rework, following the comprehensively retooled Ram 1500, which debuted a few months ago and Ford’s aluminum-bodied F-150, which has been on the market since 2015, the bow-tie brand’s popular “half-ton” pickup is loaded with advanced engineering and thoughtful amenities that are sure to delight both commercial customers and commuters alike.
Compared to its predecessor, the new Silverado offers more cargo volume and tie-down points in its bed, has more interior space, more overall length, more wheelbase and it’s more aerodynamic to boot. There are more engine options, more durability, more capability, more luxury and of course more technology. But what there isn’t more of is weight.
A Mixed-Materials Strategy
Much like with the aluminum-intensive Cadillac CT6, Chevy took a measured approach with the new Silverado, rather than betting the farm on one material like a major competitor did (*cough* Ford).
Compared to its forebear, engineers have trimmed up to 450 pounds (204 kg) off this pickup’s waistline by optimizing as many of its systems as they could. From the body alone, they took out 88 pounds (40 kg) by using seven different types of advanced steel. This metallurgical mélange is all about putting the correct amount of the proper material in exactly the spot needed.
Like its body, the Silverado’s brand-new, fully boxed frame has dropped 88 pounds (40 kg) thanks to the extensive use of high-strength steel. Despite this significant weight loss torsional rigidity has increased by 10 percent.
Slashing still more weight, this truck’s swing panels, things like the hood and doors, are made of aluminum. Certain models also feature composite second-stage leaf springs, a move that saves about 12 pounds (5 kg) per side.
Ensuring this weight loss doesn’t translate into a quality decline, engineers doubled many key validation metrics, meaning this is the most rigorously tested vehicle GM has ever built.
Making the Silverado’s weight loss all the more impressive is that it’s grown. Crew-cab models, like the one tested here, are about 1.2 inches (3 cm) wider, 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) taller and 1.7 inches (4.3 cm) longer. Even the wheelbase has grown by 3.9 inches (10 cm).
Takin’ Care of Business
For many customers, a truck bed is where they earn their living, it’s their open-air office. And that’s why Chevrolet focused so much attention on this area of the new Silverado.
Providing a strong foundation, the floor is made from a much more robust grade of steel than before so it better resists dents and punctures. But beyond that, engineers have widened the box by as much as seven inches (17.8 cm), dramatically increasing cargo volume, handy if you routinely carry loose materials like gravel or mulch.
But if you’re hauling furniture or other bulky items instead, they’ve also got you covered. There are up to 21 tie-down points in the 2019 Silverado’s bed, 12 fixed hooks (that are twice as strong as before) and nine movable ones. Additionally, the corner steps in the rear bumper have been made larger to better accommodate steel-toe boots, while four different tailgates are offered including one that powers open or closed at the push of a button.
Six for the Road
Ahead of the firewall, there’s been a similar revolution. When the full Silverado range eventually becomes available, you’ll be able to choose from six different engines. That’s nearly as many as the truck’s eight trim levels!
A 4.3-liter V6 is the first rung of the ladder, offering a stable of 285 horses. Beyond that, a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will also be available, providing a respectable 310 ponies and likely superior fuel economy. Two versions of GM’s venerable 5.3-liter V8 will be on the menu, including one with a new efficiency-boosting technology called Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM), though both brandish the same 355 horsepower. Next, a 3.0-liter inline-six diesel will join the range at a later date. Finally, the top offering is a 6.2-liter small block equipped with DFM. And that’s the one I experienced in the High Country model tested here.
Depending on which engine you opt for, it’s bolted to either a six-, eight- or 10-speed automatic transmission, which could cause a bit of confusion. Keeping things simple, that 6.2-liter V8 is bolted exclusively to the 10-speed gearbox; four-wheel drive is standard.
That Dynamic Fuel Management is a new cylinder-deactivation technology. Rather than shutting down just half the engine’s pots under light loads, DFM enables the powerplant to seamlessly run on anything from two to all eight cylinders. This allows the engine to provide the exact amount of torque needed for each driving situation and nothing more, which saves fuel. DFM can calculate exactly how many cylinders need to fire at a rate of 80 times per second. Best of all, this system totally seamless. When it’s doing its thing you feel nothing, no uncouth vibrations or undesirable droning sounds.
But what does this cutting-edge fuel-saving technology, a significant loss in weight, enhanced aerodynamics and brand-new transmission get you? Unfortunately, only about one mile per gallon in urban driving. The 2019 Silverado tested here stickers at 16 mpg in city driving and 20 on the highway. Combined, it should average 17, exactly the same as a similarly equipped 2018 model.
A Big Disappointment
Matching its advanced new engineering, the 2019 Silverado also brandishes a fresh interior. Thanks to its upsized dimensions, crew-cab models gain an extra three inches of rear-seat legroom, making the aft accommodations absolutely palatial. Another important highlight is push-button start, which is finally offered.
Extra storage cubbies are integrated into the backrests of those rear seats, offering a pair of hidden pockets to stash valuables. The lower cushion also lifts up, revealing extra storage compartments. Making it easier to load items into the back of the cab, the floor is just about flat, so items can slide right in.
Despite these noteworthy improvements, the Silverado’s interior is ultimately a disappointment, even in top-of-the-line High Country trim. The plastics and textures employed are workaday at best, the leather is vinyl-like and even the various switches and knobs feel a bit chintzy. Nothing is egregiously low rent, but this Silverado’s cabin is clear step down from what you get in a similarly equipped Ford or Ram truck. Perhaps engineers spent more of their budget in areas that the customers can’t see, than these rivals did with their latest pickups.
At least partially making up for its lackluster cabin, this new Silverado drives like a dream, providing world-class refinement over practically any road surface.
For starters, the structure feels incredibly rigid, absolutely unyielding, even while traversing war-torn pavement. There are no creaks or judders to cheapen the experience, with the entire rig feeling as if it’s hewn from stone.
Despite having old-fashioned leaf springs and a live-axle at its rear, the Silverado’s ride quality is buttery smooth and free of the jiggles you might expect in a pickup. This is one area it clearly beats the starchy F-150 and might even equal the creamy Ram 1500, which of course offers standard rear coil springs and can be fitted with an adjustable air suspension system.
Steering is likewise precise and nicely weighted. The wheel’s rim could stand to be a bit meatier, but the Silverado feels light on its feet and agile through corners. Surprisingly, despite sitting so high up there’s minimal body roll, even when you push this truck hard. The 2019 Silverado provides a refined ride and well-controlled body motions; what more could you ask for?
Well, how about a smooth powertrain? Luckily, it’s got that, too. GM’s venerable 6.2-liter V8 is quiet, silken and free of drama. Its 10-speed dance partner is also an exemplar of smoothness, never stuttering or slamming, though it does seem reluctant to downshift, preferring to let the engine dig into its deep torque reserve, rather than zip to redline.
Performance is never lacking with this powertrain, though in testing didn’t feel quite as fleet as something with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque should, though in Chevy’s defense, the drive program took place at altitude, about 6,000 feet (1,830 meters) above sea level in the mountains of Wyoming and Idaho, so that could have certainly blunted its performance.
It’s impossible to say without performing instrumented testing, but I suspect a comparable F-150 equipped with the excellent 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 would outrun even this top-tier Silverado. The Ford’s twin-turbochargers help provide buckets of torque from idle to redline and make it immune to altitude sickness; the only downside is it’s nowhere near as aurally pleasing, but then again, neither is the LS as snarly as a Hemi-powered Ram 1500, which offers a muscle-car rumble.
The Verdict: 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Review
By far, this is the best Silverado ever. The folks at Chevrolet have done their homework to create an even more capable, refined and useful pickup, a rig that’s sure to give their counterparts in Auburn Hills and Dearborn fits for years to come.
But it’s also a truck without any revolutionary attribute. There’s no “military-grade” aluminum bodywork or adjustable air suspension system to crow about. Instead, the 2019 Silverado befits from a host of smaller innovations spread throughout, a range of features that add up to something just as significant, if not as flashy.
The most affordable Silverado offered (a regular-cab, long-bed model) will set you back about $30,000, though the High Country example tested here checked out for a princely $64,030, including $1,495 in delivery charges.
2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2.7L Four-Cylinder Turbo Review
By Chad Kirchner
Pickup trucks are supposed to have V8 engines. For the longest time, they did. But as other powertrains became more efficient, V8 engines have been moved to the wayside in many applications in favor of smaller, more fuel-efficient engines. That trend has moved to the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado.
Chevy’s new volume models (LT and RST) for 2019 will feature a 2.7L turbocharged engine. But unlike the 2.7L turbo in the Ford F-150, the Chevy’s is actually a turbo four-cylinder. It makes 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque. At it’s best, it can return 20 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.
What’s it like driving a four-cylinder half-ton pickup truck?
Thanks to some clever engineering, the turbo four-cylinder in the Silverado accelerates quickly – it makes the run to 60 mph a full second faster than the 4.3L V6 it replaces at 6.8 seconds – and feels responsive.
The engine up front is also lighter, which improves steering feel and feedback. While it’s unfair to say that a full-size pickup drives like a sports car, it is the most balanced Silverado you can currently buy.
Chevrolet tells us that the average pickup truck buyer in this class tows around 5,000 pounds. The Silverado with the small turbo 2.7L tows up to 7,200 pounds and a max payload of 2,280 pounds.
For most people, the 2.7L should be more than enough engine.
Chevy compares this engine to Ram’s V6 eTorque engine and Ford’s base 3.3L V6. In most driving situations around our test loop in Scottsdale, Arizona, the 2.7L four-cylinder outclasses both of them. It has better off-the-line grunt and is also better at overtaking at speed.
Around town, the four-cylinder Chevrolet performs similarly to Ford’s 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine. Even though both engines have the same displacement, the Ford’s is a V6 and is designed as an upgraded engine experience.
On the highway, a Ford 2.7L would pull away from the Silverado – it has more power and torque, after all – but the Chevy’s engine feels solid around town so it’s hard to find much of a difference between that and the upgraded engine.
Chevy customers can spend an extra $1,000 on the LT and RST model and upgrade to the 5.3L V8. It’s nice to see the company still offer the V8 for the customers who might want it and don’t want to spend $60,000 on a pickup truck.
The sweet spot in the new Chevrolet trucks lineup are the models sitting in the $40,000 price point. RST, LT, and Custom all deliver differently designed trucks that come standard with the 2.7L engine.
The test truck we drove was priced at $44,900 and was really well-equipped. It packed a four-door double cab setup with four-wheel drive. Standout features included dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support and heated seats with a heated steering wheel. Also, our LT model included LED headlights, which are often a costly upgrade at this price point.
The Chevy’s fit and finish is on par or exceeds the competitor’s volume models. It’s easy to nitpick luxury trucks with stratospheric price tags, but for models that most customers actually buy, an LT double cab like our test truck is a really nice place to be.
For folks who often look at buying a Ford, I often recommend spending the $995 to upgrade from the base 3.3L V6 to their upgraded turbo engine. It’s worth it in terms of performance and fuel economy.
With the turbo four-cylinder engine in the Chevrolet, I don’t feel as compelled to recommend people upgrade to the V8. Yes, the 5.3L V8 is a good engine and it makes a good noise, but you’ll pay more at the pump and more to equip the truck with the engine.
The Verdict: 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2.7-liter Four-Cylinder Turbo Review
The new Silverado 1500 with the four-cylinder engine doesn’t feel like a penalty box. It doesn’t remind you daily that you didn’t spend the extra money – or couldn’t afford to – on a higher trim truck.
The Silverado four-cylinder will handle all of the day-to-day activities of an average truck buyer. It’ll go to Home Depot without problems. It’ll tow a boat or a side-by-side. It’ll do all of that in a nicely equipped truck that won’t make you go broke buying it. It’s a compelling product that many will enjoy.
|Engine /||4.3L V6 (base engine)|
|Torque /||305 lb-ft|
|Transmission /||Six-speed automatic|
|Drivetrain /||RWD or AWD|
|Seating Capacity /||Three to six people|
Our Final Verdict
The Chevrolet Silverado is a tough but smart truck that’s built to work hard. With clever features to help drivers make the most of their pickup and a wide assortment of engines and configurations to choose from, there is a Silverado that’s suitable for any budget or job. With its aggressive new grille and loud styling, it certainly makes a statement. Although the Silverado isn’t the best truck in its segment, many people flock to the pickup for its versatility and capability.

TFI staff, foster parents strive to reunify local family in Topeka, Kan.
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - TFI staff and foster parents worked diligently to reunify a local family in Topeka, Kan.
TFI said the safety and well-being of Kansas children are of the utmost importance. TFI, Foster Care Case Management provider for the Kansas Department for Children and Families works diligently each day to strengthen children and families and meet the needs of foster children in a 26-county area covering southeast and south-central Kansas.
TFI said helping vulnerable children and families oftentimes takes a village. This was recently demonstrated by the collaboration and dedication of TFI staff, foster parents, and a biological parent.
TFI said Eve came into TFI’s care at one-month-old with medical needs and was placed with foster parents Wayne and Kassie. Wayne and Kassie embodied both the beauty and difficulty of being a foster parent. They took excellent care of Eve, but they also worked hard in partnership with her biological mother to help her learn and understand how to be a mother to a small child with medical needs.
The foster parents took in a special needs infant and cared for her through the subsequent year while supporting the biological parent as the time for reintegration drew closer. At the same time, Eve’s mother was working hard at her reintegration tasks, using the services she was introduced to, and learning to live on her own as a single parent.
The foster family included Eve’s mom and maternal grandmother in dining out, medical appointments, and other activities. Together with the case team, the foster family decided that one of the best ways they could help Eve’s mother get used to being a full-time mother was to have her stay overnight at their home to observe how they care for her at all times of the day or night. This occurred several times and helped the young mother develop more confidence in her ability to take care of a young child.
Eve was reintegrated with her mother just before the holidays as a result of her mother’s commitment to learning, her foster parents’ commitment to their success, and the support of the team in their efforts to work together.
TFI said this is one example of how TFI works diligently to best serve Kansas children and their families. The work TFI does in partnership with DCF and other community stakeholders has made a significant difference for the community’s children and families. Below are a few additional key outcomes TFI has recently seen.
TFI said keeping siblings together is one key outcome.
While many states are seeing a decrease in siblings being placed together, TFI has seen an increase in youth being placed with at least one sibling from 73% statewide in fiscal year 2019 to 80% in area 4 and 75% in area 8. This serves as a protective factor for youth and promotes social-emotional and academic development for youth.
TFI said increasing kinship placements is a key outcome.
TFI said they are leaders when it comes to providing safe relative and kinship placements. There has been a significant increase in children being placed with a relative or kinship provider. In fiscal year 2019 statewide, only 32.5% of children in out-of-home care were placed with a relative or kinship provider. Currently, 48% of youth in Area 4 and 50% in Area 8 are placed with kin. The current statewide performance is 44%.
TFI said placement stability is another key outcome.
TFI said they are committed to reducing the number of placements for youth in out-of-home care. Areas 4 and 8 boast significantly lower placement moves per the federal performance measure, compared to the current statewide average, resulting in one or two less moves per youth. Less placements means stability and more timely permanencies for the youth they serve.
TFI shared additional outcomes.
- Childhood safety is their top priority. TFI has worked diligently to improve safety for the youth they serve in Areas 4 and 8. For area 4, TFI has maintained 2.13 victimizations, compared to the statewide average of 3.42 victimizations (measured by confirmed allegations of abuse & neglect, per 100,000 days in care). In Area 8, TFI has brought down the victimizations by over 5 points during the past year, from 8.98 to 3.7. The national average of victimizations is 9.2.
- TFI recognizes the value of connection and consistent contact between their staff and youth as it leads to more timely permanency. TFI has been able to maintain and often exceed the performance standard of 95% for face-to-face contact, with youth at 96.7% for area 4, and 98.5% for area 8. Additionally, 90% or more of these contacts occurring with the residence compared to the 50% performance standard.
- TFI strives to ensure every child is placed in a safe and secure environment and has the lowest runaway rate in Kansas, reflecting only 10% of youth missing from placement in the state are TFI youth. Additionally, TFI has the lowest number of incidents of youth without a placement over the past year.
- TFI is dedicated to youth reaching academic success, and they know educational continuity and grade promotion contributes to that goal. Areas 4 (32.8%) and 8 (25.5%) are leaders in keeping youth in the same school compared to the statewide average of 23.9%. They are also excelling in promoting youth to the next grade level at 94.4% (area 4) and 90.6% (area 8) compared to the goal of 70% and the statewide average of 90.6%.
TFI said they remain committed to helping create stronger children and families and brighter, healthier communities. Kansans can help TFI keep children close to home in their local communities.

With Mother Nature not cooperating, it was down to the wire for crews trying to complete an $80,000 renovation project improving the maintenance and longevity of the pavilion and restrooms at Bicentennial Beach Park in Indian Harbour Beach.
The existing rotting pavilion was built at a too-low an elevation, which allowed water to pool on the concrete.
The water and the salt air also corroded the brackets that attached the wooden structure to the concrete slab. Patched-together repairs were frequent. The new pavilion’s structure is concrete with a metal roof, on a raised slab.
The maintenance issues on the pavilion were brought to the City Council’s attention during the 2017 budget workshops, said City Manager Mark Ryan.
From there it has been a race against time with the goal of having the repairs finished and the pavilion open for Memorial Day. “The issue has been weather. It’s been dried in but it’s not functional,” Ryan said just days before the Memorial Day deadline, he said.
It was only four years ago when the city’s beach parks were serviced by port-o-lets, a practice Ryan did away with in favor of permanent restrooms.
Now the restrooms should last longer in the harsh beach environment, Ryan said.
“It was a little bit different for us going with metal roof. It’s a first for a city building in Indian Harbour Beach and this is our largest pavilion,’’ Ryan said.
Maintenance concerns are best addressed with planning and setting money aside specifically for the upgrade of facilities such as the improved bathrooms at the beach, he said.
“As we develop our capital improvement programs, we need to begin a program to set a certain amount of money aside each year for renovation and replacements,’’ he said.


Innr RGBW Flex Strip Light
Flex Light RGBW FL130C (4m)
With this 4 meter long, smart version of the flexible color LED strip you can easily create decorative colour accents that you use with the Innr or Philips Hue app and Bridge. Choose the desired colour yourself. Perfect for on top of a cupboard, under a kitchen bar, under the couch or behind a desk. There are two 2m cables so you can divide the strip(s) into two parts and a 4m cable to connect the power adapter. The Flex itself is four meters long and 10 mm wide.
- 16 million colours
- 4 meter, can be cut in 2 pieces
- 240 LEDs (30 RGB + 30 WW LEDs / m)
- Works with Philips Hue*
- Works With AMAZON ECHO(Alexa) & Google Home Assistant (Via HUE bridge)
*does not work with Apple HomeKit(at the moment).
Colour LED strips are popular, and for good reason. They’re cost-effective, safe (low voltage) and flexible, and they can quickly and easily help you create colour accents in your home. We’ve compiled 10 of the most frequently asked questions about LED strips in general and Innr’s new smart LED strip.
I think I’ve seen LED strips before, but what is a LED strip exactly?
Basically it’s a flexible low voltage self-adhesive strip with lots of LED-lights on it. Power is provided by a plug-in type power supply. The light comes from RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LEDs, which means they can give any colour of light, including all shades of white. The best products combine RGB LEDs and white LEDs (e.g. the Innr Flex Colour) for more powerful and more natural white light.
What’s so smart about the Innr LED strip?
The strip can be controlled with an app. Use your smartphone to switch the light on or off, dim the light or change its colour, all 4 metres of it! Or you can make your life easier with a timer setting to switch on your light strip at sunset and switch them off again at midnight. Or whenever you fancy.
Does the Innr LED strip also work with my Philips Hue system?
Yes! Just keep in mind that Homekit is not supported which unfortunately means you can’t use it with Siri. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are supported in combination with a Hue bridge. The Innr LED strip also works with SmartThings and, of course, with the Innr system.
Is the Innr LED strip better than other smart LED strips?
We would like to think that it is ;-)
The strip is twice as long as the Philips Hue LED strip (just to be precise: 4 metres) and has a smaller distance between the diodes (also known as the pitch) for a smoother light effect. This means less dark spaces or spotting between each LED.
Great! But why do I need it?
Light strips are typically used for decorative accent lighting to create more ambiance or for extra light in dark areas. Popular applications areas are the kitchen, where they are used under cabinets or the kitchen plinth; in the living room as cove lighting, bookshelf lighting or curtain lighting, and in stairwells for extra ambiance and visibility.
16 Million colours sounds like a lot. What colours would work for me?
Colours are fun, but too many colours may be too much of a good thing.
Rule #1: Think about the atmosphere you’d like to create. During the day, fresh colours are best (blues or greens); a more modern daytime colour is purple. During the evening, it’s best to avoid cool colours but focus more on red, orange and yellow tones. If you’re wondering why, give it a go! (Hint: blues and greens can give you a ghostlike appearance!)
Are LED strips bright enough? Or are they perhaps too bright?
Our LED strip provides 1000 lumens maximum; that’s approximately the same output as 100W bulb. For most situations this is more than enough. Usually you’ll want less light. It’s good to know that the Innr LED strip is dimmable up to 0.1%, so ideal for late night ambiance lighting or gentle early morning wake-up light.
Can I use them outside?
Unfortunately, that’s not a good idea. The Innr Flex Light RGBW has been designed for indoor use. Some water on the strip during cleaning is fine but rain and large temperature fluctuations are not good for the LED strip.
4 Metres sounds like a lot of strip! Can I make it shorter?
Yes, you can! And they will still work, provided you cut them at a cut mark. These marks are spaced at 16.6 cm. The best bit: you don’t have to throw out the part you’ve cut off. You can still use it with the second cable that is included.
Anything else I should know before I install the Innr LED strip?
Be gentle if you want to go round corners. Definitely don’t make sharp folds. It’s best to cut the strip instead, using separate power cables for both lengths. If you can’t avoid sharp corners or bends, consider another product e.g. the Innr Strip, which is a good alternative for more compact bookshelves.

By Umar Faruk, Birnin Kebbi
The Kebbi State Ministry of Religious Affairs, says, it has accepted request by the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, to coopt the Boys Brigade, into Hisbah operations for the sake of equity and efficacy.
Already, the offices of Special Advisers on Religious Affairs on Islamic and Christian matters, have been created.
The Commissioner in the ministry, Arc. Muhammad Sani Aliyu, announced this at a Ministerial Press Briefing in Birnin Kebbi organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture this Monday.
“I recently met with the leadership of CAN who inquired if the Boys Brigade can join the activities of Hisbah, and I answered in the positive.
” Recently, some Christians of the same faith had misunderstanding between themselves and sought the intervention of Hisbah which settled the matter amicably and this impressed CAN leaders.
” Hisbah is out to provide social services and uphold morality in the society, and not an enforcer to convert non muslims to Islam”, He explained.
The Commissioner announced that his ministry has begun the process of demographic survey of Almajiri schools to ascertain age of pupils, population, places of origin and economic status of parents to regulates the activities of such schools.
“We will not allow parents to be sending children as young as 5 years to Almajiri schools who end up begging on the streets, at motor parks and abodes of individuals without bright future”, he adds.
Arc. Muhammad Sani Aliyu told newsmen that the Ministry of Religious Affairs has treated 23,542 persons suffering mental challenges with necessary medicaments at the Zauro Psychiatric Medical Outreach, attended to by Doctors from the Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto.
Furthermore, the Ministry has facilitated the signing of Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, between the Kebbi State Government and Qatar Foundation for the sinking of boreholes in 200 locations in the state while linkage has been established for bilateral relations with Indonesia.


DOWNTOWN ZONING UPDATE
While zoning may not seem like an interesting topic or one that might impact you directly, you may be surprised.
Do you love the look and feel of Main Street?
Do you wish parts of downtown looked different?
Keene's downtown zoning update can play a role in addressing these questions.
Recognizing the importance of downtown to Keene and the region, the City is working with the firm, Camiros, to update its downtown zoning regulations. This effort is the first of its kind for the City, as it has been over 50 years since Keene's zoning was examined comprehensively.
In April of 2019, Camiros released a “Technical Review and Approaches Report” that reviews key observations, proposed concepts, and important questions for how Keene might update its downtown zoning. This report reflects input received from the public and the Joint Committee of the Planning Board and PLD.
The City will be accepting comments on the draft Downtown Zoning changes until December 31, 2019. Comments can be shared via email with , or by using the form at the bottom of this page, or by submission to the Keene Community Development, 4th floor, 3 Washington St, Keene, NH 03431.
On Dec. 9 & 10, the Consulting firm Camiros presented on the proposed zoning changes. A copy of this presentation is available here.
Info sessions were held on Nov 19 or Nov 20 to review the proposed zoning changes and receive more info on the draft Ordinance. The presentation from these sessions is available here.


Jennifer Aniston put on a flirty display at the premiere of her new film Wanderlust with boyfriend Justin Theroux in tow.
The actress, 43, was spotted getting very touchy-feely with her co-stars Paul Rudd and Malin Akerman although she kept her distance from her new man.
Aniston gave Rudd a big hug on the red carpet while grabbing hold of Malin’s cheeks to pull her in for a kiss.
While Jennifer seemed keen to avoid being snapped with Justin, the pair were seen sporting matching name rings.
Jennifer and Justin met on the set of the film, which revolves around a couple (Rudd and Aniston) who decide to try living in a rural commune where free love rules.
Aniston said of her co-stars: ‘They’re just great actors. Everybody has a little quirk.
‘Certain people had a hard time learning lines, or learned their lines and would flub off when they were doing off camera, and then some people had an issue with cracking up. Paul Rudd is a notorious breaker. So am I, I may out myself while we’re at it.’
Wanderlust is out in UK cinemas on March 2.

The 152-seat restaurant will feature a wall lined with vintage whiskey bottles guiding patrons up the stairs to the second floor mezzanine overlooking the space, which will accommodate an additional 40 guests for private events. An illuminated vintage city skyline along the wall, and a classic model car collection in a custom glass display add a dash of whimsy to the antique-themed Carolina Kitchen.

Diabetes Breakfast Blunders To Stay clear of
Breakfast is generally the time when you’re busiest – what with packing your youngsters off to school, seeking after the property and rushing to function as well. They can be made use of with a microwave scrambled egg and grated cheese to make a breakfast sandwich, or use it as you would use toast, waffles or pancakes. I hope and pray that you will one particular day come to Africa, especially Ghana to educate men and women about GMO meals. Ive by no means been a breakfast person (employed to knock me out by 1pm), but as im finding older, im begining to realise the significance of breakfast.
If you start off your day by consuming healthy breakfast foods, you will find that sticking to a healthful consuming strategy for the remainder of the day is a lot simpler. Studies show that a superior breakfast with protein and fiber can increase your metabolism and positively influence your consuming options the rest of the day, resulting in a slimmer, healthier, a lot more productive you!
I in no way consume fast food now, and I’ve lost about 84lbs more than 2 years with out even trying. Positive, a large salad initial thing in the morning doesn’t sound as well appetizing, but there are methods to get some vegetables in your program during breakfast. It is excellent for those with meals allergies because there is no wheat, butter and egg in the recipe. Papaya , mango , cantaloupe (rock melon), and oranges …

Ladies’ Day / Woodclyffe Hall, Wargrave / Thursday, April 6
BACK in 2005, Royal Ascot was held in York. In Amanda Whittington’s play Ladies’ Day, this gives four women working in a fish factory the opportunity to leave behind their drab daily lives and to enjoy the adventure of a day at the races.
Staged by Wargrave Theatre Workshop, this was a fast-moving and highly entertaining production, which left the audience helpless with laughter at times. Much credit for this must go to the director, Ann Roberts.
Early on, in a nice coup de theatre, the music changes to “The Stripper” and the women at their factory benches slide out of their work attire to reveal their best Ladies’ Day outfits.
And, of course, they don their superb hats. The drapes are drawn aside to reveal a splendid backdrop (expertly executed by Sheila Williams and Martin Lorenz).
Suddenly we are at York Racecourse. Throughout the piece a white handrail moves around the stage, economically indicating different locations around the ground.
The women have turned up ticketless but then, luckily, chance upon four tickets for the enclosure in a discarded handbag.
Taken out of their comfort zone and fuelled in part by champagne, the women find themselves questioning themselves and each other, and considering new options for their lives.
Pearl (Lydia Massey) had initially suggested the day out to her work colleagues as her retirement do — but she has an ulterior motive.
Ostensibly about to spend more time in retirement with her husband in their caravan in Patrington Haven, she has also for several years been having an affair with a man who happens to be a bookie. In recent days, however, he has stood Pearl up, and she goes looking for him at the racecourse.
Jan (Emmajane Hughes) and her husband parted when their daughter, Claire, was four. Now Jan lives for Claire, but what will she do when Claire leaves home for higher education?
Riotously drunk, she reveals to the whole meeting that she has been in love for some time with Joe, the floor manager in the factory.
Shelley (Jo Cole), the brassiest and most direct of the four, nurtures ambitions of becoming a media queen like Katie “Jordan” Price or “Trisha” Goddard.
We learn that she owes £15,000 on credit cards and store cards. She makes herself known to an unscrupulous TV presenter, who vaguely promises to further her new career in the media and eventually offers her £200 if she will have dinner with him back at his hotel.
This leads to one of the funniest lines in the play, when Shelley asks, in a moment of self-awareness, “Do I look like an ’ooker?” Yes, actually, you do, Shelley.
Linda (Jill Sikkens), the youngest of the four, does her best to keep up. However, partly as a result of sticking to Coca-Cola, she manages to move her life impressively forwards.
An avid fan of the singer Tony Christie, strangely she thinks she might meet him at the racecourse if she looks hard enough.
Instead she meets an Irish jockey called Patrick and romance blossoms. At the same time, she resolves to kick her sponging mother out of her house.
The script called for pace, energy and fast cues from these actors, who duly delivered. They embraced their characters with relish, while also revealing their vulnerability and pathos.
They were matched stride for stride by Peter Pearson, the only male actor in the play, who gave us a brilliant tour de force in six roles, including the three mentioned above.
In a touching scene at the end, superbly played by both actors, he appears as the ghost of Pearl’s bookie lover. He gives her closure by explaining that he has died.
David Williams’s subtle lighting plot added atmosphere and the soundtrack made a vital contribution, especially with the reverberating race commentaries which punctuated proceedings.
Linda may be the biggest fan, but the songs of Tony Christie form a motif running through Ladies’ Day.
The four women enter a jackpot, selecting horses for the six races with names based on Tony Christie songs.
On the day the women nearly win the jackpot but fail when Patrick’s horse comes second in the final race. But in a surprising twist they learn the next day that there has been a stewards’ inquiry and Patrick’s horse is now the winner.
Jubilation ensues and the audience can only wonder what they will do with their winnings.
The only downside to this excellent production is that you go home not only with a smile on your face but unable to stop singing “Is This the Way to Amarillo?” to yourself.
This production was presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.

1. By ferry.
There is a ferry from Istanbul to Yalova. The ferry departs from the Yenikapı Pier in Istanbul. On the first tier of the ferry there is transport, on the second – places for passengers. There are toilets, a buffet, comfortable chairs, open areas to watch the scenery and feed the seagulls.
From the Yenikapı Pier (Yenikapi İDO İskelesi) the ferry runs every two hours every day: 7:45, 9:45, 11:45, 13:45, 15:45, 17:45, 19:45, 21:45. Travel time 1.5 hours.
A passenger ticket costs from 40 liras, transportation of a car from 140 liras for a car and a driver, and another 40 liras for each passenger.
You can buy tickets at the box office of the ferry terminal or online on the website of IDO (İstanbul Deniz Otobüsleri), a company that operates regular ferry flights from Istanbul to Yalova.
If you buy in advance 2-3 days before the trip, you can buy tickets at a discount of 10-30 lira. Tickets are also sold at the box office on the pier. But they cost 10-20% more than online.
Further from the pier in the city of Yalova, you can get to Yalova Termal by minibus (dolmush). Minibuses depart from the pier in Yalova every 15 – 30 minutes. You need to focus on the inscription “Thermal” on the windshield or you can take a taxi. The fare for the dolmush is 4 lira.
2. By bus.
There are several stops in Istanbul from which buses leave for Yalova.
Istanbul Bus Station (Esenler): Fare starts from 65 lira. Drive about 2.5-3 hours. Each transport company has its own route.
Alibeyköy bus station: tickets cost 70-90 lira, the trip takes 1.5-2 hours.
Sancaktepe (Samandıra Terminali): a seat on the bus costs from 90 lira. You’ll be there in about an hour.
3. Rent a car.
The cheapest are cars on the mechanics, the most expensive are SUVs and business-class sedans. If you take a few days, they will make a discount.
Car companies have rules: the tenant cannot be younger than 21, and the driving experience is at least 1 year.
You can also get from Istanbul to Yalova by ferry with a car. Another option is to drive along the shore and cross the strait on Osman Gazi. Then along the way you can stop in small towns. 2 roads lead from Istanbul to the resort – D-100 Karayolu and the Anadolu highway. On them you need to get to Dilovasi, where the bridge begins, and then go along the sea to Yalova. If there are no traffic jams, the trip will take 1.5-2 hours. Near the port of Yalova there are several paid parking lots where tourists leave their cars.
4. By taxi.
A taxi to Yalova will cost about 300 lira. If you go with a family or a company of 3-4 people, it turns out cheaper than by bus.
Holidays in Yalova are suitable for those who do not like noisy places, are accustomed to peace and quiet. It is also worth visiting for those who want to improve their health and just relieve stress. Yalova is very close to Istanbul, there are sea, mountains and forests of great beauty. It is real to spend a vacation here for any wallet. The resort is open all year round.
– kebab and drink – 10 lire;
– a three-course lunch for one person in a cheap cafe of Turkish cuisine – from 15 liras;
– dinner on two of three courses (without alcohol), in a middle-class restaurant – from 90 lire;
– a grocery basket in a supermarket for a week of food for one person – from 200 lira;
– 0.5 glass of draft beer – from 10 lire;
– hookah – from 50 lira.
The cost of goods and services here is somewhat lower than in the more popular Turkish resorts.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Carson Wentz tossed two touchdown passes, Jalen Mills had a pick-6 and the NFL-leading Philadelphia Eagles beat the winless San Francisco 49ers, 33-10, on a sloppy, rainy Sunday.
The Eagles (7-1) overcame a slow start on their way to a sixth straight win. The 49ers are 0-8 for the first time in franchise history.
Wentz was 18 of 32 for 211 yards and one interception. He threw a 53-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery and 1-yard TD pass to Zach Ertz.
VIKINGS 33, BROWNS 16
LONDON (AP) -- Case Keenum threw for two touchdowns and Kai Forbath made four field goals in the last of four games held this season in Britain.
Adam Thielen had five catches for 98 yards and a touchdown for the NFC North-leading Vikings (6-2), who trailed 13-12 at halftime -- the first time the Browns, 0-8 for the second consecutive year, claimed a mid-game lead this season.
Cleveland, without starting left tackle Joe Thomas for the first time since 2006, scored first, taking a 6-0 lead on its second play from scrimmage before kicker Zane Gonzalez's missed extra point.
SEAHAWKS 41, TEXANS 38
SEATTLE (AP) -- Russell Wilson hit Jimmy Graham for an 18-yard touchdown with 21 seconds left, his second TD catch of the fourth quarter.
Down 38-34 with 1:39 left and out of timeouts, Wilson took Seattle 80 yards in barely a minute.
Wilson finished 26 of 41 for a career-high 452 yards and four TDs. Deshaun Watson was nearly the equal of Wilson, throwing for 402 yards and four TD's.
COWBOYS 33, REDSKINS 19
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Ezekiel Elliott ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns and the Cowboys took advantage of a blocked field goal return and three turnovers.
Playing in a driving rainstorm that made it difficult to hold onto the ball, let alone throw it, Dak Prescott completed 14 of his 22 passes for 143 yards as Dallas (4-3) heeded the message on Elliott's cleats to "Feed Zeke."
BILLS 34, RAIDERS 14
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Rookie linebacker Matt Milano scored on a 40-yard fumble return on a rain-slick field, and the Bills forced four turnovers.
Tyrod Taylor threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Andre Holmes and also scored on a 1-yard run for Buffalo. LeSean McCoy had a season-best 151 yards rushing and also scored on a 48-yard run.
FALCONS 25, JETS 20
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes and the Falcons slipped and slid to victory on a soggy field.
Fumbled snaps, dropped passes and a big-time drenching at MetLife Stadium had both squads trying to find their footing, but the Falcons (4-3) steadied themselves just enough to snap a three-game skid -- all to other AFC East teams.
SAINTS 20, BEARS 12
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Drew Brees completed 23 of 28 for 299 yards against a Bears defense that ranked sixth in pass defense for the Saints' fifth straight win.
Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara each ran for touchdowns for New Orleans (5-2). Ingram finished with 99 yards from scrimmage, including 75 on the ground, but his two late fumbles kept the Bears in the game into the final minutes. Kamara had 76 yards from scrimmage, 48 receiving.
BENGALS 24, COLTS 23
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Lineman Carlos Dunlap batted Jacoby Brissett's pass into the air, grabbed the ball and ran 16 yards to the end zone for a game-turning touchdown.
The defensive end excels at swatting away passes -- he led NFL linemen last season -- and changed the game with his third career score.
PANTHERS 17, BUCCANEERS 3
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Carolina's defense didn't allow a TD for the second straight week, helping the Panthers snap a two-game losing streak.
Cam Newton rebounded from a subpar performance in a 14-point road loss to the Bears, leading a 17-play, 82-yard TD drive that consumed more eight minutes of the opening quarter.

She thought about it. Looked at it from every single angle. Carefully weighed her options. Measured it with her eyes over and over. And then finally, with hunger outweighing fear, she jumped out with every ounce of courage she could muster and grabbed the wire and shimmied down to her reward. After that initial success, she effortlessly leaped out time and again, never again hesitating, never questioning what was possible.
Proof that what holds us back is confined to what we tell ourselves. I never know what clever disguise my next "teacher" will choose.

The 582nd meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council on the AU Peace Fund
The Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU), at its 582ndmeeting held on 14 March 2016, was briefed by the AU Commissioner for Peace and Security, Ambassador Smail Chergui on the AU Peace Fund, as well as by the AU High Representative for the Peace Fund, Dr. Donald Kaberuka, on his activities.
Council took noteof the comprehensive briefing given by the AU High Representative for the Peace Fund, in particular, his consultations with key partners with regard to the AU's proposals that AU-led peace support operations be financed from United Nations (UN) assessed contributions, since these missions are undertaken within the framework of the UN Charter, in which the UN Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, while the role of regional arrangements is also recognized.
Council congratulated Dr. Kaberuka on his appointment as the AU High Representative for the Peace Fund, tasked with assisting the AU to meet its financial commitments to peace and security, develop a roadmap for sustainable funding for AU-led peace support operations, mobilize funds to the Peace Fund and to also act as an important interlocutor with international partners on the proposal that UN assessed contributions be provided to finance AU-led peace support operations. Encouraging him to persevere in discharging his responsibilities, Council pledged its full support to his efforts.
Council underscored the imperative need for all Member States to extend their full cooperation to Dr. Kaberuka, in order to ensure the success of his efforts. In this context, Council recalled decision Assembly/AU/Dec. 561(XXXIV) on alternative sources of funding, adopted at the 25thOrdinary Session of the Assembly of the Union, held from 14 to 15 June 2015, in Johannesburg, South Africa, regarding the need for Member States to enhance ownership of the budget of the Union by financing 100% of the operating budget, 75% of the programme budget, and 25% of the peace and security budget, to be phased in incrementally over a five-year period. In this respect, Council urged all Member States to fully honour their commitments.
Underlining the close linkages between peace, security and development, Council strongly appealed to all Member States to extend their full support to Dr. Kaberuka during the course of his consultations at the highest level within Africa, as part of the overall African efforts to silence the guns by 2020.
Council called on the UN to respond positively to its call for financing of AU-led peace support operations from UN assessed contributions, and urged African members of the UN Security Council to promote this agenda vigorously.
Council looked forward to the finalization of the AU Peace Fund roadmap, which would include modalities for the realization of the AU's contribution of 25% of the cost of AU-led peace support operations, and its submission to the Assembly of the Union at its next Ordinary Session in June-July 2016, before submission to the 71stUN General Assembly in September 2016.
Council agreed to remain actively seized of the matter.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Bottles of Walmart-brand echinacea, an herb said to ward off colds, were found to contain no echinacea at all. GNC-brand bottles of St. John’s wort, touted as a cure for depression, held rice, garlic and a tropical houseplant, but not a trace of the herb.
In fact, DNA testing on hundreds of bottles of store-brand herbal supplements sold as treatments for everything from memory loss to prostate trouble found that four out of five contained none of the herbs on the label. Instead, they were packed with cheap fillers such as wheat, rice, beans or houseplants.
Analysis finds most brands contain only 68% of fatty acid amounts listed on label
Nearly all fish oil supplements marketed in New Zealand contain much less of the brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids than their labels claim, an eye-opening study has found.
When researchers at the University of Auckland’s Liggins Institute tested 36 different brands of fish oil capsules, just three contained the same concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids as listed on the label.
They found that over half had oxidised to a level higher than the recommended limit – and this had nothing to do with the best-before date, price, or country they came from.
